IkutosGirl: I'm so tired! T_T

Bakura: And why is that?

IkutosGirl: I've been staying up until 4 in the morning during the past 2 weeks!

Ryou: Why? That's really bad for your health you know!

IkutosGirl: I know, but I've been busy…reading YGO fan fics…

Bakura: Why waste your time on th-!

IkutosGirl: …about Judai from GX…

Ryou: You… They weren't even about Bakura and me? What's wrong with you?

Bakura: I feel betrayed… T_T

Ryou's POV

"Ryou, are you okay?" The pestering girl tried to check my pulse.

"Let go of me." I sneered and slapped her hand away.

I stood up and flexed my body. I began to walk away when I felt another hand touching me. It was the boy this time. I turned around and faced him; ready to yell.

"What do you-?"

And then he punched me.

"Ryou, get your act together!" The boy yelled at me.

His fist had hit me in the stomach. I think my rib was broken too. He was serious about this. I could hear the girl crying; something like 'Tristan why? Why did you do that?'. She must have thought that hurt me.

I punched him back and he staggered, trying not to fall over. I reached for my knife.

"It's not there."

"And why not?" I snarled.

"Because I got rid of it after I– no you- murdered that man in that alleyway."

I groaned in frustration and looked around for something I could use. Then I got an idea; maybe the boy named Tristan had a knife on him. He seemed like the kind of person who might.

The idiot came back at me with another punch and a kick, but I easily dodged them. I twisted his arm behind his back. Then I searched his pockets and his jacket for the knife.

Unfortunately, I did not find one like I had hoped.

I sneered in his ear. "I would be glad to twist your neck but I don't want to attract any unnecessary attention to me. I'm not too keen on running into that damn Bakura yet."

I let go of him and he visibly shuddered; no doubt from fear. The girl ran over to the boy and stretched his arm out and began to check for any breaks.

"Ryou what is wrong with you?" The girl screamed at me.

"I'm not Ryou!" I snapped but did not look back.

I continued on, leaving the girl shocked and confused. I vaguely noticed it began to rain.

"You've only left her more confused than before now."

"I am not in the mood to hear your voice in my head." I groaned.

"Then why not let me out?"

Ha, he was in denial!

"Let you out? I've told you this already, you're not trapped anywhere. You left me behind, ignoring my advice as your conscience, and now I'm going to ignore yours." I nearly laughed at his foolishness.

"Then why don't you just ignore me?"

"But why would I want that? I've been without you for far too long and soon no one will be in our way and we'll be together all alone again, my precious Ryou." I sighed.

I could feel Ryou's denial and worry emanating from him, but it didn't matter. I'd enjoy Ryou's cries for freedom until he came to his senses.

Bakura's POV

"B-Bakura… are you okay…?" The Pharaoh asked me cautiously.

I was on the floor; curled up in a fetal position. I opened my eyes painfully quick and I recoiled from the light.

Light? But it was nighttime?

"Where are we…?" I groaned and tried to stand up.

I nearly lost my balance but managed to grab onto the wall for support.

Wall? Hadn't we been in the middle of the sidewalk?

"Well… you fainted so I had to drag you into an empty store room. Thank goodness it was unlocked… soon after you passed out it began to rain…" The Pharaoh was acting strange as he explained to me where we were.

He fidgeted often and rubbed his hands together. He avoided my gaze all together too. He was acting nothing like his usual annoying attitude.

"What happened when I passed out?" I asked suddenly, making the Pharaoh nearly jump.

"Umm…well…" He began but seemed pained to even think about it.

"What happened?" I asked, getting frustrated.

"Do you…remember what you dreamed when you passed out?" The Pharaoh asked me, avoiding my question.

"I'll tell you only if you answer my question after." I negotiated and the Pharaoh nodded.

"I saw… what happened to Kul Elna… all over again before my eyes…" My grip on the wall tightened. "…and then when I was all alone…roaming the desert and nearby cities for some type of shelter or help…" I could see the Pharaoh's eyes widen.

"…but of course… I never found any…"

I finished weakly and sat back down, glaring at the floor to prevent myself from breaking down.

"You were crying…" The Pharaoh whispered.

I snapped my head up. Only Ryou had ever seen me cry before. What else could he have seen while I was unconscious?

"Did I do anything else?" I asked suspiciously.

"No, you only cried…" The Pharaoh shook his head. "…but I think you heard you mutter something… I think it was something along the lines of 'all alone… I'm all alone'…"

I sighed and stood up. I grabbed the Pharaoh's shirt and pulled him closer to me.

"Do you know what Kul Elna is where it was?" I asked menacingly.

"N-no and I don't s-see why I would-d." The Pharaoh stuttered.

"Okay then, but the day you remember I will show you no mercy." I gritted my teeth and released me hold on the Pharaoh.

He stumbled backwards and dusted off his shirt. The action was insulting, but maybe the Pharaoh was going to start acting a bit more normal now that he had gotten everything off his chest. I just couldn't decide whether that was a good or a bad thing.

The Pharaoh cleared his throat and his eyes seem to shine with their usual superiority that I so loathed.

"Let's go find Ryou now." He declared and began to walk out the door of the room.

He ran back in once the rain fell onto his hair and he glanced at me sheepishly.

I sighed, breathing 'loser' and 'idiot' under my mouth and walked right into the rain. The Pharaoh caught on to my insults, but followed me wordlessly, letting his glaring eyes express his anger and annoyance.

IkutosGirl: Ohmygosh! The voice took control of Ryou's body! But I though Bakura could only do that!

Bakura: Well it's definitely not me, I'm not that delusional.

Ryou: Die!

Bakura: Wh-what?

Ryou: Nothing.

IkutosGirl: Umm… okay then… anyways, I have a question for you all! I want to know if my readers can guess who the voice is! (This is just to help me to determine how much of its identity I need to give away in the next chapter or two!~)
