DISCLAIMER: *mumbles. Shoves sign in ground and walks away* Sign: Don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Get off my case.

KTT: Yay! I'm on a roll.

Bakura: More like the rocks in you're head are.

KTT: I'll let that one slide. Okay chapter two, gomen for making it short but the ending I thought of was just so kawaii and I have trouble filling in parts off the story so I said o well it will just be short. Oh and I know what you're thinking. 'Okay if he can read Ryou's thoughts then why didn't he stop him before he tried to kill himself?' My simple answer...Bakura was emotionally distraught....that's why.

Ryou: You mean it's actually gonna end like happy this chapter?

KTT: Hai.

Yugi: Yami can u make me another sandwich?

Yami: *gets worried look and looks around suspiciously* Ummm you're not hungry aibou..

Yugi: Hai Yami, I am.

Yami: No you're not.

KTT: *blink blink* Is there something you're not telling us Yami?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" You mean I can get rid of you? Forever?"

"Hai. But if you're going to get rid of it and me then destroy it. Don't kill yourself to seal me back into this damn thing. I may deserve to be locked up in it but you don't deserve to loose your life."

Ryou lifted his head, but kept his eyes down, thinking. I can get rid of him. I can end all of this torture. He'll be gone and I can have my life back. But what if Yugi and Yami are right? What if he has changed and he's not going to hurt me. But what if they're wrong? What if nothing changes?

// I'm not going to hurt you anymore Ryou.//

Ryou looked fully up, locking eyes with Bakura.

"How do I know that?"

Bakura sighed, sitting down on the bed and placing the Ring in his lap.

"If I was going to hit you, don't you think I would have done it by now? Especially since you looked me in the eyes and you know I don't allow that."

******************************************

"Are you sure it's okay to leave them alone?"

"Hai aibou. It's perfectly safe."
"Because of you're spell right?"
"Iie. I took my spell off of Bakura when he brought Ryou here."

"So Bakura isn't going to hurt him? Even without your spell?"

"Hai aibou. He's thinking without his fists for once."

*******************************************

Ryou reached over, grasping the Ring and pulling it into his own lap. He ran his thumb over its edge, staring at it.

"I don't hate you. Gomen nasai....for hurting you hikari, I was only....scared."

"Of me?"

"Hai of you."

"Why?"

"I was afraid you'd hurt me. You know the way I hurt you."

"I would never hurt you though."

"I know."

"So what happened to you....back in Egypt to make you afraid of me?"

"Gomen Ryou but I'm not ready to tell you that just yet. Besides you still have a decision to make."

Ryou slipped the ring over his head, letting it fall comfortably onto his chest.

"It's okay, I won't push the subject."

"So you've decided to keep me?"

Ryou laughed, smiling at his yami.

"Light needs darkness. 'Sides I figure we can train you."

"Well Ryou looks like I'll have to keep you happy from now on."

"Why?"

"I like it when you smile at me. When you're not scared of me."

They sat there for a minute, silence filling the room, taking in all that had just passed between them.

"What are you feeling Bakura?"

"What do you mean?"
"The Ring doesn't feel so cold anymore." Bakura smiled to himself.

" I'm just happy that you can look at me without being afraid."

"Bakura?"
"Hai?"

"Are things really gonna be different? You promise that you won't hurt me anymore?"

"I promise hikari."

Ryou sighed, putting his hand on Bakura's shoulder.

"Does this mean we can be like Yugi and Yami now?"

Bakura smiled, reaching over and gently ruffling Ryou's hair.

" If that's the way you want it....my aibou."
