My Last Breath by Evanescence
Hiiii people….. *sweat drops* don't hurt me! I've been….ah….putting this off a bit too long…. *cough* But LFangor and Todokanunegai convinced me otherwise. I call it black mail in three directions. If I don't update this, Chained to You will be discontinued which would lead to Abstinence to not be updated. I feel so loved to be the lifeline for both those fics. And if this is short….ah….blame Bakura, he's been a lousy muse lately. I had to hire Otogi and Yoh to cover just for his laziness.
*Points at the above blurb* Man, I wrote that awhile ago oO;;
But anyway, I've changed the song for this way too much. Ok, so this one is the third of my choices and then I had to go back to remember what had actually happened. Ahh, but at least I know how half of the chapter will flow, and because no one denied anything, there is an added pairing of Malik/Mariku (Bronzeshipping).
Quick note on how lyrics are done now:
Song lyrics
Are like this
Yeah, ok then.

(Malik)
One of the most hated things I must do as of recently is to make up the guest room for Bakura. He's coming to stay with my yami and I… But why?! Why did they have to come?! My yami of course I want back! He's the only person I've ever cared for in my life even if he cares jack about me. I don't care, I want him home.
But Bakura…
Why did he have to be the one to come back? I'm damn sure the two had a relationship in Egypt, so what happens now? What if they're together again? Dammit! Why did I think I ever had a chance with my other half? What was I thinking? He's so much better than me….and he doesn't even respect me! How could I let myself fall for him…
I start and leave the guest room, finishing Bakura's bed and moving towards the living room. My eyes fall to the door and I swear I heard someone behind it….but…I guess not. Maybe paranoia. Maybe I'm just as insane as everyone believes me to be. Who knows, it doesn't help me no matter the answer of which.
************
(Bakura)
At last we are off that cursed train with our stuff and out of the station into the town new to me by the name of Silver Shores. It's May, so the air is a holds almost a soft, crisp warmth if you could call it that. I guess where I picked to live wasn't such a bad option, I get a place to stay for awhile and it damn well better not be messy. Who knows, maybe I'll be better sleeping in a box.
"Hey, you coming or not?"
"Aren't we taking a…..um….taxi or something?" A blink a bit when he looks at me as if I were insane. Which of course, I am.
"Taxi? Hell no, we aren't that far away, come on already." He scoffed and I rolled my eyes, following after the other along as he explained random sites to me. I'm guessing the beaches are a big thing here….but who cares…. What's the point of walking on one or even being there if you aren't with someone you love? I sigh and only start paying attention again to him when he talks about his hikari. "Oh….and Malik has been acting kind of….weird lately…"
"What do you mean?" I blink at him, not by the topic, but by how the other feels uneasy about the it.
"Ah…well, he seems to have two personalities lately. He either starts to throw a fit, or acts rather distant and quiet.."
"That doesn't seem much like him."
"No, it's not," he sighed a bit, looking off to the side and away from me. "So if he snaps out or ignores you, just don't try to fuel whichever emotion that's effecting him. He's thrown more than one dish at me lately…" Ha. Hikari rebellion, probably trying to make Mariku run out of his life or something….but not even Ryou's really done that to me…
I miss that white-tufted hikari.
And Yami.
"Bakura, I'm not holding the door open for you all day," Mariku mutters bitterly and I snap out of a daze from remembering the two, looking up as Mariku is gripping a glass door of the entrance to a lobby for a nice sized apartment building. Hn… wonder which floor theirs is on..
I mumble an apology and step in, glancing at the front customer service counter, I think it was more for around the town stuff, not really for the apartment. Mariku leads me to the elevator and as we enter it, he lets a finger slide to push for the third floor. Not bad. Place so far seems nice, then again, I haven't seen his apartment yet. "Oh, and mock the view, and die." I raise a brow, what, is he facing a garbage dump or something?
************
(Malik)
If wallowing in misery was illegal, I'd have been locked up awhile ago. But who can actually blame me?! The buzz of the elevator is impossible to miss and I know it's my yami with Bakura because I can feel them. I don't want him here….why does he have to stay with us…..
I hear the click of a key and look up from the couch to the ceiling and then lower my gaze a bit again to look towards the glass slider that leads to a porch. At least the weather is nice…despite my gloomy mind twisting the image to a dark scene. Maybe I'll move to the Shadow Realm.
