A./N: For those of you don't know... I'm writing this with a broken arm... I had to take some time off... three months to be exact. But I'm Back!!!

The Story is moving a lot slower than I had hoped... so time to stir things up... enjoy!

~*~*~

The looks on their faces were priceless... Ryou was here too? But... he hadn't come with them... did Bakura force him here? How could Ryou Bakura... hikari to the evil bastard Yami Bakura... be here?

The tall young blonde named Jou, slammed his fist down, he was also the first to speak on the subject of Ryou. “We have to find him! We just have to! Who knows what that asshole is doing to him.”

Everyone knew Jou was right... they just had to find him, and it was race against time. “But where are going to look?” Yuugi asked softly.

Atemu who was still cleaning himself from the earlier events of this week and thinking about how Bakura had taken the Millennium Puzzle and had let him fall to his death, seeing his father again. He sighed, he had never been so confused. What was Bakura's problem anyway? All he knew was Bakura was a monster... and he felt sorry for Ryou. He wondered how Ryou was doing and how badly Bakura was treating him and then it hit him. He looked up at his friends and interjected, “Everywhere. I'll send out all the men I can spare to find him. I won't let Bakura harm another person... ever.”

Like he had promised he called every guard he could spare, about 1,000 and sent them to search every mountain, every valley, every village and every body of water. The search was ordered to go as far as four sunsets from the palace. Thin pale boy with white hair.

Everyone was hoping their friend would be found before Bakura did something... horrible. “Somethings been bugging me for a while,” Anzu interjected. “How did Ryou-kun get here?” She ran her hand through her chocolate brown hair... things had just gone from bad to worst to horrific. Everyone's stress level was rising. The only one who wasn't on verge of a mental breakdown was Mana and only because she had no idea what was going on or so they thought.

~*~*~

Ryou sat on the waters edge, his feet splashing in the warm pool of water. Bakura hadn't spoken to him since he returned with the Millennium Puzzle. Bakura acted as if his hikari didn't exist. Ryou gave a defeated sigh he knew had killed... oh what was his name... anyways he couldn't understand how Bakura could be so evil.

He wasn't sure what he said or did to make his Yami angry, or if he was even angry at all. Bakura was too hard to figure out, because once you think you know what he's going to do next, he does something different. The only thing Ryou knew for sure was the Bakura sitting against the wall in the cave, was not the cool, caring, affectionate, egotistical Yami no Bakura he knew. It was as if Bakura had lost all method and had just stop thinking about himself, about Ryou and only cared about what he was going to do next with the royal kingdom and Yami Yuugi.

The thing that terrified Ryou the most was he didn't feel safe anymore, not even around Bakura, not like he used to. He had felt safer around the old abusive Bakura then he did right at this moment.

Ryou wasn't sure how much more he could take before he snapped. At least when Bakura beat him... he existed. It may have been negative, it may have been horrible but Bakura had acknowledged his existence with every punch.

The Millennium Ring was still cool to the touch, he held the useless Item in his hand and stared at it. This was the Ring from his time... and in this time... couldn't do anything... in this time it was just a piece of gold. He wished this item... his Millennium Ring to show him what he was suppose to do next. Where was he supposed to go from here? Should he go to Bakura about his concerns?

Ryou tried to stop the tears from falling. Maybe... maybe Bakura would be better off if he just left. That way he wouldn't be a burden.
~*~*~

-How do you know he won't turn on you when he comes face to face with the pharaoh?-

~To be honest I don't know, he promised he wouldn't....~

-Take him to your village with you... let him see what they did to your family... you told him... now show him, show him everything! He's seen what the Pharaoh ordered his seen to do... now show him what they did to you.-

Bakura's eyes fluttered open, he didn't notice, but Ryou did, Ryou noticed the colour bleeding away from his Yami's eyes. Slowly changing into cold and black.

All he knew is something was going on; something wasn't right anymore. He was backed into a corner with the situation, he couldn't go to Yami for help, he couldn't go to anyone. He just couldn't risk it; Bakura would take it as betrayal. Ryou looked at Bakura, was just sitting leaning against the stony wall staring off into space. Ryou inhaled deeply, he wasn't even sure what he going to say.

“Bakura?”

-Oh look your pretty little lover is talking to you... oh wait... you haven't fucked him yet.-

~Shut up~

“What do you want?” Bakura hissed under his breath, sounding more vicious then intended. He focused his gaze on Ryou. Ryou looked away, doing everything in his power to keep from screaming, the crimson in Bakura's eyes was almost gone. “I asked you a question!” He was harsh, so harsh Ryou flinched, something he hadn't done in months.

