Acceptance
A/N: I'm back with a new chapter. Read and enjoooyyy.
Chapter 2
Bakura's POV
I was becoming very frustrated. I am trying to materialise myself in the real world but I do not know if that is even possible. If I had a spell book or something of the sort I would be able to find a spell that could enable me to materialise. I wonder if Ryou would have an idea about spell books.
\\Ryou...\\
/Yes?/
\\Do you know anyone that is in possesion of a spell book?\\ I asked him through the mind-link.
/Yes actually I do./
\\Really!? Who? Tell me now radamnit!\\ I let hopefulness and interest flow through the mind-link.
/His name is Marik. He is a Tombkeeper./ Ryou responded. I shut the mind-link for a moment so I could think. If he's a Tombkeeper then he could allow Ryou access to a spell book so I can have a body. I reopened the link.
\\Do you think he will grant you access to it?\\ I asked my host. I was hoping that this would be a sure-fire way of getting my incredible body back.
/Maybe, but I don't really know. I suppose if we're lucky he will let me borrow it, if we aren't lucky he will not let me even near it./ Ryou replied. I could tell that he wasn't trying to be pessimistic or optimistic. He was trying to give us a fifty-fifty chance of me getting my body back. I shut the mind-link once more as a curious thought ran around in my head like a fennec fox. Why is he a tombkeeper? Does he protect the Pharaoh's tomb from when I was the King of Thieves? If so then I doubt I could trust him.
\\When will you be able to meet with him?\\ I asked Ryou as soon as I reopened the mind-link. I sensed Ryou pause for a moment or two.
/Tomorrow. It will be Sunday and he will most likely be at the Museum./ Ryou responded with a substantial amount of certainty.
\\Perfect. Could you ask him when you meet him?\\ I asked Ryou almost pleadingly. Yes, I Bakura have stooped so low as to plead.
/Sure thing. I have a question for you though./ Ryou told me.
\\What is your question Ryou?\\ I asked him curiously.
/Why do you need a spell book?/ Ryou questioned me. I bit my lip considering my answer. Should I tell him? Perhaps telling him might satisfy his curiosity for now.
\\I need a spell book to try and materialise in the real world.\\ I told him, I surprised myself, I thought I would phrase it in an entirely different way but I didn't.
/At least you told me the truth./ He commented after obvious contemplating of my answer. I was wondering if he would meet the Tombkeeper or not. Then I heard a strange ringing noise and another voice.
"Marik Ishtar speaking." The other voice announced.
"Hi Marik it's Ryou." Ryou responded.
"Oh hey Ryou! Haven't seen you in a while! What have you been up to?" The other voice was being somewhat forceful.
"Not much I suppose. Just schoolwork and the like. You?" Ryou asked the voice I now know as Marik the same question. It seemed like it was correct protocol when talking to somebody you know well.
"Just work at the Museum with Ishizu. So why'd you call at this ungodly hour?" Marik questioned Ryou.
"I was wondering, since you are a Tombkeeper do you happen to own a spell book?" Ryou asked him. There was a tinge of nervousness creeping slowly into the link.
"Yes actually I do own a spell book. Are you interested in magic?" Marik asked Ryou.
"Yes, I am. Could you let me read it or even borrow it?" Ryou asked Marik. Heh, I sense a half-truth. /Bakura how long do you need it for?/ Ryou asked me.
\\A week.\\ I replied.
"Alright Ryou. How long do you want it for?" Marik asked.
"Ehhh... a week. Is that okay with you Marik?" Ryou suggested.
"Sure thing Ryou! I'll give it to you tomorrow at the museum. Meet me at the entrance at 1 o'clock!"
"Alright Marik I'll see you then. Talk to you tomorrow." Ryou stated as he terminated the conversation.
"Bye Ryou! Don't forget the project on Tuesday!" Marik shrieked out. He sounds really feminine. Ryou finally ended the call.
\\Ryou what's a project?\\ I asked him the meaning of that foreign word.
/A project is when one or more people construct a presentation for others to witness. Sometimes projects can be interesting or boring./ Ryou explained. That was a really long explanation. But five thousand years is even longer so I am unable to complain.
\\Who tells you to complete these "projects?"\\ I was extremely curious by now. There is so much to learn in this strange place than back home in Kul Elna.
/Teachers usually. If it's not teachers then it is the school bullies who pick on bully magnets./ Ryou swiftly respinded to my previous thought. Bullies? Never heard of them. In Kul Elna you had to help each otherwise you would be thrown out of the village and left to fend for yourself in the desert. According to the village Elder's being thrown out taught you decency, modesty and respect. But the village Elder's were murdered the same way the rest of Kul Elna was. Thrown into a cauldron, some dead and some alive.
\\What are bullies and bully magnets Ryou?\\ I asked him. There is so many confusing concepts to learn now.
/Bullies are people who pick on others so they can pump up their ego. Bully magnets are people that attract bullies./ Ryou stated. All that knowledge has caused me to think that bullies should have the Shadowrealm as their home.
\\How do you attract a bully though?\\ I questioned him.
/You act, walk, talk or look different to most people. That's what makes a bully magnet. Take me for example, I've got white hair and I have a british accent. Therefore I'm a bully magnet./ I couldn't believe what I was hearing. That must suck for Ryou.
\\I believe it is time for bed Ryou.\\
/Yes it is. Goodnight Bakura./
\\Night Ryou.\\
