Zenk you for ze reviewz. (that's "Thank you for the reviews" with a very Dutch accent) Geez, Ryou is been popular. Everybody hugs and kisses him... Aren't you happy, Ryou?
Ryou: OO" (stares at a big wolf licking his nose)
Ryou-Ran: Uh... Hikari Lunar? NO! You can't eat Ryou!
Ryou: Help... tell her I taste absolutely horrible... (almost blacks out)
Ryou-Ran: Wait, I've got an idea. (writes something on a sheet of paper, attaches paper to Ryou's forehead)
Wolf: (begins to whimper, runs away)
Ryou: What did you write down on that paper? (removes paper and reads it)
Paper: "TOXIC!"
Ryou: --"
Ryou-Ran: Good, huh? (big smile)
Ryou: Very.
Yami Bakura: Aaargh...
Ryou-Ran: You okay, Yami?
Yami Bakura: She threw me through a wall... ow...
Ryou-Ran: Huh? I mean: I thought I had installed a make-sure-Yami-does-not- run-into-walls-any-more-because-he-always-forgets-only-Shaadi-can-do-that- trick-wall.
Ryou: Yes, but that only goes for Yami Yugi and not for my Yami.
Ryou-Ran: Oh. We should perhaps do something about that.
Yami Bakura: Yes. Send Hikari Lunar to the Shadow Realm.
Ryou-Ran: NO!
Yami Bakura: But then you don't have install such a wall! Hey, that rimed. (sings) I wanna install... a Yami-proof wall...
Ryou & Ryou-Ran: --"
Yugi: (walks in) Wow, it's kind of cosy in here.
Yami Bakura: (Elvis-style) I wanna install, yeah, baby, a Yami-proof wall, oh yeah! (swings his hips around and points one finger at the sky)
Yugi: OO"
Yami Bakura: BOOM BABY!
Touzokuou: (wakes up) Ungh... what in Ra's name is going on here?
Ryou-Ran: Yami Bakura wants to install a Yami-proof wall.
Touzokuou: Hey, that rimed! We are gonna install a Yami-proof wall... lalala...
Ryou: Let's install a Yami-proof wall...
Ryou-Ran: No, Ryou. Not you too!
Ryou: I'm sorry, Ryou-Ran! I'm a Bakura too!
Ryou-Ran: (leans on Yugi's shoulder) Please save me, Yuge...
Yugi: Let's start the fic and then we'll get over with it.
Ryou-Ran: Yes, good idea. Touzokuou, you do the disclaimer.
Touzokuou: Why don't we install a Yami-proof disclaim... heh?
Yugi: --"I'll do it. Ahem: Ryou-Ran does not own any cards, no characters, no Millennium Items, no KaibaCorps-key... to make a long disclaimer a short one: She does not own Yu-Gi-Oh!
Ryou-Ran: No... I believe Konami does. Okay, Let's start.
Yami Bakura
Yami Bakura had patiently waited until Ryou had finished screaming. Ryou was totally exhausted and was too weak to even tilt his head. Yami Bakura grinned. "It's the power of the Shadow Realm. It sucks away all power out of the souls of the mortals and the other Yamis. Only I am able to stand this."he said. Ryou blinked a few times and saw everything became foggy. His Yami had become a white spott. The spott moved closer. He felt a hand grab his wrists. He felt new energy enter his body. He was surprised when he noticed Yami Bakura was pumping energy into his body. He lifted his head up and could clearly see the face of his Yami. It displaced a grimace. Giving Ryou energy seemed to hurt him, or at least cause discomfort. "Why?"Ryou softly asked. Yami Bakura released him. "I want you to see the entire show. I can't have you blacking out while I'm still busy."he said, his voice sounding pained. He shook his own hand a bit and sighed. He walked over to the window again, rendering Ryou thinking he would rather have passed out. "This is the last part, Omote."Yami Bakura said. He lay a flat hand on the window. When he removed it the image of Ryou sitting on his knees on the floor had vanished, but was replaced by an image of Yami Bakura sitting in his soul room.
Yami Bakura looked at the boy wearing the Puzzle. The Millennium Ring had felt the energy of the Puzzle and had warned him. Ryou had seen one of the pointers pointing at it, but did not seem to understand what that meant.
