IkutosGirl: Lookie, I updated sooner! Yay!

Bakura: Yay…

IkutosGirl: Enjoy! :D

Bakura's POV

"Well um…" Joey was at a loss for words from my sudden outburst. He nudged Tea with his elbow, trying to get some help from her.

"Well…" Tea began. She cleared her throat, she obviously felt uncomfortable with the current situation.

"How do we know you're not lying?! That you aren't the one who messed up Ryou!" Tristan suddenly yelled at me. I look at Yugi and his other friends to see what they thought of this. It was plain on their faces; they had the same suspicions of me too. I was outraged! Sure I don't have the cleanest record, but I would never hurt Ryou.

"Whatever…" I muttered and pushed Joey and Tristan aside and walked out the front door. Even as I walked farther and farther down the street I could feel their eyes on my back.

As I continued to walk I noticed that it was already dark outside. In fact, it was almost pitch black. If it weren't for the occasional street light and the faint glow of the moon I wouldn't be able to see. I walked for what felt like forever. Then I remembered I had my cell phone on me so I checked the time; it was 11: 30 pm.

As I walked on I noticed the city was becoming uglier by the minute. By now there was probably about four street lamps lighting my way for the next several yards. I noticed the Millennium ring begin to react slightly to something. At first it was just a faint glow, but as I turned around corners and went through alleys it began to grow brighter.

Ryou's POV

"Idiot…" I muttered to myself. I looked myself over. My clothes were filthy now; I would have to change them later. My hair was a mess, so I tried to smooth it down. Right when I was about to leave the alley I heard a gasp. Standing before me was Bakura, and he looked shocked. Then again, I don't blame him; I probably look like a lion that just killed and ate a gazelle.

"Ryou, what happened here?! What did you do?!" Bakura asked eyeing me carefully. My gaze shifted to my feet, or at least right next to them. Bakura's gaze followed mine.

"Oh my god…" Bakura managed to choke out. Bakura finally closed the space between us in a few seconds. He knelt down beside me and carefully examined the object near my legs.

"You… you… murd-" Bakura began, but I cut him off.

"Murdered someone? Yes, I know that. He won't be missed. He was drunk and picked the wrong guy to mess with, the imbecile." I finished his sentence for him. Honestly, he looked like he might throw up; I think he was gagging already. I thought Bakura would at least be almost as tough as the new me, but I guess I was wrong. Bakura looked at me pitifully; as if he could understand something I didn't.

I bent down next to Bakura. I was so close I bet he could smell the bloody odor that was emanating from my hair. In one flick of my wrist I cleanly, quickly, and skillfully pulled the knife out of the guy's back. Then I stood up. I pulled the knife near my mouth. I could already see that Bakura knew what I was going to do next. I licked the blood of my knife, smiling sadistically the whole time. I had seen Bakura do it many times and I didn't see anything appealing about the unnecessary action; until now. The blood's warmth exploded in your mouth. It was like drinking lithium; it calmed me, but enthralled me at the same time.

I turned to walk away from Bakura when suddenly something, or someone, snagged me by my clothes.

Bakura's POV

No; I simply would not let Ryou do such cruel, vile, menacing things. He was becoming too much like the old me. A year ago I would have been thrilled by my hikari's sudden interest in killing, knives, and blood, but know it just made me want to gag.

"Ryou, stop this. You're acting like a psycho, a maniac, a sadist, a killer." 'You're acting like me.' I added in my head but didn't say out loud. Ryou just looked at me with an emotionless face. I had grabbed him by the back of his shirt; he wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

IkutosGirl: Ryou murdered someone! Now he's a dark signer from 3D's!

Bakura: Do you mean that crappy spin off show called 5D's?

IkutosGirl: Yah, whatever, 3D's, 5D's; same thing.

Bakura: Well not real-

IkutosGirl: Thanks for reading!
