---Lyrics--- "blah" talking 'blah' thinking /Hikari to Yami/ //Yami to Hikari//

***

---You're cynical and beautiful/ You always make a scene/ You're monochrome delirious/ You're nothing that you seem---

^^Ryou POV^^

Dark. Dark. Dark. Cold. Cold. Cold. Alone. Alone. Alone.

Help.

I want to get away. But I want to live.

I hate you, Bakura. But I need you.

I _love_ you.

Save me. Please.

Help me.

^^Bakura POV^^

I'm. Gonna. Kill. Him.

That stupid Hikari of mine has gone and ticked me off again. How?

Take a wild guess.

Suicide? Yup.

He's such an idiot!

I was walking up to his room to relieve a little ...frustration. But as soon as I opened the door, there he was-bleeding all over the carpet. I swear I could've killed him if he hadn't done that for me.

I carelessly dragged him by his hair into the bathroom. There I cleaned and bandaged his wound after checking to see if he was still alive. Not that I truly _cared_. I mean..Ra, he's my stupid light side for crying out loud. I was only saving him 'cuz I needed his pathetic body. Of course when I ever get another Sennen item- then that'll be another story.

So anyhow-I dragged him back out of the bathroom the same way I dragged him in. I reached down, picked him up, and then unceremoniously dumped him on his bed. I walked to the door, opened it, and without a second glace-shut it behind me.

I would deal with him later. But for now....I think Malik might be up for a little destruction and thievery.

---I'm drowning in your vanity/ Your laugh is a disease/ You're dirty and you're sweet/ You know you're everything I need---

^^Ryou POV^^

Pain.

Feelings? Life? I'm alive?

I open my eyes to see you glaring at me. You saved me? Thank you. I'm sorry. Don't be mad. It hurts me when you are mad. Please. Don't look at me like that. I love you.

I want to say these words. But my thoughts are so cramped up and colliding with each other that all that comes out is:

"Yami?" Stupid. Stupid. Stupid!

I'm supposed to refer to you as 'Master'. Not Yami. Not Aibou. Not Bakura. Not-Even though I deeply want to-'Kura.

Your eyes narrow even more and all I see of your hand is a blur. But then pain is far from blurred. There's a sharp 'whap' and an even sharper pain. It explodes in my left cheek.

My hand quickly reaches up to my face, cupping the area that is quickly bruising into-I'm sure-the shape of a hand. Tears roll down my face, which is currently pointed at the floor. Away from your beautiful face and your demonic red eyes.

Beautiful crimson eyes.

Your voice snaps me out of my dreaming.

"Yadonushi!" You bark. "Why?"

Your 'why?' comes out more in the tone of a demand rather than a question. I can't take it anymore. I mentally argue with myself over what to do.

I love you. I hate you. I need you. I HATE you. Please don't hurt me. I want to get away. Leave me alone. Stay with me. Keep it all inside. Tell him!

The last voice screams at me and in turn I scream at Bakura.

"I hate you, you bastard!"

You don't say anything. And for once...I'm happy.

But why?

---Everything you are/ Falls from the sky like a star/ Everything you are/ Whatever ever you want---

^^Bakura POV^^

I'm just standing here. Like an idiot. But I'm not an idiot am I? No, not according to you. No. To you I'm a bastard.

I laugh at that. The sound rolling off my lips and bouncing off the walls. You stare up at me in horror. This only causes me to laugh harder.

You're just so stupid! It's funny! I mean really! I was waiting for you to show some backbone and here you are. I find that funny! Don't you? I do.

So very funny!

Tears start rolling down my cheeks.

So..damn..funny.

I turn and slam your door heading to my soul room before you can question my actions. As soon as I throw up the mental blocks, I start to sob.

"You idiot!" I practically scream. But I don't. No. No way. I hate you. I always have and I will continue to do so until the day you die!

Stupid.

Curse you. Curse these feelings. Curse them to a hellish eternity!

---I wanna kick at the machine/ That made you piss away your dreams/ And tear at your defenses/ Till there's nothing there but me---

^^Ryou POV^^

I don't get it. I really don't. One minute my Yami's laughing and the next he's crying.

Everything's just so confusing!

I want to tell him I love him. I really do. But will I let myself do so? Will I let myself give in to his demonic beauty?

Yes.

I need him and I know it. The only problem is how to approach him. I mean, I just called him a bastard. I really don't expect him to be too nice to me. So then...how to approach him?

This could take a while.

---You're angry when you're beautiful/ Your love is such a tease/ I'm drowning in you dizzy noise/ I wanna feel you scream---

^^Unknown POV^^

I sit and watch them. The light and the dark. Two halves of a whole. Torn apart and facing inner conflicts. I cannot help them. But I can watch them; and wait for the time that I know will come. The time of reluctant rejection. Then I will make my move.

I will bestow the fate of this world and the next upon this conflict. If they can over come it; then all will be well. If not...

Fate, Hope, and Love get to work a little over time.

---Everything you are/ Falls from the sky like a star/ Everything you are/ Whatever ever you want---

To be continued...
