Chris: Tigerlily, read the warning…
Tigerlily: Warning!!! This fic has:
~ yaoi goodness - no lemon, just a bunch of random groping and fantasies (this chapter's pretty tame)
~ lots of bad words (thanks mostly to Bakura and Ryou)
~ major angst and darkness (there's fluff too… fluffy angst?)
~ horny and lustful yami's
Chris: If you don't know what yaoi is, then this probably isn't for you. Yaoi and shounen ai deals with male x male relationships.
Tigerlily: So if ya don't like that sort of thing do us all a favor and hit the bricks. If you do flame us for it, you will be torched. *pulls out her trusty flamethrower*
Chris: So, if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all.
Tigerlily: So keep your damned mouth shut! You have been warned!!

Chapter 3
~~~~~~~~~~
~~~Bakura's POV~~~
This must be a dream. I mean, the Pharaoh no Baka just asked ME to kill him. Maybe this is a dream. I mean really, why would Ryou do anything but run in fear from me? Yet just seconds ago we were making out like a couple of bunnies in heat. Damn pharaoh had to go and ruin my nice dream… If I turn around will Ryou still be on the couch? I decide to turn around and see that Ryou is gone! Dear Ra! I should have known t was just a dream. But does that mean this is real. The pharaoh has come to ask me to kill him. I see Ryou walk back into the room with a small tray of tea and 'biscuits'. I don't know why he insists on calling them that when they're obviously cookies. He says that's what they call them in England. When I pointed out that this was Japan not England, he glared at me and wouldn't let me even kiss him the rest of the night. He looks over and smiles at me with a slight blush on his cheeks. He's so beautiful, I can barely believe it.
"Tomb Robber! Are you going to invite me in or are you stand there like the idiot I know you are?"
I growl at him and Ryou steps over to pull me away before I throttle him on the spot. As he's doing this, I realize the Pharaoh is gawking at MY hikari! The little bastard, I'll rip his eyes out…
/ You'll do no such thing. /
// Aw c'mon. Please? He's staring at you! It's really pissing me off here! Doesn't he know that's rude? And if anyone should know it'd be me. //
/ Is that something you really want to be proud of? Besides, he didn't know you had your own body now. I'm sure it's freaking him out. Now behave or we will not pick up where we left off before we were so rudely interrupted. /
I sigh in defeat.
// Yes, dear. //
"Yami, please come in." My light invites the gawking pharaoh into our home and gestures to the living room. Yami sits in the chair next to the sofa while my hikari and I sit closely together on the sofa. I hold my koi's hand and Yami's stare intensifies. I think he may actually be jealous. Heh, poor Yami, jealous of a tomb robber. In case you were wondering that was sarcasm.
"How…" He shakes his head in confusion.
Ha! This is rich! That pompous, arrogant, opinionated, self righteous, preachy pharaoh is speechless! I wish Malik and his yami were here to see this… then again, there'd be nothing left for me to kill so it's a good thing they're not.
~~~Ryou's POV~~~
"You mean how did Bakura get his own body?"
Yami just nods his head dumbly. I also noticed he's staring at Bakura's hand holding mine. He can't be jealous can he?
"We're not sure how it happened. I just woke up one morning with Bakura laying next me... That was a month ago."
Yami's eyes shoot open wider than Yuugi's. I didn't think that was actually possible.
"Alright Pharaoh, what do you know?"
My yami just glowers at him. I know it may sound strange to hear but he looks really cute when he does that. Sexy too… does that make me vain and narcissistic to think my yami is cute and sexy? I mean he looks just like me for the most part. But Bakura's right, Yami knows something. He gives no outward sign yet something inside me tells me he knows what's going on. Something doesn't feel quite right.
~~~Bakura's POV~~~
I don't know how, but that damn Pharaoh has his own body too. I didn't realize it until he sat down and stared at Ryou and me. I couldn't sense any shadow energy from him! This wasn't his spirit form and even when he took control of that runt's body I could still feel the shadow energy emanate from him. He had his own body and my instincts were telling me he knew how it happened or maybe even caused it.
"Alright Pharaoh what do you know?"
He glares at me. Ooohhh, I'm so scared of the big, bad Pharaoh no Baka.
