'Blah' thoughts
Ryou's P.O.V.
I was woken up from my deep and peaceful sleep by some dreadful noise above me. 'If whatever that is, is this noisy, I feel sorry for Bakura. He has to hear it even louder from the way sound travels down here.
Going up to the ground level, I went into the auditorium to see a really ugly lady singing horribly. Me, being the polite person that I am, go to the owner who was sitting there and ask him what the racket is all about. Before I continue, let me explain something. The owner knows both me and Bakura, except he's scared to death of Bakura, and almost adores me. Gee, I wonder why.
"I'm sorry Ryou. I forgot that you are right under the stage, or else I would have held auditions somewhere else," apologized the owner (A/N: This is getting tiring typing "the owner". I'm just going to make the owner Seto Kaiba, k?)
"That's all right, Seto, I know you didn't mean to forget. I'll just visit Bakura for a while," I said watching Seto pale when I said my brother's name. Smiling, I just walk away into the front hall. Stopping in front of a statue of an Egyptian man, I looked around quickly. Seeing that the coast was clear, I pulled the snake on the headdress down, and watched as a hidden door opened up before me.
Entering the passage, I wound my way down to a spot where I knew there were two trip wires that set off a chain reaction when hit. Fortunately, I can jump them both. Backing up enough, I ran towards the first wire. Jumping before I hit it, I sailed over the two wires and landed quite gracefully, only to be swept upside down to hang in the air by a foot. Trying to get free, I suddenly heard a laughter that was harsh yet gentle at the same time.
"Let me down Bakura," I said calmly, "I don't find your snare trap funny."
Bakura chuckled as he cut the rope, causing me to fall onto my head.
"I know where you land after jumping my wires, so I set a trap just for you," laughed Bakura, his eyes sparkling with mirth.
Bakura's POV
I love it when I outsmart my younger brother. It's the only way I can get even with him for not having to be cursed with a face that not even a mother can love.
"By the way," I started as I helped Ryou up, "What the hell is that horrible racket?"
Now it was Ryou's turn to laugh. "Seto's having auditions for a new singer. Personally, none are good," said Ryou as we began to walk.
"So that's what it is. I thought Seto had cracked and brought in livestock," I said as we reached the underground river that led to my home.
Ryou paused and listened. Then he started laughing. "You're right. The echoes make it sound that way," he said. We kept walking in silence till we reached my home. Flopping down, on a couch when we entered, a thought crossed my head.
"Were there even any that showed the slightest potential?" I asked. Sighing when Ryou shook his head, I stood up.
"Where are you going?" asked Ryou.
Smirking, I looked over my shoulder at Ryou. "If I have to suffer listening to them," I said, my grin growing bigger, "They have to be able to not be afraid of the feared 'Phantom' paying visits."
Normal POV
Seto sighed in boredom and annoyance. The auditions weren't going well at all. Seto was just about to call it a day and send them all on their way, when an evil cackle echoed from somewhere in the auditorium. Everyone jumped, and at once Seto glanced up at box 5. He swore he saw a shadow deep within the box and figured that it was Bakura's way of saying hello.
Bakura let loose another evil laugh and watched the auditioners scatter like chickens. Oh how he loved doing that. Once the last auditioner left the auditorium, Bakura heard Seto say, "That's not funny Bakura, I need new singers."
"Well, if you didn't audition horrible singers, I wouldn't do that," sneered Bakura coming out of the shadows and looking down at Seto's furious face.
"I don't have time for this," muttered Seto leaving angrily because Bakura outsmarted him again.
Bakura watched him go with an amused grin. "Remember, Kaiba," called Bakura, "The score is now 150 to zero in my favor!"
"Aggh!"
YSF: giggle poor Seto. I'm sorry that these chapters are so short. I'm trying my best, but I don't remember the story that well. I promise that it'll be longer next chapter.
