Not Who They Seem To Be, Chapter 9

"Can he really go inside someone's mind?" Seto asked.

"I don't really know...I guess so. I mean, he wouldn't try if he couldn't, right?" Yugi said. He was worried for Bakura even if no one else was. He could tell by the looks on Joey, Tristan and Mai's faces that none of them cared what happened to Bakura. Yugi sighed sadly and walked over to the unconscious Yami.

"What happened to him?" Yugi asked.

"I don't really understand what happened. He was sleeping and all of a sudden he went crazy. But...Not long after I called you he said something about 'no, they can't love each other. Ryou must die.' It scared me."

"Yami said that?" Yugi asked with wide eyes. Seto nodded in confirmation.

"But it wasn't just his voice. Téa was more dominant when he said that. I think she has something against us, but I don't know what." Seto said. He sighed and joined Yugi next to Yami. He lifted Yami's head and placed it in his lap, stroking his hair. Yami started mumbling in his sleep.

"No...Get out...out of my head!" Yami cried. He started thrashing, unable to wake. Seto and the others looked at him worriedly.

"Bakura must be inside." Yugi said.

-

"Get out! I don't want you in here, you'll spoil everything!" A whiney voice came from what seemed like all directions. Bakura stood inside of Téa's mind, there wasn't anything there, just an endless darkness. It must be what a dieing person's mind looks like. Normally the place would be crowded with many things; Bakura knew she didn't have much longer.

"What are you doing? What do you mean, ruining everything?" Bakura called. Suddenly, Téa's form appeared in front of him. Same as always in her school uniform. Unfortunately, Bakura had a definite feeling she was pissed off and was worried what she might do.

"You...You're ruining my revenge!" She screeched. Bakura winced at her voice but continued to question.

"What do you mean? What revenge?" Bakura asked calmly. Téa began to cry.

"My revenge on all of you...You always left me out, everyone I loved never loved me back! You all just went around screwing each other senseless and never paid any attention to me!" She cried. "Now I'm getting revenge on Yugi, Yami and Ryou. They must die for hurting me." She said.

"Hurt you? How did they hurt you?" Bakura asked. He definitely didn't recall any occasion where Yami and two innocents hurt Téa. It just wasn't like them.

"I poured my heart out to them and they rejected me! All three of them and now they will pay!"

"You love them?" Bakura was still confused. All three of them? That didn't sound right.

"Of course! I told Yami and he rejected me. So I thought that I could see if Yugi would return my feelings and dump Joey. But he rejected me too!" Bakura started to get angry. She hurt them because she had an infatuation with Yami who was dating Seto, and then Yugi who was dating Joey. What did she expect? It was obvious that they were gay and would never go out with Téa. Bakura told her as much.

"That's what Yugi said! So I went to Ryou, and that little bastard told me he was in love with someone else and wouldn't tell me who! It was just a cover up so he wouldn't have to go out with me! I even went through the trouble of choosing him because he was the only one that wasn't dating anyone and who seemed straight. The bastards! They lied and broke my heart!" Téa screamed. Bakura got fed up.

"It's because you're a whiney little brat." Téa stopped her screeching. "They didn't lie to you and even if they did I'm sure it was with good reason. Ryou never lied to you, he is in love with someone else. He's in love with me. He wouldn't tell you because you and the others would have destroyed it for him. As for the other two, you deserved being rejected by them, for being so self centered and not caring about their happiness!" Bakura yelled. "You will pay, Téa. You will pay for hurting my love and his friends. You will pay dearly." Bakura hissed. Téa took a step back at the sight of Bakura. He was scarier than usual and definitely pissed off. Then he vanished and left Téa quivering in fear.

Outside of Téa's mind, Bakura stood and stared angrily at her before calling Yugi. He told Yugi about Téa's revenge and that they had to think of some way to stop her. They could let her die but it would be too late. Every second Yami was falling farther under her control. If they waited, he would die with her.

Yugi told Bakura to check on Ryou then get over to Seto's where they could think of a plan. Bakura denied and said he had one of his own, all he needed to do, was find a knife and make sure no one was around. Then he hung up on Yugi before the young boy could convince him not to.

"She will pay." Bakura hissed. Then he left the room and headed down the hall to see Ryou.

(Ryou's point of view.)

"'Kura?" I called out. I didn't get an answer. He was gone, left me to be alone in my misery no doubt. The lights above me buzzed and shone brightly, I shut my eyes tightly to block the painful light. Why hospitals bought these lights I had no clue, I'm sure they must be bad for your health.

"Ryou?" Bakura...He came back. But I didn't speak to him, I couldn't. I didn't know what to say to him. He wouldn't want me, no matter how much he said he loved me, there would always be that one obstacle in our way.

He could never make love to me.

Not that it was his fault, there was absolutely nothing wrong with him. It was me...I just couldn't let him. The incident with Yami has left me broken and used; I could never give my Yami something like that. I had always wanted him to be my first, but now that would never happen and I just couldn't get over it. I couldn't give him what he wanted, not unless I wanted another painful scar in my mind. I would never get the incident with Yami out of my head; it would be there forever, tormenting me. Who knows...Maybe I'll actually die the next time I try something like this. I really hope I do...

"Stop. I can't listen any more." My Yami said. I had forgotten that he was standing there. I chuckled softly.

"Then stop eavesdropping." I said bitterly.

"I can't. Not when you're thinking things like that. Don't you understand what I mean when I say I love you?" He asked.

"I know what it means." I responded. It's just what someone says to get you to let them take you. It happened to Yami and it happened to Yugi. I wouldn't let it happen to me.

"You don't understand. I don't love you for your body, Ryou. I love you for you. I love your mind...But you just don't understand. Yugi and Yami gave up their bodies willingly. No one took it from them and I would never do that to you. I couldn't bear to hurt you like that."

"Why? You're a Yami, and that's what Yugi's Yami did. So why should I believe what you say? You two are so much alike that I doubt you would do anything differently."

"That's not true!" He cried. I must have hit a nerve. "Even Yami didn't do what he did willingly. It's Téa, this is all her fault!" My Yami yelled. I was surprised. Téa? Things were definitely taking a twist.

But I wonder...What will happen next while I'm stuck sitting in this bed? Thoughts like that only frightened me but they wouldn't go away. Eventually I slept. A fear induced sleep that I didn't got into willingly, I didn't want to leave my Yami alone.

Not in the state he's in now.

A/N - Please r/r. Even though I know this one is kinda weird...I wrote it at lunch so I can rewrite it if it's too confusing. I can't really remember what I wrote-_-
