Thanks so much,

I-love-Bakura (I don't bother with numbers. If u would like me to, review): Thanks you so much, you don't know how much that review meant to me. Knowing that a complete stranger would miss the fact that I am gone. I am forever in your debt.

Dark Magician Girl/ Hikaru: Same as above. Thank you. Like you said, you don't even know me and that means all the more.

Oh, and apologies about the e-mail if you didn't like it. I just thought they would be nice to send, as I liked their story a lot, as it was sent to me.

Also, thanks to everything in this world that is my reason for living.

Disclaimer: last chapter.

And now, on with the latest addition of Black and White Roses

Somewhere not here.

Shocked, she stared at the filled pages, her eyes wide.Then they settled into eager curiousity as she flipped to the next page. After reading it, she found the next few pages blank. Then another filled page. She raised an eyebrow and set the 'diary' as she would think of it now, down. She opened her leather handbag swiftly and picked up a black ballpoint pen and tapped it against her crimson lips before smiling in a relaxed way and writing in the blank pages, all that she knew of the event that was so terrible, yet so marvelous that she would remember it for years to come.

Hello, you must think that I am quite mad right now. That's all right. I wonder about the same thing. Hullo. What the- why is there a tear on my face? There is never to be any foolishness on my face you Ra-damned tear. I wipe it roughly away. I have no patience for such foolishness.

The invitations are ready. Perhaps they will not realize this is a trap. If they do, they will instantly be eliminated. I smile almost sadly. Too bad they'll never know what hit them.

Normal Pov

" What the fuck!"Yami cursed in anger. "What the hell is this?" He and Yugi heard the thud of a body hit the house. They both ran downstairs to see Jou hit the wall.

"What the fuck are you thinking!" they could hear Bakura shouting angrily. "it's too Ra damned early to be pranked! "

Ryou desperately tried to hold his yami back. "Bakura! Behave!"

Bakura turned blood red eyes onto him and sighed. "Fine. I'm too tired for these tricks though."

He disappeared into his Ring.

Ryou turned and apologized. "I'm sorry, we received some letter about a haunted house, deemed to spook the bravest of people. Then it started insulting Kura. "

Yugi blinked "So did Yami."

Ryou smiled gently. "I see. I think I do anyway. Well, so long Yugi, I have to finish some homework."

Bakura followed him home silently.

Ryousmiled a small smile, feeling Bakura's warm presence behind him. So warm, compared to him, he mused. Ifone could feel his skin, they would freeze,he thought. That is why no one touches him. He froze to death that day you see. That one, cold night that killed all reason for him.

Ryou fiercely tugged his scarf tighter around his neck to keep the frozen tears from melting, from showing his fear and anger and bitterness.

Bakura felt the wave of despair and looked at his frail light with gruff concern. His hikari was growing stronger and weaker at the same time, and he couldn't help him. And like always...he couldn't help him.
