-(b/n)'s POV-

Wh...what's going on?

I don't know why, but I feel extremely tired. I felt as if I haven't slept for days- oh crap, DID I MISS DINNER?!?! wait no, I shouldn't be thinking about that. My head hung low in dreariness, I felt so weary that I didn't even put in an effort to even try to open my eyes and figure out where the hell I even am. Instead, I tuned in to the voices that boomed through my ears. One of them seemed very recognizable though.

"Wow Bakura, even after all that in an attempt to hopefully become my compadre again, you expectedly failed as usual. Just like always."

"Well Marik, I thought I could prove to you that I AM capable of doing tasks on my own and-"

"Please, just stop talking, you useless rat. I've already heard the same nonsense before, many times. Now, if you don't leave this place immediately and let me handle the plan of capturing the millennium bracelet myself, then I will forcefully kick you out using the power of my millennium rod."

What the crap is going on??? Why is Bakura here with me?? Who is Marik?? Is he hot?? Do I dare to open my sleep-heavy eyes???

Yes. I do.

I jolted my eyelids awake, almost squealing with excitement over what I'm seeing!

Sweet mother of golden syrup on fluffy delicious pancakes! Marik is HOT!

I rolled my eyes around and spotted piles upon piles of super fancy jewelry. Geez! These guys must be rich! Wait a second, do they live with each other? Are they gay? Wait a second, they're both teenagers, they can't possibly be living on their own!

Depicting on the topic that they were arguing about and seeing how my ankles and wrists are chained to the wall of this circular-like room that showed no exit and how my mouth was covered with indestructible duct tape, I guess I should take matters at hand to a more serious level. Yet, I'm still pretty worn out and still have no idea why.

In an attempt to fight back against my tiredness and to find answers for myself, I tried my best to yank myself free from the chains, to be set free like a bird from its cage.

It was hopeless, though. I felt like a prisoner. Why are they keeping me chained up like this? I can still hear them arguing, do they even know I'm here?

"Oh, and I suggest you kill the girl that you used as a pawn."

"What Marik?!? There's no point in killing her!"

"Well I don't want her in our lair with us. And didn't you say she's a friend of...you know..."

"(y/n)?"

"YES DAMMIT! THAT! THAT FILTH OF A NAME! THAT INBUCILE DOESN'T DESERVE THE MILLENIUM BRACELET OR FRIENDS IF I MUST!!"

My fingers went numb. They're talking about (y/n) and I...but why? My whole body quivered, Marik is going to kill me. The animosity in his tone said it all, and there's nothing I can do but stare and watch.

What has (y/n) been hiding from me if it meant that I too could be put in danger?

"Yes, Marik. For your clarification, it appears that this girl is named (b/n). Before departing ways after she set me free from YOUR trap, I figured that it could be possible for (b/n) to be a friend of (y/n)'s, so I placed a sort of 'marker' on her using the powers of my millennium ring, that if she were to ever be near the millennium bracelet, I would be fully capable of controlling her at will and seizing the powerful artifact for Zorc."

WAIT WAIT WAIT HOLD UP! BAKURA CONTROLLED ME?!?! Is this why I feel so mysteriously tired? Did him controlling me just drain me of my energy? And who's Zorc? Is he hot as well?

"Yeah, well, look what happened you idiot. You should have just stopped at trying to seize the millennium bracelet since you can't do anything right, you dipshit. You're so stupid."

Bakura's hands clenched into strong fists, his body pulsing with anger.

Oh crap, are they going to fight?

"Please Marik, just...don't kill her."

I startled at the sound of Marik's abrupt laughter, "HAHAHA OH WHAT NOW?!?! YOU LIKE (B/N) ALSO?!?! JUST LIKE HOW YOU HAVE A FOND FOR (Y/N)?!" Marik's laughter died down. He wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, "Oh please Bakura, you've gone wayyy too soft for your own good."

BAKURA LIKES MY BFF?!?! NO WAY!!!! EXCUSE YOU?!?! SHE HAS A BOYFRIEND!!!  I really wish I could scream right now. But then again, Marik would probably stab me in the heart with the end of his rod-thingy.

"There's no reason for (b/n) to die."

Damn right.

"And correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you the one who said that he would kill (y/n) since I couldn't do it 'correctly'?"

I sucked in my breath, my eyes felt like they were beginning to pop out like popcorn in a popcorn machine. I felt chilled to the bone.

They...they were gonna kill (y/n)?

"YOU DARE QUESTION ME?!! Listen brat, I'm waiting for the right time to strike. I want to bring her down in the most devastating way possible."

"And what would that be?"

The ends of Marik's lips curled into an evil smile. A smile that spoke for itself.

"To murder her in front of her loved ones."

No....NO!

I yanked and pulled. Yanked and pulled. I made as much infuriating noise with the chains as possible, trying to get their attention. I have to fight these guys, no, I have to arrest  these guys!

"PIPE DOWN YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

Marik walked over towards me and stood before me. I looked up into his eyes. Even though I couldn't speak with my mouth, I spoke through the rebellious glare of my eyes. Let me go! Don't you even think about setting one of your filthy hands on my (y/n)!

We held each others stares for a long time. It was excruciating. Every second that passed by spiked my hatred for this guy higher and higher.

"Bakura...," he said slowly, as if making clear instructions. "You might wanna step back, I don't think you're gonna like what you are about to watch."