"About a month ago, Yuugi came across an old spell book in a used book shop. It had hieroglyphics in half of the book and strange writing in the other half. I'm still not sure what it is. Yuugi bought it because he thought I might enjoy reading something in our old language. He had no idea what it was at the time and gave it to me. I came across a spell that gives spirits flesh…"
"And you decided to try it out on me first?!"
My blood is boiling. I want to kill him now!
/ Bakura, calm down and let him finish. Besides if that had been what he had done then why would he be surprised that we're two people now? Yami's known for his dueling and gaming talents, not acting. /
// Aw c'mon Ryou. I just want to gut him like a fish with a box cutter and hang him with his own intestines. Is that really too much to ask for? //
/ Do you really want me to dignify that with an answer? /
"No I didn't. Maybe because I used my puzzle during the spell…"
"So maybe all the spirits of the sennen items now have bodies?"
Poor Ryou, looks like he may faint. I squeeze his hand tighter to comfort him.
// Are you all right, koi? //
I cringe at the slight panic in my 'voice'. But Ryou just smiles. That wonderful angelic smile.
/ I'm fine. Don't worry, love. It's just the thought of Marik running loose is very unsettling. I mean sure, Malik's slightly insane but Marik is a homicidal maniac who just wants to destroy things. Poor Malik. /
"It's possible. I never even thought that this would happen."
"Just like royalty. See the shiny pretty object and don't even think of the consequences."
"The same can be said for you Tomb Robber!"
"On the contrary. When I see a shiny pretty object or for that matter anything I steal, I know what I'm doing. I also know what will happen if I get caught. The difference between you and me is, you're stupid where as I just don't give a fuck."
~~~Yami's POV~~~
I hate him. I hate him. I HATE HIM!! I hate him and everything he stands for. He and Ryou have apparently gotten close. I can only imagine what he was in the middle of when I came. That would explain why he's so cranky… well more so than usual. I imagine I'd be cranky too if someone I hated came barging at the door while I was with Yuugi… mmmm, Yuugi. ARGH! I GOTTA STOP THAT!!! Oh well, if I can't have any why should I let Bakura? Heh, heh now I feel a little better.
They're holding hands and sitting so close. I wish Yuugi and I could do that. I wish Yuugi and I could look at each other with nothing but love in our eyes. But Yuugi hates me now. I hate Bakura. How can one of the most evil and vile people on the planet find happiness? It's not fair! He doesn't deserve it! I deserve it more than he ever will. Bastard. Maybe I'll just kill him and go find Malik and that psychotic yami of his to help me. But then Ryou would be unhappy and go crying to Yuugi with what I did. Then Yuugi will hate me even more… I wonder if that is possible?
If Yuugi was more like Ryou and other boys his age, I wouldn't even have this problem. Not that Ryou is impure by any stretch of the imagination. He's a very kind and gentle boy. But the childlike innocence that believes everything will work out in the end and that there is good in everyone, is no longer there. Ryou knows life is far from perfect. Not everyone wants to be your friend. Not everyone has some good in them somewhere. He knows the world is a very harsh and ugly place where some take joy in the suffering of others. He knows it and accepts it without letting it affect his course in life. He's a nice boy. It's a shame he had to get such a bastard for a yami.
The possibility that other yami's, i.e. Marik might have a body of his own makes Ryou look terribly ill. Can't really say I blame him. I wonder what they've been up to? Leaving death and destruction in their wake no doubt.
Great. Bakura is giving me a lecture about consequences. ME! Hmph. Wonder what he'd say or do if I told him that it seemed like a good idea at the time?
"…The difference between you and me is, you're stupid where as I just don't give a fuck."
Wait a minute. He just called me stupid. I don't care if it'll make Ryou unhappy. Bakura dies now!! I start to lunge at him but Ryou gets in my way. Damn hikari. Ack!! He's using the puppy dog eyes!! Yuugi must have taught him! Or maybe he taught Yuugi. Whatever. He's using them on me and now I feel… bad. Stupid puppy dog eyes.
"Yami, please I know you're upset. But don't hurt Bakura, I love him. I couldn't bear it if something happened to him now."
Ack! And now he looks like he's going to cry. Great. Just great. It seems I have a newfound ability to make hikari's cry. Bakura's glaring at me. I don't blame him, but still. How dare he glare at me! I sit back down in an effort to calm Ryou down and it works. He and Bakura are snuggled up on the couch when finally Ryou speaks.
