Yay! I finally updated again! It's the second chapter of Death of a Friend! Please R & R!
"Yume." Ryoga said softly, while lying in bed.
He turned to the other bed where Yume used to sleep. He remembered her so clearly, as if she was on a one day trip somewhere. Although her short blue hair and sapphire eyes were stuck inside his head. She was all he could think about. School was supposed to start today but he didn't feel like going anywhere for the time being. Not until he accepted that she was truly dead.
He still thought, somewhere in his mind that she was alive. That it was all a dream. Yume. It meant dream.
Kamishiro Ryoga was walking along the streets; nothing to do, nowhere to go. He usually stayed at the park until he found a better home. That was when he saw a girl.
"Hi! My name is Sakurai Yume! Nice to meet you!" Yume smiled.
"My name is Kamishiro Ryoga. It's very nice to meet you." Ryoga said.
"So where are your parents?" Yume asked.
"...I don't have any." Ryoga looked down.
"Yume-chan! Let's go!" Yume's dad said.
"Just a minute, dad! Well, I gotta go but it was nice meeting you!" Yume said.
Ryoga stared at Yume until she got in the car and drove off. He just made a new friend.

"Hey, Ryoga! Ryoga!" a girl whispered.
It was 8:00 in the morning and Yume was supposed to be going to school but decided to visit Ryoga instead. She searched the park and found him sleeping up in a tree.
"Ryoga! Wake up!" she shouted.
Ryoga rubbed his eyes and looked down. The sight of her face delighted him. He was always lonely with no-one to talk to.
"Good morning, Yume." He said.
"Good morning!" Yume said.
"Were you going to school?" he asked, looking at her school dress.
"I can skip a day." She smiled.
From that morning on, they talked to each other and got to know each other better. Ryoga stole some breakfast from the supermarket nearby.
"You know why my name's Yume?" she asked, chomping into the cookie Ryoga gave her.
He shook his head, quietly eating his cookie.
"Mum said it's because she said I was a dream come true. My name means 'dream.'" Yume smiled.
"Shouldn't you be getting home?" Ryoga asked as he finished eating his cookie.
"Come on! I'll show you my house! My parents won't even notice." Yume smiled as she grasped his hand and pulled him to her house.
It was 4:00, the time that Yume was supposed to finish school by. When they arrived at her house, cops were everywhere. Police cars out on the road and cops everywhere in her house. Yume broke down crying when the police officers told her that her parents were murdered this morning.
"Let's go, Yume." Ryoga held out a hand. "You can live with me."
Ryoga smiled as Yume wiped her tears and took his hand.
"Yup!" Yume smiled.
"Yume..." Ryoga looked at her bed once more.
After that Ryoga and Yume started living together and found that abandoned house. He could never forget her. Her face, her voice, and most of all, her smiles and promises that she had made with him. He could never really except reality when his parents died. And neither could he face reality when Yume died. She was like his family and he was like her family; both caring and loving for each other.
Ryoga had learned to stop crying and be brave yesterday. He only cried because it was his first night without her. If anybody would have seen him, he would've been so embarrassed and ashamed. He was a 14 year old teenager and wouldn't let tears stop him.
Ryoga was already enrolled in the same school as Yume but only started when he was 10 because that was the year Yume's parents died. He learned to duel by the age of 11 so he had 3 years f experience already.
He wondered to himself. Would he ever be able to face the truth and go back to school again? Could it be that he would never duel again?
