Thanks to everyone who reviewed.

Ryou's P.O.V.

My mind was enshrouded in darkness. I felt so alone. It seemed like I was floating in a vast void. It terrified me and yet comforted me. 'Is this what death feels like?' All of a sudden, I felt something warm against my lips. 'Wait…I'm not supposed to feel anything… but it feels so good.' It felt like in my dream when my yami would kiss me oh so gently on the lips.

The feeling left me as suddenly as it came. I felt hungry for more. I imagined my yami was kissing me, like he did in my fantasies. As if knowing my want, the feeling I craved came back.

'Bakura…' I wished Bakura were really kissing me. I wished he would return my feelings. But, no, that was not possible. I didn't deserve him. He was far to good for me.

My stomach churned at the thought. I knew he could never love a weakling like me. He wouldn't even look at me with anything remotely close to affection. I felt like crying, but my body wouldn't respond.

I felt something similar like a lick on my bottom lip. I let a soft mewl escape my lips. Something warm resembling a tongue slipped into my mouth. My senses were over loaded with ecstasy. It tasted so marvelous, like exotic spices. I always imagined Bakura would taste like spices. I have no idea why. The tongue, at least I wished it were Bakura's tongue, left my mouth. I whimpered in audibly at the loss.

"Ryou…Please, why did you cut yourself? It would kill me if anything happened to you…Ryou…I love you, too…" It was Bakura's voice. I prayed that I wasn't imagining things. It took me a few minutes, but I finally succeeded in opening my eyes. My vision was slightly hazy, but I could make out a white figure.

"Y-yami…?" My eyes focused. I gasped in shock. Standing inches away from my face was Bakura. I felt my heart flutter. Was he kissing me? I prayed to god that it was true. And, that this was really happening.

"Ryou…Why? Why did you cut yourself?"

"Y-yami, I-I I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I had no right to say that. You deserve someone so much better than me…" I felt tears well in my eyes. His hand came up to wipe away my tears. I watched his every move as he inhaled deeply.

"Ryou, I should be the one saying sorry… Ryou, I—" His voice faltered. "I…" I tried to sit up and hissed in pain. I was still very weak from loss of blood. He gently pushed me back down on the bed…his bed… 'How did I get into his room? He must have carried me.'

"Bakura-san…?"

"Damn it, Ryou! Why do you love me! I-I've caused you so much pain over the years! Yet, you still accept me into your home! Why! Why would an angel like you love a lowly demon like me!"

"Bakura…I-I don't know…I just know that ever since the day that you first came to me I had a crush on you…A-and, soon I realized that I was hopelessly in love with you. I've dreamt about you for three years now… My love for you is that strong. I-if I could have one this for Christmas this year, it would be that you could return my love…" With that last sentence he kissed me. I could taste the same spice in his mouth as the tongue that was in my mouth minutes before. 'So, it was he who was kissing me…' I sighed and let him deepen the kiss. Needing air we broke apart, gasping for breath. I was overjoyed.

"Ryou, I love you… Ever since I met you. I-I was jealous because your friends were so close to you. I-I didn't want them to have you. I wanted you… I-I gues that is why I hurt you… Can you ever forgive me?" My yami closed his eyes and looked like he was going to cry soon. I put my hand on his cheek and stroked the flesh gently. He stared at me in surprise.

"Yami… I already forgave you… a long time ago."

Db: There will be another chapter. I hope you like this one. Bakura was once again...OOC. I'm sorry this wasn't up sooner. One of my muses' brother, Aries, god of war, is getting married to Z Star The Hidden Dragon's character, Jade. I made theoutfits!
