Joy: Okay, everyone. Here comes the final chapter of "Reversing Roles". I would like to thank everyone who reviewed or will review this story. I have a list of names at the end as a thanks. Now, read on, loyal readers!

Enemies and Friends

A few moments later, everything was set up and ready for the spell. The lights had all been turned off, and so the only light came from the candles Ryou had lit all around the room. Ryou stood off to the side of Bakura, who was facing Yami and Yugi.

"Okay, now sit…both of you," Bakura ordered. The two obeyed, taking seats across from him on the floor. He also took a seat. "Now, when I start this, there won't be any turning back, and I guess I'll go ahead and tell you that it's going to be painful. Reversing a spell like this is not an easy task on the people that it was preformed on. And you have to stay conscious through this, or else your mind may find itself in a different dimension or something. Got it?"

Yami turned to Yugi. Yugi, are you going to be okay? he asked.

…I'll be fine. Besides, we have to do this to reverse the spell and get ourselves back to normal. Don't worry. I'll be okay.

Very well, aibou. "We understand," Yami said aloud to Bakura.

A moment later, Bakura began to chant in Egyptian. Yami had taught some Egyptian to Yugi, but not enough to understand everything coming out of Bakura's mouth. Though he did catch snippets of words and phrases like 'return' and 'light and dark'. The chant went on for several moments.

The Ring glowed brilliantly.

Suddenly Yugi felt a tremendous pain in his head. Then it felt like his entire body was on fire. He winced in pain, bringing his hands up to his head and closing his eyes tightly. He could tell that Yami was also feeling the same thing he was for he also winced.

The pain only intensified with each passing second. It was soon almost too much to bear. Yugi was trying so hard to will himself to stay awake. I can't pass out. If I do... I gotta stay awake. Then the two tri-colored males felt their minds leave their present bodies as all went black…

Yugi opened his eyes, blinking several times to regain his vision. He looked around. He was lying on the floor of Ryou's living room. Wait...I'm solid! It worked! I'm back in my own body again! When he looked to the right, he saw that Ryou was next to him. "Are you all right, Yugi? You had me worried for a second."

"Oh, Ryou…yeah, I'm – Wait! Where's Yami? Is he okay?" Yugi didn't wait for an answer but instead frantically searched his mind for Yami. Gods, I hope he's okay. Yami? Yami, please answer me! Are you okay? A second later, the spirit appeared before them.

"I am fine, Yugi. Do not fear." Yugi gave him a big grin and slowly stood with Ryou's help. His body still felt a little sore from the spell. He knew he would have to take a day off and rest up if he was going to feel completely all right again. He had a feeling Yami was going to need a day of rest and relaxation, too.

Yugi took another look around. There was someone missing. Finally Yugi realized who it was...Bakura! "Where's Bakura?" he asked his friend. He had not expected the spirit to simply vanish like that.

"He had to go back into the Ring. That spell kind of drained him a bit. But he'll be fine in a few hours," Ryou explained.

"Oh, well, you'll have to thank him for us then, Ryou." Yugi gave his friend a smile. "He really bailed us out of this jam, tha's for sure. I hope he feels better when he wakes up." Yugi looked at the clock on the wall. "We really need to get going. But I want to thank you, Ryou…for everything."

"Not a problem, Yugi. That's what friends are for. Will I see you at the arcade on Monday? School's out now, so we can hang out all we want," Ryou said with a smile, which Yugi returned.

"Sure thing. There's this really great game I just started playing. I can't wait to show you. And Yami can play, too. That is, if you want to, Yami," Yugi said, looking over at his dark.

"I would love to, aibou. But we must get back to the Game Shop now." It was getting late and Yami did not want Yugi's grandfather to worry about the boy.

"Right. See you, Ryou!" Yugi said, waving as he went out the door. Yami nodded his thanks to Ryou and disappeared into the Puzzle, relishing in the feeling of being back in his soul room at last.

Are they gone? Bakura asked after Ryou closed the door behind the two friends.

Yeah, Ryou answered.

Good… Now, about our deal…

Hai, Bakura. You get control for twenty-four hours starting at eight o'clock sharp. Just…don't do anything illegal while you have control of my body, Bakura, okay?

Hikari, you worry too much. Trust me. This is going to be fun.

Somehow, that doesn't give me much comfort…

-Owari-

Joy: Okay, I hope that ending wasn't too disappointing. There is going to be a sequel since so many asked for it. The sequel will be like a continuation of this story, where Bakura has control of Ryou's body for a full twenty-four hours. It will be called "Bakura's Day Out". Not sure when it will be published, but hopefully it will be soon. And I will try to add in lots of humor to the story.
