Bakura POV [finally]
I keep going over in my head what happened the last three days. I didn't know where I was except I was in a dungeon somewhere. Probably a castle. Could this be the kings? I snort to myself. Why do I find myself here? Didn't they intend to kill everyone?
I remember charging at the guards and I had killed a few before they brought me down. I still had the wounds to prove it. It hurt to move. I probably wouldn't last another day down here. It was cold and wet and with my injuries I was dieing.
My hands were chained against the wall above my head. I could feel a few broken ribs and my back hurt terribly. I never felt this bad before. Not even when I was a child. It was a new feeling for me and one I never wanted again.
I hear someone approaching and the jingling of keys. 'Someone is finally coming to visit me? How nice of them.' I thought dryly to myself.
"Are you awake now, thief?" a crude voice asks me. I answer with lifting my head up and glaring at him. I see that he has a whip in his hand. Probably going to torture me again until I pass out like yesterday. What fun. Could this day get any better?
I hardly feel the slashes as the whip hits me. My body is already numb from the coldness. I don't think the guard likes that I am not screaming at the pain. So he kicks me and I wince at that.
"Think you are tough now, thief?? I will show you pain!"
The guard continues for the next few hours and then stops. As I am about to pass out he grabs my hair to lift my head up.
"I only keep you alive down here for fun. Everyone thinks your dead." He smirks at me as I pass out into the darkness.

Ryou POV
I jog around the castle's corridors until I reach Yami's room. I pause a moment when I hear voices inside. I frown and lean closer to hear the voices better.
"Father! This is all your fault you know!" I hear my brother said very fiercely.
'Is he talking to father?!' I struggle to hear more.
"Please Yami! Don't you think I know that!" I hear father answer. I am shocked to actually hear fear in father's voice.
"Then why don't you go visit your other son and tell him! He lost the person he loves because of your stubbornness!" I pale when I hear that. Had my brother told father about Bakura?
"Father, please, you have to make amends with Ryou before something happens!" Yami pleds with the king.
"Could there be something worse to happen then what I already done?! I can't undo what I did, son, I wish I could! I don't want to see Ryou in pain! He is my son!"
My eyes widen in shock. Did father really say that just now? Did he really think of me as his son? Before I realize what I am doing I push open the door and the two men turn to look at me.
"Father, do you really mean it?" I ask him softly.
He hesitates before looking at my brother then back at me. "Mean what, Ryou?"
"That you consider me your son?"
"Of course you are! That is why I want what is best for you! I have made arrangements to send you away to another kingdom until this all blows over. Don't worry son, everything will be fine from now on!"
I almost can't believe my father's words. I stare at him for a long time. He had a smile on his face. How can he smile? he thinks everything will be okay? I feel my anger return full blown.
"How dare you, father! How dare you say everything will be fine! You don't know what your guards did to that village! They killed innocent people! They killed the one person I loved! How can you say you did what is best for me! I hate you, father!" with that I storm out the door and run.
I don't know where I am running to but I keep going. I feel drawn somewhere. I can feel it. I shiver as a cold wind blows by. I stop at the top of some stairs to catch my breath.
'Where is this? I don't remember stairs here.' I frown and walk down the steps. Fifty six steps to the bottom I count. I notice there are no torches down here so with what little elf magic I have I muster up a small light above my hand.
I look around and notice that it is a dungeon. It must be the old one because father built a newer one closer to the guard house. Why would I be drawn down here?
I start walking down the corridor when I hear chains rattle. I stop scared to death. Someone is down here? I tilt my head to hear which cell the sound is coming from. I walk slowly towards it and I peek around the corner.
I feel my ring pulse harder against my skin as I take a look at the prisoner. I almost gasp out loud when I see who it is.
"It can't be." I whisper to myself. The prisoner lifts his head and stares at me. I griped the bars on the cell so I wouldn't fall down. It was Bakura covered in blood like in my dream. How could this happen? The guards said they killed him. They never said they took a prisoner!
"Ryou?" came a hoarse reply. My heart almost leaped out of my chest at the sound. It didn't sound like my thief king at all.
"Oh gods, Bakura. The guards told me they killed you." I couldn't hold myself up anymore and my legs gave away. Tears formed in my eyes as I watch my blood covered demon.
"Although I feel dead." He answered with a small smile. "I am not a weakling like most people, little angel."
The door was locked so I couldn't get in to rescue him. Where are the keys? I look around in the darkness but I can't see a sparkle of keys anywhere.
"Who did this to you??" I ask but he shakes his head.
"It doesn't matter anymore. You can't save me."
My heart feels like it is being crushed as he said that. Why? Why can't I save him? Does he want to die? I try to reach out to him through the bars but I can't reach.
"If you die then I will go with you!" I say through the tears. I see him look at me sadly.
"No. You deserve to live, little angel. Please promise me you will."
"Never! I can not live without you!" I hear him sigh as he tries to change his sitting position.
The ring on my finger starts to glow and I notice that Bakura's ring glows as well. What is happening now?
