Four of My Immortal

What Happened?

I purposely made this chapter a little confusing. My beta (Veena) asked what Bakura did. The next chapter will help.


Ryou's POV:

Everyone was happy for us when they found out.

Bakura smiles a lot more now. I never realized how beautiful a person's smile could be.

But, of course, like all happy endings, this one is not so happy.


Bakura's POV:

I came home that day, whistling cheerfully. I dumped the groceries that I had picked up on the counter – Ryou had given me a list earlier. "Ry?" I said into the apartment.

No answer.

Worriedly, I tried over our mental link.

((Ry?))

Silence.

((Ryou? Ry, where are you?))

Still no answer.

I searched the apartment from top to bottom until I reached our room. Fearing the worse, I opened the door slowly.

But he wasn't there.

I cleaned the room, hoping to find any trace.

Nothing.

There was nothing.

Yes, all of his possessions were still there, but nothing from him.

Then, suddenly, I was compelled to open the CD player.

I will never forget that moment.

For when I opened it, I saw three things: I saw Evanescence's CD Fallen, Ryou's half of the Millennium Ring and a note.

(an: I dunno how big the Millennium Ring really is, but go with me on it! Be imaginative.)

I froze.

Slowly I picked up his copy of the Millennium Ring.

I then picked up the note. In big, bold, cutout letters from a newspaper, it clearly stated:

YOU BITCH. (Veena: LMFAO! OH GOD, THAT'S HILARIOUS! I SO DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!)

HOW DARE YOU.

I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO THIS TO ME.

GO CRAWL IN A HOLE AND DIE, YOU BASTARD.

I HOPE PAIN GOES THROUGH YOU AS IT WENT THROUGH ME.

I HATE YOU.

I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN, LET ALONE TALK TO YOU.

My heart caught in my throat as I stared at the letter. Tears threatened to fall but I kept them back.

The door to the apartment opened, and I heard a familiar voice call me. "Yo Soul Stealer! Stop making out with poor Ryou and c' mere!"

I stood stock-still.

"Geez, you'd think your best friend would listen to you." Malik put his head inside the door. One look at me and he was instantly at my side. "Bakura, what happened?" he said, alarmed. I wordlessly handed him the note. "Holy shit…" muttered Malik. "Bakura…" I tapped him and handed him the Millennium Ring. He looked confused, but then understood. He looked shocked. "Oh… Bakura… I'm so sorry…"

I sat on my bed, still silently. Malik went over the notes once, twice, three times, and shook his head.

"I can't believe this… this isn't like him… did anything happen between you two?" I shook my head. "He loves you… or at least he did…" He muttered the last bit. "What could have happened?"

At that time, I would have given almost everything to know the answer.
