Chapter One: Zorc's Planet Hell

Ryou wondered how this had happened.

The last thing he remembered, he had been laying on the couch in his house, talking to the Spirit of the Sennen Ring, Bakura Touzoku. Bakura did have his own body, but he and Ryou had recently learned how to use their mindlink.

The next thing he knew, he was surrounded by darkness, and when he awoke, he was hanging from a giant wall in the Shadow Realm, his wrists bound by thick black chains holding him in place.

He thought back to the feeling of absolute coldness that had surrounded him, and it made him terrified.

Ryou glanced down and spotted Bakura standing on the checked ground that was down before him. Bakura was glaring at another figure standing of the opposite side of the room.

It was a demon.

But not just any demon.

This demon was huge and black, like the night sky, and his eyes were piercing red. His lipless mouth was pulling into a constant smirk, revealing giant needle-like fangs. Two giant leathery wings came from its back, and two giant horns came from the sides of its head.

The Lord of Darkness, the creator of the Shadow Realm.

Zorc Necrophades.

From his area on the ground, Bakura glanced to his right, spotting his hikari, who was hanging from his wrists on the wall to his right. Bakura narrowed his eyes and glared at Zorc.

"Care to explain why my beloved hikari is here?" he snarled.

Zorc smirked and turned towards Ryou.

"I needed a little... motivation for you, Thief King. As if you'd listen to my deal without a hostage," he explained in a calm tone. He turned towards Ryou and reached forward with his claw.

His claw touched Ryou's chest, and then carefully traced upward. He put his claw under Ryou's chin and lifted the hikari's face up so that they locked eyes for a few moments.

Zorc smirked.

"He truly is quite a prize, don't you think, Thief King? A beautiful diamond plunged into the sands of Egypt. Kinda reminds me of Re(1), don't you agree, Thief King?" Zorc asked with a wicked smirk.

Bakura growled and him, a hurt look flashing across his face.

"Don't you ever mention him! You're the one who took him away from me in the first place!" he snapped angrily.

Zorc smirked and glanced at Ryou. He ran his claw over the boy's lip, ever so carefully, since he was so much larger than the young chained silverette. He smirked at Ryou's scared expression.

"And I imagine I am about to take him away from you once again, Thief King," Zorc whispered.

He brought his claw down to Ryou's chest and pressed down right about where hie heart was. Ryou cried out weakly as the tip of the sharp claw pressed against his chest, at the ready to kill him.

"Get your hands off of him, you sick fuck!" Bakura snapped.

Zorc glanced over at the yami and smirked, bringing his claw away from the hikari. He cast one crimson glance at the hikari once again before turning his full attention to Bakura.

"You want him to be set free? Then all you have to do is agree to my terms," the dark god said.

Bakura growled at him, but upon taking a look at his hikari, who had reverted to laying limply from his prison on the wall with his eyes closed in exhaustion, Bakura backed down.

"What are your terms?" he asked.

Zorc smirked and glanced over at Ryou. Ryou gave Zorc a weak and exhausted look, and he tried to protest against Bakura's actions. But because of the darkness binding him, he couldn't do anything.

"My terms are actually very doable, Thief King. You were originally mine, so I merely wish for you back," Zorc said with a loud growl. The former thief king stared at Zorc in shock.

"What?" Bakura asked.

"You heard me, Thief. I want you to join with me. You were probably the best piece of work that I ever did. No one had more depression, more angst within their soul than you. It was a wonderful nest, and you were so obidient," Zorc explained.

He turned towards Ryou and carefully brought his claw under Ryou's chin.

He tilted Ryou's head to the side and smiled at him in a manor that only the god of the darkness could manage. He turned to Bakura and brought his face closer to Ryou's, his teeth about the same size as the young hikari.

"But when you met Re all those years ago, your loyalty wavered," he said with a snicker.

Bakura growled, his eyes flashing with a look of pain.

"Stop bringing Re into this..." he growled out. Zorc smirked and turned back to Ryou, locking eyes with him. Ryou was powerless and weak under the gaze, and he didn't even look scared. He just looked exhausted.

"If I am correct, Re fell to the darkness so quickly that he didn't even last a whole week with it in fecting him, am I correct?" Zorc asked, turning towards Bakura.

Bakura growled again at the mention of Re, but all he could do was lower his head and listen weakly.

After all, Zorc held Ryou's life in his hands.

"You were torn apart when Re gave himself up for you. The darkness was simply too much for a light like him to endure. But this version of Re seems... much stronger to the darkness," Zorc said, looking at Ryou.

"Get the fuck away from him!" Bakura snapped, his vision going bright red with rage. "I swear to Ra and all the other gods, if you so much as touch him one more time-!!"

Zorc turned towards Bakura with a sadistic look in his crimson eyes.

"You're getting your old fire back, Bakura. It's just a shame that it's being aimed at me," the dark god said, taking his claw away from Ryou's body and turning fully towards Bakura.