Bakura mentally kicked himself, his voice was changing. He hoped that Ryou hadn't noticed, but he knew better. He had seen Ryou flinch and it stung. He would do anything to make Zork vanish... but now... now the line between himself and Zork was beginning to blur, there was nothing left for him to do.

“I... I... I don't want to left behind anymore... please take me with you. Please!” Ryou let it all out, he had no control, and yet he still couldn't bring himself to look Bakura in the eyes. “Something wrong with you, you're changing. I don't even recognize you anymore. I love you and I wish you would tell me what's going on, I want to help you. I want to help you beat Yami Yuugi! You're gone for days sometimes week and I don't know if you know but I worry about you every minute your gone! And... and... If you leave me here alone again....” He found it in him to stare right into Bakura's eyes and uttered his sentence as a whisper; his voice full of hurt and rejection. “I won't be here when you get back!” Ryou turned around and left, tears streaming down his beautiful face.

Bakura was stunned. Seconds turned to minutes, minutes to hours and yet he was froze in place as Ryou's words sank in. He knew he should have gone after Ryou and he wanted to, but he couldn't move. All he could do was lower his head. His bangs covered his eyes. Everything hit him at once. He had been so wrapped up in revenge and hatred at he had forgotten all about Ryou, he didn't even think about what he had been doing to Ryou's mentality and yet the boy had said he loved him. A single tear fell to the dirt.

As the hours passed Bakura sat motionless, he was lost in the emotional war he was battling. He was finally pulled from his depressed state when Ryou's end of the mind link went into lock down. Ryou had never closed his mind off like this before, not even during or after the beatings... never! Bakura was on his feet in record time and ran out outside of his home away from home. He scanned every surface but Ryou was gone.

The sun was setting... the sun was... 'Oh dear Ra no!' Ryou wasn't from this time, and wouldn't live though the night on his own, the temperatures were sub-zero after night fall. He whistled for Kuru-Eruna, he wasted no time in beginning his search for his hikari-baka. He had no idea how much time had passed since Ryou left... what if he was too late?

~*~*~

Atemu sighed as the situation with Bakura, and the events of the last few days played at his thoughts. Bakura had the Ring, the Eye, and The Puzzle, he had murdered his best friend, and only Ra knows what he was doing to his poor hikari. He just couldn't get he subject out of his mind. The sun was going to rise soon... another sleepless night.

He just couldn't understand why Bakura hated him, and his family so much. They hadn't done anything to him... had they? There was something someone wasn't telling him, he knew that much. What had his father done to Bakura that was so horrible? It had to be something his father did as Bakura was only ten years older than he was.

He was glad he had Anzu, Yuugi, Honda and Jou here with him. Maybe they could help him figure this out. He was pulled from his thoughts by the sound of footsteps running towards him.

“Pharaoh...,” Atemu turned upon hearing his name, a young guard stood before him panting and gasping for air, “we found a boy in the desert... he has a Millennium Item!”

“What?”

“The healer says he won't make it to dawn....”

~*~*~

Kisara looked away. She's couldn't watch it anymore. This was wrong, this wasn't supposed to happen. Something was wrong with Bakura and now everything was ruined. Ryou was missing... all because of Bakura's stupidity. There had to be something she and Mana could do to fix this... wait does Mana even know? She dragged her hand through her long white hair all that work all those months again... and it was falling apart.

She began pacing she wasn't sure how she was suppose to handle this. She would have to get a hold of Mana, then they could ask....

“Kisara... it's Zork! He's what's wrong with Bakura!” Mana yelled as she burst through the doors of room Seth had placed his “friend” in.

Kisara was jolted from her thoughts and stared at Mana in disbelief, “How do you know... what are you talking about.”

“You know that creepy guy who had the Millennium Eye before Bakura took it?” Kisara nodded and listened she was unsure on were her dark haired friend was going with this. “Well I over heard him on my way here he was talking about how it was almost time for Zork to rise, and that Bakura had been the prefect vessel for Zork as Bakura's hate had no bounds... but I don't know who or what Zork is... but he's bad.” Mana stopped and gasped for air, she was talking so fast she had forgot about breathing.

“So that's what he's been hiding! Oh Great Bakura.... we're on to you! Now it's time to get you and Ryou back together....” Kisara was more then prepared now... and with the help of Mana and their secret weapon.... Zork's days were numbered. But first they had to get Bakura and Ryou back as they were... She only wished she knew where Ryou was.She felt bad for Ryou... being lost in desert all alone... Ryou knew nothing outside the Oasis. How was she going to explain she lost Ryou to her master.

“Oh, and Kisara... you are not going to believe what I'm going to tell you next!”
