Back again HAHAHA well I have a lot to say this time. ONE I never said
there was anything wrong with Canada. I said it was evil, there is a
difference. Bakura is evil and I still think he is cool...so is Marik and
they are awesome! Anyway I am going be there in Toronto when Canada takes
over MUWAHAHAHAHA!!! *evil grin*
TWO I had an email asking me what everyone call each other on the Japanese show so here is my reply for anyone who has the same questions. No Yugi NEVER actually calls him Yami. And I mean never. NO ONE in the show calls him Yami. Yami is just what the American version named him (why? who knows) and what most authors call him. They do say that he is Yugi's dark half but they don't call him Yami. What do they call him? Well Yugi calls him "Mou hitori no boku" which means "My other self" or "The other me" Kaiba call him Yugi because he doesn't believe that Yami exists or that Yugi is two people (I think he is the only one who doesn't really believe at first but he eventually does). Just about everyone else calls him "Mou hitori no Yugi" Which means "The other Yugi." OR when Yugi is in the spirit room and Yami is in control they just call him Yugi (confusing ne?) And no Yami doesn't ever come out separate from Yugi while other people are around. He only comes out while Yugi is alone. And when he does come out around Yugi he isn't fully in the flesh, meaning he is like a ghost (see through, has no refection in water or a mirror, voice echo's, stuff like that) this is because he can't exist fully with out Yugi and the puzzle. Other wise he only takes over physically leaving Yugi in the spirit room. Okay now about Yugi. Yami only actually called him Yugi a few times and that was before Yugi really understood and knew that Yami was a real person (or spirit rather) living in the puzzle. Yami calls him "Aibou" (partner) or "Mou hitori no ore" which means the same as the one Yugi uses. Oh yeah and Yugi is never referred to as "hikari" in the show by Yami or anyone else either.
Now on to Ryou and Bakura. In the show his name is Bakura not Ryou. Ryou is his last name. We call him Ryou because it is easier to distinguish who we are talking about. And Bakura is just "the dark spirit from the ring" or something like that but I did hear Yami call him "the evil dark duelist" Bakura does say on the show when he first appears and I quote "Bakura? Ore wa Bakura janai." which means "Bakura? I am not Bakura." Since he really doesn't have a name. On the show Bakura calls Ryou "Yadounshi" which means "My host" or "my property" (loving isn't he?) Ryou also calls Bakura "Mou hitori no boku" Well thanks for the questions albctigz I hope this clears things up for everyone if not (or if I left something out) email me or post comments or question in your reviews and I will answer them asap ^_^

The dark one comes out
His violet eyes shot opened quickly. He sat up taking in breaths suddenly as he gripped the sheets that covered him. Pearls of sweat grew on his forehead and he started to shiver. It was sort of unusual since he really hadn't had any nightmares in a long time. He looked around the room quickly as the fear over powered him. Yugi shook him head. It had been nearly a year. There wasn't anything for him to worry about anymore, but the nightmares had come every night now for the past week. He reached up and wiped the sweat from his brow then laid back down trying to relax again.
"Aibou." Yami appeared. Yugi was quiet.
"Another one?" Yami asked. Yugi nodded.
"What did you see?" Yami asked
"All I remember is their faces." Yugi said as tears came to his eyes remembering the faces he saw that day. Yami sat next to Yugi quietly. Yugi tried to sort out his feeling. He couldn't understand. He had dealt with everything so well up until the nightmares started again.
"I open the door and see her...then I hold her...and he comes...but I never get to see what happens to him. He took her from me...and...I...I never got to say goodbye to her." Yugi said. Yugi's eyelids dropped as he held tears back.
"I'm sure you will meet her again someday." Yami said to reassure him. Yugi nodded.
"Try and get some more rest now." Yami said getting up from the bed to go over to the window. Yugi turned on his side and relaxed as much as he could. Yami stood at the window drifting off into thought.
***
Yugi slipped his book bag over his back and then left his room to go to school. He met Anzu, his friend from school, outside. Sugoroku stood outside sweeping the front door to the shop.
"I'm leaving now Jichan!" Yugi waved as he stepped out.
"See you after school Yugi." Sugoroku said looking up from his work and smiling. The two continued off to school.
When they got to school Yugi quickly went to his class to find Jonouchi. They used the spare time before class to get out a quick game of Duel Monsters.
***
Ryou stepped into his first class of the day. He was really nervous. There were kids all around that he didn't know. He started to seriously hope he wouldn't have an attack of his other consciousness. He really thought he wouldn't be able to handle that right now. He had moved to a new town and started high school in a new school. His father's job had relocated to Domino City and they moved right after Ryou started high school at his old town. Ryou showed his paper stating that he was a new student to the teacher. The teacher nodded then got ready to start class.
"Okay class time to start, but first I would like you to meet our new student. Ryou Bakura." The teacher said.
