Chapter 1
Bakura's p.o.v

I hold him in my arms; his body seems so fragile now. I know he is not fragile; I can't help holding him like he would break though. His eyelids flutter open revealing glassy brown eyes.

"B-Bakura?" his voice is soft, afraid of breaking the delicate silence that surrounds us.

"Yes angel?" I ask just as soft, though I know he can hear me.

"..." He is silent, thinking about what is going to happen. I tried my hardest to stop it...no matter how hard I tried he is still slipping away slowly. Ever so slowly, slipping through my grasp falling into darkness. " I love you Bakura," he says at last is sounds so... final. I hold back my tears one of us has to be strong.

"Don't say that angel" it isn't working the tears are rolling slowly down my face. I can taste them; they are salty. His skin is pale, paler then I have ever seen him. I try to hold him against my body and not crush him at the same time; it's hard to do.

"I love you Bakura" it's a little firmer this time, though his voice is labored I want him to stop talking; then he might stay with me just that much longer. He is becoming blurry; I try to blink away the tears that are cascading down my face. That doesn't work.

"I love you too angel; please be quite. Hold on ...please?!" I feel like sobbing but as I mentioned before on of us needs to be strong. The feelings are churning in my chest threatening to drown me. Grief, depression, desperation tearing at my heart. The tears continue.

Ryou reaches a cool hard up to brush away my tears. Why isn't he crying as well? Can he accept death that easy? I've died before and I still fear it.

"Angel, don't go there is so much I didn't tell you" the tears only came faster. Ryou gave a sad smile.

"Tell me" Ryou's voice sounds weaker now.

"Do you know how much I love you?" I began, knowing he shouldn't be talking I cut him off "Ryou you are my life, my love, my everything. Without you there is nothing no light; nothing. Black Ryou my life is black without you," I breathed in his soft sent mixed with the coppery sent of blood, Ryou's blood. I looked down, Ryou's eyes were closed and he was completely motionless. "Ryou?" I ask hoping with all my being that he will open his eyes and tell me he loves me. He will open his eyes... "Open; please" it is a horse whisper but at the moment that is all I can manage. His eyes aren't opening I just have to wait they WILL open; and I can feast on his lovely chocolate eyes " Angel wake up please" Ryou always loved it when I said please it made him happy.

The darkness, pressed in around us eating at my soul that Ryou had saved with his light. A choked sob escaped Bakura's lips, his tears splattered on Ryou's sleeping face. "Come on angel time to wake up and go home" more tears pored from my eyes this time I did not try to stop them or slow them. I let them pour as I waited for Ryou to wake up.

Wake up Ryou

I love you

Wake up Ryou

I love you

Wake...

I sobbed and clung Ryou's body to his chest sobbing hysterically. It had hit him like a ton of bricks Ryou wasn't going to wake up. He would forever be sleeping. Ryou once told me a story about a girl who fell asleep a deep sleep all she need was a kiss from her true love. I loved Ryou, still crying I leaned over my love and pressed my lips to his.

Cold

Ryou was cold

Ryou's lips were cold...

My world shattered around me I was only aware of some one screaming. Wait... that's me I'm screaming. For my love, for my life... for my light. The world shattered, all was gone there was nothing left nothing for me all was gone ... so I screamed.

Ryou's p.o.v

I felt pain so much pain. My stomach hurt I can't remember what happened. All that matters now is the smell of blood in the air, is smells so familiar; my blood it's my blood. Bakura is holding me like I'm going to break. One look into his oaken eyes tells me all I need to know. I'm not going to make it. I'm scared I'm really scared right now; I don't want it to end I want to be with Bakura. I'm not done yet; there was so much I wanted to do with my life. I'm so scared...

"B-Bakura?" my voice catches, I hate myself I sound so weak right now. It is aloud right? I'm going to die right? Might as well tell Bakura one last time.

"Yes angel?" his voice is soft like he is sitting in a hospital talking to a person about to die; he is minus the hospital.