"Aibou? You ok?"
"Hm…?" I turn where I'm sitting so I face the door, blushing lightly when I see my dark half for the first time in a couple of days. That last moment we had before the other left the apartment wasn't exactly what I planned. I threw a dish at his head. But luckily he dodged and it came crashing against the closed door he left quickly from… "Oh, yeah, sure… Hi, Bakura."
The silver-haired looks up at me, setting a suitcase off to the side by the door and shuffling in. I try not to glare, instead I know I look mildly depressed.
Hold onto me love
You know I can't stay long
Though….the other doesn't look all too swift himself… "I setup the guest room."
"Thanks," Bakura mutters and I glare sharply at him for his level of thankfulness. I stand, moving towards the two and standing in front of Bakura.
"So why do you bother coming from Domino to here?"
He looks away. "Oh what a surprise, the 'great tomb-robber' is running from his problems," I chuckle and ignore my yami glaring at me with a face saying to knock it off. But I don't want to….I mean I really don't want to. It's Bakura's own fault for coming here!
"Malik," my other growls my name…I hate it when he says it like I'm a curse…, "he's had a rough day, lay off."
"Why should I?!" I snap bitterly and he actually goes quiet while I get in the spirit's face who's trying to shrink away from me. Bakura seems to have real issues.. Oh well. Not my problem one bit. "So, Bakura, what's the story?"
"Leave me alone…"
"This is my apartment remember, I don't have to do anything you want," I spit and he glares up at me with sorrow filled eyes.
"Listen, I don't want any trouble with you, Malik…I just want to sleep…."
I falter a bit and start towards my room (the apartment is only one floor, not large, but decent sized), whispering a bit weakly. "Fine, go sleep with Mariku then." I slip into my room, slamming the door shut and locking it.
All I wanted to say is that I love you and I'm not afraid
************
(Mariku)
I, like Bakura, stare bewilder at the closed door and look back towards the other slowly, clearing my throat. "Well, that's different from any tantrum he's had before…" I gulp and Bakura slumps towards the slider and opens it to stand out on the white porch. I follow him a bit, gazing out into the air where three stories below is a field of grass that with a nice rock incline, leads to a beach down the hill. The long tall grass takes a gentle blow in the wind, a sea breeze entering to refresh the room. "You never would tell me, why are you actually here and not in Domino?"
"I needed to get away from someone I fell in love with…." I raise a brow at that comment, not really thinking Bakura was capable of loving another. Then again, I never though I would be. This seems to be the most I'll get out of Bakura and I try reaching Malik over our link, but it's completely sealed. I have no idea where his last comment came from….of all people, Bakura would not be someone I'd choose to sleep with… It just….no, it wouldn't happen, not even in Egypt did it get that close. I think I punched him a few times back then…
"Right….I'll be back….I need to check on my hikari…"
He nods and I turn around, moving towards the room and trying the knob, grunting with annoyance as its locked. What could I have figured? I lower a hand into my pocket, pulling out a safety pin and cracking it open as I lean against the door and start picking into the lock. Odd though….it sounds like he's….crying in there…
************
(Malik)
Dammit, I hate the world! I sniffle, my head in my bed's pillow as I'm curled around it on the mattress. I should just leave….leave the two alone… Yeah, yeah that makes sense…I'll find somewhere on the streets to go…. I can leave during the night when they'll be curled up on the bed or couch or floor…whatever…they'll be together…and…
My eyes start to water as I whimper aloud again, body shaking with tears. They'll be happier…
"A-Aibou…?" I hear a voice from the door of my dark room and look up, eyes red from crying as I spot my yami and immediately stare towards the window that I had put a blanket over so light wouldn't come in.
"How'd you get in…? The door was locked…"
"I was a thief in my past life, you thought I couldn't pick locks?"
"…………."
"Malik….what's happening to you…?"
I fail to respond, how can I? Why does he care? Oh, I know why actually. He's pissed because I snapped off at Bakura.
"Gee, I didn't mean to be so utterly crude to your lover," I whimper miserably, "but you don't have to worry…I was going to wait and leave tonight….but I'll just go now. You can finally be happy without me being around…" I hug my pillow again as I sit up and he's starting to speak, but I cut him off before he can. "No….don't say anything…you can have an extra room now too…..I know I'm a bothersome hikari for you, I know that…I-I just wished that things could have been different…." I might as well tell him what's been on my mind recently, as I'll be out of here soon. "But you found Bakura instead….s-so just don't…..forget about me…."
