Hi everyone! I got another chapter up in two days!
Ryou & Seto:*uninthusasiticly* Yay.
I'm in a really good mood today! Tomarrow, there will finally be a new episode of Yugioh
on KidsWB! But, you already know that right? ^_^
Of course that means getting up at 7 in the morning on a saturday.:(
I wish I could see subtitled episodes instead though...*sigh*
Anyway, on to other stuff. I'm so so very happy that people like this story, especialy my
Yami Bakura. Oh, and I know I said that this story would get darker right about now but,
it's really a little dark and a little light...a good mix in my opion. This part practices
the PG13 rating in many ways *giggles* You'll see...
Ryou:O_O'
Oh, don't look that scared Royu-chan! *glomps Ryou*
Ryou:Didn't we already talk about you not calling me Ryou-chan?
Umm...No?
Ryou:*idea lightbulb* I have to go say the disclaimer...so you gotta let go.
No! Seto you say the disclaimer!
Seto:Why should I?
'cause I'll let a raging group of Seto Otaku's into the room and let them maul you for a
piece of you trench coat...
Seto:O_O Eep. Saraha does not own Yugioh. *stroks trench coat lovingly wispering* I won't let
them hurt you, baby.
Saraha & Ryou:O_o

"-ou...Ryou...wake up you baka!"

I opened my eyes to see Yami leaning over me, his trademark smirk on.

"Did you sleep well little baka?"

I mumbled and sat up rubbing sleep from my eyes. Sunlight poured in through the cracked

door to the storage room Yami and I were hiding in. Yami was looking at me in amusement.

"Could I have my sweater back?"

I blinked, and looked down. I had forgotten that I had been clutching Yami's sweater in my

hand last night and had yet to let go of it. I frowned and handed the slightly rumpled

sweater to him. Yami laughed and pulled the sweater over his head.

"There's food in the bag for breakfast."

I grabbed the worn out school bag and checked the content. There was another apple,

two sodas, a loaf of bread, and a box of baking soda. Although it seemed Yami thought

that baking soda was food, the rest of the food seemed to be good choices. I grabbed

a soda and sipped it quietly looking at the small mess on the floor; seems like Yami had been

busy during the night. A empty soda can, my deck, the apple core from the night before, and an opened

box sat on the floor. The box was one of the many of the same type in the room. I peered in.

Inside the box was a large quantity of wine. One of the bottles was empty and laying next to

the box. I looked accusingly at Yami who shrugged. I shook my head and finished my soda.

"They'll be docking in about ten minutes, we gotta get off before the duelist."

I nodded, threw my can on the floor, and put my deck in the bag for safe keeping. This time when Yami possessed

me, I didn't fight him. He took control easily and swiftly maneuvered us to the lowest deck of

the ship just as it docked. Above us a ramp was being placed for the duelist. We jumped landing

smoothly on the dock and running to the near woods before anyone noticed. We walked along the

forest keeping close to the path that lead to the castle. We stopped where the path turned to

stairs up to the massive palace. From where we stood we could see all the duelist as they

went up the stairs; I could identify at least seven world class duelist in the crowd and

thirteen Japanese champions of various tournaments including Weevil who was smiling smugly.

"Hey, isn't that Bakura?"

'Damn it!' Yami's voice came through the mind link as he hide us behind a tree.

"Bakura from school?"

"I don't see him..."

"Guess I imagined it."

We heard then begin to walk off.

"Your seeing him everywhere Tea, first the boat and now this."

We stayed there until all the duelist and guards went up to the castle and then Yami

materialized next to me, giving me control of our/my body again.

"They saw us on the boat?"

"They saw you baka, when you were getting some air."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"It's not important. Who lives in that castle?"

"Pegasus, the guy who made the duel monsters game." Yami laughed bitterly.

"He didn't make the 'game', he tried to bring it back."

"What do you mean?"

"That game is older than I am. He's just taking credit for it."

Yami's eyes focused on the castle again. He suddenly hissed and turned away, bitterness masked

his face. I didn't even try to hide the fact that I was concerned. I ran over to him.

"Yami! What's wrong?" He growled as I placed my hand on his shoulder but, didn't stop me.

"Onegai Yami, tell me what's wrong?" He looked at me sadly before he culapsed.

I stared in horror at my darkness before sitting next to his motionless form. What was going on?

I put my hand on his wrist to check for a pulse but, then remembered that he wasn't alive.

He wouldn't have a pulse of course, he was a spirit; an immortal. He had to be hurt though.

I felt my eyes water as I whispered.

"Yami, you've gotta be okay..." I heard him groan and his eyes opened to meet mine.

He sat up and rubbed his head whispering,

"What happened?" I wiped my eyes on the back of my sleeve as I spoke.

"You fainted, you were looking at the castle and you looked upset then, you just fell over."

"Damn it!" ,Yami was pounding his fist into the ground, "I can't believe it!"

"Can't believe what?"

"The dark powers here are way stronger than I thought."

"Why did they do that to you!?!"

Yami smiled crookedly.

"Because I wouldn't obey them. They think that they can control me. I'm not weak though,

and never will be. They can find some baka to be there puppet."

"A baka like me for example?" I said sarcastically. He grew wide eyed.

"They can't have you, your mine!" I blushed and he must have relized how his statement had sounded

because his face grew red too. We walked in silence for a few minutes; away from the castle.

"We'll stop here for a little while." We were near a quiet stream in the middle of the woods.

Yami bent down next to the water, cupped his hands and drank. He smiled.

"Much better than that metal crap you drink at home."

