Wounded Angel

Chapter 5- Broken

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away

(Kaiba's P.O.V)

You turn and look at me, eyes full of confusion. Then you turn back and look at the sky. A smile comes to your face. "Ryorin!" I dart out and tackle you to the side.

I keep tour photograph I know it serves me well

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

"Ryorin!" I shake you. "Why are you doing this to yourself?! Tell me!" To my surprise, you start crying. You never cry. You refuse to project emotions. Instead, you hide them and they freeze your heart.

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

I realize now that to melt the ice in you, you have to let out your emotions. I hug you as you cry. Hurt, anger and pain flows out.

You've gone away

You don't feel me here anymore

I caress your cheek with one finger. "Ryorin, I understand how you feel. Please, let me share this pain with you." You look up at my words. For the first time, I see your eyes free of the hurt.

The worst is over now and we can breathe again

I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away

(Ryorin's P.O.V)

I whirl around just as you call my name. Why do I care? I want to be free. I turn back but the next thing I know, something crashes into me, throwing me to the side of the roof. A second later, I'm in your arms.

There's so much left to learn and no one left to fight

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

I break down and start to cry. You comfort me, saying that you wish to share my pain. Immediately, I feel the black walls around my heart crumble.

'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

The darkness is over. Chains have fallen and wounds have healed. I can spread my wings and fly. I have found peace and freedom at last, here, in your arms, Kaiba.

You've gone away

You don't feel me here anymore

(Normal P.O.V)

Kaiba smiled gently at Ryorin. She had fallen asleep in his arms. He had done it. He had freed her from her ice chamber. She was free. Free from pain and hurt. All because of him.

The sun was about to set. Kaiba kissed her forehead. "Ryorin..." " Mm?" Ryorin stirred. He smiled. "I love you." Much to his surprise, she smiled warmly back and said, "I know, Seto. I love you too."

Ryorin: 7.00 p.m. exactly. BBQ time!

Ruka: Woo! I want okonomiyaki!

Ryorin: Coming up! Readers are all invited!