Ryou took his seat where the teacher had asked him to sit then he got ready to take notes. He couldn't focus on class very much. He noticed his ring had started to glow. Ryou frowned. This couldn't happen on the first day of his new school. He noticed it was also pointing at something. Ryou looked carefully over in that direction. Rather someone Ryou noticed a relatively small young man that the ring pointed to. He lowered his eye brows in confusion the he quickly tucked the ring into his shirt.
After class was over, Ryou began his walk to find his next class. It was hard to find since he had never been to this school before. He walked down the hall a bit lost and not paying attention then he bumped into someone.
"Gomen nasai!" Ryou said quickly.
"Its okay, my fault. Hey are you Ryou? You're new right?" The boy said. Ryou now seen who it was. The small kid who his ring had pointed at. Ryou now noticed the puzzle that hung from the kid's neck.
"Hai." Ryou said meekly
"Nice to meet you. My name is Mutou Yugi. Are you having trouble getting to class?" Yugi said
"Uhh Yeah." Ryou said smiling a little embarrassed.
"What's your next class?" Yugi asked
"History" Ryou said showing Yugi that paper.
"Common I'll take you there." Yugi said. Ryou followed him. Yugi showed him his class which Ryou had strayed away from.
"Arigatoo." Ryou said smiling at Yugi once again.
"Your welcome. If you need any help finding another class I'd be happy to help you." Yugi said smiling back at the sliver haired boy. Yugi walked off to get to his class. Ryou turned to his class room to go in now.
***
School was almost over for the day and Ryou would be glad to get out. Ryou walked out of the school to go home. He was starting to think he wouldn't hear anything from his other self until someone caught up with him.
"Ryou hey!" He heard from behind him. He turned to see Yugi and one of his friends approaching him.
"Yugi-kun!" Ryou waved.
"How was your fist day?" Yugi asked
"Okay I guess. I found all my classes." Ryou smiled. Suddenly Ryou found himself loosing control and Bakura began to take over.
/Onegai don't do this!/ Ryou pleaded.
//Shut up yadounshi!// Bakura snapped back then completely took control and shut off the mental connection that the two shared. He looked up evilly at Yugi. Yugi noticed the sudden change in Ryou right away.
"That's an interesting thing you have there." Bakura said crossing his arms and looking at the puzzle.
"Yes my grandfather gave it to me." Yugi said trying to ignore the rapid difference in his new friend. Bakura smirked.
"How very...wonderful." Bakura said eyeing the puzzle once again.
He moved his chocolate colored eyes to Yugi then to the boy next to him. Jonouchi shifted uneasily not knowing what to think. He looked down at his shorter friend looking for some type of reassurance but Yugi was to busy letting his eyes study this new personality Ryou was sending out.
"So, would you mind letting me take a look at it?" Bakura said. Yugi frowned.
"Well I...never take it off." Yugi explained.
"Sure..." Bakura sneered. "...but it looks just like mine doesn't it?" Bakura said pulling out the ring from his shirt. Yugi looked at it amazed that it really did look like his puzzle. Yugi looked back up at Ryou who was giving him an awful stair.
"Ryou you.." Yugi began.
"My name ISN'T Ryou." Bakura emphasized. Yugi was taken back by this.
"What the hell are you saying?" Jonouchi said frowning. Bakura shot an evil glare at him.
//He is right. That is someone else!// Yami jumped into Yugi thoughts.
"My name is Bakura." Bakura said, then the ring began to glow brightly.
Suddenly they were surrounded by darkness and Bakura was gone. Yugi looked around getting scared. Jonouchi was more then freaked out. Suddenly there was some sort of blast with knocked Yugi and Jonouchi down to the ground. Bakura reappeared with an evil smile. He stepped towards the fallen Yugi and extended out his hand to reach for the puzzle. Suddenly the puzzle flashed with light and there was movement. Bakura stepped back shielding his eyes. After the light had dissipated he looked back to see someone getting up. He knew right away it wasn't Yugi. Yami stood up slowly shifting his pools of amethyst eyes to Bakura.
"You are the dark spirit that was sealed inside the ring correct?" Yami said keeping an intense glare on this dark person. Bakura tilted his head back for a quick laugh.
"Maybe I am. You are the one who was sealed inside the puzzle are you not?" Bakura said.
"Maybe I am. What do you want with mou hitori no ore?" Yami said
"Absolutely nothing except the puzzle. I'm sort of a collector. I do believe they are the key to unlocking your memories." Bakura said.
"What do you know of my past?" Yami demanded
"Always so insistent my Pharaoh! Do you really want them back? Do you really need to know your past? There is more to why you are here then you think and I suggest that you figure out what your real purpose is before you go making friends." Bakura said arrogantly.
"What are you talking about!?" Yami chanted harshly.
