Hey I got some nice review(s) on that last chapter.

Bakura: Whatever.

Jules: Why so under the weather 'Kura?

Bakura: *eye twitches* What did you call me.

Jules: I'm the authoress. I can do whatever I want.

Bakura: I'm not forgiving you for what you did to my Hikari.

Jules: Oh suck it up ya MARY SUE!

Bakura: THAT'S IT! NO ONE DOES THOSE STUPID ABRIDGED JOKES! NO ONE!

Yugi: Um, well here's the chapter…

Chapter 21- Threats

Bakura's Pov

How the hell did Ryou get hurt? I thought to myself. I ran down the apartment hallway. I noticed Samalia shutting the door. She was going to leave. She saw me, and looked mad.

"Hey there." I said with a smirk. She quickly smacked me hard on the cheek.

"Don't you dare give me that frikkin attitude." She glared at me. My smirk faded.

"What the hell is your problem?" I asked.

"What's wrong? WHATS WRONG? Hmm… let's see. I have to break down the door to study with Ryou, and the next thing I know, he's laying there half-DEAD in his own blood. Then when I finally knocked the intruder out cold, WHICH HAPPENED TO BE RYOU'S FATHER MAY I REMIND YOU, I help Ryou. He's so frikkin scared that I'm gonna leave him alone. And who the hell made him this way: YOU BAKURA! YOU! WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM! I THOUGHT YOU WERE BAD BUT NOT A FRIKKIN PYSCOPATH! JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?"

"S-Sam I'm not like that any-"

"I don't wanna here it Bakura. Just go and help your stupid Hikari."

That's when I became pissed.

"What did you say? Did you just call Ryou STUPID. For your information Samalia he has more knowledge then anyone. Way more than can you imagine."

"Look I don't need your stupid lectures. Just leave me alone." She started crying.

"What's your problem?" I asked in an angry tone.

"Do me a favor: Look at the walls. That should help." She then grabbed her bag, and left.

"What the hell is her problem?" I opened the door. I truly was aware of why Samalia would be scared: Blood. Everywhere.

On the floor, on the couches, even on the walls. I read the message on the wall:

This is only the beginning.

Was this targeted at Sam or Ryou? I didn't understand. I picked Ryou up from the couch. I went in his room, but it was completely trashed. So, I decided to go in my room, and lay him in my bed. He was covered in blood. His pure white hair was now stained. His clothes full of the red liquid. It was revolting.

"Y-yami?" I heard a weary voice say. I looked to see a dazed Ryou.

"Ssh… Your fine my sweet Hikari. Just relax, and rest. You need it." He looked even more confused.

"B-But Sam is coming over." He then looked at his hands and clothes, "Oh no! What happened! Did father return?" I gave him a hug. A HUG.

"Yes, and Samalia was already here. Don't you remember, Ryou."

"Y-yes. I remember her screaming 'Don't go.' She was cleaning my wounds, right?"

"Yes, Hikari. Yes."

"Oh." There was a long pause. "Bakura?"

"Yes?"

Tears were flowing from his eyes, "I'm sorry I cause so much trouble. I don't mean it really."

I gave a slight smile. "Don't be sorry. It's not your fault. Now, go take a shower. You need it. Be careful with those wounds." He nodded, and went to the bathroom.

I went into the living room area.

I still had to take care of Ryou's father…

SAMALIA'S POV

I ran inside the house.

Oh God, did I have a fight with Bakura? Well it wouldn't be the first tim-

OH GOD THIS FRIKKIN WRIST!

I went to bathroom, and went straight for the first aid kit. I wrapped my wrist with the mark on it. It was still bleeding. I also put a band-aid on my cheek, from where I got the cut. It didn't hurt as bad. I looked at myself closely in the mirror:

Father, I know you're looking over me. But why, is it I have to go through this? Why? You promised me justice, freedom, and love. This is not what I meant. Or at least what I thought…..

Did I really call Ryou stupid? I didn't mean it. No not at all.

Why did Ryou get hurt? His father couldn't have been this cruel. No, no one is THAT cruel.

CRASH!

I opened the door to the bathroom, to see that a window from my room was broken. On the bed was a piece of paper folded in thirds. I slowly walked over to bed. I picked up the piece of paper, and unfolded it. I read out loud:

Your dear older sibling is next

Oh God…

~Well that was chapter 21! Aww there was a brief Tendershipping moment! Hurray!

So many questions:

Who REALLY is the next target?

Is this the end of Bakura and Samalia?

Why DID Ryou get hurt?

Who is threatening Samalia?
