Sheep: Totally obvious, isn't it?
Ok, so ~~~ means there's a change in narration from one person to another, ok?

"Ryou! Ryou! Oh, where has that boy gone...?"
I've been locked out of our room for the whole day and it's at least midnight now. I want to get to bed.
"RYOU!"
I blasted the door open with my Millennium Power and the doorknob sizzled slightly from the blast. When I walked in, I wasn't too surprised at what I was looking at.
Ryou was slumped over his desk, sleeping. His silver hair reflected the lamp and the moonlight from the window. His hand still held his favorite calligraphy pen while he slept. His eyes, for once, were closed serenely in deep slumber. But it looked like his eyelashes were recently wet...
It looked like he was writing something, too...
My hand was about to take the paper from under his head before I decided not to. After all, what business is it of mine to look at my hikari's work? Plus, leaving him to sleep means that I get to sleep on the bed tonight.
I climbed into bed and closed my eyes and my mind to go to sleep, but for some reason, I couldn't. Curiosity was gnawing away at the back of my mind as I struggled to silence my thoughts.
Frustrated, I got up and gently took the paper from under Ryou's head. He whimpered slightly at an unknown beast in his dreams.
Silly boy... He should know by now that dreams aren't real... Your mind just makes it real to yourself.
I read what my hikari was writing beforehand with difficulty. There were wet areas that looked like Ryou was... crying.
Crying? Why would he be crying? I haven't touched him for quite some time now. I haven't hurt him... directly, anyway. There's no reason for him to be crying!
Unless...
Unless he hates me.
A dreading feeling suddenly appeared in my stomach at this realization.
He hates me? I know we've never really got along too well, especially in our soul rooms, but I never thought that he'd actually hate me...
Wait. Maybe he doesn't hate ME, but he hates being half a person. And maybe he just hates never knowing what I'll do when I'm in control of our body. Maybe that's it.
I hope that's it. I never thought that what I did would make him feel this way about me. I always told him that I was going to do certain things, but he never asked what. And he never once complained to me when I hurt his so-called friends.
"Uhh..." Ryou was stirring in his sleep. He slowly stretched and yawned, apparently oblivious that I was standing next to him with his poem in hand. Stupid boy...
"Bakura!" His eyes widened to the size of the Ring when he saw that I was there. "I, uh..."
"Do you really hate me this much?" I asked him quietly. I must've had a pained look on my face because he had a sad, shamed expression when he looked at me. Yeah, he'd better feel sad for me. I was in emotional pain! How could my hikari hate me?
"No, Bakura, I don't... HATE you," he said with his soft voice. Damn, I love that voice of his... He looked down and said quietly, "I just wish you wouldn't abuse my friends like you do. It really hurts me inside when I see them suffer." His eyes welled up with tears again and some of that emotion leaked through our mental link.
So much pain... And sorrow that I had caused. I knew that I made others unhappy, but I didn't think that Ryou would be affected like this as well.
"I... I didn't know, Ryou."
By this time, silent tears were falling from his eyes onto his desk again. I was right; he was crying before I came in. I never knew that Ryou was so filled with these emotions and how miserable he was all because of me.
I stood there in our room, still shocked at the intensity of his emotions that were still present in our link. Not knowing what to do, I sat down on the bed and put my head in my hands. What made me miserable now was that it was I who had made my other half miserable. How could I make it up to him?
"Ryou?"
He looked at me with tear-filled eyes.
"I-I'm sorry..."
~~~
Did he just say he was sorry? I have never heard Bakura even think of apologizing before, let alone say it our loud! What made him so sad?
"Ryou?" He glanced up at me with a forlorn expression and, for the first time I have ever seen, with shame in himself. "I... How can you possibly forgive me? I never meant to hurt you."
He never meant to hurt me? For some reason, I doubt that... How many times had he abused me through our link? How many times has he ruthlessly attacked my friends? Especially Yugi. If this is about that poem I wrote and he's trying to make it up by just saying "I'm sorry", it's not going to work... not even if I actually do think of something he could do.
"I can only forgive you through time," I said quietly. "There's no easy fix."
~~~
Through time...
How much time? I don't want to feel this way forever! But, little Ryou's probably felt like this for what probably feels like eternity anyway…
I let him sleep on the bed that night, to show him that I would try my best to keep my promise to make him happy with me.
I don't want him to be so angry with me like this.
And I have no idea why...
