Ryou was standing before Bakura's soul door. The door was warm. He was about to knock on the door, but it opened on his own. It was if someone was expecting him, that he was welcome. In the room there was nothing to be seen, the lights were off. He tried to find the light switch but the walls felt like ice. The door behind him closed. It was so dark he couldn't see his own hands. Then there was a sound in the dark. Ryou instinctively stiffened afraid for what was to come. The dark closed around him he wrapped his arms around him. He was still scared, stood there nailed to the ground. His thoughts told him to run but his heart told him to stay.
Here is my heart
yours to take
Do with it what you want
it will not break
Two arms wrapped around him, a voice whispered in his ear: "I was expecting you."
Ryou leaned closer relaxing in the other's arms, he had recognized the voice. "Bakura." He sighed.
"Yes." came the husky answer in his ear.
What keeps it strong?
That is my trust
In your love
and in the two of us
"I missed you." Ryou said wrapping his arms around his yami's waist. " I missed you so much." He sobbed in his dark's chest.
I thought that it would hurt to see you again
So ran away, afraid what to come
I won't run away any more
Not after what you have done
Suddenly the room wasn't as dark anymore. Candles were magically lit and gave the illusion of moving shadows. Ryou looked around his dark's soul room. The walls where made of black stone. Candles were on the desk and on the ground. Then he noticed that the person he was hugging didn't look like his Bakura.
"Who are you and where is Bakura?" Ryou shot away from this 'stranger'.
You proved your trust
That meant a lot to me
I've new hope
But who is that stranger I see
"But hikari it's me, this is only my Egyptian form." Ryou became curious and stepped towards him.
"This was how you looked like when you were a tomb robber?" Ryou trailed his finger over the scar on Bakura's cheek.
You had a hard life
In Egypt hadn't you
Stealing a daily thing
Fighting to survive
"Yes it is, hikari." Answered Bakura
" Can I ask you something?"
"Anything." Said Ryou trusting his yami completely.
"Do you love me? I mean do you love me as a person?"
Ryou looked his yami in his eyes, making sure he was not joking. Bakura was growing nervous. " If you don't it's ok. I will always take care of you…"
I always wanted a person to take care of
Someone to share the pain
Someone to protect
Someone to love
"Did you mean it?" asked Ryou, he refusing to look in his Yami's eyes before he heard his answer.
"Mean what?"
"The things you said in the letter."
I found that someone
It was you
Standing there
Waiting for someone
That was
Me
" Of course."
"That's all I wanted to hear." Whispered Ryou closing his eyes.
Forming one soul forever.
...THE END...