I stood and moved towards a chair by the window, grabbing a dull gray coat from it and sliding it on, starting passed my dark half without another word. I think I felt him touch my arm to stop me or something, but I know this is for the best and I suddenly bolt, throwing open the door to our apartment and taking to the hall way towards the elevator. I hope they're happy.
************
(Mariku)
Shit! Where the hell is he going?! He could of at least let me say something! Something like 'stay'! But no….dammit….the little….
Our link is still down and I can't scream at him to stop, only option is to chase after him. I'm a good runner, did it a lot in the past to get away from guards. I take my own coat from the small, open living room where Bakura is sitting quietly, it's almost identical to that of my other's coat, except a bit longer in length. "Sorry, Bakura, I have to run before Malik does something crazy!"
"Like what…?"
I turn from where I was about to fly out the door and look back at him. "Like what? Like leave me!" I snap, entering into the hall way and noting the elevator had closed and I was out of luck if I wanted to catch up with him. Helping little building putting the small little word of STAIRS over a certain doorway and I move down those instead, getting down in two jumps. What? It's quite easy. Jump down the first ten or fifteen steps, then go down that next remaining set with a good, clean jump.
Easy enough.
The lobby has a group of people walking through and a few pairs and shit. Not Malik. Sure, sure, he had to chose happy-hour to try and ditch out on me. "Get out of my way!" I snap, pushing a random tourist to the ground and pushing through the small crowds as Malik was in my line of vision, and almost out one of the doors. Hell no! I am NOT losing track of him…. I….can't….
"Aibou!"
He fails to respond, but he stops and doesn't look back, as if debating with himself, but he keeps moving! Ugh…stubborn….of course, he probably got that from me, now that I think about it.
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?
I finally catch up to him and grab his arm and spin him around, and shove him up against the door. I think I scared him…
Good.
************
(Malik)
"W-" I start, scared to death when I felt spun around, but my voice disappears when I see my other half and I'm now forcefully against the door that I had tried to leave out of. He's holding both my arms close to my side and I think I'm sweating from him being so damn close to him….
….Ah…..maybe he's a bit too closer than I thought he'd be…
"Ma-" I start to say his name and he silences me, his own lips touching in a silent plea almost. He's…..he's actually soft…I expected something more rough and I don't know… deadly from him… But this is fine with me….though….what about Bakura…? What will he say about this?! He pulls back a moment and dabs my lips once more, still holding me in place as he stops, nibbling a bit at my lower lip and smiling as he moves away, a few centimeters from my face as he softly (surprisingly) speaks out.
"First off, Bakura loves someone else. Second off, I don't love Bakura…" He captures my lips again shortly, "I love you."
"But Bakura and you….In Egypt-"
"In Egypt we were accomplices. That's all. We hardly even got along, I would steal things with him around, and always got him caught instead of me, but we did get used to it, a few times we did an 'I steal, you get caught' thing and he'd always end up being over dramatic."
I ignored his little story for the most part, the first sentence was all that interested me. "Do you mean it…? Do you actually l-"
He kissed me gently again, eyes glittering from the sun outside. "Hai, Aibou, I do."
I smiled faintly, a bit embarrassed. What my other (and now lover) doesn't realize, is half the people in the lobby are watching our little scene.
"So Bakura loves someone else…? Who?"
He wraps an arm around my waist, pulling me away from the doors towards the elevator in a slow pace. "I'm not sure, someone from Domino, because he left because of that. I don't plan on forcing anything out of him though, let him stay until he sorts things out." I gave a nod, a smile obviously plastered across my face as I stared at the closing elevator doors, feeling a tug and the chamber started to raise. I can handle Bakura, well….now that I know he's not here to steal Mariku from me.
Holding my last breath
Safe within myself
************
(Ryou)
I felt like this was some dream, a secret mission to bring back someone. Which it really is….but this isn't fantasy….It's real…. I feel so bad for Yami, but I know he doesn't want my pity. He was a pharaoh you have to remember, he wouldn't want the pity from others. All he wants is my yami, and I don't blame him.
