Alrighty next chapter! This time we get our favorite pair of white haired fellows.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!

Five thousand years ago the King of thieves Akefia tried to take over the world. He had summoned the great evil Zork and destroyed most of the kingdom. He came very close to winning too, but his greatest adversary had something up his sleeve. The Pharaoh was able to seal it away.

Enraged that the Pharaoh had foiled his plans when he was so close to achieving them, he devised a way to get his revenge. He realized that when the Pharaoh sealed away Zork he also sealed away himself. The thief king took this as his own chance to carry out his plan once more and sealed his own soul away inside the millennium ring.

Now just like the Pharaoh, the thief king thought that this was a full proof plan, but found out that he too did not know of the consequences of the spell he cast. The millennium ring only took in the darkness of his soul. It was this part of his soul that was forced to live inside the ring for five thousand years, waiting for his time to come.

Despite there only being a little left, there was light still to be found inside the thief's soul. Like the Pharaoh's light it could not survive on its own and could not return to the body, so it was also reincarnated to a new time. To a time when its darkness would be present once more.

Just like the Pharaoh, both darkness and light appeared again five thousand years later. However, this time around the darkness knew exactly who he was. He knew why he was there and spent his time waiting for the Pharaoh to appear by setting up the steps for his revenge. The light did not know of its past though, it had begun anew pure and innocent.

When the light was young, it had received the item that contained its darkness. When the light accepted the item from its father, it did not know what it was releasing onto the world, all it knew was that it felt like it was meant to have it. The light knew that the ring was meant for him and only him.

The dark and light had a strange relationship. The dark knew what it wanted to do and was not going to be stopped, not even by its light. However it still knew that it needed its light to cooperate with it, for its plan to work.

The light knew what its dark was doing, it knew that what the dark was doing was wrong, but it still wanted to be with its dark. The light couldn't help it, it was lonely from having only its father as family and its dark filled that void despite the abuse. The light felt complete with the dark.

Light and dark hardly interacted with each other, for the dark wanted its light to submit completely to it. The dark was going to force its light into obeying him like it did back in ancient Egypt. The light had also become very wary of the dark because it didn't know when it would snap.

Despite this the light did not want to be away from its dark. It would never leave its dark no matter what it did, because no matter what he was still his dark. It was because of this that they had a very fragile relationship. They were already horribly separated and now the dark pushed its light even further away.

Ryou, what the light was now dubbed, had already suffered through much tragedy between his mother and little sister, and his father all but abandoning him except for the occasional phone call and supply of home and money. He was very closed off and had little friends, and the few he did manage to make would always mysteriously fall to their own tragedy, so the poor light was forced to stop interacting with others unless he deemed it necessary.

Bakura, what the dark has been dubbed by his light's ignorant friends, was obsessed. He wanted to defeat the Pharaoh and would make sure all obstacles were removed. He was the one who caused his light's friends tragedies, because he wanted to make sure his light was loyal to him and only him. He knew his light wouldn't leave him, but he would never allow himself to trust someone, not even the other half of his soul. He didn't always abuse his light though, he showed his light kindness sometimes even if those times were few.

This relationship that should be welcomed by both sides was impossible to understand. No one could understand the light's feelings because the light barely understood it himself. Even the times when it had been given the chance to be free of its darkness, it still welcomed it back. When its ring was taken from him in Battle city, the light sought it out and took it back knowing what it possessed because it wanted its darkness again. The light without its dark would shut down just as he used to because the dark made it so that it was the light's only companion, and the light begun to cling to it like a lifeline, so without its dark, the light would shut down into loneliness.

The dark without its light was even worse. It not only sought out its light, it tore down everything in its path to get back to it. It knew that it would not accomplish its goal without its light, whether or not it would ever admit that. The darkness was merciless and cared for no one, not even its light escaped his wrath, the light was just treated better than everyone else.

Others had already abandoned the light before, because they were scared of its dark, but even if the dark left they wouldn't come back. They would still be scared because they wouldn't be able to understand why the light wanted the dark back. The dark without its light would just go on a destruction spree because its light would no longer be there to stop him from doing it.

So let us hope that nothing separates the two even more than they already are. Let us hope that no reason on this planet will force them to lose contact with each other because it will not be a pretty sight to see. Watching them fall apart will be a horrific thing to witness. They already have enough pain to deal with, the least we can do is allow them to have each other. Not only for their sakes, but very much for the world's sake.

Alright! This was Bakura and Ryou's chapter, I feel like it didn't get the same vibe as Yugi and Yami, but then again I guess it wasn't supposed to since the relationship was different. Also for those of you who don't know, I am not making things up when I say Ryou wanted Bakura back and that Bakura treated him okay in some ways, you see it in the manga and Japanese versions, look it up, Ryou is actually upset at Yugi in battle city because Yugi didn't tell him he knew where the millennium ring was and took it back. Also I forgot to mention this but I will update this every week unless I end up being able to update it sooner. See you next time! R&R plz :)
