A quick recap: When Bakura learns, from his yami, about what happened between Yami Bakura and Marik, he tries to set things right and help them out. He takes Marik to his soul room and shows him what Yami Bakura told him earlier about the situation. Marik decides to leave Bakura's soul room and go talk to Yami Bakura.
Ryou (hikari): "Ryou"
Bakura (yami): "Yami Bakura"

R&R

ENJOY~!

Marik had reached the door. He reached a hand out towards he doorknob to Ryou's soul room. But all of a sudden, Ryou was directly in front of his hand.

Marik froze and looked up. Ryou was standing in front of his soul room door, his arms spread out on either side of him. His face was expressionless.

Marik drew his hand back and let it rest on his hip. "Move aside, Ryou," he said frantically. "I need to talk to Bakura."

Ryou frowned. "No! I can't let you!"

"And why the [EFF!] not?"

"Because..." Ryou lowered his arms. "Bakura plans to come talk to you. Meaning that he doesn't want you to go to him!"

"Did you not hear my whole speech about how if I wait for him he'll probably end up ignoring me?!"

"I know him well, and believe me it's better to wait than catch him in a bad mood."

"I know him as well! Do you even know how long we're been partners?"

"I've—"

"In crime."

"I've been with him longer! Over eight years, I believe! Don't act like you know him better than I do! I'm pretty sure you've only known him for at most two or three years. Am I right?"

Marik's eyes widened. "Well holy frig eight years. How did you keep your sanity?"

Ryou closed his eyes and shuddered. "Practice and therapy. And card games." He opened his eyes. "But that is beside the point! The point is that I know you shouldn't go talk to him yet!"

"I don't care what you say! This isn't about you! This is between me and him. You are so lucky I don't have the Millenium Rod with me right now!"

Ryou took a step back. Or tried to. All he did was bump into the door which was slightly ajar. "No... You would really do that to me...in my soul room...would you?"

"Maybe I would! Now move aside, Limey Man!"

Marik managed to shove Ryou out of the way. He pulled the door open and ran into the hallway.

Ryou prevented himself from falling to the floor by grabbing onto the door frame. He pulled himself up and followed Marik out.

He lunged for Marik's leg, falling to the floor as he successfully grabbed it and stopped Marik in his tracks.

Marik raised his arms and looked behind him and down. He saw Ryou latched onto his leg and tried to shake him off. "Ugh! Get off!"

"No!" Ryou cried, holding in tighter. "I won't let you!"

Marik reached down to try to pry Ryou off of his leg. But before he could, Ryou let go, stood up, and ran in front of Marik, between him and the door to Yami Bakura's soul room.

Marik stood up straight and turned to him. "If you don't move, I'll be forced to move you forcefully. Using force."

"I can take you on!" Ryou said with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

"And how are you going to do that?" Marik raised his arms and flexed his very sexy arm muscles, then stood in a way that brought attention to his very sexy midriff.

*several Marik fangirls faint and nosebleed*

"Simple," Ryou said confidently. "The British way!"

Marik stood normally. "Wha?"

Ryou began wildly waving and swinging his arms in Marik's direction. Then he took a few steps closer so his arms were almost hitting Marik.

Marik leaned away from Ryou's arms with a confused look on his face. Then he frowned and shrugged and started doing the same. He took a step closer.

Now their arms were wildly swinging at each other and occasionally getting tangled. But that didn't halt or slow their little weird hikari battle thing. They closed their eyes and turned their heads away from each other, just in case the other person made a breakthrough and hit their face.

"You're not getting past me!" Ryou shouted.

"Says who?!" Marik shot back. "I'm stronger than you and you know it!"

"But I'm the master of this game! You'll never beat me!"

"Dream on, Ryourik! I'll keep fighting until I get past you and talk to Bakura!"

"Don't call me that!"

"You can't keep partners in crime apart forever!"

"He's already irritated enough! You saw how he kicked me out!"

"I don't care!"

They "fought" on.

Neither of them noticed Yami Bakura standing off to the side, watching them with his unamused "I don't care" face on.

After another minute of watching them fight, he walked over to them, walked right between them, put his hands on their foreheads, and pushed them away from each other as far as he could.

They didn't seem to notice and kept on swinging and waving their arms wildly, still trying to hit the other hikari. They just ended up hitting Yami Bakura's arms several times.

After a minute of this, Yami Bakura spoke up. "Both of you, stop it now," he said, his voice annoyed and his face unamused.

"Bugger off, Yami!" Ryou shouted, still waving his arms.

"Yeah! Frig off, Bakura!" Marik cried, also continuing to wave his arms around wildly. "This is between hikaris."

Yami Bakura sighed in boredom and waited for them to realized that he was there.

About five minutes, the hikaris finally realized something.

They stopped waving their arms, opened their eyes, and looked at the person between them.

They exclaimed at the same time: "Bakura!"

Lolz plot twist!

See you next chapter!
