Disclaimer: I do not own the game or the people I am using for this ff XD (although I wish I did)

This chapter is more like a re-telling of the meeting of Crow and Seto...but the way I prefer it ;)

The dialog is almost the dame as in the game (just a few changings here and there;) )

So enough talking and on with the story!

I remember your face, your contagious attitude, your laugh, your smile...

I remember your eyes, those that looked like a cats, and your wild, unruly dark hair framing your face so perfectly.

I remember your voice, so soothing and deep. Sometimes it was mocking, sometimes it was laced with unsaid emotions.

Your skin was white and creamy, it felt so soft to the touch, as we intertwined our hands. Your body emitted that warmth, that made me feel safe and comforted.

And then...I tasted those lips, those soft, plumb lips.

I remember it all so very well.

In my memory it will always be clear and forever young.

Now I see you leaning against the wall...you are barely conscious.

I feel my heart beating in my chest, so fast, it hurt.

I run over to you, kneeling on the ground before you, shouting your name over and over.

'Crow? Crow!'

And then you finally open your eyes.

Your eyes look dead, unfocused...and it scares me.

'Heh, nice job recognizing me', you whisper with almost no emotions.

I want to see your beautiful eyes, the light and life in them, but you are avoiding my gaze, never meeting mine for a second.

'I know, pretty lame, right? Seriously... I can't even really see anything anymore'.

You look so lost in this room with all these discarded dolls surrounding you. Wait...dolls...he can not mean...

'You're a ...' I can't say another word. My throat feels tight and dry.

'You hit the nail on the head. That's right, you ain't looking at a human. I'm more like these discarded dolls around me. Nothing about me is human.'

You say this like you really believe your words. So defeated and without hope.

No! I want to shout it at you, make you understand. I want to bring your spirit back and make you see, that you are wrong!

'You're still my best friend in the world!' I shouted at you.

'You listening? I'm not even alive.'

Why don't you understand? You are nothing like these robots that follow orders, you are a person with a mind and your own free will. My best friend.

I grap your shoulders and shake you harshly. Please, understand!

'You are my friend!' I say again.

Your head falls in your neck. You don't even have the strength to move anymore.

'But I'm not human...-' you say.

'You are my friend damn it!'

I wrap my arms around you as tight as I can and start sobbing. The tears will not stop flowing and my chest feels so heavy, I can't breathe properly.

Oh Crow, why are you thinking like this? Before, you were so self-confident, so completely carefree. Don't leave me, please, you are my only friend in this world. I don't want to be alone again. I have just found you...

'I'm your friend. Come on, don't cry now.' You say with sadness in your voice.

I try to stop my shaking and the tears, but my heart feels like its going to burst, I can't stop.

Finally you call yourself my friend again. Did I get through to you?

'Heh, it's sorta funny. I'm almost jealous that you are able to cry. But really, thats enough already'.

Your voice is filled with deep emotions, so soothing as I remembered. I don't want to let go of you, please stay with me.

'Oh yeah...that skull ring I gave you...you still carrying it around?'

'Y-yeah, I keep it in my locket'.

That ring became my most priced possession, I would always look at it and remember our meeting at the theme park. It became so very precious to me, for it was the only memento I have of you.

'That's good. That ring is proof of our friendship....our friendship.'

Your voice becomes only a whisper at the end...we are running out of time. I feel it and I can not stop tightening my hold around you even more.

'You know...you're the first real friend I ever had.' I whisper in your ear.

Suddenly you stop moving. Your body becomes rigid.

'You are my number one friend, my best friend.'

Your voice changes in tone. It sounds like a voice recorder and I cant help to break out in tears again. Only a little while longer and I will never be able to hear your voice again...and I want to tell you something so bad. Now the chance has passed...

'My best friend'

You repeat again. Monotonous.

'My best friend.'

Each syllable is stabbing right through my heart. Your eyes are so emotionless, you are not seeing anything...

'My best friend.'

I feel a part of me dieing along with you. You already hold my heart in your hands.

'My best friend.'

No! Please don't leave me alone...I have to tell you something...I-I...

I feel you move weakly in my strong hold. Your eyes shined the last time with such affection and love...

'Thank you...for everything...Seto...'

And you go lax in my embrace. Your eyes close and I know you are gone...dead.

'I ... I love you ...Crow.'

I whisper and hope, that somehow you had heard me. I can't part from you just yet. I hold your lifeless body within my arms and sob and plead for you to come back to me. After hours I fall asleep by your side, our bodies tangled together, as if we are one.

In the little while I was able to meet you, Crow, you were already in my heart and held dear within.

It doesn't matter that you are a doll ... I don't care about that at all...you became my best friend...even more than that...I fell in love with you. All these discarded dolls around me...they had shut down...but you...you... died.
