xIsisx: Whoohoo! This might be the last chapter, dodges random things thrown at her BUT never fear! I am going to write a new fanfic "Ask Bakura". Put your questions for Bakura in your review or email/msn me. See profile for email and msn contacts.
Disclaimer: You know the drill, xIsisx does not own any part of YGO but she wishes she owned Bakura and Ryou. By the way, the song featured in this chapter, "You", was written by xIsisx. You do not have permission to take the song under any circumstances.
Bakura: looks at disclaimer
Disclaimer: What? You got a problem?
Bakura: The bit about the "You do not have permission to take the song under any circumstances" is a bit harsh, don't you think?
Disclaimer: Fine! You do not have permission to take the song unless you ask xIsisx first and she gives you permission. There, happy?
Ryou: Yay! By the way, the song will be like this + song here + See if you can quess who sings which verse (me or Bakura). Hint, singer alternates every time and Bakura finishes it.

"Damn." Bakura growled, "How long are they gonna need?"
"I dunno… Probably like 15 minutes or so…"
"Hmm." Bakura sat down on the porch steps, one elbow on his knee and head resting on his hand, eyes looking at the stars.
Ryou sat down next to him, also looking at the stars.
"How many abnormally bright stars do you see?" Bakura asked softly.
"Hmm…" Ryou counted, "five."
Without taking his eyes off the stars, Bakura said, "They're probably the stars of your mother, father, sister, Marik, and…" Bakura didn't know who the last star belonged to.
"And you?" Ryou whispered softly after a moment.
Bakura gave his hikari a sharp glance, who was still looking above.
+ Mouth can't move/eyes tell it all
misting over/threatening to spill
Legs can't move/ threatening to fall
Heart of loneness/empty space/ nothing to fill +
"What do you mean, me? What did I ever do to make myself one of your stars?"
Ryou shrugged, "I don't know… just for being there I guess…"
+ Remembering the times/we've been through
Remembering how/I fought with you
Remembering all the things/ you said you'd do
Remembering how/ it was just us two +
Bakura looked back at the stars, "Now you mention it, I have one extra star too, it might be you."
"What? What did I do that meant so much to you?"
Bakura shrugged, a smile curving around his lips, "I don't know… just for being there I guess…"
+ Despite all my flaws/you stood by me
No matter how many times/I pushed you away
All the days/I hurt you endlessly
But you still said/everything'll be okay +
"But seriously, though, you were the first one to give me a smile since I arrived in this world…"
"Well.. Marik told me all about your past, I guess I felt for you… Since I've got all of my other friends and you've got none."
"I had none, but now I have you."
Ryou smiled and looked at the former tomb robber, whose eyes, for the first time in many years, did not bear the haunted look.
+ I know the pain you've taken/endured
Trying to cover up your wounds/ease your fear
Your eyes/your vision/were obscured
You've had it tough/but you never spilled/one salty tear +
"And your 'other friends', except for Marik and Malik, saw me as some insane psychopath trying to destroy them," Bakura chuckled, "Right?"
"Yeah, that's their thoughts in a nutshell."
+ Others saw me as disgraced/you saw me as me
I was full of bitterness/full of regrets
But you came to me/and you shone with inner beauty
Nothing scared you/not even/my empty threats +
"Have you ever hated me?"
Ryou was surprised, "Where did that come from?"
"Just one of my many questions floating around in my head."
"Well…" Ryou began slowly, "I wouldn't say that… I mean I disliked you at first… but after I got to know you, you were alright, really."
Bakura stayed silent, knowing Ryou had something else to say.
"I watched you use me to try to hurt the rest of the world, I didn't stop you because as they say, you need to vent out your anger first before you settled down. Well… you didn't 'settle down' so I had to show you that the rest of the world isn't so terrible as you thought it was."
+ I'll try to make you/learn to live again
The world's/not black'n white/not cold'n lonely
I'll try to free you/loosen up your chain
'Cause to me/you're the/one and only +
"Okay, now, I've got a question for you."
"Shoot."
"Did you mind sharing my body?"
Bakura laughed softly, "Nah, not really, but having my own is better."
"Why?"
"Because I can do this." With that, Bakura kissed Ryou.
+ I've never shown my appreciation/never said my thanks
Had too much pride/refused to swallow/was just not worthy
Instead I tried to amuse you/through my jokes and pranks
'Cause to me/you're the/one and only…+
Ryou was surprised at first but then he relaxed, closing his eyes and wrapped his arms around Bakura's neck. Bakura's lips were persistent, but gentle and compassionate.
"HA!" Yelled a voice, Ryou and Bakura instantly broke apart, "Caught you in the act!" Marik yelled! Waving a camera over his head.
"MARIK YOU BASTARD!" Bakura yelled, and ran tearing after him. Ryou just sat there in shock, but then smiled and got up and chased after Marik too.
Unknown to Ryou and Bakura, Marik wasn't the only one who saw the kiss. Everyone else saw it too.
"Yugi…" Yami whispered, "Tell me I didn't see what I just saw."
Yugi remained silent, imitating a very handsome goldfish and still staring at the spot where Bakura and Ryou were just a minute ago.
"Yugi?" Yami poked his hikari, "Yugi? YUGI!" Yami shook him.
Yugi seemed to snap out of it and looked up at Yami, "You called?"
Yami sweatdropped, "(-.-;) Nevermind…"
"Okay." Yugi put his goldfish face back on.

"Hey tomb robber, ready to start the duel?"
Bakura rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath, "Still the tomb robber…" And walked over to Yami but Ryou grabbed his arm.
"Don't duel with your hatred," Ryou whispered in his yami's ear, "duel because you like dueling!"
"Uhh… that's not my style."
"Well then change it!" Ryou gave Bakura a quick peck on the cheek, "Okay?"
Bakura gave Ryou a jokingly-glare, "Fine, but only because it's you."
After 3 duels, Bakura beat Yami 2 to 1.
"Hah! So there Pharaoh!" Bakura met Ryou's eyes. Ryou's eyes had a 'see-what-did-I-tell-you?' look in them.
"Ow ow ow." Marik muttered, rubbing his shoulder, "Bakura, next time take my damn camera but try not to take away my arm too!"
Bakura turned around, "Well, maybe next time you should keep your nose clean out of someone else's business."
Marik pouted, "You two never told me you wanted a private conversation!"
"Okay guys!" Tea announced, "Time to open your presents!"
Everyone except Bakura and Ryou dived under the RaMas tree.
"Pharaoh! Hands off of MY PRESENT or I'll send you to the Shadow Realm!"
"Malik! That present is mine! See, it says Y-A-M-I on the tag!"
"Well maybe you've forgotten but I'm a yami too!"
Yami and Malik kept arguing until Marik came over and looked at the present.
"Umm… actually that present is from Yugi to Yami."
"HAH! In your FACE Malik!"
Malik growled and sent a death glare to Yami.
"(-.-) You know today was kinda hectic, how about we celebrate in peace tomorrow?" Ryou asked Bakura.
"(-.-) Sure, I'm down with that."
And so, they both watched the war under the RaMas tree with a slightly interested expression. Making no moves to stop their living room from being destroyed. Each praying that tomorrow would come sooner.
