" Seto, Mokuba, what's wrong? What are you doing here this time of night?" Seto did nothing except hand Ryou a note. "Here. This is for you. Rachel wanted you to have this." With that he walked away, a confused and saddened Mokuba trailing behind. Ryou opened the note, confusion etched on his face. "What is this?" As he read, he had to hold onto the door handle to steady himself. " No…this can't be! What have I done?" " Ryou, what's taking so long out here?" Bakura yelled as he came to the door. What he saw surprised him. His hikari was sitting in the doorway, door wide open, face pale and full of pain. " Hikari, what's going on here? What's wrong with you?!" Bakura said, annoyance creeping in his voice. " You've left the door wide open. The white demons are getting in!(1)Are you listening to me Ryou?" But Ryou was not. All he could think of was the note clutched in his hand and that he had driven the only girl he had really loved to suicide. I mean, sure he was going out with Anzu now, but he had realized not too long after that Rachel had been the only one for him. Why hadn't he told her sooner how much he truly loved her? Why did he even break up with her? It had all been such a mistake, a mistake that had led to some deadly consequences.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Three days later, at the funeral, Ryou was silent, staring seemingly at nothing. It was all he could do to refrain from screaming right in front of everyone, "This was not supposed to happen This is all my fault!" He tried to stay away from Seto, who was obviously furious with him. And why shouldn't he be? Mokuba was also silent, trying to be strong, but anyone could see the obvious pain on his face. Seto tried to stay remain his usual emotionless self, but found himself unable to keep within the rage and sadness he felt. Everyone had shown up, which comforted Seto more than he would ever open up and admit to. It was a simple service, Rachel had somehow, through all her hardships, remained a very simple person. Seto refused to say any words, and refused Ryou when he wanted to say something. After everyone had left, Seto and Mokuba stayed behind to just, be with her alone for a little while. As they approached her gravesite, a small white piece of paper stuck out among the grey of the headstone and the bright colors of the flowers. Seto picked it up, curious. As he read, he could feel his rage melting away. This is what the note said:

Seto, Mokuba,: I know this will never do justice for all the pain I've caused you, but I wanted to ask your forgiveness. I found out too late how much I loved your sister, and the guilt of my actions is a burden I'll carry with me always. I've decided to leave Domino for a while, maybe forever. I wish you both much strength in these hard days to come.

Ryou Bakura
