Rrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnggggggg~
The bell signaled that it was time for lunch. Everyone gathered their belongings to be dismissed from their classroom. After they were dismissed from the classroom in a single file line, Ryou quickly went to his locker to get the materials and books he will need for his next class.
He put his book-bag on the floor as he attempted to open his locker. The stubborn lock wouldn't yield to his command, so the frustrated Ryou had to try over and over again to get his locker open. As he finally got it open, a swift figure walked over to him and grabbed his book-bag off the floor.
When he looked up to see whom it was, it was the guy who saved him from falling in his English class. With a small smile, Katsuya returned the bag and said, "Hey, your name's Ryou, right? Well, let me give you your first lesson to learn in this school. Don't leave your things around for the charity."
Startled, Ryou blinked and said, "Thank you. Your name is."
Ryou was cut off as the other stuck out his hand and said, "Katsuya. Katsuya, Jounouchi. You can call me Joey, though. Hurry up so we can go eat lunch. You can meet the rest of the group there."
"O-OK," Ryou said as he hurried to get all the materials that he needed for the afternoon.
At the cafeteria, Joey led Ryou to a table that he and his friends were sitting at. Ryou reluctantly followed Joey all the way, thinking that he'd rather sit alone than be with all those people. All of Joey's friends looked up at the newcomer, as Joey introduced him.
"Hey guys, this is Ryou. He's new to our school, so I thought we can show him around the school after lunch a little bit."
A small, tri-colored hair kid stood up to greet Ryou. "Hi, Ryou. My name is Yugi Mutou," he said as he shook Ryou's hand.
"Hi." Ryou said shyly. Suddenly, Ryou remembered what his father said. He was staying at Yugi's house! "Umm.Yugi.I think I'll be staying at your house for a while.soon."
"Oh yeah!! So you're Ryou Bakura! That'll be nice. We could get to know each other better!" exclaimed Yugi, already fond of his new friend.
Soon, Ryou was introduced to the whole gang, Tea, Tristan, Yugi, Joey, and Seto. Seto seemed a bit cold at the introduction, but Ryou didn't mind.
~ After School ~
Ryou waved farewell to his friends as he walked home. His father wasn't home, yet, so he took out his key, unlocked the door, and went inside. He smiled to himself as he reviewed the school day. It wasn't anything like what he thought it would be. Sure, there were some people that were unfriendly, but as long as he had his new friends, he was satisfied.
All of a sudden, the ring glowed and Yami Bakura came out. Without warning, Yami Bakura grabbed Ryou by his shirt collar and threw him on the ground.
"Friends? You think they actually want you as friends? Friends.what a pathetic fool you are," he sneered.
Wincing from the sudden pain, Ryou got up and looked at Bakura directly into his eyes, quivering with fear. "I don't even know who you are.why do you keep hurting me?"
"Why do I keep hurting you? Are you sure you don't know? I've been inside of your mind ever since you got the Ring. I don't know why such a weakling like you was destined to have it, but I will make sure your life will be living hell. You will do as I command you."
"No! As I have told you before, I'm not going to be your slave! If you were with me ever since I have had this ring, then why didn't you do this before?" With that, Ryou was met with a harsh slap from Bakura.
"Don't you dare talk to me like that! You want to know why I have waited countless years until now? I have restrained every muscle of my body just to torture you and kill you, but you were too young back then. I don't want my slave to die so easily," he said as he smirked.
"And don't even think about going to your little friend Yugi's house. I won't let you. If you even try to disobey my command, your friends will get hurt, and most importantly, your father will get hurt. I don't think you would want that, would you?" he said and then disappeared.
With tears stinging his face, Ryou tried to nurse his cheek. The other looked like him, so exact, but he was so different from him. He was cold. It was quite blatant that he had never felt anything for such a long time. All he could see was hatred, angst, and misery from a long time ago.
What do I do now, since he won't let me go to Yugi's? I can't risk them getting hurt, nor my father. But I can't live alone for months. What should I do?
