Kao 012: yay, I remembered what was supposed to happen in this chapter! Oh, by the way, the first chapter was a flashback containing flashbacks. Understand? Good. If you don't, then you seriously need help. To keep it simple, short n' sweet, and to the point, the first chapter was Bakura's flashback.

Bakura: kao still doesn't own yugioh. She just spent all of her money on some Xbox games, so now she currently has $0.00 in her wallet account. She can't afford yugioh at this rate

(Ryou's POV)

I wonder where Bakura is...Last time I saw him he went out drinking, but he usually returned home about two hours later. Now, it's been two days ever since he went drinking. The longest he's been gone from home is only about five hours. Maybe something happened to him? No, Bakura can take care of himself. Half of Domino City is afraid of him. Even the police is afraid of him.

Maybe something DID happen to him though, after all, he's been acting very differently. He actually changed. It's so...weird. Usually, if I did something wrong (meaning something that Bakura doesn't want me to do) he would beat me for it, but now, if I do something wrong (in the correct definition), then he would just forgive me and forget about it. It's been really weird, in fact, right before he left to go drinking....

**Flashback**

I walked home from school, limping slightly because of what the bullies did to me. I first went to the bathroom to try to wash off the blood and bandage my cuts. Why must the bullies always carry around pocketknives? They kind of remind me of Bakura, except that they were nicer than Bakura.

Some of the pain left my body letting me realize that I was hungry. Then I remembered that the same bullies that beat me up took my lunch too. I made a simple ham sandwich with hot sauce and carried it to my room. Thankfully, Bakura wasn't in there. I turned on the computer to download some stuff. Mostly music. Funny how music can relate to my life so much. That's why my favorite artist is Linkin Park. After I finished my sandwich I carried the plate back downstairs.

I noticed that Bakura was home. Why didn't I hear him come in? He was sitting down on the floor watching The Simpsons. I grabbed my backpack and took a seat on the white couch and started to do my homework. Soon, Bakura got up and left. I think he was headed for my room. Crap, I hope he doesn't delete what I was downloading....

After the tv show finished, I turned off the tv and went to go see if Bakira was still in my room. He was, but there was something was different about him. He seemed deep in his thoughts and he looked like he regretted something he did. It was sad, just sad. It actually made me feel guilty, even though that this was the guy that abused me for as long as I remembered. Even though I was afraid to ask about this, I asked anyways.

"Bakura?"

He looked up as if he just noticed that I was standing in the doorway. He stared at me for a split second and said, "What?"

"Bakura, are you okay? You look kind of.... I don't know, kind of... depressed..."

"What?"

"You look really sad..."

"huh?"

"You know, depressed, like you're extremely sad about something..." I sighed. "Never mind."

"....?????...."

I left Bakura and went into the living room. I think I sensed him going into the sennen ring. I put my unfinished homework into my backpack and started to get dinner ready. I grabbed a plate from the washing machine and began to eat. Why didn't I tell Bakura that dinner was ready? Bakura said if he ate while looking at my face, he'd lose his appetite and throw up. After I finished, I put my plate up and went upstairs to my room. I don't think Bakura was in there. Oh wait, he was inside the millennium ring.

zzzzzzzZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I woke up and was surprised to still be on my bed. Usually Bakura pushes me off so that he could sleep on it. Why was I on my bed if I already knew this? I was too tired for some unknown reason, so I just lost all my energy and fell into the soft warm blankets, and before I knew it, I was asleep, suffocating a little since my head was in the pillow, but I didn't really care.

Surprisingly, when I got out of bed and into the living room, I found Bakura sleeping on the couch. I didn't want to wake him up, being scared that he was going to yell at me. I slowly and carefully made my way across the room, until right before I reached the kitchen, I just had to trip. I let out a small "eep" thanks to my reflexes, and Bakura, being more alert than anyone else I know, woke up suddenly to my eep noise.

"Uh, sorry for waking you up Bakura" I said rather quietly.

"Wha? Oh. Oh it's ok"

"What?"

"It's ok"

Crap, is he going to beat me again? Surprisingly, Bakura went back to sleep. At least I think he's asleep. I made my way into the kitchen to get a fruit or something and quickly walked towards my room in case Bakura, who MIGHT be sleeping, decided to pounce on me for a surprise attack. Another surprise: he didn't.

I went back into my room and thought why he didn't even yell at me. It was so...strange, so, different. I took a bite out of the apple I got form the kitchen as I thought some more about what just happened. After I got tired of doing that (I'm starting to sound like Joey, aren't I?) I turned on the tv and started to watch Spongebob Squarepants. (what? I'm not the only one in high school that watches that show you know. Over half of the people I know watches that show)

I changed the channel after it finished to see Scooby-Doo. (that show is also very popular) I basically spent about four hours watching tv. Then I turned it off to download more stuff on the computer. Hmmmm...Bakura didn't delete anything from yesterday, that's a surprise. After I started to download some songs and movies, I left the computer and went into the living room. I found that Bakura was awake and watching tv. I then looked to something light brown, my backpack. Crap, I didn't finish Friday's homework assignment yet. Oh well, I'll do it tomorrow.

Bakura turned off the tv and got up. He picked up his car keys (even though he didn't have any license, the car he drove wasn't even his, he stole it, and he looked too young to be driving) and headed towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

He paused for a moment and said, "Drinking."

Drinking? Hm...no wonder he took the car, he always likes to run over pedestrians while he's drunk.

**End Flashback**

I suddenly remembered that right before Bakura said the word drinking that he stopped and thought for a second...Damn it! Where is he? He didn't go drinking after all, but where DID he go? I sighed mentally. MENTALLY! I tried to communicate with Bakura...Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr, he closed our mental link.

Oh well, I guess I'll have to ask Malik where our yamis are when I get to school. (Marik always goes to get drunk if Bakura is)

Kao 012: hey, guess what! I'm going to let reviewers decide what type of ending this is! In a review, vote for happy ending or tragic ending (in which one/both of them die)

Joey: didn't you say that n the previous chapter?

Kao 012: how should I know?

All except for Kao: ... _-_ (---- anime fall)

Kao 012: anyways, sorry for this chapter being short, but the first chapter was ten fruggin' pages long!

Joey: ....the poll for the story ending will end arounf I think the fifth chapter, so hurry up and review/vote!
