And so we make it to chapter two….Heh, and let's see if I can keep with a song each chapter. That's a doubtful chance, but I'll try because I have nothing better to do. Except maybe study for mid-terms….eheh…..Ah well.
Oh. And I know nothing about trains, only some pictures from Spanish class, but that's about it. And Bakura has a section (dream) where he's kind of off character, swears a lot, lol.
/Yugi to Yami/
//Yami to Yugi//
{Ryou to Bakura}
[Bakura to Ryou]
*Malik to Mariku*
~*Mariku to Malik*~
Though really, none of those will probably be used except for the Ishtar one, lol. But why put two instead of the, all? Hn? Lol, whatever.
Disclaimer: You all know I don't own YGO, and the song before this chapter. Just to add on, I don't own Vanessa Carlton's Twilight.

(Bakura)
I sat in the back of the meal car, the train having sleeping ones, this eating one, and some other one. Not bad. I was lucky, got a table all to myself by the window and am now sipping on some tea.
Now before I actually boarded this hunk of scrap that took me away from the dread of Domino, I was hearing voices. I swear my name was being called, but feeling mocked and even a little ashamed, I never did look back. Why should I have?
I watch one of those servant people, whatever Ryou always called them go down the aisle and refills my tea. Then leaves. Good.
There's no turning back now, well….actually there is. But hell, I won't, no matter WHAT my heart tells me to do. This train stops at some other town before actually reaching Silver Shores, and that's the one spot I have where I can change my destiny, so to speak. But as the metal car pulls into the new station, I stay seated, watching the adrift of people leave and get on before staring back into my tea. It just looks so very interesting.
Now the matter of living arrangements, well I figure myself screwed and on the streets, just like Egypt…
Kuso.
" 'Eh, mind if I sit 'ere bub?"
I glance to some ragged man standing by my table, a death glare fixed firmly as I hiss out meaningfully. "Fuck off."
"Ya shouldn' talk like dat to people like meh, sweet 'ems."
My glare becomes stronger, I'm not going to be this man's whore. Only one could get that out of me. But back to this guy…. How the hell did he get on this train?! Do a little dance to impress the conductor? Oh, that may be the case actually….
"Excuse me, but I think you should leave that man there alone before you become drawn into another damn realm."
Glance changes. To someone behind the ragged idiot, the sneer in the "polite" words catching my ears. A dandy surprise it is as the man is shoved down the aisle and someone takes the seat across from me, smirking.
"Well. Of all people to find on a train, I'd never thought it'd be you, Bakura."
"Mariku. Why the hell are you here?" I raise a brow, leaning back at staring at the opposing spirit, the inhibitor of the rod.
"Going home. Are you THAT dim? My light and I moved from Domino a while ago, live in Silver Shores…I was out in this area for um…a small card tournament thing…."
I chuckle a bit fake some, heh, him in a card tournament just doesn't seem normal. That would be….Yami….
I bite my lip a bit, chasing the thought of the other from my mind and look back up at Mariku.
"Did you win?"
"Of course."
"Did you cheat?"
"Of course."
Figure. Never can change his ways, an impossible task! But… This DOES open up an option for me though….
~*~
I was stained with a roll
In a day not my own
~*~
The question in need of asking in just lingering on my tongue, the formation of it weak and distant. It's a wonder how I was actually able to speak. "Can I stay at your place?"
"What…?"
"I need a place to stay when I get to Silver Shores. I would only be there for a week or so….maybe….." A mumble a bit my next pair of words. "….a month."
"A month?! ….Ah. Whatever. Just don't be a slob."
I stand and smirk at the other. "Like you?" He merely grits his teeth at me and I brush by towards the sleeping car, needing a nap on my bed…thing. Whatever it is. Heh, it is kind of nice (so to speak), each little knack in the wall has a light and each of the beds (kind of like bunks) already had sheets and the crap on. And good…. No one else seemed to be sleeping right now. Guess I'm just special…. Or stupid. Maybe both, which is a more likely option.
I flop atop the bed and stare at the one above me. If I sleep, I'll think of him, if I don't…well I will at some point so I might as well stop running.
My eyes close and I solemnly hate myself for the fact that all I see is Yami. Images, so many, of all the times I've seen him, mocked him….whatever! Just….so much stress on the damned mind of mine!
I still miss him…even….even if he doesn't care…..
~*~
And as you walked into my life
You showed what was needed to be shown
And I always knew what was right
Just didn't know that I might
~*~
Why did I have to make jokes of you so much? Why couldn't I have just been like my hikari…? Hell, he has friends, people that care if he lives of dies. My only "friends" are Malik and Mariku, and if they're what a real friend is, then I'm in trouble.
~*~
Peel away and choose to see was such different side

