Kuro: Whoa, Neko-chan actually updated. That in itself is a shocker.
Neko: I got a review, I got a review! ^^ So happy!
Kuro: It could have been for me you know, it wasn't specified.
Neko: I write the stories and therefore it was for me! :P if it mentions spelling, grammar and other stuff like that then it was for you! ^^ He he.
Kuro: Like I care and besides it was only one review.
Neko: One review that I – as in me – got, which reminds me that I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! If I did, it'd still be the same . . . so I could still write fanfiction ^^ except I wouldn't have sold the rights to 4kids :(

Ryou Bakura, Japan, November 20th

A bone-cracking pain shoots across my skull like a lightning bolt flashing along the midnight sky. I'm not sure whether Yugi is also screaming but I'm faintly aware of the screeching noise coming from my soul.

Crouched down in intense pain, I hear a crackling of a bond as clear as glass and yet as fuzzy as a Kuriboh. I hear a murmuring of voices but I can't make out what they are saying.

As the voices inside my head grow quieter the pain pressing upon my skull dulls to a mere ache.

I look up at Yugi, unsure on whether I should. I bring my head up to see his giant, innocent, amethyst eyes looking up at me, tears filling the brim of his eyes and spilling endlessly down his face, "Ryou".

My heart stills as I watch this boy break down in front of me I race forward, pushing through Yugi's fans and friends and wrap my arms around the small body tenderly. "So I was right. . ." I mutter under my breath, "You weren't holding up at all, we're you?"

"Do you feel it too?" He replies sobbing. "Do you also experiencing the hollowness of our bodies, the emptiness of our thoughts?"

I could have broken down in tears also if there were not crowds gathering around us. I pick Yugi up gently; resting him in a baby's burping position and head towards the building with his friends trailing behind. "Yes" I answer him. "I feel the pain of it all too".

Yugi is silent for a second but I see his reflection on a window blink curiously, "But you hated the Thief King".

I sigh, "You might as well call him Bakura, I think of him as so anyway". Pausing for a second, I consider my next words, "I don't think anyone who hasn't been that intimately linked could ever understand the pain of having that ripped away in a mere instant. I never really hated Bakura, just more . . . ."

"More you hated not having your own freedom. You wanted to be able control your own actions" Yugi's amethysts eyes glow knowingly. "It was like that for me too, Yami was willing to do anything to win in the beginning".

I still as I realise just when that had happened, "You mean back at duellist island during your duel against Seto Kaiba" I state, calmly. "Aren't you?" He nods, reluctantly.

I place Yugi down on a bland, orange couch as I watch his friends, Honda, Anzu, Otogi, Jou and even the Kaiba brother's themselves sit at the sofa perpendicular. Anzu seems to be fumbling for something to say. "You alright man?" Honda says to me, "You two screamed for a while there".

I sit next to Yugi, his blond bangs hanging limply on my right arm. He snuggles into my shoulder, asking for the comfort that only his Yami or I could truly give at this moment. "My head still hurts" I admit, "And the voices are becoming annoying".

Yugi jolts up suddenly looking at me with shocked wide eyes, "You hear the screams too?"

"They're screaming?" I ask, gently "I can only hear a small amount of it".

"Who's screamin' Yug?" says Jou as he approaches Yugi. "What's happening?"

Yugi shakes his head, indicating he either doesn't know or doesn't want to tell us. "It's so loud and it hurts so much but yet not as much as before".

"For me it's really quiet but I only have a dull ache" I murmur mainly to myself.

Anzu pushes me out of the way, "Could it be you're still connected to the pharaoh?"

Yugi winces boldly, shaking. "I hear two voices though".

Kaiba's watching us in the corner of the room in disbelief. He picks up an apple and starts chomping it. "I'm still not saying this is real but honestly!" He scoffs, "If you think it through it's obvious that they are both hearing both of their so called Yamis".

"Hate to admit it but I think that damn Kaiba might be right" Jou says. "I mean it started just after you and Ryou looked at each other".

I stare out the window, ignoring the rest of the comments. Rain is pouring down the side heavily. I guess Ra isn't smiling at us today.

Wait. Oh my Ra.

We didn't even think about the Gods.

Neko: There you go, a quick update before I have no internet for the week! xD. I only have internet from Friday to Sunday :(
Kuro: Another cliffhanger?
Neko: I don't think it's a cliffy. –frowns slightly- It's just what is needed to get this story started.
Kuro: You mean it hasn't started yet? You just finished the second chapter you know.
Neko: I know! And No, it starts when the summery comes into the story.
Kuro: And when's that?
Neko: Two chapters I think. Then the adventure truly starts.
Kuro: . . . alright then?
Neko: ^^ Thanks to all those who put 'Ra's Will' on follow and favourite! xD Please Review!
