An Angel's Story
Chapter 3
- Bakura -
I lie on my bed with nothing to do and not able to get Hikari out of my mind. I wasn't used to feeling this way, and I didn't like it either. The fact that I couldn't beat up my host around her was edging on my nerves as well. How else was I going to get him to listen?!
"Damn her" I mutter before drifting off for a quick nap. Usually Spirits or Yamis don't sleep or eat for that matter but I have been lacking energy lately and had nothing better to do.
"SHIIITTTTTTT!!" A scream from downstairs woke me up.
'Was that Ryou? He doesn't use that kind of language...Well not usually at least'
I stood, stretched and headed down the stairs and into the kitchen from where I heard the noise.
'Okay...so it was Ryou...he had burned himself on the stove...again' Hikari was trying to help him but they weren't doing very well at making dinner.
I stood with an amused look on my face as I watched them try to make a decent meal.
"Hey, you could help ya know!" Hikari said to me as she ran back to the fridge for the 5th time since I came down.
I stared at her. She expected me to cook?
- Ryou -
I screamed out of pain and frustration as I managed to burn myself in the oven. I heard footsteps as my Yami came down the stairs and into the kitchen. After a few minutes Hikari implied that maybe he could help.
My Yami...cook? Yeah, sure.
"Um...maybe we should go out for dinner, ne?" I suggested. Hikari nodded and we headed to the door, Yami Bakura following for who knows why.
There is silence as we walk along the street. It would be at least a 10-15 minute walk to get to the nearest fast food joint.
- Hikari -
The silence of the walk was killing me but I didn't know what to say to Ryou and it was pretty obvious that Bakura wouldn't probably ever want to talk to me.
'I'm boredddd...' I say in my head. So instead of talking I break out in song, heck it was all I could think of to do.
"Oh, life's gonna suck when you grow up, when you grow up, when you grow up. Life's gonna suck when you grow up It sucks pretty bad right now!" I sing. Bakura stares at me with the weirdest look I've ever seen. I could've almost sworn it was ALMOST an attempt at smiling.
"Uh, lovely song" Ryou said with a laugh. I took a fake bow and laughed with him.
"Trust me, I know worse" I said.
- Bakura -
I had to fight back an urge to laugh as the girl began to sing a ridiculous tune in an off key voice.
"Hey Bakura!" I heard someone call my name and watched as Malik ran over with his sister Isis. Malik introduced Isis to Hikari and then walked with me as we continued towards the food place.
"So how's life?" He asked.
"Hell, like always" I reply simply. "What about you, has your Yami been any better recently?"
"Yeah...he's been okay I guess" We both watch as some kids on bikes almost get hit by cars on the busy street.
"Foolish humans" I laugh.
"Hey, I'm human too you know" Malik said.
"Yeah well you're not half as idiotic as some others I know"
"Are you implying me to be stupid then Bakura?" Isis joined our conversation for a quick second before turning back to talk to Ryou.
"Maybe" I mumble only loud enough for Malik and I to hear. Malik laughs.
'Hm, I'll let Hikari think I've accepted her for now, maybe it'll give me a chance to remind Ryou who's boss...'
- Malik -
I could tell Bakura was thinking of something though I'm not sure what. He was silent for a while before we started conversation again on Yami Yugi and how to get rid of him and get his millennium item. It had been a while since we last tried, maybe he had forgotten. I doubted it.
We all headed into a fast food joint and sat down at a table while Isis and Ryou went to get our orders filled. I saw the girl eying a machine over in the corner. It was a 3-player Para para Paradise machine. I knew what was coming...
"Hey guys, wanna go play?" She asked in a semi-excited voice. I shrug. She was kinda cute now that I had a good look at her but if I started to date her Bakura would skin me alive, at least I think he would...
"Please!!" She asks again.
"Sure...if Bakura will" I say with a grin.
"Great!" Without asking Bakura she drags all three of us to the machine and put some money in. She chooses the song "Velfarre 2000".
"This should be pretty easy for you huh Bakura?" I ask in a mocking voice. "Since you're soooo good at games and all" I laughed, he had never played a game like this before in his life. With my luck he'd probably ace it though. Then again...he was no Yami Yugi...
The music began and I tried to figure out if the look on Bakura's face was confusion, concentration or hate. I hoped it wasn't the latter once, I'd hate to make him mad seeing what he had done to Ryou in the past months.

The music ended and we all headed back to the table where the others were waiting.
- Ryou -
I stared in shock, almost dropping the drinks as I watched my Yami Para Para with Malik and Hikari on the machine.
I wondered if it was possible for someone to change in such a short matter of time. My mind was made up when I got home and Hikari went up to bed. When she left my Yami promptly began to beat me again. I cried out as his hand twisted my arm to an uncomfortable position.
"You have to learn who's in charge Ryou" He said to me in his usual cruel, cold voice. He threw me to the floor and kicked me hard in the ribs and the face. That night I crawled up to my room, bruised and bleeding and fell to my floor.
"He'll never change...I hate him. I wish I had never gotten the millennium ring" I say as I fall into a pain ridded sleep.
Nuriko: Bakura!! That's so mean!
Bakura: Um...sorry.
Ryou: Think how I feel --;
Nuriko: Well next time he tries Ryou, you can blackmail him with this. *hands Ryou a video tape of Bakura dancing and a picture of him while he's sleeping*
Bakura: O_o; *grabs them and destroys them*
Nuriko: I have copies you know.
Malik: *snicker*
Nuriko: But...since I like you so much you just have to say sorry to Bakura and I'll trash these.
Bakura: ...*mumbles something*
Ryou: Can't hear you.
Bakura: I'm sorry...
Ryou, Nuriko and Malik: Still can't hear you!
Bakura: I'M SORRY! *passes out from saying such a phrase* x_x;
Nuriko: Eww...I was gonna say "now that wasn't so hard, was it?" but I guess it was. ^^;; Oh well. *helps Malik drag Bakura off the set. Ryou follows last with a sign saying "No flames, please review!!"*
