KawaiFox: Hey there! Just like to say that I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh except for my original character and that this fic contains shounen-ai, so if you don't like reading those type of things do not read this fic!

The Confession

Yami no Bakura sighed as he slowly felt himself get weaker with each passing minute, today being his last day on earth. He silently swore to the Gods of Ra and to himself for ever allowing to fall victim to this curse. What was the point of living for a period of time when you were just going to be locked up again in the Millennium Ring for another five thousand years? Bakura glanced over at Ryou who sat by his side of the bed, a few tears streaming down the boy's face.

Bakura's heart ached at the sight of him. How he hated to see him cry but what could he do? He longed to kiss him, but...knew it was wrong. Besides, Ryou would probably never return his love for him; not after for all the years of abuse he had put him through. As the clock ticked in the silence, Bakura decided it was time to go but not before saying goodbye to his secret crush.

"Good bye, Ryou..." Bakura whispered as he closed his eyes for what would be the final time."Wait!" Ryou called out. Bakura opened his eyes again and looked at his aibou curiously. More tears ran down his face, a soft pink blush coloring his cheeks. "Before you go, I have to know something. Earlier on...you said you liked me, even loved me. Was it all...just an act?". Bakura's eyes widened in surprise but he smiled a genuine smile.

"It's real. I've always liked...you" Bakura sighed, looking away. Ryou gasped in shock. "But the way we like each other are...completly different. You are my most favorite person to be around. When ever I'm with you, I feel...so happy and secure. You are like the sun. Without your shining smile I'm nothing." The yami paused for a moment, still looking away. "But I shouldn't have told you this, that's why I've kept my feelings to myself". Silence passed between the two, neither one making a sound.

And Ryou smiled. "Same here...Bakura". Yami no Bakura was surprised once again by what he heard, looking up at his light. "I like you too". Bakura felt tears well up in his eyes but he knew Ryou wasn't meaning it the way he had hoped. "Thanks but...you're only saying that to be kind". "It's true" Ryou replied, gently grabbing his yami's hand and put it over his heart. Bakura blushed and gasped at the feel of his light's heart thudding in his chest.

"My heart is beating really fast right? It's just like that time with Souma. Nah, it's actually beating faster than that. Now I understand why I cried when Souma kissed me. Because it's the same type of "like". Because the way I like you is the same way as you do. That's why I felt sad...".Ryou bent down and kissed his yami tenderly. "I love you Bakura". As the clock struck midnight, Bakura smiled one last time as a white light surrounded him. "I love you too Ryou. I always will. Never forget me" the yami whispered, his body and soul evaporating back into the millennium ring where it soon rusted and crumbled into dust. Ryou cried himself tp sleep that night but knew he would never forget his dark half, the one who forever stole his heart.

END.
