~xX-Chapter #6-Xx~

~xX-last time-Xx~

Ryou took Ginger Snap-Cookie on a date to the amusement park. Later on, he took her into the haunted house. Ryou and Bakura killed Ginger together. A week later, the principal told the whole school that Ginger was found dead. Ryou was so bummed out that he was allowed to go home. Malik took Ryou home.

"Ryou," Malik said quietly.

Ryou slowly glanced at Malik.

"I know your secret."

~xX-now for the rest of the story-Xx~

Ryou blinked once. "What secret?"

"You have an other half, don't you?" Malik asked.

"Other half?" Ryou asked.

Malik pulled his Millennium Rod from his belt loop and started stroking it. "You know…a darker half of your soul."

Ryou's eyes widened a bit. /Kura?/

Bakura appeared beside Ryou in his spirit form. "So you know that I exist?" he crossed his arms over his chest.

Malik nodded. "I too have a darker half of my soul."

A spirit appeared beside the Egyptian boy. He looked like an older version of Malik. The only difference though was that his hair stuck straight up into the air. He also crossed his arms over his chest.

"Hello, Marik," Bakura said, his voice emotionless.

Marik smiled. "Hello, Bakura."

"You two know each other?" Malik asked.

Ryou stared up at Bakura with his large chocolate eyes. "Kura? How do you know him?"

Bakura sat on the coffee table, facing Ryou. "Back in Ancient Egypt, him and I were friends."

Marik sat down beside Bakura. "Yeah, we lied, cheated, stole, and killed together."

Malik stared at Marik with wide eyes. "You killed?"

Marik glanced at Malik, nodding. "Yeah. A lot too." Marik glanced at Bakura. "But in this world, you got a new partner, don't you, Bakura?"

Ryou's eyes widened.

Bakura glanced at Marik. "And so what if I do?"

Marik glanced at the young whitenet teen. "He's a cute kid," he told Bakura. "I never thought he'd be the type to go and kill. I would've thought that he wouldn't let you do anything was cruel."

"Well then you don't know me," Ryou told the Egyptian spirit with a secret smile.

Malik glanced between Ryou and Marik. "What're you saying, Ryou?"

Ryou glanced at Malik. "I lie, cheat, steal, and kill."

Malik's eyes widened. "I didn't think you-"

"Well I do."

Marik glanced at Bakura. "And I'm guessing that you have something to do with that girl's death."

"I did, but I'm not the one who started it," Bakura replied. "I also wasn't the one who worked the hardest to get everything set up. That credit has to go to my host."

Ryou blushed under everyone's gaze as they stared at him.

"So you killed your fiancé?" Malik asked.

"Sort of," Ryou replied. "I actually spent the time finger painting on the wall with her blood."

"That's sick," Marik commented.

"Like you never did that?" Bakura asked.

Marik shrugged. "So, were you also involved with killing the old gym teacher?"

Bakura nodded. "How'd you know?"

"The knife up his ass," Marik replied. "Did you do the same to the girl?"

"Ryou did that."

Ryou smiled his angelic smile when Marik looked over at him.

"Really?" Marik asked. "He looks too good to be true."

Bakura smiled. "That's my host. He's a very likable person. And thanks to him looking so

innocent, him and I will be able to accomplish our goal."

"Is it the one where you want to get the Millennium Items?"

Bakura nodded. "I've always had a fascination for them, but this time it's different. If I get

all of them, then I'll be able to have my own body."

"Is that why you want them?" Ryou asked.

"Yeah, Host. I figured it would be easier on you if I had my own body."

"But I don't mind," the whitenet teen replied.

Bakura flashed a smile. "I know, but how can we be together if I'm a spirit?"

"But you're not a spirit all the time."

Bakura sighed. "I can't hold a solid form for that long. Besides, if I had my own body, we'd be able to go places together. Don't you want that?"

Ryou blushed and looked down at his hands.

Marik placed a hand on Bakura's shoulder. "Well, looks like we should join forces."

"What do you mean?" Bakura asked, his body tensing slightly.

"Well I don't want to be a spirit forever either. In fact, I already got a few Millennium Items."

Ryou glanced up. "Which ones?"

"The Scale, the Key, and of course the Rod," Marik answered. "We still need to get the

Necklace, which Ishizu has, the Eye, which Pegasus has, and the Ring, which you won't give up."

