.: Chapter 11: Sing alongs :.

It's was around six when Anzu got to the game store, everyone was there. She stood outside, all her friends never notice she was out there. Anzu was about to reach for the door, but suddenly stopped and ran back to the truck. Bakura and Ryou were puzzled, why she do that. Anzu silently sat in the passsenger seat, trying hard not to cry. "What's wrong?" asked Ryou, tears came flowing down from her eyes. "I can't... Let just leave," she suggested, Bakura watched the tears flow down her eyes. "Are you sure?" Anzu just nodded, she couldn't bring herself to say goodbye. After a few moments of the awkward silence, Bakura started up the truck and headed off.

Anzu couldn't believe herself, she felt so ashamed for leaving without a 'good bye' or 'I'll miss you' kinda thing. Ryou was sitting in the behind them; thinking of some way to cheer Anzu up. "Onii-chan?" whispered Ryou, Bakura only mumbled as a reply; he was too busy driving to look back. "Can you put in the CD I listen too," asked Ryou, Bakura smiled and insterded to CD; he knew what Ryou was planning. Anzu was puzzled, what were they planning. Then Anzu started to hearing the band 'Eels - Novocaine for the soul'.

*Life is hard and so am I

you better give me something

so I dont die

Novocaine for the soul

before I sputter out

Life is white and I am black

Jesus and his lawyer

are coming back

Oh my darling will you be here

before I sputter out

Guess who's living here

with the great undead

this paint by number's life is fucking with my head

once again

Life is good and I feel great

'cause mother says I was

a great mistake

Novocaine for the soul

you better give me something

to fill the hole

before I sputter out (repeat)*

Ryou was singing alone and Anzu listened to the lyrics; the tune was happy and cheerful. But it was kinda depressing - but the tune made her feel better. Soon enough, she was singing alone too. Bakura was getting annoyed, he didn't like emo music; a smerk came across his face. While keeping his eyes on the road, he felt around for one of his CDs. He found it (don't ask how) and insterded it in. Bakura slowly turned up the volume.

*Always it's coming

And here starts the game

Why can't this puzzle be solved?

Each time it happens it's always the same

I look down and it starts to fall

And all I see

It burns my eyes

Burning all inside

Caught in the corners of my mind

Beginning over one more time

Taking me over

Taking all that's mine

One more time

Always this teasing

Sometimes I lose faith

Where is my strength to hold on?

Facing existence

How can I relate?

Do I stand still or move on?

And all I see

It burns my eyes

Burning all inside

Caught in the corners of my mind

Beginning over one more time

Taking me over

Taking all that's mine

One more time

Falling through this space and time

Buried in this hurt of mine

Falling slowly like a dream

Falling through a world unseen

Why can I not break this spell?

I'm in darkness

Is this hell?

Falling towards this hole I see

This is how it has to be

Caught in the corners of my mind

Beginning over one more time

Taking me over

Taking all that's mine

One more time

One more time*

Bakura was singing alone, this was the first time Anzu hear any Korn songs. "Is this Korn?" yelled Anzu, the music was loud. "Yup! This song called 'One more time'," yelled Bakura back. Anzu figure that this trip was going to be long.
