Bakura shook in pain as he lied on the floor, blood dripping from the gashes all along his body causing to form a puddle beneath him.  He winced slightly as he heard Ryou's footsteps walking alongside his prone form before halting.  He then heard a dark cackle come from his ex-hikari.

"So weak.  So pathetic.  Such a being like you couldn't possibly be as strong as you say."

Ryou looked down at the thief and with a smirk, picked up one of his left clawed feet and smashed it down on the yami's back harshly.  Bakura let out a pained filled scream, more blood running down from his mouth and back making the pool below him grow.  Ryou grinned at Bakura's pain.

Suddenly a thought came to Ryou, making him stop him in his tracks of harming Bakura further.  Placing his clawed hand under his chin, he plastered a serious frown on his face in deep thought.

"Hmm...perhaps I shouldn't kill you now..." grinning again, he looked down at the prone form of his ex-yami, "...but maybe...maybe I should do something worse, one that will make you beg for death."

Bakura's eyes snapped open widely, horror and, for once, fear filling his eyes.  Before he could try to move away, a clawed foot grabbed his head in a tight grasp, causing him to yell in pain (since he was hit in the head pretty hard). Ryou's grin grew as he grabbed the thief by the neck harshly, causing the yami to gag and grab at Ryou's arm in a tight grasp of his own.

"See here now, the Great King of Thieves, horrified and frightened beyond his life." Ryou's grin widened further to the point where you could see his cheek muscles at the corner of his mouth, "What would the people say 5000 years ago if they saw you now?"

Bakura's hands tried to get the hand that was around his neck to loosen, but was failing. "R-Ryou..."

Ryou's blood red eyes flashed viscously and with a raise of his right hand, backhanded the thief hard.

"Filthy humans like you have no right to call us by name!" he hissed.

Ryou's scowl turned back into his fanged grin.  "Now then...let us continue shall we, pet?"

Bakura started to struggle, his throat sore an raw from all the screaming he has done and sore from all the aches and gashes a long his body.

"R-Ryou...w-what...what...do...you p-plan to...to d-do with...with m-me?" he asked in a raspy voice.

Ryou grinned before letting out a dark laugh, causing Bakura to shiver in slight fear.  Ryou stopped laughing and stared down his ex-yami, eye flashing in excitement and determination.  He slowly brought Bakura down so that he was face to face with the thief and whispered in his ear.

"I plan to make you bear my child...a child of darkness...a child of the next generation."

Bakura's eyes doubled in size at what Ryou said.  He once again started to struggle against Ryou's tight grip around his throat, trying in vain to get away from who was no longer his hikari.  Ryou just laughed at the thief's attempt to get away and grinned.

"You're a fool, Bakura.  Struggling is futile."

Leaning so he was face to face with Bakura, Ryou whispered, "Besides...this won't hurt..." he grinned wider, "...much."

Bakura was frantic now.  'I've got to get out of here!  Oh Ra what do I DO?!'

A strange noise sounded in front of him, causing his struggling to cease.  He gulped quietly and slowly turned his head to face Ryou.

His eyes widened to full size.

His eyes landed to something slithering inside the ex-hikari's mouth, something dark and grotesque.  Bakura could taste the bile rising in his throat as he watched the thing continue to slither around in the possessor's mouth.

'That...is disgusting.' he thought.

There was a sudden screeching sound, and whatever was inside Ryou's mouth shot out.  Bakura let out a strangled yelp.

'By the God's....what is that?'

The 'thing' that extended from the possessor's mouth was 'definitely' grotesque alright, he thought.  It had dark, black patterns all over its body, red coloring mixed with black extending from its head down to where ever it ends.  Its jaws were that of a sharp beak, with points that extruded from the sides of both the top and bottom of its mouth.  He noticed that the small creature didn't have any eyes, but it had what looked like spikes on the top and bottom of its head.  Five long, bony, yet hooked, looking legs produced from each of its sides, their meaning for digging and hooking onto whatever they grab.

The creature let out another screech at Bakura, its legs flailing widely in attempt to get towards the ex-spirit.  Ryou watched the thief's face change from fear to absolute horror as his eyes continued to stare at the little creature.  The possessor cackled.

"Bakura...Bakura...terrified little Bakura..." Ryou said with a grin, "fearing his fate of torment and absolute pain...Bakura....Bakura..."

Ryou's torments nearly drove Bakura over the edge of insanity.  His heart still pounded wildly in his chest, the gashes still stinging horribly...he didn't want this...he didn't want this...

And with that, Bakura finally snapped.

"S-s-stop...please....stop...please don't..." Bakura begged.

Ryou just laughed at the thief's useless begging.

"I'm afraid not..."

Before Bakura could utter another word, the little shadow creature lunged at Bakura, forcing itself into the thief's mouth.

Bakura started to gag, the blood from his mouth running down his lower jaw like a waterfall.  He could feel the creature moving down his throat and past his heart.  More blood started to rise in his throat as he gaged.  He suddenly felt the creature stop inside him at the stomach part of his body.  At first he thought that the creature had found nothing interesting, but he was oh so wrong.  Bakura let out a strangled scream as he started to feel the creature rip and tear at his insides, trying to make a burrow inside of him before doing its thing.  His throat was becoming more sore and raw feeling the more he screamed.  Finally what seemed like hours, he felt the creature back out from him and out of his body, returning from whence it came.  Ryou grinned and dropped the thief on the ground, taking satisfaction when he heard the loud thud and the whimper of pain the thief let out.  He licked his lips of the ex-thief's blood that the creature had splattered on when returning to him.

"By the end of this week the child shall be fully developed.  I will be back by then." Grinning, he grabbed Bakura by his hair, laughing at the thief's pain etched across his face.

"Don't try anything reckless, Bakura.  The pain will be excruciating when it develops.  You will be wishing to die."

Bakura just whimpered in reply, unable to speak cause of his very sore throat.

"And don't try to kill yourself either, no matter how much that would please me.  It will not kill the child."  he continued to grin as he looked down at the thief in his grasp, "Nor will your 'Shadow Magic'."

Ryou let out an evil laugh as he continued to walk away from his torture scene and back to the Game Shop where everyone else was, dragging behind him, the carrier of his future child.
