Bakura yawned , it was morning and for the first time in a while he slept without having nightmares. He got himself dressed and walked downstairs. He made himself some breakfast and when he finished he was ready to go to school.
He walked to the front door and passed the door to the living room in witch his Yami was lying on the couch starring at him as he passed the door.
" Are you planning on going to school like that ? " ; he said.
Bakura stopped and walked a few paces back warts to the door to the living room.
" Well , yes ... " ; he said confused . " why shouldn't I go like this ? "
Yami Bakura just lay there smirking and pointed his wise finger at his eyes.
" What ? "
Yami Bakura sighed and said ; " Take a look in the mirror... "
" The mirror ? "
Bakura walked to the mirror in the bathroom and looked in it confused.
Yami Bakura who walked up to him said ; " I told you so ... "
Bakuras eyes were no longer brown as usual but they were now bright red , with no pupil in the center.
" B... But... " ; Bakura muttered.
" But what ? "
" But how am I going to hide this ?! Hiding the amulet was easy and the teeth weren't that difficult to hide but how am I supposed to go to school looking like this ! "
" Just don't go to that stupid school... "
" What ?! "
" Just don't go to the stupid school ! "
" But what am I going to say ! "
" Just say you have the flu or something "
" Are you sure ? ... "
" COURSE I'M SURE , JUST AS YOURE TOLD ! "
Yami Bakura just watched as Bakura left the bathroom while thinking ; ' The fool... , he doesn't even know what it al means... ' Then a smile appeared on his face and left the bathroom.
____
' Two days now , it has been two days and he's still sick... '
Yugi was playing with his pen while he starred at the empty seat on the other side of the class. The teacher was calling out all their names to see who was absent.
' Something must have happened... ' ; his counterpart said...
' But what ?! '
' I don't know , but I know a way to find out... '
' What are you planning ? '
' Let's just say that we are going on a visit this afternoon... '
___
At the end of the school day Yugi walked alone to Bakura's house.
' What do I say when he opens the door ? '
' Just say that you came to bring some homework... '
' Ok , if you say so... '
___
Bakura was sitting on the edge of his bed , in his hands he was holding a picture of him and his friends taken when they were at Duellist Kingdom. He missed his friends so much but he couldn't do anything to change his situation. His fear of Yami Bakura has grown so big that he didn't even look him in the eyes anymore. He felt useless as if he had just one reason to live , to serve his Yami till he would die. Also he couldn't just pop up at Yugi's place , if he saw him like "this" he'd freak out for sure... And Yami never let Bakura out of sight just in case something like that would happen...
Ryou closed his eyes as he tried to fight the upcoming tears.
' Why did this have to happen to me... '
Yami Bakura was standing in the door way looking at him.
' if he would know how to use his powers he could destroy me easily and yet he doesn't , it doesn't make sense , is he so afraid of me or of himself that he wont even take the chance and become free ? ' ' Ooh well , it will be over soon enough... '
then Yami Bakura walked back through the hall. Ryou was still sitting there starring blank at his picture when suddenly he heard something It was the doorbell...
' the doorbell... but who ? '
Ryou stood up and walked to the window , he moved the curtain a bit and peeked down. He saw Yugi standing in front of the door and he didn't notice that Yami Bakura had walked inside his room.
" Are you expecting someone ? " ; he said with a bit of anger in his voice.
" No , I didn't... "
" he would have come here anyway so it doesn't matter , if I were you id step away from the window before he sees you... "
___
Yugi looked up he saw a shadow moving away from the window.
' well , at leased we know that someone is home... '
' how do you know ? '
' I saw someone standing in front of the window ' ___
Ryou was starting to panic...
"how in heavens name am I going to hide all this ?! "
" you have long hair... "
" so... "
" use your hair to hide the eyes and hide your teeth the same as you did at school that day... "
after doing what Yami Bakura told him to do Bakura walked down stairs towards the door.
___
Yugi looked up
' I think I hear something... sounds like footsteps '
then the door opened a bit slowly.
" Bakura ? "
Bakura looked up , pretending to be surprised to see Yugi.
" Yugi , what are you doing here ? "
" The teacher asked me to bring you your homework , can I come in ? "
" sure , don't look at the mess I've been in bed so long that I didn't have time to clean it all up "
Bakura opened the door a bit more and let Yugi walk in...
