this after a while so please have a little patience. I would
really like to thank my good friend ryoubakura for most of these
ideas. i dont know what i would without him.
Ryou sat bolt upright in bed, drenched in cold sweat. Scanning the shadows suspcious, before slowly relaxing, realizing that it had indeed been just a dream. He has been dreaming these kind of dreams about Bakura for the past week and it was starting to get the better of him. Everytime he brushed past Bakura he would feel the heat rise to his cheaks.
Outside it was storming. "Some night this is turning out to be." Ryou whispered. He shook his head and ran his fingers through his hair. "Well I'm awake now. I might as well find something to do" He walked over to turn on the lamp but it didn't come on. "Power is out too. Just great."
He paced back and forth restlessly as he waiting for the power to come back on. It seemed like this storm was lasting forever! Ryou walked over and sat down on the edge of his bed, wondering if the storm was ever going to end. The thunder rumbled incessantly and it made everything in the house shake. Ryou jumped back, and threw the covers over his head as a particularly large flash of lightning illuminated the room, casting ominous dark shadows in the farthest of corners.
"Ryouuuu...", a voice, soft and elusive as smoke, drifted down the abandoned hallway, almost sounding as if it came from the wind itself. "Ryouuuuu...help...me..." Ryou pulled the covers up a little further and tried to ignore it. He trembled as the voice sounded stronger, like it was coming closer. "Ryouuuuuu.. help me!"
Then three slow, hard knocks resonated through the house, shattering the utter silence of the house. Ryou stared apprehensively in the direction of the door.
He heard the handle rattle faintly and then the squeak from the hinge he kept meaning to oil, as the door opened slowly, then abruptly slammed shut. He heard light footsteps getting closer and closer to his bedroom door. Ryou desperately tried to force his body to respond to his brains orders to jump up and lock the door, but was frozen, completely and utterly unable to do anything but wait in morbid fascination for whoever was in the house to open the door to his room. "Ryou..." The voice was defiantly closer now!
Ryou found himself trying to remember childhood prayers long since forgotten as the thunder intensified so much that he didn't know where one rumble began and another ended. The wind's howl was now muffled, and the lightning flashed brighter. Ryou stared at his door like a deer caught in the headlights, and watched the handle turn slowly. The door to his bedroom started to open and a flash of lightning again threw the room into startling view. Ryou's eyes adjusted just enough from the sudden light, that he could see the shadow of a person. He sat up with a startled screech.
"Ryou! Whoa calm down!" an immediately recognizable voice said.
Ryou turned and grabbed a flashlight and shone in in the direction of the doorway. There stood Yugi and his Yami, both soaking wet from the storm, dripping water onto the floor, tri-colored hair plastered to their faces.
"Wha-what a-are y-you d-doing here?" Ryou stuttered, shaking from the sudden adrenalin rush.
The wind slammed the window shutters upstairs closed. Ryou jumped up from the bed, and hid behind Yami. Yami looked back over his shoulder at him with amusement.
"Geez Ryou, are you alright? You look like you have just seen a ghost!" Yugi teased. "Anyway, i was driving to the 24 Hour Store for a late snack when my car got stuck. I came over to see if you could help us push it out of the mud."
