Chapter Eleven: It Had To Be Done

I was not sure how long Yugi and I had talked or when I had fallen asleep. I woke up to the late afternoon sun coming into the bedroom window. I slowly open one eye and then the other.

"Hey there sleepy head." Came a voice from the doorway.

"What time is it?" I ask sitting up.

Looking around I notice that Yugi's room is rather small compared to Kaiba's Mansion. A few feet away from the bed was a light colored desk, which looked nice next to the baby blue walls.

"Sorry about the mess." Yugi says studying the look on my face.

I shift my weight uncomfortably, then take another look at the room. There were papers upon papers on the desk. To my surprise there were so many that some had fallen onto the chair.

"No need to apologize." I say swinging my legs over the side of the bed so I can stand up.

"Yugi?"

"Yes, Abbey."

"Umm...well...It's just if I slept here where did you sleep?" I ask looking at the now empty bed.

"I spent the night on the couch." Yugi said not meeting my eyes.

"I guess I had better go."

"I will walk back with you." Yugi said giving me a smile.

I was unaware how far the walk was and I tried to keep my mind from getting to far ahead. I have this really bad habit where I let my mind run when I am nervous. This time though, I was beyond nerves I felt like I was going to be sick. Just the thought of where I was headed had my head spinning.

With each step I took my legs felt heavy, my breathing was becoming frantic and then as we rounded the corner I could see Kaiba Mansion.

"Yugi...I don't think I can do this." I said my voice cracking.

"Abbey you can do this. I will be with you every step of the way."

I knew with it being so late Kaiba would already be in Battle City for the day. At that thought I felt a tiny bit better, with him being gone and the Mansion empty I knew getting my things would be much easier.

"You're sure Tea said it was okay if I stayed with her?" I ask opening the door.

"Yes, I am absolutely sure Tea said it was okay."

Looking down at this Yugi I wasn't so sure. He seemed nice enough and he had helped me out by calling Tea but it was as though his words did not mean as much as the Pharaoh's.

"Where's your room?"

"Upstairs third door on the right." I said my voice sounding hallow.

It was as though my body was simply going through the motions while cleaning out what had become my room. So I let my mind wander to the conversation I had with Yugi the night before.

Flash Back

"Hold on; you are telling me that Kaiba was a sorcerer and that the rival between the two of you started 5,000 years ago?" I said with uncertainty.

"Yes."

"What does any of this have to do with me?" I asked confused.

"That is what I am unsure of Abbey, I do not yet know what key role you play in all this."

End Of Flash Back.

"Well Abbey I think this is the last of it." Yugi said closing the box in front of him.

I watched Yugi pick the box up and head for the door. I stood by the bed for a moment taking in the now empty and soon to be lifeless room. Holding back tears I quickly made my way down the stairs.

"Yugi." I said catching his arm.

"Yes Abbey?" Yugi said turning to face me.

"I will meet you outside in a few minutes, there is something I have to do."

With that I turned and went up the stairs. I went straight to Kaiba's office, opened the door and walked over to the desk. I knew Kaiba always kept a notebook open on the desk so he could take notes when he needed to. Making my way around the desk I sat in the oversized chair and started writing.

Dear Kaiba,

I am so sorry but I cannot stay here any longer. I did not come here looking for love and I think being around you is getting in the way. I have to put a stop to whatever is going on before we cannot turn back. I've gone to stay with a friend, I hope you understand.

Seeing the note on Kaiba's desk made my heart ache. Making sure the world was safe, even if that meant breaking his heart was something that had to be done and I could not turn back now.

Please Review. :)
