OH MY GOSH. 3 reviews in 2 days. That made me so flipping happy people. Most people would say that's not a lot, but hey it's a new story and im going out into the FF world with a concept of mine, so YES, I THINK ITS A LOT. Oh, and don't think that I'm ignoring the reviews and stuff, I just check my stories on my little LG Rumor Touch, and Mobile FF kind of sucks.

Oh, and I had the wonderful Dark Blood Lust give me some constructive critism. Let me just give you a shoutout:

You noticed it too? That chapter wasn't my most descriptive, I'll definitely admit that. I really didn't know where I was going with the last chapter, honestly ^^; and the thing with this story is, NONE OF IT IS WRITTEN DOWN. No, really. I just sit down and I type the chapters for hours XD so literally, I just type whatever comes to mind. I guess in the last chappie my mind wasn't in the most creative state = A = but thank you SOOOOOOOOOO much for the constructive criticism, I'll try to meet your expectations next time!

I'm going to need everyones feed back though so that I have a happy bunch of friends :D But let me stop rambling, I'll tell you about it in the ending authors note thingy. Enjoy!

Chapter 6

"You can't leave!" Ryou cried, shaking his head in defiance, tears spilling from his eyes. His hands were clenched into trembling fists as he yelled at the translucent figure before him.

"Its not up for debate, Yadonoushi." Bakura said in a strained voice, not looking Ryou in the face for fear of losing his control.

"But all of this time," Ryou sobbed desperately, "All of this time we've coexisted with one another- -"

"All of this time we've coexisted WHAT?" Bakura growled dangerously, finally snapping his eyes open to glare at his host. "Why can't you just HATE me for Ra's sake? What the hell's the matter with you?" He roared, storming up to Ryou and clasping his hands around his throat, slamming him against the wall. "you made a horrible mistake by coming into our soul room Yadonoushi-kun…" Bakura sneered, a sadistic smirk playing on his lips. Ryou coughed and sputtered, clawing at his attackers hands.

"Bakura!"

"Say you hate me."

"Bakura…!"

"Say you hate me!"

"NO!"

Bakura blinked in surprise at the defiance his host so boldly displayed, but narrowed his eyes in disgust, tossing the boy to the ground with a scoff.

"Why the hell not!" He demanded, stepping on Ryou's head and grinding his heel into his skull to make a point to answer quickly.

"Because…I don't!" Ryou whimpered, beginning to dry once more. Bakura gasped softly, the response nearly knocked him off of his feet, so much though that he had to grab the wall for support. He watched with widened eyes as Ryou stood shakily, his knees wobbling in the effort. Bakura stared. He simply stared.

"What the hell is WRONG with you?" He screeched, practically launching himself at Ryou, bowling him over and pinning him to the ground savagely. "Don't you know what I DID to you?" he hissed, snatching the petrified teens sleeve up to reveal a jagged and angry scar. "Didn't it HURT?" He continued, grabbing his hand and showing the small crescent shaped scar Ryou received when his hand was gored during dungeon dice monsters. "Don't you know what I did to your FRIENDS? Your Family?"

"Yes!" Ryou hollered, terror laced in his voice. His tears flowed uncontrollably now, and his body shuddered violently in fear. Bakura released him and simply sat on his abdomen, glowering down at him.

"But…" Ryou began, his voice shaking. "But I could never HATE you! My friends don't even really talk to me anymore! Father is never here, mother and Amane and mother are dead. You of all people know that." He said, his eyes glistening with sadness. Bakura softened a bit , shifting his leer to across the room then back at his host.

"Despite all of the things you've done to me though," Ryou began again. "I can never bring myself to hate you…"

"Why, Yadonoushi?" Bakura snarled.

"Because you've always been there when no one else was." Ryou replied, staring straight into Bakura's eyes. "When no one would talk to me at all of the other schools, I found comfort in the millennium ring. When mother passed away, when Amane died… I always knew you were there." He said, barely above a whisper. "You stuck up for me when I got bullied because of how I looked… and you kept me company when father went on his exhibitions…"

"Y-yadonoushi…" Bakura stuttered, his eyes wide in genuine surprise.

"That's why you can't leave!" Ryou yelled, sitting up abruptly and knocking Bakura onto his back and pinning his hands to the floor.

"Oof!" He grunted, taken by surprise and glaring up at his host angrily.

"Because if you leave…If you leave I'll be all alone…! So please don't go Bakura…! I n-need you…don't leave me all by myself…please!" Ryou sobbed, lowering himself onto Bakura and hugging him tightly, on the verge of hysterics.

"It's not something I can control Yadonoushi-kun… the purpose I came to serve, well, heh… it's all over now." Bakura chuckled sullenly, feeling sorry for the young boy. It really wasn't in his control. He only had a brief moment before the shadows swallowed his wayward soul whole, and knowing this his host went out of his way, putting himself at stake once more, to bid him farewell. It was heart wrenching, but Bakura would never willingly admit that. "Ra, just say you hate me dammit!" he shouted.

