Get ready to freak out and flip the table in reaction to this chapter.

Don't say I didn't warn you. ;)

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, YGOTAS, Hetalia, the fanfiction site, Bakura's hair, the British language, Slenderman (the game or the abridged version), or any of the character/trademarks in those.

R&R

ENJOY~!


Bakura knocked on the bathroom door. "Ryou! You're still in there, right?"

Ryou opened the door a crack and peeked out. "Y-yes," he stuttered in a small voice.

"What did you want to talk about?"

Ryou stepped back and opened the door the rest of the way. "Come in."

Bakura stepped inside and closed the door behind him. "So what's up?" He leaned against the edge of the sink and folded his arms, while Ryou leaned against the wall across from him.

Ryou cringed and closed his eyes. He was blushing and frowning. "Uh... I-it's about what you were saying earlier... About things I got from you... A-a-and..." He hugged himself tightly for a moment.

"And?" Bakura asked expectantly.

"And um... Earlier today, I was with Melvin..."

"What did he do?"

"N-nothing. He didn't do anything. He just helped me realize something..."

Bakura tilted his head and looked at Ryou in confusion. "Well? Out with it already!"

"Um..."

Ryou took a deep breath And composed himself. Then he opened his eyes and looked his yami in the eyes. "He was petting my hair for some random reason and..." He gulped. "I really don't know how to say this."

"If you don't tell me within the next minute, I'm going into your mind and finding out for myself," Bakura said a bit irritably.

Ryou's eyes briefly widened and he held up his hands. "No it's okay I'll tell you!"

"Why are you still blushing?"

At that, Ryou cringed again and blushed harder. "J-just shut up! Stop bloody pressuring me! If you keep pressuring me to tell you, I'm not going to tell you a buggering thing!"

Bakura's eyes widened at Ryou's tone. There was a hint of franticness and desperation in his voice. He didn't know why, but there was something familiar about that hint of desperation in his voice.

"You know what, forget it," Ryou said. He turned his head away from Bakura, closed his eyes, and folded his arms. His blush lessened significantly. "It might be best not to tell you."

"Ryou!" Bakura pushed away from the sink and stepped up to Ryou. He put a hand on top of the hikari's head, turned it so Ryou was facing him, and leaned close to him. Ryou's eyes shot open. "Pull yourself together. Just tell me."

Ryou's eyes widened and his blush returned. He unfolded his arms and suddenly grabbed Bakura's wrist with both hands. With a cat-like hiss, he pulled Bakura's hand away from his hair. "Don't touch me!" he shouted, an angry look on his face.

Bakura's eyes went wide with surprise. That had been totally unexpected. What the hell? What was that?! And why did his reaction seem familiar...?

Ryou's face suddenly relaxed and he gasped. He let go of Bakura's wrist and took several steps away from him so the side. He put his hands on his head.

Bakura looked at Ryou suspiciously. "What the bloody hell is your problem? What is wrong with you?"

Ryou blushed harder and shook his head. "I think that when we separated, one of your physical traits was passed on to my body..."

Bakura's eyes narrowed. "What trait are you talking about?"

"The one that..." Ryou hesitated.

Bakura put a hand on his chin. "Your behavior seems familiar somehow. But I can't quite figure out why."

"Well it should," Ryou said in a calmer voice. "You reacted the same way a while ago."

"Wha... Stop stalling and just tell me what—"

Bakura cut himself off and zoned out. He had just put the pieces together. The desperation in his voice, the cringing and the blushing, the cat-like hissing, the reaction to having his head touched—or more specifically, his hair touched...

He zoned back in and locked eyes with Ryou. "Are you saying that..."

Ryou nodded. "That 'erogenous hair' thing you have. I think it passed on to me when Aquailita gave us separate bodies."

Bakura's eyes widened a lot, in total shock. He was silent for a few seconds, wondering how he should react.

Then he reacted

by bursting out laughing.

"AHAHAHAHAHA! OH MY RA! YOU— HAHAHA!"

Ryou's face reddened further. Like redder than Spain's tomatoes. "'snot funny..." Ryou murmured.

Bakura was laughing so hard that he was bending over and had to lean on the sink counter to stay up. "Ha! It's totally funny! Hahaha! When...hahaha...did you find out?!" He controlled his laughter and looked up long enough to see and hear Ryou's response.

"Earlier today," Ryou said, "Melvin was randomly petting my hair for no reason. Close to the front."

"Heh heh, same place Marik was petting in the first fanfic of this trilogy."

