*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Bakura was preparing for his date wearing the usual attire of leather and leather, but unknown to him he was being watched by two sad but hopeful brown eyes.

`I have to tell him tonight'.

Bakura reached for the door knob when he felt a small tug at his sleeve. He turned around and saw Ryou looking at him with big trustful eyes.

"Bakura wait I have to tell you something!"

"What is it Ryou?? Can't it wait until tomorrow? I have a date to go to and I can't leave Isis waiting now can I?" Bakura said quickly and reached for the knob for the second time but again he was stopped by a small hand.

"No Bakura, this can't wait" Ryou said quietly tears starting to form in his eyes. `No I have to be strong, I can do this…'

"Well spit it out!"

"Bakura I've been told that you have to tell people how you feel cause otherwise it might be too late when you do" Ryou started slowly

"O…k, and your point is"

"You know what? You really know how to piss me off. Last night you sent me over the edge and I was questioning my mentality......" He snapped fiercely showing unearthed anger that Bakura had never seen before.

"But I don't if you have seen this before…"

"I love you Bakura" He looked up at Bakura with hopeful teary brown eyes.

"……" Was the only reply Bakura could offer at the moment? `He loves me?!?!? But I'm not even gay… Am I??'

"Yeah I didn't think so… Sorry I bothered you" And he started to back away to the stairs. `How could I have been so stupid? There's no way he could ever love me'

"Ryou wait!" Bakura started to walk forward, but the look that crossed the small hikari's face even made Bakura stop and stare. It was a look of a broken soul.

"Bakura, Aside from my family, you are the only other person I have even said 'I love you' to. But its ok I don't think you understand what I mean, go on your date because obviously you don't love me as much as I love you" With that he ran up the stairs and locked himself in his room.

Bakura stood there for a moment staring at the spot where Ryou was standing. `He loves me…..' The chime of the clock brought Bakura back to reality.

"Shit I'm going to be late" and he ran out of the door leaving a very broken Ryou behind.

"I love you Bakura…" Ryou whispered softly to himself and two more tears were wept. `I really do' He layed down for a restless night.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Two weeks later*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*

Bakura and Isis were sitting at a restaurant. Isis was talking about her day and her weekly problems, but on the other hand Bakura was paying little to no attention to what she was saying since he was lost in thoughts of his own.

`What did he mean?? Of course I know what he meant! Why am I so frustrated over this?? It's not like I care… Do I?' Bakura gave a small sigh and went back to playing with the napkin.

`But did he mean it? But more importantly do I love him back? Wait am I gay….. Of course not I'm perfectly straight! I have a girlfriend for god sakes, but some how this just doesn't feel right any more… All I ever think about now is Ryou and it's driving me insane!'

*~*~*~**~*~*Flashback*~*~*~*~*~*

Ryou was sitting in his living room watching TV, unknown to him he was being watched by someone in the shadows.

`Look at him! He is acting so calm and collected like nothing ever happened. It is as though that night didn't exist! So what does that mean? That he has forgotten already… Is that all I ever was to him a one night fling?'

A small growl escaped Bakura's lips as anger flowed through his body. He slammed his fist into the wall and starred at the innocent Hikari who was the bringer of all of his problems.

`If I don't care then why does it hurt so much…?'

*~*~*~*~*~*~*End of flash back*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*

`It seems everyone is against me'

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Flash back*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Yami picked up Bakura and shoved him into the wall.

"Speak tomb robber! Why is Ryou walking around like a lost soul, like he doesn't care whether he lives or dies!?" Yami sneered at the albino looking for answers.

"Why do you care Baka pharaoh? It's not like he's your Hikari or your problem!" Bakura spat back crimson red starring into dusky brown.

"No, but when any Hikari spends nights crying on my hikari's shoulder then it becomes my problem!"

*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~End of flash back*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

His train of thoughts was interrupted by pissed off brunette.

"Bakura are you even listening to me?? What's with you today, you seem so distant. Now that I think about it you've been acting like this for the last two weeks!"

"Look Isis…. I need some time to think so maybe we could stop seeing each other for a while until I get my thoughts straight..."

"You're breaking up with me! Why? What ever I did I'm sorry!

"I'm sorry Isis….."

"Well at least give me a reason… " She asked quietly her crystal blue eyes silently filling up with tears.

"I told you my reason, I need some space..." Bakura said calmly taking her hands into his. `Yeah right I'm going to tell you the reason! What am I supposed to say? That I'm falling for my Hikari who happens to be a guy!!'

"Is that all? Are you sure, because you know you can tell me anything…"

"Yeah I know, good bye Isis" He gave her a peck on the cheek and walked out of the restaurant.
