AN : Another chapter up! It took me a while to write it, I just hadn't got the time to write it down. I hope it's better than the last one. Bakura finally starts to realize how everything goes (but only until it's actually too late...!

Disclaimer: I still don't own anything... It still doesn't belong to me... Why can life be so unfair?


Chapter 6

A figure with a long black coat, but white hair, stood on the roof of an old building. Almost not seen because of the darkness of the night. I looked around, looking over the beautiful city at night. The only source of light were the few lights from the houses and some streetlights. The moon was hiding behind one of the few clouds at the dark sky. Only a few stars were seen. The city was beautiful at night. Everything was dark, except for the few people who still got light on. But only a few, most people were probably already to bed, which wasn't actually that strange, considering the time it was.

A small after-summer breeze reminded me of the end of the summer. It would soon become autumn again. And then winter. My least favorite of all the seasons. Everything would be cold and it would rain and snow most of the time of the day. All those idiot things you usually don't have when it's summer. Then you only got sun and warm weather. And of course the abilaty to walk around at night.

I felt my heart skip a beat. It was now a few days what happened between Ryou and me, but it still hurted when I thought about it. Or things we used to do together, like walking around at night or drinking some coffee somewhere.

Malik really helped me out then, but it still hurts. He also made his promise to tell never anyone about this, and so far he kept his promise, which I am really appriciate. Malik can keep really good to his promise, which I really am thankful for. Only Malik, Ryou I knew about this. Well, maybe some more if Ryou told anyone, but from who I know for sure it's just the three of us.

Since that time at Ryou's house I have thought a lot, mostly at night, just like now. Just sitting in the dark, most of the time on the roof of some building. Spending most of the night on the roof is really relaxing. It really helps to clear your head, especially when you have a lot to think about...

A sound of someone talking brought me back to the real world. First I hadn't really cared about it; there are more people talking at night, but I suddenly recognised it. A few seconds later I heard a second voice, which I also recognised when I listened more carefully. I stood up, walking slowly to the side where the voices seemed to come from. I looked over de edge of the building, but I saw nothing. Only darkness. I rushed further over the top of the building, carefully to not be heard by anyone.

I jumped down on a lower part of the old building, making a bit too much noise then I hoped it would make. I listened carefully, maybe they had heard me, but they still continued talking. I walked over to one of the sides and looked down into the darkness.

I smiled as I saw someone with snow-white hair. Almost an exact copy of my own hair. Sometimes it really sucked to have such a haircolor. When I looked further I saw an other person. The exact same persons as I expected to see.

I kneeled down, hoping in silence that they won't notice me.

"... too late Ryou." A male's voice said to the other person, who was standing in front of him.

"I'm so sorry! Please give me another chance! I can-"

"Oh, shut the fuck up. You have had enough chances. You had a month time and you screwed it up. You know what will come next."

"Yami please! I'll do anything! Just give me an other chance!" The white-haired teen begged.

The older one of the couple grabbed the teens throat, pushing the teen hard to the wall. "I said, shut up! I should have known it. From the very first beginning. You aren't one, and you will never become one."

Too late? Enough chances? One month time? Aren't one? Becoming one? What the hell are they talking about? My mind suddenly worked at top speed. Could it be...? I thought hopefully.

Suddenly the teen paralized, but I couldn't see because of what. When a cloud slowly moved away from the moon, my heart skipped a beat. A sudden flash of light. And I knew exactly what kind of thing could make such a flash of light.

He couldn't. He wouldn't. Would he?

"I shouldn't even have allowed you to become one. To take the test. You aren't one, I saw it already a month ago. God only knows why I still allowed you to try it. But, done is done. You have failed and you have to pay for it."

My eyes widened in shock when I saw what the older one did. The teen called Ryou sank down against the wall to the ground. His hands pushing on the wound in his chest. Slowly blood showed, coming from between his fingers, and falled on the floor. I turned my head away, breathing hard. He did it. He killed Ryou. How could he?

I heard Ryou couching and I closed my eyes. It was over. Ryou wasn't here anymore. Yami killed him. Just because of... Because of what actually? What did he ment with that all? That Ryou wasn't a true hunter? He was talking about some kind of a test. But what kind? I never heard anything of some kind of a test before. Would all hunters have to pass for that test before they could become a hunter? Could it be Ryou wasn't a hunter yet?

Suddenly everything was quiet again. After a few seconds I heard Yami putting his dagger away again and walking away throught the quiet and peacefull city. Unaware of the fact that there has just been someone murdered in one of the dark alleys of the town.

After a while, it seemed to take hours, I opened my eyes again. Trying hard to not going to cry. I stood up slowly and looked down, where the body of the white-haired teen was. Covered with dark places all over, which was most likely blood. As fast as I could I went down to the place Ryou was left.

I sank on my knees, taking Ryou's bloody body in my arms, not able to keep my tears away.

"Ryou..." I tried whispering, but I wasn't sure if there came any sound over my lips. Tears ran down over my face and fell on the teen. Mixing with the blood from the many wounds.

"I'm so sorry Ryou. I should have never left you... I'm so sorry." I whispered. "So sorry..."


AN: -laughes evilly- Sorry, but I just HAD to stop here. Long ago there was a cliffie, but here is one again. I shall try to update soon, but I can't promise anything! –hides from all the angry readers and starts writing next chapter-

Again thanks to everyone who took the time to review this story!

I am a catlover – I know Bakura is OOC, but I can't really help it. It's hard to keep everyone in character, so please don't hate me just because of the fact I make them a bit OOC.

Dark magician Girl Hikaru – Well, I think this chapter already answered your question about what will happen next. If not, just wait until the story gets further. And don't worry about late reviews, better a late one then none ;) I hope you enjoyed this chapter as much as I did.
