(Ryou to Bakura)

Chapter 11:

Reunion III:

After stopping to get a bite to eat, both Ryou's yami and daughter had finally arrive at home. Since it was Friday night, the teen was happy and made note to call Bree and Makala to tell them about what happened.

Then a thought hit her, "Bakura" she began while thief had settle himself onto the recliner and starred at the girl with an eyebrow raise.

"What" he asked? Kaley went to sit on the couch that was across from the recliner, "I was just thinking, if your back does that mean the Pharaoh and uncle Malik's yami are back as well?"

The thief began thinking and sighs; "I wouldn't be surprise, since we are all connected due to the millennium items" he shared. The teen nodded, "yea I guess that makes sense" with that she stood up and went into the kitchen.

Asking Bakura if he wanted anything to drink but he declined. Leaving the tomb robber to his thoughts, the teen went into the kitchen.

If the pharaoh and that nut case are back then something definitely is up, I just hope to Ra that Ryou and his kids aren't involved. Speaking of Ryou, I wonder if he had gotten stronger since the last I saw him, according to the kid he did.

It is amazing how things change when you're gone for so long. Ggreat now that I am back, I guess that means that the two teens are my responsibility as well as Ryou.

Bakura growled at that thought and sighs, who the hell am I kidding, he thought and turn when his hostess had re-entered the family room. He smiled; I can't wait to meet the other kid he thought as he remembered Kaley talking about her brother Lyon.

The two were silent, Kaley kept taking glances at the thief, sitting across from her, wow, it is so freaky how much alike he and dad look, I wonder how dad will take it or better yet Lyon.

The two jumped when they heard a knock on the door, curious the girl stood up and went towards the door. She turn to look at the clock, it was 8:00 in the evening, sighing the teen began to open the door.

When she did, Kaley smiled at Lyon who gave his sister an annoyed look. "Going to stand there all night or let me in" he asked? His sister smirked, "sure but before you enter there is someone I think you ought to meet" she suggested.

Her twin gave her a frown, "it better not be another boyfriend, since we all know your taste in those" he stated. Kaley glared at him.

After hanging his jacket up on the coat rack, he turns his attention to his sister who was sitting on the couch with a grin on her face, while her reddish brown eyes glistened.

His attention went from his sister to the guy who was sitting on the recliner, with an amused grin on his pale face. What tripped Lyon the most was the similarities between this guy and his father.

Except the stranger's white hair more spikier and wild like unlike his father's, and his eyes were reddish brown, like his sister's and were slanted.

Bakura was studying the boy standing in front of him, so this is the other twin he thought as he began to examine the other teen. The boy had short black hair with crimson eyes and he wore the Domino High's blue school uniform. A uniform his hikari once wore back in the day.

The boy began, "Uh hi I am Lyon, and you are" he asked? The thief gave him a fake, hurt look, "I was hoping your father had told you about me" stated Bakura. Then it hit the boy, "your Bakura, the King of Thieves aren't you; my dad's yami?"

Bakura stood and bowed, "at your service," he joked while looking at the stunned boy. Lyon turns his attention back to his sister, "I thought he was sealed along with the others" he asked her in confusion.

Kaley gave her brother a small smile, "yea well it is a mystery that we haven't quite solved yet; so to change the topic I thought you were staying at Shin's tonight?" Lyon smiled, "I am, I just had to get something that is all."

The boy ran up the stairs to grab what he needed and ran back down.

Before running out the door, since Shin and his mother were waiting for him he turn his attention back to the thief and smiled, "I guess welcome back seems appropriate huh" the thief nodded. Waving one last time, the boy opens the door and ran out, shutting the door behind him.

Bakura turn his attention back to the girl, "when do you expect your father to return" he asked?

Kaley shrugged her shoulders and gave him a sad smile, causing the thief to frown, "he usually works late, when Lyon and I were younger, we had to stay with the Ishtar's."

It seems like the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree he thought as he remembers how Ryou was always alone due to his father being absent.

"Like father, like son" he stated causing Kaley to look up at him. "You mean when Grandpa was always away on his digs leaving my father alone; yea I only saw him twice when I was two and five."

"It is scary, you know" she continued. She took in Bakura's confuse look, "well when my dad was young my grandma and aunt were killed in an accident causing my grandpa to be away; and now when Lyon and I were five, we lost our mother to an unknown illness and dad was always away."

"It is like a never ending cycle, it makes me wonder if these events will repeat once again when Lyon and I are adults."

The thief walked up to the girl while taking a seat beside her, "a cycle can always be broken, if you try hard enough that is." Kaley nodded, "yea I guess your right." Bakura nodded and silence once again surrounded the two.

The two turn their attention towards the door as it open; smiling Kaley stood up and walks towards her father. After hanging his jacket up and setting his brief case beside the coat rack, Ryou turn towards his daughter and smiled.

"Welcome home dad" the teen stated while giving her father a hug.

The light return it, "sorry for coming home late, Kay, things got crazy at work." Kaley broke the hug and looked up at her father's face and nodded, "its okay, I understand" she reassured him.

Ryou patted her head and smiled, always understanding, sounds like someone I use to know he thought sadly. ((at least you return home to your kids every night)) stated a voice in his head. Ryou's eyes widen at the voice, it can't be he thought.

(Where are you?) he asked with hope in his chest.

Kaley gave her father a weird look and looked over Ryou's shoulder to a smirking Bakura . ((Look behind you)) stated the voice and Ryou slowly did what he was told.

When he was all the way around his eyes widen at the person standing right in front of him, "hello hikari." Walking away from his smiling daughter, Ryou began to study Bakura, "your back… but how…and you have your own body now."

The thief sighs, "I wish I knew but I don't, and I have this feeling both the Pharaoh and the Psycho are back as well."

Ryou nodded at that, "of course, I would be surprise if they weren't; I wonder how Malik is taking to having his dark side back" the light asked.

Bakura shrugged his shoulders, "it is not Malik I am worried about, it's that sister of his; you never know how she will take to the psycho's return."

"That bastard better get what he deserves," he retorted angrily. Ryou couldn't help but frowned at his yami's use of language but let it go. "Well, if it means anything I am glade you are doing well, Bakura."

The thief nodded, "you look well yourself, not so young anymore are we?" The light gave him a small smile, "I take you already met my daughter and son" he asked?

Bakura nodded, "yes, unfortunately, I have." Kaley looked put off, "sounds like you regret meeting both me and Lyon" she told him.

The King of Thieves smirked at her, "I don't regret meeting you or your brother it's just that I can't get over how alike you both look in regards to me, Ryou, and your mother, that's all."

Ryou smiled at him, "yes I have to agree, besides if she gets anything from you Yami it would be your mischievous side." The thief raised an eyebrow at that, "care to elaborate hikari?" The whitenette smiled, "Kaley, like you, gets into trouble," he stated in a matter of fact tone.
