((Ryou's P.O.V))

Life sure has gotten better! I've got the whole bed to myself. Bakura's not bothering me anymore. Life is good.

I snuggled with my blanket and felt an empty presence. I somehow yet miss Bakura, but not enough to rid myself of this awesome bed and my good fortune! I smiled.

I yawned and fell asleep peacefully. I woke up to thunder and rain and commotion in the living room.

"Why are you both screaming?" I asked rubbing my eyes.

"I don't have to tell you why I'm screaming!" Bakura screamed at me.

"Don't scream at Ryou you like that! God if you love him so much why are you screaming at him!" Marik screamed at Bakura.

I just stood there.

"I don't love Ryou! That's so old Marik! Like your brain! Get a brain transplant!" Bakura screamed shoving Marik.

"You go get a clue!" Marik screamed at Bakura shoving him back.

"Get a brain!" Bakura screamed.

"Get a clue!" Marik screamed.

"Get a brain!" Bakura screamed again.

Marik started screaming and threw himself on Bakura.

"I can't tell you anything anymore you little street rat!" Bakura screamed at Marik sitting on top of him and pulling his hair.

"You were once a street rat too so shut up!" Marik screamed biting Bakura's leg.

"That has nothing to do with the current situation!" Bakura screamed twisting Marik's arm.

"Stop trying to sound smart because you're not!" Marik screamed pinning Bakura to the ground and biting his arm.

"Well at least I am smart! You dumbass dodo!" Bakura screamed giving Marik a wedgie.

"Don't touch me there!" Marik screamed twisting Bakura's nipple. "Ha! There's a titi twister for ya!"

Bakura rubbed his chest and charged Marik into the wall. He bashed his head against him and threw him on the floor.

"Fag." Bakura mumbled rubbing his head. "Move out of the way." He said to me.

I stayed in my spot and had him move around me. Marik got up with tears in his eyes.

"My skulls been cracked, I've been rammed into the wall, I have a thong on now and my mouth's got the taste of Bakura's flesh in it. Ugh this day couldn't possibly get any worse." Marik groaned.

"You told Ishizu too!" Bakura screamed from the hallway.

Marik ran over to me and hid behind me. "He won't hurt you!" He cried.

Bakura stopped in front of me.

"Move." He snarled.

I shook my head.

"If you think I won't hurt you you're very mistaken." He said angrily.

"Yea and you won't because you l-o-v-e-I-e him!" Marik said from behind me.

Bakura grabbed my arm and flung me to the floor revealing Marik.

"I…don't…love…Ryou!" He said slowly, yet angrily.

"Then if you don't why'd you—

He punched Marik's face and pushed him to the ground again. Marik started crying. How helpless.

Marik tripped Bakura making him fall on his face. He groaned and wiped some tears that were in his eyes from the hurt.

Marik jumped on him and pulled his hair and scratched his face.

This was pretty interesting. It's why I haven't stopped it yet.

Bakura couldn't get his arms free from under him giving Marik the advantage.

Marik lifted Bakura's shirt and scratched him from backbone to hipbone.

Hearing Bakura's screams of pain gave me this feeling inside. It was a bad one too. I would have stopped the fight…if I loved Bakura, but since I don't anymore…I have no need too. He deserves this to the fullest. I should join it.

Marik started biting Bakura.

"Ow! Ow! Ok Marik! Marik mercy." Bakura screamed.

Everyone stayed quiet. Like they wouldn't expect all tough Bakura to give in to Marik one of the weakest…erm…besides me people in the room.

"You win ok! You were hurting me really hard." Bakura said getting up in a pained manner.

"Yea! Don't mess with me!" Marik said triumphantly.

Bakura's back was bleeding badly and so was basically his whole body. With all the biting and the nails and scratching, why wouldn't he be bleeding? What's Marik got nails made of knives or something?

I caught a glimpse at his nails and they looked pretty short almost bitten. Who knew Marik bit his nails. Tension maybe?

Wait. Maybe it wasn't Marik. Maybe Bakura just has soft skin. I went to check on Bakura and opened the door only to find I had blood all over my hands from the knob. Ew.

I heard grunting and grumbling in the bathroom so I took a peek. Bakura took off his shirt to see the sharp wounds on his back.

"What have I gotten myself into this time? I got killed by Marik. To Marik. I'm so…pathetic."

He looks so depressed. He turned on the water in the tub and sat on the toilet. He pulled out his knife and opened it. What's he doing!

I flung the door opened averting his attention towards me.

"Were you spying on me?" He asked me.

"I uh…I…no! I didn't know you were in here. What are you doing with that knife?" I asked him.

"I'm emptying my pockets so I can stick this in a bag." He said.

"You mean you weren't going to mutilate yourself?"

He looked at me strangely.

"Why would you care if I did? Not that I would anyway…that's for the weak." He said in a depressed tone of voice.

He looks so sad. I've never seen Bakura this sad before. I've never even seen him sad! Is he upset with what I said? But why would he be upset? Unless…what everyone is saying is…true.

I remembered how I treated him badly and screamed at him. How he threw me lighter than ever on the floor. How he reacted when I told him he didn't make me happy anymore. How he did nothing when I kicked him off the bed.

But I don't like him anymore. Why would he like me? Nah, he doesn't like me. I'm just dreaming that. Maybe he's not depressed. Maybe I'm just seeing stuff. We've got two days left here on this beach I' not going to let Bakura's depression or whatever problem he has ruin my last day.

I stood there thinking all of this while he stared at me.

