Twilight

Ryou's POV

I am Ryou. A Hikari. The Light.

Everywhere I go, people refer to me as the silver-haired boy. In fact, some even call me an angel.

How can I be an angel? How can I be the light? These things are pure. I am not.

I've had the Millennium Ring for some time now, and I know well the spirit that dwells within it.

A tomb robber.

My Yami.

A thief.

Bakura.

I might have been an angel once, but now my purity has been tainted. Tainted by blood and evil. These scars tell the tale that I cannot.

So why do so many people still call me the silver-haired angel?

Maybe it's because I've kept to the light. I have not let the darkness take over.

I am Ryou, the tainted light.

Bakura's POV

I am Bakura. A Yami. The Darkness.

When I first met Ryou, I thought he would be easy to manipulate. And he was. Like a puppet. Until he learned to be unafraid.

He longer feared me.

He no longer feared the darkness.

I've lost my touch. I can no longer ignore my conscience. I have inherited the light. And it's all Ryou's fault.

Ryou's spirit, his hope, his goodness, has leaked into my mind. I've grown soft, even learned to care for him.

But I daresay my darkness has also seeped into his soul.

He will never be the same again.

Neither will I.

But I will continue my rampage of darkness. Ryou's feelings and thoughts are not of my concern.

Yet his purity plagues my mind.

I am Bakura, the fading darkness.

Ryou: Bakura will never be able to take over my life.

Bakura: Darkness will always exist.

Ryou: The light shines bright.

Bakura: It is inevitable for people to get hurt.

Ryou: Friends, family and trust will keep me strong.

Bakura: For the brighter the light, the deeper the darkness.

Ryou: But I know the darkness will continue to try and consume.

Bakura: But the light will always hold the darkness at bay.

Ryou: I have the power within me to hold Bakura back.

Bakura: I have the power to destroy Ryou's soul.

Ryou: Render him powerless.

Bakura: Eradicate his existence for all eternity.

Ryou: But I will not.

Bakura: I cannot.

Ryou: For we are two souls

Bakura: dwelling in one body.

Ryou: Two opposites

Bakura: bound together by destiny.

Ryou: I am the light.

Bakura: I am the darkness.

Ryou and Bakura: And together we are twilight.
