Personal Thoughts

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

It feels like paper cuts. Hundreds of tiny burning paper cuts. And that is just a little of what he did to me.

The pain had been excruciating. The things Ryou had done to him were inhumane. Bakura had not even gone that far.

Ever.

When did my light grow so violent? What caused this dark side to release? Have I done that much wrong to him? I am a fool. I was only trying to make him stronger.

I don't want to loose him. What will happen to him if I am not there to protect him one day? I would not survive without him. I cannot remember when I started to love him. I...love him? I love him!

I did this. I brought this on myself.

I have to get him back.

He is downstairs. I can sense him now. But it is all dark. He stopped after I fell unconscious. What do I do?

" Focus on the light." A female voice said softly in his head.

" What?" he responded back mentally.

" Focus on the light and goodness you have inside of you. That you have unknowingly learned to cherish because of Ryou. The piece of light contained inside of you that he told you about. The yin and yang. Focus, Bakura. Bring out his light to fight the dark inside of him."

" Who are you?"

" A being that watches over you, and all of your friends. As we could not fight, we chose you and your friends to fight for us."

" Being? Fight for you? Who could.....Isis?"

" Yes, Bakura. I am Isis. In the battle to come you and Ryou must be one. The Fates have foreseen it. Bring him back, Bakura. You know how."

" Yes, your majesty."

" Good luck, Bakura. Be with you love and be happy."

" Thank you."

He was out of the handcuffs in a flash. He hadn't been a tomb robber for nothing. After being released from the Millennium ring he had quickly studied the modern forms of capture and containment. He had learned how to escape from nearly every trap created. His pain was forgotten.

He crept down the stairs slowly. He masked his presence as best he could from Ryou.

No telling how powerful he is now. I have to bring him back. Isis and Ryou have both told me I have light inside of me. I never knew that. I knew there was something wrong when I could not kill Ryou in the past. Back then, I would have tried to destroy that light. Now I need to use it. I have to use it. I want my light back.

Ryou was sitting on a chair facing the window. Bakura glanced outside to see squirrels dancing on the trees outside. What is he doing?

His question was answered when he saw Ryou lift his hand and act like he was squeezing or choking something.

The squirrels exploded.

What the fuck!? He just killed those squirrels. Shit!

"Ryou!" He tackled him from behind, forcing him off of the chair and to the ground. Ryou started struggling.

His dark side must have given him more strength. I can barely hold him down. Focus, Bakura, you fool!

"Ryou, listen to me. Listen! Listen to my voice. I am not going to hurt you. Now or ever again. I know that I have hurt you in the past. I am sorry. I did not mean for things to go this way. I was just trying to make you stronger." Ryou stopped struggling to turn his head and look into Bakura's eyes. "Believe me."

As he was talking he was focusing inside of himself. He discovered something that he had never seen before. It was a small glowing pocket of white power.

Light.

The darkness of his soul looked like it trying to attack it. No......it is...protecting it. My soul is protecting the piece of light that I have!

He grabbed hold of it. It was now or never.

"Ryou, focus. Look into my eyes and you will see that I speak the truth. I will never hurt you again. Ryou, aibou, come back to me. Please. You know this is not you. Control the anger in your soul. Focus on your light. Draw what you need from me. I have found the light of which you told me. You are strong. I know you are. I was just too blind to see it. Aibou, focus.

He felt the shifting inside of Ryou. The dark haze in Ryou's eyes was starting to flicker.

He's fighting!

*******************Ryou's P.O.V.***********************

Inside Ryou's body a little being was listening. It was the real Ryou. He had been shoved down by something inside of his own soul. He had tried to fight back but couldn't. He had seen what his out of control body and soul had done to Bakura. He had wanted to get sick, but couldn't. He had been forced to watch.

This is not right! What has taken control of me? All I see is black. I am on the ground now. Someone is talking to me. Bakura?

He is telling me to fight. But what am I fighting?

"Ryou, aibou, come back to me. Please. Control the anger in your soul. Focus on your light. Draw what you need from me. I have found the light of which you told me. You are strong. I know you are. I was just too blind to see it. Aibou, focus."

