A/N: Thanks so much to .......... for the enthusiasm for my story. I love getting reviews. huggles reviewers But........I was told that this story is rushed horribly fast. My answer to that is not really. This isn't love ppl! It's a crush and from experience it only takes about an hour to get a crush on someone. rolls eyes Also, I was told that Sabrina seems like a Mary Sue (you know who you are) and that I need to work on her character development. My response to that is It's ONLY the third chapter. Sabrina seems sueish because she's perky, but believe me....she gets mellowed out after a close encounter of the bad kind with Bakura. One more thing. I'm well aware that my grammer SUCKS. Bear with me. Grammer isn't my strong point, creativity is. Keep reading and be patient with me. I guarantee this story is worth it. bows Arigato. NOW! On to Chapter 3!
On the way to her house, Ryou was quieter than usual. Worry and a hint of anger was written on his face. Sabrina thought it was her fault. "You don't have to walk me home. If you're worried about missing your dad you can just go. I don't want you to be mad at me." Ryou looked up at her in surprise. "You're not very good at hiding what you're feeling," she told him, looking away with a blush.
Ryou saw the pink on her cheeks. "I'm not mad at you," he said. "I'm just really worried about.....something."
Sabrina met his gaze. "Do you want to tell me about it? Maybe I could help." Ryou bit his lip and turned away, shaking his head. How could he tell her that the only way she could help would be to never see him again? "I understand," she said and didn't question his reasons why.
Moments later, they stood on the sidewalk outside her home. "Well, this is my stop," she said. "Thanks for walking me hme, Ryou."
He smiled. "Anytime." Then he turned with a wave, and started to walk off. "See you at school tomorrow," he called and ontinued on his way.
"What do you think you're doing, Ryou?" Bakura suddenly said in his mind, "I told you to stay with that girl." Ryou ignored Bakura and continued walking away without breaking stride. (A/N: Go! Go! Ryou! Get your ass outta there!) "Fine," Bakura said and Ryou felt him start to take control.
'NO!' Ryou thought to Bakura and used all of his will power to hold Bakura where he was. 'Not this time, Bakura! I won't let you hurt her!'
"Ryou!" Bakura shouted, "Let me out!"
Ryou fought harder and had to stop walking so that he could focus more easily. 'NO!'
"Let me out NOW!" Bakura roared.
'No! I won't let you hurt Sabrina!'
Bakura stopped fighting to get out. "So that's her name, is it?" Terror shot through Ryou. He had just given Bakura the knowledge he needed. He, himself, had been so focused on keeping Bakura locked away that he had forgotten not to say her name. Inside Ryou's mind, Bakura began to chuckle. "Looks as if your plans to keep me in the dark just backfired. Now, let me out." (A/N: Notice Bakura's choice of words?)
'No.'
"There'll be hell to pay if you don't!" Bakura was abgry again, and Ryou knew that his yami never bluffed. He started to shake in fear as thoughts of what Bakura would do to him started to filter through.
"Hey, Ryou!" Sabrina suddenly called called from her front steps. "What are you doing Saturday?"
He didn't turn to her for fear that she would see the struggle that was going on inside him. Trying to keep his voice steady, he answered. "Nothing. Why?"
"Well...I was just wondering...would you like to go see a movie with me?"
Shock hit Ryou like a slap to the face. Sabrina had just asked him on a date. His concentration slipped and Bakura seized his chance. He threw every ounce of his power into taking control. Ryou felt the power surge and realized what Bakura was doing. He tried to concentrate again, but it was too late. In less than a second, he was thrown into Bakura's soul room and Bakura was on the outside--in control of his body.
Bakura smiled in victory when he took full control and turned to see Sabrina standing on her front step. She was watching himnervously and his smile turned evil. He had heard what she had asked his host. Impersonating Ryou, he answered. "Yes, I would love to take you to the movie, Sabrina." He said the last word in his normal voice, but Sabrina didn't notice. She was too caught up in her happiness. He had actually siad 'yes'.
She smiled wide. "Pick me up at eight?"
"Of course." Bakura answereed.
"Okay. Bye!" Sabrina waved and ran inside leaving Bakuraon the street.
"See you Saturday." he said darkly, then proceded to head home.
