YM: Hello!! I's back 'gain!!

Yami: -_- So am I, and I'm still tired. I think you people reviewed just to wake me up. L *pouts*

YM: *waves hand and black leather couch appears* Well then, you can take a nap after you do the disclaimer.

Yami: -_-' Where did-oh, never mind. YM doesn't own Yu-gi-oh or any of it's characters, and if you sue her all you'll get is the plushie collection I'm not supposed to tell you about and her demonic little brother. *jumps on couch and blanket with chibi Yuugis all over it appears on him*

YM: ^_^ I won't bother yelling at him. I'll just start the ficcie. But first, let me tell you why it's so late. I had already written this chapter, and I was just going downstairs to eat lunch, then I was going to post it after I did one last grammer check. Well, when I went back upstairs, I found my brother playing pinball and I found no unsaved ficcie. Needless to say, he had closed out of it without saving it. I was going to chase after him with my BAK (Big-assed Katana) when mom told him it was time for his afternoon nap. -_-' needless to say, I didn't get to kill him. So now, I'm posting this one, and I know for a fact that it will be particularly angsty, 'cause I already wrote it once. If you want to blame anyone for a late ficcie, blame him, not me!! Now, enough of my rants, on with the ficcie!!

Chapter 3: Aishiteru anata wa Yami

//

"Yami-." Started Ryou, but before he could finish the sentence, Bakura was back in the ring. He refused to hear the disgust and rejection he thought would come. What he didn't notice was the pure love that filled the single word that Ryou had spoken. . . . . . .

//

Ryou sat up again, ignoring the pain in his side. No, no Yami, come back. Then, he felt the link between them get about 80 tons of bricks dropped on it, effectively shutting him off. Yami? Yami!! he tried again to no avail. He really didn't think it would have helped because when his Yami didn't want to do something, chances were he wouldn't be doing it any time soon. Yami, I know you fear rejection. I saw it in your eyes before you went to the ring. You shouldn't be afraid, because there is no rejection. I love you too. He then muttered out loud, as if his Yami could hear him,

"Yami, come back. I want you hear. Please." he had no intention of going to school; he had more important things to deal with now. He lay back down and willed sleep to come, which was easy mixed with the desire to speak with his Yami and his body that was trying to heal. He appeared in his soul room and wasted no time trying the door to his Yami's soul room. He wasn't surprised to find the door locked, and even when he tried to will it open or to create a key to unlock it, it was like he was looking for a password, and a computer kept saying 'Access Denied' even though he tried for about 5 minutes. Giving up on opening the door, he pounded on it as hard as he could and yelled,

"YAMI!! YAMI LET ME IN!! PLEASE!! I JUST WANT TO TALK TO YOU!!" He hit the door so hard that his fist split down the side, but he didn't notice. He just kept yelling for his Yami. He knew Bakura heard him. He has to hear me yelling! There was no way--no, I take that back, there was a way Bakura could cut off his voice, but he wouldn't, would he? He then registered a dull pain on his hands, and he felt blood trickling down them. He looked at them, almost unfazed. He had dealt with worse pain than that. He looked around for a way to open the stupid door, the only thing keeping him from his beloved Yami. He figured the more time he wasted, the more time he gave Yami Bakura to draw his own conclusions about Ryou, and then he would think that Ryou didn't love him. Ryou wished with all his might that that did *not* happen as he saw a possible salvation. There was a window above the door like the one over the front door to his house. He immediately conjured up a chair and jumped up[ on it, almost falling down and pushed on the window. At first it wouldn't budge, but after a little persistence, it creaked open. Ryou thought he was getting somewhere, until the window stopped moving. He shoved harder than he had been and gave up after a few minutes. If it were going to budge, it would have by now. It had only opened about 2 inches, not nearly enough room for him to fit through, and not even wide enough to fit his arm in past his slim wrist. Ryou let out a frustrated yell as he pulled his hand out of the crack. He had found a way in, but it was as if it were teasing him saying Well, if I opened a tiny bit more, you could get your whole arm in and reach the handle on the other side. Then you could open the door and get in. But I won't open the extra inch you need; I'll just stay like this. Well Mr. Door, if I were violent, I would introduce you to Mrs. Axe, but since I'm not, I'll settle for the opening you gave me. Ryou put his mouth right up to the crack and said,

"Yami, please open the door. I-I'm not angry with you. Really. Please come here." he wait a second, and then he realized that his Yami probably could hear him, but he didn't believe him or he didn't care. He started to choke out sobs, sliding down the chair and getting off of it slowly. The chair in turn disappeared. He leaned his head against the door and put his hands on it saying through his sobs, "Yami, please don't do this to me. Please. I'm not angry with you. I promise." He couldn't say anymore. Eyes clenched shut trying to no avail to stop the flow of tears, he slid down the door and curled into a fetal position against it, letting his sobs take him.

TBC. . . . . . . . . . .

YM: *whispers* I couldn't help it!! I love angst, and I had to put some angst in this ficcie!!