But why did my yami have to leave so abruptly? He could of…..I don't know, at least if he left and kept our link open I would have been….happier. I guess. Ugh….too confusing, I just want him back and to be safe again. But even if Yami and I find him….what if he shuns away Yami? I mean, I never really thought about it. Then again, I never figured Yami would be in love with Bakura…..how they were clashing 24/7. Things can be surprising though.
"Yami, wake up, we're here," I gave the other in the train seat besides me a shook. We'd arrived an hour ahead of when we were supposed to, as the train had returned an earlier hour. Which was helpful because it gave us more time to search the town. Yami slumped off the train behind me and I sighed at his reaction. Neither one of us had any luggage, which was a good thing. All we had is a total of $50 between us. Should be enough, ne? I hope so.
We exited the station and I gave a wide stretch, looking behind at Yami who seemed in a bit of a….ah….trance. "Yami?" He blinked a few times, looking towards me and I sighed quietly. "Where do we start?"
"I…don't know…" Great.
************
(Yami)
I'm so confused…We've finally gotten to the city, town, whatever where Bakura is supposed to be and I can't even figure out what to do… So can you guess what I decided to do? No? Well, it doesn't actually matter. It's nothing daredevil like or anything.
All I got us to do is blindly wander around this place to just look. That's all it seemed we could do. And you know what? We searched the streets until seven o'clock at night. And we still came up with nothing……Bakura! Where are you….? Gods….this is seeming impossible!
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light, it ends here tonight
"Yami….?" I looked up at the other who seemed to be staring at his ring.
"What?"
"Do you know how to work this….?" I blink as he seemed to be referring to the Sennen Ring. "I can't figure how to get it to work…"
I suddenly turn to him, taking a deep breath. "We've been out here for hours, and just now you think about your ring….?"
"No…" I blink a bit and he shrugs a bit, glancing away. "I've been trying to figure out how Bakura always uses it….but I can't get it to work so I finally decided to ask you." How can he not know how to work his own Sennen Item…? Then again…I suppose it's not an easy task. For myself, Mariku and….Bakura (such a whisper in my mind) it's easy….but the hikaris? It's not like we've taught them.
"Focus on your yami's energy."
"But he blocked me out…"
"Then trace it off your memories of him," like I always do…
Ryou shifted uneasily it seemed, but gave a nod, closing his eyes in what I guess he was doing to pay more attention to his mind. I envy him…he has been the only one to be connected to Bakura, he's been able to be the closest anyone could ever be with Bakura's mind. That's what I want…I want to be part of his soul…
…If he ever lets me. And if we ever find him….
And if he doesn't kill me…
I'll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
************
(Bakura)
My mind was in a whirl of confusion since I've got here. Not only with the normal cries of Yami swirling in the pits, but with how Malik bit out and then leaving and Mariku flying (literally seemed that way) out the door. I don't understand what stirred between them both, but it's best that I don't get in the way.
The couch in their living room was comfortable, with a nice view of the slider and the outside world and porch I had been standing out of earlier. A good place to think….but one can't stand forever. Like being on a cliff side…you stand so long, yet you know you need to fall at some point.
I won't go that far. I forbid myself to run that much.
The door opened and Malik was the first one I saw, his other half following him in. I can't help but notice the wide smile across the shorter one's face. "We're back. Sorry I snapped at you earlier, Bakura." I blinked a bit and looked back and forth between the two and Mariku waves off my confusion before stretching his arms and folding them behind his head.
"So anyway…." the other started, I guess not really noticing I wasn't in the mood to talk. "We picked up a flier from the hallway.."
Malik held it out, the bright colors that radiated from it made my head threaten to spin free and off. How can anything seem so happy?
"The town's holding a carnival in two days, want to come with us?" Malik's voice was what broke me from my "cheerful" thoughts and I stared silently at him. I should go. Start off my new life here….I'm not in Domino anymore…I can't expect to see the one I love ever again….and that's the thought that shatters me again inside of my soul. A cry in my mind, but I somehow meekly manage a response to the awaiting Ishtars.
"Alright."
I know you hear me
I can taste it in your tears
************
(Ryou)
I can't believe it! I actually got the item to work! Or I hope it is anyway…I admit, when it was starting to get dark and I was still leading Yami through the streets, I was getting worried. Yami never said anything though and whenever I looked back at him, he was always deep in thought, confusion and a tinge of hope clouding over his eyes in a glazed look. Thinking of what to say to Bakura, no doubt.
