Ryou POV
"No!" I scream out as I open my eyes and sit up, wiping the sweat away from my forehead. I look around the room. How did I get here? I recognize it as my room back at the castle. The dream I just had comes rushing back at me.
I saw myself running after Bakura but I could never catch up to him. I kept seeing him covered in blood and he had the saddest look in his eyes.
I squeeze my eyes shut to block out the light that shines through the open window. Why did I have to come back here of all places? I am back in my cage. 'I'm sorry Bakura, the angel is caught again.' Tears fall down my cheeks and I curl my legs close to me.
I hear a knock at the door but I make no move to answer it. I don't really want to see anyone at the moment. But the knock is persistant.
"Go away!" I scream at the door and the knock stops. But instead of obeying me the person comes in. I turn my head to face the door and glare at it. Only for it to reveal my brother.
"What do you want?" I ask him coldly not looking at him anymore.
I sense him hesitate as he walks closer to the bed where I sat. I didn't want him to see how upset I was.
"I just want you to know it wasn't my fault, little brother! One of the guards that had come with me betrayed my trust. You have to understand Ryou, father did what he thought was best for you."
"What is best for me?!" I now glare back at my brother. "Killing innocent villagers?? Killing the person I love??" with my anger calming, tears fell freely again overwhelming me with loneliness and sadness. I didn't want to believe it.
I felt my brother's arms encircle me and I cried all the tears I had. "I'm so sorry, Ryou. I'm sorry." My brother said over and over again. I blocked him out and drowned my sorrow in the few memories I had of Bakura.
"Tell me what happened." I say softly.
"The guards told me that you fainted and they took you away from the thieves and brought you back here. I don't know the details, little brother, but you have been asleep for two days now. I was worried about you. Father even came to see you a couple of times." Yami murmurs almost to himself.
There was another knock on the door and a servant stuck his head in. "I'm sorry for the intrusion, Prince Yami! But your father is asking for you!" and the head disappears as fast as it appeared.
I hear my brother sigh and he gets up. As he reached the door he turns back to look at me. "Be strong, little brother." He told me with a small smile and was gone. I was alone again.

Still Ryou POV
I wander thru the corridors of the castle not really thinking about where I am heading. Everyone avoids me when I walk by. I don't blame them. I wouldn't want to talk to me right now either. Half of me was mourning the loss of Bakura, but the other half of me was angry and I took it out on anyone who talked to me.
It has been a day since I woke up. Nothing has changed. My lover is still gone. Never to return to me.
I stop and look up. I notice I am outside in the garden. This used to be my favorite place to play as a child. Now it brings me sadness. Everywhere I look I see him. It hurts so much.
I pull my light jacket closer to me. It was early in the morning and getting close to winter. I didn't want to think about the future anymore. Nothing mattered to me. The only person I ever loved is dead now. So why am I still here? I put my cold hands in the pockets of the jacket and in one of them I feel a piece of paper. I frown to myself. I don't remember putting that in there.
I pull it out and gasp in shock. It was mother's letter! I had forgotten all about it! I didn't want to read it then because there were too many people around. But now no one is around so I unfold it and start to read.
'Dear Ryou,
I don't know when this letter will find its way to you, but I hope you are doing well. I have to say I wasn't very surprised that Isis offered to give a letter to you. In fact, I knew she would be in my village so I bumped in to her on purpose.
By now I have this feeling that you have found the person meant for you. So I enclosed the other half of the two rings inside this letter for you. The one I gave you as a child was meant for the other. This one is yours. As long as you both wear them, you will always be as one.'
I stop reading the letter and look inside the envelope and sure enough there was a silver ring in side. I take it out carefully and put it on my finger where the other had been. It felt cold for an instant but as it glowed a crimson red it felt warm. I felt a faint pulse against my skin. I frown at the ring. Was the ring giving off this pulse? I continue on with the letter.
'You will notice when you put it on it will beat in time with your heart. Or rather it will beat with the pulse of your lover's heart. These are special rings, my son, they are meant for you and your soul mate. Never take them off. Both of you are meant for a much greater destiny.
Believe in your heart Ryou, and you both will always be together.
Your mother,
Aine'
I reread the letter. I don't get it at first, but as I read it again, it clicks. The pulse in the ring I feel. Its Bakura's heart beat! Does that mean he is alive? Why did the guards lie to me? I feel my heart beat faster as I came to this realization. Where could he be?
I fold the letter back up and go to look for my brother. Maybe he knows something!
