After a long day at school, Ryou was on his way home, trying to get there quickly. He was getting worried about his other half, whom he couldn't get in contact with through the mind link or any normal means. When he arrived at the house they shared, the first thing Ryou noticed was that the front door lock looked as if someone tried to break in and the drops of blood everywhere. He swallowed hard and pushed the door open and gaspd at the complete disarray of the living room and kitchen. It looked as if a fight had occured within. He searched the first two rooms easily since there wasn't much to look under.

"Bakura?" He questioned as he moved further into the house, hearing nothing, not even the usual sound of faint breathing. He was starting to become more frightened as his mind kept putting scenarios in his head. As he walked past the island in the kitchen, he picked up one of the daggers laying there that looked untouched. He held it at his side as he went down the narrow hallway, stopping first at the bathroom and frowning seeing no one before moving on to the other rooms.

Soon after, he was outside his own room and checked inside, including under the bed and in the closet. After he came out and looked at the door across from his and rose an eyebrow noting it was open slightly, when he knew Bakura always had it closed. He stood beside the door, afraid to open it but knowing he should. "Bakura?" He said again, placing his hand on the wooden paneling before gently pushing the door open. He looked over the room, before stepping inside, knowing Bakura would probably kick his ass if he was caught. His eyes wandered over the made bed and he found himself walking over to the small table where the Millennium Ring lay. Of course now he worried as hell before he heard an uncharacteristic whimper. He couldn't be sure where the sound came from so he held his breath and listened for it again, glancing to the closet and over a set of daggers.

After a few minutes of waiting, he heard it again and determined it to be from somewhere within the room. He sat down on the bed and moved so that he could see on the other side of the bed. He gasped lightly seeing the silvery strands of the thief's hair before falling off the bed next to him. He got up and tried to figure out who or what had bested his Yami, who was laying on the floor, his arms tied behind his back and his legs also together. Ryou untied him and helped him onto the bed. After getting Bakura laying on the bed, Ryou looked in his eyes, frowning at the lack of focus in them. "What in Ra's name happened?" He asked quietly watching Bakura stare at him but not really at him. He waved a hand in front of his face to try to get his attention but it didn't work.

After that failed, Ryou took Bakura's arm to look for anything unusual, tilting his head at the lack of anything. "Okay, either he's in shock or he's drugged." He muttered to himself before reaching out for his own dagger and looking at Bakura before deciding whether or not he'd react. He shook his head then left, coming back shortly after with a syringe to allow Bakura to go to sleep. "Should be able to figure out something when he wakes." He whispered before giving Bakura the injection and waiting for him to fall asleep before covering him and sitting down watching him.