Yami Bakura cupped his chin in his hands. He wanted that Puzzle. But he knew that in order to get it he would have to beat the owner. He had done that in the past. He had won the Ring that way. He played with the Ring and listened at the five pointers jingle.
Suddenly an idea struck him like a meteorite falling from the sky. The Duelist Kingdom! Ryou had heard from Yugi that he planned to go there with Joey, Téa and Tristan. There Yami Bakura could challenge Yugi and win the Puzzle. Yami Bakura was very proud and spent the next few hours congratulating himself with that idea. Then he began planting an idea in Ryou's mind.
Ryou thought it would be fun if he could follow Yugi and the rest to the Duelist Kingdom and watch Yugi and Joey play. He boarded the same ship as the gang.
A few days later Yami Bakura had disguised himself as Ryou and had surprised the gang by suddenly showing up. He asked them about their favorite cards and Ryou surprised everyone by telling them his favorite card was Change of Heart. Then he challenged Yugi for a duel, just for fun. Yugi agreed, but suddenly Yami Bakura popped out of the Ring and sent everybody to the Shadow Realm. When he reached for the Puzzle another Yami suddenly appeared. Yami Bakura was horrified. He recognised the purple eyes, the spiked hair and the small built. It was King Yami, the Pharaoh Yami Bakura had murdered more than five-thousand years ago. Yami Bakura was now sure he had to win and get that Puzzle. He was nevertheless glad when he noticed the Pharaoh did not recognise him. So he began the duel, but thanks to his own Hikari he lost.
Yami Bakura was unconscious. He lay flat on his back on the floor of his soul room. The attack from the little Yugi had made him lose much of his power.
Yami Bakura fluttered his eyelids and sat up. He wanted that Puzzle. But perhaps he should go after another Millennium Item first. The Millennium Eye of Pegasus. Yami Bakura knew the Eye did not host another Yami. As far as he knew only the Puzzle did and Shaadi, who owned the Millennium Key and the Millennium Scales was no Yami. But Yami Bakura was still weak and needed Ryou's power to gain more strength. It was in the middle of the night and Ryou was asleep. Yami Bakura went to Ryou's soul room and found the soul of his Hikari sleeping, just like the real Ryou. He grabbed the wrists of the soul and lifted him up from the floor. He activated his Ring and felt Ryou's energy flow into his own body. When he had gathered enough energy he let go of the soul, who was now unconscious.
The following morning the gang would have much of troubles waking Ryou and Ryou would be weak for the rest of the day.
Yami and Yugi beat Pegasus. Yami Bakura had attempted to exchange Ryou's body for the soulless body of Mokuba Kaiba, but Tristan had slapped him in the neck, so both Ryou and Yami Bakura blacked out. He had removed the Ring from Ryou's neck and had thrown it into the woods, but Yami Bakura was full of power, and as soon as he had come around, he had transported the Ring back to Ryou. Then he went to pay Pegasus a visit and had very much annoyed the older man. Pegasus had tried to use the power of his Eye on him, but Yami Bakura had activated the Ring. A red beam of energy coming from the Eye collided with a blue beam of power coming from the Ring. The blue beam was stronger. It slammed Pegasus into the wall and Yami Bakura only had to pull the Eye out of Pegasus' head and replace it by the fake eye Ryou had gotten from Yugi. Yami Bakura looked at the red blood running down Pegasus' cheek. The Eye and Yami Bakura's hand were convered with it as well. Yami Bakura licked the blood from his hand and the Eye.
As soon as they were back at Ryou's Ryou became sick and spent most of the time hanging with his head above the toilet. Yami Bakura had forgotten humans get sick when they swallow too much blood. He watched Ryou from his soul room. He played with the Eye and the Ring. Two in the pocket, five more to go.
