IkutosGirl: So you guys, I might have lost some of my readers since "you know who" is not canon… T_T

Bakura: *no comment*

IkutosGirl: But I will keep writing no matter what happens!

Bakura: Good for you! *is sincere*

IkutosGirl: Thank you! *hugs*

Bakura: No! D-don't touch me! Gah! Help me, Ryou!

Ryou: …no.

Bakura: T_T

Bakura's POV

"We've been walking forever!" I whined.

My feet were hurting, my legs were jiggly, and my eyes were stinging. Damn, I feel half dead.

"I highly doubt you're that tired!" The Pharaoh yelled at me, obviously annoyed at my behavior.

"…Well I am…" I muttered under my breath.

"You are the weakest tomb robber I have ever met!" The Pharaoh complained.

I turned around and stalked towards the Pharaoh. He had gone too far. I could handle his whining, his constant bragging, and his usual insults, but this; this was over the line.

"I AM THE THIEF KING NOT A MERE TOMB ROBBER!" I screamed and he took a few steps back.

The Pharaoh stared at me in shock and his eyes were too wide to be considered normal.

"I am better than any stupid human on this planet, including you! Every single human is weak and pathetic and not worth any of my time! Why? Because I am so superior! So please; continue to insult me and I will gladly skin you alive!" I yelled and ended in a hiss.

The Pharaoh was still shocked but looked like he was debating whether or not to tell me something.

"Well, do you have something to say?" I seethed.

"Well…" The Pharaoh took a few steps forward and he grabbed my collar. His eyes were suddenly engulfed in flames, or well, you know what I mean.

"…We might as well turn around right now." The Pharaoh said coldly.

"W-why? We have to find Ryou!" I yelled at the Pharaoh, feeling confused at his sudden change of attitude.

"You said that 'every human is not worth any of your time'. That does apply to Ryou, who is a human, doesn't it?" The Pharaoh nearly sneered, but I could I see the mischievous glint in his eyes.

I sighed and grabbed his hand. I yanked it off of my shirt and wiped it off.

"I hate it when you do this." I glared at the Pharaoh and he snickered.

"What have you learned, Tomb Robber?" The Pharaoh asked.

I considered what to say. "…I said call me Thief King."

The Pharaoh sighed, but I could tell that he knew that he had gotten through to me. We continued to walk for another large amount of time that I could define as 'forever'.

Ryou's POV

We had been walking for a long time, but it didn't bother me. My body was surprisingly still in great shape, if not better since those years ago when I had been locked away from myself.

"Of course it's in great shape! I take care of myself! I have good hygiene, a great appetite, and hell I even exercise!" Ryou declared, sounding offended that I had even considered that he had not been taking care of himself.

"And don't forget Bakura always was up and about, never resting not at night or da-!"

"Shut up about that damn parasite." I ordered Ryou suddenly.

I could feel his shock but he shut his mouth. I hated him. I hated him so much! He was why Ryou had abandoned me! He was Ryou couldn't welcome me back… it was all his fault!

"Ryou! Are you around here?" I heard a male's voice yelled through the streets.

It was a strange voice, like it held authority…

Suddenly Ryou was fighting.

"Let me out! Let me out! That's the Pharaoh, the Pharaoh!" Ryou was ecstatic that someone had found him.

"Ryou! I swear to hell if you're hiding I will personally-!" Another all-too familiar voice yelled, but it was cut off.

"Shut up please, we don't need you threatening him." The demanding voice complained.

The two voices began to argue about their petty problems when suddenly I heard a gasp.

"He's around here." The annoyingly recognizable voice said and then I heard footsteps coming my way.

I tried to take my first step away from them but I couldn't.

"Hurry Bakura! Hurry!" Ryou was pleading as he used all his strength to keep me in place.

"D-dammit!" I yelled a bit too loudly and the running pace of the voices' owners quickened.

"This way! You're too slow your Highness!" The second voice, who was unfortunately Bakura, mocked the first voice, who I believe Ryou called the Pharaoh.

I tried to move again but Ryou's determination prevented me from even budging. I sighed and tried to keep my composure as the footsteps got closer and closer and closer…

And then they reached me.

Bakura walked straight up to me, but the Pharaoh kept a small distance between us, watching me closely. Bakura grabbed my chin and pulled my face closer to his.

Ryou felt like blushing, but I kept my face straight and emotionless.

"I was right Pharaoh," Bakura called to behind his shoulder. "It's not even Ryou anymore."

Ryou was elated that Bakura could tell the difference, but I was not so impressed.

The Pharaoh walked up to me and studied my face. He especially noted my eyes. They were not dull, they were full of life, but they were the wrong shade of brown.

"Hmm, it seems you were right. Something has indeed changed from our earlier…problems… with Ryou." The Pharaoh praised Bakura, in a way, and continued to study me.

After an awkward silence the Pharaoh finally put some space between us. I had noticed that Bakura had been silent and it was bothering me.

"Don't let it bother you too much, it just means that Bakura's really thinking hard.~" Ryou told me, seeming happier than earlier.

"I've come to a conclusion!" The Pharaoh announced smugly, but Bakura deflated his ego.

"Someone had been influencing Ryou's thoughts, but now they have decided to resort to simply taking complete control." Bakura said, still thinking. "I figured that out about 5 minutes ago."

I was taken aback, as well was the Pharaoh.

"Then what had you been thinking about this whole time?" The Pharaoh questioned.

"How I should get rid of this thing renting out Ryou's body while I'm on vacation…" Bakura said and everyone looked at him suspiciously. "…and if I should do it violently or use the Millennium Key…"

"But you don't have the Millennium Key!" The Pharaoh cried in shock.

"I know, but Ryou still does." I smirked.

IkutosGirl: And that's chapter 14!

Ryou: We know.

IkutosGirl: You're way too pessimistic.

Ryou: You never tell that to Bakura!

IkutosGirl: That because it's Bakura's best point.

Ryou: What- but- that- I mean- well- what?

Bakura: Face it Ryou, the girls love the bad guys.

Ryou: Then how come yo-

Bakura: You don't count.

Ryou: T_T
