Haha sorry about that. Anyways, today was a great day! I watched Zexal and Yugioh for 2 hours on TV and then I wrote this kick ass chappie of doom! I hope y'all like it! Oh my mind is slowly scheming up a Zexal story, so if y'all like Zexal, then look out for one from me one of these years because it's going to come. WHEN is the question though...I NEED to finish these current stories first. Speaking of which, all you Corruption fans, you'll be happy to know that I have STARTED on the next chappie! *squeee! Dragon's Dance, not at all...I swear I feel like I'm lacking passion for that story. GET IN THE MOOD DAMMIT!

Haha, sorry about. Anyways, not sure when the next update will be...I did my annotated bibliography, but I know it's wrong...I mean I'm not just saying that it needs work, so hopefully tomorrow I can get some help on it because yeah...I just don't get it...I do, but then I don't...

Alright, that's enough of my nonsense, let's get started with the new chappie of doom! WHEEEEEE!

Endlessly:

I could love you endlessly, I could fall in love with you and we could keep a miracle alive. Every time I look in your eyes, I get lost inside of your soul. What are you doing to me? Don't you know that I hate you? Don't you want my blood on your hands? Don't you want me to scream? Don't you realize that it's too late to bring me back life? I'm already further than death. I'm drowning in my desire for you and my need to kill you. I want my hands covered in your blood, I want your skin underneath my fingertips I want you to reach out and touch me, I want you to burn me alive with your beautiful eyes. I want to hear your voice when I go to bed at night, I want to lie next to you and watch the world go by. I want to end you for good, I want to make you suffer, I want to see the look in your eyes when you look up at me when I hold the knife above your heart. I want you to know that any claims of hope you had of us is nothing but fantasy we'll never have. I want you to be the one that kills me, I want my blood on your hands.. I want you to end me I want to feel your passion. I want to feel your soul wrapping around mine. I I want to know if you feel this too. I want to know if I can kill you now. I want to feel you underneath me I want to feel something besides this loneliness I feel inside. I want to bring the demon out of you.

I want to know if it hurts when I cut you up inside. I want to know if you really hate me or if I really hate you. I want to make me scream, I want to feel the power within me grow. I want you to knock me out, I want you to defeat me. I want something so much more from you than I could ever get. I want you to bleed, I want you to scream. I need you to know you're driving me crazy. I need you to know my soul burns passionately for you every time you give me that look I think I'm going to lose my mind. I want you dead, I want your soul to scream, to earn itself to me. I need you to know this isn't a game anymore. And what would you think if I told you that loved you this whole time? What would you say if I told you I never wanted to hate you, that I never loved you at all? What if I was playing with your mind?

What if I was lying right now? What if I told it was too personal to tell you how I felt about you? What if I told you that everything you've done to me was nothing more than just a wicked fantasies you dreamt of? What if I can't take it back? What if I don't want to? What if everything I said wasn't a lie? What if I tried to bring you back? What if I really did love you? Would you love me back, even though you think of me as a fool? Am I fool to fall in love with you? What if I told you that loving you is so impossible, it's not reality. I couldn't take it anymore. You burn me alive, I'd give myself to you if I could.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh. If I did, then Yugioh would have ended with Bakura and Yami admitting their undying love for one another and Seto would have pulled Joey into a kiss to shut him up because Puppy and Darkshipping rock!

Warnings: My usual, y'all know what that means, but for those of you who happen to be knew to my awesomeness, it means there's lemony goodness!

Summary:

Moments away from destroying Zorc, Yami hesitates, asking Horakhty if she can set Bakura free. She agrees, telling Yami that in order for him to pass into the afterlife, he must break his enemy of the darkness, and he only as a year to do so.

Chapter Four: Screeched

[Anzu's POV]:

"Take dat Ry!" Joey grins blasting some of Ryou's life points away.

