Ryou sighed as he felt his yami's arms slip around his waist. After eating Soy's dinner of fresh deer, which had surprisingly been pretty good, Ryou had decided to take another bath. Soy led him to a near by stream, complaining about how she didn't understand how he couldn't have gotten enough of the water before.
Bakura had joined him of course, the two were just glad to be together again.
"I'm glad your ok, aibou." Bakura whispered. Soy had filled him in on everything that had happened while they ate dinner.
Ryou leaned his head back to kiss Bakura, but stopped. He frowned. "I feel like we're being watched."
Bakura turned around, finding Soy sitting on the back, her bright green eyes shining with curiosity.
Bakura growled and reached into the water and picked up a rock, hurling it at the curious girl. "PERVERT!"
* * *
"I wasn't spying on you." Soy growled, back at the campfire. "I was making sure that neither of you were drowning." She humped and turned her back on them. "Sorry for trying to help you."
Ryou sighed. He believed her, but Bakura was pretty upset. Not so much that she had been there, but that she had ruined the time they had together. They hadn't gotten much time alone recently.
Soy sighed. She had a feeling that this Bakura guy was a real over-reactor. She had been going to check on them, and what does she find? Wasn't her fault. All she wanted to do was keep Ryou safe. That was her job after all. She'd promised Keiko that she would take care of him, and she was a girl of her word.
Soy stood up. "We'll leave tomorrow. It's getting too dark now. Get some sleep alright?" she jumped into a nearby tree and disappeared into the dark branches.
Bakura sighed. "Are you sure we can trust her?"
Ryou nodded and sat down on his yami's lap. "Yes. I'm sure. She did save me before you know."
Bakura looked thoughtful. "I guess you're right."
* * *
Ryou yawned as the bright sun light pierced his eyes. It had been a long night, but he had still gotten some sleep. The woods were much too noisy. Too many things happening. Ryou was almost glad he would be back at Keiko's by the next night.
He sat up and tried to pat his wild hair down. He looked around, finding his yami eating, even he didn't need to. Soy was nowhere to be seen.
"Morning yami." Ryou mumbled as he sat down beside him. Bakura nodded a greeting, since his mouth was full of deer meat. "Where's Soy?"
Bakura jerked his head to the side. "In the tree. Fighting with a bird or something." He said, offering Ryou some meat. Ryou took the breakfast and eat nervously. Soy was fighting with someone? What could be happening?
Soy glanced down at Ryou, then moved her eyes back toward her target, a small, trembling bird sitting on the branch in front of her. She wagged her tails happily. "Give me one reason not to eat you." She licked her lips and the bird stepped back fearfully.
"Please Soy. Don't eat me!" the bird stammered. "I'm all bony!"
"Then I'll drink your marrow."
"Please! I'll do anything! I'll tell you where the nearest gateway stone is!"
Soy blinked. "Hey. How did you know about that?"
"I overheard Keiko the other day." The bird stammered. "If I tell you, will you promise not to eat me?"
Soy considered. "Fine."
* * *
Ryou was finishing up his breakfast when Soy jumped down from the tree. She made her way over to Ryou and Bakura, and sat down next to them.
"Are you two up from a little trip?" Soy asked, twitching her tails happily.
Ryou nodded. "But to where?"
Soy smiled. "To a nearby town. About a day or less away from here."
Bakura narrowed his eyes at her. "Why?"
"To get one of the gateway stones." Soy answered.
Ryou blinked. "But I thought you said we weren't going to help us?"
"Yeah well I changed my mind."
Ryou smiled. There was more to the girl than first met the eye. She was a lot deeper than one would first expect. She was even starting to be a little nice.
"We'll have to be careful though. There are a lot of dangerous things in these woods." Soy said, getting to her feet.
* * *
Ryou clutched Soy's shoulders. He had learned his lesson before that he shouldn't pull her hair when he was riding on her back. Bakura had disappeared back into the ring, and soy was taking them to the town where she said the gateway stone was.
"So how many stones are there?" Ryou asked.
Soy jumped into the trees and started to jump from branch to branch. "I believe there are thirteen. But to be honest I'm not completely sure."
"Oh." Ryou relaxed a bit.
Soy jumped back to the ground. "I'll make sure we get them all. No worries."
Ryou lifted his head. "Why are you being so nice?"
Soy didn't answer for a few moments. "What's wrong with that?"
"Nothing." Ryou said. "I'm just saying."
Soy focused on what was in front of her. She didn't feel like talking. Not now at least. Ryou was asking too many questions. And she didn't feel like answering.
She sighed. As long as they didn't run into the body collectors, everything would be ok.
Here you are. Pretty please tell me what you think. I value your opinions a lot. ^.^
Peace, love, and cheese everyone.