"Then," Ryou continued, "I suddenly felt...a certain...feeling...unexpectedly... And it was around here." With his fingers, he circled the air above two areas of his hair, on top of his head, near the front. He was pointing to two areas very close to the same area Bakura's bat wings were at on Bakura's head. "Almost exactly the same place that yours are at..."

"Nope," Bakura said. He had finally stopped laughing and composed himself. Now he was serious. "The exact same spot mine are at."

"So... I know how you used to react to Marik messing with them and unfortunately how you felt when anyone besides you touched them, so when Melvin touched my hair there and I felt like that, I knew what it was..."

"Hm... I can imagine..." Bakura murmured.

Bakura stepped up to him and reached for Ryou's hair. He gently rested his hands on the areas Ryou pointed out, then slowly began to move his hands backwards.

Ryou shut his eyes tightly, cringed greatly, and blushed noticeably. He let out an uncomfortably moan. Then he grabbed Bakura's hands and moved them away from his hair. "Kura, stahp eeet!" he groaned.

Bakura nodded. "Yup. Your hair is just like mine now."

Ryou lowered his head and stared at the ground. "Ugh..." He let go of Bakura's hands.

"Congratulations. You have hair like those two gay wimps in Hetalia known as the Vargas brothers. Welcome to the party."

Ryou picked up his head and looked at Bakura helplessly. "But why, though?! How does this make sense?! Why me?!"

Bakura shrugged. "You said it yourself. When we were given separate bodies, that trait must have been copied over to your new body."

Ryou's jaw dropped. "What?! What do you mean 'my new body'?! It was my body to begin with! You're the one who got a new body, not me. If anything, my lack of that trait should have been copied over to you! Well not necessarily, but that would have made sense."

"True, but what other explanation is there? I know that you weren't like this before that day, and it was only me."

"Why me?! And how do I...even deal with..." Ryou suddenly dropped to his knees and hid his face in his hands. "Uuuggghhh. Bloody freaking hell..."

"If you need help dealing with it," Bakura said, kneeling down so he was on Ryou's level, "just let me know. I'll help you through this."

Ryou looked up with wide eyes. "What? You really mean it? You would actually do something that nice for me?"

Bakura's face was neutral, but he nodded. "Yes. I would."

"Wow..." Ryou smiled. "I thought you were just going to make fun of me for it like how I used to bother you about it occasionally."

Bakura cracked a smile and let out a laugh. "Of course I'm going to bother you about it!" Ryou's smile faded instantly. "Every comment you made to me in the past, expect me to make that same comment to you, and be even more taunting about it. You're not getting off easy about this. Sure, I'll help you out. But I'm not letting this go."

Ryou actually laughed about that. "I hate you, Yami."

Bakura couldn't help but smile at that. "I know."

His smile faded when Ryou suddenly hugged him out of nowhere. He grunted in surprise. "Ryou what are you doing?!"

"Hugging you."

"Why?! Get the bloody hell off!"

"No! Kawaii tender moment is cute."

For some reason, Bakura decided to hug back. "If you had put the word 'shipping' at the end of that word..."

"Aqua didn't need to show me those lists for me to know that tendershipping is number 2 on your list of favorite shippings."

Bakura freed himself from the hug and stood up. "Just because I like it doesn't mean I think it should happen." He held out a hand to Ryou.

Ryou grabbed the hand and allowed Bakura to help him to his feet. He looked like he was about to say something, but he was cut off by the sound of the doorbell ringing.

Ryou's eyes widened. "Marik and Melvin are back," he said in a monotone.

Bakura turned to the bathroom door. "How did you know that?" he asked as he walked to the door.

Ryou followed. "I heard through the mind link. Melvin and Marik are back from talking to Slenderman, and they rang the bell so they wouldn't catch us by surprise."

"Damn, you're nosy. You have way too much in common with me."

Ryou frowned. "You just had to remind me..." he muttered.

Bakura opened the door and walked out of the bathroom, Ryou following close behind. "Stop worrying about it. I'll deal with you more later."

Ryou nodded. "Fine."


TEH LOLZ THO XDXDXDXD

This chapter was just a little reminder that the plot points of this fanfic in the trilogy are supposed to be centered around Ryou (we knew that from the very beginning), and the whole batwings thing as well, in case you've forgotten. The title should remind you plenty enough, but some people just need a little reminder, you know.

Hope you didn't flip too many tables of break the screen of whatever device you're using to read this! XD

See you next chapter!

BYEEEEEEEEEEEE~!