"I…want to bathe this blood is getting dry and it feels gross." Bakura said.

I walked out and back into the kitchen where Yami Marik and Ishizu were treating Marik's injuries.

Just give him a piña colada and he's living large.

"You ok Marik?" I asked him.

"Yea Bakura didn't really hurt me so hard as I thought he would. He was holding back I know it and thank Ra!" Marik said flinching from when they sprayed antiseptic on his wound to clean it.

"What's wrong with Bakura?" I decided to ask.

Everyone stayed quiet.

"Well?" I urged on.

"Are you blind man! He's crazy about you!" Marik said.

"Bakura crazy about me?" I laughed. "No."

"Sure man! He told me himself." Marik said.

"And me." Yami Marik said.

I stayed quiet.

"Shocker I know! You must have convinced him or something. But…why didn't you do anything?" Marik asked.

"Because I…I don't like Bakura anymore." I said.

They stayed quiet.

"Wow. Poor Bakura." Ishizu said.

"Whatever." I said sitting on the couch.

"Ooh look at Ryou all laid out and feeling cool now that the foot's in the other shoe."

"You know Ryou, Bakura always thought about you even when he didn't like you. If you were ok, how you were feeling, if you were enjoying yourself." Marik said putting his hands in his pockets.

"No he didn't." I said.

"What do you think he did when he sat under the palm tree pick his nose? Well…I don't really know that." Marik said.

I chuckled.

"Wow your first smile in something months. You really don't like Bakura." Marik said.

"Yep!" I said relaxed.

"You don't even like him a little?" Marik asked.

"No."

"A teeny weeny bit?"

"No."

"How about a teensy weensy bit?"

"Well…maybe just a little." I blushed.

"Whew! I thought you weren't normal for a little while." He said sighing.

I heard something from the bathroom and decided to check on Bakura.

"Where you going?" Marik asked.

"I feel like reading. I'm going to go read." I lied.

"Sure nerd." Marik said smiling at me. "I don't mean that Ryou."

I stayed quiet turning my back.

"Answer me! I didn't mean that! Do you hate me? I'm sorry! Really I am!"

I peeked in the bathroom again and saw it was all steamed. I walked in and noticed Bakura's knife with blood on it. When he took it from his pocket it was clean. Is he cutting himself!

I didn't hear anything. Not even breathing. I ((out of nervousness)) opened the curtains and saw Bakura with his eyes closed in a bubble bath.

His eyes opened quickly and shot up screaming "Oh shit!"

I widened my eyes and ran out in embarrassment.

"And you stay out!" Bakura screamed.

"Whoa." I said in shock.

"What happened?" Everyone asked coming in the room.

I was still in shock.

"You went in on Bakura didn't you? Reading a book huh?" Marik asked smirking.

"I was worried! He was making noises." I blushed furiously.

"Worried?" Joey said.

"Wow Joey talks." Marik said.

"Just…just go. I'm going to read now." Ryou said.

"Yea read." Yami Yugi said.

"Shut up!" I screamed blushing.

"Well…I have this urge to ask. I dunno about you guys but…whatever. So did you see anything?" Marik asked smiling.

I blushed so much.

Everyone stared laughing.

"Haha! Ryou's lost his virginity!" Marik laughed.

Everyone stopped laughing abruptly.

"Did I use it right?" Marik asked following everyone behind them.

I picked up my book and started reading. I didn't understand anything I was reading. How can I read when I just saw my Yami in the shower!

The bathroom door opened and Bakura came out in his towel. His back was still bleeding and so was his face. He had two newly acquired cuts on his arms. He got his clothes and changed in the bathroom.

He came back and laid out on the bed looking up at the ceiling. This awkward silence was killing me. I saw the covers getting drenched in blood and took them out from beneath him.

"Bakura?" I said trying to break the silence.

"What?" He replied.

"I'm…sorry I walked in on you in the shower. I thought something happened to you." I blushed.

"Save it. I've lost all my dignity." He said turning away from me.

"Bakura, I'm sorry!"

"You think sorry can help any situation! You saw my bong in the shower! How can sorry fix that!" He screamed at me blushing.

"It was an accident." I blushed more.

"Everything's an accident with you." He said angrily.

"Sorry." I sighed.

He folded his arms making the cuts on his hands more visible.

I grabbed his hand.

"Don't touch my hand." He said angrily.

"Are you cutting yourself? These are new cuts?" I asked him.

"No I'm not cutting myself! Get off my back." He said angrily.

"Stop being so angry. I'm talking to you." I said calmly.

"Just…leave me alone." He said.

I grabbed both his hands and looked at them. He flinched.

"These are new. I'm sure of it! You flinched because they hurt a lot!" I said firmly.

"So…so what? You don't care anyway. You don't like me anymore." Bakura said sadly.

"So what? Just as you were concerned about me even when you hated me, I'm concerned about you."

"Just out of curiosity…why did you stop liking me?" Bakura asked blushing.

"I knew you weren't ever gonna like me so…I just stopped all of the sudden." I said.

"Well, what if I liked you?" Bakura asked.

"Then…" I blushed. "We'd do a lot more kissing."

"Oh." He said sadly.

"But you don't like me so you don't ever have to worry about that. There are plenty of other people who would want to kiss your deliciously juicy lips." I smiled.

He stared at me.

"Um…" I said embarrassed.

"I'm gonna think for a while. Leave me alone for awhile." Bakura said turning away from me.

Why is he so depressed? And I know he's self-mutilating himself. He's not confessing though. I have to catch him in the act.