Weeks later Ryou was calmly walking down the street when Téa ran past him at top speed. "Hey, Téa, why such a hurry?"Ryou happily shouted after her. (quotes are roughly translated from Dutch into English, so they might not be similair to the things characters say in the American and Japanese series) Téa stopped running. "Oh, Bakura!"she panted. "Someone stole the Millennium Puzzle!" Ryou was shocked. "No! Where is Yugi?"he asked. Téa pointed at a place behind Ryou. "In that alley."she said. "We are trying to catch him together!" "Then don't let me waste your time! Go on, then I'll get help!"Ryou said. Téa ran away. Yami Bakura came out and went after the Puzzle, using his Ring. When he found Yugi the Puzzle had been broken. He allowed Ryou to come out and knock Bandit Keith out. Ryou gathered the pieces of the Puzzle, but Yami Bakura had one piece still in his hand. Without Yugi and Ryou noticing he placed part of his soul into the piece.
After that Yami Bakura went back into his soul room while Ryou walked back to school. Yami Bakura lay down on the floor and fell asleep, content about himself.
Ryou was on the floor in his room. He cringed and clutched at his thin chest. "Listen, Yadonushi!"a voice sounded inside his head. "You are going to the center of Domino City. You've heard of that tournament Kaiba has organised, haven't you?" Ryou groaned and nodded. "I can feel there all the Millennium Items are going to be there, in Battle City, the Puzzle too. I want that Puzzle."Yami Bakura whispered. Ryou rolled over to his back and cried out. "Shut up! SHUT UP!"Yami Bakura bellowed. "Do you want anybody to hear you?" Ryou clenched his jaw and managed to become silent. "Aaaoooh, why?"he moaned. "Because I want all the Millennium Items and become the greatest being on earth!"Yami Bakura snarled. "That's why!" Ryou cramped his eyes shut. "Yugi... will... stop... you! Why... don't... you... give... up?"he cried. Yami Bakura's eyes radiated an ice-cold blue light. "Don't ever use that name in my presence!"he hissed. He emanated waves of pure evilness. Ryou screamed out and bent his body in all kinds of impossible postures. "I want the Items and become the master of this world! Everybody will fall to their knees before Touzokuou Bakura-Sama; Yami Bakura!"Yami Bakura yelled. He laughed loudly.
So Ryou went to Battle City and met Joey, Téa, Tristan and Grandpa Muto there. Before they ran into him Yami Bakura had felt the dark energy of a Millennium Item, the Millennium Rod. He followed his Ring and took the risk of Ryou being crushed by Marik's motorcycle. Marik and Yami Bakura exchanged a few insults so here and there, boasted about their powers and walked to a lonely pier. "So."Marik said. "Are you willing to help me?" Yami Bakura said nothing. His hand went into his jacket pocket and came out with a knife. He stared at Marik, licked the knife and then plunged it in his arm, laughing out loud.
Much later Yami Bakura was once again lying flat on his back in his soul room. Worthless Bakura! He had allowed his host to come out, hoping Yami would not attack with Slifer the Sky Dragon. He had looked down at Ryou, who was totally desoriented and and begging for help. But Marik had made him unsure. "What if he does not want to lose the tournament?"he had asked, and then grinned evilly. Yami Bakura had growled and looked down at Ryou. "Please, help me!"Ryou had cried. "I really don't feel well! I've got to lie down somewhere quickly! Help!" Yami Bakura showed his teeth in an unpleasant grin. "Marik, I've got to help him."he had said. "I need Bakura. He has got the Millennium Ring, and my soul. I have to protect him." He had activated the Ring and had returned to Ryou's body, while Marik screamed in shock and frustration. "I'm back, Yugi!"the evil Yami had yelled and had then spread his arms, so Yami could attack.
Yami Bakura rubbed his head. It was just like in old Egypt... Then he had spread his arms too, to sacrifice himself to get more time. But then an arrow had hit him in the chest and killed him. Now he had been attacked by an Egyptian God-card, that had blown him off his socks, out of Ryou's body and that had launched the Ring too. The Yami was puzzled. His Ring was not around Ryou's neck, he could see that. The corridor that usually led to Ryou's soul room now led to a grey wall. He could feel a dark power that stopped him from leaving the Ring and taking a closer look. The power of the Millennium Rod.
Suddenly he felt the energy of more Millennium Items. He tried to take a look, but he did not see anything. The power was close, really close. It was like the source of it was standing in front of Ryou's bed. Yami Bakura searched his memory for the powers he felt and discovered the Millennium Items were the Millennium Key and the Millennium Scales. That meant Shaadi was present on that... how did Ryou call that thing? Air ship? Yami Bakura would usually search Ryou's memory for if he saw something he did not understand, but now he could not reach the mind of the boy.
