Hi! Look, I'm sorry if I haven't updated in a while, but I have had a lot of stuff on my mind. Like A) My fics Shadow Realm KC, Domino City KC and It's Too Late may be deleted because of the new fanfic law. B) I went back to school today. C) A lot of bad things have been happening to me lately. D) I'm upset because one of my best friends is leaving my school, and E) I was pondering life's mysteries and realized life is pointless and futile and nothing we do will matter once we are dead and rotting in our graves, ash tins, or cryogenically frozen states. So yeah, life sucks for me right about now. Anyway, this poem is random and includes many quotes from episode 13. Read on, my little hosts…my precious! (Gollum moment, had to do it!)

Disclaimer: I don't own YuGiOh or Gollum. Screw that, I don't WANT Gollum. The little LOTR fiend...

Before we get started in this shadow duel of ours

There's a little something I'd like to share with you all

You'll see soon that Bakura's no longer here

And after our duel I will remain strong and tall!

This duel started out as just a little bit of fun but

You have something I want, Yugi, and I aim to take it!

Let me introduce myself: I am a thief and a stealer of souls

And I am a cunning thief that will never possibly quit

I have done terrible things in my quest to possess

The Millennium Items that will make me unbeatable!

Hmm, I wonder if you shall make it out of this duel alive

For with that scared look on your face you look so defeat-able

This duel shall be mine! I will be victorious at last!

And with a new hand comes a whole new perspective

The game; ever shifting, new dangers surround every turn

And to be the winner is every mortal fool's pitiful objective.

A dilemma! Who shall win, and who shall lose their soul?

As my host cries: "I want to help but we must act quickly, Yugi!"

The Games King wouldn't attack him, and shook his head

For to assault would drain my host's life force and energy.

"I don't care, it's better than being enslaved by an evil spirit!"

Is what my yadonushi cried out with desperation and fear

But the Pharaoh drained his soul and replaced it with mine

So he was in my place; dueling, and I; helpless, was here.

Then the Pharaoh attacked me, and sent my soul away

But I am the shadows, and the shadows never ever brighten

So as I vanished temporarily into my abode in the dark

I save my soul for a time when it can finally start to lighten.

Not one of my best, I know, but there was a page of my fave quotes I'd written so I wanted to use Bakura's quotes from episode thirteen. Well, thanks:

ttSerenity –Yay, I finally learnt the story behind your pen name! So, what is your real name anyway? He was a psycho murderer? Is this for real? You lead a crazy life; you know that? Chasing cars, throwing confetti, spying on people. Are you a secret agent or something? My cousin and I spied on people. These people had a banner with odd letters on it and we turned it into the name of the 'supposed' organization they were running. You didn't like YuGiOh? Geez, I've watched it ever since the premiere was on! Teen Titans…I've heard of it but I haven't watched it. I took a quiz though, and I am most like Raven! Thanks for reviewing, Haters. (Traitors to the human race!)

Calmhorizon –Bakura isn't being that hard on himself! Life is very predictable; in fact I can predict your future right now: One day you will die. Simple, easy and true! Actually, I messed up the facts, it's not three minutes that everyone dies, it's three seconds. So 1, 2 and 3, and someone dies, and repeat basically. Same thing with birth; someone is born every three seconds. Love and Peace, thanks for reviewing!

Stormrose Dewleaf –Very true; I'm glad you agree with me! Yep, six! Wait, now it's eight; I updated TPTDF so now there are four parts! Why don't you go on Quizilla a lot? I go on it every day! I don't know which I like better, fanfic net or Quizilla. Don't you like Inuyasha, Moriko? I think he's cute! I still need to see the series. I wanted to buy the four seasons on DVD, and I would have bought the first one if it was in stock at my fave DVD store. I really want to see it now that I know a plushie of Inu is available! See ya! Thanks for reviewing!

Love Sami.