"How do we have all of those?" Malik asked. "And don't forget that I told you not to break the law."

Marik sighed. "Do you want to be together?" he asked Malik. "If you do, then you'll let me do what I do best."

Malik blushed and glanced away.

"I'm glad I got the host that understands," Bakura said. "Mine's also cuter."

"If you say so," Marik muttered.

"It'd be so much more fun if we all got the Millennium Items together, don't you think so too, Kura?" Ryou stared up into the whitenet spirit's eyes with his large chocolate-eyed puppy dog look. "You do think so too, yes, Kura?"

Bakura was caught in the gaze of the younger teen. "If that's what you want, Host, then that's what you get."

Ryou smiled his angelic smile again. "Thanks, Kura!" he exclaimed happily.

"Well, if it's for a good cause, then I guess I can let you break the law, Marik." Malik sighed. "But you better not go on a killing spree every night."

"I won't, I swear," Marik said.

Malik narrowed his eyes slightly. "I'll be keeping my eyes on you."

~xX-Xx~

There was a knock on the door.

Malik got up and went to the door. He opened it and glanced at the group of teens standing there. "Hello, guys," he said.

"Is Ryou all right?" Tea asked.

"He'll be fine."

"Can we see him?" Joey asked.

Malik shook his head. "Sorry, but he's sleeping at the moment. It seems like hearing of Ginger's death drained him of all energy."

"Okay," Yugi said. "We'll come back another time then."

The Egyptian smiled. "All right…I'll tell him you stopped by."

The group left moments later.

Malik shut the door and went back into the living room. He sat down on the couch again.

"They wanted to see me, didn't they?" Ryou asked.

Malik nodded. "I told them you were sleeping."

Ryou yawned. "Well I am getting tired. I think I will go to sleep."

"Do you want me to go home?" Malik asked.

Ryou shook his head before resting it on the Egyptian's shoulder. "Nah, it's fun having you here," he said quietly, closing his eyes.

Malik listened as Ryou's breathing deepened and slowed. He wrapped an arm around the whitenet's shoulders and pulled him into his embrace.

Bakura watched as the younger teen slept.

Marik glanced at the other spirit and saw that the other had a small smile on his face. "Hey, Bakura, can we talk in the other room?"

Bakura stood. "Sure."

The two walked out of the living room and into the kitchen.

~xX-kitchen-Xx~

Marik leant against the wall. "You're in love with him, aren't you?"

"How long did it take you to figure that out?" Bakura asked.

Marik switched places with Bakura, pushing him against the wall. "So, you found yourself a new lover. I'm happy for you."

"We're not lovers."

"Really?"

"No, we're not. We haven't had sex yet. And I'm not going to do anything like that until I get my own body. What about you?"

Marik smirked. "Malik and I've had mad make-out sessions in his soul room."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Same thing. I want to have my own body before we do anything else."

Bakura nodded in understanding. "Who do you think we should go after?

"Pegasus."

Bakura smirked. "Good choice," he said.

~xX-Xx~

Ryou and Malik managed to sneak into the plane's cargo hold. The whitenet dropped the duffle bag that he was carrying and plopped down on a pile of suitcases. "We should get comfortable. We have a long plane ride to Duelist Kingdom."

Malik nodded and sat down on someone's suitcase.

Soon, the plane was ready to leave the airport. It was driven down the runway and then lifted into the air.

The two teens had to dodge luggage to keep from getting hurt. But after a few minutes later, the plane was leveled out.

Malik glanced at Ryou who had a strange look in his brown eyes. "Are you thinking the same thing I am?"

"About messing with everyone's luggage?" Ryou asked.

Malik nodded.

Marik and Bakura appeared behind their hosts. They watched as the two boys switched things with other people's luggage.

"Talk about strange kids," Marik muttered.

"At least they're having fun," Bakura replied. He watched Ryou put a pile of women's skimpy nightclothes in a man's trunk.

~xX-duelist kingdom-Xx~

As soon as the plane landed and the cargo hold door opened, Ryou knocked a trunk down.

An employee in a security uniform walked into the plane's cargo hold. "Hello? Is anyone in here?" the man asked. He walked farther into the cargo hold, glancing around at the shadowed piles of luggage.