Ryou just stares, shrugging. He's so impassive about this duel. Does he not care that he might have to eat Joey's cooking? I shudder. I mean there is, of course, worse food out there to eat, but Joey...he really needs some help.

"How cha like dat, Yug?" Joey asks.

"It was great Joey!" Yugi beams.

"Just don't get too cocky, the duel isn't over yet." I point out.

"Don't worry Anzu," Joey says. "I got dis in da bag!"

Yugi, Mokuba, Tristan, and I continue to watch Ryou and Joey duel. They're neck and neck. When Joey thinks he has the duel won, Ryou turns it right back around. It's amazing how good he is at dueling.

"Ryou, who taught you how to duel?" Yugi asks.

"My dad," he replies.

"That's really cool." Tristan says. "How often do you get to see him?"

Ryou sighs putting two cards face down. "Not too often. Sometimes he comes over for the holidays, but most of the time he's too busy."

"I'm sorry, you should have told us." I say.

"No I couldn't have," Ryou mumbles. Before any of us can reply he looks up at all of us and says, "Let's just get back to the duel."

I wish there was a way to help Ryou. He's always so closed off. He knows we care about him, why won't he confine in us? I know Bakura used to take over his body all the time, but we still would have helped him. That's probably why he's like he is now. He didn't have anyone, or he thought he didn't.

"I win, Joey." Ryou says.

"WAHHH!" Joey exclaims jumping up, dropping his cards. "How the hell did ya do dat?!"

Ryou smirks. "I told you that you were going to lose."

"I can't believe dis!" Joey growls.

"And now you're going to have to dress up for Nii-sama." Mokuba grins. "So let's go upstairs and pick out your outfit." he stands up taking Joey's hand jerking him towards the stairs.

"But…!" Joey protests.

"Good luck Joey!" Yugi calls.

XXXXXXX

[Marik's POV]:

Yami and I sit in silence after our conversation, watching my ex's chest rise and fall. Only Yami, Ryou, and I truly know the dangers of this situation. Everyone else could care less what happens to Bakura, they only see him as someone who is pure evil. Oh how wrong they are.

Yami and I are going to do everything we can to help my friend. He deserves to be happy and I'll do everything in my power to make that come true. He's always been there for me even though he was trying to get revenge and appeared to only care about himself, he understood me in more ways than even my own sister did. She hates him, for good reason, but still…

She doesn't know how close Bakura and I became during Battle City. She just knows he's my best friend. She doesn't like that too much, but there's nothing she can do about it really. I'm not a child anymore, I can take care of myself.

A part of me wanted to go back with her and Odion, but I know Yami needs my help here. He can't save Bakura on his own. He's going to need all the help and support he can possibly get, but the thing is the others won't help. Sure, Yugi will, possibly Anzu. But Joey, Tristan, and Ryou? I doubt it.

Ryou hates his yami, for good reason too. I mean if I was him, I'd be pissed off. It's not like he's wanting Bakura destroyed, he just doesn't want him in his life. Perhaps if Bakura can open up and be himself then everyone will see what I see in him: how wonderful he truly is. No, Bakura has never shown me his true self before, I just sense it. I understand his pain, I guess that's how we got so close, yet we never got close at all.

There's a small knock on the door before it opens.

"Guys you have to get down here!" Yugi shouts before running back downstairs.

Yami and I give each other a look.

"Should we…"

I shrug. "Might as well."

XXXXXXXX

[Joey's POV]:

Mokuba drags me up the stairs and into Kaiba's room. My eyes bulge when I see how huge his room is. His bed is a king sizes, and there's a giant poster of-surprise surprise-Blue-eyes White Dragon. He even has a lamp! I swear! Did guy's obsessed I tell ya!

"Umm Mokuba," I say uneasily as he walks into a walk in closet that could fit three cars in. "Umm...I don't think I should be...I mean won't Kaiba be mad?"

"Part of the bet was to wear something of his and greet him when he comes in from work tonight." Mokuba says coming out of the closet with one of Kaiba's outfits: his white trench coat.

