"Aw, c'mon..." Ishizu whined, sounding like a child. She cast a pleading look towards Ryou, since she knew Kira wouldn't let her out of this, but when Ryou smiled softly and shook her head, she crossed her arms over her chest and pouted. "Fine. But I don't want to run into Bakura or anybody else. Only us three."

"A sandwich." Ishizu said, arms still folded across her chest. Ryou nodded his head, to tell Kira that he'd just have a sandwich as well, when Ishizu leaned over and grabbed Ryou's arm. "Something ham-ish would be okay. No mustard, please." Ishizu said to Kira, then started to drag Ryou towards a bench. "We need to talk for a moment." Ryou looked a little helpless as he was hauled by Ishizu, mouthing an apology to Kira.

Ishizu forced Ryou to sit down on the nearest bench, and sat down as well, facing him. She peered carefully at his face, a concerned look on his face. "Were you jealous of that Adair guy back there?" She asked, half-smiling when Ryou shook his head. "Oh, come on. I bet you are. Bakura said something about you being angry. You let go of Kira's hand when he walked up. You know that they've been friends for a while, I'm guessing, and it's a little obvious-- at least to me-- that he likes her more than friends. You saw how he kept staring at her." The concerned look came back on Ishizu's face. "But you were looking away. Ryou, you're so submissive. I can understand, after some of things you've been through with Bakura, but don't let somebody come and try to hit on Kira or stare at her or anything. I know that she can stand up for herself, but if I was Kira, I wouldn't appreciate you just standing off to the side. Try to stand up for others instead."
Ryou bit his bottom lip, shaking his head. Silent, he rose to his feet, still shaking his head. "I don't need you to tell me that," He said, his voice getting an icy chill to it. "Tell Kira I'll see her later." He turned and strode quickly out of the park, heading in the opposite direction they had come in.
Ishizu stood up, looking more concerned. She called out to Ryou, but the boy ignored her. "Oh, what good am I?" She muttered to herself, then tensed when she saw Bakura join Ryou's side, almost jumping out from behind a tree. Ryou also tensed, but relaxed after a moment. Even from the distance, Ishizu could see a distressed look on Bakura's face.

"Please, hikari," Bakura begges, taking both of Ryou's hands in his own. "Help me this once." His eyes locked with Ryou's as he walked backwards, facing the boy. They were going farther away from the park, which was okay with Bakura. "Just let me show you something. I swear nothing bad will happen."
Ryou shook his head. "I just want to be alone right now, Bakura." Ryou said, trying to tug his hands out of Bakura's grip. "Besides, I don't see any reason why I should help you, after all you've done to me..."
"I need help, Ryou. You're the only one who can understand!" Bakura cried in a final plea, tugging on Ryou's hands. He hated what happened to him. He could tell that he was different, and didn't like it. He seperated himself from Ryou for as long as he could, but nothing worked. He couldn't get back to his old self, and had to try and 'cure' himself in any way he could, though it was hard. He beamed when Ryou finally sighed, nodding his head. "Thank you, hikari. Come on, now." He tugged Ryou's hands in the direction of his apartment, where he stayed alone in it, most of the time.

Ishizu blushed faintly, ashamed of making Ryou run off. "Well, I was talking to him, but I think I hurt his feelings and he left..." Ishizu said, her eyes on the ground. "He told me to tell you that he'd see you later, though. He just wants to think, I believe." She didn't tell Kira about her suspicions of Ryou being jealous of Adair. She had caused enough trouble, in her opinion.

