Chapter Thirteen

Yami Bakura fumed as he glared at his other. "Why is it that I can never trust you? You are nothing but a weak tattletale always running to Yami Yugi with your problems!" He yelled, his voice echoing inside Bakura's head. "Can't you do anything on your own? You have to get that pharaoh to help you? Pathetic vermin!" He hissed.

"I'm going to put my plan into action soon. Just you wait." Yami Bakura spat as he glared at Bakura. "And when I do, nobody will know what hit them!" The white haired demon began to laugh uncontrollably and the laughter echoed inside Bakura's head, forcing him to wake with a gasp.

He shivered to himself as he sat up in his bed to try and breathe a little more easily. Why wouldn't these dreams just go away? He buried his face in his hands but would not let himself cry. He heard the door open and looked up to find both Yugi and Yami coming toward him. He immediately felt safer within their presence.

"Are you okay?" Yugi asked, sitting on his knees beside the bed. Yami looked just as concerned as he sat in the chair that was still near the bed.

Bakura smiled and nodded, "I'm fine, just another dream. I'm sorry I woke you." He said.

"Actually we were still awake." Yugi shrugged. "With the excitement today I forgot to check the stock in the storage room. So I decided to do it now." He explained.

Bakura sighed, "Sorry." He mumbled.

Yugi only smiled, not knowing what to say. The smaller boy knew that anything he would say to Bakura wouldn't help. Bakura just assumed that everything was his fault and there was nothing that would make him think otherwise. "I'm ready for bed, move over." Yugi said as he climbed into the bed beside Bakura, the white haired boy stunned.

"Wouldn't you rather sleep in your bed with Yami?" Bakura wondered slowly.

Yugi snorted, "Yami snores." He said as he got comfortable.

"I do not!" Yami insisted, sticking his nose into the air.

Yugi rolled his eyes. "Whatever you say your majesty." He yawned, "Are you getting in or not?" Yugi wondered and Yami huffed, but crawled into the bed anyway after turning off the lights.

It took Bakura a long time to fall asleep. He felt the pressure of both the other bodies on either side of him and he couldn't help but feel guilty. *They love each other and I'm coming in between that. I should go home tomorrow and stay out of their way. I know Yami said that. . .that they both care for me, but. . .* He closed his eyes, not wanting to think anymore.

"They only feel sorry for you." Yami Bakura was there once his eyes were closed. "Do you really believe that someone could actually like *you*?" He laughed as if it were the funniest thing he'd ever heard. "For one thing, they want to be in a relationship, and you've got too much emotional baggage, why would they waste their time on you?" He looked at his former light and his grin turned into a frown.

"But if you don't get close to them I'll never be able to work out my plan. As you said *hikari* I am a part of you and I always will be." He laughed evilly. "Stay close to the pharaoh weakling, or I'll have to hurt the little one." He threatened then the image slowly disappeared.