"Umm Mokuba…"

"Oh hush and go put it on!" Mokuba scolds shoving the coat in my hands.

"You know this won't fit right?" I say hoping he'll let me get out of the bet.

"We'll make it fit." he says. "Now in the bathroom you go." he shoves me into the bathroom that's connected to Kaiba's room.

I sigh inwardly closing the door behind me. I can't believe I lost dat duel! I thought I had Ryou. I had Red-eyes Black Dragon, ready to blast him then he plays Change of Heart. I swear I can see why that's his favorite card now! I totally forgot he even had dat! Admittedly, I figured it was going to be an easy duel because I had never see Ry duel before. It was always Bakura that dueled, boy did he prove me wrong!

Well, there's nothing I can really do about it now I suppose, but still. They just had to make me wear one of Kaiba's outfits! His favorite at that! He's going to flip shit when he sees me in it. Well, I suppose taking a shower before hand wouldn't hurt. He'll probably come in around twelve or later, then go off in his room to work some more. He works waaaaayyyy too much.

I strip my clothes, turning the water on. His bathroom is really nice. A nice tile floor and granite double sink. There's a shower in the corner and a round bathtub beside of it. I bet that thing takes forever to fill! It's so huge!

After my shower, I start to put on Kaiba's clothes. Gods he is so tall! I'm walking all over his pants. I'm surprised they fit around my waist though. I'm seriously gonna get it when he sees me in dis...I pull his black shirt over my head. It's really tight against my skin, very warm. At last, I put his white trench coat on. I stare into the large mirror at myself. I still have to put the belts on he always wears, but I left them in his room.

I continue to stare at myself. There's no way I could ever pull this look off. Kaiba, on the other hand, definitely pulls it off. It sucks liking someone...yeah, I like Kaiba, I admit to it. It's annoying. I mean how the hell is that even right? Stupid Kaiba!

"Joey?" Mokuba calls through the door, knocking on it. "Are you alright in there?"

"I'm fine, squirt." I say.

'Well did you fall in?" Mokuba asks. "You've been in there forever."

I laugh, "I'm coming out now." I say.

XXXXXXXX

[Mokuba's POV]:

Today has been a great day. Joey and Ryou had an amazing duel! Joey lost, just as I planned. When Seto sees Joey in his favorite outfit, he's going to be surprised. I know he'll get angry, but he'll thank me in the end. He really cares about Joey, it's just hard for him to express himself.

Like Bakura.

I sigh, staring at the giant poster of Blue-eyes White Dragon on the wall. Nii-sama has always been fond of the dragon. I can't blame him really, it is a pretty cool dragon but sometimes he seems a bit obsessed. I shrug, oh well, that's Seto for you.

I wish there was a way to get him to open up. He's always drowning himself in his work. Always giving the excuse he doesn't trust his workers so he needs to do it himself. I mean I get that, but he can't keep doing this. He needs to let go, laugh. I know he wants to. He's just afraid to. It must suck, being scared to smile. He should know that our friends care about us. Yes, 'our' friends. Whether he wants to admit it or not, they care about him and he cares about them as well. Especially Joey, he brings something out in Seto I thought I'd never see again: happiness.

If only it were that easy. Seto thinks Joey hates him and Joey thinks Seto hates him. Yes, I know that Joey likes Seto too. It's so obvious. You could tell because when Marik bluntly said they should have sex with one another, both of their faces turned bright red. I don't think either of them noticed it though. Well, I did. Heh. My plan will work out, I'll bring them together. I'll make my Nii-sama happy again, just you wait.

Another person that I'm worried about is Bakura. I know he's done bad things. Heck, he even kidnapped me and sent me to the Shadow Realm! But, you can clearly see the pain in his eyes. Just like Seto, he's masking that pain, it's just in a different way. Seto sits in front of his computer drowning himself in hours and hours of work. Bakura, he uses his pain as a source of anger to get revenge against Yami.

