Chapter 1 - Target
Ryou's POV
As I walked through the Domino Park, I noticed it was deserted. My friend, Yugi Mutou called me and told me to meet him at the biggest tree in the park. As I walked further into the park, I noticed that there weren't many animals in the park. I kept searching for "the biggest tree", but I still couldn't find it.
"Ryou!"
I turned around and saw Yugi. He looked very cheerful. "Hey, Yugi." Yugi then walked towards me, with a huge smile on his face.
"Did you get lost?"
"Not really. I just couldn't find 'the biggest tree' you were talking about."
"Oh." Yugi then took my hand and ran. "C'mon! I want to show you something!" Yugi sounded very cheerful.
"Okay…" I wasn't so sure about this, but I kept running with Yugi. We then stopped at "the biggest tree" in the park, as Yugi said. "So this is where you wanted to take me?"
"Yep!" Yugi then pointed to a branch. "C'mon! Let's climb to that branch! I bet the view of the park is perfect there!"
"Sure." I walked towards the tree. "Do you want to climb first, Yugi?"
"Nope! I want you to climb first!" Yugi's smile then got a slightly bigger.
"Why?"
"Because I want you to see the view first! I already saw the view!"
"Okay…" I started to climb the tree. I went to the branch Yugi pointed to and sat down. I looked up and saw the view. "This is a nice spot to see the park."
"I told ya so!" Yugi then climbed up. I scooted over, so Yugi can sit next to me. "C'mon, let's go higher!"
"H-higher!" I was scared of VERY high places. "W-why?"
"You aren't scared, are you?"
"N-no!" I lied. "Of course not!"
"Then c'mon!" Yugi stood up and started to climb higher. As I looked at how high Yugi was climbing, I got scared. Yugi then looked down at me. "C'mon Ryou! The view is much better up here!"
"Okay! I'm coming, Yugi!" I started to climb the tree higher, not looking down. I was glad that Yugi stopped at the 6th branch from the branch we were on, even though it was high from the ground. When I reached there, I saw Yugi having an evil look on his face. Then when he noticed me, that face turned to a very cheerful face. I must be seeing things.
"C'mon, Ryou!" I went and sat on the tree branch Yugi was sitting on. Yugi looked at me and smiled. He then looked at the view. "Isn't the view perfect, Ryou?"
"Yes, Yugi… very lovely…" I really wanted to go back down when I said that. "Yugi…"
"Yes, Ryou?"
"I would like to go down now."
"Alright." Yugi then stood up and held out a hand to help me up.
"Thanks, Yugi." Yugi then had an evil face on him. He grabbed my arm and threw me from the tree. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I was very terrified. My Millennium Ring then glowed. My Yami came out as he grabbed my hand before I could get out of reach from him.
"Ryou! Are you alright!"
"Yeah… I'm just still scared from that fall…" I was so glad Bakura caught me.
"Hold on. I'll pull you up."
When Bakura pulled me up and I was standing on the branch he was on, I hugged him, very tightly. "I was so scared!" I started to cry, cry in fear.
"Don't worry, it's over now." I loved that tone of voice Bakura used. It was so reassuring. He then wrapping his arms around me and placed his chin on my head. "Tell me what happened… What did Yugi try to do to you?" I sighed. I then told him everything.

Yugi's P.O.V. (A/N: short)
I saw him. I saw him fall. Fall to his doom. I then saw a glow, coming from my Millennium Puzzle. Yami, it was my Yami.
"Yugi! What the hell did you do!"
"I killed him. I killed, Ryou Bakura."
"You did what!" I could tell he was very surprised by my actions. "Why did you kill Ryou, Yugi!"
"Because… because I love to kill people…"
"What!"

Yami's P.O.V.
When I heard a scream, I came out of my puzzle. I looked at my hikari, my aibou. He had a strange looked on him, he look that he just killed someone. "What the hell did you do!"
"I killed him. I killed Ryou Bakura."
"What!" I was very shocked. Killed Ryou Bakura! Did my hikari actually said that! "Why did you kill Ryou, Yugi!"
"Because… because I love to kill people…"
"What!" His voice, it had no emotion. "Aibou, why? You were always so cheerful…"
"Because I'm the real Yugi Mutou. This is my real personality. My cheerfulness was all an act, an act so people can trust me. When that day comes, I kill them."
"But they're your friends Yugi, your friends!" I didn't want this Yugi! I wanted the old Yugi! The cheerful one, the one that is always happy… Not this Yugi, it can't be my aibou! "Yugi… it can't be really you…"
"Open your Ra damn freakin' eyes, you damn idiot!" I gasped. This can't be Yugi. It isn't him! It can't be him! Yugi then took an object from his pocket. It looked like a piece of the puzzle, only black. He took out a piece of the puzzle and inserted that black piece into it. The whole puzzle then turned all black, evil. I closed my eyes, not believing what is happened to my puzzle, our puzzle. I then had a sudden urge to kill people. I opened my eyes. I looked at Yugi. "Who's OUR next target?"
