For some special reason most of you liked this story so being bored I'll update it. Even without the journal I'll update it so if it sounds way way off then it will sound way way way way off.

If it's angst then you have no one to blame but I who has gotten very bitter over the years. I won't even try to make it cheery. Funny how one's persona can morph over a period of two years...

A day later:

The silver moon hung low over the park glinting its gleam off of a pretty jewel in the light. A couple was spending the night walking down a moonlit path by the pond. Purely enjoying each other's presences they reveled. Clasping her hand tightly her swung her so she would face him. Deftly stealing a kiss he held her close.

"Seto," a breathy whisper passed from her delicate lips.

"You keep on staring at the ring. Are you not satisfied with it?"

With a smirk set upon feminine petal lips she spun away from him and stared down at the ring sitting on her finger.

"Of course not; I just… Can't believe I'm married to an enigma such as you."

Striding back to her he led her to a nearby bench and whispered, "Why? Is it because I'm so undeserving?"

Abruptly she turned her face and stole a kiss of her own before nuzzling him saying, "Of course not I just… Seto what's that?"

Turning his head to see what she had seen he saw metal glinting in one of the trees nearby. Dread and fear suddenly took over. "Serenity…"

He stood up and tried to hide her behind him as he withdrew his pistol. But the muffled shot had already known the taste of air. White hot pain raced up his arm but still he returned fire.

"Serenity?" She was still sitting on the bench while this had happened so suddenly.

Kaiba fired another resounding shot but the assassin was gone. Now he focused his attention on her. Clutching his arm he tried to get her attention fearing for the worse.

"Serenity? Ren, can you hear me?"

His voice sounds so far away… What happened? Blood? He's bleeding… But why do I feel so numb?

"Seto, you're bleeding..."

"I'm ok it's just my arm. Are… Are you ok?"

"I feel cold… Seto?" He looks as if he's going to cry… What happened?

"Serenity just hang in there. Sweet darling everything is going to be fine. Everything is going to be fine," his voice shuddered. He quickly dialed 911 and told him of his location. It would be too risky to try and carry her to the hospital. Where was she hit? Why is there so much blood? With shaky hands he cradled her body close and placed her head against his chest.

"Seto, don't cry," he felt her delicate fingers caressing his cheek.

"Serenity," he smiled for her but it was devoid of emotion. Looking into her hazel eyes he clasped her hand tightly in his. "Please don't leave me."

"What do you mean Seto? I won't leave you. I wouldn't leave you for the world."

"I know Ren' I know…" Cupping her cheek in his hand he kissed her gently.

I pray to the Gods and may they hear me. I beg you to let her stay please…

"My darling you know that I love you," his voice didn't sound familiar to himself.

"For all of eternity I will love you. Nothing will make me stray from you, Serenity," his voice betrayed his emotions.

"Why are you saying all of this Seto?" Serenitylooked up into his somber blue eyes.

"Seto? You're scaring me," she wiped away one of the tears that fell from his eyes.

"Forgive me… I couldn't save you," burying his face in the crook of her neck he wept.

"I'm so sorry," he whispered kissing her neck gently.

"Seto it… it's alright…"

Feeling her go limp in his arms he wanted to cry out he wanted to but he couldn't he couldn't…

Instead he kept her in his embrace not letting go never wanting to let go.


Yay… it ended now I can go to sleep…