At first, I didn't understand it, but then Yugi explained it to me on the boat ride to the place where he and Yami separated themselves. I know Seto believes in the magic of the Items too, he just doesn't want to admit it. I don't know what he's so afraid of. No one is going to make fun of him. Well, he has to believe it now seeing as how we have two Yugi's and Ryou's as he would say. I'm glad we started calling Ryou by his first name instead of his last. That got really confusing when 'Bakura' turned from 'good' to 'evil' in a blink of an eye.

Yami decided that he'd save Bakura. I'm glad. Bakura needs someone strong to help him. Seto's impassive on the whole subject. The only reason he's even allowing Bakura in the house is because of me. I'm not going to let Bakura get hurt because no one cares about him! Even if everyone tries to hurt him when he awakens, I won't let it happen! He may not be my friend, and I may not know a lot of about him, but he's just like Seto in so many ways. He just needs someone to love him, like I love my brother.

I get up from the bed, Joey's been in the shower an awful long time. It's show time.

XXXXXXXX

[Yugi's POV]:

Yami and Marik come downstairs from visiting Bakura. I had gone upstairs to tell them they can't miss what's about to happen. Joey lost the duel to Ryou, now he has to dress up in one of Kaiba's outfits. This should be amusing to say the least. Mokuba said he'd take care of the clothes not fitting seeing as how Kaiba's so tall and all.

"So what's all the commotion about?" Yami asks taking a seat on the couch beside of me.

"Joey lost a duel to me." Ryou says.

Yami's eyes widen. "Really now?"

"Yup," Tristan says taking a sip of his drink. "You should have seen it."

"So where is he?" Marik asks.

"Getting ready," Tristan replies.

"Why to pay up for his bet." Ryou says.

Yami gives him a look. "What did you guys bet on?"

Ryou smirks. "You'll see."

"It's going to get Nii-sama and Joey together." Mokuba squeals coming down the stairs.

"Where's Joey?" Anzu asks.

"Upstairs still. He's still getting ready, he said he wanted some time to himself." Mokuba replies taking a seat in a chair.

"I still can't believe we're making him to this." I giggle. "Did you fix the outfit so it'd fit?"

Mokuba nods. "Sure did, it looks great on him!" he beams.

"I bet! Kaiba's always had great clothes." Anzu says.

"Not as good as mine." Marik smirks.

"You're so full of yourself." Tristan grumbles.

"You'd like to be full of me-"

Tristan gags.

I laugh, "So," I say turning to Yami. "How is sleeping beauty?"

"Hmm?"

"Bakura," I say rolling my eyes. "How is he?"

"The doctors say he should wake up soon." Marik replies.

"He's not going to want to." Ryou says.

"Well, we're just going to have to give him a reason to wake up." I say.

XXXXXXX

[Seto's POV]:

I rub my eyes, yawning. It's getting close to midnight, I know I should leave. Hell, I should have been gone, but work is more important than my rest. I have to make sure Mokuba has everything he wants. I didn't have a childhood, he'll have one. I won't tear his happiness away because I want to get some z's.

Everyone else has already left. They're not as devoted as I am. I always have to pick up their slack. I've had to fire a few fools just this week because of their insolence! I turn off my computer, gather my things and head out the door. I hear my phone ring.

"Yes Mokuba, I'm coming." I say before he can even ask.

"Okay, good. Hurry up!" he shouts through the phone. I hear the dial tone and I hang up as well, shoving the phone in my pocket.

I finally get home and I'm greeted by a sight that leaves me completely speechless.

XXXXXXXX

[Joey's POV]:

"Joey!" Mokuba shouts from the stairs. "Are you coming!"

"No!" I shout.

"But you have to!" Mokuba shouts. "You lost the bet!"

"I don't-"

Suddenly, the door opens.

