This is my first song fic. The title of this fic is the name of one of the songs that will be in this fic. When I came up with the story, the song immediately popped into my head, and it became a song fic. Hope you like it, and if you must ignore the song lyrics, fine. But please DO read the lyrics to 'Forever Autumn' when it appears. Arigato!


Chapter 5- Walkin' Man's Road

Please read these lyrics! I love this song!

*Horizon, rising,

up to meet the purple dawn.

Dust demons, screamin',

brinc an eagle to lead me on.

For in my heart I carry such a heavy load,

Here I am, on man's road.

Walkin Man's Road.

Walkin' Man's Road.*


Ryou's POV

Darkness. All around me. What happened? I remember Otogi scream. I remember the car. I remember the pain. And after that, silent darkness. I sat and cried. I was afriad. I called for Bakura, but he didn't answer. I tried to go to my soul room, but I couldn't. I tried to link to the Shadow Realm, but I couldn't. Finally, I gave up, and went to sleep. Now, I'm awake. But I don't know where I am. It appears to be a huge labyrinth. I have been wandering for hours. I'm starting to think I'll never get out. Bakura..... Where are you? Where am I? Why won't you answer me? Why won't you call to me? Why can't I feel you?

*I'm hungry, weary,

but I cannot, lay me down.

The rain comes, dreary,

but there's no shelter,

I have found

It will be a long time 'til I find my abode,

Here I am, on man's road.

Walkin' Man's Road.

Walkin' Man's Road.*

I'm never going to make it out of here. It just keeps getting colder, and darker. I'm going to die in here if I'm not dead already. Why else would I not be able to reach Bakura? I'm trying to fight off the tears. I'm trying to be strong, like Bakura would want me to be. But I can't. I fall to my knees, and cry. Bakura.... Will I ever see you again? That's all I want. I want to get back to you. I think of you, and get back to my feet again, and round a corner.

No. No! NO! Why?!? WHY?!? For the fourth time, I'm back where I started. The center of the maze. I'm so sorry Bakura. I can't do it. I tried to be strong, but I can't. Not anymore. I have tried for hours, but I haven't gotten anywhere. I'll never get out. I'll never get back to you. And I'm so tired. I collapse, and I feel the tears trickle down my face. I'm so tired. I'm so cold. Bakura, please, help me.

*Moon rising', disguising,

Lonely streets, in gay display.

The stars fade, The night shades,

Falls and makes the world afraid.

It waits in silence for the skies, to explode,

Here I am, on man's road.

Walkin' Man's Road.*

I keep telling myself to get up. To keep trying. I'm bound to make it out sometime. But I don't even know how big this maze is. What chance do I have? Bakura could do it. Why hasn't he come for me? Maybe, maybe he did, and he's lost too. Both of us, doomed to wander this maze for all time, yet never see each other. My only comfort, is that I can't feel you. If you were in the maze, I would be able to detect you. And I can't. It is a blessing and a curse. I'm empty, now that I can't feel you. You are my strength. But not feeling you, tells me that we are not sharing this fate, and for that, I am glad. Bakura.... I love you. I want to be with you again. I'm sorry for running out. I'm sorry for making you mad. I'm sorry for being weak. I'm sorry I've given up. I'm sorry I'm crying. But it all feels so hopeless without you. I need you, Bakura. I love you.
