It's been three days since that then and things had changed suddenly.

You were different, angrier.

But there was something else.

I'd seen that look before, that feeling where you've done something and regretted it.

Guilt.

You looked guilty.

But what for? I don't understand.

Everything's perfect, what could be wrong?

You've barely made eye contact with me today.

It's worrying me.

Have I done something wrong?

Have I managed to screw something up again?

What should I do to get you happy again?

How do I ask you?

I hate this uncertainty.

You look over at me from the couch to see me staring back at you.

A scowl escapes your lips with annoyance and impatience.

Wait, why were you impatient?

I shook my head to stop staring, I know it's rude.

I can't wait any longer.

I stand and walk over to where you were sitting.

A deep breath as I ask what's wrong.

You raise an eyebrow and say nothing.

A lie I knew too well as I persist on the question.

You are being deceived.

I continue to persist.

You continue to resist.

I ask why you won't tell me.

You start to yell at me and I yell back.

Hurtful things are being thrown at each other now.

I scream that if you loved me, you'd tell me.

The truth slips out.

My heart breaks.

My world shatters within the silence.

You realise what you've said but keep a firm look as you look away.

I'm dumb struck.

How could I not see this?

It was all a mirage, a dream.

But the pang in my heart tells me it's all real.

Tears streamed down my face.

I look at you to see a sign of a joke.

You look at me as if I'm a burden now.

Sadness and heartbreak being transferred into anger and rage.

How dare you..

How dare you!

You played me a fool!

My arms lash out at you, hoping to make some mark.

I grab the golden pendent around your neck.

I'll show you what it's like to have something precious taken away from you.

And then…

The rest was like a dream.

When I grabbed the Millennium ring..

I was transported to the time of Ancient Egypt.

I was scared.

When I first got there, there was a strange man looking at me.

I've never met him before but somehow he looked familiar.

He started to walk towards me.

I ran and before I realized it, I was being chased.

I ran for hours but in the end..

…he got me.

You can't keep running he says to me.

Who are you and what do you want? I scream.

I'm the king of thieves he replies.

There was only one king of thieves I knew.

That was Bakura.

I couldn't quite grasp the idea it was him.

After what happened.

But this was Bakura too, I was sure of it.

We spent the day together in the sands.

We were never out of each others sight.

But when I thought I could settle here forever..

..A flash of light beamed brightly.

I lay in my soul room now, completely confused.

Was it all just a dream?

I wished it wasn't but I could hear noises coming from outside my body telling me otherwise.

The grunts that Mariku makes.

The growl Bakura responded with.

In the past,

Bakura is mine.

But in the present,

He loves my dark side.

The next day, I regained consciousness in a warehouse.

Bakura was there, looking bored as usual.

I realized the meeting was about to start.

I couldn't even face him anymore.

I'd burst into tears.

Because I know,

After all we've been through,

All we'll ever be is just partners in crime.