"Mokuba I already told you-" I shout but stop when I see instead of Mokuba in the doorway, it's Yug.

"Oh, hey Yug." I mumble.

"Oh Joey, you look great! You should come down. Kaiba's really going to like it!" Yugi says.

I give my best friend a look. "I don't want to impress Kaiba," I growl. "I can't believe I lost dat duel!"

"It's going to be okay Joey." Yugi says putting a hand on my arm. "Let's get downstairs, Kaiba should be here soon."

I sigh heavily. "Alright, let's just get dis shit over with."

"Oh don't be that way, you have to take your time wooing Kaiba." Yugi says.

I feel my face heat up.

Yug giggles. "Let's go!"

XXXXXXXX

Yug drags me down the stairs skipping happily. I have no idea what he is so happy about, but I'm glad he's happy. Everyone is in the living room.

"Look at you!" Anzu beams.

"You look really good Joey!" Ryou says.

"You guys are just saying dat." I mumble.

"No, no we're being serious." Anzu says.

"So, ya ready man?" Tristan asks.

I sigh. "Ready as I'll ever be."

"I'll call Nii-sama!" Mokuba shouts rushing into another room to call his brother. He comes back a few minutes later. "Seto's on his way."

"Just great." I groan pacing back and forth in the room.

"Joey, you're getting yourself worked up for nothing." Yug says.

"Ha, I doubt dat!"

"Joey, Yugi's right," Yami says. "Kaiba's not going to hurt you, we won't let him."

"I will." Marik says.

"Hey!" I cry.

"He's here!" Mokuba exclaims jumping. "C'mon!" he jerks me towards the door.

"Mokuba I don't-"

"Oh quiet!" Mokuba chatises. "Now stand here, we'll be in the living room."

"But-!"

Before I have time to protest he leaves. As soon as I turn my head, Kaiba's right there, his eyes wide. We stare at each other for what seems like forever.

"Umm...Kaiba I…" I stutter, my face heating up at the way he's staring at me.

"NII-SAMA!" Mokuba shouts running over to his brother, hugging him around his waist. "How was work?"

"Fine," he replies still staring at me.

"Joey, are you going to take Seto's things?" Mokuba winks at me.

I growl. "Kaiba, hand me your shit."

"Like hell!" he hisses. "What's going on?"

XXXXXXXX

[Seto's POV]:

Mokuba laid out the details to me about what had happened today while I was gone at work. Apparently, Ryou and the mutt dueled, betting. Wheeler, as always, lost and he was forced to dress up in one of my outfits and greet me when I came in from work. Well, this should be amusing.

"So how long do I have to be your slave, Kaiba?" Wheeler sighs dreadfully.

"Hmm…" I say in mock though. "How about-"

"Don't go overboard Nii-sama," Mokuba warns. "Unless you don't want to-"

"Three days should suffice," I say quickly cutting my brother off so he won't finish that sentence.

"Dat's so unfair!" Wheeler cries.

"Would you like for me to make it a week?" I smirk.

"No!" he growls.

"Then shut up and bring me some tea," I say leaning back in my chair and snapping my fingers.

"Ungrateful prick." I hear him mutter under his breath before he disappears into the kitchen. I watch him out of the corner of my eye. I have to admit, he looks pretty good in my clothes. I have no doubt this is Mokuba's doing.

I turn to my brother, "Have the doctors been keeping an eye out on Bakura?" I ask.

No, I don't really care about the fool. He's just in my house and the faster he wakes his ass up the sooner I can kick these fools out so I can get back to real shit.

"Bakura's doing better," Yami replies.

"Hmm," I grunt turning my laptop on.

"Since when have you cared about Bakura?" Anzu asks.

"I don't," I say. "I just want him out of this house."

"And where is he supposed to go?" Yami asks.

I look up from my laptop. "You're kidding me right? You seriously thought that he was staying here? What do I look like? You're the one that wanted to try and save him. He's your problem. As soon as he awakens, I don't want any of you coming over here again!" I spit turning back to my computer, fingers flying on the keyboard.

