"Guys Ryou's gone!!" yelled Kurama as he ran back to the others.

"What! Ryou's gone!" yelled Yusuke. "Let's go find him."

Everyone rushed around the temple looking for Ryou. Kurama snuck outside for some time to think and to look for Ryou.

'Why did Ryou run away? Why did Hiei act the way he did? Why did he---who the heck is listening to a cd at a time like this?!?! Hey wait a second.none of us has a cd-player.Ryou.'

Kurama listened more intently trying to figure out what it was,

I close my eyes

and I can see

the day we met

just one moment and I knew

you're my best friend

do anything

for you

"Yeah. Bakura.when I first saw you you were my best friend.but you changed once you heard of the millennium items. I have no other friend besides you." Ryou sighed.

We've gone so far

and done so much

and I feel

like we've always been together

right by my side

through thick and thin

you're the part of my life

I'll always remember

"I wish you were still my friend."

The time has come

It's for the best I know it

Who would've guessed that you and I

Somehow, someday

We'd have to say good-bye

"Yeah, I said good-bye to the old Bakura."

You've helped me find

the strength inside

and the courage

to make my dreams come true

how will I find

another friend

like you

"What happened to the old Bakura, the one that loved me.[-_- this is getting corny]"

Two of a kind

that's what we are

and it seems

like we were always winning

but as our team

is torn apart

I wish we could go back to the beginning

"."

The time has come

It's for the best I know it

Who would've guessed that you and I

Somehow, someday

We'd have to say good-bye

"Good bye."

Somehow today

.we'd have to say.

good-bye

Tears fell from Ryou's eyes as the song ended.

//Awww.is my girly little hikari crying// Bakura's voice echoed through his head.

/ "Bakura?"/ Ryou spoke through his mind link and with his voice without knowing it.

//of course it's me! who else can talk through your mind!//

/./

//humph! Ignoring me now are you. I guess I'll just have to come out and teach you a lesson/

/ "no.please no.don't come out of the ring."/

//you don't have a choice// ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Kurama watched as Ryou listened and sung to his cd. It saddened him to know that his brother was so lonely, while himself has been quite popular with lot's of friends. Kurama sighed then he noticed Ryou talk to himself.

"Bakura?" he said.

'Bakura? Who the heck is Bakura?'

"."

'I wonder what's wrong?'

"no.please no.don't come out of the ring."

'huh? What ring?' Kurama looked at Ryou, he was visibly shaking from something in a ring. 'WHAT!? The ring around his neck is glowing. This can't be good.'

Kurama dashed forward and ripped the ring from Ryou's neck startling him. Kurama then pulled something from his shirt and tied it to the ring, and then chanted something. Kurama held the ring and turned to Ryou.

"Ryou." Kurama looked at the spot Ryou was just at. "crap! He's gone again!"

but Kurama saw a patch of white run back into the temple. Kurama (being a demon) ran quickly into the temple and tackled Ryou to the ground. Ryou was crying uncontrollably now.

"Lemme go! Get off! Leave me alone!" Ryou was sobbing real hard now.

"Ryou! Listen! I'm tryin to help you!" Kurama yelled back. The yelling caught everyone in the temples attention. They all rushed to the room they heard the noises in. Everyone stared at the scene before them. Kurama was holding a crying Ryou to the ground and yelling at him.

Kurama pulled Ryou into a sitting position and hugged him.

"Shhhh.it's alright Ryou, I'm here for you."

" * sniff * Kurama.I * sniff * missed you.w-when I first saw you a-after I b-bumped into you.I-I [T.T this is sooo corny.] knew y-you were my brother. I just." then Ryou broke down sobbing harder than ever. Eventually he fell asleep.

Kurama took Ryou to one of the many many many guestrooms in the temple, and put him on a bed covering him with a blanket. After he set the millennium ring on the table across the room. Kurama sighed as Hiei entered the room. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
