AN: Okay, so this isn't in any of the episodes. This is completely my own
work. FUN! More Yami! More Ryou! But it's short. Really short. Barely
two pages. I'll try and make the next chapter longer.
Ryou's Problem 5
I rolled over for what seemed to be the thousandth time that night and tried to suffocate myself by draping my arms over my face. I was still on the island. I was still cold. Of course, the added fact that I was missing Yami horrible, wasn't helping at all. I'd decided to hang out with Yugi and his friends until I could find a boat off the island, and they had nicely agreed to let me tag along. I didn't mean to feel like extra baggage, but they had just shrugged it off as we'd set camp beside a cliff. I moved off a bit, so I wouldn't disturb anyone with my restlessness. My insomnia had been getting worse, but less frequent these days, and I didn't want to explain to anyone my lack of sleep. Fortunately, Kaiba had shown up and I had been able to burn a bit of my excess energy. To bad I still had some. This only added to my loneliness. I had tried walking around my soul room, but every time I'd passed my door, there was his room. I'd ended up closing my door, but I could still feel the emptiness.
I really did miss him. The day before we'd left I hadn't been able to sleep...... And I'd been really hyper. Bakura had been a touch upset, but he'd gotten himself some coffee-stupid over-indulger-and walked with me. We'd gone around the park and he'd even had to keep me away from three soda machines, before I'd collapsed. He'd taken control of my body and taken me back home. Trying to rid myself of the memories, I rolled over and hit my head against the ground. But his words were coming back again.
"THIS ENTIRE NIGHT!" I scream into my sweater. "I CAN'T SLEEP! CAN'T GET YAMI OUT OF MY HEAD! AND I CAN'T EVEN GET A GODDAMNED FIX!!!!"
/Stop this! You'll be hurt! Please! I've only ever wanted to help you, Ryou! Understand me! / I head Yami's voice whisper.
"No." I whispered. "No. You're dead. You're gone! Stop tormenting me! I'm sorry, okay?! I've said it now! I over-reacted! Oh God, Bakura. I'm sorry. You were only trying to help. I'M SORRY!"
Standing up, I ran into the woods for a little bit, and finally slumped against a tree. Hunching over, I realized my ring was glowing, so I pulled it out and turned it over in my hands a few times, until the glowing stopped.
"It was glowing. Like when Yami was in it. But that's silly. Yami's dead. I killed him." I sighed, as my energy died and my eyes closed. My mind ran over pictures and memories of Yami. Playing PS2 with him. Going to the movies. Teaching him about the modern world. Laughing. Smiling. Happiness. The memories blurred and mixed with each other until the only thing that was clear was Bakura. Yami. My Yami.

I slammed into the bed and felt the air leave my lungs. I gasped for air and winced as it grated on my throat and lungs, but I loved the sensation of real air.
"What the hell?" I whispered as I caught my breath. "Where am I? My soul room? But....... I should be in the shadow realm. What happened?"
I asked myself as I tried to lift my head. Unfortunately, I was too tired to do much more and I had to let my head smash back into the pillow.
"Or maybe, I'll just lay here then. Take a nap." I whispered as I closed my eyes and buried my head in the pillow. I felt the cloth cover my face and smiled at the reality of it. Real pillows. A real bed. A real floor. Real walls. Real doors. Real air. Hell after my 'romp' in the shadow realm, any reality I was in, no matter how crappy, was beautiful to me. Grinning like a maniac, I let out a sigh and fell asleep.
