KMC: Ohhhh, this is going to be a fun chapter!
Joey: Oh no! She's got that "I'm gonna torture my bishounen" sort of look on her face.
KMC: Oh Joey, you're so good at reading people.
Muses: EEP!
KMC: *Laughs maniacally*
Joey: Ummm, while KMC has her little, evil laugh moment... she does not own Yu-Gi-Oh. She never will, so stop asking for it!
Author's Note: Bakura might seem a bit out of character in this... I don't know. I want him to fight back... so enjoy. Flames will be used to warm up my hot chocolate.

Bakura's POV
I watched Joey sleep, and sighed. He seemed peaceful enough. I just hoped I was doing the right things, that I was making things better instead of worse. There was nothing more I could do right now, except to pray his fever went down and that he would get better. It was almost nine o' clock now and no real change in his health. I was becoming scared.
Running my fingers through my hair, I thought that maybe I should have considered Yugi's help. It might have helped Joey if it was more than just me sitting here. I closed my eyes, and hoped for the best.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I'm sure that I fell asleep because it was a soft cry that brought me back from darkness. Blinking, I tried to get my eyes to focus. Finally I was able to see straight and gasped at what I saw.
Joey was crying softly, though he was asleep. He hands were clutching at his chest, as though he was trying to make it stop hurting. Sweat beaded on his forehead and his cheeks were even more flushed than before. I watched as his hands gripped at his heart tighter and his back arched, tears streaming from his eyes.
"Make it stop," he cried softly in his sleep.
"Oh God! Why did I have to fall asleep?" I thought.
That's when a voice spoke up in my mind.
"Silly fool, do you honestly think I want you helping this pathetic mortal? You have more important things to be doing than taking care of that stupid Pharaoh's friends! Like getting the Millennium Puzzle for me!"
"Oh no," I thought, standing up and taking a step back from Joey. If my Yami took control, I don't know what he would do to Joey. I couldn't let anything happen to him.
"Are you ignoring me?" cried my Yami.
"Shut up, and leave Joey alone," I whispered, closing my eyes.
That was my mistake. Pain ripped it way through my head. Crying out, I staggered back, gripping my head in both hands. I felt my Yami's anger and hatred. Sinking to my knees, I doubled over. It felt like he was swinging a hammer inside of my skull.
"How dare you defy me? I gave you an order!" he screamed inside my head, only increasing the pain.
"I said shut up! I'm not leaving my friend! He's sick," I cried, tears beginning to stream down my face. I heard Joey's soft cry and it was breaking my heart. I wanted to help him, to make him better. And now I was too busy trying to a keep an evil spirit inside of me in check.
"He'll be a lot more than sick once I'm done!"
"No! I said to leave him alone!" I screamed.
That's what did it. Maybe it was because I was angry or maybe it was my desire to protect my friend, but energy flared up around me. A strong mental wave raced through my head and I felt my Yami get knocked back. He fell, unconscious inside of me.
Breathing hard, I crawled over to Joey. He wasn't getting any better.
"Joey, I-"
And my world went completely black.

KMC: Man, I wish I could write better dramatic scenes than this... but I can't. Sorry.
Joey: What the Hell are you doing!? I'm going to freakin' die!
KMC: Joey, I'm not gonna kill you, you moron!
Bakura: And what do you think you're doing to me!?
KMC: Having some fun with your mind.
Muses: She's gonna kill us someday.
KMC: Please review? I know my chapters are short, but I try okay? And Yugi and Yami will be in this next chapter, so Yugi fans... you'll be happy.
Joey: Oh no! She's got that "I'm gonna torture my bishounen" sort of look on her face.
KMC: Oh Joey, you're so good at reading people.