"We don't have that much room, Kaiba." Yugi says.

I shrug. "Not my problem."

"Here," Wheeler growls setting the cup down beside of me on the small table.

I pick it up taking a sip. "Good mutt, you pass the tea exam." I say.

Wheeler growls. "Can I go to bed now?"

"Not until I do." I say.

"But..!"

"You have to do what he says, Joey." Ryou reminds him. "It was part of the bet."

"Ya guys just set me up I swear." he mumbles under his breath before taking a seat on the couch beside Yugi.

"So are we staying here tonight?" Anzu asks looking at everyone.

"Nii-sama-"

"Oh whatever!" I snap.

I'm not in the mood for argument. Besides, Wheeler will leave if they do, and since everyone's going to bed I can get some peace...somewhat.

XXXXXXXXX

[A few weeks later…]:

[Yami's POV]:

It's been about a month since I asked Horakhty to set Bakura free. He hasn't awakened yet. The doctors said his body is doing fine, but they can't figure out why he won't awaken. Since the doctors can no longer 'fix' him, Kaiba ordered us to take Bakura out of his house. We decided to have him in one of the guest bedrooms. They're not that big, but I don't know what else to do.

Ryou's gone home. His father called a few days ago saying he's going to be home for a while. I'm glad he's able to see him. I know he misses him a lot. Marik's staying at the Game Shop with Yugi and me. He's sleeping in the other room. He's been up for the past three days keeping an eye on Bakura. I took him in the room across the hall to let him sleep.

I sit in a chair beside of Bakura. Marik and I have been taking turns watching him. Yugi helps out too. Joey, Tristan, and Anzu aren't too keen on helping Bakura, but they help regardless.

I wished I knew what was going through Bakura's mind. Kaiba said that it's my own fault I'm in the predicament I'm in. I know it is, but he doesn't understand...no one does...I just couldn't leave him in the hands of Zorc. Marik said that if we believe that Bakura will awaken, he will. I want to believe that, but it's been nearly a month!

"Bakura," I whisper taking his hand before I can stop myself.

Yugi said I've been acting strangely lately. I suppose I am, but it's hard to act so composed when so many thoughts are going through my mind. I have to get Bakura to wake up Otherwise…

He'll die. And as much as I dislike him, I can't let something like that happen.

"I'll set you free from this darkness." I whisper, my hand involuntarily tightening around his. "Mark my words, I'll save you."

XXXXXXXX

[Marik's POV]:

Bakura's been out for nearly a month. I knew this was going to take a while, but I didn't realize it'd take this long. Yami and I have been taking turns watching over him, making sure he's okay. His body's doing fine, but he still doesn't want to awaken. I have stayed with him for the three days. I can hardly eat or sleep anymore. Something terrible is happening to my best friend and I have to make sure I'm awake to sense any changes within him. The others have tried to help, but when you don't care about someone there's no way you can help them. They're trying though, I suppose that's good enough for me.

I notice that I'm lying on a bed. Okay, I was in 'Bakura's' room a few moments ago so...I sit up, my eyes widen when I realize I'm in another room. I must have fallen asleep and Yami took me into another room. Figures. I hope he's watching Bakura now. I stand up, walking across the hall to the room Bakura's in. I slowly open the door, my eyes widen at the sight I'm seeing.

XXXXXXX

[Bakura's POV]:

Pain and power consume my entire being as Zorc completely takes over my body. I allow him to do so. This is what we've been waiting for. I'll finally have my revenge! The priests are weak, the Egyptian Gods turned to stone. The Pharaoh is kneeling before me, just as he should. This couldn't get any more perfect….

Suddenly, I'm feeling more pain than ever before as I'm thrown into the Shadow Realm. I stand up, my legs shaking as I struggle to stand up. I fall a few times. What's going on?! I scream as pain erupts throughout me sending me on my knees. Tears stream down my face.

