Ryou poked his head into the attic and looked around. "Oh my...what a
mess...I haven't been up here in ages!" He said climbing all the way up
into the dusty room. Bakura peeked in as well. "What are you doing?" He
said eyeing all the stuff. "Cleaning yami, it's dirty." Ryou said
inspecting the dust. "And from the look of it, I'll be up here all day."
Ryou stretched to reach a particularly high box off of a shelf. "Father
shouldn't have had these piled so high!" He grunted getting up onto his
tiptoes to brush the side of the box.
Bakura jumped when he heard a loud THUNK from the attic. "Oh no..." He ran over to the ladder. "Ryou?! You ok up there?" He shouted up before climbing up himself. Ryou was lying on the floor out cold, a box next to him suggested he had hit his head. Bakura stared for a moment. "What kind of nut keeps wrought iron bedposts in a box?!" Bakura picked Ryou up and carried him back downstairs, before calling the paramedics.
Ryou groaned. "Where am I?" He said shaking his head and suddenly falling from a tree. "Wha?" He mumbled sitting up. "Ryou! Pay attention! How can I possibly teach you manners if you do not pay attention." Ryou blinked and nodded silently. 'Who is that? I don't even know her...' he thought as she read from a rather boring book that Ryou already knew by heart. "Its that simple." She said folding the book up and dusting her skirt, which Ryou noticed, was an old English style dress. "Where are we?" He said blinking. "Great Britain, don't be silly. I'm here to teach you." Ryou blinked. "Britain? I haven't been here since I was young...," Ryou said giving her a confused look. "Oh Ryou...perhaps I've tutored you too much. You've been here since you were a child." Ryou blinked again. "Come now...your clothes are dirty from your fall, we can take a break from tutoring to get you cleaned up." Ryou looked down at his clothes. He was wearing old style dress pants and a button up dress shirt.
"I don't remember ever owning any of this stuff...," He said looking at his loafers (I loooove loafer shoes! *dance dance*) "Don't be silly, your mother and father bought it for you!" The tutor was beginning to get annoyed. "Dont narry about, we'll come back outside once you're cleaned up."
Ryou looked at his blue dress pants and his white dress shirt. The tutor had insisted he take a bath and re-dress in more appropriate clothing for out-of-doors. "Do hurry up Ryou, we don't have all day." She said giving him a light push outside. "Yes, yes I'm coming..." Ryou blinked and followed her back to the tree. 'I don't really understand what's going on...but I may as well go along with it...,' Ryou thought before spotting something rather unusual.
"Ohhh my goodness, my gracious! His highness will be angry with me! I'm so late!" Ryou blinked and looked up at a sandy haired teen wearing a red jacket, a headband with bunny ears and looking at a pocket watch. Ryou blinked and snuck away from the boring review of a book he'd already memorized. "Excuse me? Late for what?" The teen looked suspiciously like Jono. "I have no time to say hello goodbye! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!" He said darting into the woods and into a rather small cave. Ryou blinked. He vaguely remembered such a strange rhyme...
Ryou looked at the cave. "I know I probably shouldn't...," he said stepping in and slipping down into a dark pit. He blinked as he fell the darkness faded into a warm red interior, clocks and other such furniture hung suspended in the air. "Oh my..." Ryou mumbled looking at the clock and then to his watch. "My watch is off...," He said adjusting it and looking back at the suspended furniture. He blinked. "It's rather strange..." He said snatching up a teapot and cup. "I wonder how they float like that? He said going to pour a cup of tea, and noticing the lack of liquid in the teapot. "Oh fiddlesticks..." He said dropping them, and then watching them float back up.
Ryou yawned as he fell. It had been quite a long time since he had began his fall. "Goodness...does this fall go on forever? I'm beginning to wonder if I've fallen so far, that I may be falling to the center of the Earth!" He exclaimed and leaned back to a reclining position in the air. "I wonder if my yami is worried..." He commented before yawning again. "I wonder what he will eat for supper...I know he can't cook...perhaps he can order out...I hope he doesn't charge up too large a sum...I don't have much money...," Ryou sighed. He normally had a large amount of patience and loved silence...but at the moment he really desired to converse with someone to make sure his yami was ok. "Perhaps I'm dreaming...yes, that must be it...," He said before he hit his head on a nearby cabinet. "OW!" He yelped sitting up and rubbing his head. "Perhaps not...," he mumbled still rubbing the sore area of his head.
Ryou grumbled and considered yelling upwards or downwards of the tunnel for help. "This is getting rather boring..." He mumbled before he thumped onto the ground. He got up and rubbed his backside. "Well...at least THATS over with. I should never be embarrassed about falling down the stairs again. Nothing shall ever match THAT fall...heaven forbid yami ever hear of it, he'd laugh himself sick."
