I DIDN'T WRITE THIS

~Yugi talking to Yami (in his head) and vice versa~

-Bakura talking to Ryou and vice versa –

Yugi sat I school all day worried about what his Yami had done to Bakura. Yami had never been so protective over him before, so yugi didn't know what he would do.  At break, Joey and Tristan, who were in different classes to yugi, met him in the school field as usual. (Tea doesn't exist in this story because I think she's a nuisance to every one, and would be more useful dead)

"What's up yugi?"  Joey said, not yet noticing that his friend was upset about something. Tristan however noticed straight away.

"What's wrong?" he asked. 'Nothing you can help with' yugi thought. Yugi remained silent, and just forced himself to smile and shake his head.

~Where are you Yami? ~ Yugi asked through his mental link.

~ I'm at home, but don't think that lets you sneak around Bakura's house after school, because I'll be at the school gates when school finishes. ~   Yugi got annoyed at that and said ~you can't keep this up forever! ~ And he closed his mental link with Yami.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ryou had been sleeping in the park. He hadn't gone to school, for fear of yugi, and what he would say. The strange thing was, that he didn't tell Yami about Yugi and Bakura. He had to go back to the house.  He had to get some clothes and money, hopefully without getting killed, although he doubted it very much. Ryou sighed and headed for his house, walking as slowly as he could.

- Where are you runt! – Bakura yelled through his link to Ryou. Ryou froze. – I said where are you! Answer me, or I'll make your life a living hell!!! - 

- You already make my life a living hell! – Ryou knew this was a bad thing to say, it would only make the situation worse.

- Get back here now! – Ryou was surprised. He thought Bakura would have started shouting threats and insults to him, but because of this calm, or calm for bakura, reaction, Ryou started walking towards the house.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Yugi left school, seeing Yami waiting for him at the gates.

"Hey yugi, Yami doesn't usually meet you from school. What's new?" Joey asked.

"I don't know." Yugi lied, and started walking towards him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ryou walked through the door of his house, and waited. Usually Bakura would come in and hit him as a 'welcome home' present. Nothing.

- Get in the living room! –   'He must be getting lazy, and wants me to go to him.' Thought Ryou. He walked obediently into the living room, and saw Bakura tied up. 

"Who did that!?!" Ryou asked.

"Who'd you think, you stupid git? Now get over here and untie me!" Anyone in Ryou's position who have just left him there, but Ryou didn't. He was too kind (and stupid if you ask me, but there you go). He untied Bakura, and stood back to let him get up.

"Now, I have to get to yugi." Bakura thought out loud. He then turned on Ryou, who cringed.

"Weakling. You helped me when anyone in their right mind would have left me, so I wont kill you… yet." And with that he left. Ryou was stunned that he wasn't dead, or at least, severely beaten up, but he had little time to dwell on this, because Yami just walked through the open front door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yami had left yugi alone in the house to go and check on Bakura, but he saw instead, Ryou standing by the chair that Bakura had been tied to. He lunged at Ryou, pinning him against the wall.  

"WHY DID YOU LET HIM GO!? IT WAS BETTER FOR BOTH OF US FOR HIM TO HAVE JUST STAYED TIED UP!" Yami yelled.

"Why are you doing this?" Ryou said, finding it very hard to talk because of the grip Yami had on him. "You are acting just as crazy as Bakura." Yami was shocked at this, and released Ryou, letting him slide to the floor.

"I'm protecting yugi." Yami said after a while. "Bakura is a madman, who loses his temper very fast. I don't want Yugi being involved with a psychopath."

"Bakura wouldn't hurt Yugi." Ryou said. "He loves him too much. That's probably why I hate it so much. Bakura treats my like a punching bag, but wouldn't hurt yugi to save his life."

"Are you sure?" asked Yami.

"Totally. I don't like the fact that Bakura is going out with Yugi, but I've never got in their way because yugi wont ever get hurt… plus if I ever did get in the way, Bakura would kill me." He said as an after thought. Yami smiled, which made Ryou blush.

"Well, if you think that yugi will be ok, then I'll just leave them alone. I guess he's headed to yugi now?"

"Probably." Ryou had never felt so strangely before. Everything Yami said to him seemed to make him blush- was this the start of a crush?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Bakura ran to Yugi's house. He saw Yami Heading in the other direction, probably to check on him, only to find Ryou instead. Bakura smirked as he imagined the reaction Yami would have when he reached his house.

Bakura arrived at Yugi's house, and opened the door. (It was unlocked ok?) He headed upstairs, and into Yugi's bedroom. Yugi was asleep on the bed. Bakura smiled at him, and kissed him gently on his lips. Yugi opened his eyes.

"Bakura!" yugi smiled "I knew you'd get here somehow." Bakura kissed yugi deeply, slipping his tongue into Yugi's mouth, while undoing his shirt. Once it was off, bakura broke the kiss and began sucking on his neck. Yugi moaned, and started on undoing Bakura's shirt. –Bakura? – Bakura stopped. – What the fuck do you want?" yugi looked up and began to get worried. Bakura had that look on his face that said he was really pissed off about something.

"What's the matter Bakura?" he asked.

"Its just Ryou." Bakura said. – This had better be important. –

- I just thought you'd like to know that Yami's not trying to stop you seeing yugi anymore. I stopped him thinking he had to. – Bakura's expression changed from pissed off, to extremely happy. Yugi was wondering what he was so happy about, but before he could ask, Bakura said

"Yami's not trying to stop us any more!"

"REALLY!"

"Yeah. Ryou just told me!"

~ Is that true Yami? ~

~ Yes. I'll leave you alone now. ~ Yugi smiled cheerfully.

"Now. Where were we?" Bakura said, his eyes full of mischief.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Yami sighed and sat down.

"I hope what you said was true, Ryou."

"Yeah, he'll be fine." Ryou answered. "There's one thing I want to know though; I didn't tell you that Bakura was with yugi, so how did you know?"

"Come with me up to the bedroom a minute." Yami said. Ryou glowed a brilliant shade of red, and followed him up. Yami led him to the window, and pointed across the street.

"See that house over there? It's Yugi's. I often sit on the roof and watch people down on the street. Well I saw yugi sneaking off somewhere, so I watched him. At first, I thought that he was going to see you, but then I saw you push past him, and walk off up the street, that's when I knew."

"Hmmmm" Ryou lent against Yami. Yami tensed up. "S,sorry, I'm just cold." Ryou said, He turned to walk away, when he felt an arm around him. He looked at Yami in surprise.

"I'm cold too." He said, smiling. Ryou grinned shyly, and wrapped an arm around Yami, leaning his head on back on Yami's shoulder.  Overall, Bakura going out with Yugi had turned out great for everyone thought Ryou, as he stood watching the houses in silence with Yami. And now everything was where it should be in life.
