Ryou was at home thinking about his first day and what a day it was. The constant stares, the new schuedule, the new friends and Yana's beautiful voice. He'd never heard such a voice. She was way better than Love And War's lead singer, Lacey Kairi. The way Yana held her notes for so long...whoa!

Ryou was laid on his bed, i-pod earphones stuffed in his ears and on full blast, the song was Drowning Pool - Bodies. (That is an awesome song. Total Moshpit song.) Suddenly there was a knock on the door, making Ryou come back to reality and say, "Come in."

There stood his father, arm against the door frame, face held a small grin. "How was your day? I never had chance to ask before you bolted up the stairs. What was wrong? Got a girlfriend already, Ryou?" At this Ryou sat up on his bed, a look of embarressment on his face.

"Dad! It's my first day!...Okay I got a few stares...a lot of stares, but I didn't even think of that. I'm not brave enough to talk to a girl, let alone ask her out! You know that." The both laughed at the remark, but it soon died down. "But I did make some friends today. Quite a few. There was Bakura Touzoku, Marik and Malik, Yami and Yugi, Joey, Tea, Tristan. Oh, and Yana too. She's so cool! She can sing and she's competing in this year's Battle of the Bands! I can't wait!" Ryou beamed like a white lightbulb, causing his father to stifle a laugh. "What's so funny?" He asked, wonderiong why his dad was laughing at him.

"Seems to me that you like this girl, Ryou. You spoke more about her than all the others you made." He chuckled. Ryou blushed a little and drooped his head to make his hair go over his face. "It's okay, son. It's natural to like a girl at your was the same age I met your mother." His father suddenly turned serious at the sweet memory of their first encounter. "Well you know I'm leaving in the morning. And no parties when I'm gone, or you're in big trouble." He warned jokingly, making Ryou grin.

"Oh damn it. And I had already made plans." He replied sarcastically. They both laughed together until Ryou's dad left the room, saying "Love you Son." Only then did Ryou let his smile drop and look down. If he really loves me, he wouldn't always leave me to go to egypt to fend for myself. He was never there for me...oh well. At least I've learned the real world earlier than planned. Smiling sadly, Ryou walked to his guitar in the corner of the bedroom and began to play.

I Open My Lungs Dear
I Sing This Song At Funerals
No Rush
These Lyrics Heard A Thousand Times
Just Plush
Baby Boy You've Held So Tightly
This Pain It Visits Almost Nightly
Missing Hotel Beds
I Feel Your Touch

I Will Wait Dear
A Patient Of Eternity
My Crush
A Universal Still
No Rust
No Dust Will Ever Grow In This Frame
One Million Years I Will Say Your Name
I Love You More Than I Can Ever Scream

We Booked Our Flight Those Years Ago
I Said I Love You As I Left You
Regrets Still Haunt My Hollow Head
But I Promised You I Will See You Again
Again

I Sit Here And Smile Dear
I Smile Because I Think Of You
And Blush
These Bleeding Hollow Dials
This Fuss
A Fuss Is Made Of Miles And Travels
When Roadways Are But Stones And Gravel
A Bleeding Heart Can Conquer Every Crutch

We Booked Our Flight Those Years Ago
You Said You Loved Me As You Left Me
Regrets Still Haunt Your Saddened Head
But I Promised You I Will See You

We Booked Our Flight Those Years Ago
I Said I Love You As I Left You
Regrets No Longer In My Head
But I Promised You And Now I'm Home Again
Again
Again
I'm Home Again
(Black Veil Brides - The Mortician's Daughter)

Sighing, Ryou decided that he should really be getting to bed. He wanted to be up early to see his Dad off, not that it mattered. Sliiping into his pj's, he laid on top of his bed, hands under his head, and closed his eyes softly.

Yana sat on her bed, notebook in hand, pen in other. It was hard to finish the end of their song. There was just one line left.

Now let's see...What can rhyme with friend? She thought to herself. "Damn! I can't think!" She yelled after her brain went dead. "What the Hell rhymes with friend?"

"How about end?" A voice called from Yana's bedroom door. The poor girl fell out of her chair from fright. The voice felt a fit of laughter want to escape her throat and it slipped out as an evil cackle. Yana turned and glared at her older sister, Yala. Angry, but only playfully angry, Yana threw her shoe at her cackling sister, who was by now on the floor, gasping for breath. The shoe hit its target and Yala yelped and "Ow!"

"Thanks for that though, Sis. I have a dead brain right now." Yana stated. Her sister, now calm and collected as she always was, stood behind her smaller flesh and blood. She smiled down as Yana continued to writre down her song lyrics. It was all about the competition now. No more sister talk. Always competition this and competition that. It was driving Yala crazy. Well, it would if she wasn't crazy already.

"I didn't know you had a brain, Yana. I thought you made things up as you went along." Yala joked, seemingly happy to recieve a slight hiccup and a giggle. "See? I made you laugh. At least I got something out of you." Yana couldn't help but smirk at the comment. It was common for Yala to make her laugh. A daily routine and nightly too. "C'mon, it's almost midnight. Get to sleep now, Little One." A quick hug and Yala was out of the room.

"Okay, sis. Oh I forgot to tell you earlier. I made a new friend today. He's called Ryou Baku. He's so sweet and cute and shy and-" Yana was cut off as Yala giggled. "Huh? What?"

"It seems you like this new guy, Yala. Now go to sleep or you'll never wake up on time." Yala smiled and closed the door. Yana sighed and thought about what her older sister had said. Maybe I DO like Ryou. But what about...No! He wouldn't mind...Right? As she thought, her phone rang. Looking at the phone, Yana realised it was only a text from Bakura.
