Chapter 3 – 'Unheard' Prayers

Ryou tried several times to link with Bakura via the ring. He tried holding it and talking out loud and through the mind link, praying to every god that it would work.

Bakura, can you hear me? Maybe you can, maybe not. Please, if you can, hold onto the ring and please, respond. Please...it's too quiet down here. The others are just asleep. At least I used to be able to hear your voice, even if it was just to call me names. It was better than nothing...

Ryou finished, crying again and he clutched onto the ring.

Bakura, please...I don't want you to go.

Thief King Bakura was riding to Kul Elna. He'd gathered most of the items, but Zorc needed to be awoken soon. The Pharaoh's little gang of supporters had shown up, making things unnecessarily difficult. As he sped over the dunes towards the ruins of his home village the Ring was slapping against his bare torso. He ignored it at first, the small noises he would hear. The snippets of someone speaking, begging. Frowning he slowed to a trot, despite his urgency. Bakura noticed his ring glowing and held it. Suddenly the voice became clearer, like a radio finding the perfect frequency. It was the sound of very familiar sobbing. 'Ryou? What the-!'

Bakura, please...I don't want you to go.

The crying restarted for a few moments before Bakura could hear him speaking again.

You have to win Bakura, you have to. I hate the silence. You gave me someone to at least think about, to focus on. If you loose...I WON'T EVEN GET TO SAY GOODBYE!

Ryou shouted. Bakura no longer had any doubt in his mind that this was his Hikari speaking back at the chamber.

I just wish I was there with you. But in a way, I was. I felt the drowning, and the burning. I felt it all. Your face...your face was so still!

Ryou whispered. Bakura's eyes widened in horror as he realised that Ryou had seen him get attacked by Ra.

I think that the ring is our connection. You must have a copy in Ancient Egypt. Our mind-link is severed, believe me. I've tried so many times...But the only thing I seem to be receiving is your pain. When I saw you burnt I could tell you couldn't scream. So I screamed for you. It felt good to scream. Maybe I should do it more often? If Yugi comes back I'll be screaming at him until my head explodes, that's for sure.

Ryou sounded so desperate, so helpless.

Even if I am talking to an empty ring, it feels better then the quiet. The underground is so dark and silent. I wonder how buried people feel, being boxed in by so much earth... I would hate to be buried alive. This chamber just makes me feel so vulnerable. I never felt like that when you were here. But that tablet...it's calling me. I can't leave it. I'm hoping you'll come back, not them. For once I hope they all lose. It's selfish I know, but it's not like they'll be lonely. They'll have each other for company. But I'll have no one...Father doesn't even realise I'm alive. You were the only one who noticed me. It was probably only to further your goal, but you still knew I was there. Thank you, Bakura. I really hope I'll be able to see you again, even if the world would be ending. If you really are listening, which is highly doubtful, I think the ring should help you communicate with me. But only if you want to! I cannot distract you from succeeding. I just wish you'd told me everything. I would've helped you. I wouldn't have made everything so bloody painstaking. Maybe then we could've spent less time fighting and more time getting to know each other? I don't know anymore. The only thing I'm certain in is that I need you to come back. I don't think I'll be able to go on if I don't have that voice in the back of my head telling me to get my ass out of bed, or be whisked off to new a different places. It was a bit like a weird holiday sometimes. I must say, waking up on hard steps with my face mashed to a brick was a new experience.

Ryou chuckled before he sighed heavily.

Just come back Bakura, please. I miss you.

Ryou fell silent and the ring stopped glowing. Bakura closed his eyes and bit his lip. Ryou missed him. Ryou wanted him to come back, not the Ra-damned Pharaoh and his buddies, but HIM. Bakura, the one who'd treated him so badly. A tear strolled down Bakura's face. If Ryou was receiving the pain that he was getting, he couldn't afford to be so careless. Even though he knew that Zorc was ultimately in control, Bakura could be a little more careful. Ryou deserved none of the pain he was getting. 'And what will happen if I fail?' It was always a possibility, failure, no matter what Zorc seemed to think. If he failed, then what would Ryou feel? What would he feel? Bakura opened his eyes, his eyes hard as steel, his will strong as diamond. He kicked the horse beneath him into action and raced towards Kul Elna. 'I cannot lose.'

Ok so...yeah. tell me what you think. I know Bakura was OOC, but for the sake of one story, i command him to be!

Sorry if the underlining was annoying to read :/

Please R&R!

I'm betting more bloody random numbers will pop up under this message v.v
