It was one late afternoon and Ryou and Bakura had just been released from school… at least Ryou…Bakura's following…

"You, Ryou put my books in my room." Bakura shouted grabbing a soda from the fridge and throwing himself on the couch. "Why can't you help me? Ryou struggled opening the door with just his foot. "What? I can't hear you with all those books in your face maybe you'd like to put them down in my room before you ask me anything." Bakura started laughing and turned on the TV. Ryou grumbled and finally got the door open though tripping on Bakura's shoes. Bakura stared down at Ryou grabbing all the papers and laughed turning his face back to the TV. "You purposely put those shoes there so I can trip didn't you Bakura!" Ryou shouted. "You did not just shout at me and you did not just call me Bakura. You change your tone of voice and say my name properly." He ordered. Ryou sighed, "You purposely put those shoes there so I can trip didn't you? Ryou shuddered "Oh great king Bakura." "That's more like it Ryou. And yes I put those shoes there for a laugh and the best part was…hahaha I laughed." Ryou picked up the books and threw Bakura's on the floor and gently put his on the bed. "Ryou I'm bored entertain me! Now!" Bakura shouted. Ryou said "No." under his breath and grabbed something to eat. "I just heard no. Would you like an extra chance to rephrase that?" Bakura asked crushing the soda can. "No." Ryou said lowly again. Bakura threw the soda can at Ryou's head and saw him fall. He began laughing as Ryou rubbed his head. "Just a couple more days and it will be my birthday and hopefully he'll leave me alone." Ryou said lowly still rubbing his head. "Ryou let's go for a walk." "No Bak—Bakura lifted his finger up and moved it up and down. "Sorry. Correction: Oh great king Bakura." Ryou gagged. "Good boy Ryou. Now let's walk. What color do you want today…black, red, white, or…hmm blue?" "Whichever you would like…oh great king Bakura." Ryou said dully. "I think black because it matches what I'm wearing." Bakura said picking up a black leash and collar. "Come here Ryou. Come here boy." Ryou walked over to Bakura. "Now where do you wanna walk? Nice little path where no one could see you or the park?" Bakura asked clipping on the leash and collar. "The path where no one could see me would be nice." Ryou said hoping Bakura wouldn't reject. "That's a great idea! But…then what fun would it be if I can't hear the people laughing and taunting you?" Bakura asked chuckling. "You're right oh great king Bakura. What ever has gotten into me? I only want what is best for my…king/master/trainer." Ryou said in monotone. "You'd make an excellent dog Ryou. Now chop-chop get on the floor and walk." Bakura said. "I have to get on the floor too!" Ryou asked shocked. "Yes! Bad dog! Don't bark at your master!" Bakura kicked Ryou's back. Ryou put his head down shamefully "Sorry oh great king Bakura." He got to his knees and started crawling on the floor. "You're too funny Ryou. Doors that way dog." Bakura said almost choking Ryou with the tight leash.

At the park…it was one of those days where they were holding those little parties for kids with the big jumping trampoline castles and stupid gay clowns that made you want to smack them…and not just with pie.

