A week passed. It was the night of Ryo's birthday. The hikari and Bakura were headed to the game shop just as planned.
Ryo rang the doorbell. The door opened revealing Yami. Ryo smiled as Bakura's eyes darkened.
Yami ignored Bakura's death glares and grinned at the hikari "happy birthday Ry". Yami embraced the hikari in a hug. Bakura growled before leaving the area. That was when Yami noticed something different about the thief. He couldn't put his finger on it but something strange was going on. He shrugged it off 'when is something not right about the tomb robber'.
Yami released Ryo "so Ryo. How's life with the thief?"
Ryo sighed "its okay. Lately I've been worried. I can sense through the mind link something different about him but I can't tell what".
Yami raised an eyebrow "try asking him what's wrong. Not that I'd expect the cold hearted bastard to open up but it's worth a shot."
Ryo smiled slightly "I guess your right. So where are Yugi and the gang?"
"Right behind ya" a voice said
Ryo turned to see Yugi, Joey, Tea, and Tristan "oh hey guys. When did you pop up?"
Joey grinned sheepishly "well we just got here. We where down at the mall when we remembered it was almost time for the birthday party. So we spent some extra time down there to get you some gifts".
Yugi and the others put what they had in their hands on the kitchen counter.
"We'll open up the gifts later. Right now why don't we eat order some pizza?" Yugi said with phone in hand.
The others nodded with a look of hunger on their faces.

"Fuck! Where's Bakura? The only reason I came was because he was going to be here" Marik said flipping through channels. They had settled themselves down in Yugi's bedroom where Yugi said they do whatever as long as it didn't involve mayhem or he would call Ishizu. Marik and Malik definitely didn't want to feel her wrath. Especially since if she was interrupted from work.
"I'm sure he'll be here in a few. Don't get your panties all up in a bunch" Malik snickered.
Marik growled "you want a matching black eye".
Malik became silent.
"Hey Ishtar's. What the fuck are you doing in the shrimp's room" Bakura appeared in the doorway.
Marik shrugged "I'd rather be in here watching TV then with the cheerleaders".
Bakura nodded "true. Well I got you guys some cake and pizza".
"Thanks" both blonds said as they took the food.
"So does the bitch of have any good video games" Bakura asked as he took the last bite of cake.
Malik started to rummage through the stack and his eyes brightened as he turned to the two yami's "he's got Stay Alive. Damn and I thought he's only be into baby games".
"Start it up" both yami's said in unison.
Malik did as told before handing controllers to Marik and Bakura and himself.
"Hey guys its time for presents" Yugi stopped in front of the TV before turning off the gaming system.
"Hey we were playing that" the three said.
Yugi rolled his eyes "I'll let you guys have the game okay. I've beaten it already".
Yugi handed the game to Bakura "here since it's in a way your birthday too".
Bakura said quiet thanks before getting up. Marik and Malik did the same before following the white haired yami.

Bakura stood in the background as the others surrounded Ryo to see what he had gotten. Even the two Ishtar's had gone up to see what all the commotion was about.
"See ya Ryo. Hope you have fun with your new ps3 and video games" the gang said waving to the hikari.
Ryo waved back before turning to the Ishtar's "thanks guys for the uncut Manhunt 2".
Marik grinned "no problem Ryo. You should have some fun with Bakura playing that game. As he's into blood and gore".
Ryo laughed "yes I know".
"Come on Marik. It's starting to rain. We better get our asses home" Malik said.
"Alright. See ya guys later" Marik strode out the door along with Malik.
Bakura watched as his friends left. It was pretty much silent in the Mouto home. The only sound was the rain pouring on the outside world. ' just like that night' he thought. Suddenly he felt a twinge of pain in his belly. Wincing as it continued but didn't stop. The pain only got worse. 'What the hell is wrong?!'