Now Ryou and Bakura were both in Bakura's dimly lit apartment. Ryou looked nervous about being here alone with Bakura, but Bakura was too distracted to notice. "I know something's wrong with me. I'm not who I used to be..." Bakura started out softly. "I don't like it. Since I woke up from that coma, everything's different. I feel... mortal." He grimaced at the word, hating to compare himself to a mortal. "So I tried to change. I wanted to be my old self again. I have three Millennium Items, what was really stopping me from getting the rest?" He paused after this question, staring so solidly at Ryou that the boy wondered if his yami wanted an answer.
"Well, I realized the answer; it was me. I'm stopping myself from being who I was. I tried to control myself again. I went down to the park at night with my knife and saw two people. A girl and a boy, both fallen for each other. How fun it would be, I told myself, to ruin their moment there. Kill one and let the other live." Bakura shuddered at the thought. "But I was only telling myself that. I couldn't do it. I don't know what..." He looked down at his hands, which were palm up and shaking. "So I found that I could barely hurt others. I stayed away from you to tell myself I didn't need a hikari. I still have to check your thoughts and tap into them, just to comfort myself." Bakura paused for a moment, staring blankly into space for a moment.
"Oh, right." He snapped back. "I couldn't hurt others. So I resorted to the last thing I could think of..." Bakura turned away from Ryou, and pulled off his sweater swiftly. There were scars on his chest and back, but mainly on his arms. Some looked old, others were fresher and even bleeding. Bakura turned to face Ryou, tears glimmering in his eyes. "I had to hurt myself instead. I bleed like a mortal, but I know that I'm not one. I still haven't been able to return to my old self, however." There was a silence.
"So, Ryou, I need your help." Bakura whispered, his voice catching on the words as he struggled not to cry. "Hikari... please..."
Ryou stared in horror at Bakura's wounds. All of those scars... He shuddered, but found himself nodding his head. "I'll try my best..." He murmured, eyes fixed on Bakura's arms, where most of the bleeding was. "Where's your first aid box? That'll come first..."
So after locating it, Ryou tightly wound Bakura's arms and chest in cloth bandages. "I need you to stop cutting yourself, yami. To get better, you can't be doing this..." Ryou frowned, then nodded his head. "I'll be able to tell if you've taken the bandages off or anything. So I'll need you to stay near me..."

"Thanks," Kira took the sandwich, nodding her head. "So, what's with Adair?" She knew that she had made Ryou run off this was, but she still decided to risk talking to Kira about it.

"It seemed to me like he kept staring at you," Ishizu said with a slight shrug as she took a bite herself. "I wasn't sure if there was some relationship in your past. Beyond friends, I mean."

"I'm going to go now," Ryou said, distressed. It was hard for him to spend long periods with Bakura when nothing unusal was happening. Very uncomfortable. "I'll try to be back tomorrow, though. Please promise me you won't cut yourself or anything, okay?"
Bakura, who had by then put his shirt on and was curled into a tight ball on the corner of his bed, mumbled some okay, and scrunched himself tighter. He listened to Ryou's footsteps start to go away before he lifted his head. "Hikari?" He didn't want to-- couldn't-- use Ryou's name when addressing him. "Don't tell anyone else." Had he been normal, this would've been a rough order, but now his voice was pleading again.
Ryou glanced down at the box he held. He had just gone through a search of the apartment and took just about any razor-like object he could find, and all knives. He even went through Bakura's jeans and found a pocketknife that was carried around just about everywhere by his yami. "Okay, I promise. Don't leave the apartment." He felt like Bakura was a child, and he was supposed to be watching after him.
As Ryou left the apartment building and headed down the street, he wondered how long this would go on. How long could Bakura be cooped up in his apartment? How long was it before Bakura was back to normal? And what should he do until then? Questions buzzed through his mind at an amaing rate, but the main one was; What would he tell Kira? He promised Bakura he wouldn't tell. How could he explain having to go out every day? Or would she find out by her Millennium Eye? Ryou closed his eyes and rubbed them with one hand, the other cautiously balancing the box of sharp objects.
"Hey." Adair watched as the boy turned, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He approached Ryou. Kira's boyfriend. Adair could barely wrap his mind around that fact. how had Kira managed to find a guy like this? He was just about the opposite of Kira. Even his so-called brother would be a better match for Kira that this Ryou. He was more outgoing and bold.
But it didn't really matter now. He had caught Ryou's attention, and had caught the boy alone. "You shouldn't be wandering alone like this. Where's Kira?" He watched through slitted eyes as Ryou mumbled something under his breath. "Don't know, hm? Well, that's just great." In one swift movement, Adair darted towards Ryou and pinned the boy by his neck to the nearest building wall. The box dropped out of his hands and landed with a clatter on the ground, it's contents spilling out. Adair cast a surprised look down at it, wondering why Ryou would be carrying around so many blades.
Adair's grip on Ryou's neck tightened as he remembered what he was doing. Moving his face closer to the boy's, he dropped his voice into a threatening whisper. "You stay away from Kira. I don't care if you say you're in a relationship with her or anything. She deserves better, believe me. So you just go write a note or whatever to her, and then leave her life." He bent down, one hand still on Ryou's throat, and picked up a pocket knife. Bakura's favorite, to be exact. "I find out otherwise, and you'll be dead. I've got 'friends' in the city who can keep an eye on you, so don't try to pull anything." His crimson eyes glittered madly, burning with anger and envy. He released his grip on the boy, but held the knife up still. "Got that?"
