Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. This is a one-shotted conversation of Ryou talking to his yami, having some disturbing things to say. You can only hear what Ryou's saying though, not Bakura. On with the fic.

O_~_O_~_O

I'm waiting for you.

I'm going to say it.

Now.

Hi Yami.

What's wrong?

What do you mean?

I said hi.

What's the matter with that?

It seems strange?

So does robbing banks and jewelry stores.

But that's what you do, isn't it?

So you seem very strange too.

No, I'm not mocking you, Yami

Gomen nasai, Yami(1)

I-I'm sorry, Yami

But, but-I've decided not to fight it anymore

Fight what?

Fight you!

Yes, I've been fighting you

Disobeying you, ignoring

But I promise I won't anymore

I promise I won't, Yami

Meaning?

You need to know the meaning?

I thought you would know.

I won't fight it-or you.

Meaning you can do what you want to do.

Robbing, murdering, obsessing over Egyptian magic-I don't care.

Deep down, I think I never cared.

That's why I put up with you.

Through the self-mutilation, and through the insults.

I was weak.

Too weak to care.

And I don't care.

Not at all anymore.

So here, Yami.

You can have my body whenever you want.

Cut it, slice it, impale it-

Sever it, for all I care.

Seriously.

Yes, seriously.

I don't care anymore, Yami.

Take control-rule my life!

It doesn't make a difference!

Maybe then-in Duelist Kingdom-but...

Not anymore.

All my friends-you chased them away.

Yugi, Tèa-everyone.

Even Malik.

He was your friend, wasn't he?

Why did you chase him away?

Alright, I'm sorry.

I won't ask anymore questions.

At least I'll try.

But-don't you want total control over my body?

I swear I'll give in, anytime you want.

Even if it's to kill the Pharoah.

He just avoids me now, anyway.

Why are you trembling?

Are you afraid of me?

What's wrong with you Yami?

I'm giving you a gift.

Complete control.

Whenever you want.

Aren't you happy?

This is what you wanted.

What do you mean it wasn't?

You didn't want to give me any control,

Not then, not now!

I'm sure of it!

Just except the present...

Yami, I'm not going to fight you anymore, I promise...

You can do...

Whatever you want...

To me, or anyone else...

I swear...

Murder, impalement, sending to the Shadow Realm...

It makes no difference to me anymore.

I.

Don't.

Care.

...Yami?

Why are you looking at me like that?

You're looking at me like you're scared.

What do you mean what's wrong with me?

I've just learned to accept death.

You were always telling me I was weak, weren't you, and that by being tough and being able to kill without second thoughts was a sign of true greatness.

Did you change your mind?

Yami, how could you?

And after all I've done.

Where are you going?

Back into your soul room?

Why??

I make you sick?

But I'm still the same Ryou you knew before.

I'm not?

Oh well... I only want to make you happy.

Yami?

Yami?

Yami, don't make me cry.

Yami, please...

I just wanted to make you happy...

To give you a nice gift for once.

Yami?

Yami!

..Please don't leave me, Yami-kun.(2)

All I said was "Hi."

(1) Gomen nasai = "I'm really sorry" in Japanese.

(2) -kun is a suffix used by other boys towards boys to show closeness. However, in this case, it might be a stretch. *shrugs*