"Yami, why are you here?"
Apparently he was out of the room when I made my request… No wonder he's so calm. He'll probably react the same way Yuugi did. Yuugi, I didn't mean to hurt you. I still managed to do it somehow. I wonder do you hate me as much as I love you? I wish we could have what Ryou and Bakura do. But you had to be too innocent for your own good… or maybe too innocent for my own good. Is innocence truly such a bad thing? The only one it's hurting is me. Yuugi was right, I am a selfish bastard. It's time I end this for his own good. Maybe one day he'll understand why I'm doing this. Ryou's staring at me… of course, I didn't answer his question. Well, here goes nothing.
"I came to ask your yami to kill me."
Straight and to the point. He's staring at me gaping like a fish out of water. I don't think he was expecting that. Bakura sits by him expressionless but I know he's comforting him through their link. Finally he finds something to say.
"Surely you jest? You can be serious! Surely this is some sick joke?! Please tell me you're not serious!"
"I'm afraid I am quite serious. I want to die and I need Bakura's help."
"Do you have any idea how this would affect Yuugi?? I doubt very much he'd be pleased!! You can't do this!"
The poor boy is on the verge of hysterics.
"It's for Yuugi's sake, I'm doing this."
"His sake!?!? How on gods green earth can this benefit him?"
"I'm doing this so I won't taint his innocence… I've been trying for almost a month to die. But no matter what I do, I wake back up in my soul room. I've jumped off of buildings, drowned myself, and stepped in front of a variety of huge moving vehicles. And even though I die, I find myself alive again in my soul room each and every time!"
"But what about Yuugi? You know this must be hurting him!"
"Yuugi hates me now. He told me to ask Bakura to help me."
Ryou gasps in shock and does his fish imitation again. Bakura looks equally shocked, he's been quiet this whole time. He cradles his hikari as he cries lightly on his shoulder and stares at me. His expression is unreadable. I've never seen him look that way. I've always been able to tell what's going through his mind because he's very basic and predictable. But the look he's giving me now is one I've never seen and it really makes me uncomfortable. It seems his new body has seriously affected him more than I realized.
My blood boils as Ryou pulls away and looks up at Bakura and kisses him. Apparently they're having another mental chat. Suddenly Bakura kisses Ryou on his forehead and hugs him. How dare they do this in front of me! How dare they mock me by flaunting what they share! I hate them both. I wish they were dead! But I need Bakura's help. Damn! Damn! Damn! Stupid Tomb Robber. Finally Ryou begins to speak again, more calmly than before.
"Yami, why do you want to do this? If you're gone, who will protect him? Didn't you promise him you would always be there to protect him?"
Yes, I made that promise. But if I stay, I'll taint him in the end. I don't expect you to understand and I'm not asking you to, Ryou."
"How could you possibly taint him? And is it so horrible if he does become tainted?"
"I know how and why. In fact I understand perfectly." Ah, so Bakura will be joining the conversation after all.
"What do you mean, 'Kura?"
"He's in love with his little 'aibou'. Scratch that, his innocent, little aibou… He's afraid he'll end up changing Yuugi and it'll be all his fault because he couldn't control himself. I never knew the Pharaoh was such a fucking coward."
"Is this true?" Ryou asks me with wide eyes. I only nod in response.
~~~Ryou POV~~~
I can't believe what I'm hearing! He's come to ask my Bakura to help him kill himself?! Surely this must be a sick joke. Or maybe he's gone mad? I don't know what to say. I want to scream, yell and cry. I consider Yuugi and his yami to be my friends. There aren't many in the world who can understand the yami and hikari relationship. We understand what the other goes through when dealing with our yami's. What do you do when someone you think of as friend comes to ask your yami to help kill him? I know Bakura would love nothing more than to fulfill his request but I can't let him. I can't let any friend take their life and not do a damn thing about it.
/ Bakura? Please don't do it! Don't let him do this! Yuugi would be destroyed if anything happened to him. /
// Koi… I know Yuugi's your friend but Yami seems sure of what he wants. //
/ Bakura, if you help him… I'll never forgive you. If you really love me, you won't help him. /
// … You know for 5 millennia I've dreamed of this moment. I've wanted nothing more than revenge on him. //
/ Bakura… would you really choose revenge over me? /
// I don't want to choose. It's hard to let go of something you've held close to your heart for so long… //
/ I'm sorry Bakura, but I need you to choose. How much is vengeance worth to you? /
I can't help but hold my breath. I don't want to lose him. I hear him sigh through our link.
