Okay, this whole fic was based on complicated and so this chapter is going to contain the last bit of the song, or some of it anyway.

Okay, got that? Good, now read the story already! ^_~

Ryou gasped as the interior of his house was revealed to him, Tracy stepped up beside him, "This place is a mess," and indeed it was. All the pictures on the walls had been torn off, glass lay about the floor, the pictures themselves weren't damaged merely the frames.

"If this is what the hall looks like, what about the rest of the house?" Maric asked no one imperticular as he too stepped into the house, being careful as to where he put his feet.

"I think we aught to clean this mess up before someone gets hurt," Li suggested, stepping in after Malik.

"Hai," Malik agreed.

"Kay, um, cleaning stuffs in the kitchen but first I have to do something," said Ryou as he made for the stairs.

Tracy grabbed his arm before he could go and said, "Do you want us to come with you?" Her eyes looked worried but Ryou just smiled and shook his head.

"No, this is something I have to do on my own?" with that Tracy nodded releasing his arm. When she did this Ryou began his slow ascension of the stairs, being careful not to trip or fall on something.

"Well, let's get crackin'," suggested Maric leading the way to the kitchen, he'd been to Ryou's house a couple of times and had a vague idea as to the whereabouts of everything.

---Ryou's POV---

I slowly ascended my stars, shards of glass lay everywhere in sight, what has Bakura been doing while I haven't been here. It's only been a day, he's either going to be incredibly angry or incredibly distraught, give ya three guesses as to which one. Now I'm at the top of the stairs and stretched before me is the landing, I can see my bedroom door slightly ajar and music coming from it.

Walking down the hallway to the end I realised that the song was Avril Lavinge's complicated.

~And promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it

~No, no, no

Peering through the crack between the door and the wall, the edge where the hinges are I saw Bakura on the bed. He was just sitting there, his hands holding the ring tightly, my ring. I couldn't see his face, but his shoulders where shaking, but why? Me, no, how? Why? Argh, I'm so confused, he wouldn't care for me, he wouldn't change. But why not, I did. Life's just one big circle, oh Bakura I really am sorry if it was me who did this to you. Well duh, of course it was, stupid Ryou.

~ You come over unannounced

I pushed open the door; his head snapped up, his eyes went wide with shock. He hadn't been crying, I don't think he can but he was upset, I knew that much.

~ Dressed up like you're somethin' else

I saw his eyes narrow; he tried to make them go hard and cold but failed miserably. Please Bakura, stop fooling yourself; it doesn't have to go on like this. He got into a fighting stance, or as much a one as he could muster, I laughed inwardly at this. Please Bakura, stop all of this, don't make me walk out again, I don't think I would have the courage to come back again.

~ Where you are and where it's at you see

~You're making me

~Laugh out when you strike your pose

"Stop it Bakura, I didn't come back to fight you, stop trying to fool yourself," that was about all I could say at the moment. My mind was a black void, I don't know why but I just feel drawn to him somehow, no matter how many times you push me away Bakura I'll come back. Just like I always did, just like I'm supposed to, you're my other half. I don't care what you're response to that is, I know why I came back now I need to know if you want me back.

~ Take off all your preppy clothes

"Then why did you come back?"

"I had to," what could I say, if I told him what I thought I don't know what he'd do.

"That's not an answer, Ryou please tell me," I saw him get up walking up to me until he was right in front of me. I was only a couple of inches shorter than him.

"I…I," why am I stammering, what's wrong with me?

"Ryou?"

"You're my other half, how can I stay away?" I was pleading with him now and I don't know why. There's something inside me that's telling me I need to be closer to him, but what is it. I've never felt it before not even with Tracy and the others. Oh why can't someone tell me what this feeling is?

"Is that the truth?" he was half grinning and half smiling at my pleas, WHAT?!?!?! SMILING, okay something is either seriously wrong, or, or he actual does want me back. I nodded, "Will you go back to how you used to be, my innocent little Ryou?" did he just say my, OH MY GOD, he…he. "I think we changed places, now whose being somebody else?" he was smirking now, but he just said what I was thinking earlier, great minds think alike, yeh right.

~You know you're not fooling anyone

~When you become

~ Somebody else 'round everyone else

~Watching your back, like you can't relax

~Trying to be cool you look like a fool to me

~Tell me

But then, he's right, we have changed places, I was the one being cold and he asked me for help which I failed to give. We both made things go wrong, and both paid the price, but as they say, 'no pleasure comes without pain' or in simpler terms, 'no pain, no gain'. Maybe something good will come of this. He's giving me his trust and this time I know it's a good ting and not a lie, so I'll return the favour.

~Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?