Yami Bakura did not feel helpless, or something. Fate was on his side. He knew the Ring would eventually return to Ryou. It did not matter how, it would just happen. And at that exact moment he felt the energy of another spirit, a third Yami. And then he knew he would soon be returned to Ryou's body and that he could come back in action again.
He was right. Téa left the room and came back later with the Millennium Ring in her hands. Yami Bakura had fallen asleep and did not know there was onather soul that had sneaked into his Ring. Téa lay the Ring down on Ryou's pillow, besides his head. The Ring began to glow. Ryou opened his eyes, but it weren't his own eyes. They were Yami Bakura's and the Yami was confused. What the heck was Marik doing inside his soul room? He wanted to kick the Egyptian man out at first, but Marik made an interesting proposal. If Yami Bakura could beat Yami Marik in a duel, Marik would give him the Millennium Rod. Yami Bakura did not hesitate a second, but immediately agreed. He attached his duel disc to his arm and went to Odion's room, where he could feel the energy of the strange Yami.
Yami Marik seemed amused to see him. "Oh, you're that fool that is trying to gather the seven Millennium Items, aren't you?"he said. Yami Bakura narrowed his eyes. "That's right. And your better half is going to give me a hand."he said. Yami Marik appeared to find everything very amusing, and attacked Yami Bakura using the Millennium Rod. He was sure he had beaten the older Yami, but the next moment he was caught in a tower of golden flames that made him cry out. "I can't move! Stop it!"he cried. Yami Bakura had used the powers of his Millennium Ring and had proven he was not so weak at all. The two Yami's decided they should have a duel over the Millennium Items. The loser would go to the Shadow Realm.
The duel didn't go very well. Yami Bakura and Marik were very bad at working together and spent lots of time shouting at each other and calling each other names. Yami Marik was having the best time of his life at the other side of the field. He almost lost it when Marik told Yami Bakura to be careful with their life points he almost lost it. "If you want that Rod you have to be more careful with our life points."Marik said. Yami Bakura exploded. "What do you mean 'our life points', parasite? I'm the one dueling here!"he barked. "Even worse: Thanks to you I could not play the Winged Dragon of Ra!" Marik was furious. "And thanks to you we've lost so many points!"he screamed. Yami Marik looked dreamy-eyed at the dark sky of the Shadow Realm. "Aw, how painfull."He said. "I feel so sorry to see two good friends fight with each other. Don't forget my Vengeful Bok (I absolutely don't know how to write the name of that card) is still active." Yami Bakura was distracted. "I know that card is still active. And if you want to return the Winged Dragon of Ra from the graveyard I should really do that."he meowed, showing Yami Marik an angry fist.
But Yami Marik had played the Winged Dragon of Ra again and had used the special "direct strike" and the "point-for-point-exchange-gift" (the names of attacks in YGO have been translated into Dutch, the English names are different, I think) and had attacked Yami Bakura's life points directly. Marik had vanished, only the two Yamis were still on the field. Most of Yami Marik was attached to the Winged Dragon of Ra, but Yami Bakura was slowly dissolving into white smoke. "It's time for you to be swallowed by eternal darkness."Yami Marik said. Yami Bakura chuckled. "But don't you know I am that darkness?"he softly asked, with a grin on his face. Yami Marik chuckled too. "And what do you mean?"he asked. Yami Bakura raised his head. The shadows were consuming his face and chest. "Simple. I cannot be destroyed. You haven't gotten rid of me yet!"he answered, as the darkness ate the last bit of him. A harsh laugh sounded as the Ring began to fall and hit the ground with a chilling "cling".
Yami Bakura had left part of himself inside the Puzzle before and decided to check the Puzzle out and study the power of the Pharaoh. But somehow the rest of him had come back too and had returned to the Ring, that had returned to Ryou. Who was now sitting on a rock in the soul room of his evil half.
