A/N: Random, because I haven't posted anything in a while. A looong while.

Summary: Ryou stands up for himself and shocks Bakura stupid.

----------------------------

Ryou shook the water from his hair as he stepped into his shared apartment, stepping out of his shoes and closing the door behind him. Today was just not his day. First he was late for school because Bakura had been screaming at him because he couldn't find the remote. Then he remembered that he had a math test that he did not study for, and therefore had probably failed. Lunch was looking up, until he remembered he didn't have anything because Bakura had decided to lock Ryou out until midnight. His last two classes went well, Jou had only managed to mix one explosive chemical with fire instead of his usual three, and history had gone smooth.

Then it started raining. This would have been fine had he thought to bring an umbrella. But nooo. He just had to leave it at home. So Ryou had been forced to walk the 20 minutes home in the pouring rain with no umbrella. The normally calm and soft spoken teen was at his wits end. Shrugging off his jacket, he hung it in the closet and dropped his school bag on the floor.

"Took you long enough. Where the hell were you?" Ryou froze at the tone in Bakura's voice. The ex-tomb robber was clearly pissed about something and Ryou got the feeling he fully intended to take it out on him.

"I'm only 15 minutes late Bakura." Ryou sighed as he stepped into the kitchen.

"Exactly. What did I tell you, you pathetic excuse of a hikari?" Bakura grabbed Ryou by the hair and jerked his head back so Ryou was looking at him upside down. Ryou closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Snapping his eyes back open the normally shy teen did something he never thought he would.

"Bakura...go fuck yourself."