I sat next to him to try some. He was right, the water was super cold and clean.

I closed my eyes and enjoyed the serene feeling, only to be splashed with the icy cold water.

I fell back in surprise as another wave of water splashed onto me, soaking my clothes and hair.

Yami grinned down at me laying wet on the ground.

"Cold ba-" I swiftly grabbed his leg pulling him down and into the bank of the stream with a splash.

I sat up. He was now equally soaked, looking at me in surprise. He shoved me. I shoved him back.

After that it was a blur. We though ended up both sitting in the shallow water shivering.

"What happened?", Yami asked stupidly. I shrugged then spoke,

"You started it."

"So?"

"It's your fault."

"Let's just get out of here before we freeze."

We pulled are now tired bodies onto land. Yami pulled off his sweater and hung it on a tree

branch to dry. I stared as Yami continued to remove clothes; shoes, socks, and a green shirt.

Yami started to remove his jeans and I gasped in surprise, Yami smiled wickedly.

"W..What are you doing?" I stammered uncontrollably and turned red. Yami hung the jeans too,

leaving him in his dark blue boxers only.

"I'm keeping from freezing, the same as you should be doing." Still blushing I removed all

but my own pants. Yami frowned as I still was shaking with cold.

"You need to take those off, your still cold." I shook my head and leaned against a tree.

"If you don't take them off, You'll get sick."

"I'll be fine!"

"No you won't, if you don't take them off in 5 seconds I swear I'll make you."

"What do you care if I get sick?"

"I'm not going to put up with a sick baka!" He came towards me. "I'll take those off you myself then."

I quickly undid the button of my jeans and Yami smirked as they slid to my ankles. I pulled

the jeans off leaving only my own navy blue boxers. Yami was now over by the food bag pulling

out some bread and the box of baking soda. He held up the baking soda and asked,

"What's this stuff?"

"It's *not* food."

"It isn't? Why was it with the other food then?"

"It keeps the fridge from getting smelly."

"Fridge?"

"That big white food holding thing."

"Ah..."

Yami put the baking soda down and brought the bread over to where I sat against a tree.

We ate a quiet lunch of bread under the tree, are clothes drying nearby. After we ate I found

myself dozing. My Yami always attentive, sat thinking just as silent. I was just about to

fall asleep when I felt Yami's hand on my shoulder.

"Hey, wake up."

"Huh?"

"People are coming into this area of the forest, we gotta get moving again."

I got up and went to put my clothes back on.

"There still wet, we'll have to carry them until they dry."

"I'm not going to run around the Duelist Kingdom in my underwear!"

Yami'd already had put are clothes in our bag, being careful to keep the deck from getting wet.

"Come on were going."

"But-"

"Just come on!"

"Fine."

I followed Yami further into the forest. We walked for almost an hour before we stopped again.

"Hey baka..."

"What?"

"Where the hell are we?"

"The Duelist Kingdom..."

"I know that! I can't see the castle anymore and we haven't gotten out of the forest yet..."

"We're lost!?!"

"I guess you could put it that way." Yami shrugged, "If we keep going in one direction

we'll get to one of the island's sides."

"Are our clothes dry at least?" Yami peeked in the bag.

"Nope, they need a bit longer." Suddenly voices could be heard in the distance. A few of them

sounded fumiliuar. Then it hit me, it was Yugi's friends they were right in the path we were

taking! My mind whirled to the ship when Yami had tried to go after Yugi. Right now I didn't want

Yami to encounter the small purple eyed boy; especially in just boxers.

"Yami! Let's go this way!" I pointed to the left, away from where I heard the other teens.

Yami looked at me, reading the expression on my face. He frowned, disappeared, and took over

my body in the blink of an eye. I hadn't even had a chance to stop him.

'Yami!' ,I yelled in his mind, 'You can't!'

He ignored me and walked my/our body straight ahead. We got closer and the voice was getting

much louder. We ducked behind some trees and peered at the duel going on in the small stadium.

There was that Joey guy and Rex Raptor dueling each other. Rex Raptor was a great tournament

duelist and had gotten to the finals of the reginal. He used powerful dino cards to overpower

duelist yet, Joey, the supposed beginner was standing there holding his own against Rex.

Yami trained his/are sights on Yugi though. The short boy was standing with his two other

friends cheering Joey on. The gold of Yugi's necklace gleamed in the sunlight.

'Yami stop!' ,I cried out to him as I felt the growing desire within his soul.

'Why should I little one?' He growled to me, 'I want, no *need* to be whole again'

'Onegai stop...' my voice was cut off by my shadow's bitter voice.

'I..I'm tring to stop but...the hold is so strong on me...' Yami's voice disappeared and

I regained control of the body. I took this chance to take off running in the direction

we had came from, hoping Yugi and the others didn't here the sound of bare feet running

on a dirt path. I ran and ran until I came to another part of the stream from earlier.

It was getting dark now, and the sun was setting.

Yami materialized next to me, shaking quietly. Although I could see the tears finally spilling

out of his large brown eyes after holding them back for so long, I said nothing about it.

We sat there silently for a while Yami was trying to contain his emotion.

"I..I wouldn't have stopped it...", Yami whispered brokenly, "I would have done anything,

just anything to get it. It isn't even about my *wanting* it..I'm made to *need* it..."

Yami broke into fresh tears. I'd never seen him so upset, it was worse than in my fathers

bedroom the other night. I found myself, even though I didn't fully understand, crying with him.

Yami wrapped his arms around me and we cried in each others arms.
