Chapter 4: Wakarimasen

//

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.

Bakura had cut off the link between them with as strong a defense as he could muster, knowing that Ryou couldn't break through his weakest. He had also gone to great lengths to seal off the door that went between their soul rooms. He didn't want to face rejection; didn't think he could. He was currently sitting on the floor of his soul room hugging his knees and leaning his head on his bed. He knew he couldn't hide from his light forever, but for now, this will do. Why does life have to be so cruel? He was trying to decide what to do when his light did finally get a hold of him. He was pretty sure his light didn't hear him say he loved him, so he could simply tell Ryou he didn't and it was a spur of the moment thing, but he was semi-positive that his light wouldn't buy that. He felt his light enter his soul room. He doubled the strength of the bonds on the door. He really didn't want Ryou to come in when he was slightly vulnerable. Okay, really vulnerable. Okay, let's just say that if someone was out to kill him, it would be an ideal time to strike. He heard Ryou bang on the door and yell something, what his brain couldn't register because the words were muffled. Ryou must be really pissed off; he never tried to forcibly open the door to Bakura's soul room, and he was pounding pretty hard. Bakura was tempted to go over and look at his light to debate weather or not he could take what Ryou was gonna tell him; but he quickly banished those thoughts. Acceptance was all his tainted mind could handle right now, and rejection he was sure would, or would almost, break him.

He then heard a chair scrape the floor and he wondered what his light could possibly be doing now. Then, he saw a window over the soul room door. Kuso!! I never noticed that before! Bakura quickly locked it, assuming his light was going to try and open it and that was why he needed a chair. He felt something push against it. *Hard*.His defenses doubled, tripled even and the window still budged open just a little bit. Dammit. Why can't I keep the damn window closed? How is he getting in? Wakarimasen Then, Bakura was snapped out of his thoughts when his sharp ears heard Ryou speaking. He listened for angry words, but was quite surprised to hear Ryou say,

"Yami, please open the door. I-I'm not angry with you. Really. Please come here." Bakura was stunned. Ryou didn't sound angry at all. In fact, quite the contrary, he sounded so sad that Bakura wanted to hold him and make it all go away. Unfortunately, I was the one that made Ryou sad in the first place-but that train of thought was cut off when he heard Ryou choke out a sob. Then, he felt his light step back from the door and onto the floor. A second later, he heard his Light say something, but it was so quiet, he couldn't understand it. Then, the sound of heart-wrenching sobs broke through the window and made it to Bakura's ears. Again, Bakura's heart, a heart the he didn't even know he had, wrenched so tightly he almost couldn't breathe and he decided that if he made Ryou cry, he was going to make it right, even if he was going to face a horrible rejection, like he thought he would surely get. He stood up and felt something wet on one of his cheeks. He reached up and touched his cheek, realizing that it was a single, solitary tear. Why am I crying?! I haven't cried for almost a millennia!! (A/N: Don't flame me please!! My flame retardant suit is at the drycleaners!! I don't know how old Bakura is!! All I've seen are the episodes that are on TV, and not all of them on top of that!) He scrubbed angrily at his face as he made his way to the door and reached a hesitant hand out, paused for a brief millisecond and opened the door, dispelling the blocks he had so carefully put up. What he saw surprised him and made him want to die a thousand deaths rather than see this. Ryou was curled up on the floor crying his eyes out so violently that he was shaking. He knew that it was his fault, and that made him feel even worse.

"R-Ryou?" he asked quietly, bending down to his light half. Ryou, who had his head pulled to his knees looked up slowly at his Yami. His face was tear streaked and his eyes were puffy and bright scarlet; he looked thoroughly tormented. Then, he did something Bakura never, ever thought he would do. Ryou leapt up faster than Bakura cared to register and wrapped his pale slender arms around his Yami's neck, crushing Bakura's lips with his own. . . . . . . . .
