Tenshi: (peaks out) Hello? (calls out to readers) IS ANYONE OUT THERE READING THIS??!!

(crickets still chirp)

Tenshi: -_- Apparently not.

Kerra: (walks in) So, I guess we're the only ones here, huh?

Yugi: (walks in with Yami) And us.

Kerra: (looks out at the loss-of-audience) Wow, Tenshi-

Tenshi: Don't say a word.

Kerra: Well, just don't quite the day job, okay?

Yugi: 0_0? Isn't she too young to work?

Kerra: It's an expression.

Yugi: Oh.

Tenshi: Well, it doesn't matter I'm gonna continue this story anyway. But, I really would like some reviews.

Yami: Kinda stubborn, aren't ya?

Tenshi: (shrugs) I'm just doin' this for fun. So, it doesn't really matter.

Yugi: So, Tenshi, what are we doin' now?

Tenshi: Well, I feel kind of bad that I said I would do a fluff chapter with you and Yami, but I didn't. So, in this chapter I'm gonna do a fluff chapter-

Yugi & Yami: Yay! ^_^

Tenshi: -But not with Yami and Yugi.

Yugi, Yami, & Kerra: Rats.

Lance: Yay! ^_^

Tenshi: _ Stay out of my author's notes! (bonks Lance on the head with the frying pan) Grrr.

Lance: X_X

Yami: 0_0" Guess he's not gonna be in this chapter.

Kerra: ^_^ Oh well, more fluff. (T.N- she doesn't like Lance)

Tenshi: (calms down) Well, once Yugi finishes reading the disclaimer, we can start the story!

Yami: Wait! Who's the fluff gonna be?

Tenshi: (doesn't hear Yami) So, enjoy the chapter!

Yugi: Okay!

Chapter 3: A Forming Bond

"But, Tenshi, how am I supposed to get Bakura over there?" one worried Ryou asked.

The girl on the other end paused. "Uh, carry him?" she suggested.

"Easy for you to say," Ryou said. "Your yami's smaller than you and you live right down the street from Yugi. And Yugi's house is across town for me! I can't carry Bakura all that way!"

"I'm sorry, Ryou," Tenshi sighed. "You'll just have to think of something [1]. Now, I have to go call Malik"

Sighing himself, Ryou hung up the phone. Now what was he going to do? Still worrying, Ryou walked back to his yami, who was still in a comatose state.

Ryou still couldn't forget the wild look in his yami's eye when he had come home. Bakura was yelling and swearing, and tearing things apart. When Ryou had seen his yami in that state, he had been afraid. Well, maybe not afraid. Petrified would be more like it. And he had been reverted back to those horrible days when his yami had not been the loyal friend he was now, but the violent tyrant of the old days. The days when Bakura had hurt Ryou, horribly, and had laughed at him [2]. Fear and hurt had gripped Ryou's heart when he had seen Bakura.

But then, when his yami had seen him, everything about him softened. He looked relieved to see Ryou. At that soft look, filled with the gentleness and kindness that made him Ryou's best friend, had made all of Ryou's fears go away. Now all that Ryou was concerned about was helping his yami.

After the boy had forgiven Bakura, the yami had become a seemingly different person. Now, instead of laughing when Ryou got hurt, he would punish the fiends. He had assumed a protective role of his hikari and he had lived up to it wonderfully. But Ryou never found out what it was that made his yami change.

Opening his door, to find Bakura on his bed, Ryou again wondered how the two of them would ever get to Yugi's house. The thought of waking Bakura up was instantly dismissed. Ryou could tell that that would have been unfair to the yami. Ryou had to come up with some other way.

Drawing a blank, Ryou walked over to attempt to awake Bakura. He almost didn't have the heart to do it. Bakura finally looked peaceful in his sleep [3]. But there was no other way.

"Bakura," Ryou shook the spirit, gently. "Bakura you have to wake up.

Getting no response, Ryou leaned down farther. "Bakura," he shook a little harder. The sub-conscious yami dreamed on.

