Ryou’s Point of View
-
“This is the
ancient stone tablet of the Pharaoh,” Isis explained to me. I stared at the
stone carvings with wide eyes. It was magnificent. Truly remarkable.
She pointed
to the man on the left. “Does that remind you of anybody?”
I stifled a
gasp. “That looks just like my friend, Yugi!”
“He’s the
kid who holds the Millennium Puzzle, right?” Marik asked.
“That’s
right,” Isis responded gracefully.
“I can’t
believe it…” I said breathlessly. “What does this all mean?”
Isis tilted
her head thoughtfully. “I don’t know, exactly.”
“You know
that multi-billionaire, Seto Kaiba?” Marik asked suddenly.
“He goes to
my school,” I replied carefully.
&nbs[end[endif]>
“That’s
him, on the right.”
“Are you
serious?” I inquired, awed. “That really does look like him!”
Yugi
would be thrilled to see this! I thought excitedly. He’s been
searching forever for a clue like this about his Millennium Puzzle!
But then I
remembered Yugi and I were fighting. He wouldn’t speak to me anymore, unless it
was to convince me not to meet my online friends.
Oh well,
it’s his loss.
Yugi
doesn’t know his elbow from his arse.
“Ryou, are
you okay?” Isis asked.
“I’m fine,”
I told her. “I was just thinking.”
“About
what?”
“My
friend’s angry with me.”
“How come?”
“I met you
guys.”
“Don’t listen
to him,” she advised. “He’s probably just jealous of you.”
“You’re
right.”
“Come on,”
Marik urged. “Let’s go see the next Egyptian exhibit.”
“You going
to be all right?” Isis asked me.
“Yeah.
Let’s go.”
We followed
Marik into the next room, joking and laughing as we went.
For the
first time in a long time, I felt at home.

Yugi’s Point of View
-
Ryou went
to meet Isis and Marik today.
He went to
meet them in person.
Is he
crazy?!
He went to
meet them in person!
How could
he do such a thing?
How could
Ryou’s dad let him go through with this?
Does his
father even know?
What if he gets
hurt? Mugged? Killed?!
If
something happened to Ryou, I’d never forgive myself.
Never.

Isis’ Point of View
-
Ryou,
Marik, and I have been hanging out at the museum, viewing the various exhibits
and artifacts, and taking special interest in the ones of Egyptian origin. I’ve
been having a great time, mostly, and Ryou seems to be enjoying himself, too.
But the
entire time, the whole issue with Stefano has been nagging at me. I feel like
hanging out with Ryou is betraying Stefano, and at the same time, I feel like I
am betraying Ryou by not telling him about Stefano.
Marik had
to go to the bathroom, leaving me alone with Ryou. Though, now that I think
about it, Marik went to the bathroom before we left for the museum, and he
hasn’t had anything to drink since then. He seemed kind of upset when he left
us…I’ll have to ask him about it later…
Ryou smiled
at me shyly, his eyes brightening as our gazes locked.
“I’ve been
having a great time, Isis,” he told me. “I’m glad you convinced me to meet you
in person.”
I smiled
faintly. No, please don’t make this any harder for me, Ryou! I pleaded
silently.
“Those
Egyptian artifacts were amazing,” he remarked.
“Yeah,” I
agreed.
This is
it. Now or never.
“Ryou…I
have something to tell you.”
“What is
it, Isis?” he asked me, his eyes filled with concern.
“I…I love
someone else…”
Ryou stared
at me, shock, hurt, and disbelief all evident in his eyes. His mouth hung
slightly open. “Pardon me?”
“I love
you, but I love someone else…”
“I…I don’t
understand.” His voice was shakinp>
p>
“I wish I
could be with both of you,” I explained hastily, “but I can’t. I have to choose
one of you. And I want to be with Stefano.”
Ryou turned
away and ran.
“Ryou!” I
screamed, praying my voice would stop him.
What
have I done??

Author’s Notes: Um, yeah…that was rushed…gah, that
sucked…
Reviewer Responses: (Chapter 4)
Isis thinking of someone other than Ryou:
(DreamingChild) Yes, I agree…Isis must be crazy to choose some other jerk-off over
sweet Ryou. Ah, but we can’t always choose who we love, even if in Isis’ case,
her head’s just not on right…
Internet friends: (Princess of Mirrors) I do believe
that talking to people from fanfiction. net is the lesser of some evils,
because most pedophiles prey on people in regular chat rooms (I mean,
logically, most people would not go through all the trouble of creating a
profile, writing stories, and reviewing peoples’ work, etc.). I even admit that
I do occasionally speak to people from the fanfiction sites I am registered at,
but it’s usually either to work on a co-authored fic or to say something like,
“Hey, I think your fic is really awesome…” I just refuse to get personal with
them. Sometimes people come to me with problems, whether their writing-related
or personal, and I’ll listen and try to help them, but I go to my real friends
for help when I need it. I am really against developing a personal relationship
with people met online, because in a lot of the cases it only causes trouble.
And that’s basically what’s happening in this story: Ryou develops a
relationship with online friends that are just too close, and it has
devastating effects on his mental/social health. It also has detrimental
repercussions on his real life friends. Which is basically what happened to my
group. Everyone started falling apart, and it ruined friendships. That’s what
I’m trying to portray.
Detail: (Princess of Mirrors) I will do my best to
add more details in the story. My memory is a bit hazy (at least about the beginning),
but as I go on, hopefully everything will be much more detailed.
