[A/N: Yeah, I know that it's sorta late, but a wanted to start a Halloween story all of a sudden...I should have came up with this story sooner. Enjoy!]
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh
Bakura sat in his soul room silently . It was the dead of night in October, October 29th to be exact. Two days before Halloween. Bakura smirked.
"All Hallow's Eve." He said to no one in particular, "Like Christmas for the spirits!" Bakura could remember how he spent the holiday with his last host. Leisurely walking the streets guised in a mask and cape, going door-to-door to get money and other valuables. It was one of the greatest holidays that he had ever witnessed during the 3,000 years of his life. "Hikari?" he called from the ring. No answer, he forgot that his Ryou was a heavy sleeper. Bakura exited the ring and went into his physical form. "Ryou?" he called again. The boy stirred before slowly opening his eyes.
"Bakura?" Ryou mumbled. "What is it, did something happen?"
"No." Bakura chuckled. "I just have a question as all."
"Well what do you want to know?" he asked as he sat himself up and rubbed his eyes.
"How do you mortals spend All Hallow's Eve?" Ryou gave Bakura a blank stare.
"All Hollow's…Eve?" he asked as he scratched his head. "Can you explain what you would do on that holiday?"
"Well." Bakura started, "You would go door-to-door guised in an attire that you wouldn't normally wear and then people would give you gifts." Ryou pondered for a moment before he actually realized what his yami was talking about.
"Oh! You mean Halloween! It has a different name but it still has the same idea behind it. I bet you loved the option of Trick or Treat right?"
"Trick or what?" Bakura repeated, clearly puzzled at such a concept. "Enlighten me, what is this Trick or Treat nonsense?"
"It's what you say when you go up to somebody's door. If nobody answers the door, you can either go on to the next house or you can play a trick on them."
"Would allowing the creatures of the Shadow Realm to run amuck in the poor fool's house count as a trick?"
"Yes." Ryou sighed, "It does, but I would prefer that you wouldn't do that."
Bakura scowled. "You're so uptight. You suck the fun right out of engulfing an innocent soul in the shadows."
"Only you and Mariku would find something as abysmal as the Shadow Realm fun." Ryou commented. "So what kind of treats did you get? Candy?" A wide grin appeared on Bakura's face and it honestly started to scare Ryou.
"I skipped out on the candy and went to look for something a bit more….suited for my tastes."
"What did you do?" he asked, knowing good and well that he probably didn't want to hear the answer. "Steal from every living creature in town?"
"Hikari!" Bakura gasped, "Are you serious? Why would I do that?"
"Wow, really!" Ryou said. "That's... that's great because-"
"I stole from the richest part of town! Stealing from the whole town in one night? Do I look like this Santa fellow to you?"
'I spoke to soon…' Ryou thought. He should've known that a response like that was coming. "Why couldn't you just get the candy?"
"That crap tasted like hard watered down sugar. It would have been a waste of time walking the streets for something as horrible as that."
"I am positive that modern day candy tastes better than the stuff that you had back then." Bakura folded his arms and grunted at his hikari's response. "Can I please go back to sleep now?" Ryou asked. "I have school in the morning."
"Go ahead." He grumbled as he went back into the ring. The whole trick concept sounded promising but Bakura wished that they gave out anything but candy. He remembered when he first tried the stuff in Great Britain, it was like eating a hardened lump of sugar. Although in the end it tasted alright. After he put it in his cup of tea that is. "Hey hikari?" Bakura called from within the ring.
"Yes?"
"Can I try some modern day candy later?"
"We'll see in a couple of hours. I need some sleep first. Good night."
"Whatever, good night Ryou."
Ryou Bakura had awoken to a sweet, sticky odor lingering in his room. It was unlike anything he had ever smelled before in his life.
"What a peculiar smell." Ryou yawned. He wondered if some type of candy or food went rancid while he was sleeping. "I wonder where that smell is coming from?" Ryou hopped out of bed and looked around the room with curious eyes, just to make sure that nothing was out of the ordinary. "Nothing wrong in here." He said as he advanced into the kitchen. The odor had suddenly gotten stronger and Ryou's eyes were starting to tear up. His eyes scanned the room until he found the source of the smell. "Oh my…." Ryou muttered softly as his eyes grew wider.
What was that…that substance smeared on his walls?
"Ba...Bakura!" Ryou called. It was then that he mentally slapped himself. It was a school day, and that meant that his yami was somewhere pick-pocketing at this time. He ran back to his room and grabbed his cell phone. He was suddenly grateful that his dad actually bought him one of these. He pounded on the digits, trying to get a hold of Bakura. Maybe he could help him, or tell him what happened. Ryou was hopeful, and he knew that his yami was going to pick up…
That is, until he heard Bakura's ringtone in the other room. Ryou cursed under his breath, out off all of the times Bakura could've left his cell phone, he chose to leave it today. He decided to sit on the couch and try to calm down, "It's just fine, nothing happened." Ryou reassured himself. "Bakura probably spilled something on the walls while I was sleeping. Then again, you don't see a lot of people spilling things on walls right? Nope It had to be Bakura, he does the unexpected all of the time!" Ryou smiled, that had to be it. He was just freaking himself out by thinking that someone may have broken into his apartment.
*CRUNCH*
*CRUNCH*
*CRUNCH*
Ryou whipped his head towards the closet. 'Did…did something just go crunch?' he thought. Someone was really in his apartment! Fearing for his life, Ryou bolted out of his apartment and ran to the apartment directly across from his . He repeatedly pressed their door bell hoping to get an answer. Loud groaning was heard from the other side of the door.
"I ALREADY BOUGHT HALF OF YOUR FRIGGIN' GIRL SCOUT COOKIES! WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?"
"But it's Ryou…" Ryou whimpered. The door swung open before Ryou could say anything else.
"Hello my fluffly hikari friend." Mariku grinned mischievously. "What do you want?"
'I'm not going to make it to school on time, am I?' Ryou thought.
[A/N: Yeah, I know that Bakura doesn't change into physical form in the anime/manga. I'm also still debating on whether to continue this story or not(since October is almost over) but the chances are that I probably will.]
Thanks for reading, and remember to review(...and I just jinxed myself)
