"The Voice Grows"

Bakura ate his breakfast in peace, without any trouble from the voice or his Yami. 'What day is today?' He wondered and glanced at his calendar. Saturday. "Great, no school!" Bakura cheered as he finished the last of his cereal.

The phone rang and Bakura grabbed it before dumping his bowl in the sink. "Hello?"

"Hi, Bakura!" The voice on the other end cried out.

"Hi, Yugi!" Bakura smiled as he put his phone on his shoulder and turned on the faucet. He poured soap on his dish and watched it foam up.

"So, are you doing anything today?" Yugi asked.

"No, not really." Bakura answered, picking up a yellow sponge.

"Well, I was wondering, we're all going to the movies and if you wanted to come?"

"Sure!" Bakura said and smiled.

"Okay, we're going in around an hour, so we'll swing by and pick you up." Yugi said before he hung up.

Bakura rinsed and dried his dish before hanging up the phone. He wiped his hands and then went up to his room to get his money. Opening the door, he saw Yami Bakura standing there, his arms crossed over his chest.

Bakura paled suddenly.

Yami Bakura picked Bakura up by his collar and threw him out the room and down the stairs. Surprisingly enough, Bakura did not black out but got up. His normally soft brown eyes hardened into cold black ones. He smirked as he wiped a trickle of blood from his lips and started up the stairs, towards his Yami. Yami Bakura was taken aback for but a split second before he kicked Bakura down the stairs again.

Bakura just got up and started up again, the blackness in his heart had temporarily taken over. He caught his Yami's next punch and threw him against the railing. Yami Bakura snarled and they both leapt for each other's throats.

Lapse of Time...

Yugi, Téa, Joey, and Tristan arrived on Bakura's doorstep and Tristan rang the doorbell. When there was no answer, Joey knocked on the door. Still nothing. "I wonder where he is?" Joey asked.

Finally, Téa turned the doorknob, and stepped in. Yugi, Joey, and Tristan followed her...

Yugi's Point of View...

I stepped into the house and gasped. We all did.

Bakura's house was a total mess, smashed lamps, broken chairs, ripped curtains. There was blood splattered on the walls and floor also. I gulped.

{Yami?} I called.

{Yes, aibou?} My Yami answered.

{Can you come out? Something's wrong, terribly wrong!} Now I was panicking.

My Yami emerged from within the Millennium Puzzle and was also shocked at the scene, although he hid it well. His furrowed brow was the only sign.

Yami's Point of View...

I came out of the Millennium Puzzle when Yugi requested me not, but not only that. The more important reason was that I sensed that something was amiss. "Yugi, Téa, Joey, Tristan, leave." None of them moved.

"NOW!" I yelled. This was too dangerous. They slowly filed out, filled with dread.

Once I was satisfied that Yugi and his friends were out of danger, I took a little detour of the house. More destruction, more bloodshed. I pursed my lips, and then climbed the stairs. At the top, was a sight I'll never forget.
