Yami Adritha: Hey! I'm back with chapter 2! This will be similar to chapter 1, but this time it's in Seto's point of view! So enjoy!

Again, I own squat! If I owned Yu-Gi-Oh, Tea would have died back in Duelist Kingdom! (Sorry Tea fans…)

Falling Ch. 2

Seto P.O.V.

I'll never forget that day. That day, everything changed. Even though it was a year ago, to me, it still feels like yesterday…

From the shadows of an alleyway I watched the two leave the movie theater. It was raining, but I didn't care; I had more important things on my mind. I followed them as they cut through the park. I watched them stop when a loud BANG echoed through the night. The reality of what had just happened hit me as I saw those crimson eyes grow wide in fear. Thinking fast, I contacted emergency services. Once that was done, I rushed out of hiding, and to the boys' side.

The sight that met my eyes was horrifying. There was Yugi, covered in blood, lying on the wet sidewalk. Yami was at his side, trying to convince both of them that everything would be all right. When the dark spirit looked at me, I saw the fear in his usually confident eyes. I hated seeing him like that; it broke my heart. I tried to make him feel better by muttering to him "I've already called an ambulance." Yami looked almost confused at this. Oh, how I long to tell him what I've been feeling ever since the Battle City Tournament ended. 'But now is not the right time.' I told myself. 'No. You should have told him two days ago after school! That was the perfect opporitunity!' Sirens filled the air as the ambulance turned the corner, nearing its destination. I remember the doctors telling Yami that there was no room in the ambulance, so I offered to give him a ride to the hospital. He accepted without a second thought.

On the drive over, my mind was racing, almost as if two voices were arguing.

'Oh no. Yugi's been shot.'

'What luck! Yami's here with me!'

'What will happen if Yugi dies?'

'I would actually spend time with Yami! He will be mine!'

'But he loves Yugi! Don't be selfish!'

Before long, we arrived at the hospital. As soon as the car came to a halt, Yami dashed inside, desperate to see his hikari. 'There's loyalty for you.' I tell myself as I ran to catch up with the spirit. Once we were settled in the waiting room, all we could do was wait. Wait for the news of Yugi's fate. Half of me wanted Yugi to die, and leave Yami for myself; but the other half couldn't bear to see Yami unhappy. After only a few minutes (but I swear they felt like hours!) a doctor entered, and called Yami's name. The moment of truth. Yami began by asking "Is Yugi going to be O.K.?" I could tell he was about to loose it. That worried look in his eyes told me so. The doctor looked down at the floor as Yami waited with baited breath. If being CEO of a major corperation has taught me one thing, it was how to read facial expressions. I mentally laughed at my thought just then. Watching someone trying to talk their way out of a bad situation was amusing to me; their faces would turn from fake confidence to one that held the fear of losing their job. I was brought out of my daydreams when the harsh reality of what had happened earlier that night came crashing down.

"… lost too much blood…"

"… ripped the side of his heart…"

"… pneumonia might have set in due to rain…"

"… five minutes ago…"

"…Sorry."

As the doctor left, I took Yami into a small side room, where we could be alone. I sat him down on one of the sofas, before closing the door and taking a seat next to him. What he did next was a total shock to me; He buried his face in my shoulder and cried. I was stunned. Yami, the only one to ever defeat me in Duel Monsters; the King of Games, crying? 'I don't blame him. He just lost someone really close to him.' I thought, as I put my arms around him, trying my best to comfort him. Sympathy has never been one of my better qualities.

Yami fell asleep after about fifteen minutes. I watched him sleep; he seemed so peaceful, yet so tormented. I brushed a few of his blonde bangs out of his face, revealing the stains the tears had made on his face. I didn't know what to think anymore. The voices in my head were still arguing…

"Yes! Yami can be mine now!"

"Shut up! Do you not see how much pain this has caused him?"

I shook my head violently. I didn't need thoughts like that now. Once again, it wasn't the right time and place. One thought, however, was appropriate: "I need to stay by his side. He needs someone here with him."

When Yami woke up, I wanted to say something comforting, something to maybe make him feel better. No, all I said was "You fell asleep." He nodded, acknowledging my statement. "So," I began, "Are you going to go after the bastards that did this?" Again, he nodded "Of course I am." Anger began to build in his gaze. Something tells me he'll want revenge; and soon. He then stood up and began to walk out of the room. "Wait!" I called, standing up, ready to go after him. "Where are you going?" He turned, his crimson eyes staring right back at me. "I'm getting revenge." He answered as he left. 'Guess I was right in him wanting revenge; but doesn't we want help? Doesn't he want someone there with him?'

That was a year ago. Yet, I still can't get that image of Yami, asleep in my arms, out of my mind. I want to help him, to be by his side, to comfort him when he needed it. Unfortunately, no one has heard from him or seen him since that night at the hospital. Every day I think 'I should have stopped him from leaving. I should have told him then.' But I can't live in the past. I have a company to run. Still… I wish he could come back, or at least give us some sort of sign that he is still alive. This anxiety has lead me to make one decision; Next time I see him, I need to tell him the real reason why I was there that night. Next time I see him, I'm not letting him go…

Yami Adritha: Ok, second chapter is done! Review please! The next chapter might be the last one, unless that is, you (the readers) want more…
