AN: Okay, Yami is not dead! Yet. I hope this chapter clears that up. Last chapter, Yami was alive and Yugi was becoming a vampire. Just clearing that up. By the way, this is the last chapter, but I will be posting the alternative story line and the side chapter to chapter 6. You can stick around for that if you want.

Chapter 13: As Of Now B

Name: Kaiba Seto

Begin Entry

I'm sorry about the delay, Mokuba. It's taken me a while to find everyone and put this together, you know how busy things always are at Kaiba Corp. Besides, Bakura took forever to track down. All the personal information I've included about the writers is accurate to the extent of my knowledge.

Other than that, I suppose there isn't much more to say.

True to his word, Bakura's e-mail was sent from an Internet café. He wasn't in the surrounding area when I looked for him, either. He hasn't contacted me since the previous e-mail, but I didn't really think he would. He isn't the type to take lightly, so his threat was probably more of a promise.

Honda has since sent me an e-mail, but it had no bearing on the battle you were interested in. Going a little off-topic, Honda is currently living in the United States because, after the battle, he was found guilty of murdering Otogi. I'm under the impression that Honda still believes that Otogi is alive. Perhaps he was mentally incapable of believing that he killed his lover. It's almost sad that such a methodical mind is wasted to that pathetic delusion. Of course, it's best for Honda to remain in the states. His self-imposed exile is actually keeping him alive. Really; seven million for Honda, dead or alive? It's lucky for him that I don't need money.

Jou's glaring at me for my black humor, so I'll move on.

As you know, Yugi was changed to a vampire after the battle. I was rather shocked to hear that Yami has since died. According to Yugi, it was roughly seven years ago. The poor bastard died in a freak accident, but that's all Yugi would say. Oddly enough, Bakura knew of Yami's death, so I'm forced to wonder exactly how 'freak' Yami's accident was.

I've decided that it's rather pathetic how out of the loop we all are. However, Yugi assures me that most vampires that participated in the battle have since become reclusive, like Jou, you and I have. I suppose that, with such a high mortality rate related to such a small event, isolation is normal.

In other news, a boy named Noa has taken over since Yami's death. Interestingly enough, he's a young vampire with immense powers. Yugi says he might even be a challenge for me. I doubt it.

Oh… before I forget, I do have the directions to Ryou's grave that Bakura included, but I decided to omit them from this transcript, because the extra files take up too much memory. If you'd like a copy or wish to visit your friend, tell me and we can discuss it in more detail.

But that'll have to wait until at least tomorrow. Jou and I are going out to dinner tonight. It's our anniversary, in case you forgot; I almost did. That means you're on your own for dinner tonight. Try not to burn our home to the ground. See you later.
