Ten Little Duel Monsters
Ryou and Serenity's eyes traveled from Kaiba's body upwards until they reached each other's eyes. There was complete and total silence while thoughts rushed through their heads.
I guess it had to end this way...
No...
I never wanted it to...
It can't possibly be...
I didn't want to face this...
I thought I knew...
But somehow I'll get over it...
I couldn't have been wrong about this!
I just have to remember the circumstances.
Serenity turned abruptly and headed toward the kitchen.
"Hey, get back here!" snarled Ryou, starting after her.
"Glad to oblige," Serenity said, returning to the door way with a knife in her hand.
"Put that down," Ryou said harshly.
"No," Serenity replied, just as coldly.
"Then what do you plan to do with it?"
"Not what you're thinking. You're lucky. Unlike everyone else, you get a choice. Do you want to live or not?"
"Yes," Ryou said, going slightly pale.
"Then here's what's going to happen: You are going to go up into your room and I will lock you in. Then I'm going to get off this island; there must be something here that floats. I'm sure that you'll eventually get out, but in the meantime, I don't need you underfoot."
There was a pause in which Ryou stood still, looking slightly amused.
"Why aren't you moving?" asked Serenity. "Go!"
Silently, Ryou exited the room and climbed the stairs, stopping in front of his door.
"Why are you stopping?" Serenity asked.
"How are you going to deal with the window in my room?" he asked quietly. "And about the door's hinges? They're on the inside. It would take me five minutes to get them off."
Serenity lowered the knife in her hand slightly, looking confused. "Why point this out now? Wouldn't it be easier to escape if you didn't?"
"Yes. But you forget that I've had a thief king possessing me for a while now. I could escape from anywhere that you put me. Even if the room was inescapable, then I could still attack you when you turn to find the key for the door."
"I have the knife here, remember?"
"Well, yes. But you wouldn't have it for long."
Serenity snapped the knife back up. "You're right. There's only one solution."
A long pause followed these words.
"What's wrong?" Ryou asked softly.
"There's nothing wrong! I have no choice!" Serenity sounded hysterical. Suddenly, she began to whip the knife around.
A gunshot sounded and she collapsed onto the ground.
A/N: Le gasp! Only one person left! However, there will still be one or two chapters after this. Reviews are still greatly appreciated. Short chappie, but next one will be longer.
JessiePotter: Definitely psychic.
TCD0012: Yay! Loving the quote!
SiriusIsthar: Obviously, Serenity did not look out... Thanks for reviewing!
Primevera Took: You liked my fence? YAY!
(Any relation to Pippin:P)
alexbakura: Yep, well, Ryou's the only one left, so...
A 4 out of 5? Flattering, considering one of my best friends thinks that this story has no plot aside from the big plot (if that makes ANY sense at all...)
- glomps Yuugi -: Oh, no you don't! Ryou's mine!
I'll adopt Mokuba! Actually, I'll make my parents adopt him, but he'll be around anyways...