For the second time I felt an aching feeling in my stomach that I hadn't gotten the ring to point out the right direction. I stopped walking when it pointed towards the doors of a decent size and nice looking building. Surely Bakura hadn't ended up here…? Where'd he get the money to rent an apartment? I had guessed he would have been in the streets…. I closed my eyes again, trying to sort through my thoughts as I still felt the ring wanting to pull me forward. Yami's stare was plastered soundlessly to me, questioning why I had stopped.
When I opened my eyes again, I gazed down at the Sennen item, believing that once I'd gone over all my memories and thoughts about Bakura that its direction would change. But no such change happened.
"Ryou?" Yami finally questioned me.
I shook my head and glanced back to toss a smile. "It's nothing, come on." He nodded and I pushed through the doors, looking around at the busy lobby and waiting for one of the feather shaped arrows to lift up and they pointed for an elevator. I searched for an alternate route and moved for the stairs as it would be easier for my item to direct where the room is that we wanted. The ring complied and lead our way up the flights of stairs and through a door to one of the floors, but I didn't pay attention to which.
Holding my last breath
The doors to the apartments were all rather spaced out, making what was behind them a good size. I still don't understand how Bakura made it into a place like this. But still no matter how many times I tried to correct myself, the ring continued to direct itself with a soft glow towards a door.
I finally turned to Yami, throwing a brief nod at the door. "This is it."
"It makes more sense for you to knock."
I nodded again, turning back to the door as I understood his logic. He couldn't hide it though, I knew he was too nervous to knock himself, let alone right away speak to Bakura. He must still not know what he would say.
Safe inside myself
I gave a soft knock on the door, hearing a short rustle and the clicking of a lock before it opened. I didn't expect to see who opened it.
Mariku's calm eyes looked out at us in surprise and then confusion. It's amazing how much he mellowed out over the years, almost like he was finally a serene human being. Everyone had known that Malik and Mariku had left Domino when the city had quieted down substantially. But never had anyone suspected that they had moved to a quiet place such as this. "Pharaoh….Ryou…" He muttered, still getting over his confusion. "Why are you both here?"
I glance at Yami and I swear he was like a balloon and someone took a pin to him, popping away his hope. Had…..Had I mistaken….? Had I misused the power of the ring? Did I actually track the Ishtars instead of my own darker side…?
"I-Is my yami here…?" My voice slipped out, shaken a bit more than I wanted to be noticed.
Mariku blinked again. "Uh, yeah, but he's in the shower… He's not really in a talking mood though, you may want to come back later…"
"Hey yami, who is it?" Malik popped up from a room and strode over to the open door that Mariku still held and Yami and I were still outside of it. "Ah! Hey, long time no see!" He seemed overly happy and the pit of my stomach returned. So Bakura was staying with them…? I glanced back at Yami nervously, but he was paling and looked like he was going to collapse. "Are you two vacationing together or something? Ha, some kind of long get-away-date?" Malik smirked and my eyes went wide, but I think he took them the wrong way. "So that's it, huh? You two are on a date!"
I was thrown off too much to tell Malik that we weren't on a date, but Yami seemed to finally stir his mind awake and try to speak. Try. "N-" His voice stopped dead when him, like myself, caught a new set of eyes from beyond the door. A glare so strong and dark with hatred all directed at me. I wanted to run from those eyes so badly.
Are all me thoughts of you
He had a towel around his neck, hair still wet and hanging over the towel and part of a dark gray t-shirt. He rotated around to face us, the glare holding strong and I felt Yami grasp a hand to my arm to keep from falling over in shock of its intensity.
He pushed passed Mariku and Malik and they backed away, a bit worried. "So," it was a cold voice that I had never heard him use before. "You two are….dating?"
"N-No, B-" Yami was cut off by my other half.
"Well, I don't see why you bothered to stop by this old wreck then. To tell us that you've proclaimed your love to each other? How sweet," something's not right…something's wrong with this…
Sweet raptured light it ends here tonight
"Bakura l-"
"Shut up, Pharaoh," Bakura snapped. This isn't good….this is going horrible, horrible. Bakura hasn't even let us say two words! We aren't dating! We came for him! "A happy relationship to you both, but I don't want to see either of your damned faces again!" He hissed and before Mariku seemed to try to stop him, slammed the door on us and locked it shut.
