Chapter 4

Joey climbed out of the tunnel and embraced the sky, "We're out, fresh air at last!"

Yugi followed with Tea and agreed, "Alright!"

Bakura had sat down on a rock when the millennium ring suddenly activated. He hated having to play the fool he knew his host to be, "Huh? What's this?" he looked down at his ring in feigned puzzlement. The middle pointer was pointing upwards, "My millennium ring is pointing…"

Tea interjected, "there, to Pegasus' castle," as she pointed to the large castle at the top of a huge flight of steps.

Bakura started to make his way up the steps as he visited Ryou.

Ryou was still rocking back and forward in a fetal position on the floor of his soul room. But when he heard his Yami's footsteps he scrambled backwards. The little light was terrified.

Bakura laughed, "Oh don't worry precious, I wont claim you just yet. First I will break you. Do you remember the snow dear Ryou? Your poor mother does."

"Mummy, Amane, please…I'm sorry," whispered Ryou.

Bakura had heard the word Amane and was distinctly confused. He crouched down next to Ryou and asked, "Ryou who is Amane?"

Ryou shook his head.

"Ryou," Bakura said more forcefully, "would you like me to play with you a little more."

"Please," begged Ryou.

Bakura was getting annoyed; he grabbed Ryou's hair and forced the boy to look him in the eyes.

Ryou feared those eyes, they were so cold and he could see the insane pleasure in those eyes that his Yami got from making him suffer.

Bakura looked into Ryou's eyes and saw pure fear, and he liked it. He pushed Ryou backwards and climbed on top of him. Looking down at his lights slender form he grinned, "If I have to beat it out of you I will."

Ryou cringed and cried, "I don't know."

Bakura knew Ryou did know, but he didn't sense a lie in the words. Perhaps Ryou truly didn't know, that the memory of Amane was too terrible to bear.

He stood up and decided that he would continue the torture later. First he wanted to know who Amane was. Bakura started to rifle through Ryou's memories and found a distinct block where Amane was concerned.

It was almost as if she had been erased from Ryou's memories.

But Bakura had definitely heard Ryou speak her name…in connection with his mother. He had said he was sorry. Sorry for his mothers death and sorry for Amane. Perhaps she hadn't been the only one in the car that day.

Bakura went back into the memory of the car accident and searched for any discontinuities. He found one, after the car had crashed and Ryou seen his dead mother he had screamed. Ryou had been covered in blood but he was sitting in the back seat. His mother had blood pouring down her face as she looked back at her son but not nearly enough to account for the blood on Ryou. Bakura knew Ryou hadn't been physically injured so where had all the extra blood come from.

Bakura forced the memory to continue on. A mental scream issued from Ryou as he watched the extended scene play out.

Ryou had then turned to see a little white haired girl sitting next to him. She was younger than Ryou and Bakura supposed this must be Amane, his…little sister. The resemblance was too uncanny for them not to be related.

She had a large piece of glass sticking out of her chest and she was looking straight at her brother. Tears were pouring down her face as she begged, "Bro-ther…help m-me."

Ryou didn't know what to do; he was only a little boy.

"Taake it out…p-please."

Ryou complied; he grabbed hold of the glass and pulled as tight as he could. His skin punctured but he still managed to get it out.

She coughed up blood over him and smiled before her eyes glazed over.

Ryou screamed and tried to shake her to bring her back to life.

Finally he was pulled out of the car and was sitting on a stretcher getting his hands tended to when he heard the ambulance doctors speaking.

"The woman died immediately but the daughter was still alive, if the boy hadn't of pulled out the glass in her chest we might have been able to save her."

"It is so sad, if only…" they had then turned to see his eyes widened in horror and they realized their mistake.

Bakura watched as Ryou collapsed into a coma. One that he didn't wake up from for five weeks. When Ryou had awoken, his father wasn't there to meet him and Ryou had thought that his father blamed him for the death of his mother. Ryou had not remembered Amane either and his father avoided the subject later on when Ryou got out of the hospital. It had created a distance between them, one that Ryou's father had not meant to create. He had just wanted to see his son get better, not knowing that Ryou thought that when his father broke off conversations and avoided him that he was blaming him for his Mothers death.

Bakura felt the anguish and pain of his host through their link and knew that Ryou was broken.

Bakura laughed maniacally through their link as he returned to the outside world.

The brat had lagged behind with that annoying girl while Tristan yelled out something about proceeding ahead.

"You know since none of us are even supposed to be here, maybe we should wait for him."

Tristan agreed and Bakura smirked inwardly. Making these fools feels like the idiots they were was certainly pleasing and not even actually being in the presence of these mortals could dampen Bakura's spirits. He was just so happy with his progress with Ryou.

Bakura turned to watch and just caught the brat trip over and land on his face.

It galled Bakura that he failed to defeat such a wimp, but he reminded himself that it was the spirit of the millennium puzzle he hadn't been able to defeat and that only occurred because his host had betrayed him. Something, Bakura assured himself, would never happen again.

Finally the two of them met up with them on the steps and Bakura saw Kaiba standing at the tops of the steps.

Kaiba was challenging Yugi to a duel.

The two of them really were enemies. But Bakura sensed a different purpose other than rivalry to Kaiba's motives.

Joey the mutt then tried to challenge Kaiba to a duel himself.

Bakura had to hold the pathetic mortal back and remind him of his inferiority, "Don't forget when you battled him before he smarted you."

The little bitch had to act so superior, "Like you could do any better."

Bakura wanted to grab her neck and squeeze but he knew that acting like Ryou was the only way for him to get close to Yami so he put smiled sweetly like Ryou and laughed away the comment.

Kaiba definitely knows how to get on the mutts bad side and the petty bantering is quite entertaining.

'Oh great, this annoying heart of the cards crap. I am really sick and tired of that. The only power I need is my own.'

"Yugi you don't have to battle this creep," stated Bakura, 'cause he might actually beat you and then I will have missed my chance.

'So Yami has decided to duel, I can feel the spirit emerging. These pathetic mortals don't even notice the change but I can see perfectly.'

"Alright Kaiba I accept your duel, we'll see what you've really learned, you just name the place."

'Cant resist a challenge, that could work to my advantage. As long as Yami wins,' Bakura growled to himself.

"Our dueling field has been prepared, just follow me."

The two face up on top of the tower, on top of the annex tower."

'So five star chips up for grabs, and their using Kaiba's duel disk system.'

The two duelists prophesize the others defeat and Bakura watches to find out if he will have a chance to destroy Yami later and also if he can get into the castle to get Pegasus' millennium eye.

Kaiba goes first summoning Ryukishin, which appears in front of Kaiba. Yami then summoned Curse of Dragon, which also appeared on the field.

'So this Pegasus is the one they both want to defeat. A man who is holding all the cards. Too bad he doesn't expect me. For him that is.'

Yami destroys Kaiba's monster and the cheerleaders go wild. 'Fools, Kaiba isn't going to be defeated that easily.'

The battle continues with the two evenly matched. But Bakura still sensed that both Kaiba and Yami have a few tricks up their sleeves.
