Ryou had run right into his yami, "Gomen, Bakura-sama." Ryou apologized quickly backing away from the spirit, hoping that he had not angered him. Why you ask? Well pissing Bakura off was like poking a hornet's nest with a stick… it was something you just didn't do.

"Stupid baka!" Bakura snarled, before smacking his hikari across the face. "Turn the lights back on." Bakura ordered he took a step towards the trembling hikari standing before him.

"I can't do that… it's impossible, we'll have to wait for the storm to stop and the power company to turn the lights back on." Ryou answered, trying not to shake, but his yami scared him. His yami was everything he wasn't; strong, brave, smart, unbelievably hot, powerful, drop dead sexy and evil. Ryou had always feared the darkness... just the thought being left alone scared him. He wasn't sure what he feared more... Bakura or the darkness.

Anyways it was this fear of Ryou's that was about to set off a chain of events unlike anything anyone could have thought possible… lets watch and see what happens!

"Worthless hikari…," Bakura muttered under his breath. He walked by his hikari heading towards the den. Bakura froze when he felt something brush against his arm; he realized Ryou had grabbed a hold of his arm.

"Please… Bakura-sama… don't leave me alone in the dark… please?" Ryou begged his yami, of course this just plain shocked the evil spirit. Why was he shocked? Well lets look at what's happening here:

Ryou is holding onto Bakura's arm for dear life.

Ryou doesn't want Bakura to leave.

Ryou feels safer around his abusive yami then he does alone…

Thus Bakura was shocked! He could barely make out his hikari's face, but he could see pure fear on what was visible. Bakura really wasn't sure how to handle this: should he stay with his annoying hikari or just hit the boy side the head and leave.

Bakura tried to pull his arm free of the boy's grasp, but found it an impossible feat. Ryou had his arm locked in a death grip. You know the 'If I let go I'm going to be eaten by a pack of wild dogs' type of death grip.

"Stupid hikari… let go before I-" The spirit almost jumped out of his skin when Ryou let go his arm only to wrap his arms around him. Ryou was locked in, and he wasn't letting go.

In 5000 years a life NOTHING like this had ever happened before. Usually people ran the opposite direction of him… not try to get closer. Maybe his hikari was doing some sort of drugs while he wasn't around…-

Shadow MagicHe sensed it. Just for a minute…

"Please! I don't want to starve to death, I don't want to die!" Ryou begged over-exaggeratedly as he buried his face into Bakura's chest. The spirit was, needless to say, completely stunned. This was getting weirder and weirder. He was also getting angry. But he did not forget about that he felt minutes earlier.

Ryou didn't care anymore. He didn't care if his yami would beat him senseless. He didn't care if his yami was a murderer. He didn't care if he was trapped, and he was too scared to care.

"Hikari!" Bakura tried to sound deadly, but it had no effect on his hikari. What could be scarier then him?

Bakura decided to invade the boy's mind and find out what had his hikari so spooked. As soon as he entered the boy's soul room he was flooded with 'what if's' and fears, "Pathetic…," Bakura glanced at each of Ryou's fears in order, only to find Ryou's fear of him was one of the last things he was scared of at this moment in time.

The spirit was now very puzzled. If his hikari was right, about freezing to death or starving to death, it meant he would die as well, which was not an option! He had to gather the Millennium Items and take over the world, take his revenge on the pharaoh and spend the rest of his immortal life ruling the world alone. Since he knew very little on this situation he would probably have to use his hikari to help him, or help his hikari…

Bakura returned to reality, "Hikari… how long do you think the 'power' will be out?" He asked, trying to pry his hikari off of him.

"At least f-f-five… days. That's how long this st-storm is s-suppose to l-last." Ryou mumbled into Bakura's black button up shirt.

"Hmm… let go of me." Bakura ordered, "Now!" He snapped. Finally Ryou loosen his grip, now it seemed like Ryou was hugging him, which was strange… a new feeling washed over him, a feeling that told him this felt good. He didn't like this feeling. "If you die, I die… it's not happening." Bakura stated. He died once! It wasn't happening again, besides he could do this, it was just like living back in Egypt. He might not know much about today's electrical devices, but he knew how to survive without them. Since he didn't have microwaves and ovens growing up. After this was over with he could continue being the evil cold heartless monster he was, and no one would be the wiser. Simple.

Ryou finally moved away from Bakura. Thankfully for Ryou, it was dark and Bakura couldn't see the huge blush on his face. After his face returned to it's normal colour he spoke. "If we can find the candles they will give us enough light to see." Ryou's thick British accent lingered in Bakura's ears. Something wasn't right.

"Hikari… where are these 'candles'?" Bakura asked as he started pacing around the kitchen. The snow was still falling, and the sun was going down. It was a bad combo… with no source of heat… this wasn't looking good.

"I think there in the cupboard by the 'fridge." Ryou whispered absentmindedly as Bakura walked by him again heading toward said cupboard. Bakura suspicions increased every minute… something didn't fit… something about this situation just wasn't right, he couldn't pace his finger on it. Who was using Shadow Magic? He wasn't, that was for sure. It certainly wasn't Ryou. Who ever had used it was close. Probably some where's in the apartment complex. Could another holder of a Millennium Item be near by?

Ryou was completely clueless about what the spirit had sensed and that was how it was going to stay. The last thing he needed was Ryou foiling his plans again. Twice was enough. Ryou had a habit of betrayal.

Bakura realized he didn't even know what a 'candle' looked like… Ryou also must have figured this out because he started looking through the cupboard. Bakura stood back and watched his hikari. It was then he sensed the flicker of Shadow Magic again. If there was a Millennium Item near by… which one was it? It was too weak to be the puzzle or the rod. It wasn't the eye. It certainly wasn't the ring. That left the key, scales and necklace. Shadi was too powerful to allow his items be sensed so that left the necklace, which was with Yugi… the holder of the puzzle. Wait… that didn't work… that meant… there had to be another source of Shadow Magic… If the Shadow Realm existed for 10,000 years then maybe there was another source… there was only one way to find out…

Little did Bakura know that this power outage was just the beginning of the series of misfortunate events that was about to plague him and his hikari! Nor did Bakura realize that the Shadow Magic he was sensing was the cause of these misfortunate events… poor Bakura…

Remember that back in Bakura's time... they weren't called candles....
