Chapter twenty five, wow! I hope people are still reading this! This poem is about Ryou killing Yami, and Bakura has some thoughts about it after saying some things about death. I'm in a really angsty mood today, because my birthday is in less than nine days, on the eleventh of March, and I do not want to be a teenager! Being a kid is good. Oh well, I'll deal. I don't own YuGiOh, read on!

Maybe soon, a time shall come when I no longer fear this death.

And maybe then, my time shall come and I shall cease my dying breath.

Frozen in this life I have no hope left in my heart to carry me.

Worry no, for living a living death was always my destiny.

Oh kill me please, and take me quick, Hikari dear, I ask you now,

To take my cursed death away, and make me rest in peace somehow.

Alas, your arms are far too weak, and they drop the blood stained knife you hold.

And now as you lie shaking there, you tell me things you've never told.

Like how you miss your sister dear and how you care about me so,

How much you hated Marik for separating us, and hated the pharaoh,

For doing what he did to my poor village all those long years passed.

But I never told you it wasn't him, so you hated him, but I hold you fast.

I know you hated Yami, because of my village, and my terrible pain,

But that doesn't mean, my light, the sacrifice was so in vain,

For thanks to his father (not him, I was wrong) we found each other in this life,

You taught me how to live again, when my life lay upon my knife.

For my people were just slaughtered so to create the Millennium curses,

And while all the people around you are carted off in screaming hearses,

I stand strong, I am alive, the Ring, it binds me to your soul.

So if they had never died, we wouldn't have met, and my heart would not be what you stole.

So my fair light, I forgive you, for killing Yami, the other night,

Just hold me now, stay close to me; I'll make sure it will all be alright.

The others never thought you could ever murder without my guide,

And I regret that on that night, I was not standing by your side,

To see you kill the King of Games, to see his great proud statue fall,

And take his blood from his lost corpse, and stand right by you through it all.

Was there much blood, and were you scared? I wonder ever day.

Or were you merely driven, unthinking, doing all you could to keep thoughts away?

I call your name, Hikari mine; please do not take this daring plunge,

Into the realm of darkness, at your arms and hands I try to lunge.

But it's too late; you're now the dark of this entwined light and dark team,

So please return your innocence to yourself before I start to scream.

Oh what was lost? It seemed so much, your innocence was so true and pure,

And you were to be always gentle, always kind, of that I was sure!

But you killed that night, and now your features scare me so, they're cold and hard.

And now you'll cheat to win, and steal like I did, others rarest card.

Please Ra, return my light to me, he is so dark, I can't see brightness.

And now when I see him I cannot breathe; my throat contracts in tightness.

Oh innocence, return to Ryou, my sweet and precious Hikari.

Please return me to my role as dark before he gets the best of me.

REVIEW! How did you like the chapter? Good? Thanks:

Sakina the Fallen Angel –Hey Sakina! Loved your review, it was great! I'm going to be a star? Wow, I hope your predictions are accurate! When I'm driving in my limo…Ha, if I get a limo, when I'm finished with it, it would no longer be a limo, more like a YuGiOh-mobile! That would be awesome, all the manga issues inside, a TV with the boxed set of YuGiOh on DVD, and the set of the Japanese version with subtitles and plushies on the seats and this and that, ooh and that…etc, etc, etc… and I will not ever forget you! Thanks for the review, email me!

ttSerenity –Yeah, leaving homework really late is cool, I just say that I've done it all then do it at midnight or at school the next morning. Okay, you can read the book…If you want to update as fast as me, why don't you? Thanks for the review!

Stormrose Dewleaf –You are lucky, you get to go one fanfiction at school! I did once, but it was only for five minutes, and no one had updated since I'd checked it earlier that morning. Just because the book and movie are rated R, it doesn't mean you can't read it! I read it, and I am not even an official teenager yet. (I will be a teenager on the eleventh of March though!) Thanks for the review!

Rin-almighty-yaoi-lover –Hi Rin! Yay, you will be back! Although by the time you read this, you will already be back most likely. I can't wait for my B/R one-shot! Update soon enough? Thanks for reviewing!

Tokubi –I loved your review, there were just so many amazing comments and so much praise in it! I already emailed you, so you should know the rest, but yeah, thanks, and I'm so glad for your review! Thanks for reviewing!

Calmhorizon –Ryou's dreams were about Bakura torturing him and killing him, and doing terrible things I would rather not mention in a PG13 rated fic. Yeah, poor Ryou, I torture him way too much in my fics; I've killed him like twice, once by suicide! And he's beaten in almost every fic, he's my fave, I don't know why I do it! You really think I could be published one day? Wow, thanks that would be amazing! Thanks for the review!

If I missed responding to your review, I received it after I posted this chapter!

Love Sami, Ryou's Hikari.
