dedicate it to my first three reviewers: Sarina Fannel, Boo Ba The Lamb,
and Jokid. This chappie's for you guys!

Chapter Two- Realization: Part One
(A/N: Just so you know, it's still in Bakura's POV)
Suddenly, there is a flash of light, brighter than the fires of Hell, and I feel something hot latch onto my ear.
A cry almost escapes my lips, but I clamp my mouth shut until the pain has passed. Somehow, I know that on of the earrings is on my ear, while the other one, on Ryou's. Curiously, he hasn't cried out in pain, nor is he lying on the floor, as I'd expect him to. No, he's just standing there, which leads me to believe that there is a VERY strong magic afoot.
I remember the earring, and reach up to touch it. Almost at the exact same time, Ryou reaches up as well. The moment my finger touches the earring, an excruciating burning feeling is sent down my entire body, like a jolt. The same thing happens to Ryou, and we both jump.
The Pharaoh chuckles.
I feel the blood boiling in my face, I'm blushing, I just know it. I turn my head, to look at Ryou (If he's laughing at me...) but, no! He's blushing as well!
*~ Ryou's POV ~*
I don't know why I'm blushing. I just am. Bakura is too, but I think it's anger, not embarrassment. Come to think of it- I don't feel very embarrassed at all. Just confused.
*~ End of Ryou's POV ~*
Yami looked at the two of them, a smile playing at his lips. The earrings had worked perfectly! Of course, he wasn't about to tell THEM that. He'd let Bakura find out on his own.
'Well,' he said. 'It would seem that we're finished here. Now, you two can go on your way..'
'We most certainly will not!' snapped an angry Bakura. 'Not until you get these god-damned things OFF of me!'
Yami cocked his head, and looked at Ryou. It seemed to him, that Ryou looked pretty upset as well. Ryou looked at him, and Yami raised his eyebrows questioningly. The young boy folded his arms, and narrowed his eyes.
'Yugi,' said Yami.
'Yes?' came Yugi's nervous reply from the shadows.
'Show our FRIENDS to the door,' said Yami, looking strait at Bakura when he said Friends.
'Don't bother,' said Ryou. All three of them looked at him questioningly. Bakura was the most surprised. 'We're not going to leave,' he continued. 'until you take these things off.'
'I won't,' said Yami. 'You must learn what the Earrings have to offer.'
Bakura snorted, brushing off the fact that Ryou had talked back to Yami. 'Learn what the earrings have to offer. What a joke,' he sneered. 'All right, we'll go, but we'll be back.'
Bakura strode over to the door, Ryou fallowing, a little closer than usual. Once outside, Bakura made a mental note to give Ryou a good beating when they arrived home.
It was about ten minutes later, however, that Bakura noticed that Ryou was keeping up with his long strides. Bakura quickened his pace. So did Ryou. Hmm, thought Bakura, I'll get to the bottom of this.
When they arrived home, Bakura turned around, so that he was facing Ryou. The boy didn't seem very scared.
Suddenly, Bakura couldn't take any more of Ryou's impudence. Snarling, he jumped up and ran to attack Ryou, head-on. Bakura new that this was the worst thing one could possibly do. However, against such an armature opponent, how could he loose? He didn't know, until to late how wrong he was.
Ryou side-stepped, putting his foot out, not only tripping Bakura, but causing him to leave the back his neck exposed, which, Ryou steadily karate- chopped with one quick motion.
Bakura jumped up, furious at his counter-part for such an act.
'I'll snap your neck,' he hissed.
'I wouldn't,' said Ryou.
'Why not?' asked Bakura.
'Aren't you forgetting the Ring?' he said, pointing to the circle of gold hanging around his neck.
'I can still break a few bones,' shouted Bakura, lunging himself at his "opponent". It seemed that Ryou's "moment" had passed, because this time, he cried out in fear. That's more like it, thought Bakura. I'll show him. Bakura landed on his Hikari (A/N: did I spell that right?), and drove a fist into his left cheek. All of a sudden, Bakura felt something collide with HIS OWN left cheek, with such force, that it knocked him off of Ryou, and into a nearby wall. When Bakura looked up, he saw that Ryou had also been flung into the wall, and was lying beside him.
'What the hell is going on here?' he shouted.
'Maybe, a...poltergeist?' asked Ryou timidly. Bakura raised his fist, but at that same moment, he saw Ryou raise his own fist as well.
'No,' said Bakura. 'I think it has something to do with these god-damned earrings.'
Ryou was shocked. Hearing his Yami speak civilly sounded almost alien to his ears.
'Do you think that box-thing with the buttons could help su get some information on these earrings?' asked Bakura in a tone that sounded a bit KIND to Ryou.
Ryou shrugged. 'It's worth a try...' he said.

Silver: ok, in the next chapter, you'll find out why Bakura is being kinda, well...Kind and nice. You'll see.
Peace,