"See, Bakura? That's real pain. My family was killed, I have been killed, I try so hard to accomplish something, but every time it goes wrong. That hurts."the Yami said. Ryou groaned, rolled his head around and then let it fall onto his chest. Yami Bakura snapped his fingers. Ryou was no longer attached to the rock and fell off, face in the cold sand. Yami Bakura turned him to his back and saw the soul of the boy had lost consciousness. He picked him up and carried him through the corridor to Ryou's soul room. He gently lay him down on the floor. Ryou's bangs covered his forehead. His cheeks had an unhealthy, pink color.
Yami Bakura brushed the white bangs away and pressed his lips against Ryou's forehead. "Oyasumi, Yadonushi."he said.
This was the last chapter. Again a long one. I hope you liked it. Half way across I became hopelessly stuck and just decided to go on following the series.
Oh, yeah, Bakura is in danger because Murai-Sakura forces him to watch Blues Clues. What's the big deal? Blues Clues has been dubbed. The dub- voice for Steve is Ryou's. The actor who provides the voices for Ryou and Yami Bakura is the same actor who dubs the voices of Steve from Blues Clues and Kai from Beyblade. That's freaky, but very funny as well. I can mention another fourty characters that guy did, but I'm not going to do that. Only in YGO he does more than six characters already.

Yami Bakura
Yami Bakura had patiently waited until Ryou had finished screaming. Ryou was totally exhausted and was too weak to even tilt his head. Yami Bakura grinned. "It's the power of the Shadow Realm.

Much later Yami Bakura was once again lying flat on his back in his soul room. Worthless Bakura! He had allowed his host to come out, hoping Yami would not attack with Slifer the Sky Dragon. He had looked down at Ryou, who was totally desoriented and and begging for help. But Marik had made him unsure. "What if he does not want to lose the tournament?"he had asked, and then grinned evilly. Yami Bakura had growled and looked down at Ryou. "Please, help me!"Ryou had cried. "I really don't feel well! I've got to lie down somewhere quickly! Help!" Yami Bakura showed his teeth in an unpleasant grin. "Marik, I've got to help him."he had said. "I need Bakura. He has got the Millennium Ring, and my soul. I have to protect him." He had activated the Ring and had returned to Ryou's body, while Marik screamed in shock and frustration. "I'm back, Yugi!"the evil Yami had yelled and had then spread his arms, so Yami could attack.
Yami Bakura rubbed his head. It was just like in old Egypt... Then he had spread his arms too, to sacrifice himself to get more time. But then an arrow had hit him in the chest and killed him. Now he had been attacked by an Egyptian God-card, that had blown him off his socks, out of Ryou's body and that had launched the Ring too. The Yami was puzzled. His Ring was not around Ryou's neck, he could see that. The corridor that usually led to Ryou's soul room now led to a grey wall. He could feel a dark power that stopped him from leaving the Ring and taking a closer look. The power of the Millennium Rod.
Suddenly he felt the energy of more Millennium Items. He tried to take a look, but he did not see anything. The power was close, really close. It was like the source of it was standing in front of Ryou's bed. Yami Bakura searched his memory for the powers he felt and discovered the Millennium Items were the Millennium Key and the Millennium Scales. That meant Shaadi was present on that... how did Ryou call that thing? Air ship? Yami Bakura would usually search Ryou's memory for if he saw something he did not understand, but now he could not reach the mind of the boy.
Yami Bakura did not feel helpless, or something. Fate was on his side. He knew the Ring would eventually return to Ryou. It did not matter how, it would just happen. And at that exact moment he felt the energy of another spirit, a third Yami. And then he knew he would soon be returned to Ryou's body and that he could come back in action again.
He was right. Téa left the room and came back later with the Millennium Ring in her hands. Yami Bakura had fallen asleep and did not know there was onather soul that had sneaked into his Ring. Téa lay the Ring down on Ryou's pillow, besides his head. The Ring began to glow. Ryou opened his eyes, but it weren't his own eyes. They were Yami Bakura's and the Yami was confused. What the heck was Marik doing inside his soul room? He wanted to kick the Egyptian man out at first, but Marik made an interesting proposal. If Yami Bakura could beat Yami Marik in a duel, Marik would give him the Millennium Rod. Yami Bakura did not hesitate a second, but immediately agreed. He attached his duel disc to his arm and went to Odion's room, where he could feel the energy of the strange Yami.
