Dear Bakura,

Based on what you have told me, they would expect you to eat an early lunch and then rest a bit around eleven-thirty and then meet them for drinks and dinner around five or six. It doesn't give us too much time, but it will be enough. When you go to rest, go into your room and make sure all the lights are off. Relax your mind as much as you can and concentrate a bit on how I look and I will be able to talk to you.

The shadows are a fun place, aren't they?

Yuugi

Bakura read over the letter and took a deep breath. He had a few things to do today and the first thing was to break into Ryuuji and Hiroto's house. He walked into the kitchen and ate something small before locking his door and using his shadow powers. This morning he didn't have much time at all considering the fact that he knew Ryo would stop by to bring him lunch and had told Yuugi as such. He managed to get there by seven twenty-five and began his search. It had taken him a while longer as Ryuuji wasn't as lax on security as Anzu, but then again he had a company to run and probably kept some secrets at home.

He managed to find the book in a place, he should have and couldn't have expected. It was in the hot tub of all places and the only reason he found it was because he had accidentally bumped a board while walking past. He bent down quickly noticing the words on the pages seemed raised and checked his watch frowning. He didn't have much time at all considering it was now eight forty five. He took out some paper he had and coal considering his original plan was to put pages back so the others wouldn't be suspicious if the book suddenly weighted less. The coal had been to put a few pieces flat after he weighed the object to make sure it was the same. Was it the smartest plan? Probably not, but he figured this was some special book. He quickly copied the pages before putting the book and the board back perfectly just barely making it home before Ryo came.

Bakura hid the pages and answered the door shirtless as if he was just lounging around doing nothing. The visit took a little bit of time up as Ryo decided to eat lunch with him before going back to work. That conversation was pretty normal with Ryo thanking Bakura for taking Malik out and then telling Bakura how he would never have a lover and die a virgin if he didn't go out and meet people. Of course, as usual Bakura told him that he didn't care to meet people and left it at that. It was normal. It was expected and Ryo thought nothing of it.

A glance at the clock showed him it was 11:27 in the morning. He shouldn't be this excited, but now alone in his apartment he let a bit show before going into his room. It was dark as he had been told to leave it, laid on the bed and closed his eyes. He could see those eyes in his mind and he wondered why they seemed both lonely and yet so open.

"Bakura…"

"Yuugi… where are you?"

"Its alright. Open your eyes."

Bakura opened his eyes to see Yuugi's eyes and then the rest of his face. He felt a weight on him, but it was near feather light. "How can you do this if you don't have your body?", he asked confused. "How can I feel you?"

A dark chuckle filled the room. "Magic.", Yuugi said laughing even more brushing a feather soft kiss across Bakura's lips.

"How did you get here?", Bakura asked him.

"Why do you keep asking questions I can't answer just yet, Bakura? Why not ask questions about your past?", Yuugi said looking at him.

"I heard what happened to Ryo. I remembered the way you looked at me when I found you. I don't know why you apologized and I don't understand why you ran away from me. Can you answer me that? If you were in love with me… why did you run Yuugi?", Bakura asked him.

"I didn't want to stop.", Yuugi said causing another flashback into Bakura's mind of the rest of the conversation. "I wanted to continue because I enjoyed it. The whole thing made me feel so alive and so in control. The feeling was more than you can imagine like the highest point of ecstasy reached between two people and yet just short of that.", he told Bakura the excitement slipping into his voice.

"Did you ever stop?", Bakura asked him. "Have you been gone since then?"

"No, I was still with you. I had stopped because you said you couldn't take it. You wanted your Yuugi back, but I wasn't any different from when we started dating. I was just more free than when I was seen as nothing more than Atem's shadow.", Yuugi said to him sighing sadly. "It gave me a rush people only dream about, but when the choice came between you and it… I chose you."

"Then how aren't you here now? If you gave it up, why are you gone and why were my memories erased?", Bakura asked him.

"That last fight we had wasn't a fight between us.", Yuugi told him gently touching his cheek. "I can't answer any more of that yet. However, I can tell you I want to destroy someone."

"Someone? Would it break any rules to let me know who you want to destroy?", Bakura asked him.

"No no. I wont tell you because its more fun that way.", Yuugi said giving Bakura a smile. "If I tell you then you might get cold feet about bringing me back. Thank you for getting those papers by the way. I will re-read over them and give you instructions on what to do. Some of that takes multiple days but we should be together again before a month is out.", he said running a hand through Bakura's hair.

Bakura looked up at Yuugi. "I remember more now, but I only wish you were concrete enough for me to touch you.", he said to him.

"I know…", Yuugi said sadly. "I have to go now as well. I will write you another letter with more since you are slowly remembering. The next letter may not be completely about us, but it will have an effect on things later on. Promise me something Bakura, when you let me free…. Don't let them make you doubt me.", he said and dark tendrils of shadow magic curled around him.

"I promise I wont.", Bakura told him. "A kiss before you disappear from me?", he asked.

Yuugi smirked. "My sexy thief wants a kiss? I can do that.", he said giving Bakura a soft kiss on the lips before he was gone and no traces of shadow magic were felt.

Bakura sat up in his bed and turned on the light. He got to talk to him and he had mixed feelings if he was being honest with himself. He wanted to bring his lover back, but was Yuugi still as dark as those memories showed. What Yuugi had done in the memory was horrifying and yet he wasn't afraid of Yuugi. The other said he wanted to destroy someone as well, but who had pissed off Yuugi that much that he might do what he did. That memory was liable to give anyone nightmares and yet Yuugi seemed excited about it. Bakura had no doubt that if Yuugi was tangible he would have been highly aroused.

Bakura got up and went to get ready to go meet everyone with his perfect mask on. Before he left the house, he came to a decision. Even though he now fully had the memory and knew what the other was capable of, he would still do everything to bring him back. Everything.
