-Seto-

I twitch, Bakura's grin meaning
something is going to happen that he will enjoy, and I will not. I'm
far too used to this by now, though, so I simply resign myself to my
fate.

I knew this whole day would be
this...aggravating, though. In fact, I'm surprised I've gotten this
far without attempting to murder Bakura. I suppose that Mokuba is
right; I've grown attached to Bakura for more than sex. I don't
think I've quite forgiven him for trying to take over Mokuba yet, but
even I can admit that he's changed since then. Perhaps it really was
just the Ring that made him so psychotic. I mean, yes, he's still so
fucking crazy that I worry he'll topple the world order in boredom,
but he doesn't seem so murderous any longer.

Not that his
murderous nature hadn't been a turn-on, because it had. But now, I
don't have to worry about him suddenly changing his mind and stabbing
me to death during sex.

So caught up in my
thoughts as I was, I must have missed whatever Bakura was excited
about. Knowing that is not proper behavior for someone in a
relationship, and knowing that Mokuba will kill me if he finds out I
wasn't paying attention to Bakura on this date, I turn to ask what I
had missed. As I open my mouth, however, I notice that something is
wrong.

Bakura is staring
straight ahead, frozen mid-stride. I reach forward to touch his
right shoulder, but his face contorts into an expression of utter
pain and fury before I can reach him.

“Bakura?”
I ask cautiously, stepping back as I notice the mad look in his eyes.

He says nothing,
his face continuing to contort until he finally opens his mouth to
scream. Everything stops around us, everyone transfixed by the pure
pain and animalistic hate held within that scream.

“Bakura!”
I step towards him, and his scream stops immediately. Shadows swirl
around him, focused around his chest until the coalesce into the
Millennium Ring. His eyes focus, all of the hate he is feeling
staring straight at me. I find myself unable to say something in the
face of that pure loathing.

Just seeing the
Ring again is terrifying, but he is in pain, too. He turns and takes
off, saying nothing to me. I'm unsure of whether it was good that he
hasn't started using all of the Ring's powers or not...I just pull my
cell from my pocket and demand a status report on Ryou Bakura.

A/N: Eee...I worry,
I worry! Let me know what you all think!