// Ryou… I love you so much…… Alright, I won't lay a finger on him. But I'm not going to talk him out of it! //
I'm so happy. He chose me! He's right 5,000 years of anger and dreams of vengeance is hard let go of. But he did it for me.
/ I love you, 'Kura. Thank you so much. I know how hard it was for you to let it go. And I love you for it. /
// You better. And I expect you to make this up to me… somehow. //
I feel him smirk through our link and I can't help but smile.
/ Oh, I'm sure I'll think of something. /
I turned my attention back to Yami and proceeded to try and make him change his mind. I do my damnedest to convince him, to open his eyes to see how foolish he's being. He claims he's doing it for Yuugi's sake so he doesn't taint his innocence. It sounds so stupid to me. Does he really expect Yuugi to stay and be pure as the driven snow? Innocence only last so long. Losing it is a part of growing up, we all have to do it sometime. I know Yuugi can be childlike but he won't always be. Will he?
He tells us about his past attempts of suicide. All successful but only temporarily. How odd, I wonder why it happens? I try pointing out how hurt Yuugi would be if he did such a thing. But then he tells us that Yuugi hates him. I didn't think Yuugi had it in him to hate anyone... well except for Pegasus. But he was stealing souls for crying out loud! Yuugi's so forgiving and kind in spirit. Even a little bit of him felt pity for Pegasus. Then he drops an even bigger bombshell, if possible. Yuugi told him to get Bakura to help him! Maybe we've misjudged Yuugi? Just because he looks like an eight year old doesn't mean he is one inside. Were we all fooled by his innocent appearance and believed he was based on that? I can't imagine Yuugi ever saying that to anyone, let alone someone he cares about. Yami is a part of his soul. How can anyone tell a part of themselves to die?
/ This can't be true! Yuugi would never say that… would he? /
// I don't know what to think anymore. He appears innocent but that doesn't mean he is. //
I start to cry a little, I can't help it. I feel so overwhelmed and confused.
/ Something must be horribly wrong if he said that. He must be in so much pain to even think it. What can I do?/
// I'm sure you'll think of something… //
I pull back and look up at my beautiful lover and kiss him lightly on the mouth.
/ I hope so. /
Bakura kisses me on the forehead and hugs me tightly in his arms. It's so comforting and full of love. Who knew Yami Bakura could love anything besides gold, revenge and world domination? I'm glad he's here with me.
I turn my attention back to Yami. He doesn't look too happy. I wonder if he'll kill me if I continue with my pleas? I decide to continue on, it's too important not to. I remind of the promises and vows he made to Yuugi. But he still continues with notion that he's going to taint Yuugi. And then for good measure, the condescending bastard adds, "I don't expect you to understand." No wonder Yuugi yelled at him and told him to get help from 'Kura. I'm about ready to let 'Kura have his way with him.
// I heard that, koi. Say the word and I'll get rid of him permanently. //
/ I'll try to keep that in mind. But right now let me try to change his mind. /
// Oh fine. Be that way. See if I care. //
I continue with my interrogation when suddenly Bakura speaks up. He thinks Yami is in love with Yuugi and is afraid that Yuugi will no longer be innocent if he gives in to his emotions. It seems so stupid but I ask anyway. All Yami does is nod his head. That's his reason? That's his incredibly stupid and asinine reason? I feel a sudden surge of anger fill my veins. How can he be so thoughtless and selfish? He doesn't deserve Yuugi's love or friendship. No wonder he's so mad. And I find myself experiencing what Yuugi must have felt. A part of me wonders what if Bakura had chosen to do what Yami's doing instead of confessing to me. I can't bear the thought and lash out at Yami.
"So rather than face it and Yuugi, you're going to take your life? You selfish son of a BITCH!! You're nothing but a fucking bastard, you know that Yami!? Do you think Yuugi will stay innocent forever? Do you think he'll stay that way long after you're gone? Who's going to protect him if someone decides to 'taint' him forcibly?!"
"I knew you wouldn't understand."