(Yami)
Gods! Why can't the next train come any SOONER?! Though, my pacing doesn't help make anything better (that's how Ryou puts it anyway), but what am I supposed to do? Yeah, maybe I should go get another cup of coffee…..black. Of course. Maybe it'd be my, what? Sixth, seventh cup?
"Eighth, Yami."
I glance down to where Ryou sat, both of us still in the waiting room of the station. Can he read minds all of a sudden? Maybe my eyes gave it away….
"Sit down, Yami… You're shaking. Now if it's over my yami, or from the coffee, I have no idea….but either way, sit down. It's unhealthy."
"But…" I stop my talking as I look in his eyes, so determined and firm. My own gaze shifts to stare at my hands, seeing clearly in this atmosphere the intense movements they're vibrating at. Then I sit across from Ryou, staring at my hands before they cover my face and I just lose it again. I've been good too, hadn't shed a tear since the thought of finding Bakura became a grateful hope engraved in my mind. "Ryou….I-I can't…."
"Shh….it'll be find. We'll find him.." He comforts me with soft eyes, though not moving from his chair, but I still find the energy for a minor nod and rub my eyes red. I can't believe this. Still can't believe I let it happen. Why dammit?!
I think Ryou noticed my sudden drop in attitude and did at last move himself from his chair, moving across to embrace me, gently stroking my hair to keep me from losing my mind again..
~*~
And I will never see the sky...the same way

