Personal thoughts

**********************Yami's P.O.V.********************

// Yugi!! //

Silence. Nothing.

He never closes our connection anymore. Something is wrong. Very wrong. The only things that can close our connection is if he is unconscious or…No! Yugi is not dead. I would feel it if Yugi was dead. My heart would know. He is alive.

He ran out of the house to search for his aibou.

**Two blocks down the street**

********************Ryou's Point of View****************

Ryou didn't want to go home. His classes had ended over two hours ago. He was wandering around campus. He looked up to see Yugi walking towards his apartment. He also saw what was sneaking up on Yugi.

"Yugi, look out!"

Too late. He watched as his friend was hit over the head with the broad side of a sword. Yugi fell unconscious on the sidewalk.

\ Bakura! \

\\ … \\

\ Someone is trying to hurt Yugi! \

\\ Where are you? \\

\ About two blocks from his apartment. \

\\ How did you get all the way over there? That is clear across campus. You shouldn't be over there. \\ Bakura growled.

\ I was wandering around thinking. Gomen. \

Bakura was running to catch the attacker. Please let me catch them. But will I be able to stop them? He pulled his deck out of his pocket ready to call onto a monster. But, which one?

\\ Leave him. He is his Yami's concern. Not yours. \\

\ But… \

\\ No buts Ryou. Get home now. \\

Ryou watched as Yugi was pulled into a warp tunnel that was created in the air by the monster. He wasn't going to make it.

"Yugi!"

A few seconds later Ryou heard someone running. It was Yami. He turned to watch the portal close behind the disappearing figure. Poor Yugi.

\ Why would you not let me try to rescue him \ Ryou asked his yami angrily through their mind connection.

\\ He is Yami's concern. \\

\ But I could have at least tried to help. \\

" Ryou, what was that? Have you seen Yugi?"

" Yes, I have. I…I couldn't save him. I was too slow. A monster knocked him unconscious and pulled him into that portal you saw disappear." Ryou was crying by now.

\\ Ha. Look at you. A grown man crying like a baby. You are a weakling. \\

\ Shut up, Bakura. I don't need to listen to you right now. \ Ryou snapped in his head.

Inside Ryou something was starting to slip.

"Ryou…Ryou!" Yami was yelling into his ear.

" Uh, what?"

"Stop talking to your stupid yami and tell me what happened."

" I just did. A monster hit Yugi on the head with a big broadsword and pulled him into that portal." He slid his deck back into his pocket.

" What did he look like?"

"Um…" Ryou thought for a second. The monster had looked familiar. Then he remembered. " He sort of looked like the Celtic Guardian except he had brown hair and red armor."

" Brown hair and red armor…It can't be. It just can't! I locked them away centuries ago."

" Who, Yami?"

" The Devil Monsters."

\\ What!? \\

\ You've heard of them, Bakura? \\

\ Of course I have, damn it! \

" They were the evil Duel Monsters. Monsters that could not be controlled without great magic. Not even I could control them. I did not even have that power."

" How did you stop them then? "

" I trapped them into the Continual Void. I thought I had sealed them away forever. Someone broke through my spell!"

" Who could have such power, Yami?"

" I don't know."

\\ Ryou, get home now! \\

"I have to get home, Yami." Ryou growled.

" I need to go call the others. We are going to need everyone together for this. As I said before, I am not strong enough to face them on my own. But together, with the heart of the cards, we should be able to defeat them. Meet me at the library at 8:00 tonight. And bring Bakura. Even if you have to hog-tie him, get him there."

" I am not sure if that is going to be possible."

" Just do it!" Yami snapped back. Then he ran back towards his apartment to call Jou and the others.

Everyone snaps at me. They order me around. I am so sick of being treated like this. I am not a lap dog for people to order around.

It shifted even more. A black haze was beginning to form in front of his eyes. He boarded a bus to go back home.

__________________________________________________

Twenty minutes later Ryou walked into his condominium. Only to be attacked by Bakura. He was hit upside the head with a fist. He head hit the wall with a 'thunk'. Pain exploded. I am not a rag doll to be beaten up. Yugi is in danger. My first real friend. The haze began to grow in front of his eyes. He welcomed the feeling of anger.

Bakura was kicking him senseless and yelling, "What the hell did you think you were doing? You are weak. You could have done nothing. Pathetic. You could not have saved him."

It snapped.

*********************Bakura's P.O.V.*******************

He did not mean to treat his light like this. He tried to stop. What is it that makes me want to beat him almost to death? He could have been taken today. The monster could have taken him, too.

* You were worried about him. You knew he was too weak to take on that monster alone. You were protecting him. You are trying to make him stronger. *

But does it have to hurt him. Why can't I stop?

Then he felt something snap inside his head. No, not in my head. Ryou?"

\\ Ryou? \\

I..I can't sense my light. He is laying on the ground looking up at me, but I can't feel him. Why? Wait…what is wrong with his eyes!?

Suddenly Bakura found himself smashed up against the wall by superhuman strength. He couldn't move. He stared into the eyes of Ryou. Except they were not his eyes. These eyes were black as night. Something stirred inside Bakura and it took him a second to realize what it was.

Fear.

His throat was being squeezed like a grape. He couldn't breathe. Ryou was choking him to death. The world went black.
