Summary: How the men they love and the friends they care for truly react to the girls capture.

Chapter Seven

Left Behind

YUGI’S POV

I can’t believe there’re gone. My good friends, gone. Melanie, always happy, filled with joy, and so smart. Claire, so kind-hearted and joyous, nothing ever brought her down. And Kathy, she may act tough, but she has a good heart, and always sticking up for her friends.

I do miss them, all of them. I miss Melanie’s devious schemes. Claire’s ridiculous ideas to get couples together. And even Kathy’s attitude problem. I will help the others find them and hopefully, I pray that we’ll be able to help find this Umi girl so she can help Yami remember his ancient past. And after that, we’ll defeat Malik once and for all.

TEA’S POV

I still can’t believe that my best friends are gone. Melanie, Claire, Kathy, all gone, like they were erased from time and existence. I miss Melanie always trying to make things easier for us. I miss Claire always trying to cheer me up. And I miss Kathy always standing up for us like we’re her little sisters. I will help find them and hopefully we’ll be able to be happy again.

JOEY’S POV

I keep thinking this is a bad dream, that I’ll wake up and see her smiling face, telling me I just had a bad dream. I miss Claire so much; I miss her shining eyes, her warm lips, her strong body, and her sweet kisses. I know I have to stay strong for her, but it’s so hard, without her I feel like I’m the nothing that everyone says I am. I do miss Melanie and Kathy, it’s just I don’t love them the way I do for Claire. I miss Melanie’s mischievous ways, and I miss how Kathy was the only girl who could keep Kaiba in line.

I will save Claire and the other girls, and then I’ll give that jerk Malik a piece of my mind. And hopefully we’ll be able to get some more info about Yami’s past, as well as find pharaoh Umi and her millennium puzzle before Malik does.

TRISTAN’S POV

I hope we find the girls soon. I can see that it’s killing the others, especially Joey and Bakura. Joey really does love that girl with all his heart, I mean, I’ve seen him react around other girl, but it was nothing like the way he reacted when he saw Claire.

As for Bakura, you could tell in his eyes when he saw Melanie injured by Malik’s minions that he is in love with her. And when she was captured, Bakura looked like he was gonna kill someone. And Kaiba, he was hurt too when Kathy was gone, though he doesn’t show it, he really cares for her. I hope we find them soon.

BAKURA’S POV

This wasn’t supposed to happen. She was supposed to be with me forever, to be in my arms once again. I miss her so much, I miss her smile, her happy attitude, her electric kisses, and heck I even miss it when she gets angry. To be frank I don’t really care for the other two as much as I care for Melanie. Though I have to meet to other two can be very interesting to hang around with. I have lost you once again my darling Melanie; I have lost you once again because I wasn’t strong enough to protect you. I want you to be happy, I don’t want you to be alone anymore, all I want is you and you alone.

I will find you Melanie, I will save you, and then I’ll kill Malik. I don’t care about the millennium items anymore; all I care for is you and no one else.

KAIBA’S POV

Why did you leave Kathy? Why did you leave me? You weren’t supposed to go out by yourself and yet you did. I miss you; I miss you more than anything. Its hard to go on without you, everywhere I go I think of you and what you said to me the day you were captured, you said the only regret you had was not meeting me sooner. You gave me my first kiss that day too, but you ran because you didn’t know how I felt about you. I wish I had told you the truth Katherine, I wish I told you how I felt. I love you Kathy, from the very first moment I saw you, I think you even loved you before I meet you, you were in my dreams, you were the one I always wanted to be with.

I do miss Claire and Melanie, but you Kathy I miss the must. I will save you and the other and then I’ll make sure that Malik get what’s coming to him. And then I’ll tell you the truth and then you and me can be together.

YAMI’S POV

I still can’t believe what happened. My friends, the only ones who would help me with my past are gone. I want to find them, as well as hopefully find Umi. They are the only ones who know of my past. And as soon as well find them, I’ll make sure that Malik get what’s coming to him.
