Bakura walked alone through the darkness. His footsteps echoed into the distance. He didn't know where he was or where he was going, he just kept walking. Blackness was at every corner, there was no light. As he continued, he heard a girl scream. He knew it was Anzu! The Thief ran as fast as he could to the source of the voice. He finally saw her. Johnny Steps was back and had taken her and pinned her down. Anzu was flailing franticly but to no avail. Around them was nothing but darkness. He was beginning to remove her blouse. He also was whispering inaudible things to poor Anzu. Rage began to build inside Bakura. Immediatly, ran to rescue Anzu and to kill her capturer, but as soon as he got there, Steps pulled out a knife and plunged it deep into Bakura's chest. The pain was immediate and blinding. His once white sweater was now a brilliant shade of crimson. The color drained out of his face as he slumped to the ground helplessly and was forced to watch his love one suffer at the hands of a madman. He didn't realize it yet, but he was slowly bleeding to death. Death didn't matter though, as long as She was safe. He HAD to help her....to save her.......
Suddenly, the Pharaoh appeared out of the blackness. He walked calmly over to Steps, who was occupied with removing Anzu's bra to even notice him. With one swift kick, Yami sent Steps flying into the darkness. All that was left was some blood and several teeth. Yami walked over to Anzu pulled her into a tight embrabe. He kissed her nose. "Everything will be ok" That was all he said. That was all he needed to say.
Anzu cuddled up against Yami and whispered, "I will always love you. You're always there to protect me." For the first time, the two then looked at Bakura. There eyes had no warmth in them. Seto Kaiba would have cowered in fear. The knife in his heart hurt more and more each second. He wondered why death haden't taken him yet. He wished it would hurry up....
Anzu: Your worthless, you couldn't save me! You let him have me! *she spat in his face*
Bakura: No...I tried....never.....*He could barely speak, the knife was taking a toll on his body*
Yami: Go back to where you belong, amongst the bodies of the dead! That's all you are to us, a corpse!
Anzu: Look at the weakling.....
Bakura was in pain, pain so brutal no one should ever have to bear it. Tears began streaming out of his eyes, like the blood streaming out of his heart. This was the first time he had shed tears ever since he saw his entire village get massacred. This was the first time he had felt true pain. "Anzu....please....I love you."
Anzu: Well I'm glad I can't say the same to you! Look how pathetic you are HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! To think you someone could actually fear you! To think someone could love you!
A smile crept over her face. Yami bent down to kiss her and she kissed back passionately. Bakura just watched, as the man he hated and the woman he loved were happily entwined. His heart ached. Blood began making its way out of his mouth.
Anzu: You know Yami, I think its time you get rid of my "love." He isn't dying fast enough.
Yami: Thought you would never ask....
Anzu: Goodbye forever, you pathetic excuse for a person. I hope your heart makes a good meal for Anubis' pet. (I forget the name of the thing that eats your heart when you fail Anubis' Judgement)
Yami sent him one last glare before holding out his hand and screaming, "MIND CRUSH!!"

"ANZU!!!!" Bakura darted up in his bed, face covered in sweat, to come face to face with Ryou.
Ryou: Bakura! Your ok!
Bakura: ANZU! ANZU!
Ryou: Calm down mate, slow deep breaths.
Bakura began taking Ryou's advice and soon he overcame his hystaria. He looked around and for the first time he noticed he was not in his room. He was in the hospital. A needle was in one arm and the other arm was heavily bandaged. He also saw Anzu, Malik, and Rishid sitting in chairs. Anzu got up and ran to Bakura, throwing her arms around him. She was crying hystarically.
Anzu: BAKURA!! I'm so glad your ok!!
Bakura: Anzu......*He held her in his arms and patted her hair gently. She was sobbing into his chest. He then turned to Ryou, Malik, and Rishid.* Why the devil am I here? What happened? Where am I?
Malik: Well, your in the hospital for one thing.
Bakura: You don't say
Ryou: When I got back home, you were unconsious on your bed. There was a knife and your arm was covered in cuts. Blood was everywhere......Bakura, what the bloody hell is going on?
Bakura: ......It doesn't matter.
Anzu leaned forward and kissed him. "But it does matter. It matters to all of us."
Bakura: I don't know what overcame me. I guess after beating up Steps, I had an urge to see some more bloodshed. No one was around but me. I guess it was pretty foolish....
*SLAP!*
Bakura: Why did you do that?!
Anzu: YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME!!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I WAS?!?!
Bakura calmed down a bit. It had been a while since he let someone get away with hitting him.
Bakura: I'm really sorry, I just don't know what came over me. It will never happen again.
Anzu: I know but still.....
She layed her head on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. Her head would rise everytime he breathed. It was like they were one entity instead of two seperate ones.
Rishid: Master Malik, I believe it is time to go to the unveiling of Isis' new Egyptian exibit.
