It hadn't taken long for him to realize that, out of all of the people he called friends, only two of them were willing to accept his yami.

Anzu and Yugi had always been the more understanding members of their group and that became even more obvious when Yami and Bakura had been given their own bodies shortly after Battle City. Anzu had been the first to approach the two white haired males and greet them as if it were perfectly normal. Yugi soon followed after, asking him and Bakura if they wanted to come hang out at the Game Shop.

"We plan to watch a couple movies and possibly play truth or dare," his shorter friend explained, a smile spread over his features. "Why not come join us?"

"As lovely as that sounds, Yadonushi and I have things to discuss." His yami answered for them, tone level and uninterested. Weird, I almost expected him to sneer… But then again, the white haired male standing beside him was somehow different from the spirit he had become accustomed to. Tan, a few inches taller than Ryou with a scar stretching over the right side of his face, this male was quieter than and not nearly as dark as his yami had been. This was someone he didn't quite know.

"Oh, well, maybe next time!"

"If that is acceptable to you, Yadonushi?" Blinking, he nodded silently. "Then we will see you next time," the taller male said as he reached over and turned Ryou, pushing him in the direction of his – their- home. "Come, little one, we have much to speak about." Ryou allowed the larger male to guide him away from his friends as his mind was flooded with questions.

The walk home seemed to take longer than it should have. Has it always taken this long? Was it wrong for Ryou to be irritated? It wasn't even irritation, really. It was the anxious curiosity that had him fidgeting and sighing every few minutes. The fact that the hand pressed to his lower back hadn't moved since it had landed itself there was certainly not helping his nerves. Looking up, he caught sight of his apartment and inwardly jumped for joy. Finally! Quickening his pace, he moved up the steps and to his, unlocking it quickly and kicking his shoes off.

"Someone was eager to get home," the amused comment came from behind him. "Well, I suppose I can understand why. I assume you have questions for me, yes?" Ryou turned and watched his darker half approach him. Nodding, he moved into the living room and sat down on the couch before gesturing for the yami to join him. "Well, let's get started then, Yadonushi."
