The Truth

Disclaimer: I, Rowan, and my yami, Sakura, DO NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh! We both sincerely wish we did, but sadly, until pigs fly and I hate cats (for any who don't know, I love cats!) Mr. Takahashi will be the creator of the absolute best anime ever!

AN: The following chapter is done in Bakura's P.O.V. All that is left to say is that this story contains slight shounen-ai (boyxboy), just little bits of fluff, nothing more, hence the mild rating. Also, if you don't like cats, I warn you, don't read! I hope you enjoy! Please Read and Review!

' Bakura's thoughts '

By Rowan (and Sakura, I suppose!)

Chapter 1

One Big Cat-astrophe!

'Why is this happening? What did I do to deserve this?' I ask myself despairingly. 'I've been good-well, not exactly good- but better than before! I haven't laid a finger on Ryou in months! I swear to Go-no, actually, I don't- but what I say is true! So, why did this happen?

Two large brown eyes, so familiar and yet, so different, are asking me the same question. I shake my head and reach out my hand unconsciously to pat his head. Ryou scampers away from me. I sigh. "Ryou, I'm not going to hit you. After all, it's not your fault."

Ryou peers at me, then cautiously walks up to me. I pet him on his soft head, eventually eliciting a purr from him. He bravely gets up on the couch beside me, brushing my arm with his tail. Yes, his tail. Ryou, my hikari, had been turned into a cat.

---*---

I rang the doorbell impatiently. 'Where is the baka pharaoh?' I think, shifting the large cat carrier from one hand to the other. "Hey, Pharaoh, you in there? This is important!" I shout. No answer. Figures, considering it is that stuck up prick I'm going to. The only reason I'm here anyway is because my hikari had asked me to go, and taking into account his current condition, I didn't have the heart to say no.

/Try the door, it might be unlocked./ Ryou sent to me now.

Although he is a cat, that special yami/hikari bond that allows us to converse still exists.

//Alright, alright, I'll try the door!// I said back to the furry little creature huddled in the extremely heavy cage.

Unfortunately for me the door opened quite easily. //What do I do now?// I asked Ryou the cat.

/Go inside of course!/ he replies short-temperedly. I could swear that Ryou never got angry or annoyed with me before. Maybe this cat thing is making him more like me. I shutter at that idea. I'm not exactly the most complacent person in the world.

//Okay then.// I answer back. I step quietly into the house. "Pharaoh? You here? It's me, Bakura!"

There was still no reply. I walk further in, to the bottom of the stairs. //Should I go up?// I half ask Ryou, half ask myself.

/Sure, go on up./ he says through the link.

I step cat-like up the stairs. I sent that thought to my hikari. /Hey! I don't appreciate that!/ Ryou returns.

//Sorry Ryou, I thought it was funny.// I apologize. I think Ryou's rubbing off on me.

"Pharaoh?" I call loudly when I reach the top of the stairs. I hear a crash in the bedroom at the end of the hallway. I walk over to the door. Slowly, I open it and find a shocking surprise. "Yami! Yuugi! What the heck is going on?"