~I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else

~Gets me frustrated

~Life's like this you

~You fall and you crawl and you break

~And you take what you get and you

~Turn it into honesty

~You promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it

~No, no

"Oh Bakura I'm sorry," I couldn't help it, I let a tear escape my eye as I gazed at the person who looks so much like me ad yet doesn't but seems to bet he only thing that can truly make my life complete. I jumped out of my skin when I felt his warm hand touch my cheek and wipe my tear away, along with my sorrow.

"Shh, it's okay, now promise me one thing," I nodded unable to say anything I felt so weak, I mean my knees where about tog I've way, "that you'll be my innocent little Ryou again?" That's fine with me, but I have one condition.

"On one condition," he raised an eyebrow, "no more pain," with that I put my arms around his waist and hugged him tight, I was smiling now, for once I felt complete, maybe this wasn't such a bad idea after all.

---Bakura's POV--- (This is gonna go back to when Ryou apologizes)

"Oh Bakura I'm sorry," I was surprised to say the least, I hadn't expected my Light to appear and now he's apologizing. Hold on a sec he's crying, Ryou, did I do that to you, what have you done to me? I'm going soft, that damned Pharoah would have field day if he saw how weak I had become. But didn't Ryou say he came back for me, if that's the case then he cares and the Pharoah's not here anyway, he can go to hell for all I care.

I let my hand go to his face and used my thumb to wipe away his tear; I saw surprise and relief in his eyes, what have you done to me Ryou? Why do I feel like I can't live without you, what's this feeling I've got? It's something I've never felt before, and I doubt I'll feel it with anyone else but you, you, my Ryou. "Shh, it's okay, now promise me one thing," he nodded but kept silent, I took this as a sign to continue, "that you'll be my innocent little Ryou again?" Now there is defiantly surprise in his eyes, Ryou, please say yes, I don't think I could go on without you.

"On one condition," I raised an eyebrow, "no more pain," I was about to respond when I was caught off guard when his arms went round my waist and he hugged me. I smiled stroking his hair lightly; I felt something cold and wet on my shoulder. Looking down I saw my Aibou was crying. Aibou, now that's a new word for the vocabulary list.

"There, there, little Ryou, it's okay now, I'm here," I don't care what anyone else thinks; Ryou to me is the only thing that matters. "Hey Ryou, I've got something for you," he was still hiccupping but his tears had stopped and he was looking surprised. He looked like a young child, scared and lost; I'll just have to remedy that. Turning I grabbed the ring off the bed looking back to him I saw that smile that was begging to be released on his features.

Gripping the ring hard I walked back over to him, taking the Ring by its brown cord I place it around his neck, back where it belongs, "Mine." It wasn't a question; a statement was a more appropriate description.

'Yours,' I heard him think.

'Promise?' I just had to make sure.

'Promise,' he was smiling at me now, and I really couldn't help it I just had too. I leaned down and caught his lips with my own. I saw his eyes closed but I could still sense his surprise but it soon melted into acceptance.

'Thank you Ryou.'

'It's okay, and I love you Yami, Bakura.'

'I love you too'.

I broke apart from him for air, I was smirking and he was smiling in that innocent way of his. 'Does this mean you're gonna be nice to everyone now?' I could hear the mirth in his voice and I new just how to answer; it was the truth anyway so that was god.

'No, just you.' With that I took his lips again and this time I ran my tongue along his lower lip. I felt him shiver slightly but he accepted me and let me taste him. Running my tongue along the roof of his mouth exploring the honey-tasting cavern.

"Took ya long enough," I jumped out of my skin and snapped backwards to see Maric, Malik, a purple haired girl and a brown haired boy.

"Ahh shut up Malik," I was smirking now, I felt Ryou turn in my arms to face them.

"Well I think we'll be leaving now, come on Li," that was the girl and good riddance. 'Bakura!'

'Whaaat?'

'That's my friend you're insulting, just try and be nice okay?'

'Oh, okay fine, spoil my fun.' I felt him mentally laugh, like little tinkling bells, my angel, my Ryou.

"I think the same can be said for us, we have a very empty apartment waiting," said Malik grinning pulling Maric out with him.

"Give you three guesses on what they're planning on doing," I said.

"I can think of some things," Ryou replied turning his head sideways to face me, I had laid my head on his shoulder and felt quite content to stay there.

"Is that an invitation?" I asked raising an eyebrow and smirking.

He grinning impishly "Might be." Oh that's it Ryou, you're mine…

I was just going to split it into two halves this chapter but instead I decide to round this story to ten chapters. Well, it's over now, I hope you liked it. I would also really appreciate it if you reviewed, thanks in advance! ^_~
