A Cut

Disclaimer: Don't own yugioh. This is for you Kiyoshi - Wheeler! And the next 6 Chapters. And then Chapter 7 will be Dagger Maxwell and Yugi! Or maybe sooner, I don't know.

Jou's POV

Serenity had always loved pink. Now she would never see it again. And it was all his fault. If only he hadn't taken her to that carnival. If only it hadn't started raining. If only he hadn't taken her down that ally way so she wouldn't catch a cold. If only those thugs didn't have a grudge that they needed to settle with him. If only, if only, if only….

Sigh. There was no way to turn back time. If there were, he would be there in a flash. It was all his fault that his sister was in critical condition. It was his fault that she was in a coma and had a pretty slim chance of waking up. It was his fault that if she did wake up, she probably wouldn't be able to see. It probably severed me right that my mother started ranting about how I was a bad influence, about how she was glad that she took Serenity away, and how I would turn into my dad. It probably serves me right for what I am about to do, also.

The blade I'm holding is sharp and rusted. I could easily use one of my father's better knives, but that would be too good for the crime I caused. I took on those thugs and didn't even notice that my sister was being beaten up bad by other thugs. I didn't notice till after they were all gone and when I called my sister, she didn't answer and was bleeding all over. The hospital bathroom and knives would have been too good for me as well, right after I found out what unfortunate fate that awaited my sister when she wakes up. If she ever does. That's why I'm in my father's apartment bathroom with his trashed knives. Ok. This is it. I should do it over the sink. I don't want to taint anything with my awful presence before I leave. The cuts hurt but when I dig deeper with the knife, they become numb. Good, I'm loosing a lot of blood. Soon, I will join my sister and apologize. Did I mention that this happened 6 months ago and if she won't wake up, their going to pull the plug? In one hour they will so that other people can have the machine to live. Oh, I think I'm done. Wait, I need to clean before I leave. Don't want to make any messes with my on holy presence. The water running makes me think of a rhyme.

A cut drips red blood into the sink.

Mix it with fresh running water…..

and you have a pretty pale hue of pink.

Everything's going black now. Good bye world. Soon I will join my sister….

And this happened 45 minutes before 9 o'clock, just 10 minutes before Serenity Wheeler awoke from her coma, on her way for a full recovery, eyesight and all.

I think that was better than the other one! Oh well! Please review and happy reading!