"Ryou look how lucky it's full and look there's some people you know. There's that stupid midget with his Yami may he burn in hell, Tea, and Joey." Bakura said kicking Ryou to go faster. Ow. Ow. Ow. My legs are going to get scrapped on this concrete. Ryou sighed and spot one of the toughest bullies in school. "Ah! Bakura take me home! Please!" He begged. "Why we just got here?" Bakura asked. "Bakura please there's a kid here who's out to get me. Please!" Bakura thought for a minute. It would be the right thing to do…but I want a hot dog and he didn't say oh great king Bakura…so fuck him. "Walk Ryou or I'll break your spinal cord from kicking it so much." Bakura said kicking Ryou's back. "Bakura…please I—"Hey it's Ryou!" Yugi yelled. Ryou crawled behind Bakura and covered his face. "You're not Ryou I just saw him. I wanted to give him a hot dog." Yugi said. "I'll make sure he gets it." Bakura said taking a bite out of the hot dog. He spit the hot dog out and wiped his tongue on his shirt. What…the fuck was that! That wasn't a hot dog! I demand a better tasting hot dog or I will eat you with an oversized bread!" Bakura yelled at Yugi. "I'm sorry that's all we have" Yugi trembled. "What's going on!" Marik asked fixing his chef hat. "Oh my god! I ate one of his hot dogs. I don't have scales do I! Gills! Feathers! A third eye on my forehead like his Yami!" Bakura panicked. "You're saying it's my fault my Yami got a third eye?" Marik asked. "Yes. Very clearly." Bakura said still checking himself. "Hey it's Ryou!" Marik said pulling out Ryou from behind Bakura. "H-hey Marik." He said nervously. Marik laughed hysterically and tugged on Ryou's leash. "Whoa Ryou. Nice get up." He said. Ryou sighed and hid his face. "Hey, hey Ryou you want a hot dog I made it?" Marik asked. "No. No thank you." Ryou said muffled. "You sure? I have one right here." Marik said wiggling the hot dog. "Yes. Ryou wants one. Eat it Ryou." Bakura ordered. "No." Ryou said. "Eat it!" Bakura yelled pulling Ryou up by his hair. "Ow! Ok. Give me." Ryou said taking the hot dog. Everyone looked at Ryou and Marik made dramatic music noises. Ryou was about to put the hot dog in his mouth when he yelled, "Look everyone Tea is stripping!" Everyone yelled and ran out of the park closing their eyes. "That's not funny I'm very beautiful!" Tea screamed. People started coughing and saying "Yea right". Ryou pulled his leash out of Bakura's hands and started running away but before he ran he threw the hot dog at Bakura…then ran. "Ryou Bakura! You get your puny ass over here!" Bakura yelled. "Ryou's ass is anything but puny Bakura. You can't see it?" Marik asked. I'm free! I'm free! Yes! No more Bakura! No more leash! Nothing can go wrong! Ryou stopped running and caught his breath.

…Yea you know in the movies, cartoons etc. when they say those words "Nothing…can…go…wrong" Something is obviously gonna happen…in 5 seconds. 1 2 3 4 5.

Ryou stood up and felt a hand on his shoulder. "Great googly moogly!" Ryou shouted. "Hey Ryou. Didn't think I'd see you outside your house. Ready for your beating?" The bully asked cracking his knuckles. "No. I wouldn't say I was really ready. I'll get back to you." Ryou said quickly trying to run away. That…bully guy grabbed Ryou's leash and pulled him slowly closer to him.

Marik could be heard miles away signing dramatic music.

"Please! Please! Don't hurt me!" Ryou begged. "No I'm still gonna do it." The…bully guy said. "Ryou Bakura! Bakura yelled from across the sidewalk. Ryou laughed crazily. "Ha,ha,ha! Now you're gonna get it! You'll see! You screwed! That guy over there's gonna beat the shit out of you!" "Ryou you're gonna get it! You're screwed! I'm gonna beat the shit out of you Ryou!" Bakura yelled taking hold of the leash and dragging Ryou home. Ryou grabbed the…bully guy's leg and pleaded him to save him. Bakura walked home and Ryou got run over by bikes and gum and stuff in his hair. "You! You threw a moldy Marik Ishtar hand made hot dog at my face! You know how deadly those are! They use those in nuclear bombs!

"Dream Skit"

Navy seal: Sir! The talibans are attacking!

Sergeant: We can't let that happen! Unleash the nuclear bombs!

Two navy seals men dragged out a box that says Marik Ishtars hot dogs.The box reads "Marik Ishtar famous cooker. Better than Martha Stewarts and Emerald (big long last name) you could surely count on this delicious meal. "If you ain't got it come and bought it" Slogan created by yours truly Master Egyptian Chef Marik. Made to make your tummy tumble.

Navy seal: We've got the bombs! Do we fire sir?

Sergeant: I love you America and all the people in it but in order to get rid of all the talibans…we must blow everyone and everything up…God bless you. Fire the hot dogs!

The navy seals load a cannon with Marik's hot dogs and destroy the world.