All I can hear is his roars of pain. What's happening out there?! I try to tap into the Ring only to realize I don't have it on me. I hiss. I can't see outside of this realm! I begin shaking violently, coughing up blood. What could be causing me so much…

My eyes widen in realization.

The Pharaoh knows his name.

I failed. I failed them, not only this time around, but another time as well. I thought I had this. I put a piece of my spirit into Tristan's mind so he'd ensure that I wouldn't lose. It backfired. Everything always backfires! The Pharaoh always wins! It's not fair! I hate this! I hate him!

My hands grip the dark sand as the pain spreads throughout my body. I fight back the urge to scream. I've never felt such pain before. I can hear Zorc's roars of pain. This is it then? I'm going to die of this unbearable agony? To drown in my despair?

I clench my eyes shut, begging for the tears, the pain, all of it to disappear. I'm tired of it! I wished there was some way I could make them proud of me. That I could save them.

The pain is getting worse and worse with each passing second. I don't know how much more I can take. Zorc will be gone soon and so will I.

My heart pounds at the thought of that. So this is what I get? For teaming up with Zorc? Unbearable pain and punishment? Fate is so cruel. Can't they see that the Pharaoh deserves pain too? No one gets it, no one ever will. Marik came close, but even he will never understand. He turned goody good after Mariku was expelled from his body by the Pharaoh.

"Help!" I exclaim against my will.

I just want this pain to be over. I think I've suffered enough. If they're going to kill me, they just need to do it because I'm sick and tired of waiting on death. I already know I'm going to be destroyed, they might as well get it over and done with. Being destroyed will be better than going through this pain. It's not the psychical pain that I'm wanting to get rid of, it's this misery I have inside of me.

"I'm sorry," I whisper staring at the ground. My tears splatter against the sand causing it to become wet. I"m not sure who I'm saying to sorry to though or why I'm even saying it. I guess my mind is going with me. There will be nothing left of me. I close my eyes, taking a deep breath waiting for my destruction.

But it never comes.

I slowly open my eyes. My mind is swimming. Where am I? This isn't the Shadow Realm. Sure, it's dark in here, but not as dark as the Shadow Realm. I look over to my right and notice there's a lamp on a small dresser. Alright, now I know I'm not in the Shadow Realm. So then…

"So you're finally awake." a familiar deep voice penetrates my core. I turn to the source. Oh no. It can't be!

"Pharaoh?" I rasp. Gods, my voice sounds horrible! I tell you such weakness!

"Are you okay?" he asks.

I blink, staring at him. Why is he concern about me? He must think I'm Ryou, yeah that's it. There's no way he'd be nice to me.

I sit up slowly. It's taking all of my willpower to do so. My whole body is in pain, probably because I hadn't moved it in so long. Ugh. I swear! The Pharaoh stands up, pushing me back down on the bed.

"Bakura need to rest, you're very weak." he says.

I grab his wrists, jerking him off of me. He stumbles backwards. I swing my legs over the bed, standing up on shaky legs.

"I'll show you weak, you fool!" I snarl before pouncing on him.

XXXXXXXX

Oh the epicness (yeah I realize that's not a word, but it is in Jessish. Yup it's my own language..) has begun! Did y'all like the Puppyshipping in this chappie? Well, hints more or less...they're not together yet but y'all get what I mean :D. Anyways, BAKURA IS AWAKE! *dies* Next chappie things are going to get rolling! Sorry about how boring these past chappies have been. I had to have the right moment for Kura to awaken, and this chappie was perfect! So like I said, next chappie is going to kick ass and awesome!

Oh another thing..do y'all want Hearthshipping or Librashipping. Because I have never done Heart before but I know some of my fans like it so...I COULD do either one...but Puppy and Dark (obviously) are staying put. So yeah just let me know guys! Anyways, I hope y'all enjoyed! Review lovelies!
