6/8/07 Edit: I've had a horrid bout of Nostalgia and have decided to do a bit of editing on each chapter and hopefully finish this. Cheers.
I had no clue where this was going, then I had a BRAINWAVE! OI! So yeah this is it, It was actually quite funny reading over the previous chapters to write this one. I am SO lame XD
But I'd like to take the chance now to thank everyone who has reviewed and read this. Feedback is what keeps me writing. So thanks again.

Chapter Four
What You Have To Do
Ryou tossed and turned for the second night in a row. He just couldn't figure out why though.
- Hikari are you awake? -
Ryou jumped slightly as Bakura's voice came into his head.
/ Yeah, what's wrong/ Ryou answered through the link.
- I'm coming into your room. -
/ What? Why/
A few seconds later Ryou heard Bakuras footsteps coming towards his door.
"Bakura …?" Ryou questioned, as his Yami walked into the dark room.
"I'm sleeping with you." Bakura said simply laying down next to Ryou.
"W-why?" Ryou stuttered, glad the darkness was hiding his blushing face.
"Because neither of us will get any sleep otherwise. Now go to sleep."
"Bu-"
Bakura placed a finger to Ryou's lips silencing him.
- Do you really not want me here? -
Ryou sighed / No, It's ok. /
Ryou could have sworn he saw Bakura smile although it was dark.
- Now Sleep -
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Ryou slowly opened his eyes as the alarm kept beeping. As his vision cleared he took a sharp breath in. His forehead was resting against Bakuras and they were in very close proximity.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
The alarm was still going.
'Fuck!' Ryou swore to himself and slowly moved leaning over Bakura to turn the damn thing off.
- Hikari what ARE you doing? -
"Epp!" Ryou squeaked startled, falling on top of Bakura.
"Don't do that!" Ryou said exasperated, climbing off his Yami.
"Not my fault you're scared of everything Ryou." Bakura said sitting up.
"I am n- did you just call me Ryou?"
Bakura blinked, "So? It's your name isn't it?"
"But – You – never mind."
Bakura rolled his eyes. "Don't you have to go to that prison of yours soon?" he asked.
"Yeah, but I have time." Ryou yawned flopping back down on the bed, Bakura followed the suit.
"Sleep well?" Bakura asked his Hikari.
"Yes, actually, how did you –"
Ring.
Ring.
"-who would call this early in the morning!" Ryou cried climbing over Bakura and out of bed to answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"Ryou, it's Malik. Listen I need you to get to school as soon as possible."
"Er, why?"
"I'll explain when you get there. Bring Bakura too and meet be out the back by the unused classrooms"
"Fine, this better be important Malik."
"Heh, You don't know just how important it is."
And Malik hung up. Ryou sighed, Malik really needed to work on his phone conversational skills.
"Bakura! Get ready now Malik apparently has something important to discuss with us." Ryou yelled down the hall.
"Why didn't he just tell you over that-that talking thing?"
"The phone?"
"I knew that."
"Liar." Ryou said with a smirk."And I don't know why just move it."
"Malik, what is going on?" Yugi asked trying not to yawn.
"Ok …" Malik started, the other Yami and Hikari's looking at him in anticipation for the reason they were made to get up so early. "Ishizu got one of her 'visions' last night."
"And?" Bakura pushed.
"And she saw that if you Yami's don't 'prove' that you deserve to stay here you'll go back to being spirits" Malik continued.
"But we'd be able to bring them back again right?" Ryou asked, a worried look now spread across his face.
Malik shook his head. "That's the thing. Once they go back it's permanent."
Everyone went silent.
"How long do we have?" Yami asked coldly
"10pm Thursday." Malik replied.
"And who the hell decided that?!" Bakura burst out.
"We cast the ritual at 4 pm, and it took effect at 10 pm. 6 hours. 6 days." Malik answered. "We'll figure something out. Don't worry" he said trying to reassure them all.
"Maybe you should fix the toaster?" Marik suggested to Yami as the trio wandered around Domino city until their Hikari's would be out of school.
"Yeah, right after Bakura fixes the dent in the wall." Yami said with a smirk.
"Yeah, how about you try this Pharaoh. Shutting the hell up!" Bakura yelled.
"Must you always attract attention to us?" Yami asked staring back at the people who were staring at them.
"Yes, just to spite you."
"Awww, you like me just so much you go to all that trouble." Yami said sarcastically
Bakura stared at him wide eyed. "Sarcasm or not. Don't you EVER say anything like that again. You sick bastard."
I like that finishing line. I hope that made up for shocking lack of updates. R+R if you would