"End of Dream Skit" (Continuing story)

I could be a zombie now! But would you care! No! I could've died just a little while ago!" Bakura yelled. "Oh god why! Why couldn't it happen!" Ryou cried. "You're saying you would have wanted me to die!" Bakura asked angrily grabbing arm and squeezing it. "No. How could I want you dead?" Ryou asked in pain trying to free his arm. "Liar!" Bakura yelled twisting it. "No! No! I swear!" Ryou cried in pain. Bakura punched Ryou's face and twisted his arm completely making his spine crack too. Ryou collapsed to the floor like some crippled old man without his crane and cried. "Stop being a baby and bathe me! I'm dirty you dirtied me you bad dog." Bakura said smacking Ryou into the bathroom. "I'm not bathing you are you crazy!" Ryou asked rubbing his arm. "Yes. I believe I am quite crazy now bathe me!" Bakura ordered. Ryou sighed and turned on the water for Bakura. "You're forgetting my favorite thing!" Bakura shouted pinching Ryou. Ryou winced and poured bubbles into the bath. "Good." Bakura jumped in the shower and waited for Ryou to return with his towel. "Yo. Yo. Yo. Bakura family!" Yami Marik said dropping the front door down. Fuck. Bakura sighed and dipped his head in the bath to hide himself. "Ryo-o-o-o-u!" Marik sang running across the house looking for Ryou. "Hi Marik." Ryou said going into the bathroom. "What'cha doing sexy?" Marik asked going into the bathroom too. "Bathing." Ryou said. "Ooh. Can I see?" Marik asked. "No." Ryou said disgustedly. Bakura took his head out of the water and inhaled deeply. "Bakura!" Yami Marik shouted happily. "Fuck!" Bakura yelled. "Ryou get this fag and that mutant out of the bathroom! Now and no later! I'm pruning!" He yelled. "You bathe your Yami?" Marik asked. "Yes." Ryou sighed. Marik growled like a cat and started laughing. "Let's go Yami." Marik said. "We're sitting outside." Ryou squeezed soap on a loofa and scrubbed Bakura's arm gently. Bakura sighed and closed his eyes. He opened his eyes and saw Ryou teary eyed. They heard a dish fall and people scurrying opening the front door and running out. "I'll…I'll be right back." Ryou said opening the bathroom door and walking into the kitchen to see like 30 dishes broken on the floor.

Ryou picked up a letter and read it to himself…

Deer Ryou,

It's Marik! Um…sorrie about the plates. It wuzn't me I zwear! It wuz my Yami he did it I kno he did I saw him I wuz rite there wit him. I would never lie 2 u Ryou. U have 2 believe mi. I would never do such a horrible ding. But my Yami would becuz he's pure evyl he's the 1 that threw the rock and he threatened me 2 death if I didn't get the rock 4 him. U believes mi rite? I ran home becuz he was gonna send mi 2 the shadow realm. Remember I'm not lying 2 u!

Luv u,

Marik Ishaaar a.k.a that sexy hot irresistible Egyptian you just can't keep your hands off.

"That's so like Marik" Ryou said sighing and spotting another letter.

Dear Ryou Bakura,

Whatever my stupid lighter half might be saying to you is bullshit! I did not throw a rock I'm innocent for the first time in 50 years I am innocent! He's the guilty culprit you should have seen him abuse me! Talking all nigger like. "Yo Ima beat yous up hoe and shit like that" It was awful you better believe me! I'm not lying this time to you. Not that I ever lie to you because you're not worth lying too because you're a fucking genius and you know when people are lying to you especially me…I mean if it was Marik you'd take it like bread to peanut butter and jelly…mmm I want that right about now. Think you can make me one then ship it to my house? I mean you're doing favors for everyone else why not me? I'm sexy too you know! Anyway I'm getting off topic. I have a DNA scanner at the house you can scan Marik's guilty red hands off those 30 broken plates. I'm being serious! Even about the peanut butter and jelly shipment. He…broke…the…plates…I'm serious. No rock was involved he tried throwing them at me like UFO discs! I'm serious! I got beat up because I was off guard! I'm cut up and look like Swiss cheese! Mmm…Swiss cheese sounds pretty good now too. Damn…I'm hungry. Oh! Marik ate all your food too! I saw him! I have enough will power to stop myself from eating other people's food! I'm evil but I'm nice too!

