Alrighty, then, I decided to stop being mean to everybody and update. (( Nearly 4 months later, I know, but there will be plenty of time to kill me fater I've finished the fic. I hope. )) And due to the fact that my Shonen Jump subscription finally brought Ryou and Bakura into the story, I now have to fix the whole Ryou-don't-live-with-his-parents oversight...
Disclaimer: None of the characters in this fic belong to me, and no profit is being made in writing this story.
Yuugi sat heavily on his bed for a minute before he held the millenium ring before his eyes, enthralled by the thought that so much evil could come from it. He felt a burning stare from above him, and looked up to see Bakura glaring impatiently. A deep voice spoke from beside Yuugi, who turned to see the pharoah speaking.
"It would be ill-advised of you to threaten this boy. Especially if you want a favor from either of us."
Bakura said nothing, but sneered in response and vanished into the air again, soon followed by the pharoah. Yuugi placed the string of the Millenium Ring around his neck alongside his puzzle, then shifted back and crossed his legs on his bed, letting his head fall limp to his chest.

Yuugi looked around. The hallway that both seperated and connected Yuugi's mind and that of the Pharoah was quite similar to the one that stood between Ryou's soul room and Bakura's. The main difference was the color - The floor here was a pale turquise, while the walls were a musky brown color. Yuugi's room often stood on the left, the wall a stained wood pattern. The Pharoah's soul room was on the right, the door seeming to be metallic, with a large carving of the the millenium items' mark, an eye, mounted high on the door.
However, at this time, Yuugi's door stood at the end of the hallway, opposite where Yuugi stood, while the thief's soul room stood on the left, the pharoah's remaining on the right. The hallway, too, was filled with a thick, tense air. Yuugi stepped in between the two spirits' doors and, out of curiosity, stared at Bakura's shadowed door. He reached towards it to push it open, then jumped as the spirit of the pharoah spoke beside him.
"It won't do you any good to try. He's barred the door, he obviously likes his privacy. I don't think it would be a good idea to test his patience."
Yuugi looked up at his guardian spirit and nodded before turning back to the soul room of the pharoah, who had dissapeared once more. As he puched the door open, he saw Bakura sitting on a ledge high in the room, one leg hanging down above the heads of the thief's companions. The pharoah was standing near a wall not far from Yuugi.

Ryou stood in front of his apartment building and waved to his parents as they drove away. It would have been nice if they could have stayed for more than just the one night, especially considering the timing. He went back upstairs and into his apartment, but as he closed the door behind him, he simply stood in the middle of the silence. After several minutes, which seemed like at least half an hour, where Ryou could not think of anything to do to kill time, he retreated to his bedroom with a large yawn.

"I don't think it's a good idea," Bakura snarled at Yuugi and the pharoah.
The pharoah simply stared placidly back at Bakura. "Does that mean you have a better idea?"
"It won't work," Bakura said, still snarling, impatiently.
"You never will know until you try."
Bakura sneered, then seemed to be jumping as he dissapeared, moments later, laying on a beam high above the heads of Yuugi and the pharoah. "It'll sound like a filthy lie. I can't speak such thoughts without biting my tongue."
So, uh, yeah. I actually know how the next chapter's gonna end. More or less. I think I'll start working on it NOW...
