Thanks for the reviews. Yet again I have another short chapter. I don't know what is wrong with me. I guess I am tryging to get this story to end soon, but it is so hard.

Chapter 20

A Dark Secret

Malik popped open his eyes after seeing his yami run into a closet like he was a scared rabbit. He covered his eyes with his hand as if embarrassed and took a deep breath as he knew that he must tell the others why his yami was like that. He just didn't know how the others would take the truth about his dark half. It was horrifying for Malik at first. He sat down on Bakura's bed, and the raider gave him an evil look.

"Get your big ass off of my bed, Malik." Yami Bakura scowled as he shoved the hikari onto the floor.

Malik was insulted and tried to punch Bakura who yawned and side stepped him causing the blonde hikari to fall into a pile of dirty laundry. He looked at him with complete hatred and muttered to himself. "Soon you will be gone for good. Then I will be happy again."

"Malik, are you okay?" Ryou asked as he shook his lover out of his thoughts. He helped Malik to sit in a chair and glared at his yami.

"My yami met with an unfortunate accident. He seems to be hypnotized or attracted to the light for a long time. However, the memories of my past had been driven into his mind. He hated lit candles because it brought back something from his past. It reminded him of fire and each time he sees a bright light he thinks of fire. I don't really know why he feels that way, but it haunts him. He gets really moody and angry, and he can evern get really violent. When he is in this state he should be left alone." Malik warned as he saw Yami Bakura scoff at the ridiculous nonsense he had just heard.

Yami Bakura rolls his eyes in annoyance and throws open the closet door and sees the lavender eyes starring back at him. It was pitch dark in the huge closet as he glares back at the other spirit with a hint of hatred present. "Get out of there. I don't want you to embarrass me."

"If you knew what was best for yourself, you will leave me the hell alone." Yami Malik snapped back and bite him on the wrist where he drew some blood when Yami Bakura tried to drag him out by his foot.

"Ouch, what is wrong with you?" Yami Bakura looked at his bleeding wrist as he yanked it back and was surprised that his lover would do this to him without warning of any sort.

Yami Malik had never bitten him there before. They usually would draw blood and play bite almost, but this was different. The pain was beginning to drive into Yami Bakura's nerves and wouldn't stop hurting.

"I hate the light. Remember before that I told you that I like dark? There is a reason for that. Since you want to pry into my business, then I will tell you the truth." Yami Malik closed the little light that was in the closet until it was again completely dark. "I only want you to hear this since it will affect you more."

Yami Bakura couldn't tell if his dark lover had done that on accident or was intentially doing it. His wrist began to bleed rapidly as he strained to not feel the effect and throbbing of the broken skin. He was also feeling weak and feeble. The only light that he could see was the mesmorizing of the Millenium Eye on Yami Malik's forehead glowing profusely that it began to warm the robber's body.

"I am not who you think I am. I was born of darkness and shadows. No one will know this, but you. That mark that you received will become invincible so you won't be able to tell anyone who I am." Yam Malik kisses the tomb robber on the lips more passionately and pulls him to lay his head on his chest.

Yami Malik looked away for a moment, but then continued his story. He could still hear the alarm sounding, and he tried to ignore it as he held Yami Bakura close to him. "When I was in the dark realm, I became possessed by a demon sorceror that was also a lost soul. He made me have the intentions of what a vampire desires and the will to kill. I had no choice, but to satisfy my desires. Malik doesn't even know anything except that I am afraid of bright light."

"Mariku, I don't understand. You have told me this dark stuff before and it makes no sense to me. Spit it out already. What is it that you are trying to tell me?" Yami Bakura was starting to get a little worked up as he tried to struggle out of Yami no Malik's arms.

Yami Malik looked at him with guilt and sorrow which then changed demonically as he smiled evily. He began to growl in a dark tone as he bared his fangs. "I wanted to kill all, but then you came along. My desire to kill had ended as I began to feel for you. At night I was a shadow that stalked mortals at night. I was going to make you into what I am."

Yami Bakura's eyes shot open as he once again tried to struggle away from his fiesty lover who held him closer to him. The words of finding out what Yami Malik was beginning to sink into his mind, which made him angry and scared at the same time. An instinct was telling him to get away but another was telling him to stay where he was. He began to feel annoyed with Yami Malik just picking off around the bush. He wanted an actual answer now.

"You aren't human, are you?" Yami Bakura decided to use the Millenium Ring again to open his lover's mind to see what he really was. Before he could do so, Yami Malik placed his hand on the ring and caused it to stop its glowing.

Yami Malik shook his head dejectly and held the robber closer to his chest as he was trying to fight back the tears that began to roll down his face. "There is no need for that. I may be darkness, but I am technically human and spirit like you, however, I am also a demon and half vampire. I can't change that. I know you wouldn't understand."

End of Chapter 20. Please review. Yami Bakura was finally figuring out Yami Malik's secret. Will he accept it or turn on him? The next chapter is when Ryou and Malik will find out. Until next time.