I'm not lying to you Ryou I'm "serious" (that makes it like the 50 billionth time I use it)

"Yami" Marik Ishtar

"I think they both broke it." Ryou said. He sighed when he saw another letter.

Deer Ryou again,

P.S I wuz talking to Bak-Bak-Kura! Hehehe and he said that u had a puny azz…but don't worrie u have the biggest azz Ryou. I bet he thinks so 2. Muah! Kiss Kiss!

Ryou cocked an eyebrow and threw the letters out. "That was weird…I don't really care about the plates." He picked up the plates and went back to the bathroom to see Bakura in deep thought. "You thinking?" Ryou asked. Bakura turned to Ryou and faced the wall again. "What's the matter?" He asked scrubbing Bakura's other arm. Bakura pulled his arm away. "You're birthdays coming up right?" Bakura asked. "Yes Bakura. I mean…oh great king Bakura." Ryou said. Glad you remembered Bakura, Didn't think you would. Bakura sighed and crossed his arms. "I'm getting kinda cold." "Why don't I finish bathing you so you could get out?" Ryou said. "I'll bathe myself thank you very much. You may leave." Bakura said closing the curtain and turning the water on again.

Ryou walked over to Marik's house and heard singing. "Hot potato, hot potato, hot potato hot potato, hot potato, potato, potato" Marik sang. "Marik" Ryou said in confusion. Marik gasped and jumped in fear. "I was not watching the Wiggles." He said turning the TV off. Ryou turned the TV on. "Hot potato, potato, potato." Now how did that get there?" Marik asked sweating. "Marik what happened to my plates?" Ryou asked smiling slightly. "It was my Yami I swear!" Marik screamed. "It's ok Marik. I don't really care." "Oh…whew…good because I thought you'd get mad at me if you found out it was me who broke it." Marik said sighing. "I mean my Yami broke them." "Marik I—"You asshole Yami Marik! You ate my dress! Are you some sort of goat!" Ishizu yelled. "That wasn't me! I don't eat plastic fruit off ugly girls dresses!" Yami Marik shouted. "Jerry Jerry Jerry!" Marik chanted. "What they don't know is that… I ate those fruit off my sisters dresses but my Yami's getting the let down!" Marik laughed evilly. "Ooh. Marik that's something you can work on summer break." Yami Marik said scratching his ear. "Hmm. Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do!" Marik sang walking away into his room. Ryou followed Marik into his room and saw him reading a book. "You read?" Ryou asked. "Oh! Ryou!" Marik said surprised. "I didn't know you were in my house. How did you get here not to mention when?" Ryou sweat dropped and scratched his head. "Two hundred and one ways to get Ryou. What is that?" Ryou asked snatching the book and reading.

Chapter 1 (simple)

One way to get Ryou is simply go up to him and grab him then do your stuff. Pretty simple no? Another way is bribery. Bribe him with things he likes that should get you the ticket. In order to get Ryou you must make him like you. As followed… Flowers

Candy

Letters

Affection

Toys (not playing toys if you know what I mean)

Books

Blindfolds

Handcuffs

Etcetera

Ryou flipped through the pages and reached chapter 2

Chapter 2 (intermediate)

Once you have gotten Ryou to like you, try moving in on him. Make him understand that you love him and you want him…badly. Try mostly in the dark best time of day to get him. You can either

Strap him to a chair

Strap him to the bed

Get him in the car

You really wanna get him in the shower

Outside (make it seem like a kidnap)

Catch him off guard

Etcetera

Ryou disgustedly turned the pages rapidly and turned to the last chapter.

Chapter 3 (expert)

You now have Ryou strapped to a chair, bed, whatever. Put tape over his mouth to prevent screaming and the calling of the Yami and get a massive, massive beating of a lifetime. Slowly take off his clothes if you feel confident enough he will not escape. Toy with him for a while. If you are super extremely desperate rapidly take his clothes off and seduce him there.

Ryou had just had about enough of the book when he turned to the last page.

