******************
As soon as it was around his neck, Ray noticed the change. The ring began to glow brightly, blocking his vision; and all he could see was the white light that it imited.
That wasn't all that happend though, Ray felt differnt somehow. He could now not only hear the voices but 'feel' them. He could feel the dark ones pleasure, as well as hear his cold laughter. He could feel the light ones fear as well as hear the sound of his crying.
'What's going on?! Why can't I see?!' Ray thought desperatly. If he could hear the voices then maybe, just maybe they could hear him too.
He was right, they were able to hear him. 'I-' the so-called 'hikari' began, trying to answer Ray's question. It was quickly cut off though by the sharp voice of the other, 'My hikari... SHUT UP DAMNIT!'
There was a small pause and then a meak, 'Hai, Yami-sama Gomen nasai' Ray frowned at the sound of the strange words. He'd never heard anything like that before... what did it mean? "Hai, Yemi samon?..." He began trying to repeat the words, "Gomen nesey?" He blinked. "No...that's not it."
'It's Japanese, you stupid mortal!' Spat the dark voice.
'Oh... I see.'
Ray was nervous. Hikari seemed afraid of this other voice; and Ray didn't blame him at all. The sound of it speaking to him in the back of his mind brought chills down the back of his spine. It was so cold and heartless. It didn't seem to have any emotions but those of anger and hatred. It just wanted to get it's way. Problem: Ray had given it it's way. He'd put on the Millennium Ring.
'Who-or what-are you?' Ray whisperd warily in his mind to the 'thing'.
'You.'
'Me? How can you be me?'
'Easily. I am your darker side... your Yami if you will.'
Ray took a deep breath. So 'it' was him, then? His dark side? His...'Yami'? He shook his head in disbelief. "Great..." He muttured to himself, "I havn't even started school yet, and allready I'm going insane." He sighed, "First I start hearing strange voices in my head. Then one of them trickes me into putting some stupid Ring around my neck. Then I imagine this bright light all around me-" He jumped. He'd forgotten about the light. He hadn't relized it was still there. It was, though. He couldn't see anything with it surrounding him. Was it really only his imagination, though? It was so bright, and it looked so real...
'What's the matter, aibou?' His Yami laughed at him.
'You are not real... LEAVE ME ALONE!' A wave of emotions hit Ray all at once as he yelled at his Yami. Fear, hatred, disbelif, and confusion. All of these met and mixed; dancing in his mind as one. They took over him; crept through his mind and body; taking control of him; they clouded his thoughts in a swirl of light and color... and then with a sudden flash all went blank.
*******************
Ray opened his eyes slowly, and he blinked trying to sit up. "Shhh..." Someone coed softly, "Lay back down." A hand reached out and gently pushed him back down. Looking up Ray could see the gray colord cealing. Once it had been white but time and dirt had slowly washed it away.
He felt something wet fall on his forhead-a warm cloth. It felt nice, and he smiled sheepishly, "Thank you..." he whisperd. He closed his eyes again, quickly drifting of into a dreamless sleep. And all the while green eyes watched him sleep. Taking in his appearence, a tear fell from one of them in remberance.
"Your welcome, Ray..." A voice mutterd from somewhere in the shadows, as the eyes disaperd.
*********************
This time when Ray tried to sit up no one stopped him. He knew right away that he was in the basement because of the lumps on the bed. No bed could have lumps like that except for his bed. It was the way they were layed out. There was a large clump of the lumps in a circle on the right side, and a smaller clump of similar shape on the left. Then in the middle was a long strip of lumps that started at the top and went all the way down to the bottom. One learns to recognize the way the lumps were spread out after sleeping in that bed for a long time.
The light which had shone so brightly before was now gone. It was completly dark now. He rememberd that when he'd first enterd the room that he'd turned his bedside lamp on. Some one must have turned it of.
Reaching over, he turned the lamp back on. That done he, yawned and rubbed his eyes. 'What happend?' He thought, confused. 'What a wierd dream...' He vagly remeberd putting on the Millenium Ring, and then hearing two voices inside his head; but that was about it. Ray sighed as he tried to remeber. 'Oh well... it was just a dream anyways.' He thought to himself. He didn't really remeber the dream. He was just glad it was over.
"Oh... you are awake! Good. How are you feeling?"
The voice startled Ray, and he jumped. Jumped so high he fell right of the bed. He'd never heard that voice before, though it did sound vagly familiar.
A hand grasped hold of his arm to help him back up on the bed. Once there he looked at the one who had spoken in shock.
Ray could have been looking in a mirror. He saw his own long silvery hair; his kind face and innocent eyes; a smile that could make even the most depresed person smile; his frail body, and pale skin. The only difference was in the eyes. They were green instead of Ray's chocolate brown. They seemed to be deep endless pools; lost, scared and alone. There was as well the general appearence. The body of was that of six year old-like Ray- but... somehow he seemed to be so much older. It was if he had lived a life- time of a thousand years without his body aging a single day.
"Who are you?" Ray asked, staring into the other's eyes. The other boy smiled softly, "I am Hikari Ray... your Hikari."
Ray frowned. Hikari? In his dream, one of the voices he'd heard, had been called hikari, hadn't it? There had been that other voice too... the darker one. It had claimed that it was 'his' Yami; just as this boy was now claiming to be 'his' hikari.
Ray was confused. None of this was making sense to him. 'A dream is a dream and nothing more' he shook is head. 'Sure I've allways wanted to be swept of into some magical adventure but this... it's not right.'
Hikari Ray watched Ray for a moment. Then as if understanding what Ray was feeling he tried to explain.
"My real name is, Ryou Bakura. Or at least that's what it used to be..." He sighed. "It's very difficult to explain..." He bit his lip in concentration, trying to think of a way to explain it to the boy.
'Perhaps this will be easier.' Ray jumped at the sound of the voice in his mind. 'Am I still dreaming?' He asked.
Hikari Ray's,-or Ryou Bakura or whatever his name was-smile broadend, as he continued to speak in their minds. 'Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you... I suppose your not really used to this yet, are you?' Ray shook his head. 'Well, to answer your question, no you are not dreaming. None of what you saw was a dream. All of it is real. Now, Yami-sama is sleeping in his soul room; so i think if we're quite we should be able go have a look at your soul room. Going there might make it easier for you to understand.'
Soul room? Where was a soul room-WHAT was a soul room? Ray hoped it wasn't far, he didn't like to be far from home.
'I'm not sure how to get you into your soul room. I never really understood it myself and Yami-sama never taught me so... the only way I now how to do this is by taking over your body. Everytime he did it to me I ended in my soul room. Then I'll head to my soul room; and there should be a door leading to your's.' Ray heard the other boy sigh. 'You'll have to find your own way to your soul room later; but this will have to do for now'
Hikari Ray closed his eyes, and crossed his legs. Putting a hand on each knee he furrowed his brow in concentration. Ray felt a strange tinkling sensation begin to creep it's way up his body. He felt as if something were trying throw him out of his body, and invade his mind and body. He tried to resist but the feeling was too strong. Soon he was flung out of his body and into a large circular room he did not recognize.