(Bakura)
When I seemed I had slipped into a sleep at last, I had made my way into a dream. Well, I hope it to be a dream anyway by the way things looked in wherever it was I may be. It's like one of those dream sequences they show on TV, with all the flattened and stopped clocks dangling around and scattered on the barren land. Oh yeah, definitely a dream here.
I aimlessly continue walking through my oh-so-lovely-sequence. Yeah, just SO colorful, the BEST place I want to be and spend a dream in.
The scenery began to change to the slightest, and I didn't notice until it was right smack before me. Damn large too. A table, covered in a red and white checkered table cloth. What the fuck?! Am I in Alice in Wonderland or something?! Feels that way. And why the heck I'm climbing up one of the chairs, I have no real idea.
As I reach the table top, I now REALLY don't think I wanted to climb up. What I see as I stand on the top of the table cloth…..
…Is a rabbit.
No, at least it's not that stupid one from Alice in Wonderland that runs around going "I'm late! Oh frilling god I'm late!" No, it's not that. For one thing, it's really big, and it's black, not white. And at least it isn't pink (how that could be possible….well, it's a dream).
Maybe I'm just going crazed too, but I think the rabbit is like….stuffed. You know, little (understatement) stuffed animal childish kids keep on their beds? Like that, old and scruffy too, hell, it has a button eye falling out.
It hops forward and than behind me, pushing me ahead to where it was standing and infront of a really large crystal ball. I look back at it, ready to mouth off, but it takes my head in two fabric paws and makes me watch as an image of the real world (or it looks real) forms in it.
And I gasp, trying to tear my eyes away from what I see. I notice it is indeed the train station, the one in Domino that I had left, and the image is of the waiting room (la sala de espera). What? Ryou took a week of Spanish and then….well….I kind of got him kicked out by taking over and deciding to speak what "special" words I know in French, he took that class too. But I learned the "special" words somewhere else. But back to the hateful image and what I exactly see….
It's Ryou and Yami. Ryou HUGGING Yami. How could he?! How the fucking hell could he DO this to me?! And the worst thing is I just KNOW this is real, don't ask me how, I just….do. Senses of a spirit.
I growl and move forward to lift the crystal ball that is indeed much bigger than I, but this IS a dream and I should be able to do what I want, like lift a stupid shiny ball and drop it on the fucking rabbit that made me see the cursed image. "Damn you and your stuffing."
~*~
Never cared
Never wanted
Never sought to see what flaunted
So on purpose
So in my face, couldn't see beyond my own place
And it was so easy not to behold
What I could hold
~*~
******
I awake back in my cot….thing. Eyes clenched shut. Mind breaking down. Body numb. You may laugh, but how do you think you'd be if you saw your own other half betray you and go falling in love with the one you love?! The one *I* love! Dammit, how could this have happened?! Sure, he didn't actually know of my feelings….but….still…..
This is terrible.
"Bakura…?"
I look up and see Mariku staring down at me from a bunk or whatever above me.
"W-what?" Ok, so having a shaking voice infront of Mariku wasn't what I would normally plan. But I guess even him can change after years that have gone by…. Hell, I would have expected him to laugh at me…but he didn't. He actually is looking at me with sympathy….
"You ok?"
"No."
"Then what is it? You've been distant since I saw you in the other train car."
"It's…..n-nothing…"
"Explain to me why then, you are crying for the first time I've ever seen you? Hn?"
"Dammit, leave me alone!" I snatch one of two pillows from the bed I'm upon and through it up at him, but "of course" he dodged it and tossed it back before laying down on his top bed. I grumbled and stuffed the pillow under my head, laying to glare at the floor, though tears stained my face, and part of my shirt for that matter. He didn't bother me after that, and good for him too. The Man-Eater Bug would've had to pay him a visit, and I don't care if he could counter it himself.
******
(Yami)
I was calm again. Somehow, I was calm.
But normally when I get calm, it doesn't last long at all. I chuckle to myself a bit, Ryou gives me a look from where he's sitting once again, an apple at hand and a manga. Don't really know of what it is he's reading, and I don't give a bother to look at the title. Too much "strain" on the eyes, in my frilling opinion. Heh, and as me drifting back into my happy land (what's left of it) of thoughts, I think of….Bakura! He thinks I hate him. He thinks I bloody hate him and he has no idea that he helped me in life. I remember myself as a Pharaoh, hell thank god I'm not like that anymore! I think him and his "comments" often helped me out of that….ahem….attitude….
~*~
But you taught me
I could change whatever came within these shallow days
And I will never see the sky...the same way
And I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday
And I will never seize to fly if held down
And I will always reach too high...
Cause I've seen...cause I've seen...
~*~
I should have brought a book. "I'm going over to the news stand, Ryou.." I mumble briefly, standing and walking away from the area. Maybe I can find a romance novel that's like my life. Either that or a fairy tale that ends in "happily ever after."
******
(Mariku)
Bakura. Of all people. I'd never expected to see him cry, and break down the way I found him, but heck, whatever happened in Domino seriously tweaked him. But now my light and I are stuck with him, which really isn't a problem, but still….if he keeps a breakdown like this I'm going to put a leash on him and tie him up outside our apartment like some dog. He can cry out there.
~*Aibou, I'm bringing home a stray.*~
*You said you'd stop taking home sluts!*
~*It's Bakura.*~
*Wha- um…..ok……should I make a bed up for him then, we do have that small guest room..*
~*Unless you want him sleeping in your room, then I think it'd be a good idea.*~
He seems to silence the link after that, which earns a small chuckle from me, but that's besides the point. Hn, he isn't that bad of a human. Kept me alive anyway, when Yami had given him a fair chance to kill me off, but he kept me. Makes ME sound like a dog, but whatever. Perhaps I am.
Maybe there's even a sense I have for him, a twing of gratitude or, well, I don't know….something more? Hell, yeah right. Impossible to get from me, and he better not want anything either.
~*~
As the sun shines through it pushes away and pushes ahead
It fills the warmth of blue and leaves a chill instead and
I didn't know that I could be so blind to all that is so real
~*~
I believe that's what I hope anyway.
I glance over the side of the bed once more, seeing the glare Bakura sets to the floor still there, but at least he seems to have stopped crying. Externally, who knows about what his mind and whatever he's going through. I think I feel bad, actually.
But, fuck, really it's not my problem. Hey, I won the grand bastardly Tri-Horned Dragon from that cheesy town duel with a few cheats and my God Card, was easy really. Didn't even have to cheat THAT much. Ahem…
That doesn't matter either.
And it seems we can finally get off this fucked-ass train in a few passing minutes, I see a clerk person, whatever, going down the aisle and shooing people into the passenger cars as we near the station. I hit him to the ground with the rod and walk over him, dragging Bakura (who was reluctant), back into where they wanted everyone and hissed at a few people who had seen me knock out that other person. They seem to let me be, what a surprise!
Gods.
Bakura gives me a look as I sit in a window seat and I just look back absently. Hell, he looks like a fucking rat by the way his face is twisted. "Will you just sit, you're making a scene."
He glares and sits, I go back to staring out the window. It's night now, but it still feels bright out like morning, guess it's just the moon..
~*~
But as illusion dies I see there is so much to be revealed
And I will never see the sky...the same way
And I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday
And I will never seize to fly if held down
And I will always reach too high...
Cause I've seen...cause I've seen...

(Bakura)
I don't understand the sudden anger I had for Mariku, maybe it was just my current mood. But at least I'd be off this train soon and HOPEFULLY in a DECENT living area. If I end up in a box, then that's it I'm living in the Shadow Realm or dying. Not sure which is better, I haven't actually played cards with D. Human for awhile….
Oi….as the train finally stops and everyone stands in a jumbled bunch, I have no idea where my life is going to go. Most likely, downhill, because that's…..what it normally does.