Chapter 4 (MANIA!)

WARNING! DESCRIPTIVE LANGUAGE AND FULL DETAILS includes:

Grabbing

Sucking

Ryou flipped the page and saw a small paragraph.

One…two Marik's coming for you.

Three…four he's grabbing your shoes

Five…six he's taking your shit

Seven…eight don't stay up late

Nine…ten he'll seduce you whether you like it or not.

Ryou put the book down and looked at Marik.

"I don't know what that is." Marik lied. "I want you…to stay away from me Marik." Ryou said walking away. "Ryou wai! Ryou closed the door before Marik screamed more stuff. Ryou spot Bakura in Tea's house and started spying. "Hey Ryou come here!" Yugi said dragging Ryou somewhere.

Bakura's P.O.V

"I went over to TeA's house to…sadly ask her for any ideas for a present for Ryou's birthday. I know I may "seem" like that type that doesn't really care about him but…I really do. I actually really like him. But I know he doesn't like me. I'm such a bitch to him. Taking him out for a walk, making him bathe me and shit. I sighed. Well, Tea and I went into her room. It was the most unbelievable thing. I saw peace signs everywhere; hippy clothes and like 30 million collages of her friends and friendship signs and shit like that. Well it was actually believable because come on its Tea we're talking about. "Well why all this? Why all of the sudden do you want to buy Ryou a gift? You've hated him for so long why now?" She asked. I know I didn't hate Ryou and I've always liked Ryou but I just never liked to admit it. "I guess I just wanted to repay Ryou for being nice to me and doing stuff for me…when I was a bitch." I said fighting from blushing. "I didn't know this." She said. "So what should I get him?" I asked. "Well you could get him friends, friendship all that good stuff about friendship." She smiled a goofy looking smile and snorted. "Okay…" I said confused. "Well I'm gonna go now Tea you're not really helping me. I'm not sure Ryou would want anything of friendship." I said. "Friendship! FRIENDSHIP, FRIENDSHIP!" She screeched. I walked away and ran out the street where I bumped into Ryou.

Regular P.O.V

"Oh great Bakura what were you doing in Tea's house? You're not going out with her…are you?" Ryou asked. Bakura faced Ryou and blushed a little. "Are you blushing?" Ryou asked lifting Bakura's head. "Leave me alone!" Bakura said angrily pulling his head away. "You're acting weirder than usual oh great king Bakura. What are you thinking about?" Ryou asked. "Nothing. I'll…see you later." Bakura said. "Hmm." Ryou said scratching his head.

Bakura P.O.V

I just couldn't tell Ryou what I was doing. He'd take me for some sort of fool. He wouldn't think I'd actually get him something. I want it to be special really special so he knows I actually like him. I'm going to see Marik and his stupid Yami. I walked over to Marik's house and I saw them wrestling each other on the floor. Something extremely weird…but something I've always wanted to do with Ryou. Ok…whoa. Marik said hi to me annoyingly as usual and he hugged me. I know he has the hots for Ryou and would like to get him. Chh…like I'd let him lay a finger on him. "What's up Bak-Bak-Kura?" He said. How I hate that when he calls me that. Bak-Bak-Kura. Asshole. "Bakura you interrupted our wrestling. I was enjoying my Yami on top of me…though I'd like Ryou on top of me." He said giggling. I snarled at him in my mind because I don't want to show him that I… "What is it that you need Bakura" Marik's Yami asked me. I saw him touch Marik. Ew. Who would want to touch him? I asked Marik about what to get Ryou. How unsurprising of Marik who said to give him a kiss. Yami Marik wasn't much help so I just smacked him and left.

Regular P.O.V

"I'm running out of ideas!" Bakura screamed. "I'll just give up. There's nothing I can give him." He sighed. "Hey Bakura! Look at the gift I got Ryou! Isn't it neat! I know he'll like it." Yugi said. Bakura sighed. "Hey Bakura actually looks sad Yugi." Yami Yugi said in a southern accent. Why is he talking like that? Little asshole how I wish he could die!

