In the previous chapter, Yami Bakura broke the Fourth Wall after an episode of YGOTAS. In this chapter, Ryou has a little talk with him.

This chapter's timing is unknown.

This chapter is a little exception. This story is not technically on "hiatus", but I'm not working on it at the moment due to my other stuffs (see my profile for a list of what im working on) so I'm giving you a kinda bonusy cut-scene filler thing to keep you people happy and whatever. Ryou is gonna have a little chitty-chat with his yami!

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, Yu-Gi-Oh! Season 0, YGOTAS, Hetalia, YouTube, Google, Cannibal Holocaust, Gmail, the video titled "Bakuras favorite card", the Fourth Wall, or any of the characters. And bunch of other stuff and whatevers.

WARNING OF THE CHAPTER: CONTAINS A YAMI-HIKARI SPAT, A TRAPPED AND RESTRICTED RYOU, MAYBE TENDERSHIPPY?, AND SOME PLOT DEVELOPMENT

R&R

ENJOY~!

So how to go about doing this... Bakura thought.

Suddenly, he felt a stirring in his mind. And then he sensed something being opened. A moment later, he heard a voice shout at him in his head.

"YAMI!"

Oh no...what the hell could he possibly want? And why is he outside of his soul room?

With an annoyed sigh, Bakura pulled himself inside his mind and took form in his and Ryou's soul hallway. Ryou stood there in front of his opened door, arms folded and face angry. Which made no sense. None of it. The open door, the way he was standing, and the expression on his face. That violated three norms in their relationship with each other. Bakura questioned all three.

"Care to tell me why you're outside of your soul room, why you're standing like that, and why you're looking at me like you have a reason to be angry with me?"

"Oh I have plenty of reason to be angry at you! Not counting what I called you here for now."

Bakura laughed at his words and his confident tone. "Are you kidding me? You called me here? You make it sound like you summoned me here." His face turned serious. "I came to ask you the question I just asked you. So answer it. Now. What are you doing?" His face turned mocking again. "I hope you weren't planning on taking control of our body again. You know it's as pointless now as it always has been."

Ryou kept up his confident, brave, and angry face up for a few more seconds, then he broke. He suddenly felt to his knees and his expression changed drastically, to the usual one filled with the slight fear he always felt around his yami. He shook his head and got to his feet again. "Ugh... Sorry."

"Heh... That's what I thought. So what do you want from me, can't you see I'm busy trying to destroy the world? Again."

Ryou completely ignored the sarcasm in his voice and shook his head. "No! That's what I called you for! You can't! You have to stop!"

"Hm?" Bakura's smile faded. "Stop? Stop what? Exactly what is it I'm doing that you assume you can stop me from doing?"

"This! This plan! You can't!"

"W-"

"Stop trying to break the Fourth Wall! You just can't!"

Bakura flinched a bit, surprised that Ryou not only knew what he was doing but also seemed to know about the Wall itself. "What are you talking about?"

"The Wall! The Fourth Wall! Yami you..." Ryou suddenly ran up to him and grabbed onto his shirt. He looked at him with wide and pleading eyes. "You have to stop this! Don't do this anymore!"

Bakura was clearly caught off guard by Ryou's sudden action. But then he reacted like he usually would: he automatically pushed Ryou away from him. "Don't touch," he said calmly.

Ryou looked up at him from where he sat on the floor, not fazed at all by the fact that he had been pushed.

"Follow." Bakura waked around him into Ryou's soul room. Ryou watched him and then got up and followed as he was instructed.

Bakura stopped walking and kept his back to Ryou. "First of all, why were you nosing around in my thoughts?"

"Um... Because I..." There was really no way to get out of this without some consequence, no matter the reason for doing it. "Well I... was worried about something... and I just happened to find out... and then...?"

"I obviously don't believe you. I'll be sure to go back to that later. At the moment what I'm more concerned about is what you know about the Fourth Wall."

"Ya-"

"Shut up and let me finish! What exactly do you know about it? And why do you want me to stop messing with it? And what did you mean by 'do this anymore'? I haven't even done anything yet!"

Bakura turned around while Ryou came up with an answer.

He avoided answering the first and third questions for the moment. He answered the second one. "Well I want you to stop because I just do! Isn't it obvious that you're evil and I'm not and I won't stand for this! Of course I would try to keep you from doing something like this! I don't want you breaking the Wall!"

"Is it because of all the potential destruction of lives and the chaos that I would cause in both worlds?"

"Uh... Yes."

"Hmph. Who ever said you get a say in what I do? I do what I want when I want, regardless of what you want. You know that by now, don't you? Why are you suddenly fighting me when you've gained no new power over me? What's the point?"

"The point is that... You're evil."

"Is that the best you've got?"

Ryou nodded once.

"Hm..." Something in Ryou's answer left Bakura suspicious. "There's more to it than that. Come on. Out with it. What's going on? And you haven't answered my other question, don't think I didn't notice."

Ryou sighed. "Fine. I know that it separates reality from fiction and right now we are in the fiction world. You want to escape so you can rewrite the show in your favor. But you can't do that!"

"Again, why the hell not? Who's saying I can't? You? Ha! We've already established that trying to stop me is pointless. All I want to know is why."

Ryou's face looked like he was trying to hold back tears. Why? What had gotten into him? Why was he acting do strange? "Okay. You want the truth, Bakura?"

Bakura blinked. That was a slight shock. Ryou rarely called him 'Bakura'. Only in very rare and serious circumstances. Apparently now was one of them.

"The truth is that I don't want you to get hurt!"