Without a breath, Marik pinned me down and kneeled on top of me, his legs at both of my sides. His back stood straight, which made me have to tilt my head back to look at his horrid expression. He raised his rod, the item he held in his hand, high above his head. The pointy end of the rod was aiming towards me.

I closed my eyes.

Please, (y/n), no matter what....please be safe...

"GOOD LORD OF TAMIAS! IS THAT THE LIGHT OF THE MILLENIUM BRACELET?!?!"

____________________________________________

-(Your POV)-

Yami was right!

It worked!

I couldn't see anything as the blindingly bright light of the millennium bracelet lit the entire room, but my ears could pick up the sound of a voice clearly as it shouted:

"GOOD LORD OF TAMIAS! IS THAT THE LIGHT OF THE MILLENIUM BRACELET?!?!"

Ah Marik. Good ol' Marik. One of Bakura's goons who tried to steal my millennium bracelet back when me, Yami, and the rest of our friends were at the arcade in Japan.

Another dickhead.

"Yup. The brightest light in all of the world," you chirped.

Yami pulled you close to him, which startled you a bit. He whispered in your ear, "Actually honey, I think that might be you."

A sweet breath escaped your lips and you blushed wildly. Come on babe, not right now,  you thought with an inner laugh.

Finally, the light vanished. You felt as if you had a new pair of glasses on, for now you can see what was around you!

And the first thing you noticed is (b/n) being pinned down by Marik.

"YOU LITTLE-"

But before you lunged over there to rescue her, Yami stopped you and ran passed you and yanked Marik off of (b/n). Marik was caught off guard because he was still rubbing his eyes from the super bright light of the millennium bracelet. He tried to fight back against Yami's grip, but Yami, being the extremely buff and mighty person as he is, throws Marik across the lair to the other side of the wall. Marik's body impacted the wall very hard, knocking him out as he landed on the floor with a 'thump'.

You looked at the unconscious Marik and laughed, "HAHA LOL WEAK," you said proudly. You rushed back to (b/n) and Yami, both of you guys kneeled at both of her sides.

"(b/n)...," your voice cracked as you saw the overflowing of relief and thankfulness flooding the color of your best friend's eyes. Her mouth was taped shut with duct tape and she was chained to the wall by her wrists and ankles. You began to cry, seeing your friend in a horrible state like this was something you couldn't just look away from.

You held her hand. It was ice cold. You spoke in between tears, "What did they do to you...?"

"She will be alright (y/n), she doesn't look beaten up, just...very tired," Yami pointed out. "Come on, let's try and remove this duct tape very carefully."

You nodded and the both of you eventually removed the duct tape from her mouth completely. (b/n) gave a few grimaces from the pain, but we did our best not to painfully hurt her during the process.

As soon as the wretched duct tape came off of her beautiful face, she breathed in and out at a rapid pace, as if she hasn't been breathing at all, even though she was able to through her nose. "(y/n)...I'm just so glad your safe!! They're out to kill you!! And..," her eyes averted down to your millennium bracelet, "steal some bracelet of yours for some reason..."

"Yeah...," you wiped the tears away, "I know." You looked at Yami, who nodded his head as if he were reading your mind about what you were just about to say to (b/n). You looked back at (b/n) and sighed, "(b/n)...I have a lot to tell you-"

"But not right now," Yami interrupted, "we should first get you out of these chains and go back to town, away from this lair."

(b/n) looked down disappointedly at the trap she was in, "But how? I've been trying as best as I could to break free from these things but it's no use."

"Here."

The three of you directed your attention to Bakura. The three of you completely forgetting that he was even there. He was taking steps towards you guys, his facial expression plastered with relaxed calmness. You and Yami kept your guard though, ready to strike back if he was thinking about attacking us. Instead, he knelt down at (b/n)'s feet and pulled out a key from his pocket. He reached over and grasped her hand, inserting the key into a keyhole which resulted in the sound of a 'click' and her hand was set free. He did this to her other hand and then her ankles.

Yami and I reflected the same expression: bewilderment. Did Bakura really just help us out for once? Why was he doing this?

"Th-thank you Bakura," (b/n) said with the same look of surprised shock written on her face.

Bakura sighed and looked down at the key in his hand, "You helped set me free when I was trapped, so I'm just returning the favor..."

"WELL I SHOULD HAVE NEVER SET YOU FREE YOU FREAKING MURDEROUS, GREEDY, PATHETIC JERK!" (b/n) shouted and slapped Bakura across the face.

"Bakura, what are your intentions now?" Yami asked, his voice slowly rising as he spoke, "Do you still yearn to have the millennium bracelet within your grasp or what? Have you finally given up? It's best if you say the truth now before further consequences. It seems each passing moment, my wonderful girlfriend learns a new and incredible ability of the millennium bracelet and sooner or later, she will have the ability to stop you once and for all."

Your smile beamed. Your wonderful boyfriend felt oh-so proud of you. You've never felt so appreciated in your life, Yami is the best and you know it. There's no one else like him. After all this mess is cleared up, you'll have the chance to spend so much time with Yami without worrying about distractions such as millennium items and greedy villains and whatnot. The thought sent fluttering butterflies flying around busily inside your body.

Bakura rubbed the side of his face where (b/n) slapped him and replied solemnly, "It's not just me that you have to go through Pharaoh. Or Marik." 

He stood up and walked directly to a particular area of the wall and said, "Pharaoh, (y/n), (b/n), meet Zorc."