Ryou looked up to the corridor before him. The walls were warped and the floor slightly tilted. It was almost like a fun-house room. "Goodness...someone must have done a horrible job building this place..." Ryou commented walking along the corridor before entering the only room. Ryou blinked. The room looked as though it were built to be lived in at any angle. Tables hung from the ceiling; a fireplace burnt warmly from the right wall and a sofa graced the wall behind him. Water faucets hung from the ceiling and water trickled from them to the far-left wall's drain. Ryou stared. "That's...simply amazing!" He said watching it. "Can't you keep it down?"
Ryou blinked and looked down. A doorknob looked up at him. "Did you say that?" Ryou said kneeling down to face it eye to eye. "Yes I did! I've been trying to get a nap for ages!" Ryou frowned. "You don't suppose I could go through your door could I?" The doorknob let out a few chuckles. "'Fraid not, you're much too big." Ryou frowned. "Did a blonde haired man with bunny ears and a pocket watch pass through it?" He asked. "Why yes he did." Ryou frowned. "Then why cant I?" The doorknob huffed. "I just told you! You're too big! Why don't you do what the bottle says?" Ryou looked behind him, there stood a glass table and chair. On the table sat two bottles. 'Drink Me.' they both read. Ryou picked up the one on the left and sniffed it lightly.
"Oh! Chocolate!" He said gulping some down. Ryou winced when something hit his head. He made a face. He had grown quite large and hit his head on the faucet that hung there. Water began running down his body and flooding the room slightly. The door grumbled. "The other bottle you dolt!" Ryou blinked. "Well pardon me, you're the one who said to do what the bottle said, you didn't specify which!" Ryou said picking up the other bottle and gulping it down. He yelped when he shrank so fast he became stuck in the empty bottle. Somehow, he had floated out of the small room and into a vast ocean.
Ryou looked up and noticed a small bonfire. Things in this place seemed so familiar...and yet so strange. "Pardon me! Could you help me?" He shouted as the bottle crashed ashore and he crawled out. "G'day are you here to dry off as well?" Ryou blinked. "I suppose I could use a good drying off...," He said making a face and moving his dripping bangs. "Good! Come run with us!" A few animals were running around a particularly large stone, on which sat a teen in a sailor suit who very much resembled Haga, warming himself by a fire. Ryou blinked. "No...I don't think I should." He said watching a wave roll in and soak all the animals, who just continued running and Haga chuckle and continue to warm himself.
Ryou wandered into the forest after that. "Ryou! Ryou!" Ryou blinked. "Yes?" He said looking around before spotting Jono. "Ryou! Honestly child! I can't seem to leave you alone for five moments before you wander off!" He scolded. "E-excuse me?" Jono shoved him into the small hut ahead of them. "Just get my gloves, boy!" Ryou blinked. "Fine fine!" He grumbled.
Ryou wandered in the house that seemed to be a mix between Yugi's game shop and his home. "Now...where would I be if I were a pair of gloves?" Ryou mumbled looking in a few drawers. "Oh! Here you are!" Ryou said cheerfully pulling a fine pair of silken gloves from the drawer. "Ryou! Hurry up! I'm late I'm LATE!" The Jono look-a-like screeched. "Yes yes I have them!" Ryou said turning and tripping over a chair and falling over. "Ow!" Ryou sat up and rubbed his leg. "Ryou! Honestly boy, cant you do anything right?!" Jono mumbled storming in, snatching the gloves and running out. Ryou stared after him. "Oh for Pete's sake! I forgot to ask what he was late for...," Ryou said leaving the house. "Ow...my poor leg...," He said hoping he didn't get a bruise.
Bakura frowned and shook his head. "Listen Bakura, worrying yourself sick wont help Ryou at all." Yami said shaking his head. "The doctor said he'd be fine when he wakes up." Yugi nodded. "When he wakes up." Bakura growled. "THAT'S the blasted problem!" Bakura shouted, before Yami clapped a hand over his mouth. "SHH!! Can't you read the signs in here?!" He said shaking his head. "It's a hospital! You need to be QUIET." Yugi nodded. "How about some food to calm your nerves? Maybe a drink?" Bakura scowled. "Maybe...I should just clam up." Bakura nodded. "Bingo."
Bakura jumped when he heard a loud THUNK from the attic. "Oh no..." He ran over to the ladder. "Ryou?! You ok up there?" He shouted up before climbing up himself. Ryou was lying on the floor out cold, a box next to him suggested he had hit his head. Bakura stared for a moment. "What kind of nut keeps wrought iron bedposts in a box?!"
