Ryou's thoughts (and actions and speech in his POV)

Chapter 1 –

'Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me?
And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free?'

Yes…I suppose I have…

'I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my hand'

I take his hand…he smile at me…a proper smile. He starts running…pulling me along..

'We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down'

I laugh: even when he sings his point of view on my friends never changes.

'So by the morning light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name'

I stare at him. He kisses my forehead and continues to empty the chest of drawers into suitcases.

'I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there'

I can start again…no one will know about my old friends, and the ones that went into comas.

'All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore'

I smile and nod once to him. He grins at me.

'Let's run away, I'll take you there'

He starts lugging one suitcase back towards the door again. I follow, taking another.

'We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the mornings light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where no one needs a reason'

He kisses me again and takes the case from me…he's been so caring lately…

'Forget this life
Come with me'

We're out the door and into the car now…where exactly does he intend to drive us?

'Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart'

I stare at him some more as he starts the car, pausing only to kiss me quickly but beautifully.

He sends my mind spinning.

'Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you'

It's like he's hypnotising me with his melody…but I love him so much.

'Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you now'

'Bakura…where are we going?' I ask him as he drives out of Domino. He shrugs.

'I'll find us a place…how about Egypt?' he suggests, before singing more.

'We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down'

I smile and nod vigorously. He'd already taught me so much about Egypt – I knew all about it.

'So by the morning light
We'll be half way to anywhere'

He sounds so carefree…and if Egypt will make him happy, then I'll be happy there.

'Where love is more than just your name.'

'…That was beautiful, Bakura.'

'Not as beautiful as you, koi.'

Hmm…more random fluff…I can't seem to stop writing this…! My new aim is to write 20 fics in a week (hopefully all for my Evanescence Trials!) To support me, please review. Much thankies for reading, naioka1992 – xoxo

PS: this is number 17 in…2 days? 3? Ahh well, I'll say it's 3…that way it's still in a week!