"Why?" Ryou asked softly, gazing into Bakura's scarlet eyes.

"It'll make saying goodbye so much goddamn easier…!" Bakura said, his voice cracking slightly. He finally lost his hold and hot tears slid down his reddened face as he gripped Ryou tightly in a desperate embrace. He knew his time was coming, in account of the almost excruciating pressure he felt in his chest. It always hurts to go to the shadow realm. He's been there PLENTY of times. Noticing his hand starting to fade in and out of visibility, he prepared himself for one of the most painful experiences he's felt in millennia. Having to say goodbye to someone you love.

"I'm sorry Ryou…" He whimpered, his grip beginning to loosen involuntarily as his already translucent figure began to dissipate painfully. He felt that this was the best time as any to use the boy's name, seeing as he never used it in the first place.

"Bakura?" Ryou gasped, noticing the degeneration his yami was going through.

"You'll have to be stronger without me, Ryou. I don't want to come back and you're useless as my host because you've been injured. I doubt I'd find another like you…" Bakura sighed, wincing as he took in a breath.

Ryou stood quickly, an agonized expression on his face. "No..! Don't go!"

Bakura clenched his fists tightly and bit his bottom lip, trying to prevent himself from saying anything too emotional. He might accidently kill the boy.

"I'll leave you with just this, eh? Just…don't cry anymore alright?" He said, blushing softly and running a hand through his lunar colored tresses. He was taking a chance here, but if it would make the kid feel better then he was willing to do it. He was half worried he might freak out because of everything he put him through, but oh well.

"What do you mean?" Ryou asked, wiping a tear from his eye.

"This." Bakura said with a smirk, pressing his lips to Ryou's gently, relishing the sweet tastes of his warm mouth. Ryou reacted in a way that neither of them would have expected. Moaning softly, he wrapped his arms around Bakura's neck, bringing their bodies together. Bakura sighed pleasurably, running his fingers through his host's hair. If he would've known that this was such an experience, he would've done it sooner…

"Mm, Ryou, enough, enough Yadounoshi." Bakura moaned, forcing himself to pull away before he got too into the whole thing. He held back a shout when an unbearable throbbing wracked his body, and he almost disappeared in entirety.

"Bakura?"

"Goodbye, Yadonoushi-kun…"

Ryou awakened with a start, looking around the room in alarm.

"Ugh, why am I dreaming about that day…" he groaned, standing stiffly from the couch with a wince. Peering over into the kitchen, the clock read 3:47AM. Bakura had been gone for almost 3 and a half hours.

"Darn it… he better not have gotten himself hurt…" he said, limping into the hall and pulling on a sweater. He had to go find him, but he knew better than to go wandering around downtown by himself. He didn't want a replay of earlier, he thought with a shudder. Flipping open his cell phone, he browsed through his contacts hurriedly, looking for one specific friend of his.

A slight drizzle pittered on Marik's window, gently pulling him out of his sleep.

"Ugh…" he moaned, groggily checking the time. This is one of the reasons he hated living in Japan sometimes. In Egypt, he didn't have to deal with incessant precipitation. Craning his neck to peek over his shoulder, he

noticed with a sigh that his yami was still sleeping. Nothing ever woke him up. Sliding out of their king sized bed, he padded down the hallway in his simple pajamas, consisting of a black tank top, some boxers, and a pair of mixed up socks. The one thing he simply hated the most was the strange shadows that the night cast on the walls of his apartment. Images of ogres and other disgusting beasts teased and laughed at him, cackling at his apparent fear. Of course, that was only in his head. There weren't really any monsters or goblins and ghouls. They were simply cats that strode about fences, or branches that tapped on his window. Still, he nearly broke into a full on sprint when he felt his cell phone vibrate against his hip. His yami told him not to put it there when he wasn't wearing something with pockets, something about interfering with your ability to have children. What'd he care about children anyways? He didn't have a girlfriend. It wasn't because he didn't want one, he just…Didn't want to think about it. Pulling the phone from the elastic of his shorts, he squinted his eyes against the bright screen.

"Open ur door! I have a special ? to ask u nd I need ur help!" Read a text from Ryou, whose name was under "Puff Puff". He wouldn't tell him that though because he was sure he'd be skinned alive. Flipping his phone open to the side, he quickly replied to the short message.

"Do u kno wat time it iz? Malik will have a fit if I leave."

Snapping it closed again, he stuffed the compact phone back into his shorts and proceeded to the bathroom, his initial destination.

"Shoot—geez!" He shouted, nearly dropping his phone in the open basin when he pulled his boxers down and it vibrated spastically. "Can you text any faster…?" He pondered as he glared at the screen and read the message begrudgingly.

"I gtg find Bakura, something happened and he isn't back yet. Tell malik his new BFF is in trouble. Plz just let me in, im outside!"

With a huff, he quickly finished his business and washed his hands quickly, not even bothering to dry them. The quicker he woke Malik up, the sooner he could get in on this 'something' that the white haired teen was talking about.