"Dream Skit"

Bakura grabs a book that reads "So many ways to kill Yami Yugi"

Choke him

Slit his veins

Stab him

Shoot him

Throw rocks at his head

Send him to the shadow realm

Fight him

Eat him

Cut his body parts

Grab his balls and make him bleed

Run him over with a car

Grate him like cheese

Drown him

Beat him on the head

15.Crack his skull

"End Dream Skit" (Continue story)

Can you leave me alone fag and faggot? I'm not really in the mood to speak to the likes of you." Bakura said. "All right we'll see you later then." Yugi said. "Bye! Bakura" Yami Yugi said still in a southern accent. Bakura walked home and saw Ryou washing the dishes. "Well you're finally here. I made you some food in case you were hungry." Ryou said. "No I'm not hungry!" Bakura said slamming the door to his room. Ryou knocked on his door and sat next to him on the bed. "Hey Mr. Grumpy gills." Ryou said smiling. "Go away." Bakura said stubbornly. "Come on Oh great king Bak-Bak-Kura." Ryou laughed. "Don't call me that!" He shouted. "Something's up. What is it?" Ryou asked. "The sky." Bakura said. Ryou chuckled. "You can tell me maybe I can help you." He said patting Bakura. "Ok. I'll tell you. I wanted to get…a present for—"Hey Ryou and Bak-Bak-Kura. What's up R and B?" Marik asked barging in. "Oh great king Bakura was going to tell me something." Ryou said. "Alright go ahead tell Ryou whatever you had to tell him." Marik said. Bakura stayed quiet and blushed a little. "Don't you wish Bakura was hot like me? Don't you wish Bakura was smart like me?" Marik sang. Bakura growled. "There once was a man from…Nantucket he asked little Miss muffet for a tuffet." Marik continued. Ryou sighed and grabbed Marik's arm. "Come on he's not gonna tell me anything." Marik pulled out the little book and turned to chapter 1. "Ryou you're my best friend! I can't believe you're gonna be 16. You're getting so much older. Come here and give me a hug." Marik said hugging Ryou. Ryou turned around and Marik flipped through the pages to chapter 2. He grabbed a rope and strapped Ryou to the chair and placed tape over his mouth. "Now that I have you. It's time for…the rape to begin!" Marik laughed evilly as Ryou screamed muffling. Marik kissed Ryou and head growling from the hallway. "Get away from him!" Bakura yelled punching Marik. Bakura took to ropes off Ryou and gave him his shirt back. "Damn! This book sucks ass! Please let me molest Ryou just once please oh please oh please oh ple-e-e-e-e-e-ease!" Marik begged. "No! Ryou would feel uncomfortable!" Bakura yelled. "Since when did you care!" Marik asked. "Since always!" Bakura yelled. Ryou blushed and fidgeted. "D-do you really mean that…oh great king Bakura?" Ryou asked still blushing. "Well…yea. That's what I wanted to tell you. I tried telling you that before. I was gonna tell you that I've been searching all day for a gift for your birthday. It hasn't been going all that well. I wanted to get you something special to show that I…liked you but I couldn't find anything. I also wanted to find something that showed you how sorry I was for treating you bad and being…a bitch to you." Bakura said sadly. "Oh great king Bakura…you didn't have to get me a present. I just wanted you to like me." Ryou Said putting a hand on Bakura's shoulder. "How touching. Come on Ryou I've got a good present for you." Marik smiled. "Ok Marik show me. What's my present?" Ryou asked sitting down on the couch. "I thought you'd never ask! Ok. I got you…Yami do the honors." Yami Marik made drum roll sounds. "I got you a Marik Ishtar action figure with 2100 "I love Ryou" phrases. If you press this button here something magical happens. Go Ryou press the button go." Marik insisted. Ryou pressed the button. "That's sick…and wrong." Bakura said disgustedly. "Well what do you think?" Marik asked raising his eyebrows. "It's…very…pretty." Ryou said hesitantly. "I knew you thought I was pretty!" Marik said hugging Ryou. "Well. Well mine is better!" Yugi said coming in. "Let me guess hair gel." Bakura said. "Aw dammit Bakura! You ruin everything!" Yugi said disappointed. "It's empty." Ryou said. "That's because I used it on the way." Yugi said. "…Cheap ass." Bakura whispered. "So…Yami Marik what did you get Ryou?" Bakura smirked as he saw Yami Marik pigging out on the breads, cookies, and pasta de bocadito. "I um…I got the sucker…I mean heh heh Ryou a um…ah here we are. Go buy yourself something pretty." Yami Marik said wiping his mouth. "A nickel. How…how thoughtful. What can I buy again?" Ryou asked. "Well you can buy gum…from a…ahem…homeless." Yami Marik said. "Or you can get laid by me for that nickel." Marik said smiling. "I'd steal his soul if he got in a bed with you." Bakura said threateningly. "Well… I got really…well thought out gifts. I…liked them all they were all…very unique." Ryou said. Damn nothing for my computer, no video games, and no money. Nothing. Cheap ass'. I spent more than 30 bucks on these people for their birthday and what do I get? A stupid action figure, a nickel (what the hell?) and an empty bottle of hair gel. I wish Bakura got me something. Probably would've been better than any of these gifts. Ryou smiled at everyone and sighed sadly. Bakura stared at Ryou and walked towards the front door. "Where are you going we're about to cut the…where's the cake!" Marik asked looking around. Everyone looked at Yami Marik. "Now why does everyone look at me! It was Yugi! Look! Evidence!" Yami Marik shouted pointing at Yugi's shirt. "It…wasn't me! I swear!" Yugi said nervously as everyone closed in on him. "Cake thief." Marik said pushing Yugi. "Well Ryou since the cake is gone courtesy of Yugi…we'll just sing you happy birthday…without the cake.

