Chapter 4
Bakura ran out of the Turtle Game Shop and toward his house. The clouds darkened and thunder rumbled in the distance. He would have to hurry other wise he'd be soaked.
He was eight blocks away from his house when the rain started to fall. Within a minute, it was coming down in sheets.
He just about kicked the door open and tripped over the carpet, stumbling but not falling. He said a quick 'hi. I'm not hungry right now' to his mother, who was about to ask him if he was hungry, but didn't get a chance to finish for her son was already up the stairs and the door to his room was already slamming shut.
She scratched her head in confusion. Bakura was usually hungry after playing with friends. Maybe he ate at Yugi's…she shrugged and continued to set out the plates and silverware.

Bakura slammed the door shut behind him and slumped against it, holding his side in pain. He had almost forgotten about his cracked rib.
The Millennium Ring glowed as Yami Bakura took over Bakura's body, throwing the weaker one into his Soul Room and locking the door.
Bakura got up off the floor and banged on the Soul Room's door. "Yami! What are you doing?! Let me out now!" he shouted. After a minute, he gave up and leaned against the door and took in his surroundings. He was sitting in a room much like his own, only it had more Egyptian artifacts littering the shelves.
He sighed. He knew where his other was going, but he couldn't do anything while he was the Soul Room.
---------Out side the Soul Room…
Yami Bakura grabbed the pocketknife from his other's desk and opened the door as he pocketed it. He walked down the stairs, mentally smiling.
"Bakura, dear. Are you going out again?" his other's mother asked, looking up from her meal.
"Yes, mom. I'm going back to Yugi's. He's having a sleep over. I hope you don't mind if I go." he said.
Bakura's mother didn't seem to notice the change in her son's voice. "Sure thing. Make sure you get there before dark. And bring an umbrella! I don't want you catching a cold!"
Yami Bakura nodded and smiled. "Yes, mom." He grabbed the umbrella from the rack and walked out the door, tossing it aside once the door was closed.
"Fools." He muttered, smirking as he headed toward Yugi's.
