Shadowed Hopes
'Loss'
Mesagi: *Watches in awe as her writer's block simply shatters as she tries to push it into the closet* DUDE!
Ryou: *Looks over* What is it, Mesagi-san?
Mesagi: My writer's block simply shattered! Look! *Picks up a piece of paper that simply seems to glow* The story! The beautiful, wonderful story!
Ryou: Does this mean that Alice-san and I live happily ever after?
Mesagi: Well, not tellin. But you gotta remember that this /is/ an angst story-
Raven: (Dammit!) Pah, good.
Ryou: Alice-san, why are you so mean to me?
Mesagi: *Sighs* Ohh well, back to the story.
Disclaimer- I do /not/ own Yu-Gi-Oh. If I did, I would be rich and famous and wouldn't have the time to be writing fanfiction about it because I would be spending too much time developing episode summaries and plot twists!

Alice sighed in relief and hugged Ryou. He was shaking, but even still, he had enough energy to return the embrace. "Ryou-san, you've gone through so much because of me. I'm sorry," Alice said softly.
"Alice-san, I'm the one who has caused you pain and grief. I should be the one who is sorry," he replied with a sad sigh. So much pain had been caused because of his Yami. But his Yami was part of him now.
"Shh, it's all in the past anyway. There's no need to dwell in the past," came her gentle reply. She simply held him, her eyes shut tightly. Ryou sighed again and raised a hand, running his fingers through her hair. Considering her neighborhood and her income, it was awfully soft. And it smelled good, too.
Alice smiled slightly, something she hadn't done in a very long time. She pulled away carefully, not wanting to do so suddenly so as to startle Ryou. "Thank-you- You've opened my eyes," she said softly. There was no need to dwell further on the meaning of her words. It was quite clear that she meant that she now knew that she didn't have to keep herself locked away from the world, that she knew she should go out and look to find friends now.
"There is no need for thanks," Ryou replied with a kind smile. Inside of his mind, he knew that his Yami was fighting against him, and he also knew that he would not be able to keep him at bay much longer. "I have to go now, Alice-san-," he said suddenly, getting up and backing towards the door.
"Ha?" confused, she stood as well, blinking rapidly. "What? Why do you have to leave?"
"There is no time to explain, I simply must-"
"Ryou-san! Wait!"
But she was too late - he had already run out the door. His will was diminishing and he could only keep his Yami at bay for so long. He wouldn't stick around to have Alice in danger of himself. He knew that his Yami would be very, very angry with her, and would most probably try to hurt, or even kill her, in order to get his hands back on her Earring. And yet, there was a deeper meaning to what he wanted. Ryou wasn't sure that he wanted to know what else his Yami wanted from Alice.

"Ryou-" Alice said softly, watching his retreating form. Why was he running from her? What was it that she had done wrong?
((Perhaps it is Bakhu- He had hold over the young boy before, and the young boy managed to gain control. Bakhu probably wants to regain control. So the young boy ran to keep you safe.))
Alice blinked. Her Yami! She had forgotten about her Yami! Gritting her teeth, she took off after Ryou. Maybe, with the help of her Yami, she would be able to find some way to make Ryou better. All she could do was hope.
*****
Ryou sat under a tree in the park, deep in the park. Not many people went this way, which was probably best. He wasn't even sure exactly where he had run. But that was probably best. That way, his Yami wouldn't be able to back track to Alice's house. He was trembling, trying to fight off his Yami for as long as he could. Only a few moments more did he last before the transformation from his kind face to the sinister one belonging to his Yami happened.
*****
Alice had just entered the park, eyes wide with concern as she looked from left to right. It wasn't like Ryou was hard to spot. His hair colour was unusual, and he was well liked by many. She talked to a few people to find his which way he had run. Not many had even seen him, but she managed to get enough information to find the tree that he sat under. A sigh of relief passed across her lips as violet eyes fell on his form. Only a moment did the relief last as she noticed the difference in his appearance.
The moment was all that was needed for Yami Bakura to grasp hold of Alice's arm, a twisted smile spread across his sinister features. "Ahh, and you've returned to me once again- Ryou, the fool. He loves you. But there are many forms of love- And ways of loving. Love can be taken by force as well." His eyes flashed darkly.
Those words sent a chill down Alice's spine, and her Yami decided that now was a very, very good time to take control of the young girl. A slight shimmer of power and Yami Alice then pulled her arm free of Yami Bakura's grasp. "Bakhu- I will not allow you to pull the same trick twice. Last time you caught me off guard, but now I am ready for you," she said calmly, stepping back and rubbing her arm a bit.
"But you have no choice in the matter."
"I have all the choice in the matter!"
Yami Alice placed her hands in front of her, turning them to face each other. A small ball of white light appeared between them, expanding to cover her entire form in a beautiful white shield.
"Such a small shield shall not keep me away," Yami Bakura said with a smile, coming closer and placing a hand on the shield. In doing so, his hand began to smoke, a hot, searing pain running up his arm. But he didn't seem to notice, or he didn't care. Either way, he kept pushing, his hand slowly going through the shield.
Yami Alice gasped. He had no care for the damage done to his vessel! He didn't care if he permanently scarred the poor young boy. Gritting her teeth, she felt that she had no choice but to simply let the shield down. Closing her eyes, she did so and Yami Bakura grasped her arm again, with his un-harmed hand.
"I told you it wouldn't stop me," he whispered as he pulled her closer, "I don't care about this mortal, he could die for all I care. You are what I want."

Mesagi: Well, a chapter or two is all that remains. I know that this hasn't been the best fanfiction ever, but it's certainly my best (and first) try at one! A heh! *Sweatdropping*
Ryou: Ahh, Mesagi-san- What's going to happen to poor Alice-san?
Alice (No longer liking the nick-name Raven): Yeah! What happens to me?
Mesagi: Now now, I can't tell you -that-!
Ryou & Alice: Aww!
Next Time: Yami Bakura has hold of Yami Alice, but he wants her to revert back to Alice so he can put her in her place. Yami Alice won't do it and Yami Bakura is in a rage. Ryou doesn't want to be a slave to his Yami any longer.