Malik: Yea....sorry, me and Rishid gotta run. Take care Bakura!
Rishid: Please don't hurt yourself. You gave all of your friends, especially Anzu, quite a scare. Have a safe recovery my friend.
Bakura: Thanks you two
Bakura and Rishid had become good friends. Not only was Rishid loyal to Malik, almost instantly making him a friend, but also he learned that Bakura saved his life from Yami Malik in Battle City. Malik and Rishid then left. Anzu and Ryou were left in the room. Suddenly without warning, a doctor came in.
Doctor: Ah, I see your awake Mr. Bakura. We weren't quite sure you were going to make it. Pretty nasty cuts you got there
Bakura: Yea......
Doctor: What happened last night?
Bakura did not want to talk to a total stranger about this. If he didn't know the person, he couldn't trust him.
Bakura: Well-
Anzu: A robber broke into his house! He tied Bakura up in his sleep and demanded to know where his valuebles were. Bakura didn't tell him so he tortured him by making those marks on his arm! *She was hugging Bakura and tears were flowing from her eyes."
Doctor: I see....*his tone was disbelieving* well, your wounds seem to have been treated, you may leave whenever you see fit. There is nothing more we can do for you. Also, if your brother had brought you in any later, we may not have been able to help you. Your very lucky....Now, if you excuse me, I have other patients to attend to. *He walked out the door*
Bakura: Ryou.....Anzu....
Anzu: Shh. *She put a finger to his lips* You said you won't do it again. I believe and trust you. There is no reason to let anyone else know what happened and bring you in for treatment. All you need is some time with me. Its ok to lie sometimes.
Bakura: Thank you Anzu. *He kissed her*
Ryou: I'll leave you two alone....besides, I gotta tell the rest of the gang that your ok.
Bakura: Ryou
Ryou: Yes?
Bakura: Thank you Aibou. Thank you for everything.
Ryou: *whispering to himself* he called me Aibou...... *Outloud* anytime my partner.
Bakura: I am sorry for scaring you.
Anzu: Its ok, lets just go home.
~
Bakura was now in his condo. Anzu had left some time ago reluctantly because she had dance lessons. Now. only Ryou was with him. They were both watching T.V.
Ryou: Tell me Bakura....
Bakura: Yes?
Ryou: What exactly were you dreaming about?
Bakura: Why would you ask such a foolish, irrelevant question?
Ryou: You were sweating and twiching a lot. You also woke up screaming Anzu. You were dreaming about her, weren't you?
Bakura: I have every right to, she is my love, she is my life. *The two sat in silence for a while, just watching T.V. some more*
Ryou: What exactly were you dreaming of?
Bakura: She was with the bloody Pharaoh again.....Damn!*It was out of his mouth before he realized it.*
Ryou: I see.....You know, she was very worried about you. What made you do it?
Bakura: Do what?
Ryou: You know what.
Bakura:.....Promise not to tell? If you do, I will have to kill you
Ryou: Yea....
Bakura: Anzu said some things....it made it seem as if Yami was a better person than me. Made it seem that she found more comfort in his arms. Made it seem if she and him were meant to be together. I couldn't take the pain of her words. I needed to take away the mental anguish with actual, physical harm.
Ryou: They were lovers in ancient Egypt, right? Maybe its destined.
Bakura: ........that may be........
Ryou: But you always have a way of changing Fate and Destiny, don't you?
Bakura: *his mood lightened up* Hehehe, too true my Aibou.
Ryou: You know, that really was a very selfish thing of her to do.
Bakura: She doesn't realize it though, and I intend to keep it that way.
Ryou: Well, sometimes she can be a bitch like that....
Bakura: DON'T YOU EVER INSULT ANZU!!
Ryou: Bakura...I'm sorry, I didn't mea-
Bakura: GET OUT OF HERE!!!! YOU MUST APOLOGIZE TO HER, NOT ME!!!
Ryou: Bakura......
Bakura: Go already, your presense is sickening me.
Ryou began to walk out the door, hurt and crestfallen. He paused at the doorstep and turned around to face Bakura.
Ryou: You know whats ironic? You dreamed about Anzu and Yami being together....
Bakura: Yes?
Ryou: And last night, he was holding her in his arms comforting her. They were acting like a couple again. Of course he was just trying to make her feel better, but it appears your dream may hold some truth to it. History may repeat itself. Can you stop it from happening? *He walked out the door.*
Bakura was now alone and he was in shock. Suddenly, he stood up. He went to the kitchen. He looked around but found nothing. He then searched his bedroom. He searched under the couch, behind the T.V. but found nothing. He sat up and grinned.
Bakura: That clever Hikari of mine......He hid all the knives.

It really pains me to see Bakura like this. He is my favorite character. I was crying when writing the dream sequence. Please review.
