Read and Review

THIS IS YAOI!! DONT LIKE THEN PLEASE LEAVE.

AN: While I'm lucid *cackles* I'll let you know whats going on. Okay, this chapter will alternate between Ryou's and Bakua's POV. Also...I think I'm making this now a Ryou/BakuraxYugi fic. Sigh. I dunno what else to do with it. Ryou does love his yami so it would make sense. If you really dont want to see those two with Yugi and just want to have Bakrua, I'll understand. Leave it in a review. Okay? Thanks for reviewing! *sees docters coming with a strait jacket and runs*

Yami Bakura: Review. Hrm...Please?

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

(Ryou's POV)

Bakura's gone. After holding Yugi for a few more minutes, he decided that he would face Yami Yugi. I'm worried about Bakura. I..I suppose its just I've never seen him so determined and so angry. He barely could contain his anger when Yugi told him of his yami raping him. What's wrong with Yami? He would never have considered even raising his voice toYugi! Could something be driving Yami's inhibitions, his darkness? I always knew that Yami was a cruel pharoah in Egypt, could it be possible that his past is re-surfacing? What about my yami? This kindness that he's showing Yugi is completely alien! He's only been that way with me. I love him with all my heart but I wonder, does he love me in the same sense that I love him? Exactly how DO I love him? I don't want to dwell on these emotions now. Yugi's more important.

Yugi forlornly walks into the living room, spiked hair damp. His steps are short, barely noticing where he's going. He truly loves Yami and I know that if Yami were to come back and apologize that Yugi would forgive him easily. I shake my head. There's not a chance in hell I'm going to allow that to happen, Bakura either. Whatever's drove Yami to the edge has forced itself into my and my yami's life. Not that I mind taking care of Yugi but I'm a little jealous of Yugi recieving Bakura's affections instead of me. Oh well. I love Yugi too and I'll prove it to him that I won't hurt him. I know he trusts us but...does he trust us enough to let one-or both-of us love him intimately? Will he be so scared from Yami's treatment that he won't allow another person to become that close to him again? I sigh, catching Yugi's attention. I smile at him, doing my best to erase all attraction to Yugi from my mind. "We're going out. I was thinking maybe the zoo."

Yugi brightens and nods eagerly, a faint blush highlighting his cheeks. In his hand is the sweater that Bakura all but forced Yugi to wear should we leave the house. He slips the solid ebony article of clothing over his head, the static electricity causing the locks of hair to cling to the material. I chuckle, the sweater hangs to Yugi's thighs and Yugi's lucky that my yami's so lean. That sweater fits Bakura too tight. I pull a hoodie on and the two of us leave my house. I glance at the empty garage. My father should be returning from Egypt soon. What will he say about Yugi if this entire thing isn't resolved by then? I'm sure Father wouldn't mind. Yugi's also going to have to alert his Grandfather that he's been at my house.

I hear a whimper and Yugi's staring at the Game Shop, shouts escaping the heavily walled building. No doubt Bakura's giving Yami a piece of his mind, as well as a good thrashing. It's what Yami deserves. I go against my better judgement and wrap my arm around Yugi's waist, turning our backs on the business/home. Yugi's trembling again and I halt our steps. He doesn't need to be afraid. Bakura and I, we won't allow it to happen to him another time. Not many people are around. I quickly bring Yugi in for an embrace and hold him tight. The shaking ceases and Yugi murmurs against my shoulder, the words muffled by the cloth barrier. I release him and smile warmly. "You'll be okay Yugi. It'll pass with time. I promise."

"Thanks Ryou."

(Bakura's POV)

I slam shut the door to my aibou's house, pissed. There was no fucking reason for Yami to have hurt Yugi that way. Had the bastard explained to Yugi exactly what he intended, I'm sure Yugi would have obliged happily. Didn't the son of a bitch realize how much Yugi loved him before he sought to tear Yugi's innocence from him, stripping the boy from his pureness? Damn! By Ra, taking Yugi's virginity from the boy should have been an extreme sin! Yami should have been struck down by lightning or some shit the minute he started. Oh, I'll take my time giving the bastard Yugi's sweet revenge. I'm not entirely sure what the fuck I should do yet but I'm sure I'll come up with something soon. I wasn't imprisoned in the Shadow Realm for nothing.

