Anzu's POV
Today was suppose to be one of the happiest days of my life, I finally come home to see my friends that I have missed so much but today…ended up being the most heart wrenching day I've ever experienced in my life. My best friend is gone and I never got to say good bye to him but what bothers me the most, is that I never got to help my one true love. I couldn't help him…I couldn't be with him when he needed me most. I almost feel like I abandoned them both. I should've been here…
Normal POV
It was now night and the wind blew the room as Anzu sat on the bed, holding herself tightly as tears silently fall from her eyes. Her crystal tear glistened as the moonlight that illuminated the bed room. She was too sadden and upset by the events the occur today so she called her mother and explained to her the situation. Jounouchi and Shizuka offered her to stay for the night, in the morning she would be calmer and less tensed. She was sitting in the very room that Yami had tried to end his life so many times. She could literally sense the turmoil that went on in this room but some unknown force made her want to stay here.
Anzu got up from the bed and walked over to the small oak wood vanity and looked into her reflection. She saw the stains left from her hours from her mourning. On the vanity was a small bottle that reeked of alcohol, she went into the draws and found empty pill bottles and a small knife still stained with blood. She held it in her hands and an image came to her of him cutting himself but quickly shook it off and dropped it on the floor. When she was about to close it, she saw a small picture that revealed a happy image of her and Yami in the park. She remembered that day; it was when they went to the park for the annual festival to watch the cherry blossoms bloom. Everyone was so happy then…
She placed the picture back on the vanity and lay in the bed. She felt something hard against her back. She got up and moved the covers to see a black book. Anzu took the book and flipped it open to the first page and gasped at what she saw…

It has been three weeks since Yugi's death and less than a week since those guys took away my dignity. Why did this happen? Have I committed a great sin to deserve this, to mourn the death of my brother? If I only had paid more attention to him but I couldn't tell him…I couldn't tell anyone what was troubling me, that day seems so far away yet I can remember it like yesterday. Lately I have searched for ways to heal my many wounds. I know self mutilation is wrong but I feel as though I've escaped reality when I slit my wrist. The blood drips and I enter a world of harmonious bliss yet that darkness is still there. The pills only calm my nerves and take away my anxiety. All my friends' even Kaiba has tried to help but there is nothing they can do. There is nothing no one can be.
She couldn't believe what she was reading. She could sense the pain from his words. That feeling of guilt grew that made her feel only worse; she wasn't there to try to soothe his pain. As she looked on the entries got darker and darker, talking about grief, sadness, and death, each more terrifying then the next but the last entry was possible the darkest and saddest of all…

I'm so tired of living, why can't I just move on to the next life and escape this bitter reality. Every time I try to end my life, a voice in my head always calls out to him and then I feel a sudden rush of pain. Why is it I am forced to live when all I wish to die? I found a picture of me and Anzu and today. I miss her so much; I wish she was here so I could talk to her. She probably thinks I hate her or something since I haven't e-mailed her in months, I hope she doesn't because I really do care for her but I would only hurt her now if she was to see me right now. Unfortunately this will be my last entry I will write in this book because this will be the end of my story. My faith has been drained and I have nothing left but to fade away.
She felt overcome by grief that she couldn't bare. She placed the black book in the draw near the bed; she went in her comfy bed and cried herself to sleep…
'I'm so sorry Yami…I'm so sorry…'
"Are you sure you want to do this, Anzu, we can wait til' later to see him" said Mai as they got out her car.
"Don't force yourself into something you may not be ready for" said Shizuka standing beside her friend.
"Don't worry about me I'll be fine I promise, let's go in" said Anzu as the three went inside the hospital and up to the front desk.
"Excuse me, we're looking for Yami Mutou" said Shizuka to the nurse at the desk.
"Oh yes I remember you when you brought him; he's on the 2nd floor in room 215" she said.
"Thanks" said Mai.
They got on the elevator up to the 2nd floor. Anzu felt tightness in her chest as they approach his room; her heart was ready to jump out of her. She knew she had to do this, she owe this to him…
"Don't worry we're right here" said Mai with her and on Anzu's shoulder, sensing the tension that was feeling about to enter the room.
"Thanks" she mumbled under her breath and entered the room.
There lay Yami's body as he was drifting in his slumber. His beautiful crimson eyes were covered with bandages and as the sound from the heart monitor echoed through the room. Anzu slowly walked over to her fallen love and brushed her yellow bangs from his face.
"He's been like this for three months now" said Shizuka in a sadden tone.
"…You guys, can I call once I'm ready to pick me up…I just want to stay here with him for a while" said Anzu sadly.
"No problem hun, just call my cell when you're ready" said Mai, pushing Shizuka out the room before she could protest, leaving the two alone.
"Mai what are you doing! You can't just leave her alone with him like that, she's already devastated by his state as it is!" whispered Shizuka so no one else would hear the conversation.
"Don't worry, maybe she will be enough to wake Yami up, you never know" said Mai as they both walked out the hospital.
The breeze flew in the hospital room as Anzu looked upon Yami's frail body. She just felt her mind go blank, unable to speak. Her body was in a state of shock from looking at her secret love.
"…Why…Why did you do this to yourself?" she finally said. "Why didn't you ask for help…I'm so sorry…I'm so sorry I left you alone"
The sadness overcame her as she continue to look on at him but she would not run away no matter how much she wanted to, she had to do this not only for him…but for herself.
"I would give anything...anything for you to wake up…anything" she said through her sobs now holding his soft hand tightly as tears from her crystal blue eyes fell upon them. She laid her head beside his arm on the bed.
"I wish you could hear me Yami…if only I could tell you how much I love you" she whispered.
I can hear you…
Anzu quickly looked up, startled to hear the familiar voice.
"I can hear you…who are you?"
