Bakura: AH!! YOU!! starts chasing "Kura

TR: waaaahhhhhaahhahaha I have to deal wit them now, on with the fic.

Zora's P.o.V

I'm so tired of being here

She ran down the street to the crosswalk. As Zora waited for the cars to stop, she looked around to see if anyone was following her. Things have been very confusing lately. First Bakura with his dreams and then a kid that looks like him, except younger shows up mysteriously telling her that he knows her, but she didn't know anyone. Only Ryou and Bakura and some kids at school, not someone from the Millennium Ring.

The cars stopped and she ran across the street. Zora stopped at a nearby store and bought a drink. It was cold outside; she had forgotten her coat at home so Zora was out freezing. She walked around town trying to sort out the mess that she had left back at Ryou's place. 'Kura was probably eighteen years old now and he was talking to her now.

'It was strange how he treated me' Zora thought. Tear stung her eyes as she recalled what happened just an hour ago. Bakura looked very angry when 'Kura attacking Ryou. Ryou. The tears fell from Zora's eyelashes. She didn't do anything when he was getting hurt, just sat there and ran away.

Suppressed by all my, childish fears

'After everything he did for me,' Zora sat at the curb on the street and put her head on her knees. 'Gave me HIS home to live in, a family, well friends, to LIVE with when he found out I was alone in MY home,' Everything was going wrong. Bakura can't figure out his past. It's hurting him badly, so bad. 'What was happening to him now? I'm nothing but a coward, Always running from my problems.'

"I'm a COWARD." She said out loud, "nothing but one."

She looked up and around. Zora was very surprised when she said it out loud. Something caught her eye. It was Ryou. He was across the street looking around with a worried face. His left cheek had a bruise from when 'Kura had kicked him. Cautiously she got up and quickly. Too late Ryou caught sight of her.

"Zora!" He called out.

If you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave

"Zora come back!" Ryou cried out, but Zora kept running. She turned into a dark alley and ran up to the next one. When she reached the next alley, Ryou was there, blocking her way. She screeched to a halt and ran the other way. Tears were running down her cheeks as she ran away from him.

"Zora what are you doing, come back!"

"No! Leave me alone!"

Zora looked over her shoulder to see Ryou running after her. She turned and took the next alley to her left. When Zora turned, she jumped up to a hanging ladder and hung there as Ryou ran past her. When he left the alley, she got down.

Cause your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone

Zora ran down the alley again and made a U-turn back out of the alley and towards the crossroads, only to bump into someone. Zora fell on top of who ever she had collided with. She opened her eyes to see Ryou below her. He looked at her with a face of sympathy

"I'm sorry," Zora said getting up quickly and started to run again. Before she could start, Ryou had grabbed her around the waist and held her close to him.

Ryou's P.o.V

"No let go! Why did you come for me?" Zora cried out, tears streaming down her face, "I've been nothing but trouble to you."

Ryou pushed her hair back and rest his head on her shoulder. Zora was trembling now trying to get away.

"It's not your fault. It never was," Ryou said soothingly.

You'd cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears, And you'd scream, I'd fight away all your of your fears

He slowly let go out Zora incase she ran off again, but she didn't. Ryou took her hand and led her to the park. He sat next Zora. She was leaning on him, still crying. Ryou wiped away her tears with his finger and smiled at her.

And you still had all of me...

Zora wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his chest. Ryou rubbed her back comforting her. They stayed at the park for an hour because Zora had fallen asleep. When Ryou woke Zora up to go home, She refused. He had to admit that he was a bit reluctant to go home too.

"It's alright, I won't let anything happen to you," He said, but didn't tell her he didn't want to go either. They walked back to the apartment complexes and enter their room.

Normal P.o.V

On the couch sat 'Kura. He had the Millennium Ring around his neck. Ryou looked around. 'Where's Bakura?' Ryou asked himself. It was dark in the house. Ryou tried the mind link, but it seemed that he had no ability to use it anymore.

"Bakura-"he yelled out.

"Silence fool!" 'Kura hissed at Ryou.

He got up off the couch and walked over to Ryou. He raised his hand and a slapped Ryou across the face, sending him to the ground. 'Kura grabbed Ryou by the back collar of his shirt and dragged him into the kitchen.

"Ryou!" Zora screamed.

"Make me some food, runt!" 'Kura commanded as he pushed Ryou to the ground.

Ryou's P.o.V

Shaking, Ryou got up holding onto the counter top. He peeked out the kitchen to see 'Kura curled up on the couch with Zora in his arms. She looked like she was resisting to sit there. So Ryou took his chance.

"Where is Bakura?" he said in a semi firm voice.

'Kura looked over at him with a glared, but then smirked.

"He and I are one again. I am the body and he is my soul, I am Bakura."

"What do you mean?"

'Kura got up off the couch, making sure Zora stayed there and walked up to Ryou grabbing his hair and dragged him out to the kitchen.

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you!" (I don't even understand how I'm going to write this) 'Kura hissed and threw Ryou back onto the floor. "Now make my food!" Ryou got up and hurriedly got out some food to cook for a meal. Half an hour later, Ryou brought out the food he cooked and handed it to 'Kura. He demanded Ryou to sit down on the ground next to the couch.

'Kura ate the food, offering some to Zora, but she refused to eat, so he finished the meal himself. Ryou didn't eat anything because 'Kura had refused to let him leave the living room. Ryou took the dirty dishes into the kitchen to wash after 'Kura had fallen asleep. He had Zora in his arms. Somehow she had managed to fall asleep with his arms around her.

Ryou washed the dish and silverware. He took the pan off the stove and moved it over to the sink and began to wash it. He was so hungry, but he didn't dare fix something for himself. A thought floated to the top of his head and something clicked. Bakura was gone now. Tears welled up in his eyes. Ryou never thought that he would be gone. When Bakura use to beat him, He thought that there was no way he could get rid of him. Bakura just haunt him and his friends, but now his was gone.

The tears fell from he eyes into the dish tub. Ryou wiped the teardrops away.

"Ryou, what are you doing?" came a calm voice.

Ryou turned around. It was 'Kura. Panic waved through Ryou. His eyes widened and he turned the running water off, quickly.

"Nothing just washing the dishes," Ryou replied nervously.

"I can see that," 'Kura snickered.

This was strange. One minute ago, 'Kura was a cruel person, but now he was smiling a little.

"Bakura?"

"Who else would I be?" Bakura said with kind sarcasm.

Ryou smiled and ran over to his old friend and embraced him. Bakura was a bit surprised by this but smirked and patted Ryou on the head. They sat down at the table and talked.

"What happened?" Ryou asked, "What happened to you?"

Bakura sighed, "I'm not sure," He replied, "All I know is my past self, which I know now that's who 'Kura is, and I are one again but not completely."

"I still don't get it."

"Me neither, but I've learned of my past now..."

TR: Sorry to leave you on a cliffhanger with this but I have everything set for the next chapter, so be patient. R&R
