Sweet. I just love how it's yami/hikari, but not one of those mushy gaga pairings that seem to plauge most stories.

"I never claimed to be like other people, though. The light purple hair is kind of a giveaway, after all. You might think I was in some kind of anime if you judged just by my looks, and the looks of the others. After all, Yugi has three colors in his hair, and I think they're all natural. We're anime material, all right."

Breaking the fourth wall, are we? xD

O, an /excellent/ little fic - great study of the inside of Ryou's head. Poor kid, just imagine trying to live with Bakura... plus, I've always liked the fics that have the yamis and hikaris like two halves of a whole, and this certainly gives that impression.

Very, very nice.

Absolutely fabulous. I love it!

A nice monologue for Bakura-kun... There's far too many fictions out there that have him fawning all over his dark entity (and having his other self /return/ such attention), so it's nice to see something with actual character personalities taken into account.

Dub knowledge, I'm assuming, from the terms in the story. Which is alright, since you're consistant with them. Except for the use of yadonushi; generally, extraneous Japanese usage in fics detracts from the story, rather than adds. When a word can be easily translated (into host, in this case), it's usually better to just use the translation. Fangirl Japanese shows nothing except that one knows a few random words and decides to use them. Though, at least, you use the correct term that the Dark Bakura would use. There's a lot of people who don't...

Style's a little basic, but characterization is good, and it's easy to follow and read. I spotted some spelling errors; they're things that running it through a basic spellchecker would be able to fix. Formatting is good.

Still, a nice little monologue...

Very cool, writing on such a concept. Before reading your story, I never really considered that Ryou might -miss- having yami Bakura around. Even if he is cruel towards him, it would be frightening to loose part of his mind. Literally.

This is such a kawaii story. Ryou cares so much for Bakura, despite Bakura being a complete ass. (And what a nice ass he HAS! Heh heh... ) Try and update this. I absolutely love this story, but I admit I'm easy. I adore Bakura/Ryou stories, fluff or not. But especially yaoi! Then again, who doesn't? If you like Bakura/Ryou stories, you should read my ficcy, "An Edge and a Charm". It's a vamp fic, I know. But it's my first GOOD one! (Totalimmortal SUCKED... -_-) Anyway, sorry to waste your time.

I really loved this one... good on you!
(The summary especially!)
I thought you got Bakura's 'voice' down really well and it was a good ending.
(Ah! I'm so rubbish at reviewing. Oh well. - what I really meant to say was I enyoyed reading this and I hope you write more.)