"A one…a two…a one…two…four!" Marik said. "Three." Ryou said gloomily.

Happy Birthday to you

Ahhh

Happy birthday to you

Wheee

Happy birthday dear Ryou

Whoopa

Happy birthday to yo-o-o-o-o-o-o-u!

Epa!

"Te esta poniendo viejo! (You're getting old in Spanish)" Marik said clapping his hands. "Thanks. I feel…old." Ryou said forcing a smile. "You're not happy are you?" Yami Marik asked. Ryou frowned and looked around. "Of course I am! I've never been happier! I got Marik telling me I'm old, all my friends, Bakura's not here what could be better?" He asked. "A pony." Marik said. "Alright Marik. A pony." Ryou said sighing. "Well since the cakes gone Ryou's got his presents and we sang happy birthday…parties over. See ya." Yami Marik said taking all the desserts and food. "See you tonight Ryou. Rarr! Stay sexy. Muah!" Marik said following his Yami. "Great party Ryou. Too bad Bakura couldn't make it." Yugi said grabbing his Yami.

Ryou's P.O.V

Well I'm here…home alone. Glad that my parties over and I'm putting my presents in my space bag. I swear if I hear Marik's doll say "I love Ryou hurry up and grab his ass" one more time I'm killing myself. I didn't even get to eat cake. Damn! I can't believe Bakura just walked out on everyone not even saying what he was doing or where he was gonna go. Little asshole. He doesn't like me. He still hates me. I think I'm going to bed…I just want this day over and done with.

Regular P.O.V

Ryou put on his white Pjs and tucked himself into bed. "Dumb Bakura." He grumbled falling asleep.

A few hours later Bakura silently came through the door and dragged a bag slowly to Ryou's room. "Ryou. Ryou wake up." Bakura whispered shaking him. "What? What do you want?" Ryou asked drowsily turning away from him. "I got something for you. Look." Bakura said turning on the light. Ryou sat up rubbing his eyes and saw a bag. "It took me along time to get them all. But they're special to me and I want you to keep them." Bakura said dumping the bag on the bed. "You got them all. You got all 7 millennium items." Ryou said picking them up. "Yea. We can…we can rule the world together." Bakura said nervously. Ryou laughed and dropped his head on the pillow. "You're too funny Bakura. I don't want to rule the world. I want to…be with you." Ryou said sitting up. "Really? But I've been nothing but mean to you." Bakura said. "So? You're the best gift I've gotten everything else is annoying and cheap." Ryou said smiling. "I love my presents. Shows how hard you tried to get them." He added. "Yea." Bakura said fidgeting. "You didn't have to leave my…party if you want to call it that. You kinda made me upset when you left. Made me feel I wasn't worth it." Ryou said. "Sorry." Bakura said. "What?" Ryou asked. "Sorry." Bakura repeated. "Are you for real…he said sorry to me!" Ryou inserted a tape in the radio.

