Read and Review

THIS IS YAOI!! DONT LIKE THEN PLEASE LEAVE.

Yami Bakura: *watches Akemi hit the padded walls.* I am OCC as is Yami. I'm sure Akemi would clear the matter up if she wasn't still in the nuthouse. I have no idea whats going on but..sigh, they allow her to keep writing chapters. Their more crazy then she is. So, hrm, I guess if the OOCness has made anyone mad, Gomen.

Akemi: *cackles insanely*

Yami Bakura: Review. Hrm...Please?

VENTUS (Latin for beautiful...I think....-_-)

I yawn, startled to feel a warmness against my body. I allow myself a few peaceful moments. The early morning sun is streaming through the window, the curtains billowing lackadaisacally against the wall. Some reason, dawn and dusk appeal the most to me. Both are on the verge of light and darkness, much like myself, ne? The young one on my chest starts to wake, the amethyst eyes shutter open. He tenses immediately upon seeing me. I don't blame him, he doesn't trust me and I doubt he will trust another being for the rest of his life. Damn Yami. Today is the day I confront him.

Yugi scoots from me to the far edge of the bed, his back turned to me. I sigh, hands snaking to Yugi's shoulders. He quivers from my touch. "Yugi...." His mouth gapes at my usuage of his real name and not brat. "You don't have to worry. I'm going to protect you from him."

"Why?" he squeaks.

"Your like my Aibou and I would never allow this to happen to him. I have to be strong for him and since you both are the same, I have to be strong for you too."

Yugi bows his head, blushing. "You actually care....about me?"

"Yes. Yugi, you don't have to afraid anymore." I stroke his cheek, he leans into the carress. Almost as if he was craving the attention. "Yugi...in order for me to protect you, you have to tell me what happened."

He trembles and I draw him into an embrace. "Y..Yami wanted...wanted to get...get physical a while ago." He gulps, licking his dry lips. I prod him gently to continue. "I..I didn't understand.. so he...left it alone. I don't know whats happened to him Bakura!" Yugi sobs, clutching my shirt in his small hands. I smooth the blonde bangs from the dampened skin. "It started a few weeks ago....and he..he just become so cruel to me! At..at first...it was insults but then...then he ignored me.. I.." He sniffles, holding onto me tighter. He's quiet, gathering his bearings.

//Aibou?//

//.....I'm listening Yami.//

//Good. You aren't..mad at me are you?//

//For what?// He laughs.

//For comforting Yugi//

//No, I'm not angry Yami. I love you and..and I'm so glad that your there with him, even if your not acting like yourself.//

//I'm not, am I? A word of me becoming soft leaks out and I'll kill you.//

//Sure you will Yami.//

//Shut up.// I roll my eyes, refocusing my attention on Yugi who's sobs have lessened. He's hurting, I can feel it in his ki. His aura is full of pain. //Aibou...I am going to Yami's soon. I want you to take Yugi somewhere to get his mind off of the bastard.//

//Alright Yami. I have a question for you Yami?//

//What?//

//Would you get angry at me if...if I were to comfort Yugi in the same way do?//

//.....No. You care....?//

//I have...for a while. Yami, I still love you but I think I love Yugi too.//

//Do what you want Ryou. I won't stop you.//

//You really have changed.//

//I hate it!//

//I know you do but...I'm relieved that your not violent anymore.//

//Even though I am a sentimental fool now?//

//Oh hush you.//

Yugi begins again as I break off my conversation with my hikari. "I came home yesterday and Yami was waiting for me...He..he beat me up first and then, then he made me touch him." I feel the anger heat my face. Yugi senses my rage and glances at me. "B..Bakura. Your..your really mad aren't you?" I nod, bringing my lips to his forehead and kissing him tenderly, nudging. He smiles weakly. "He made me...made me lick him-" He ceases talking. "He..he forced himself..himself into me!" Yugi gnaws his lip, blood forming. He winces a little as he agonizingly steps off the bed, the first step causing him to become woozy. Yugi collapses to the floor in a heap.

I rush beside him and cradle him in my arms. "Damn that fucking bastard. That son of a bitch. Hurting you this way. I won't let this go unpunished. He will pay for harming you!" Yugi nods, sighing. "Will you let me help you even..even if it ends up getting Yami hurt or maybe worse?"

"I trust you Bakura."

The door opens and Ryou comes inside, a bright smile illuminating his face as he kneels beside me and Yugi. His arms wrap around us and the three of us hold on. Yugi burrows into mine and my aibou's chests. Tears splash against my fingers. Ryou glances at me, our thoughts the same.

//He loves his yami//

//That he does Aibou.//

//I'm not sure what to do about this Yami. I...I guess I'm feeling a little apprehensive about the entire thing. What do you thinks wrong with Yami Yugi?//

//I'm clueless Aibou but you can damn well bet I'm going to find out from the bastard!//

Yami Bakura: I really dont like this chapter. I'M TOO OOC. Akemi, baka, doesn't even care either. She's making me into the GOOD guy. Find out if Yami Yugi gets his.

Review! ^_^