Ryou jumped out of the shadows near the entrance of the cargo hold and buried a knife into the security man's neck, snapping the spinal cord. He pulled the knife free and wiped the blood off on the man's clothes. He took hold of the duffle bag that he had brought with him, and pocketed the knife.

The two teens snuck out of the cargo hold, glancing around. They ran across the runway, dodging any encounters with the employees of the airport and were soon in front of the building. Malik opened the door of an awaiting taxi and slipped into after the whitenet.

"Where to?" the driver of the yellow taxi asked, glancing at the teen's in the rearview mirror.

"We're going to Maximillion Pegasus's castle," Ryou replied.

The driver nodded and drove off.

~xX-pegasus's castle-Xx~

"You can drop us off right here," Ryou told the driver, discreetly pulling the knife from his pocket. He glanced around before driving the knife into the man's spinal cord, snapping his neck.

Malik opened the door, took hold of Ryou's hand, and pulled him from the backseat of the taxi. He dragged him away from the murder victim and into the nearby cover of the woods. After a while of sprinting past the trees, the Egyptian stopped and turned towards the whitenet. "You need to stop killing random people, Ryou," he told the other teen.

Ryou flashed the Egyptian his innocent, angelic smile, making the other teen's heart skip a beat. "I think it's fun," he said, then became serious. "Besides, I don't want anyone alive who could have seen us."

Bakura and Marik appeared beside the two teens. The whitenet spirit had his arms crossed over his chest while the Egyptian spirit grinned.

"Oh, come on, Malik, don't worry about it," Marik said, wrapped an arm around Malik's shoulders. "Just let the kid be, he's having a lot of fun."

Malik shook his head. "He's killing random people and I can't stand for that."

Ryou clasped his hands as he stared up at the Egyptian teen with his large puppy-dog look. "But it's all for a good cause, Malik," he told him, tears in his eyes. "I thought you understood that."

Malik felt his heart beat faster as he stared at his friend. "I-I do, but…it's still wrong to kill people."

"But you were having fun too," Ryou commented. "I could feel it."

Bakura grinned. "You can't keep beat his puppy dog look, it's impossible."

Malik sighed. "Fine…" he muttered, "I guess I was having fun."

Ryou smiled and wrapped his arms around Malik, hugging him tightly. He kissed the other's cheek, smiling. "I knew that faking to cry would help."

"You were faking?"

Ryou nodded, releasing his friend. "I just wanted to get you to say that you were having fun."

"You're a great actor."

"I know."

"When can we go in to take care of Pegasus?" Marik asked, interrupting the two teens.

Bakura glanced at Ryou.

"Tonight," Ryou answered. "Kura wanted to just go in, get the Item, and get out. But I convinced him that it would best to go at night while he's sleeping."

"Do I want to know how you convinced him?" Marik asked.

Ryou flashed his innocent smile, saying all he needed to in only that angelic smile.

~xX-that night-Xx~

Ryou and Malik climbed up the rope attached to the grappling hook. They pulled themselves over the balcony wall and stepped up to the fancy glass double doors that led to Pegasus's huge, elaborate bedroom.

Bakura and Marik appeared beside the king-sized bed, watching the two teens.

"How are you going to get his Millennium Item?" Marik asked.

Ryou smiled and pulled a brown bottle and a soft cloth from the backpack he carried. He poured some of the clear liquid on the cloth, put the lid on the bottle, and slid it back into his backpack. He stepped up to Pegasus's bed and gently held the cloth to the man's mouth and nose.

Pegasus opened his eyes, his body trying to jump up. He fell back a moment later, his eyes rolling into the back of his head and closing.

Ryou removed the cloth, folded it, and returned it to his backpack. He slid Pegasus's long silver hair out of the way, so that he could see the Millennium Eye. He pulled the Item from the man's eye socket and held it up to the light to gaze at it. "Look at it shine," he whispered before dropping it into a secure pocket inside the backpack.

Bakura smiled. "That's one more Item that we have."

Marik laughed. "Just two more and we'll have our own bodies."

"Can we go now?" Malik asked, impatient.

Ryou smiled at the Egyptian teen and the two spirits. "Yeah, we've finished what we needed to do, so we can leave."

"Yes! We're going back to Japan!" Malik exclaimed.