"Now, Theif King. Choose," Zorc said.

Bakura was silent, thinking over what he was going to do. He was not going to risk Ryou's life, but if he turned to Zorc's side, what was preventing Zorc from making him slay Ryou?

Zorc snickered when he saw Bakura hesitate.

"I see you're having some trouble deciding. I'll give you two minutes. If you have no choice by then, I'll slay Re's reincarnation right here and now, and you'll lose him for a second time because of the darkness," Zorc said.

Bakura felt his heart skip a few beats, and he remembered nearly 5000 years ago when Zorc's darkness had infected the one that he had fallen in love with.

Ryou's past life, Re.

He remembered holding Re in his arms as the boy told him his last words, telling Bakura not to give in to the darkness, before he passed on. He remembered how cold Re had felt, and knew it was a feeling he never wanted to feel again.

Bakura closed his eyes.

"If I go with you, you have to swear that Ryou will not be hurt," he whispered.

Zorc stared at Bakura and nodded.

"Since you seem to be going peacefully, then I shall allow your beloved little Ryou to leave here unharmed," he promised, his eyes displaying no signs of lying.

Bakura nodded and turned to Zorc.

"Then I am your agent of darkness again," he told the god of the darkness.

Zorc snickered before cackling insanely. He turned towards Bakura and raised his hands into the air, a dark magic spell forming within his thick clawed black palms.

"No... 'Kura, don't..." Ryou whispered weakly.

Bakura turned to face Ryou and mouthed 'I Love You' to the young silverette before the darkness snaked around him. He cried out as it fused with him, reawakening his old power of torture that he had made dorment when he fell for Ryou.

Finally, his shouts of agony became roars of anger, fear, pain, and all negative emotions that he had felt back in Kul Elna when his family and friends had been murdered.


When Ryou awoke moments later, he found himself sprawled out on the ground weakly.

He glanced up and around and saw that he was still in the Shadow Realm where Bakura and Zorc had been, but he was back on the ground, and the chains on his wrists were gone.

Ryou glanced up and looked around for Bakura once his memories of Bakura being taken over by the darkness came back to him.

Ryou scanned around until he spotted Bakura a bit ahead of him, but his heart hurt just looking at the silverette that he loved. Bakura had been taken over completely by the darkness.

He looked about the same, but his lips were drawn back into a smirk, and his eyes were completely crimson.

Ryou gasped.

"'Kura!" he cried, instantly to his feet. He dashed for the silverette and went before him.

Bakura was so out of it, consumed by the darkness that he didn't even see Ryou standing before him. Ryou stared up at the silverette and noticed that Bakura was so overtaken that he couldn't even speak.

Ryou wrapped his arms around Bakura's waist and brought himself close to the silverette.

"'Kura! Snap out of it! Please!" he begged, at the point of tears.

Ryou opened his eyes and glanced up at Bakura, who was still deeply taken over by the darkness. Ryou could hear Zorc snickering behind him, coming up from his spot in the Shadow Realm.

"It's useless, Re's Reincarnation. Bakura is too far into the darkness," Zorc taunted.

Ryou turned and glared at Zorc.

"Shut your mouth, you lame excuse for a god with a dragon for a dick!" he snapped angrily. Zorc was instantly quiet, muttering about how this hikari had spunk and fire in him.

Ryou turned his attention from Zorc back to Bakura.

He stared up at his yami and felt tears burning his eyes when he thought that Bakura wasn't ever going to come back. He slowly brought himself up, knowing that he had to do something.

Ryou brought his lips up slowly, closing his eyes as he pressed them against Bakura's lips, feeling that the only way to bring Bakura was to remind him why he had given up on the darkness.

The thief king found himself surrounded by darkness. Darkness so familiar that it no longer caused him any fear, as it had when he was a young child being taken over.

Bakura sat in the darkness, his knees brought to his chest.

"Re... When I lost you 5000 years ago, I blamed myself for letting it happen. It was all my fault. I have no reason to live," Bakura whispered to himself, looking down at his feet.

Before him, he spotted Re laying before him on his back, his hand resting over his stomach, his other hand limply by his side.

Re's white hair was splattered with blood, and his chest was torn open, right where his heart was. There was a large bite wound in his side, and his mocha skin was very pale.

But despite all the blood and the wounds, Re's face was not that of pain or agony or even regret. No, his expression was one of peace and calm, as if he passed on painlessly.

In fact, if not for the blood, Bakura would have thought Re was asleep.

"I have no more reason to continue on. I have already lost everything that I can to the darkness," Bakura thought quietly.

From the darkness in his mind, Bakura could feel a warm light come from behind him. He felt the darkness light up, and a feeling that made Bakura think of hope came into his mind.

