*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Caught in the Undertow *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The moon, muted by clouds, cast its cold rays on the shadowy figure, running through the city, heading towards the waters of the Nile. Chione, for that was who it was, thought of Bakura, her Bakura, yelling at her, "You whore!" She saw Yami looking at her with lust. Then she perceived herself wrapping her legs around the Pharaoh, drawing him into the depths of her. Bakura didn't want her anymore, without him life was meaningless. She stopped beside the river, and took off her sandals and the armbands and laid them all by the bank of the river. She dipped her toe into the water; it was freezing cold. She lifted up the skirts and took a step into the Nile; the water lay around her ankles. The sharp rocks were cutting her soft feet, causing them to bleed, the water around her turning a pale red. She took another step, and the water was now up to her calves. With another two steps the water went up to her knees, another two found the water around her thighs. With two more steps, the water lapped around her hips. The Nile was numbingly cold, and Chione shivered violently. Her dress now floated around her slim waist. The bank was still close she could turn back now. Looking down, she could see through her now transparent dress the outline of her sinfulness. Resolute in her punishment, Chione stood rigid, and clenching her jaw, taking step after step until at last the water level was equal to her naval. A few more steps brought the Nile up to her breasts, the same breasts that the Pharaoh had licked, which now heaved. Taking two more steps left her with her chin resting on top of the water. Her hair streamed out behind her. This was it, there was no turning back, her last conscious thought was of her Bakura.

`I will always love you Silver Wolf.'

She took in a huge breath, and taking a final step, Chione let the water close in over her head. She was now submerged, and the water burst from her lungs, and escaped through her mouth in the form of bubbles. She choked on water, and struggled to come up, her lungs feeling like they would explode in a mere few seconds. Unable to get to break the surface, she sunk to the bottom of the Nile, and black water enveloped her. Lack of oxygen caused her brain to shut off within minutes, and unconsciousness crept up on her with the stealth of a black panther.

LusciousDragon: OK, so it wasn't a cliffhanger, but I did try…

Lyrics to Linkin Park's "Numb"

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure, of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

[Chorus:]
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart, right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
An' every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be (x2)
