Author's Note: Hey everyone! I hope you liked the last chapter. Anyway, I hope everyone doesn't mind my fast updates. I've just been having a lot of inspiration, and I wanted to get it down as fast as I can so I don't lose it. If you have any questions, concerns, comments, or suggestions please leave a review or PM me. By the way, I wrote this while I was listening to Like I'm Going to Lose You by Megan Trainer ft. John Legend, so if you want, you can listen to the song like a track for this chapter. Enjoy the chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh. If I did, Bakura wouldn't have been absent in the Dartz arc.

Last time: "We have to take him down," I said after taking a deep breath and looking into the thief's eyes. "And, I don't care how we do it."

Chapter Three: Stolen Treasure

Bakura's eyebrows rose and he said, "You're willing to help me take down the Pharaoh?"

I nodded as I kept his gaze, "He's using everyone I know, Bakura. Who knows what else he's been lying about?"

"And, you don't care about what I've tried to do in the past," Bakura asked.

"You were only really going after the Pharaoh," I said. "And, besides that, you never really did anything else that was really bad."

"What about the souls I put in the game pieces," Bakura asked.

"They were going to hurt Ryou, right," I asked, and I sighed when Bakura looked away; refusing to answer my question. "Look, Bakura, I know you have some issues, mostly to do with the Pharoah, but I don't believe you're as evil as everyone thinks you are. I never did."

Bakura's gaze snapped to me, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Even though you always take over Ryou, you've also tried to protect him," I said. "Like with taking those people's souls and not letting Marik kill him. You've never went after one of my former friends, only Yam—the Pharaoh. And, you used Duel Monsters/Shadow Games instead of worse means of taking the puzzle. You're a thief, I know you could have just as easily taken a hostage or even tried to mug me to take the puzzle, but you never involved me or others that way. It was always you and the Pharaoh directly. And, then, you also tried to warn us about the Pharaoh. You gave me a warning about what was going to happen today. And, you said I could come to you when it did. You may be a thief, Bakura, but you have honor."

Bakura's eyes were wide and conflicted. His jaw was dropped, and his muscles were tense as he stood shaking. I could tell that he didn't know what to think, what to feel. He must be wondering whether or not to flee.

I started walking towards him, and he took an involuntary step back. My eyes got softer, and his shaking slowed down. Once, I stood right in front of him, I put a hand on his arm and then hugged him. He stood their extremely tense; most likely not used to such physical contact.

"It's okay," I whispered into his waist, which is as tall I was. "I understand."

That's when he stopped shaking, and he gently wrapped an arm around me.

…With Yami…

Yami stood still in the place where his aibou had slapped him. He knew he deserved it for what he said, but he also felt justified because of the accusions that Yugi was placing on him. He wished his aibou would come home so he could say he didn't mean those words. That he was just using them because of their argument. That he does care about his hikari. A tear rolled down his face as he started to cry, the shock finally wearing off. He tried to connect to their mind link, but to his horror, Yugi had blocked it off.

I'm sorry aibou, Yami thought. I'm so sorry for those harsh words. I didn't mean them. I do care about you. I'll always care about you. Please…please come back home.

…With Yugi and Bakura…

Yugi let go of Bakura, and Bakura coughed as he looked away, a slight red tint to his cheeks.

"Well," he said. "Do you have anywhere to stay," Bakura asked, and Yugi looked at him in confusion. "I doubt you want to go back home at the moment."

Yugi's eyes went wide in realization and then they became slightly glassy with unshed tears.

"No," Yugi said. "The only person I've been talking to for the past couple months is you. I doubt anyone would take me in."

Bakura snorted and said, "I think you're forgetting someone."

"Who," Yugi asked as he looked at the Thief King.

"Me," Bakura said as he started walking off.

Yugi just stared at his back, and the vein in the thief's temple throbbed in irritation.

"Are you coming," He growled.

"What," Yugi asked, confused.

"You're staying with me, midget," Bakura said mockingly. "Come on, we're wasting daylight."

Yugi looked at him in surprise, but quickly ran to catch up with him. However, the smaller teen's eyes never left the thief. Once they reached the bottom of the stairs, Yugi saw the motorcycle that Bakura used that first time he saw him on the roof. However, there was one major difference. This time, there were two helmets. Tears came to his eyes at seeing this. Bakura knew what was going to happen, but he also cared enough to give him a place to stay when it did.

"Come on," Bakura said, already on the bike. "It's safe."

I nodded and jumped up behind him. He handed me the second helmet and I gratefully put it on.

"Thank you," I said as I wrapped my arms around his waist.

"It's…no problem, Little Light," he said as he stared to put the bike into gear. "Like I said before. Treasure isn't meant to be let to slip away. It's meant to be kept close. Horded and stolen. And, those bakas didn't know what short of treasure they had. So, I'm going to steal you away."

I leaned my forehead against his back at those words, and we took off.

"Don't worry, Little Light," I heard him whisper. "I'm not like those idiots. I horde my treasures. Don't think for a minute that I'm going to let you go that easily."
