Ok, since people seemed to like it I'll put up the next one. ^^ This one is shorter than the others, but don't worry, they're not going to get any smaller.

Chapter 2 – I Feel Your Pain
Ryou was sure it had been hours. It felt that way. Perhaps it was only a few minutes? He's finished looking through the wall carvings; he'd even gone into the other corridor. It branched off to other far smaller rooms. But never did he leave the bodies of his friends for too long, fearing they might wake up confused. And he was feeling lonely; they made him feel less lonely. He got a chance to study Kaiba, whom he rarely ever saw, and noticed with some degree of humour that his coat still managed to flare out a little, even when he wasn't moving. 'What is it? Made out of cardboard or something?' he swore he heard Bakura's bitter laugh.Bakura? Are you there? Please answer, please! Nothing.
"B-Bakura?" he said aloud, speaking for the first time since he had woken.
Nothing. He suddenly broke down, unable to continue his charade of peace. Such desolation tore him apart. Ryou sat on the floor in a corner and cried, clinging onto Bakura's cloak. It was the only thing he could still feel of him. That and the Ring. Sniffling he clutched it. It was cold and unresponsive when he pleaded for it to give him some hint of Bakura. Ryou sadly closed his eyes and leaned his head back onto the wall, now angry.
"Why won't you work damn it!" he shouted, holding the ring to his face. Suddenly it glowed. Ryou was bewildered for a moment, but before he could ask for anything a sudden aching in his chest sent him heaving, gasping for lung fills of air, as if he'd just emerged from a near drowning. After a few moments his breathing returned to normal.
"What the hell that that?" he shouted at the ring, needing something to vent his anger at. He received no reply, no blinding light or pain in his chest. Only silence.
Ryou was angry at the Ring, at Bakura, at everyone. Why did they leave without him? 'Why didn't he tell me what was going to happen?' 'Because he's a heartless bastard, that why!' Part of him screamed. 'No! He wasn't all bad! I could feel it...Something was wrong. But he should've told me. I would've helped him...' Ryou thought, sobbing once more into the dark silence.
Ryou was napping. He needed a good rest. Unfortunately a searing heat woke him with a start. He screamed in pain, clutching his heart. It felt like he was burning alive. He closed his eyes and gasped for air once more. A sudden image filled his mind. Bakura was laying on a rock floor, eyes wide, mouth partly open in shock with scorch-marks on his clothes. He was different, but Ryou knew it was him.
"BAKURA!" he screamed in panic, despite the burning pain in his body. No...his soul. When he opened his eyes the pain stopped. Ryou was left shaking and confused. That was until he realised he was holding the Ring. 'It's our connection...From the looks of his clothes I'd say Bakura is in his own former body...which means he's in Ancient Egypt...and the only way to get there is...' Ryou's thoughts trailed off as his gaze settled on Yugi. Realisation dawned over Ryou and for once, even though it was selfish, Ryou wanted Yugi and the others to fail. If Bakura lost, Ryou would never see him again. Ryou would be all alone again, alone with the silence. It was cruel yes, but Ryou needed Bakura. Yugi had his own bunch of friends, and even though they acted like he was part of that little group, he knew he wasn't really welcome. He was the outcast, the omen of bad fortune.
'Well, their bad fortune is my good luck.'
Ok so sorry that one was so short.
The reason why Ryou couldn't feel Bakura earlier was because Mahad had the Ring, not Bakura. Therefore Ryou didn't feel the pain from the bear trap thingy.
Oh, and I know that Seto popped up later, but for the sake of this story lets just say he was already there.
Please review and enjoy :)
P.S. I have no idea what all these wierd little numbers are...