Closing your eyes to disappear
Yami finally couldn't help it and fell forward to his knees, a hand still weakly grasping my sleeve until that fell as well. "B-Bakura….." I looked down at the former Pharaoh who was shaking uncontrollably, trying his best not to lose himself in tears, though I saw that he was close. My eyes went back to the closed door and I sighed. Of course we wouldn't give up. We couldn't. I promised Yami I would help get Bakura back, and to me that means getting Yami hooked up with Bakura by whatever means necessary.
I grasped one of Yami's arms firmly and pulled him up, noticing he was completely at a loss as I pulled him from the door. We had to find a place to stay, a hotel or a motel or whatever there was. And we needed food. Those were our top priorities tonight and by the looks of things - I had to figure them out.
You pray your dreams will leave you here
As for Yami….
"Yami?"
"…….B-B……" Yami wouldn't be much of help anytime soon. Not until the sight of my other's death bringing gaze and words were cleared from his mind.
************
(Bakura)
So my dream was true. That dream I had on the train with the black stuffed rabbit…..It was true….Ryou hugging Yami in the train station really was apart of them dating….
And then they show up here?! Together?! How dare Ryou….my very own hikari….how dare he steal Yami away from me!
I leant over a near table, fists slamming against the wooden surface in weak anger. I heard one of the Ishtars walking in my direction, but I don't care to give them so much as a glimpse of notice. I clenched my eyes shut to try and hold back a wave of tears. Real tears. Of pain, or fear, of hate, and of plain deadpan misery. The whole reason I left Domino City was to get away from the person I cared more than anything for and he shows up at the place I ran to hide to with the light side of my mind, his date.
But still you wake and know the truth
"…Bakura…?" I think it's Malik who's speaking to me and I don't care, it doesn't matter who it is - I just don't care. "I-Is it the Pharaoh…you love….?"
The towel slid from my shoulders as I leant forward, holding so hard to the table for support as my tears betrayed my will to keep them behind the lids. They slowly, one after another plitted over the wood, making no real pattern with how they fell or landing. The only thing that could be seen by the two Ishtars, yami and hikari, was the pain that the wetness held.
No one's there
I knelt down, resting my head into folded arms that lay on the table over the traces of my tears. I was still crying, but it was starting to subside. Because there were no more that could fall. My life was going down the drain, but I still refused it. I still refused that urge to face the cliff in my mind and stop standing. I won't run. I won't fall….I can't.
As much as this hurts all over…
Say goodnight
Don't be afraid
Calling me calling me as you fade to black

I'm soooooo sorry how long that took! Finished typing at 2:59am! W00t! Then again, I started the chapter itself ages ago. But I typed three pages in one sitting XD A total of nine pages (using size 9, lol). Using size 12 there are thirteen pages ^^ Felt like a fricken' long song if you ask me oO;;
But I though it was a good chapter! Come on, you have to give me that much! Angst all around! Malik angst, Mariku panic moments, Yami angst, Ryou nervous-angst, and of course - Bakura angst!
You know what sucks? That stupid server thingy they're doing on FFN. July 19th……dammitttt!!! I want to post this!!!!!!!
*Pouts and then ponders what the hell she's going to do for the next chapter* The song and the plotline….oi…..I'll try not to take so long again….I have half a chapter done for "The Pain You Gave Me" and "If Only Tears Could Bring You Back to Me" the problem is that they're both handwritten (did it while on vacation/at volleyball camp), meaning I have to put it into the comp. And I have an idea of what I'm doing again in "Itsumademo Naito" so I need to start on that too…..
………….Oi.
………….NOW REVIEW!!!
Hiei: *Drags her out of the computer chair* You really should go to bed
You all must review!!
Yoh: Anou…..gomen nasai minna-san… *watches authoress be dragged forcefully to the bed with help from other muses* She's rather tired….it's late, you can't blame her.
Otogi: But if you do feel like blaming her sudden loudness fill out this 50 page report that's located in her office.
Bakura: *Yells from the bed, now sitting on the laying down authoress to keep her from the computer* I burnt those!
Otogi: Well, then I guess no one can complain.
Yami: Give us fanmail instead ^^
Shinkou: Oh yay…. *Ways flag, leaning in a corner of shadows.*
