You Always Said You'd Say Goodbye

Silently Broken

Animechik, thanks for your idea! Here is your chapter! I'm going to put in a little adjustments though, I hope you don't mind!

As Isis sat on her bed looking at her millennium torque. It was trying to tell her something, however, she didn't know what.

Closing her eyes, she focused on the millennium item and waited. Then, she realized what it was and ran in a full sprint to Ryou's house.

"Malik! Get your yami and Rishid in here! And Ryou! Get out all your millennium items and put them on the table! I have to get Yugi and the rest of them!" Then she dashed away.

Malik and Ryou looked at each other confused. Malik only shrugged his soldiers and placed his millennium rod on the coffee table. After that, he went to the phone to call up his brother and yami. Ryou hesitated and ran upstairs. When he came down, he had in his hand the millennium eye. Then, with shaking hands, he took off his millennium ring and placed it gently on the table with new tears forming in his eyes.

When Isis returned, she had brought yugi, yami, Honda, Jounouci, Anzu, seto, and mokuba with her. Isis focused on item, and suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, Shadi appeared.

"Now", Isis said, "gather around. I have an important announcement to make." She then began to tell them about the Third World she had found out about.

(Isis explaining)

The First World is us, here, living. The Second World is the split second between life and death, and when you die know that the second you die you will have passed the second world. Then the Third World is a place in between where restless souls go. It is different for everyone, but always a maze of passages and rooms. Some souls pass right through to the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Worlds, which are Heaven, Hell and Nothingness, but some stay in the Third World, always alone.

There is a place in the corner of the Third World where restless souls can be sent to the other three remaining worlds, a great portal of light, which chooses where a soul must go.


A living person can travel there, but they must have the powers Millennium items, their wielders and must be so consumed by either grief or anger or sadness.

"Ryou", she said turning to him, "Bakura is trapped in the third world and unable to move on due to the grief within his heart."

Ryou stared at her and, with tears in his eye, "What can I do?"

Isis answered mysteriously, "You must travel there to rid him of his maddening grief. Only then can he pass on." Her eyes opened a little wider, and warned, "But you mustn't make him stay! He isn't allowed! He must pass on to the other realms. You also must have no regret for him, otherwise both of you will remain in the third real for all of eternity, separated, yet together! If you go, please Ryou, don't wish for him back!"

Nodding, Ryou agreed, "I will go with no regret for him in my heart. "

Isis let out a relived sigh and motioned for all to stand. "Now place your items on the table in a circle and wielders, please stand behind them."

"Um, Isis, some of us don't have items", said Jou sheepishly. "Then stand in between the wielders." Snapped Isis impatiently. "Isis!" complained Malik, "I am the wielder of the rod, why is Seto standing there?!"

"He was the original owner, now stand behind him!" said an extremely aggravated Isis. "Wow", thought Malik, "She has quite a temper."

"Ryou", called Isis. "Yes?", whispered Ryou softly. "I need you to face the other direction, out of the circle." When Ryou obeyed, she told everyone to focus their energy on Ryou. Suddenly, Ryou lost all power of his body and felt like he was falling, and falling and falling, while in the distance his real body collapsed. He could also hear the others calling his name, but it sounded like a whisper to him, in a dream that he didn't want to wake up from.

Finally, he presently came to a stop and landed on his feet. Hearing a soft sniffling in the corner, he turned around. The person's back was turned to him. The said person wore a gray blanket over itself, and clutching it as if to keep out the bitterest cold. The sound broke Ryou's heart and he gently touched the person shoulder. The person flinched and slowly looked up. Time seemed to stop, as Ryou looked upon the face, filled with tears and deathly pale. He remembered seeing that same pale face filled with laughter and color. The face he always saw in his dreams. Then, he said the words that broke the deathly silence.

"Bakura…"