" That's ok , so how are you feeling now ? "
" I'm a bit dizzy and I have a headache but ill be ok... "
Yugi put down the papers on a table in the living room.
" I think you should get some rest then , you just go to bed and ill just leave "
"... ill let you out ... "
" it's no big deal , just go to bed I can let myself out... "
Ryou wasn't in the state to start an argument " ok and Yugi ?... "
Yugi looked up as he opened the front door.
" ...thanks "
Bakura walked upstairs as Yugi walked outside
' you don't think of leaving are you ? '
' eeh... yes , why ? '
' you're given an invitation to look around his house and you ignore it ?! '
' ...sorry , I'm just not the sneaking kind of guy '
' then ill take over... '
' ...ok , but promise me that you won't do anything stupid , ok ? '
' I promise... '
Yugi turned into Yami and sneaked back inside closing the front door behind him.
He walked to the kitchen and started to check every drawer and closet.
' well , nothing here... '
he then walked to the living room and started to search there. His eye fell on a desk witch had one of the drawers half open. He walked over to it and pulled out the drawer.
' well I think we found something... '
Yami put down the drawer on the desk and looked through some of the papers. He lay some aside and put the drawer back in the desk. He folded the papers he lay down on the desk and put them in his back-pack.
' I think we have enough info now... we'd better go... '
Yami silently opened a window and sneaked quietly sneaked back home... Little did he knew that Yami Bakura was starring at him from the window on the second floor
___
Yugi and Yami were busy with the papers from Ryou's place.
" I don't get all this... I can read some of the words but it doesn't make sense... "
" Why that ? "
Yami looked up from his pile of papers and looked Yugi in the eyes
" I can't believe that the spirit of the millennium ring is doing this to Ryou... "
Then there was a loud knock on the door and Yami disappeared back into the puzzle
" the door is open , come in "
Joey , Tristan and Téa walked in.
" Hey Yug , what's up with the sad face ? "
Yugi sighed and said : " Nothing... "
Téa walked over to him and lay her hand on his shoulder " Come on Yugi , you know you can tell us maybe we can help... "
" I don't know if you guys can help me with this... "
" If you don't tell us you wont even know if we " are " able to help you... "
Yugi sighed again " ...ooh well... " and Yugi started to explain what happened...
~some time later~
Joey stood up from Yugi's bed eyes wide open. " Ya mean that the evil spirit of the millennium ring is back ?! "
Yugi nodded...
" Damn , there goes my weekend "
Téa looked at Joey with a sweat drop and then turned back to Yugi. " but if whatever you say is true , how are we going to stop him... "
" by breaking the amulet into pieces... "
" ... and how do you think we find Bakura... "
Yugi picked up one of the papers from his desk. " the papers said something about an underground temple... "
"... and the museum did have a closed underground area , maybe he's there since the museum had the amulet itself until it disappeared maybe Kaiba build a remake of the temple or something else like that in that closed area... "
" Yeh , maybe he's over there ! "
" then what are we waiting for... "

Yami Bakura was still standing in the hallway looking at Ryou in secrecy... Ryou was sitting in the corner of his bed with his back against the wall , his arms wrapped around his knees and his head was resting against his knees , tears were rolling down his face. Ryou had sat there ever since Yugi left this afternoon and all he did was starring down at the floor , ceiling or he was standing there looking outside at the sun , moon or the people that passed his house... Yami Bakura didn't know why but he started to feel whatever Ryou was feeling right now... He didn't understand the feeling Ryou had , some of them he recognised he had them as well long ago... He still didn't understand why Ryou didn't destroy him , he still had all the power he needed in his own hands and yet he did nothing... why ?
Yami Bakura took a few steps forward and now stood in Ryou's room. Ryou looked up with tears in his eyes. " Why are you doing this to me ? "
Yami Bakura who was looking at the floor looked up and said ; " Somebody has to do it... " " But don't worry , it will all be over soon... "
Yami Bakura walked over to Ryou's bed and sat on the edge of it starring at Ryou.
" Do you promise... "
Yami Bakura sighed and said ; " I... promise... "
Ryou held out his hand and so did Yami Bakura... Their hands toughest each other. Ryou and Yami Bakura both closed their eyes and Yami Bakura slowly disappeared and took over Ryou's body...
He then reopened his eyes and stood up. He starred once more at the full moon that was shinning outside , his eyes were flaring red and there was a strange glow around him as he turned around and walked to the door...
" this is the end... "