Heavenly chorus: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah hallelu-u-u-ujah!

"Ok I get it. My first time ever I know. Get off my back." Bakura said turning the tape off. Ryou got up from his bed and stood in front of Bakura staring at his face. "What?" Bakura asked backing away. "Nothing." Ryou said moving in closer. "Um…listen Ryou I'm kinda tired see you tomorrow." Bakura ran quickly up the stairs and closed the door to his room. Ryou crossed his arms and jumped into his bed. Why was he so scared? I wasn't gonna do anything. Maybe just hug him…but I was being hesitant. I can't go to sleep. Maybe Bakura can help me fall asleep when he calms down a bit. I didn't mean to give him the wrong impression. Maybe he just got nervous or pressured. Oh well. I'll go up in 15 minutes. Ryou covered himself and waited for his long 15 minutes to be over.

Bakura's P.O.V

I'm guessing Ryou really liked his presents. Took me 30 hours to get them! He better like them! He was acting really weird down there. Almost as if…nah…not Ryou. Not Ryou the goody-two shoes. Wish he did though. I was kind of nervous I didn't really expect that. Aw…dammit I have no pajamas again. I hate using towels as pants…they're so uncomfortable. I wonder who's knocking at my door. That was a fucking stupid question the only one in this house is Ryou and me…unless Mairk snuck in! I woulda heard him he's loud as hell. Should I open the door? Maybe it's Ryou…no shit Sherlock. It's Ryou. But he's never bothered me before why now? What does he want? Probably wanted his stuffed animal I hid from him.

Regular P.O.V

Bakura opened the door and (dun dun dun da) there was Ryou standing with a blanket it one hand holding up his pants. "Yes…?" Bakura asked. "Um…I know this sounds…um…really weird but um…Ryou smacked his lips together and fidgeted. "Can I st-stay with you…until I get sleepy of course. I can't really get to sleep." Bakura stayed quiet and grabbed Ryou's arm pulling him inside. "I'm guessing I can stay." Ryou said rubbing his arm. "This was so unexpected of you. I thought you wanted to come and take back your stuffed animal." Bakura said smiling uneasily. "Smufermuff! You took Smufermuff!" Ryou asked pushing Bakura away and searching for the stuffed toy. "I put him back calm your nuggets." Bakura said grabbing Ryou by his shoulders. "You didn't hurt him did you?" Ryou asked. "I only cut off all his hair and his head." Bakura said. "No!" Ryou said shocked. "I'm just messing with you Ryou." Bakura smiled messing up Ryou's hair. "You're…friendlier." Ryou said fixing his hair. "Do you have a problem with it? Because I can go back to being myself again." Bakura crossed his arms. "No!" Ryou said without hesitation. He yawned and rubbed his eyes. "Looks like someone's getting tired…better head back down stairs." Bakura said. "No! I wanna sleep with you." Ryou said hugging Bakura. Bakura tried saying something but was left speechless when Ryou hugged him. Ryou quickly let go and blushed furiously. "I…um…sorry. I'll go down stairs now." He quickly opened the door and was grasped by Bakura. "Y-you don't have to go." Bakura said nervously. "But I just hugged you. I hugged my master. I'm not supposed to do that. Can you forgive me…Oh great king Bakura?" Ryou asked bowing. Bakura stared at Ryou and picked him up from bowing. "You can stop calling me that. I don't own you anymore. You're free." Bakura said. "I'm free?" Ryou asked. Bakura nodded and closed the door with he lock. "Now you can't leave. I don't want you too." Ryou laid down in Bakura's bed and sighed. "Good night Ryou. Happy birthday." Bakura said hugging Ryou. "Thank you…Oh great king Bakura." He said moving closer to Bakura.
