A/N: Final chapter! Thanks for everyone in advance for reading this. It's early and I have a really bad headache, I just really felt like finishing up. Ryou's terribly OOC. Oh well, this is what he's really like, the anime just shows the quieter side of him =D.

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, Kazuki Takahashi does. And the song goes to Coheed and Cambria, "A Favor House Atlantic"

Ryou ran a hand through his messy hair, not feeling very threatened. After returning from the Shadow Realm, Bakura was much less frightening; he hadn't hurt anyone since. Laughing it off, he slipped into his Care Bear pajamas (that rainbow bear ones, of course!) and drifted off to sleep.

Dreams always pissed the pale boy off because Bakura wouldn't STFU!!!1 (Ryou always expressed his anger in l33t.) He kept swearing the death of the pharaoh, his eminent rise to power, blowing up the world, etc. This time a new verse was added into his chant. "The road blocks shall perish." What the h311 did that mean? Oh well, it was time to wake up anyway.

Don't bother to write Disturbed by your words

Ryou was probably the only being on earth that is ever happy about getting up in the morning. Then again, Ryou was the only being on earth that had an evil spirit who felt like possessing him at night. Win-Lose situation. As he fumbled into his school uniform in front of the mirror, he was rather saddened that Dress-Down-Day had come to an end. Since it also marked the end to Seto's leather fashion show, which, no matter who you were, was always a disappointment.

He turned on his little bedside radio and began to hum some of the words. Wasn't this the stupid song he was singing? Oh well, better learn it to get it stuck in his head again. What was it again...?

Good eye sniper
I shoot, you run
Face step let down
Face step, step down
Bye Bye Beautiful

With the last line Ryou's eyes sharpened with a wicked laugh. Although it was over in a moment he felt the shivers down his spine all the way to school.

Nothing out of the ordinary had happened that day. The usual Joey-being-a-little-S.O.B. had commenced. Since he was literally stuck in the middle of the two's bickering during class, he was about to rip some of his hair out. When he couldn't take it any longer, he commented snidely,

"You two fight like a married queer couple,"

Which immediately shut up the both of them, but for different reasons. Joey didn't want his masculinity questioned. Seto inwardly protested, his eyes flashing a quick, "Only if I was fighting with you," glare, seeming a death gaze to anyone else.

Ryou smiled back weakly, "You're such a girl,"

Seto then crossed his arms, defiantly saying without words, "AM NOT."

About an hour later during recess Kaiba did his best to prove it to the pale boy in the library. They returned to class a minute late.

Just another ordinary day...

At 2:30pm the class was released, with hips and hurrahs for the weekend for all. Honda had somehow smuggled a keg into his house and was going to hold a party tomorrow. Anzu was going to smoke another bowl as she usually did on Friday nights. And only known to few, Joey would find himself nuzzled next to Yugi on Saturday morning. And Kaiba would be doing work on the weekends (shock, surprise.) Did he even remember it was their anniversary tonight...?

Ryou shook his head, pretending he didn't care if Seto had forgotten. It's such a girl thing to worry about things like that, he thought to himself. As he totally put inviting Yugi out of his mind, he fretted over if he was pretty enough for the Kaiba-boy (as Pegasus would say.) He twirled his pale hair, What if he likes blondes better? Or red heads? He pushed the hair back behind his ears, trying to push back these thoughts as well.

Your eyes tell the stories of a day you wish you could
Recall the moments that once have

He finally reached his house, so lonely at the end of the street. He couldn't remember the last time someone had even visited. Not since his parents had...Don't think of that. As he fumbled with his keys he opened the door, a luxurious smell floating through the air.

"What the-"he questioned, shutting the door behind him as he entered.

Seto greeted him swiftly with a kiss, wrapping his arms around the smaller boy.

"Happy Anniversary," he said with a blushing grin.

Didn't think we'd ever make it
This close to safety in one piece

Ryou himself was speechless but his face was ever grateful for the scene before him. The CEO had cooked a small meal [without burning it] (which, if you knew how Seto cooks, was a huge accomplishment for him.), lit by two candles on his kitchen table. So what if it was an overused romantic setting? The pale-haired boy showed his appreciation with a fervent kiss.

After dinner they found themselves in the entrance hallway, hands mapping out only too-familiar places. Ryou had let all his guards down, he was with the person he loved; no one ever has to know... Seto felt the difference as the boy's eyes had sharpened.

At first the forceful pressure was welcomed, he was always usually so soft; it was a very acceptable change of pace. The nibbles along his neck and chest caused him to space slightly. His breath quickened as his bite grew harder, almost to the point of...pain?

"Ryou..." Seto moaned, not sure if he wanted him to go on like this. He tossed his head back with the odd sensations.

The pain increased with each movement, the nails and teeth now drawing drops of blood on the taller boy's fair skin. This time it was out of worry,

"Ryou! Wh-what are you doing...?" he weakly asked, out of breath, feeling something cold being pressed on his chest.

As the pale boy looked up he realized the face was not of his lover's, it was cruel and twisted. The laugh was not a laugh at all, but an icy, heartless cackle.

Bakura leaned over staring straight into his helpless blue eyes, tracing the back of his free hand on his cheek, whispering just before he pulled the trigger,

"Bye bye, beautiful,"

A/N: Yeah that's depressing. Sorry! Gah I didn't just kill off someone, ::goes to mourn at his grave:: Anyway, I hoped you liked it! Please leave your comments!
