"..."Bakura was shocked. 'Ryou' smirked. "I suppose it would shock you to learn how RYOU felt about you..." "W-what.do you mean.?" "He loved you, you bastard! LOVED YOU!" "N-no..how.. could he.love ME?!" "Because he thought that maybe, just maybe, you were abused and that's where your abusive side came from. As he became surer of that thought, he began to pity you. That pity turned into love." Bakura gasped. His innocent, abused hikari PITIED HIM?!?! "Hn." 'Ryou' smirked once more. "He loved you. And you let this happen. What an idiot!!" Bakura felt immensely guilty. He blinked back tears, letting only one fall. 'Ryou' winced. "No.how.could he.have..awakened...?!" Bakura gasped as a second figure split from what used to be his aibou's body.
The figure collapsed., landing in Bakura's arms. "Aibou..." Demon Ryou growled. With a last effort, he mumbled something. The real Ryou's body was enveloped in dark energy. When the energy vanished, Demon Ryou was gone. Bakura looked at Ryou. Ryou smiled weakly. "Yami.." "Aibou..is what he said..true.?" "Yes." ".." was the response. Ryou's smile faded and his eyes dimmed. "I knew I wouldn't be accepted.." "No, I accept you. I just can't find the words to say." Ryou's eyes brightened. "Y- you....accept..me?" "Yes..."
Ryou smiled again. "Yami?" "Yes, aibou?" "I want you to tell me the truth...if you love me, why did you abuse me?" "I...don't know. Maybe it was because I was afraid of you. Maybe it was because I was afraid of the future. But it was probably because I was afraid of falling in love, afraid of becoming weak and being abused. So I had to prove to myself that I was strong.." Ryou winced suddenly. "Yami.....it's my time....to go...." "No!" "I....I'm so sorry......" "What do you have to be sorry for?! I'M the one who should be sorry!!!" "I'm sorry.....for being so weak." "You aren't weak, Ryou...." Right after Bakura said this, Ryou passed out. Bakura cried. He didn't care if it made him seem weak. He was the weak one, not Ryou....him.... "Don't cry," a female voice said. Bakura turned, only to see a beautiful phoenix. He gasped. The phoenix said only this: "Look at yourself. You are not in the Shadow Realm. The boy will not die. He is only asleep. If you can prove to the gods that you love him, he will wake up." With that, the bird burst into flames.
