This idea came to me after I got bored and started searching up some Bakura pictures. Kinda just threw this together after that. ^^; Bit of a drabble of Yami Bakura's point of view from within Ryou. It can be considered Tendershipping if you want to think of it that way.

Don't own Yugioh, Bakura, Ryo, or any of that stuff


You've never been very exciting, I have to admit. You've always loved games, haven't you? You always wanted to play with your friends…. It was heartwarming, seeing you smile along with them. You wished for them to play with you forever.

See, that's when a small spark of an idea started to twist and tweak the gears in my head. Squeek, Squeek, Squeek, they turned. As my landlord, was it not exceptional to keep you happy? I happen to have that power you know. So I gave you your friends—forever just like you wanted.

But despite that, this isn't what you wanted? Hmph. How picky. I'm still waiting you know. I've been waiting ever since I've known you, and I never thought I'd get anywhere….

You'd never be enough. You'd never… You'd never….

Ahahaha! But that one day! That one fateful day I never would have imagined would come! You were too curious for your own good you know… because the spark inside me became the spark inside you.

I've always been waiting. I don't like waiting, but you should know that better than anyone else, right? After all, these are the golden items of destiny, death, and power.

You'd never be enough to be a monster. You never knew… You never would….

Too bad you push me away, even though I've done so much for you. Else you might have actually listened to who you really are. You may think that you're the nice guy. No. You should listen to me. You should hold your inner monster close. It's what you are after all.

You're a thief. A monster. An emissary of the devil itself. Destiny's pretty funny actually—that's why I'm always laughing! Because of you, because of me, because of Yugi, and everything else that helped stage our meeting! You're the spitting image of the past, and here we are together! Come, laugh with me!

You're a monster. Start acting like one.

Although, see, this has been your duty all along. I'm just a tiny little guide for you to nudge you in the right direction…. It's not what I want. But we both want the same thing. Won't you admit it? That's what you want right?

Look at me, look at me! Do you see how much I've grown because of you!?

You may be a monster, but I'm the thing that makes the monsters tremble in fear!!