The Game shop is less than a few yards in front of me. I'm sure the precious Pharaoh isn't expecting me. He probably assumed that Yugi went to Joey, not Ryou. I fling the doors open and there's the bastard, waiting with a smug grin on his face. Ra, I want to punch that stupid fucker's lights out but I can't. Not until I get to the bottom of the reason why he's treating Yugi the way he is. "Pharaoh," I snarl with a contemptous sneer of my lip.

"Tomb Robber," the smirk widens. "So, come to put me in my place?" He accentutattes the last phrase of the sentence with quotation marks. Yami starts to laugh, a manical ring to the brass tone. He's lost it, whatever sanity he had before it gone now. I can tell from that peculiar light in the ruby eyes. That same light was there when he was pharaoh and ruled the whole of the eastern world with his domineering reign. What has brought on this flucuation from angelic to demonic?

"You bastard! What the fuck type of question is that?!! WHY DID YOU RAPE YUGI?!!!" I demand, losing the control I had earlier on my patience and anger. Yami's grin fades to a stoicness that I would never have associated with the pompous pharaoh. He stands his full height which barely reaches my shoulder yet, he's kind of intimidating. His expression is dead and his visage is ghostly white. He crosses his arms in front of his chest, leering down his nose at me. "ANSWER!!!"

The look of indifference doesn't fade. "Because I wanted to."

"WANTED TO?!!!!" I leap forward, hands on Yami's clothes, lifting him up. He scowls at me and that sheer look sends me to the edge. I slam him against the wall, satisified with the groan of pain although the noise is soft. "You fucking RAPED Yugi because you wanted to?!!! What the fuck possessed you to do that in the first place?!"

"He IS mine. I will not allow another to lay their hands on him. I claimed my dominion over him. He will never be able to find another mate."

I shake my head, disbelieving the magnitude of how Yami's statement has affected me. Does this mean Yugi will never...never be able to become intimate with another person for the rest of his life? I snarl, pushing him harder against the wall all the while those glowing orbs fixed on my own. "You raped him, bastard. You fucked him without so much as warning. Yugi would have agreed to it if you had only asked." I relish in the shocked eyes. "He loves you and now, he will never come around you again. I for one, will not allow it." I smirk, leaning closer to Yami. "You see, pharaoh, Yugi came to me and my aibou. We were the ones who cleaned his batterted body and made him safe and he will be kept from you forever." I bring my hand back and then slam it into Yami's jaw, busting his lip. I drop the pharaoh. "I'm not weak like Yugi and if you want to get even one foot near him, your going to have to get through me."

Yami picks himself up from the ground, glaring daggers at me. It doesn't matter. I've hit him where it hurts. Wherever the real Yami is, deep inside, he's in pain because he knows every word I've said has been true. Yami snarls at me rabidly. "Fuck you!" he yells, smashing his fist into my gut. I double over in pain. Apparently this side of Yami has grown stronger. I wheeze for a few seconds before gathering my strength and slam full force into Yami. The Pharoah sails through the air and into the window. The glass shatters, horrified screams coming from the streets. I nimbly jump onto the sidewalk where Yami's starting to stand. This Yami also has more stanima. Tiny rivulets of glass are piercing Yami's flesh as he hunches. He sends me one last death glare and says, "I'll be back for him and next time, you won't get in my way." Yami dissappears.

I stare around at the civilians and give them all an obscene gesture before they continued on with what they were doing before. I wipe my mouth, tepid blood drying rapidly. Damn. How am I going to explain this to Yugi and Ryou? There's no way I can fix the window but I'm sure Ryou has enough money stashed in his piggy bank to buy a new one. This confrontation with Yami has left me with one unanswered question; Where's the real Yami?
