I know its short, but the next chapter is worth it. Trust me.
Ryou was all smiles as he entered his apartment that night. He had spent his time since school at Sabrina's. Her parents had come home about half an hour ago. From what he had seen they were a lot like his dad: always at the office or on business trips. Although, the obvious difference was that they actually came home to their daughter. Ryou's father never came home to Ryou because Ryou lived alone. No one shared his apartment except Bakura. Ryou drove that thought from his mind. He wasn't alone anymore. He had Sabrina and Yugi, Felix, Tea', and even Joey and Tristan. Besides, Sabrina's parents had been elated at the fact that Sabrina had a "boyfriend". That particular thought was his favorite. He had turned redder than she had. He entered his bedroom and froze. The full-length mirror on the opposite wall reflected an image that wasn't his back at him. He could tell by the look on Bakura's face that he was NOT happy.
Bakura glared at his host from the mirro and crossed his arms. "Get in here and shut the door." he ordered. Ryou obeyed with only a moment's hesitation. Bakura remained where he was until Ryou stood arms length from the mirro. "I heard what Sabrina said to you today." Ryou's eyes widened with his shock. "I sincerely hope that you learned your lesson about disobeying me." Okay, now Ryou was confused. Weren't they just talking about Sabrina? "I see you're confused, yadounoshi. Allow me to explain." He uncrossed his arms and lowered them to his sides. "I don't know what that girl did or who that voice was in my head last time, but, I assure you, it won't happen again."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that I'm going to handle the problem right now."
"Handle the problem?"
"Yes. I'm going to remove Sabrina from the picture," Ryou gasped, "and, to make sure you never disobey me again, I'm going to let you watch." With that the Millenium Ring glowed bright and Ryou was ripped from control. He landed, hard, in the soul room and the door slammed shut with a bang.
Ryou was on his feet in an instant. "Bakura! Please! Leave her alone! Don't do this!" Suddenly, there was a spark of electricity and the window opened. Bakura was already at the front door. Panic started to crep in on Ryou. If he didn't regain control...Sabrina wouldn't make it to see tomorrow. All of a sudden, the light came on. Everytime he attacked the door all he did was shake Bakura's control, but the window was more fragile. If he could break through...Ryou made up his mind and charged at the window. His shoulder went into it hard and it shook in its "frame". Thankfully, he didn't have a true body inside the ring so he felt no pain from the impact.
Bakura's hand froze on the door knob as the window shook. His ears rung as the magic shield tried to repair itself from the impact. Ryou got up and hit the window again. Bakura collapsed to his knees as the ringing got louder and higher. "Stop it, Ryou!" he ordered. The ringing increased as Ryou got to his feet. Bakura clamped his hands over his ears. "Stop it now! You don't know what you're doing!" Ryou didn't listen and this time, when he hit, the shield went down and the window spiderwebbed. With a growl of frustration, Ryou got to his feet. He wouldn't let Bakura win. One last time he threw his weight against the window. It exploded into a thousand shards and a huge gale of wind rushed in. Ryou stumbled to his feet and stared in shock. On the other side was a void with lightning shooting in all directions.
' What have I done?' Ryou thought. Suddenly, a lightning bolt shot from the void and struck Ryou in the chest. The most intense pain he had ever felt consumed him and he screamed in agony as everything went black.
A/N: Poor Ryou! What is going on? You'll have to wait and see.