Bakura blinked again. "Hurt?" he asked with an eyebrow raised. "What are you talking about?"

Ryou blushed visibly and turned away. "Usually when you do dangerous things, I care because I'm worried about the state of my body. But this time it's different. This time I...actually...am worried about you."

Bakura looked at his hikari confusedly. Then he laughed and walked over to him, then put a hand on his head and started ruffling his hair roughly. Ryou tried to shrink back from the hand but it wouldn't happen. "So, little hikari, you actually care about me for once? I thought you hated everything about the evil that I am and would like nothing more than to see me hurt and gone."

Ryou cringed under he hand. "Yami please stop doing that."

"Doing what? This?" He rubbed Ryou's hair harder. "Oh I'm sorry is it bothering you?" he asked in a mocking tone. "Am I hurting you?"

"Yes! Get off!"

"No."

"Yami!" Ryou turned around and started waving his arms at Bakura's arm trying to slap it away. He got a few hits in, but Bakura only let to when he felt like it. "Stop doing that. I don't like when to do that."

"Which is why I do it. Now what were you saying about being worried about me?"

"Uh..." Ryou's blush returned. "Well I..." At the risk of being pushed away again, he lunged at Bakura and grabbed his shirt again, his face with the same expression it had when he had done this the first time. "You can't leave! You can't go to the real world! You just can't!"

Bakura chose not to push Ryou away again. "Why not?" He could tell from the way the conversation was going that the reason didn't have something to do with Ryou's overall hatred for him and his plans.

"Because it's dangerous! I can't let you keep doing this! You may be strong and powerful and manipulative and resourceful, but Yami, I don't think you would survive out there!"

Bakura blinked rapidly at Ryou, trying to make sense of what he was saying. Those wide, brown, and pleading eyes bore into his own. He closed his eyes and started chuckling. "What are you laughing about?"

"The fact," Bakura replied with his eyes still closed, "that you actually think I wouldn't survive out there, the fact that you actually care about my well-being, and the fact that you think I'm going to actually listen to you and stop this just because you tell me to. That's not how this works, little hikari. You know that. Now..." He finally pushed Ryou away, more gently this time, and opened his eyes. "Don't touch me."

He stumbled back a few steps, but was fine. "Hmmmh..."

"Why would I not survive?"

"Why do you think?! This isn't the real world! The real world doesn't play card games and people make fun of you for having hair like ours or Yugi's and there... It's just that you... Also you would get mobbed by fangirls, which would be a very terrible experience."

"How do you know?"

Ryou shuddered, as if recalling a chilling memory. "I just do. Too bad you don't... I... Ow my head hurts now..."

"Just as well. I'm going back out there." Bakura walked around Ryou. Ryou turned around as he walked and followed him with his eyes. Bakura looked back at him as he walked to the hallway. "And you're going to stay there like a good little host and don't bother me again."

Bakura was almost out the door. He turned away and reached for the door knob. At the last second, Ryou suddenly ran after him and grabbed the arm that reached for the knob and started dragging him back with all the strength he had. "No you can't!"

He succeeded in dragging his yami back a foot or two before Bakura reacted. "Ryou! What are you doing?!" he shouted.

"Stopping you!" he cried. He latched himself onto his yami's arm and started crying a bit. "You can't go through with this! I won't let you!"

"You have no choice. Get. Off. Of. Me."

"No! I refuse!" Ryou squeezed the arm tighter and even dug his nails into Bakura's skin a bit. He didn't draw blood, but there would be visible marks left behind.

Is he serious?

"Again, you seem you think you have a choice here... But you DON'T!" Bakura grabbed Ryou by the hair and pulled the teen off of him. Although Bakura didn't actually push that hard, Ryou actually stumbled and fell back. But Ryou wasn't expecting it and his knees were already weak.

He didn't seem to mind being pushed, only that his yami was still going to go through with it. "You just can't!"

"I can."

Bakura stepped out and closed the door behind him. Then he held a hand up to Ryou's door and locked it psychically. Then he left their hallway and returned back to their body.

~Back in the real world...~

Nothing had changed. Everything was still the way it was. As always.

"What is wrong with him?" Bakura wondered aloud. "He never dares act like that with me. Ever... Hm... Whatever. Now what was I doing before? Oh yes! How to go about doing this..."

~Back in the room...~

A strange shapeless being came out of Ryou. It took the form of a human being and stood in front of Ryou with its arms folded. Ryou looked up at it. "I tried. We tried," he told it.

The being sighed a genderless sigh in Ryou's mind. "Don't worry about it," it told him. "He'll figure it out eventually..."

"But what's going to happen to him? I don't want to lose him or for him to get hurt!"

The being sighed again and facepalmed. "Ugh..." it mumbled to itself. "Not tendershipping...better not be." It addressed Ryou again. "Don't worry about your dark. He'll get what's coming to him. The tenth cycle, I'll confront him directly. Don't worry about anything."

The being walked up to Ryou and knelt down. It put a hand on Ryou's forehead and concentrated. "Now, little light, sleep. Sleep and forget about me. You never met me and I helped you. Sleep." The being's words sounded so tranquil and hypnotic.

Ryou couldn't stop his eyelids from dropping, his mind from temporarily going blank, and his soul from falling to the ground.

The being removed its hand from his forehead and faded away.

So again, check my profile for the 'schedule' on what I'm working on. I have a lot of stuff there so it might take a while for me to get back to this. Sorry!

A note about how things are going to work with this: Each chapter has its own warning and genre. Read it to see what type of chapter it will be.