"..." I can't bring myself to say anything right now. His eyes look so sad right now. I'm overwhelmed by the sadness in his eyes; he really loves me. Now my own sadness is higher there is so much I wanted to show Bakura so much love that I will never give. Better do what I can now who knows how much longer I have now? "I love you Bakura" my voice is choked with emotion.

"Don't say that angel" his words hurt me, he is afraid I can tell. Some tears slip past the mental blocks he put up. They roll down his soft cheeks. Oh gods I love him! I don't want to leave him not yet. Despite my wishes I could feel myself sinking into the darkness. Panic surged through me I HAD to tell Bakura how I felt so with more force in my strained voice I said it again

"I love you Bakura" my voice is starting to fail me. I don't want to let go though. The only thing I feel now is sadness that I could not spend more time with the one I love, and the blazing love I feel right now. I'm sure that is all that is keeping me attached to this world.

I love you too angel; please be quite...please" internally I'm smiling; I'm glade I finally taught him proper manners. He is on the verge of breaking I can fell it. Oh Bakura what are you going to do now? What will you do when the time we have right now runs out? Please be strong please. I watched as the tears I never got too see Bakura shed before now began to fall faster. I reached my hand up too brush away his tears and pain that had gone numb now exploded. None of that mattered now my hand touched Bakura's warm skin. I could feel tears prickle the back of my eyes, my heart constricted this was the last time I would ever get to touch my beloved. Never again would I feel the tingle of my skin rubbing against his. Never again would I feel the passion of the dance him and I begin almost every night. Never again would I kiss those soft lips.

"Angel, don't go there is so much I didn't tell you" he whispers I can tell he is desperate as I was to tell all that is written deep in his heart.

"Tell me" I had always wanted to know what Bakura was thinking. What secrets did my Yami keep from me? I wanted to know and this was the last chance I will ever get to... do anything. I wanted to cry right now the pain was immense; finally my Yami was spilling all to me. I've always wanted this... now I don't think I can live through it. Bakura was still crying, we were both ready to commit our souls to each other now all was wasted.

"Do you know how much I love you?" yes oh gods yes I know you love me I love you to put I could not find my voice to speak not even to tell Bakura that he was my everything one last time. Everything was fading quickly. "Ryou you are my life, my love, my everything. Without you there is nothing no light; nothing. Black Ryou my life is black without you," I could just make out what he said the world was going dark. I could not tell him that I felt the same way too.

I could not tell him that without his love my life would have been empty.

I could tell him nothing

The world had gone black.

@@@@@@~@@@@@@~@@@@@@~@@@@@@~@@@@@@~@@@@@@

Twin boys bolted up, knocking the sheet that had been covering their nude bodies to their waists. Bakura touched his cheek to find that there WERE salty wet tracks running down his face.

Ryou sat up at the same time Bakura did; a small sob escaped him. Bakura turned to him both of them crying.

"Ryou" Bakura whispered into the darkness

"Bakura!" Ryou called and launched himself into his lover's waiting arms. "Oh Ra Bakura I love you" Ryou was sobbing into Bakura's shoulder.

"Shh angel" Bakura soothed running a comforting hand through Ryou's long silver hair. He was surprised to find the hand he was using was trembling. The force of the emotion the dream had caused was enough to break ANYONE'S shell. Ryou was slowly fading back into the dream world, he was grateful that he was still here to be in Bakura's arms. Right where he belonged.

"I love you Bakura" Ryou whispered quietly his innocent tear-filled eyes slid slowly shut.

"I love you too angel" Bakura kissed Ryou's soft hair and lay them both down on the bed. He breathed the sent of Ryou's shampoo deeply, happy just to be able to hold Ryou again. He fell asleep cuddled to his shorter lover.

Nether of them wondered why they awoke at the same time.

Neither of them knew that they had shared a dream.

So neither of them wondered why...
