Yes this is chapter three of my pastshipping story! I have decided to speed things up a bit and start introducing the plot. So guess who comes in later to speed things up a bit...Well I'm not saying yet you gots to read it. But I do feel bad about one thing I've done to one of my most favorite characters....But I've also decided to keep all the characters coming in from this chapter on as in character as possible.

Bakura: Oh get on with your story you incompetent mortal.

Me: Sorry 'Kura would you like to do the disclaimer?

Bakura: Sure. Chris doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of the characters used in this story, he's not creative enought to have made us.

Me: Hay!

Bakura: Just start your story before I get bored and send your dog to the shadow realm...Or maybe I'll put your dog in a tree and send them both to the shadow realm...-walks off to find chris's dog-

Me: Okay here's the story guys enjoy! BAKURA LEAVE SEPHAPUP ALONE! -runs after Bakura-

Marik groaned as he heard a glass shatter against the kitchen floor and Namu yelp behind turned around to survey the damage and sighed when he saw Namu holding his hand to his chest. Marik ran one hand through his long platnum blond hair and walked to Namu's side, "Let me see." Namu whimpered as he held his hand out to Marik, a piece of glass from his cup had stabbed the center of his palm. "Hold still okay." Marik garbed Namus wrist and as quickly as he could yanked the shard of glass out. Namu whimpered as Marik led him to the counter and pored peroxide onto his hand and began to clean the cut.

"You should be more careful," Marik sighed and began to wrap a bandage around the cut. "You know I'm not always going to be here to help you Namu." He finished with the bandage and let Namu's wrist go. Namu whimpered and tackled Marik to the counter, nuzzling into his shirt as tears streamed down his innocent face.

"Don't le-leave me alone..."Namu whimpered as Marik wrapped his arms comfortingly around Namu." I h-hate being alone..."

"Namu I never said I'd leave you alone..." Marik frowned when the doorbell rang causing Namu to flinch in his arms, "It's okay Namu just wait here for a minute." Namu nodded and reluctantly released his hold on Marik.

Marik hurried to the door and opened it before who ever was on the other side decided to ring the damned thing again. "Yes?" Marik's eyes widened and a smile appeared on his face when he saw the pale boy at his door. "Ryou I thought you were going out with Yugi and his gang tonight."

Ryou shook his head as he walked into the house , "No They decided to go and see a horror film and I do hate those bloody things." Marik led Ryou into the kitchen where

Namu instantly tensed up and watched Ryou wearily. "Who's this i didn't think you had a twin..."

"That's Namu he's got amnesia and is staying with me until he remembers what happened to him and where he's from." Marik watched as Ryou observed Namu eagerly and began to laugh, "I knew that fool couldn't do anything right."

Mariks eyes widened and he pulled Namu behind him, "What do you want Bakura?" Bakura looked up at Marik and smiled innocently "Can't I come and visit you without wanting something?" Marik glared at the dark yami causing him to sigh and lean back against the counter," I just wanted to see if that psychotic Yami of yours had found a way for us to get our own bodies...but from the looks of that pathetic creature behind you, he still has a lot to fix with the result."

Marik looked back at Namu pushed up against his back and quivering in fear, could he really be his yami...No Namu was to innocent and timid to be that psychopath...But then who and what was he?..Marik shook his head and glared at Bakura desperate to remove the thoughts of Namu and his yami being the same person he asked the first the question that came to his mind. "What's wrong with Ryou's body?"

"You mean you don't know?" Bakura smirked before going through a violent fit of coughing. After two minutes Bakura finally stopped and held his hand up to so Marik could see the faint flecks of blood on his palm. "You see my host has Tuberculosis and can't afford the treatment for it."

"Mari what's Tuberculosis." Namu whimpered and peaked around Mariks side to watch Bakura. Bakura laughed and stifled a few more coughs," Tuberculosis is where a person goes through a long and agonizing death of slowly drowning in their own blood. "

"Why didn't he tell me I would of helped him...How long has he had?" Marik watched Bakura yawn and lazily observe his finger nails "About a year now, but he'll be dead within the next two years." Marik looked down and Namu nuzzled closer to him whimpering. "You see I was hoping that yami of yours had come up with a way to get both of us our own bodies, but looking at Namu I'd rather take my chances with Ryou's body."

"How can you talk about Ryou like that!? He's your hikari and you don't care if he lives or dies?!" Marik seethed at Bakura.

"I'll be finished with my plans with in the time limit of his impending death so why should I care about him dieing if I'll be finished with him?"Bakura chuckled and suppressed another yawn.

"I don't like him Mari please make him leave." Namu whimpered and Marik looked up at Bakura and glared. "Alright I can see I'm not wanted here." Bakura chuckled as he walked to the door and turned to stair at Marik," But do remember what I said Marik."

The door closed and Bakura began to cough violently once more, "Damn host." He hissed as a dark figure wrapped it's arms around him. "You okay?"

"I'm fine..." He wiped some blood from his lips and leaned back into the shadows hold, "I think he bought it."

"That's good." The figure nuzzled into Bakura's neck and chuckled,"It's only a matter of time until we can put our plan into motion." The two laughed as theywalked down the dark abandoned street to Ryou's apartment.


Dark Figure Guy: Well it's about time you mentioned me.
Me: Yeah it is...Wait I'm introducing the villain in the third chapter doesn't that seem kinda soon?
DFG: Of course not Chris, besides I doubt any of them could guess who I actually am.
Bakura: Yes because there are so many villains in Yu-Gi-Oh...Face it ***** They could easily guess who you are.
Marik: It's true even though I can't see your face I already know who you are.
DFG: DAMN IT! Well if any of the readers can guess who I am I'll give them a suprise in the chapter where Chris reveals me.
Bakura: In other words Review and we'll all do something special for you.
