Nyaa. "Ryou Bakura", somewhere around 15 years old, if I'm not mistaken. While most people reffer to Ryou and his spirit as Hikari and Yami, I preffer Ryou and Bakura. Oo` It can be confusing, sometimes, but I love both Ryou's first name and his surname. It may seem confusing, to those who are not fans, but Ryou Bakura is Ryou's full name, and alot of the characters call him Bakura. X3 I think. Kinda like most of 'em call Katsuya by "Jonouchi," as I usually do as well. (( That was a DTT ranting. ))

Disclaimer: None of the characters in this fic belong to me, and no profit is being made in writing this story.

Yuugi pulled the Puzzle's chain from his neck and hooked it onto the post of his bed. Yami Yuugi stood behind him, a look of concentration on his face. He seemed to be reasoning with himself as he began to speak. "The hieroglyphs... I would like to see them for myself. Perhaps he has answers."

Yuugi turned to the spirit. "Answers? To what?"

"Me, I suppose," Yami Yuugi replied simply. "To life in Ancient Egypt. Maybe to the Millenium Items."

Yuugi nodded. "Well, maybe we could arrange that."

"No," Yami shook his head. "The spirit of the ring does not want anybody to know what is written on his walls. He would not welcome us willingly into his mind." Yuugi just stared, wondering what the spirit of the puzzle meant, so Yami Yuugi explained himself. "The Bakura's spirit was not happy when you asked what his wall said," he spoke harshly, again reffering to Ryou by his surname.

"Then we'll need to find a way," Yuugi replied simply.

Ryou held his millenium ring fondly. He stared into the center of the eye, which decorated the simple triangle plate that spanned the center. He closed his eyes and pulled the ring close to him. When he opened his eyes again, they were somewhat duller than usual.

Ryou stepped through the simple and almost too familiar hallway towards Bakura's room. He tried to open the door, but he couldn't get any farther than turning the knob. Instinctually, Ryou knocked. After a few moments, he heard a scraping, then a large thud. Bakura opened the door just enough to see outside hesitantly from the inside of his soul room, then, upon seeing Ryou, swung the door open and walked back into a corner, sulking, before he sat with a slouch. Ryou began to walk in, but then stopped in the middle of the room, feeling uneasy at Bakura's reaction to his arrival. He turned to see a large wooden blockade sitting on the ground behind the door.

Ryou sat beside Bakura and again looked at his wall. After several minutesof silence, he spoke quietly. "Yami-chan?" Bakura simply looked at Ryou from the corner of his eyes, and Ryou allowed his curiosity to rule over his logic. "What does that say?" He pointed to a seperate area of the carvings.

Bakura looked up at the carvings again and read the nearest sentence that he was in the mood to share. "Emotion is nothing more than weakness."