"I'm just advising that you play your role correctly, and think long and hard about what you are really here for. Now I'm not your personal messenger I'm merely a tomb robber who is here not by choice but unwillingly. Neither of us can escape our fate. Mine however will be to exterminate you." Bakura said then he left leaving Ryou in his place and the darkness once again departed. Yami looked down at Ryou who sunk to his knees holding him self trying to grasp his sanity.
"You aren't in any danger." Yami said reassuring the sliver haired boy.
Ryou looked up to see who he thought was Yugi. He's chocolate colored eyes were soaked with fear. Ryou was very much confused. He new Yugi looked different then what was even more surprising was the fact that right before his eyes Yugi changed. Yami left leaving Yugi who looked at Ryou seeing that he was on the floor shaking a bit.
"Ryou! Dijoubu desu ka?!" Yugi said getting down to Ryou's eye level. Ryou nodded slowly. Yugi looked over to Jonouchi who was still on the ground.
"I was hoping...he wouldn't show." Ryou managed. Yugi looked at Ryou listening as he nearly started crying.
"The doctor said he wasn't real..but sometimes I feel I don't believe him." Ryou said shivering.
"Who?" Yugi said not really understanding.
"My other personality. They told me I have Multiple Personality Disorder." Ryou said. Jonouchi looked at Ryou.
//Very untrue. He is the same as you and me Aibou. The ring is just like the puzzle.// Yami interrupted explaining to Yugi what was going on.
"Ryou you do not have Multiple Personality Disorder. I know because the same thing is going on with me." Yugi said. Ryou looked up.
"Say what?" Jonouchi said confused.
"Really?" Ryou said.
"Lets go to the game shop and I'll explain it all to you both." Yugi said.
***
Yugi plopped on his bed as Ryou and Jonouchi sat down. He shifted his gaze to the puzzle trying to think where to begin.
"I got the puzzle when I was nearly seven. My Jichan got it from Egypt. It took me eight years to solve it but I did it. As soon as I got the last piece into place something amazing happened. He appeared." Yugi said. Jonouchi was completely perplexed. Ryou listened carefully.
"At first I thought I was seeing things. At the time I was..." Yugi stopped. Jonouchi understood why but Ryou was unaware.
"...beaten. All the time in fact. It was right after I snuck out of the house to meet Jonouchi at the arcade. I came home and my step father nearly killed me. Afterwards I put the puzzle together and that's when he appeared. He helped me when I was hurt, He protected me when I asked him to and he saved me from Riko. He said he was my yami." Yugi said trying to hold in his feelings.
"Yami? That's what Bakura says he is...my dark half." Ryou said a little surprised at the publication of Yugi's past home life.
"He is my dark half too." Yugi said.
"I don't get it. I haven't seen this Yami guy." Jonouchi said to Yugi.
"He only comes out when we are alone. I didn't think it would be smart to just have him pop out where ever but I guess since I told you about him it wouldn't hurt for him to come out." Yugi said. Jonouchi was starting to freak out a bit. Someone couldn't just appear out of no where could they?
"Well let's see him then." Jonouchi said still not believing it.
/Mou hitori no boku?/
//Yes Aibou?//
/Please come out and meet my friends./
//Are you sure Aibou?//
/Yes I told them about you already/
//Hai//
Jonouchi noticed Yugi looked as if he was spaced out again. Yugi was actually talking to Yami in his mental link. Yugi had often talked to Yami while Jonouchi was around and Jonouchi only figured he was day dreaming since he seemed so spaced out. Yami appeared quickly beside Yugi. Jonouchi nearly went into cardiac arrest. Ryou was amazed. He was also overjoyed that he wasn't the only one with a dark half. Jonouchi got up real close to Yami and poked him with his index finger.
"Wow you are real!" Jonouchi said. Yami only gave him a funny look.
"Mou hitori no boku this is Jonouchi, and this is Ryou." Yugi said. Ryou frowned a little though. He couldn't understand why Yami could be so calm and gentle and his yami was so mean to him.
"Doesn't talk much does he?" Jonouchi said sitting back down.
"What would you like me to say?" Yami said. Jonouchi sweat dropped and rubbed the back of his head laughing nervously.
"Well where did you come from and why are you here now?" Jonouchi said.
"I was sealed in the puzzle.." Yami trailed off. Why WAS he here. He didn't know. There had to be a reason. He started to wonder what his actual purpose was. "...and I don't know why I am here. I have no memories before I was sealed away." Yami said sadly
//So the pharaoh doesn't have any memories. How interesting.// Bakura sprung into Ryou's thoughts
/Do you have any memories of your past?/
//I know enough. That shouldn't matter to you kisama.// Ryou frowned
/I was just wondering. I don't know anything about you./
//LET'S KEEP IT THAT WAY!// Bakura snapped then he quickly shut off his mental link. Ryou looked at the ground.
"I have to get going." Ryou said. He waved to his friends then headed out the door.
To be continued...
