IkutosGirl: Hey everyone! Is it just me, or have I been uploading quickly? :D
Bakura: It's just you…
IkutosGirl: Someone's a little grumpy. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the soul room?
Bakura: That wasn't funny.
IkutosGirl: …That's what she said…
Ryou's POV
I snatched the Millennium Ring from its hook and placed it around my neck. Almost immediately it began to pull me towards the downstairs. I allowed it to pull me all the way to the living room. Then the Ring began to glow extremely brightly and with a final tug it sent me towards the couch.
The Ring's spikes began to shake erratically against my chest, slightly scratching me in the process. I cursed to myself but continued. I knelt down next to the couch and began to search under it with my hands. Eventually I felt something cold touch my fingers. I grabbed it out from under the couch right away.
"You have to be joking…" I whispered to myself unbelievably. Yami and Yugi had actually been dumb enough to hide the Millennium Key under my couch. I was shaking with excitement; it had been SO easy! Quickly I stood up and raced towards the upstairs. I tossed the Millennium Ring onto my bed and silently tiptoed over to Bakura's room.
"Please don't be too mad at me Bakura." I prayed to myself as I stood next to Bakura. I concentrated on the Key in my hand. Suddenly I was enveloped in darkness, falling faster and faster. As quickly as it had begun, it was over. I was standing in a very familiar hallway. Involuntarily, I sighed with relief, noting how my room was the farthest thing from tainted.
I walked over to Bakura's door and fearlessly walked into his soul room. It was quite dark, but I could still vaguely make out the shape of a door near the back of the room. I walked towards it slowly. Somewhere along the line my mind had registered the fact that I hadn't seen Bakura in his soul room; I ignored it completely and went on. I reached the door and turned the knob carefully. Easily, the door swung open.
"B-Bakura?" I managed to say before my mouth closed shut.
Bakura's POV
"Hello, Ryou." I said to the innocent boy that was in front of me. Ryou's eyes were filled to the brim with disbelief, but more importantly fear. And even though I thought it was impossible his eyes doubled in size as I took a step closer to him.
"B-Bakura… what happened?" Ryou asked, his voice drenched with despair already. He had always been on the bright side. To be honest, it was completely obvious that he knew what was coming. I smiled at Ryou, reassuring him that I knew that he was aware of his position. He slowly began to back away.
"No you don't!" I yelled at him. I lunged at his body, sending us both to the floor.
"Please… B-Bakura…" Ryou whimpered. Something in me stirred as I saw the boy begin to shed tears. Then again, why couldn't this boy have a back bone?! He sure as hell needed one! Just then Ryou reached into his jean's pocket and pulled out a familiar golden object.
"The Millennium Key!" I gasped in surprise. Ryou's eyes once again widened as he took a double take, looking to and from me and the precious item in his hand.
"I'm sorry…" Ryou said softly under his breath. He began to dissipate from underneath me. Then suddenly both the Key and Ryou were gone.
Ryou's POV
I dried my eyes with my shirt's sleeve. I was standing next to Bakura's sleeping figure. He was tossing and turning and I felt so bad for him. After debating for a while in my head I decided to wake Bakura. Just when I was about to shake his shoulders I stopped. Bakura opened his eyes. I froze, my eyes fixed on him, anticipating the worse.
"Bakura I-I'm glad to see-" I began, almost too nervous to speak. Before I could continue Bakura pulled me into a tight hug.
"I'm so sorry." Bakura whined into my ear. All the malice that had been in his voice earlier was completely gone. I didn't know what to say so I just let him embrace me for longer. Before I knew it I was relaxing into Bakura's arms.
"I love you." Bakura whispered into my ear; breaking the once peaceful and quiet air. I froze once again.
"You… what?!"
IkutosGirl: OMG what a shocker! Does Bakura have feelings for Ryou, is he going too far, or is this one sick joke? Find out in the next chapter! :D
Ryou: Aren't you gonna say sorry for the super long update?
IkutosGirl: The what?
Bakura: You know how you finished half the chapter and abandoned it for about 2 weeks.
IkutosGirl: Since when?
Ryou: You're hopeless!
IkutosGirl: I'm what?
Bakura: **** it! She's ****ing sorry and wishes for all your ****ing forgiveness!
IkutosGirl: What he said! :D
Bakura and Ryou: AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
