Hee hee... Thankies for the reviews all! *huggles everyone who reviewed*
I was hoping that I'd get more for the end chapter, but oh well I suppose.
Just thought I'd let you all in on a little secret...
*whispers* I'm working on my third fanfic... (Well, my second story... my first one was just a weird poemish thing...) *bounces happily* Yep yep! Only this time I don't plan to even start putting it up until I've gotten at least most of it done. That way, I won't have to worry about stressing over getting the latest chapter written in time to update every night like I did for the last one. I'll just have them all done and just go, "Ok... uppload, add chapter... there we go!"
It will also be something rather different from this last one. It will be mostly humor... And I'd like to already begin to apologize if I get the character's wrong in any way shape or form, considering half of the main characters are people I have seen once or twice if at all in the series so far...
But yes, and now time to talk to my reviewers!
IrishJade: Sorry, I guess I didn't see your review before posting the 5th chapter. I'm glad you were surprised! I worked really hard towards making it unexpected that it wasn't Bakura...
*skips over Lizzy for now* (you'll see why in a moment...)
Kawaii Mimi-chan: Yep yep! Major pain to the meany who beat up poor ickle Ryou! *huggles Ryou tightly* Glad you were able to enjoy both endings, though I would have understood if you didn't. And- *is thwapped* EEP!? *blinks and looks around* I am! I am! Alrighty! *hides so she won't be thwapped again*
Sugomi: Yes, it's there. Brief, but there. Glad you liked it. ^_^() Just not the kind of thing I'm used to writing. Glad you enjoyed the story.
And now... lizzy9046: I'm so glad you liked it! And you know... I really do agree with the whole happy ending thing. ^_^() I had to fight the urge all the way through to actually make Bakura be the one doing it, even after I'd set my mind that it wasn't before even beginning. In fact, it's kinda funny, because after I did this I just wasn't content until I wrote myself an evil Chapter 5. which is below. For you and other's like you who would rather see the Lusciously Evil Bakura keep his edge and end up triumphant! ~_~() I think I need to get out more.

Chapter Five: The Evil One
When Bakura burst into the waiting room, the door swung out to it's farthest, slamming against the wall, before slamming closed again. It startled the others who were there already. As they all stared at him, he demanded, glaring about the room, "Where is he?"
There was no reason for any of them to ask what he meant. Yami had explained to Yugi what had happened through their mental link, and they had been expecting him. Still, they were taken by surprise at his sudden, loud appearance.
"Oh. um, hello Bakura." Yugi managed after he finally got over the surprise. "The doctors said that Ryou's just getting out of x-rays and that we should be able to see him as soon as he's settled into his room."
"No." Bakura said simply. "None of you will go in until I've had a chance to speak with him. It's a personal matter between yami and hikari."
Joey scowled. "Hey look. We're better friends to him than you are. Why else would he have left that?" He asked, pointing at the Millennium Ring.
Bakura stepped towards him threateningly. "You'd better be careful who you talk to like that, you sniveling mutt."
Tristan grabbed Joey as he started to take a step towards Bakura. "Joey! We're here because Ryou's in pain, and we don't need you going through x- rays too."
Bakura smirked, then his expression clouded as he turned to Yugi. That so- called pharaoh's pathetic Aibou. He's worse than Ryou. "You understand, though, don't you?"
Yugi, who had been sitting silently, staring at the ground, raised his eyes to Bakura. Smiling, he nodded. "Yeah."
Bakura gave a nod and moved to stare out the window, needing some way to hide his smirk. *Pathetic, foolish mortal...* His smirk faded with time. He was impatient and wished that they would hurry. The only thing that stopped him from bursting out and demanding them to show him to Ryou, was the fact that Yami arrived shortly. Bakura doubted that the pharaoh would sit by quietly why he threatened the doctors' insignificant little lives.
The time ticked past unbelievably slow, seconds dragging on to last eons. None of them said much of anything during their wait. Bakura couldn't help but find the awkward silence slightly amusing. Especially considering that before barging into the room, he had heard them chatting conversationally with each other. He took pride that his presence gave them discomfort.
A doctor's assistant finally came through the door. "Ryou is set up in his room now." She said with a smile.
Bakura turned to face her. "It's about time." He growled. Then allowed his voice to loose it's annoyed edge. "I'll be going in alone at first." He stated as he strode forward.
"Very well. This way." The woman turned and led Bakura out of the waiting room and down a hallway. Bakura studied his surroundings silently. It was difficult to tell one hallway from another, as they all looked the same. No colors or paintings or anything to brighten up the plain white corridors, and all of them lined with doors to patients' rooms...
Soon he found himself entering one of the plain, sterile hospital rooms. He glanced around as he entered before turning his gaze to where Ryou lay in the bed, covered by the thin white sheets. "Ryou..."
Ryou turned his head slightly, moving slowly. Fear shone in his eyes as they focussed on Bakura. He swallowed, obviously attempting to stay calm. He was trapped, and he knew it.
"Do you have something you'd like to say to me?" Bakura asked, closing the door soundlessly before moving towards his hikari.
"Oh please." Ryou whispered, frightened tears stinging his eyes. "I didn't mean to tell them... I was so hurt, and I wasn't thinking-"
"A terrible mistake that you seem to make very often!" Bakura growled. "You have a brain, you should try and use it more often." He came to a stop just next to Ryou's bed.
"They. but they let you in here. After yami went after you. They obviously don't think that you did it anymore..."
Don't think that my skills of deception are going to get you out of this terrible trouble you've put yourself in." Bakura grinned down at his trembling, terrified hikari. It pleased him to see the tormented look in Ryou's eyes. After all of the physical pain he'd been through, he was suffering mentally as well... A perfect example of how torture should go.
"Please... Don't hurt me..." Ryou whispered.
"It's not me that you should be worried about." Bakura smirked, his eyes narrowing evilly as he lifted the Millennium Ring into sight. "It's the creatures of the Shadow Realm you need to concern yourself with. And I doubt that they will pay any heed to your pleas for mercy."
Ryou's eyes widened to their fullest extent at the horror of this threat. He was too frightened to even protest, the gaze of his terror-stricken eyes falling onto the Millennium Ring.
"Once your soul is trapped forever in the Shadow Realm, I will be able to take over your body once and for all!" Bakura laughed evilly.
Ryou opened his mouth to scream, even as the Millennium Ring flashed brightly. He was too late. Before any sound escaped his throat, he felt himself being ripped from his body...
Bakura sneered down at the lifeless body. Laying the Millennium Ring down on the shell's chest, he disappeared into it before moving into the body. Opening his eyes, he smirked. He started to sit up... and winced.
"Ra... Why did I bloody have to hit him so hard..." he muttered as he struggled to sit up. Putting the rope for the Millennium Ring around his neck, he smirked, chuckling softly to himself. "This is much better... The only problem is that I'll have to play nice with those foolish mortals for a while. Still, this should make things easier. I will have all of the Millennium Items..."
Just thought I'd let you all in on a little secret...
