The following contains angst and a very sad ending. This one-shot
is dedicated to judgement-of-anubis or better known as
Tsuzuki2001. Happy Bunny for President!!!
Where will you go
Ryou watched sadly as all of his supposed friends left for their
homes. They had all been over Yugi's house playing cards as usual
and as usual he had been watching Anzu non-stop. He had
developed an intense crush on her ever since he had met her. She
was the first to talk to him and the first to actually include him in
anything.
You're too important for anyone
You play the role of all you long to be
But I, I know who you really are
You're the one who cries when you're alone
He noticed that no one paid real attention to her at least not in the
way that he did. He saw every fake smile and laugh, every silent
tear that escaped her eyes as she watched the gang have fun at her
expense. She was always ridiculed but later the guys would
apologize and she'd accept it. But they'd start up again the next
day. It made him furious to watch her suffer in silence. He knew
that she was always alone just like him. Her parents were always
off on business like his father. He wondered sometimes if that had
been what had drawn him to her in the first place.
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
You can't escape
You think that I can't see right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
You're left to face yourself alone
When he saw that she had left he followed her silently, thankful
for the skills that he had learned from Bakura when they had
shared a body but now that the spirits had returned to ancient
Egypt he had to fend for himself. Yugi had become slightly like
Yami and he like Bakura. Puberty he guessed. But someone who
hadn't changed was Anzu. She was still as beautiful and
resourceful as she was before.
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape the truth
I realize you're afraid
But you can't abandon everyone
You can't escape
You don't want to escape
Ryou still couldn't believe the way that they all treated her. He
knew that Yugi did it out of spitefulness, seeing as Anzu had once
held a crush for his counterpart. Everyone knew of it but Yugi
didn't seem to care until after the final battle. But the rest of the
gang had no right to call her names and leave her out of things.
He knew that they included him because they were too scared not
to. He, being somewhat like Bakura, was very dangerous.
He came to a full stop when Anzu entered the park. He watched
as she sat on a bench and began to cry. He wanted so much just to
go over and comfort her but he knew that he couldn't. She didn't
want him, her feelings for Yami still lingered and he knew that no
matter what he did as of now it wouldn't help.
I'm so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone
I can hear you in a whisper
But you can't even hear me screaming
Where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape the truth
Maybe some day he'd be able to tell her how he felt but not now.
For now, he'd watched her from afar making sure that nothing
physically harmed her. He knew that her pain was emotional but
at least nothing permanent would affect her for now. He imagined
holding her in his arms and whispering comforting words to her as
she huddled her body to keep warm from the icy wind that had
begun to pick up. Tears kept spilling themselves until she would
wipe them away leaving room for newly shed ones. A while passed
before she collected herself and started her way home. He kept his
watch and made sure that she arrived safely home. He watched as
she turned on the light in her room and crawled into bed. He
silently bid her goodnight and made his way home wishing for the
day that she would love him as much as he loved her. When that
day came no one would ever make her cry again. If they even tried
they would suffer through far more than Bakura would've ever
made them.
I realize you're afraid
But you can't reject the whole world
You can't escape
You won't escape
You can't escape
You don't want to escape
