Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-gi-oh….. I'm dealing with it so should you.

Bakurasveela: I'm so sorry it's been forever since I've update, with me getting good grades and finding the most awesome boy in school …. So give me a break. Enjoy!

"Yugi! Yugi!" Yami shouted as he ran to his companion. Yugi turned and a smile spread across his face. "Yami" he said with joy, "what are you doing here?"

"Can't I drop by and say hello to my little abiou" he laughed.

"Um… so do you want come in?" Yugi asked innocently.

Yami laughed "sure…" Yugi lead yami to his front door and began to rummage through his bag for his keys. Yami couldn't help but giggle at his lights struggle. But as he did so something caught his eye.

It was a dark figure that looked a lot like their friend Joey. "Yugi…go on inside ... I'll be right there" yami said in a distant tone. "Yami? Promise you'll be careful." Yugi whispered. "Don't worry Yugi. Every thing will be alright I'm just going to check on something. So don't worry your little head about it." Yami said with a warm smile.

Yami left Yugi and walked into the alley. I could have sworn I saw Joey heading in this direction. Yami walked deeper into the alley and saw an opening that lead to a ware house. Yami squinted to see Joey enter the ware house. "Joey! Hey Joey!" Yami yelled.

Joey turned but still went inside. Something's not right…... Yami sprinted toward the ware house but stopped dead in his tracks as a mass of negative energy hit him. Yami tried to catch his breath. Joey are you responsible for this?. Yami gathered himself and walked to the door. He slowly opened the door.

"Joey….c'Mon Joey where are you?" yami stated calmly.

"Yami is dat you? Please help …. Hurry" said what sounded like Joey, except the fact that his voice sounded distorted in some way.

"Joey where are you! Joey keep talking, I'll find you!" yami screamed. Damn I can hardly see… Joey what have you done? Yami struggled to see, for only light available was the light of the full moon.

Yami practically ran through the cluttered ware house. He almost reached what seemed to be his friend huddled in the far left corner but tripped over a group of chains that were scattered on the floor. "Joey…. What's wrong?" yami cooed as he outstretched his hand. Right at the moment the lights of the ware house flashed on.

Yami clenched his eyes shut because of the sudden change in lighting. When yami opened his eyes he found Joey no where to be found. Joey!.Yami stood up and his eyes darted from each raptor of the house.

"Who are you! Show yourself"yami yelled

"Ow … no need to yell I'm right here…" Ryou groaned. Yami turned his head directly upward to see Ryou.

"What's going on! Where's Joey!" yami screamed. "Where's joey?"Ryou mocked "your not pharaoh anymore. You can't control me or anyone else." Ryou then perched himself and then jumped off the raptor. "No Ryou!" yami screamed.

Ryou to yami's astonishment landed on his feet and turned on his heel. He walked eerily slow towards yami. "What? Don't look at me like that." Ryou cooed as his eyes flashed that deadly luminous blue.

"You're not Ryou. You're not even human. Answer me you monster what did you do to Joey! Yami screamed as he began to walk towards Ryou but was stopped by the chain wrapped around his ankle. "Aw has our little pharaoh gotten stuck" Ryou taunted. Yami began to pull at the chains that were wrapped around his ankle. "Now pharaoh be patient ….. I'll tell you where he is ….. Actually I have a better Idea I'll send you to him" Ryou chuckled.

Ryou approached Yami and grabbed a handful of his spiky hair. Ryou dragged him till he reached the steel stairs that led to the high raptors of the warehouse. "Ryou! Let me go! Calm down Ryou we can discuss this! Whatever is bothering tell me maybe I can help you!" yami pleaded in between grunts.

Ryou let go his hair and yami's head hit the hard concrete floor. Ryou walked to yami's feet and squatted so he was at yami's eye level.

"Of all people you think you can help me….?" Ryou said with a snarl.

He got a firm grip on the chains ensnared around Yami's ankle. Ryou then dragged yami by his chain up the steel steps. Ryou heard a few pain filled yelps as he sprinted up the stairs.

Once Ryou reached the top of the stairs he looked down at the former pharaoh .his eyes were half closed and blood began to make its way down his forehead. Ryou slapped yami with the back of his hand. Yami's eye's shot open but he still looked dazed.

"Now my king we can't have you dying so easily……. I have far more pleasurable death planned for you..." Ryou whispered as his eyes turned luminous blue.

"Ryou you're not being rational…… of all people why me?"

"Oh don't worry" Ryou chuckled" you're not alone….. let's see first I got that little annoying cheerleader…. Then the mutt's little sister and then I went for the mutt…… that friend of yours I must say put up the biggest fight…."

"Joey's dead…"

"Bingo" Ryou said with a smile" and soon you will be too"

Ryou dragged yami's body as he looked around pondering all the ways he could kill the former king. Perfect…..).

"Yami you want to know why I hate you?"

"Will my answer change the outcome of this little encounter..."

"No"

"Then why bother?"

"I'll tell you why because I don't think a person like you likes putting spiky haired midgets through hours of torture… although I might just let him accompany me on the rest of my little …. Excursions "

"He hasn't done anything! Ryou show some compassion …. Please leave him alone" Yami demanded.

"Ha! Compassion…. Did you show compassion when you banished my other half all those years ago… did you show compassion when he begged you to spare his life! Well! Did you…." Ryou said enraged by his memories.

"He was a murder… he didn't deserve to live…"

"Are you god ... huh? Are you! Who are you to say who lives and who … dies" Ryou screamed as his eyes turned gentle brown.

"Ryou … Bakura can't control you anymore… it's over you don't have to do this..." Yami cooed.

"….. That's where you're wrong "Ryou's eyes turned as black as night "I want to do this".

Ryou grabbed Yami by his throat and dangled him over the railing. Yami gasped and clawed at Ryou's hands. Ryou pulled the dangling chain from Yami's ankle and wrapped the chain around his throat. All that kept yami from plummeting to his death was Ryou's left hand firmly wrapped around his neck.

"R-Ryou please…." He gasped.

"Bye-bye" Ryou said in a sing song voice.

Ryou dropped yami, firmly grasping the other end of the chain. Yami fell screaming as he did so. Yami reached the end of the chain and began to dangle raking his nails against his throat trying desperately trying to release himself.

Ryou sighed as the chain began to shake and jingle.

"Dammnit why won't you die!" said Ryou as he gave the chain a big upward yank. Then the chain went limp as if there were nothing other side.

Ryou looked over the railing to see yami's headless corpse below and yami's head lay across the floor in a pool of its own blood.

"Wow … memo to self the human neck is far more fragile then I imagined." Said Ryou as he began to head down the stairs.

Once Ryou reached the floor he went and grabbed yami's head by his spiky hair. He left the warehouse and the rest of yami's body in there; he got back on to the main street so he was right in front of yugi's home.

"And now the real fun starts..." said Ryou as he threw yami's dismembered head through yugi's bedroom window.
