A Repeat of the Past

Liviana sat in Bakura’s living room watching the television with Bakura beside her with his arm around her shoulder. She looked sideways at him, he was fidgety, she was sure he was trying to say something, but wasn’t going to press him about it. She leaned back and looked over at him only to find him staring at her.

“Liviana…there was something I wanted to ask you…I mean, you don’t have to, I understand if you don’t, but…well, I was wondering if…will you move in here with me?” he asked suddenly. Liviana looked at him in shock, she hadn’t been expecting that at all. Bakura looked back at the television and blushed, “Don’t worry, it’s a stupid idea…I don’t know what I wa-” he began before being cut off by a kiss. Liviana pushed him back on the sofa and lay beside him,

“Yes.” She replied before kissing him again.

“What do you mean married?” Joey shouted down the phone. Mai sighed and looked over to the kitchen where Joey was talking to Serenity, “Engaged? Married? What’s the difference? You better come back here, mum’s gonna go mad when she finds out! What? Of course I love you, that’s why I don’t want you marrying that…never mind. Sorry, I just…you’re my sister Serenity and I’m supposed to look out for you, how can I do that when you’re a million miles away?” Joey asked, calming down. There was silence for a long while, “Ok, see you next summer.” Joey replied before hanging up the phone. Joey entered the room and slumped on the sofa beside Mai, who looked over at him.

“It’s not the end of the world Joey, she’s not that far away, and she’s with Ishizu too.” Mai pointed out. Joey sighed, but seemed a little happier as he leaned back,

“Yeah…I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.” He replied more to himself than to Mai.

“I wish you weren’t leaving.” Yugi said as he walked through the train station with Sabrina, who was going back to her mother. She sighed and looked at the train, which would leave soon. She had a backpack on and a single case, which Yugi was pulling. She took the case and lifted it up.

“Me too, but I’ll be back, I promise.” She replied as she leaned down a little and kissed Yugi swiftly. There was an announcement for final passengers and Yugi released her from his hug.

“Well, good bye.” He said, Sabrina smiled sadly and turned, walking towards the train. Yugi watched until she was on the train, she sat by the window and looked at him. He held up a hand as the train began to move away, seeing tears fall down her face. We’ll see her again. Yami assured as Yugi left the station, yeah…next summer isn’t too far away. Yugi replied.

“I don’t understand.” Kaiba said as Tea packed her last case and carried it downstairs, Kaiba close behind. At the door the taxi driver took her case for her, leaving her to say good-bye to Kaiba.

“Think about it, everything was just a repeat of the past. It had all happened before and was supposed to happed again.” She began. Kaiba nodded, he had figured that much out, “Don’t you understand? We don’t really love each other, it was just the past re-playing itself, I don’t know why, but how can we stay together? All we have are feelings from a past life.” She replied as she began to walk towards the taxi, Kaiba followed and took her wrist, pulling her back to him,

“But I do love you.” He replied urgently, feeling tears welling in his eyes. Tea smiled sadly, a tear falling down her cheek. She pulled her hand out of his grip and place a hand on his chest.

“I’ll always be here then.” She replied before getting into the taxi and driving away. Kaiba stood and watched the taxi leave, absently raising his hand to the spot she hand touched, feeling somehow that she was now a part of him.
