Ahhhh. It's been simply forever since I've written...or well, it seems like it. BS, and drama make an awful combo. But, I don't think I'mma give up on this. I like it. :] Although, it may be ending soon. I've lost a lot of enthusiasm for this. So if it seems crappy.....sorry.

Ryou woke up with a start, when his alarm began to beep at him. Looking over, he saw the time, and groaned. He rather liked being lazy, and didn't like getting up so early. But he knew he needed to, so that he could get ready for school. Sighing, he smacked at his alarm until it was off, threw the covers off his body, and sat up to face the cold morning. Bakura was still snoring away, so Ryou didn't bother waking him. He walked out of his room, still in his night clothes, and saw his father sleeping on the couch. He shook his head, and smiled, before pulling the blanket from the back of the couch over his father.

Making his way into the kitchen, Ryou began to make coffee for himself, and grabbed himself a poptart to eat. He stood silent in the kitchen, until the coffee was done, and he poured himself some, before placing the pot back into the machiene. He finished his small breakfast slowly, not feeling the need to rush. When he was finished, he placed his mug silently in the sink, and made his way into the bathroom. He turned the shower on, letting it warm up as he undressed himself.

The warm water ran over his body as he stepped into the shower, and he washed himself at a slow pace. He knew that since it was Friday, Malik would be a little late, as he always was. Isis normally had to threaten him to even get him out of his bed. In less then ten minutes, he was done and out of the shower. Drying himself off as he walked to his room, Ryou thought today might be a good day, and resolved to not let anything ruin it. Stepping into his room, he quickly pulled his clothes on, not liking being bare for too long a time.

After making his bed, Ryou went back to the kitchen where his bookbag sat. He pulled out his folder and began to finish homework he hadn't completed last night. Bakura and his father were still sleeping, which surprised Ryou. He'd been walking around for more then an hour, and neither of them had seemed to move an inch. But he forgot about it as he worked on his History homework. Soon enough, he was finished, and just in time, as he heard Malik's bike pull up outside. He rushed to put his stuff away, pull his shoes on, and grab his jacket before walking out the door.

He sat behind Malik in silence as they made their way through early morning traffic. They pulled up to the school with little time to spare, and both Malik and Ryou broke into a run to make it to their first period classes on time. They both had the same class for first period, and they barely made it in the door before the bell rang, signaling the start of school. They grinned at the glaring teacher, and sat down, ready for the day to start.

The day passed without problems for Ryou. Bakura was being quite, and although Ryou was suspicious of that, he didn't say anything. He knew better then to bug his lover when he was brooding. Soon enough, school was over and everyone was racing to the doors. Ryou giggled at the antics of his classmates as he and Malik walked at a leisurly pace to the doors. They made it to Malik's bike without any problems, and Malik set off to take Ryou home. There was more traffic then there had been in the morning, but Ryou wasn't in a rush to get home. After half an hour, Malik pulled up to the Bakura residence, and Ryou climbed off the bike.

"I'll see you on Monday Ry. Have a good weekend!" And with those words, Malik was gone. Ryou smiled and walked into the house. After taking his shoes off, and placing his bookbag on the floor, he walked into the living room. His father looked up when he came in. He had a frown on his face, and anger glittered in his eyes. Ryou's smile fell of his face when his father stood.

"I have something to talk to you about boy" Yaten's tone was furious as he spoke. Ryou felt like a small child being reprimanded for doing something wrong. "When I came home last night, and turned this television on, do you want to know what I saw?! DO YOU?!" Ryou felt the blood drain from his face. He and Bakura had forgotten to change the channel after their movie last night.

"What dad...?" Ryou asked his father, meekly.

"A goddamned fucking GAY channel! I TOLD YOU! I told you if you hung out with those sinners, you'd pick up their habits! How dare you watch that filth in my house!" Yaten advanced on Ryou, his face contorted with rage.

"Dad...I'm sorry! I can't help who I love!" Ryou knew as soon as the words left his mouth, they were a mistake. His father couldn't control his rage, and he slapped Ryou. Feeling blood in his mouth, Ryou knew he had bitten down something. Bakura appeared in a flash of light, leaving the ring to face Yaten.

"How dare you hit your son!" Ryou moved himself behind Bakura as the yami stared at his father,

"I bet you're both dirty, vile sinners!I did not raise my son this way!" Yaten looked ready to attack Bakura. "Ryou's motherwas one of those people! She was preparing to leave us when her and Amane were hit by a car. I wouldn't let her take Ryou. I was going to raise him right! But I apparently didn't do a good enough job." Yaten stared at his son in disgust. "Get out. Find somewhere else to live. If someone cares enough to let you stay with them, I'll give you a day to take your things." Ryou stared in shock when his father turned and walked away. He was speechless.

Bakura turned and looked at his hikari. He hugged him tightly before gently pulling him to the door. Ryou couldn't think of anything besides the fact that his father hated him. The man who had helped birth him, who had raised him, hated him. He didn't realize where they were going until he heard Bakura knock on a door. And when Marik opened the door, looking confused as to why they were there. so soon after leaving his own hikari, Ryou burst into tears, saying only one thing.

"My dad kicked me out"


I felt bad doing that to Ryou, but I thought it made it interesting :3 I hope you'll all forgive me for being so mean.