Then, Ryou had an idea. It was a suprisingly good idea, but Ryou was uncertain of whether or not he should do it. He had no doubt it would work, but Bakura would certainly throw a fit if he knew. Looking back down at his friend, Ryou knew there was no choice in the matter.

He was just about to stand up to get "it" ready, when Bakura's arm reached out and grabbed a hold of Ryou's wrist pulling him down almost to his knees [4]. Immensely surprised, Ryou gaped down at his yami. The once peaceful spirit now looked troubled and was mumbling to himself. Bending down more to reclaim his arm, Ryou was able to hear what his yami was talking about.

He seemed to be arguing with somebody, "No, I won't let you. I told you I wouldn't. I know, but I've changed now. . No!" The grip on Ryou's arm tightened and Bakura began to scream. "No! You can't! Don't! Ryou!"

Even more surprised to hear his name called out, Ryou tried to calm down the old tomb robber but to now avail.

"Ryou!" the spirit cried. "You can't! Don't do this! Don't leave me!"

Wretched with pity, Ryou was near tears as he still diligently tried to calm down the hallucinating Bakura.

Suddenly, Bakura grew still and, to Ryou's great surprise and grief, began to sob. "Ryou. I'm sorry. I didn't protect you well enough."

Crying himself, Ryou hugged his friend. Why was he doing this? Did someone do this to him? Why? The innocent boy didn't understand. "Don't feel bad, Bakura," Ryou comforted. "I'm sure you did you're best, but can't you wake up? I'm right here. You'd see me if you'd only wake up!"

As though finally hearing his hikari, Bakura's eyes slowly opened and they focused in on his hikari. Relief spread through out the tomb robber. His hikari was safe. Oh, his innocent, little hikari was still there and no evil had come to take him away. And Bakura was determined to keep it that way.

Realizing that he was in his charge's arms, the spirit gently hugged the boy back. "I won't let it happen, Ryou," Bakura swore. "I promise I'll protect you. Just don't leave me." And with that, he slid his eyes closed again and fell back into slumber.

Slowly, removing himself from his yami's arms, Ryou quietly backed away and silently walked away to get the "thing". The reasonable part of him kept saying that Bakura should stay here and rest. But Ryou knew better. Suppose Bakura had another nightmare? One that was a lot worse? Shaking his head, Ryou slid the "thing" out of the closet and rolled it over to his room [5]. There was nothing Ryou could do for Bakura. But maybe, with the other hikaris' help, they could do something for his friend.

Fin*

Tenshi: Well?

Yami: It was actually pretty good.

Yugi: I liked it. ^_^

Kerra: Not the best, not the worse.

Tenshi: As you can tell, they're all getting bored of me.

Yami: Wasn't this kind of short though?

Tenshi: I know and I'm sorry, but I'm not feeling too good. But I still wanted to update this at least, so this was the best I could do. Depending on how tomorrow goes I'll try to make the next chapter longer and also upload some new stories.

Kerra: (looks at the non-existent audience) Who are you talking to?

Tenshi: -_- Pretty much to myself. Oh well. (looks over at readers, if any) HEY!! IF ANYBODY'S READING THIS, PLEASE REVIEW!! I JUST REALLY, REALLY WANT TO KNOW IF ANYONE BESIDES ME IS READING THIS!!

(crickets chirp)

Tenshi: -_- Never mind. I'll update soon. Until next time, C'ya! ^_^

Key-

[1]- More like since I'm the one writing this, I'll have to think of something. [2]- I know this is rated PG13, but I don't really want to do any child abuse. Besides, with Bakura and Ryou, it's getting kind of old. [3]- Yami: 0_o Say what? [4]- I am so evil. ^_^ Remember! Read it as you want! [5]- You're not going to believe what I came up with. Take a guess if you want! ^_^

ONE REVIEW!! That's all I'm asking for! ONE REVIEW!! 1!!
