Drabble Notes – Yami no Bakura/Shou, AU, written as a request. I don't write Bakura often and as a result I don't write him very well.

"Shut up! I won't let anyone talk about my brother in that way!" Shou screamed as loud as his little lungs would let him.

Tilting his head Bakura looked him up and down, eyes filled with amused disbelief.

"You're his brother? That simply can't be possible," the spirit mused, "There's no resemblance at all. Sure, he's depressive, but he had strength and an attractive build at least. You… You're just a little gnat. Small, whiny, nerdier than even Yugi… I'm not surprised he didn't mention you."

Shou put on his brave face. At least if the spirit was insulting him then he wasn't insulting Ryo…

"I won't listen to you, you can't hurt me," he said, more for his own reassurance then for Bakura to hear.

"On the contrary I could list five different ways to kill you from the top of my head," answered Bakura. He wanted to psyche the kid out before attacking him.

"N-no!" Shou called, shaking his head, "Juudai has protected me from tougher people then you before!" He hoped that were true…

Another friendship geek? Well, if Bakura couldn't get his hands on one of Yugi's friends he might as well damage someone who had the same beliefs as them…

"There's one problem with that theory kid," Bakura pointed out grinning, "None of your friends are here to protect you."