"Bakura! Stop moping around! I forgave you 5000 years ago! Now, stop crying about it and snap back to who you really are before you lose someone else dear to you to the darkness! You have not lost everything! Hurry before you lose Ryou to the darkness as well!"

Bakura gasped at the sound of Re's voice calling him from the darkness.

He glanced down at his feet and gasped when he spotted Re's wounded and dead body laying before him. It was no longer the image of the man Bakura had fallen in love with in ancient Egypt.

It was now Ryou, the hikari that Bakura had fallen in love with 5000 years after Re's death.

"N-no..." Bakura whispered, eyes wide with horror. "N-no! Not again!" he yelled. He covered his ears and shut out the darkn thoughts that told him to stay with the darkness.

"I will never surrender to the darkness! I will never lose another lover to the darkness ever again!" Bakura yelled.

He could feel the darkness retreating, and he remembered his hikari. He could feel the darkness losing its hold on him, and he finally snapped out of his possessed state.

Bakura opened his eyes and glanced around. He could feel Ryou still keeping his lips pressed against his own. Bakura looked down at his hikari with warm, loving eyes.

'Ryou...' he thought before pressing his lips against Ryou's and kissing back.

After a few moments, they broke the kiss slowly, glancing up at one another. Ryou was the first one to break the silence after a few moments of just staring at one another.

"'K-Kura? Are you okay now?" he asked softly.

"Ryou," Bakura whispered, drawing the hikari as close to his body as he could get him. "What did you think you were doing? I could have really hurt you when I was like that," Bakura whispered.

Ryou nodded slowly against Bakura's chest and held him back, whispering his thanks that his yami was back to normal. Bakura sighed and brought his lips down to Ryou's ear.

"I'll never give in to the darkness. I'm going to stay just the way I am, just for you," he whispered.

Ryou nodded slowly and kept a firm hold on his yami, as if Bakura were going to vanish into thin air if Ryou wasn't holding him firmly around the waist, keeping him in his arms.

Bakura turned towards Zorc, still keeping Ryou against his chest by holding him still with one arm.

"Okay, Zorc-sama," Bakura spat. "You better start saying your fucking prayers. Because I am going to make you fucking wish you had never messed with my hikari."

Zorc narrowed his crimson eyes at Bakura and snickered.

"So, you're protecting Re once again," he said with a soft, wicked chuckle. Bakura narrowed his eyes at his former boss and tightened his one armed grip around his hikari.

"He's not Re. I fell in love with Ryou long before I ever knew he was Re's reincarnation, and it doesn't change the fact that Ryou is who he is," the yami told his former boss.

Usuing his shadow magic, Bakura summoned up a sword from the air and held it protectively in front of himself and Ryou. He leaned down to whisper in Ryou's ear.

"Hold onto me so you don't get hurt," he whispered.

Ryou complied and clung to his beloved yami tightly, staring at Zorc in terror.

Bakura pointed the sword at Zorc and narrowed his eyes at him. Zorc glanced down at the sword and chuckled darkly, shaking the ground where the yami and hikari stood.

"Your powers come from me, Thief King. They can not defeat me," he said.

Bakura smirked victoriously. "Yes, but you forget that I have a being of light right by my side," he said with a snicker. Zorc's eyes doubled in horror as he glanced over at Ryou.

"I have been given a weapon to be used in your destruction. Any last words?" Bakura asked. Zorc glanced up at Bakura with a blank look on his giant demonic face.

"I'm royally fucked, aren't I?" he asked in a simple voice.

"Straight up," Bakura responded.

The sword glew bright yellow and black, and the two energies mixed as they surged towards the god of darkness. Zorc roared out in anger, but did not bother to block it with his magic.

The mixture of darkness and light surrounded the god of darkness, and he was slowly taken over. Finally, the light and darkness tore the god apart, and Zorc became no more.

Bakura sighed and glanced down at Ryou, who was laying still against his chest, eyes closed as if he were asleep.

Bakura felt for his life force, and was thankful when he found that Ryou was still alive and all right. He looked down at his lover with a soft smile and placed his other hand around Ryou's waist.

"I suppose I need to thank the gods for reincarnating you, but I would have loved you even if you were not Re's reincarnation," Bakura whispered to the sleeping hikari.


Me: Yes! 'Kura is back from the darkness, and he's staying with Ryou! (1) The Egyptian name I gave to Ryou in his past life. The rest of the ones that I am going to use for a fic taking place in ancient Egypt are on my profile.

Lucy: That was so sweet!

Louis: I agree! These two are perfect for one another! And whenever Bakura says that Ryou is just a tool to him in the anime, my instant response is, "Bullshit he is! You are so in love with him, it would put the Pharaoh to shame!"

Lucy: True that, cousin!

Louis: Okay, miina! Please look forward to our next one-shot! We're thinking of having Ryou have a family reunion on the beach so that you can meet all of his family members (or at least most of them)!

Me: Please review nicely! Remember, the review button is your friend!