"Understand? I understand all too well. I understand that you're a selfish son of a bitch who right now only cares about his own pain. I understand that you're a fucking coward for not telling Yuugi how you feel. And I understand that you're a fucking bastard for not caring how much this is going to hurt Yuugi, especially when he finds out why!"
The Pharaoh no Baka just stares at me, absolutely oblivious to what I'm trying to say. I'm sure Yuugi probably tried as well. But it just goes through one ear and out the other.
/ I have to get out of here 'Kura. He's making me so angry! /
// That's fine. Go for a walk. It'll help make you feel better. //
/ I'm scared. I've never felt such rage! /
// I know. Trust me, it will pass. Go get some air, I want to talk to the baka some more //
/ …remember 'Kura, not a finger! And if he tries to attack you, don't kill him! /
// Yes, dear. //
I can't help but smile through our link.
/ I love it when you call me that. I feel a little better already. /
// I know. Don't be gone long, I want to pick up where we left off. //
I feel the smug little bastard smirk as I blush. But it only makes me love him more.
/ I won't be long. /
As I walk out the door I wonder what exactly is Bakura going to say to him?
~~~Bakura's POV~~~
As I watch my light walk out the door I turn back and glare at the pharaoh. If Ryou hadn't made me promise not to lay a finger on him, I'd be knee deep in his blood now. How dare he treat my hikari that way! I've never seen Ryou so angry before. That bastard brought pain to my love and I want nothing more than to tear him limb from limb. I wonder if dropping a boulder on him would be considered as 'laying a finger on him'? I'll be touching the boulder, not him. And by the time it reaches him, I'll no longer be touching it. Heh, heh.
/ Don't even think about it. /
// Spoil sport. I can dream can't I? //
/ And here I thought you only dreamed of me. /
// I have many dreams koi. World domination, Yami dead at my feet… But you're still my favorite. //
/ I love you too. /
// Of course you do. What's not to love? Now let me take care of this moron. //
/ Fine. /
"You've hurt my hikari. If I hadn't promised Ryou to not hurt you, you'd be a lot deader than you already are. I hope you're proud of yourself."
"Actually, I'm not. It wasn't my intention to hurt him. I seem to have newfound ability to make hikari's cry and run from the room."
"The same thing happened with Yuugi?"
"Yes."
"Stupid pharaoh. And you think he hates you?"
"He said so himself."
Dear Ra, how could anyone be so dense? It's probably from all that inbreeding. I swear, he couldn't catch a clue if you pinned it to his ass and drew him a map!
"Did it ever occur to you that maybe the reason he said he hates you is because he loves you?"
"Tomb Robber, that is the most retarded thing I've ever heard come out of anyone's mouth. If he loved me, why would he say he hates me? Besides, he's too pure to ever think of me in that way."
"You sure about that? Actions speak louder than words. He may say he hates you but the way he acted tells me he cares for you a great deal. I don't think he hates you so much as what he hates that you're doing. He's in pain, so he lashed out. Much in the same way Ryou lashed out at you. He wants you to see what you are doing to not only yourself but Yuugi. But you've got your head stuck so far up your damn ass, you can't see it."
"Somehow I seriously doubt that. I came for you to kill me not lecture me!"
"Answer me this, are you sure Yuugi is as innocent as he looks?"
"Of course he is! How dare you insinuate otherwise!"
"It just seems to me and Ryou, that if he's so innocent then why would he give you permission to kill yourself and point you in the right direction? That doesn't seem like the actions of an innocent. I think we all assumed he was because he looks like a damn eight year old. You have to remember Yami, he is still a teenager. A sixteen year old teenager, not a little child. Just because everyone around him treats him as such, doesn't make it so."
He glares at me as if it'll scare me. What does he expect? For me to get down on my knees to grovel and beg for forgiveness? Hah! Fat chance, conceited, condescending bastard. If he wants to die so much, fine. I'll tell him exactly how to do it. I actually just thought of it. I'm surprised he didn't figure it out, but then there is that inbreeding he has to deal with. He never was too bright, in this life or our past one. Some things never change.
"Alright Yami, you want to die still? So be it. But I promised Ryou not to lay a finger on you and I intend to keep that promise…"
"How honorable of you." He sneers at me, the asshole.