Yami Marik seemed amused to see him. "Oh, you're that fool that is trying to gather the seven Millennium Items, aren't you?"he said. Yami Bakura narrowed his eyes. "That's right. And your better half is going to give me a hand."he said. Yami Marik appeared to find everything very amusing, and attacked Yami Bakura using the Millennium Rod. He was sure he had beaten the older Yami, but the next moment he was caught in a tower of golden flames that made him cry out. "I can't move! Stop it!"he cried. Yami Bakura had used the powers of his Millennium Ring and had proven he was not so weak at all. The two Yami's decided they should have a duel over the Millennium Items. The loser would go to the Shadow Realm.
The duel didn't go very well. Yami Bakura and Marik were very bad at working together and spent lots of time shouting at each other and calling each other names. Yami Marik was having the best time of his life at the other side of the field. He almost lost it when Marik told Yami Bakura to be careful with their life points he almost lost it. "If you want that Rod you have to be more careful with our life points."Marik said. Yami Bakura exploded. "What do you mean 'our life points', parasite? I'm the one dueling here!"he barked. "Even worse: Thanks to you I could not play the Winged Dragon of Ra!" Marik was furious. "And thanks to you we've lost so many points!"he screamed. Yami Marik looked dreamy-eyed at the dark sky of the Shadow Realm. "Aw, how painfull."He said. "I feel so sorry to see two good friends fight with each other. Don't forget my Vengeful Bok (I absolutely don't know how to write the name of that card) is still active." Yami Bakura was distracted. "I know that card is still active. And if you want to return the Winged Dragon of Ra from the graveyard I should really do that."he meowed, showing Yami Marik an angry fist.
But Yami Marik had played the Winged Dragon of Ra again and had used the special "direct strike" and the "point-for-point-exchange-gift" (the names of attacks in YGO have been translated into Dutch, the English names are different, I think) and had attacked Yami Bakura's life points directly. Marik had vanished, only the two Yamis were still on the field. Most of Yami Marik was attached to the Winged Dragon of Ra, but Yami Bakura was slowly dissolving into white smoke. "It's time for you to be swallowed by eternal darkness."Yami Marik said. Yami Bakura chuckled. "But don't you know I am that darkness?"he softly asked, with a grin on his face. Yami Marik chuckled too. "And what do you mean?"he asked. Yami Bakura raised his head. The shadows were consuming his face and chest. "Simple. I cannot be destroyed. You haven't gotten rid of me yet!"he answered, as the darkness ate the last bit of him. A harsh laugh sounded as the Ring began to fall and hit the ground with a chilling "cling".
Yami Bakura had left part of himself inside the Puzzle before and decided to check the Puzzle out and study the power of the Pharaoh. But somehow the rest of him had come back too and had returned to the Ring, that had returned to Ryou. Who was now sitting on a rock in the soul room of his evil half.
"See, Bakura? That's real pain. My family was killed, I have been killed, I try so hard to accomplish something, but every time it goes wrong. That hurts."the Yami said. Ryou groaned, rolled his head around and then let it fall onto his chest. Yami Bakura snapped his fingers. Ryou was no longer attached to the rock and fell off, face in the cold sand. Yami Bakura turned him to his back and saw the soul of the boy had lost consciousness. He picked him up and carried him through the corridor to Ryou's soul room. He gently lay him down on the floor. Ryou's bangs covered his forehead. His cheeks had an unhealthy, pink color.
Yami Bakura brushed the white bangs away and pressed his lips against Ryou's forehead. "Oyasumi, Yadonushi."he said.
This was the last chapter. Again a long one. I hope you liked it. Half way across I became hopelessly stuck and just decided to go on following the series.
Oh, yeah, Bakura is in danger because Murai-Sakura forces him to watch Blues Clues. What's the big deal? Blues Clues has been dubbed. The dub- voice for Steve is Ryou's. The actor who provides the voices for Ryou and Yami Bakura is the same actor who dubs the voices of Steve from Blues Clues and Kai from Beyblade. That's freaky, but very funny as well. I can mention another fourty characters that guy did, but I'm not going to do that. Only in YGO he does more than six characters already.
