Chapter One: By Your Side

The light of the morning sun slowly started to slimmer through the white curtain of the Bakura family apartment. Down at the far end was Ryo Bakura's bedroom. On the other side of the door was a room of a typical teenage boy, but Ryo wasn't a typical teenage boy. The pal skinned boy had a bound with a spirit that lives in an ancient Egyptian artifact that his father had given him. At first, the two didn't get along at all.

The spirit would hurt Ryo whenever it was angered, but has time went on and the two started to understand each other, their relationship started to change. In these recent days. Ryo and the spirit of his Millennium Ring, more commonly known as Bakura, started getting along more and more. There was no fighting, no arguing or abuse. There was slight love behind their relationship.

With the sun creeping its way into Ryo's room, Ryo started to slowly open his chocolate brown eyes. He looked over next to him to see Bakura sleeping next to him. This was the first time Ryo found himself waking up before his other self. While sleeping Bakura seemed to have a peaceful look on his face, like you would think that he could be cruel. With a smile Ryo brushed away a piece of white hair that was laying across Bakura's nose. When the hair moved, it slightly tickled Bakura's nose and he too opened his chocolate brown eyes.

"Good morning." Ryo said with a smile.

"Huh! What's so good about it?" Bakura said with a bored tone.

"You say that every morning. Can't you just say good morning to me for once."

Bakura sat up from his laying spot and looked down at Ryo. With a light flush pink blush on his face he ran his thin pale white fingers through his long white hair.

"Good morning Yadonushi."

With a smile Ryo patted Bakura on the head, which Bakura hated. But as Bakura saw the smile on Ryo's face he couldn't stay made at him. Bakura crawled over top of Ryo, pushing him back down into the soft mattress. Bakura's long white hair hanged down over his shoulders, his deep brown eyes looked deeply into Ryo's. Seeing the bright blush on Ryo's face Bakura couldn't help but smile as he inched his face closer to Ryo's.

"Don't treat me like I'm your pet Yadonushi." Bakura gave Ryo's head a little nudge back into his pillow.

"Don't be so mean Bakura. It's been nice these past few weeks." Ryo reached out his hand and placed it on Bakura's. The two looked into each other's dark brown eyes. With a sharp smile Bakura leans in and kissed Ryo's forehead before going in for a full out kiss on the lips.

Straddling Ryo from above, Bakura kissed Ryo deeper then he usually would this early in the morning. In the past Ryo would've fought back against his Yami, but since the days had gotten better, he's become more relaxed about it. As Bakura's tongue danced its way through Ryo's mouth, Ryo combed his thin white fingers through Bakura's long white hair. This deep kiss of mouth dancing lasted for a few minutes before the two had to break to catch some hair. The two let out heavy pants as they stared at each other, faces flushed and hearts racing fast.

"B-Bakura..."

"Yadonushi." Bakura buried his face in the base of Ryo's neck. Using his teeth, he lightly started to nibble at Ryo's flesh.

It started off as small tickles, but suddenly Bakura full out bit Ryo. Ryo let out a loud yelp when he felt the sharp pain.

"B-Bakura! What are going?! What was that for?!" Ryo went to push Bakura away, but his arms were pinned over his head.

"Hold still Yadonushi. I'm not done." Bakura licked the spot where he had bit Ryo. Licking then turned into sucking. Bakura sucked hard on the bit mark. Drawing out a little bit of blood as he did. The metallic taste of Ryo's blood slowly going down Bakura's throat had a rush go through in body.

Bakura released Ryo's skin to show a circle of teeth with a ring of purple, blue, and black. As he looked down at a red-faced Ryo, he felt something pocking at his back. With a smirk Bakura reached back and started feeling Ryo through the blankets.

"What's this? Is someone getting excited from a little love bite, hum?"

"That's not fair Bakura! Let me go for now. It's way too early for these kinds of things!" Ryo tried to push Bakura off him but Bakura just started to rub even harder against Ryo. Letting out soft moans Ryo buried his face in Bakura's bare chest and gripped tightly onto his forearms.

With all his might Ryo tried to hold back as much as he could, but with each stroke his body was starting to crumble from Bakura's touch. The pressure reached its climax and Ryo let out a sharp moan. His body released its fluids into the blanket of his bed and soaked through into Bakura's hand. With heavy pants Ryo fell back down on his pillow, out of breath. As he laid there flat on his back Ryo heard light chuckling coming from above him.

"Wh-what's so f-funny?"

"Yadonushi, you act so innocent, like Saint, but in reality, your just like me... tainted."

Hearing the word tainted suddenly made Ryo jump up. He glared at Bakura with his uncommon angry stare.

"I'm not tainted Bakura. I'm just like how I've always been. I'm me and that's that. Now, get off me, I want to take a shower. I feel grouse."

Ryo's serious tone took Bakura by surprise. Slowly he got off of Ryo and sat at the edge of the bed. He had ruined the mood once again. He had done this before, not watching what he said before he said it. It's like he has no filter.

Brushing the covers off him, Ryo stood up from his bed. Completely exposed from head to toe. His pale white skin glistened from the residue of sweat, his long white hair was sticking to his forehead and his back. Seeing his Yadonushi like his made Bakura want to wrap his arms around him and have his way with him again. But he had to hold back after what he had just done. He made Ryo mad, and you know what they say: "You have to be careful of the quite ones."

"B-Bakura..."

"Hum?"

"You can come in with me... if you want to." A light blush once again appeared on Ryo's pail white flesh.

Surprised with Ryo's sudden invitation a small smile made itself known on Bakura's face. He stood up from the edge of Ryo's bed, walked up behind him and wrapped his arms around his Yadonushi. He tightly held Ryo in his arms, not wanting to let him go. Looking back at Bakura, Ryo saw a slight pain in his face. Ryo turned and caressed both sides of Bakura's face before pecking his lips on his for a kiss.

"Always stay with me Bakura. Please."

"Idiot, of course I'll be by your side." Bakura once again held Ryo tightly against him. As he held Ryo, Bakura suddenly noticed that something was different about his body. He was more transparent than usual.

He was fading.

"No! I have to be by Yadonushi side. I can't leave him like this."