"If you want me to tell you how, I suggest you shut your fucking mouth!" He doesn't say a word and only glares, so I continue.
"You are bound to the puzzle as I am bound to the ring. As long as the puzzle is in the hands of the one destined to wield it, you will return to it. No matter what you do. So the solution is actually very simple, Yuugi must die. So long as he lives, you live. So long as he breathes, you breathe. You are bound to him and the puzzle for all time. Just as I am to Ryou. Light and Dark exist for each other. Like good and evil, one is nothing without the other. True you won't entirely die when Yuugi does. You're still bound to the puzzle and will always be till the end of time. You will return to the state you were in before you were freed. The endless abyss of darkness… it might as well be death. That's the closest you'll ever be able to come."
"How convenient for you. I kill Yuugi and you get the puzzle no problem. Do you take me for a fool Tomb Robber?"
"No, I don't have to. You are a fool. You can't see what's going around you because all you can think of is yourself. I don't need you to kill Yuugi for me. I can do it fine on my own thank you very much. And without you around to protect him, no one will be able to stop me."
"Really? What about Ryou?"
"Okay, fine. You have a point there. But I'm not the only one in the world looking for the sennen items, specifically your puzzle. You do remember Malik Ishtar and his yami, don't you? His yami wouldn't think twice about killing him and probably do something really horrific to him in the process."
I can't believe this idiot! I wonder, was he born stupid or did he just grow that way? Maybe he was dropped on his head often as a child. Ha! Maybe his hair isn't spiky and that's just the shape of his head? I thought suggesting he had to kill Yuugi would snap him out of it. I wonder if he'll do it? He can't be that mad, can he? I kinda wish I hadn't mentioned it. Ryou will not be pleased. But I honestly can't think of another way for it to come to an end. No matter what, Yuugi will be hurt and as a result so will Ryou. Damn, I don't think I'll be getting any for a while…
~~~Pharaoh no Baka's POV~~~
Stupid Tomb Robber. Does he honestly think I'm stupid? But then a part of me realizes he's right. I live because Yuugi does. I always go back to him. Ryou's words echo loudly in my mind. "Do you think Yuugi will stay innocent forever? Do you think he'll stay that way long after you're gone? Who's going to protect him if someone decides to 'taint' him forcibly?!" I know he's right, but does it make it any better or right if I'm the one who taints him? My choice is clear. I know exactly what must be done. For both our sakes.
"I've heard enough. I'm leaving."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to see and talk to Yuugi."
Chris: Mwahahahaha! Bow before my evil as the plot goes to crap! I want you all to know I'm really supposed to be packing my shit to move Saturday and I haven't really got squat done. I hope you're happy because I blame you all. ^_~
Tigerlily: But that doesn't mean we don't love you! You really made Chris happy with all the reviews!
Chris: Yup, and the only reason you're really getting an update now is because I got insomnia these last couple of nights and this came spilling out. I still have a touch of the fluff bug as you can see. Hmmm… what else did I want to say?
Tigerlily: Thank you to the reviewers?
Chris: Oh yeah! ^___^ I wanna thank all of you for reviewing. I feel so warm and fuzzy now! And you all get talking Bakura plushies! ^__^
Tigerlily: He says, "The fates are against me!", "The Gods are mocking me!" and "Mmmm, chocolate covered Ryou!"
Chris: We can't help but make him a little naughty. ^_~ And for all of you lovely and wonderful people who put me on their favorites list, you also get a Change of Heart Ryou. He's so kawaii.
Tigerlily: He doesn't say anything but he's so cute he doesn't have to. ^_^
Chris: Anyway, it's going to be a while before I can update again because of the whole moving thing. I have NO idea where my computer is going to go. There are not a whole lotta phone jacks in the place. ~_~ So, I don't know how long I'll be offline but I should be able to check my email at the library.
Tigerlily: Which is why this chapter is longer than the others… sort of.
Chris: I also have already started the next chapter and as a result this fic is going to be one chapter longer than I planned. But judging from the reviews, I don't think you'll have a problem with that. I had a bright idea and not even Taryn knows about it… but she will when she beta's it. Mwahahahaha! Bow before my evil! And, bow before my catch phrase! Anything you wanna add, Tigerlily?
Tigerlily: Make Chris happy some more and review! ^_^ She's a lot nicer to be around when you do.
