Bakura walked slowly behind Soy. After all she had told him, it was hard to go back and face Ryou. It was such a tremendous secret he was keeping. He felt awful about lying. But then, it might hurt him more if he knew.
"Where are we going, Soy?" Ryou asked, speaking up for the first time in a while.
Soy glanced back. "We're heading back to the village."
Ryou heart dropped. They weren't going to be looking for the gateway stones anymore? How was he going to get home? This world was nice, but he missed his friends, and his family.
Bakura smiled and wrapped an arm around Ryou's slender waist. "Don't worry, we'll get home." He said, but his heart wasn't in those words. Something about breaking up a family…even if they didn't know it existed…it didn't sit right with him.
Soy looked up into the trees, she had a bad feeling. Something just wasn't right. She sighed. Maybe she was just upset. When they got back to the village, she could send Ryou home. She had the other stones, thanks to her brother.
There wasn't anything keeping them there anymore. A sinking feeling rose in the pit of her stomach. She was going to lose her brother again.
'I wish I had never known.'
Ryou kept pace with Soy. She didn't want to carry him anymore, and that was ok. Except for the difficulty he had walking in the woods. Getting back to civilization would be very welcome to him.
Without warning, Soy stopped. Causing Ryou, who had been lost in thought, to bump into her.
"Huh? Soy? What's wrong?" he asked. Soy was staring in front of them, her green eyes big. Bakura sensed something was wrong, and moved so Ryou would be behind him.
"Soy?" he asked. Something was definitely not right.
"Father…" Soy whispered. Her eyes narrowed. "Father!"
Ryou was confused. Her father was nearby? The tone of her voice sounded angry, as if it were laced with hate. Her eyes were shining with the kind of rage you just don't see from a loving daughter.
"Soy-chan." A voice said. "How happy I am to see you."
Soy growled and motioned for Bakura and Ryou to stay back. Bakura took the hint and stepped back several feet as a tall man stepped out of the brush. He smiled at Soy, who just growled back.
"Daughter. I am…happy…to see you are alive." He said, in a deadpan voice.
Soy growled. "Like hell you are! What do you want!?"
Ryou gasped. That was her father? He could see the resemblance, but she seemed to hate him so much. How could some one hate her own father like that? His eyes drooped in sadness. No wonder Soy seemed so alone. She didn't even have a family.
"I heard that someone took the stones from your brothers tomb." Her father said, circling around her. "You it have been you?"
Soy growled, placing a hand on her katana. "It's none of your business!"
"Hm." His eyes scanned Soy, before moving to Ryou and Bakura. "So these must be your pets." He said with a slight chuckle.
Bakura narrowed his eyes. "Watch who your calling a pet."
Soy's father ignored him. "I heard you had been running around with a couple of human dogs. They must be them." He said, narrowing his eyes at them.
Ryou shrunk back, his gaze was so cold. It felt like his entire soul had been frozen.
"So you took the stones to send your pets home." He said, walking away from Soy. "What a pity. The small one looks almost like your brother."
With a low growl of fury at his words, Soy drew her katana. She rushed at her father, trying to stab the cold metal through him. But the older man was too quick, he managed to grab the blade, and hold it just inches from his stomach.
Soy twitched as she struggled to over power him. He would pay for what he said about Ryou and Bakura. Her father smiled and leaned closer.
"Maybe that is your brother, reborn." He smirked. "If so, I will have the pleasure of killing him once again."
"Don't you touch them!" she yelled, furious. She let go of her katana with one hand, to get a hold of her scythe blade. With a quick movement, that was much to her father's surprise, she slashed him. Opening a large wound on his stomach.
He stepped back, growling and clutching his wound. "You bitch!"
Soy turned to Ryou and Bakura, her eyes full of panic. "You guys! Get out of here!"
As the two boys ran, her father took advantage of her distraction, plunging a long blade into her back.

Ryou gasped for air as he tore through the woods, trying to get away. He couldn't believe he was leaving Soy in another life or death situation. It was just like before, only this time, she might not some back.
They had run back the way they came, so Ryou knew they would reach the Ferris wheel soon. He only hoped he would make it that far. He had no way of knowing whether they were being chased. Everything was a mess of noise and confusion.
Bakura looked back, making sure Ryou was still behind him. He couldn't let him fall behind. It was too dangerous.
He slowed down as he thought about Soy. They had left her once again. And who knew what was going to happen. His eyes got wide when he thought about what would happen if she died. That couldn't happen.
"Ryou! Head for the Ferris wheel! I have to help Soy!" he yelled, running back before the other boy had a chance to respond.
This chapter wasn't so great. -_-; And Soy's having her second brush with death. I wanted to get a new one out though. Please review guys. ^-^