Aibou? He has never called me that. I can feel something in him. He does have light. He is sending me the light that he has.

This is not me. The darkness had taken control. This is evil. I will not be like this. I will not hurt my friends. I will help find Yugi. I will not hurt Bakura. I love him!

Ryou focused on Bakura and slowly began to draw the power he felt into himself. He felt the dark try to fight back for control over his body, but he would not let it.

I am strong. Bakura said so. I will not let him down!

With a bright flash, Ryou took back control of his body. The dark piece of soul was where it belonged.

He was back.

" Bakura!" He flung his arms up and around his yami's neck.

" Ryou! I knew you could do it." He hugged his light fiercely.

He is hugging me. How I have longed for this. I wish he loved me. I know now that he cares for me. I can feel it. I can sense it through our link. If I could only tell him that I loved him, and to have the feeling returned. He does not care for me like that. I would give myself to him completely…

Ryou sensed that Bakura was starting to feel uneasy about the position he was in. Bakura was physically laying on top of him. Ryou was face down. It was way too intimate.

Oh, I wish..... but he does not like me in that way. I wonder if Yugi ever admitted to Yami how he felt about him? Or if Yami has admitted his feeling to Yugi? They do not realize that both love each other. But, they both made me swear not to tell the other. They are lucky. Bakura would never love me.

"Um, Bakura. Turning my head like this is starting to hurt my neck. Do you mind getting up?"

" What? Oh, sorry." Bakura stood up quickly and flushed slightly.

" Bakura, are you okay?"

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

Damn! Damn! Damn! Now that he is back to his innocent self all I want to do is kiss him. It felt so good to have him underneath me. I swear I will never hurt him again. I will never let anyone else hurt him, either. If anyone touches him they will regret the day they were born.

" Bakura?"

" What is it?"

" Have you heard anything about Yugi?"

" No, I haven't."

" We were supposed to go to a meeting at the library at 8:00 about him. But, it is 10:37 now."

" If Yugi has been kidnapped by who Yami says, then I am not sure we want to face it. I have faced them in one lifetime, and barely survived. I don't want to again."

" Yami said something about Devil Monsters. Who are they?"

Bakura sighed. He then told Ryou his version of Yami's story.

**Twenty minutes later**

_____________________________________________________

" Who would be powerful enough to break through Yami's spell, Bakura?"

" I don't know."

" We should go help. Bakura, if the Devil Monsters are as powerful as you say then we need to help, too. Yami will need us. If we do not, then we could lose everything. It is not just about us anymore, but the whole world."

" I now see that you are right, aibou. We will go join this fight. Wait, why are you looking at me like that?"

Ryou had turned to stare at Bakura with a weird look on his face. It was a cross between a smile and a frown. Like he couldn't decide which face to show the world. " You called me aibou. I never thought you would call me that."

" I know. And for the way I have treated you. You have all the reason in the world to destroy me. All the reason to hate me."

" I am the one that should be hated. What I did to you while I was not in control of myself was inhumane. I will never hurt you again, Bakura."

"I would never hate you, Ryou. And, you were not at fault. You had every reason to do what you did to me. I could never hate you for it."

" Then, I could never hate you either. I forgive you for everything you have done to me. I have always forgiven you."

" I do not deserve it."

" You may believe that, but I do not." He gave his yami a quick hug around his waist. Really, it was just a reason to feel the strength in Bakura's body, but he would never admit it out loud. When he pulled back Bakura had a strange look on his face.

Why does he look like that? He looks like he is in pain for some reason. Did I do something wrong again? I shouldn't have hugged him. Maybe I should change the subject. "Let's go help the others now."

" They are most likely in the Shadow Realm looking for Yugi by now. Most likely at the Dark Magicians house."

" The Dark Magician has a house?"

" Yes, and his name is Oscuro."

" I learn something new every day." Ryou laughed.

" I should have shown you the levels of the Shadow Realm, hikari. I'm sorry that I didn't."

" It's okay, Yami." He called me hikari…

Bakura shook his head and chuckled much to Ryou's surprise. He focused and warped himself and Ryou to the Dark Magician's house.

They landed on top of something screaming very loudly.