I was stained with a roll

Ok, so I had a little…..fun with this chapter. Bakura's dream mainly, eheh. Lol, and I admit, I started squishing lyrics together oO;;;
Ah, I may add another pairing to this… Malik/Mariku. I never actually have done a yami/hikari pairing….but it seems like I could form it in this, what do you all think?
Was a long song though! Good, but long and I was getting lazy. Next chapter will be up in no quick of time. Gotta find a song that fits what I want and then have to type it, which has been taking me a really long time lately. *Sigh* That's life. A roller coaster.
Oh. And I know nothing about trains, only some pictures from Spanish class, but that's about it. And Bakura has a section (dream) where he's kind of off character, swears a lot, lol.

I should have brought a book. "I'm going over to the news stand, Ryou.." I mumble briefly, standing and walking away from the area. Maybe I can find a romance novel that's like my life. Either that or a fairy tale that ends in "happily ever after."

Bakura. Of all people. I'd never expected to see him cry, and break down the way I found him, but heck, whatever happened in Domino seriously tweaked him. But now my light and I are stuck with him, which really isn't a problem, but still….if he keeps a breakdown like this I'm going to put a leash on him and tie him up outside our apartment like some dog. He can cry out there.
~*Aibou, I'm bringing home a stray.*~
*You said you'd stop taking home sluts!*
~*It's Bakura.*~
*Wha- um…..ok……should I make a bed up for him then, we do have that small guest room..*
~*Unless you want him sleeping in your room, then I think it'd be a good idea.*~
He seems to silence the link after that, which earns a small chuckle from me, but that's besides the point. Hn, he isn't that bad of a human. Kept me alive anyway, when Yami had given him a fair chance to kill me off, but he kept me. Makes ME sound like a dog, but whatever. Perhaps I am.
Maybe there's even a sense I have for him, a twing of gratitude or, well, I don't know….something more? Hell, yeah right. Impossible to get from me, and he better not want anything either.

As the sun shines through it pushes away and pushes ahead
It fills the warmth of blue and leaves a chill instead and
I didn't know that I could be so blind to all that is so real
~*~
I believe that's what I hope anyway.
I glance over the side of the bed once more, seeing the glare Bakura sets to the floor still there, but at least he seems to have stopped crying. Externally, who knows about what his mind and whatever he's going through. I think I feel bad, actually.
But, fuck, really it's not my problem. Hey, I won the grand bastardly Tri-Horned Dragon from that cheesy town duel with a few cheats and my God Card, was easy really. Didn't even have to cheat THAT much. Ahem…
That doesn't matter either.
And it seems we can finally get off this fucked-ass train in a few passing minutes, I see a clerk person, whatever, going down the aisle and shooing people into the passenger cars as we near the station. I hit him to the ground with the rod and walk over him, dragging Bakura (who was reluctant), back into where they wanted everyone and hissed at a few people who had seen me knock out that other person. They seem to let me be, what a surprise!
Gods.
Bakura gives me a look as I sit in a window seat and I just look back absently. Hell, he looks like a fucking rat by the way his face is twisted. "Will you just sit, you're making a scene."
He glares and sits, I go back to staring out the window. It's night now, but it still feels bright out like morning, guess it's just the moon..

But as illusion dies I see there is so much to be revealed
And I will never see the sky...the same way
And I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday
And I will never seize to fly if held down
And I will always reach too high...
Cause I've seen...cause I've seen...

I don't understand the sudden anger I had for Mariku, maybe it was just my current mood. But at least I'd be off this train soon and HOPEFULLY in a DECENT living area. If I end up in a box, then that's it I'm living in the Shadow Realm or dying. Not sure which is better, I haven't actually played cards with D. Human for awhile….
Oi….as the train finally stops and everyone stands in a jumbled bunch, I have no idea where my life is going to go. Most likely, downhill, because that's…..what it normally does.

I was stained with a roll
In a day not my own
And as you walked into my life
You showed what was needed to be shown
And I always knew what was right
Just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see was such different side
And I will never see the sky...the same way
And I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday
And I will never seize to fly if held down
And I will always reach too high...
Cause I've seen...cause I've seen...

Life is just too damn long of a roller coaster, goes up for so long, and yet then you suddenly crash down that steepness and if you're on a real crappy one, crash-boom-you're-dead.

Ok, so I had a little…..fun with this chapter. Bakura's dream mainly, eheh. Lol, and I admit, I started squishing lyrics together oO;;;
Ah, I may add another pairing to this… Malik/Mariku. I never actually have done a yami/hikari pairing….but it seems like I could form it in this, what do you all think?
Was a long song though! Good, but long and I was getting lazy. Next chapter will be up in no quick of time. Gotta find a song that fits what I want and then have to type it, which has been taking me a really long time lately. *Sigh* That's life. A roller coaster.
