A/N: Last chapter of *THIS* part of the series, people. ^^; I know you're gonna kill me for how it ends, and I know that doesn't seem like an ending, but...It *IS* an ending. Until the sequel 'Kiss Daddy Goodnight' comes out, you people are gonna have to deal with this. First part is in Weira's P.O.V, second is in Weevil's. Thanks all, I love all of you for reading, and reviewing. Please enjoy the final chapter of My Shadow In The Dark.
Sometimes a person isn't who they seem. "I'm Weevil Underwood, Insect Duelist Extraordinaire!" And even if they are.
Everyone has dark secrets.

I kneeled down at my bed, hearing Rex and Weevil talking from not too far off. Grabbing the cross from under my pillow, a took a deep breathe, and shoved it in my pocket.
I can't believe I'm doing this. Kami-Sama, have mercy. I know this isn't the right thing to do, but it's the only thing I haven't tried to get Weevil's attention. Picking up the pen form the floor, I began to write on the white-lined piece of paper which all ready lied on my bible on the bed.
I really couldn't think of what to write. I drew and blank, and sat there for five minutes, blinking stupidly at the window. I watched as a bird flew passed the window freely.
Freedom. That was what I so craved. It seemed so far away, and yet at the same time, so close to me. Something I could stretch my arm out at, but never ever reach.
I just wanted to be happy again. Maybe, if nothing else, this will give him a hint. I looked at the mass of blankets tied-together to create a rope. How Cliche.
Shaking my head, I finished the letter, and signed it, laying it softly on the bible. Getting up, I tossed the backpack over my shoulder, tied the blanket to one of the legs of the bed that was against the window-wall, and cautiously crept onto the bed, pulling the window and screen open.
I really hadn't noticed how long a fall it was from my bedroom window to the ground.
Ignoring the sinking feeling in my stomach, I pushed the other end of the rope out the window, then quickly and quietly removed the window and screen from the window, so that it was open enough for me to crouch out of. It was pretty dark outside; I guessed even if Weevil came in while I was coming down he wouldn't be able to see me.
Placing the glass and screen on my bed, I crouched out on the window sill, considering whether this was really worth it.
Giving one final glance to the bedroom, I sat on the windowsill, turned myself onto my stomach, and gave the blanket-rope one hard tug to make sure it was stable.
And it was.
Slowly, I stuck my footing on the brick wall, and clenched the blanket tightly between my fingers, looking down. I felt like I was climbing a mountain. It was high, and nerve-wrecking, considering as a mountain climber, I had no harnass. Hearing the loud clank of the wood pressing against the wall because of my weight, I took and deep breathe and slowly began down.
Woah. This is actually pretty cool if I don't look down. I can tell I'm atleast halfway down somehow, and my footing starts to become softer. Relieveing. I actually escaped.
Hearing a loud crash directly underneath me, I lost my grip and my footing, squeaking.
Closing my eyes, I gasped sharply as I fell into someone's arms. The person stumbled backward, and a felt a couple things fall out of my pocket at the edge of the alley.
I couldn't make out his face until then, actually. And at then, I wished we had stayed in the dark. "NO WAY!"
~
Sighing, I sat down on the sofa next to Rex. Next to him was Jaseiko, (Whom he had his arm around, by the way!) who was next to Ryuna. Damn him purposely squishing Ryuna as far away from me as possible. Reaching forward for the remote, he began flipping through the channels, until something caught my eye. "Rex, go back to 34."
He did as I told him to, raising an eyebrow at me until he saw what had caught my attention.
I leaned forward, staring attentively at the newscaster.
"Again, a strong warning to any citizens of Domino City, Japan. Worster Underwood, former C.E.O of Kaenoc Industries, who was sentenced to live in jail on multiple charges, including multiple counts of child abuse, participating in cult-like activities, multiple counts of risk of injury to a minor, and even sagitory rape, has escaped the Maximum-Security Kuruijini Facility for the Criminally Dangerous, and is considered extremely dangerous. Police have received hints of a dark, jail-dressed man lurking around the Rouge Parlor District, that is, the area containing Domino Park, Devlin Corp, Kaiba Corp, and smaller businesses, such as Domino Automotive, Rikki's Authentic American Seafood restaraunt, Chateau Le Noir, and the Kame Game Shop, home of Duelist Kingdom first prize contendant from 4 years ago, Yugi Mutou."
Me and Rex extended wide, nervous glances, and turned back to eachother, for further info.
"According to inmates, he threatened to go back to one of the areas in the Rouge Parlor district and kidnap his children, Weevil Underwood, 16, and Weira Underwood, 12, who were adopted by a friend of their's Grandfather, the same person who adopted Ryou Bakura, 20, when his Father turned himself into the police, pleading insanity, and was locked away in the Domino City Hospital for the Criminally Insane, as well as Rex Raptor, 18, whose parents were shot dead after attempting to kill him, and Worster's own son, Weevil Underwood."
The coverage continued for a long time, but I think me and Rex just sat in awe for a while. I instantly sat up, my eyes widening. "We gotta get outta here!"
"I'll call Ryou to meet us at the Tenshi-Gami hotel in downtown," Rex ran off for the phone, and to tell Yugi and Mr. Mutou, and I shot up to Weira room.
Pushing the door open, I stared around, suddenly feeling a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. "Wei?" I walked over to her bed and kneeled down, grabbing the piece of paper from the bible.
Reading it, my eyes widened, and I stared out the window, scanning the alley frantically. Once my eyes had adjusted to the darkness, I was able to make out a hunk of junk by the street light of the alley, slightly glistening in the light.
There was some money, a small piece of paper, a locket, a cross, and...
No...I-It couldn't be! IT JUST COULDN'T! SHE'D NEVER GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT THAT!
"INSECT QUEEN!"
~
Weevil, Rex, Ryou & Yugi: *Bow* The end.
Rika: oo; Dun hurt me. I *HAD* to end it like this, because...I did. I promise to post 'Kiss Daddy Goodnight' up asap, so I don't get beated up. Note that KDG takes play *SIX* years after MSITD. Six years...Woah...Long time. xx;
Be prepared for a real roller coaster of emotion, pain, sorrow, and even, the death of someone we hold dear to our reality. More dramatic, tearjerking, and kawai than before.
I thank you all for your reviews. I just want you to know I appreciate every one of you, and love all of you dearly. ^^;
See you soon, people. I hope you enjoyed MSITD. u.u;
