Chapter 13

The roof made strange noises as it rained harder, it washed over the windows and the floor creeked. There was an awfull draft and the continuous sound of video games were heard everywhere. Ryu sighed as he striped down to his boxers. he was soaked to the bone. " Faust.." He sighed sadly.

** Ryu stood there as Faust kneeled on the floor looking up at him, tears ran down his soft face " Please Leave me be..."**

Ryu cried into his hands loudly. " I shouldn't... I shouldn't have left him there... I should have taken him with me..even if it was against his own will...he didn't..he shouldn...he never...OH GOD WHY!!!!! WHY DID YOU HAVE To DIE!!!!" He shouted loudly punching through one of the turned off glass monitors. He winced closing his eyes and crying softly once more as the blood ran down from his knuckles.

" and he never knew...he never knew the warmth in which I felt from inside..." Ryu whispered sounding as if he had recited a poem. He fell down onto the blanket feeling the cold wooden floor beneath it. He sat humming his motorcycle tune for a bit. The greif in his heart could not fade even for a second.

Tamao layed on the floor peering underneith the white cloth. *~ Why am I doing this..but I..I feel so jealous of Pirika-san... but..its so wrong of me..to do such a thing..*~ She thought as she watched Anna and Pirika engaging in intimacy. *~ I know what I am doing is wrong...but..I feel so angry.. how could she forget Yoh so fast.. how could she not want me..either..*~ Jeanne looked over at Tamao and frowned a bit " You shouldn't be doing that" She whispered sounding dignified. *~Like you could ever understand what I am going through Jeanne-san..*~ She thought as she stopped looking and crawled over to her bedroom in which she shared with Jeanne.

" I'm glad you made the right choice.." Jeanne whispered again smiling slightly.

Yoh slunk out of the bathroom and into the main bowling alley only to find Ryu resting on the fleece blanket and Manta no where in sight.

" Ryu-kun..have you seen Manta-chan?" Yoh asked quietly as he rubbed his eyes. Ryu shook his head then looked up at him slightly worried.

" I havn't I just got..home...." Ryu began to cry again.

" Ryu-kun..." Yoh cried a bit more and walked towards him leaning down to give him a hug.

" Who gives a shit that he was old!!!" Ryu cried.

" I know... it was unfair and made no sense...." Yoh sniffed feeling the warmth of Ryu. his hot tears landing on his soft brown hair.

Manta opened his eyes hearing soft sobs from another room. He winced and began to crawl again. The pain he had felt seemed to fade away a bit. He slowly felt his strength coming back to him.

" Manta-chan!" Ryu cried as he saw the small boy crawl towards the main room.

" There you are.." Yoh said softly feeling a large amount of guilt within him. " I'm so sorry.." He whispered closing his eyes. Then he opened them again only to look at Manta strangly.

" What is it Yoh-kun?" Manta asked sniffling pathetically.

" I don't know how to say this but..there are silver wings coming out of your back..." Yoh looked at him from a distance in shock.

" You are glowing..." Ryu said softly.

" Wha,...what....." Manta stood up examining himself.

The man stood there in frustration tears running down his blood stained cheeks. He couldn't grasp what had just happened to him or why he was alone now.. he had thought and felt with all his heart that he would be gone..forever. He walked weakly down the streets in search for anything. The cold wet road gave him no peace.
