The pharaoh is no different than I am, when it comes to shadow games. The bastard tends to be harsher, in fact.

"The pharaoh hasn't killed anyone."

Has he? The spirit grinned malevolently in his head, Ryou could tell.

"No."

Knowing Yugi that was impossible. The short, kind-hearted teenager wouldn't allow his spirit to hurt anyone. Unless maybe-if they reeeally deserved it? The thief cut into Ryou's thoughts, his sneer evident in the tone. Even then Yugi couldn't let the pharaoh kill anyone.

I didn't kill anyone.

"That's a lie."

I did not.

"Pegasus, Rin-kun and his thugs."

A pause followed this statement, followed by the Spirit's dark reply. He'd have to place another mind-seal on his host, something that prevented thought about certain blank memories.

So you've figured it out.

"I've known for awhile, actually. I knew it was your fault when they all disappeared after you started talking to me. Pegasus was famous, he couldn't just vanish; and he had the Millennium Eye. "

The thief realized the mind-seal would have to be a very strong block.

Believe what you will, landlord. But have you ever noticed the absolute lack of bullies at Domino High? He replied. Ryou didn't answer, but his soul shuddered beneath their skin.

Inside his head, the spirit cackled in triumph.
