Chibi B: Hi everyone! waves Er, this is a fic I've had my mind on for a while, and didn't even know I typed it up…o.O; I just, found it today actually. I think I wrote it when I was half asleep a few weeks ago. Hehe…

Taski: Freak.

Chibi B: Yes, yes, I know. Anywho, it's set after Malik leaves on his nifty looking boat with Rishid and Isis. And it's in Ryou's POV. Oh! And it's not yaoi…

Taski: Boooo!

Chibi B: Yeah, sorry, but, I dunno…just…no yaoiness in this fic, maybe the next?

WHICH reminds me. You all seemed to like that fic dedicated to Cecilia a lot, and wanted a sequel, well, I'm working on it…and it'll be dedicated to her as well ::waves:: Feel the lurv! XD

Okies! Without further delaying, here's the random, short, crappy, weirdo fic! Enjoy!

-------

You left me there…

All alone, and you just walked past me, as if I didn't exist, as if I were some ghost just standing there on the pier watching all of you. As if I was nothing at all…

It hurt, you know, watching as one by one you left. First Otogi, then Mai, then Honda and Anzu, leaving you and Jounouchi behind. And after each person left, you said goodbye.

Except for me.

You just walked off, without even one glance in my direction, laughing and joking with Jounouchi as you made your way down the street, completely forgetting about me, abandoning me.

I stood there watching until you disappeared from my view, and wanted so badly to just cry. I wanted to scream, and shout, 'I'm here! I'm here! Can't you see me?'. But I knew it would be in vain.

Deep down inside I had known all along that I could never truly be friends with you. But I still had some small hope left that I would be recognized and accepted for who I was.

Now I knew that I shouldn't have fooled myself. I should have known I'd never have anyone close in my life again. After all, how could someone trust a person harboring an evil spirit inside them?

…

Nobody could.

And with that thought, the last shining ray of hope I had left, died, along with the tears that had been trailing steadily down my face since your desertion.

I turned around and took one long last glance around the harbor, and found myself surprisingly at peace.

I was destined to be alone, and found that accepting the truth was so much easier than denying it any longer.

A small breeze blew by, causing me to shiver. I thrust my hands in my pockets a small, sad smile on my face as I turned and started my way back to my empty house.

I thought at least you would have understood, Yugi. You had your own spirit living in you as well. But I was once again proven wrong. After all, my spirit was evil, while yours was good. My spirit hated me with an uncontrolled passion, and yet yours loves you beyond all reason.

Stepping into my house, I slipped off my shoes and wandered into the living room.

"I'm home." I whispered, then smiled and found myself for the first time actually happy at the silence that greeted my return.

After all, the silence was the only thing I had left now…

Chibi B: Yeah, I know. Short and made no sense…Blame it on lack of sleep…XD But, I don't know if I was the only one who thought of Ryou feeling that way after Battle City. I mean, did you notice how NOBODY said goodbye to him or anything? I almost cried! He just stood there, off to the side…and it made me sad…Also got my brain working

Taski: A miracle!

Chibi B: Yep! I know. Anywho, it's late, and I have school tomorrow….So, good night everyone! waves
