Ryou was terrified! That was the only word to describe how he felt walking into the dark, cold soul room across from his own. It, when first entering, was a plain room except for a desk and a few books. The walls were a dark grey with hints of light grey mixed in to make it seem to Ryou that he was walking through a great fog.
The boy kept wondering why he was summoned by his darker half, but knew if he did not come willingly he would be dragged here by his hair roughly. The farther in he went though the more things started to appear, disappear, and distort, nothing appearing helped the boy's fear recede. In fact some things served to only frighten the male more.
At the back of the room he saw a throne in which Bakura sat. The darkness around the room and creeping up the walls were enough to choke the weaker if said male was not careful with his attitude in the presence above him that he had learned to fear greatly.
"Ryou! Good you are here! Let us talk. Do you know why I have failed to destroy the pharaoh that I despise?" the dark being asked. This made Ryou swallow hard and noticeably knowing that a bad answer would equal pain.
"No Bakura am I supposed to know the answer?" he asks tentively unsure if this was the right thing to say or do, you never know with Bakura.
"I figured you wouldn't, but I also figure I would ask. The answer is you!" the last part was said in such anger that Ryou nearly bowed in fright. "You who is weak, afraid, and kind yet betrays me! Betrays me for the people who will abandon you soon enough and leave you in pieces so small nobody will be able to fix you even if they tried! I am the darker half of your soul the only one who would never leave you!" Bakura continued to rant loudly making the weaker squeak in terror.
"You know how about a little change in teaching! I will allow you to feel the pain of the outside world, without the safety of the ring to comfort you, OUT! Was the British boy's last command for that day.

Groaning Ryou crashed onto the bed sore, depressed, and tired on the third ay of freedom, or torture, whatever works. For the past few days since Bakura did not take over his body and fight back he has been beaten and bullied horribly, even worse than before. And not having the ring to go to, being locked out, Ryou was stuck in this painful experience until the annoyed dark side was ready to shield him again. The worse part? Yugi's cheerleading squad never noticed a thing or if they did cared in fact it seemed they were going out of their way to ignore him. It made Ryou ready to bed for forgiveness from another currently ignoring him.
As soon as that thought crossed his mind he felt a tugging sensation from the golden ring he always had to wear. That tug was a signal he could not, would not ignore so he stilled himself and soon found himself in front of the cold throne. Looking up he saw a pair of cold eyes watching him with no emotion as he got into a kneeling position. He had to use his hands to steady himself greatly because of all the nerves.
"Even I would not allow this punishment to go on for any longer when directed at you. Light have you seen it my way or should I expect you to still, after all I just showed you, protect the pharaoh and his group of unneeded cheerleaders in our next shadow game!" Bakura spoke each word which vibrated around the two and off the walls while searing into the resolve and memory of the younger.
"Please Bakura please I will not betray you just do not leave me alone again! I felt like I was going to die to hurt! Please!" Ryou pleaded desperately from his position under the throne, The separation from the other half of his soul was bad enough, but the fact he felt alone unwanted and unneeded by everyone was even worse on the teen's spirit and the dark being knew it too. Ryou knew he couldn't go back to that. This made Bakura chuckle darkly relishing the child's fear and need.
"Little light I know that, which is why I showed you the truth in the first place. I will never leave you so you do not have to ever worry about that. I will always be here to protect you as your darker half! Sleep though little light I have some business to do in the outside world with our body!" the stronger cooed letting Ryou slumber softly as he went out to meet the bullies who had no brains, because who with a brain would hurt the property of a thief?

The host of the Millennium ring awoke in his bed that night feeling contented and safe. The feeling even stayed as he looked down to see the needles of his pendant digging into his skin. The blood brought to the surface only viewed as a comfort now, pain as the way to know he was not alone and was not forgotten. The darkness was now all he needed, all he cherished and with Bakura all he lived for. With that thought the white-haired male fell asleep oblivious to the crimson-brown eyes watching him and the ghostly arms, surrounding him protecting, him in his sleep.
