Thank you to all who reviewed!!!
Review responses will be posted in the 9th chappie, which I'm still working on. So this chapter actually isn't the ninth chappie, just a little song-ficcy insert thing that I thought up the other night. I suppose it explains why what happens in the 9th chappie happens.
Lyrics are to Norah Jones "Humble Me"
I think this is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
This chapter is dedicated to Rian and Michael, for showing me life is worth living, and for bringing me out of the darkness last year. Thank you so much, guys.
A/N: this is all Yugi's POV.
Went out on a limb
Gone too far
Broken down at the side of the road
Stranded on the outskirts and sun's creepin' up
I cant sleep. Correction, I don't want to sleep. I don't want to have another nightmare. So I sit here, staring out the window at the night sky, the stars sparkling in the deep velvet.
I have my bandages removed tomorrow. Urgh, I don't even want to think about it. The doctor's already told me I'll have scars. I'll have to figure out a way to get Yami out of the room. I cant let him see me like that.
Baby's in the backseat
Still fast asleep
Dreamin' of better days
I don't want to call you but you're all I have to turn to
Yami.
Gods, I love him so much. As the moonlight falls across his sleeping face, it hits me just how beautiful he is.
I know he blames himself for what happened. He thinks that as he rejected that bitch it's his fault that she went crazy and attacked me.
What do you say
When its all gone away?
Baby I didn't mean to hurt you
Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart
No matter how hard you resist it
It never rains when you want it to
Gods, Yami, i'm so sorry for making you feel like that. Really, it was my fault. If I had just kept quiet about those guy's……
But then I never would of admitted to loving you……
You humble me Lord
Humble me Lord
I'm on my knees empty
You humble me Lord
Humble me Lord
So please, please, please forgive me
I would of given up on life a long time ago if it wasn't for him. When everyone deserted me, he was always there. Always.
But since the……incident, I feel so cut off, from everyone and everything. Even Yami.
Baby Teresa got your eyes
I see you all the time
When she asks about her daddy
I never know what to say
Heard you kicked the bottle
And helped to build the church
You carry an honest wage
Is it true you have somebody keeping you company?
Ryou came to see me yesterday. That's when I found out that it was actually Bakura that sent her to the shadow realm.
I'm glad those two got together, as I can see that they really love each other. You wouldn't think it if you looked at them, really, as Bakura is usually sulking about something or seriously pissed off, and Rou is very laid-back and quiet.
I'm happy for them.
What do you say
When its all gone away?
Baby I didn't mean to hurt you
Truth spoke in whispers will tear you apart
No matter how hard you resist it
It never rains when you want it to
I don't blame Yami though, for not sending her to the shadow realm. He was trying to put the flames out, after all.
Flames. I don't think I will ever be able to see fire again without being taken back to that night.
It was truly the worst night of my life. Apart from the physical agony of burning alive, I felt Yami's helplessness. That itself was worse than the fire. I had caused my beautiful darkness so much emotional pain.
You humble me Lord
Humble me Lord
I'm on my knees empty
You humble me Lord
Humble me Lord
So please, please, please forgive me
You humble me………
I'm so sorry Yami, for everything.
RR please, and if anyone even thinks of flaming, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!