"Malik…" he whispered at first, shaking his shoulder gently. The blonde sank down into the covers until only his unruly hair poked from under the sheets. Quickly growing annoyed, he yanked the comforters off savagely and flicked water in the Yami's face, smirking when his eyes opened slightly.

"What." He ground out, squeezing his eyes shut and scrunching his eyebrows together.

"ADVENTURE TIME WITH RYOU AND MARIK!" He shouted, bouncing on the bed with his knees.

"…Go away."

"Come on! It's important, and Ryou says Bakura's in trouble!"

"When did he say this?"

"He texted me just now, and I think he's outside the door."

"You know I don't trust the technology of this world. Are you sure he's outside?"

"YES."

"Did you check?"

"…"

With that, Marik flicked the hallway light on and dashed down the hall excitedly, restraining a giggle as he flung the door open and nearly smacked into the unbalanced white head.

"Ouch! Geez Marik can you watch where you're going?" Ryou growled, briefly resembling his Yami, who was missing at the time. His pajamas clung to his body, as there was now a steady rainfall outside.

"Gosh Ryou, you looked like a drowned puppy." Marik snickered, giggling when his friend punched him in the shoulder lightly.

"I'm serious Marik, Something really bad happened a few hours ago…" Ryou said, bringing his voice down to a whisper when he noticed the taller blonde appear from their bedroom.

"Well, fill me in buddy." Marik whispered, not knowing why he was lowering his voice but following suit anyways.

"I'll tell you about the entire situation later, but just know that he took is millennium ring—"

"He took the RING?" Marik shouted incredulously, yelping when a pale hand smacked across his mouth.

"Shhh!"

"Too late, Hikari-kun." Malik said, frowning disapprovingly. "You allowed an…unstable individual such as Bakura leave the house with the Millennium ring? I assume you remember what that caused before, correct?" Malik scoffed, crossing his arms.

"Well, I tired but I couldn't move—er, move him, so…" Ryou blundered, not wanting to worry the two of Tsukoshi just yet. He wanted to know that his yami was safe before he broke the news to the blondes. They would be in just as much rage as Bakura had been in, and he definitely didn't want a recap of the evening.

"Do you have any idea what his motives are?" Marik asked, a serious tone in his voice.

"Do you even have to ask?" Ryou sighed, hanging his head down low. "I hate to say it, but since its shadow magic no one will ever find the bodies…"

Malik nodded morbidly, knowing all too well the powerful forces of shadow magic.

"I need you guys to help me find him." Ryou said, looking deep into the blonde yami's lilac eyes.

"All over it buddy!" Marik shouted from down the hall, standing on his tip toes to grab the millennium rod from out of their towel closet. Ryou smiled warmly and embraced the two before slipping his shoes on and heading out the door quickly, Malik and Marik close behind.

"Eheh…" Bakura chuckled, smiling widely. His clothes were soaked completely in blood, and the rain made it seep off into small translucent red streams along the ground. He marveled at his body, and giggled childishly as the rain washed away what was left of his victims. His resurrection would come to be, quite soon

"I'll soon be revived and powerful…" He cackled. "Once my plan comes together that is…"

He was aware of a faint shouting in the back of his mind, but he skillfully ignored it and continued to scan his surroundings. The complaints of his host were no concern to him, as the complaints of his host's host weren't a concern to him either.

BAAAAAAAH. Short chapter is short. Honestly, I had typed the chapter, and I finished it like a week and a half ago, but then I just never got to post it. I apologize in advance for any complaints, and I give you permission to throw rotted fruit -_-

Good news is, I PASSED MY WRITING STATE EXAM :D In virgina they call it SOL's (Standards of learning) So im completely pleased with what I got. Ok, so the scoring system is like, 400 points is passing, 500 is passed advanced, and 600 is IMPOSSIBLE TO GET UNLESS YOU'RE A GENIUS. Anyways, I got a 497!

That's good. Because I thought I was going to get like a 300. And that's failing miserably. But I almoooossst got passed advanced, I just got 2 multiple choice questions wrong. *RAGE FACE* I swear when I got the results and found out they were multiple choice questions, I went super saiyan. IT'S OVER 9,000.

Lol. But yes, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! My favorite part this chapter was the flashback Mainly because I woke up out of a dead sleep to write it. It was like 4 in the morning on a Saturday and I think I was dreaming about…Get this. CORNDOGS. Yeah, it was an intense dream too. People were dying o_O Anyfliggums, (WTF?) I woke up, crawled out of bed and got my notebook and began writing! I changed a few things, like before I typed it, it was like a lot shorter and way less heartbreaking LOL. I decided to be mean and make it sadder than it was originally.

THIS AUTHOR THINGY IS LONG.

I think I said I'd tell you the details of what I said in the pre-story aurthor thingy right? Well, the bribe is, I'll write you guys ANY LEMON, ONE SHOT, OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT, WITH ANY PAIRING, if you give me at least 3 reviews this chapter. *INCENTIVE INCENTIVE*
