"Now, students we will be learning how certin materials look under a microscope, please pick up your slides and be careful, they are made of glass as you may, or may not know." the teacher said giving a few trouble students the ever-knowing stare.
Ryou sighed. The teacher had a paticularly monotone voice today. Things weren't going as well as they could be, he had been late and recieved a detention. He'd always been on time to class...today, simply, was a bad day.
Yugi patted his back, obviously he was able to tell Ryou was in a downtrodden mood. "Its ok Ryou, everyone gets a detention sooner or later...I'll stay with you ok?"
Ryou shook his head. "Thats quite alright...you dont have to, I'll be fine" "Its not a big deal Ryou, I'll stay." Yugi said getting up to get their slides.
"Yer losin' me Honda" Jono mumbled looking into the microscope. "I just dont see the interest here..." Honda shook his head and slapped the back of Jono's. "C'mon, just PRETEND its even remotely interesting! we cant possibly get a passing grade if we both dont do a LITTLE work." Jono sighed. "Even if I had a great imagination, no one's imagination is THAT great"
While Jono and Honda struggled to do their assignment, Yugi and Ryou were also having a paticularly hard time paying attention to the utterly boring single celled organisms that, even with a microscope, were hard to see.
"Why weren't you wearing your sweater today Ryou?" Ryou scribbled a few notes on a sheet of paper. "Oh...its nothing they were just all dirty. I'm doing laundry tonight when I get home." Yugi shook his head. "Maybe you should buy a coat." Ryou nodded. "Perhaps your right...I was caught off guard, I thought Japan would be warmer." Yugi gave one of his famous 'it happens to everyone, I know how you feel' grins. "I know what you mean, no one really expects some of the winters we get here."
Ryou sneezed slightly before grabbing a tissue. "I think I might have caught a cold..." he glowered, sighing to himself, knowing that it was Yami's fault. //having fun you little weakling? Poor poor Ryou, sick with the cold.// Ryou sighed. Yugi could tell he was conversing with his Yami, he got the same partially glazed over look when he did.
//Yugi, I dont think he came to school dressed like that because his sweaters were dirty.// the pharaoh spirit pointed out.
/I know...but what can we do?/ Yugi shook his head a bit.
//The only thing we can do...until Ryou decides that Bakura has pushed him too far.//
Yugi blinked a few times. /How far is too far for Ryou?/
The pharaoh shook his head. //I just dont know...//
The detention was slow, the clock, even slower. The evil laughter from Bakura wasn't helping Ryou's mood. Finally after an hour, he was allowed to leave. Ryou didn't head straight home, he walked with Yugi to the shopping center to pick up a coat, before they went their seperate ways.
Ryou walked with a bit more spring to his step now that he had a coat, it was an average looking tan coat, that was just the right length to keep him warm. As he trudged along, his next stop was the market, if it was even open.
Thick snowflakes gathered in Ryou's hair, they didn't stand out like they did in other's hair, but they gave his silky white hair a silver gleam under the streetlights. He stopped under a paticularly bright one and pulled a small folded list of things to buy from his pocket. Since his dad had left on another trip to wherever, Ryou was once more left alone. He didn't even KNOW where his mother was. He sighed and leaned against the light post.
His yami often called him weak and pathetic. Very often. But he wasn't, perhaps his yami couldn't see it...the strength of heart he had. Growing up with only small visits from his father, not even hardly remembering his mother, He may be weak physically...but his spirit was one that even his yami could never break.
"But...at this rate....I might just give up..." He mumbled to no one inpaticular. "I just dont understand why he holds so much hate for me..." Ryou mumbled lightly shaking his head. 'I know he has a compassionate side...maybe just not for me...' He thought to himself, pushing away from the light post.
As Ryou slowly walked away, he had neglected to notice the familiar figure standing in the shadows of the two buildings just feet from where he had been.
"In a perfect world, everyone would get along and everything and go your way....wouldn't it Ryou? I promise I'll take you there soon." He mumbled stepping farther into the shadows and disappearing into the darkness.
AN: ooooh suspence! who could that person be?! ^_^ ah ah sorry cant tell. ^_~ you'll love it I promise!
