"THE KING IS COMMING!!" A card ran through yelling, the other cards began
cleaning and polishing statues of Duel monsters. "Hurry! His highness is
coming!" They all shouted fearfully and began bowing. Ryou blinked as he
noticed that each one was in fact a duel monsters card with Honda heads.
"Oh my...I think I should drop that game..." He said watching as Jono ran
out from no where and pulled a trumpet from his regal robes and began
trumpeting away. "Ahem" Jono said loudly. "His Royal Highness, the King
of Games!" Ryou blinked as Yami, dressed in pharaoh clothing stepped out
and inspected the statues. "Someone has been painting my statues..." He
mumbled wiping blue from a Dark magician's eyes. The cards near Ryou
cringed. Yami walked over to Ryou. He frowned. "Who brought in THIS
statue?" He said looking at Ryou. "Oh...n-no I'm not a statue!" Ryou
said shyly.
Pegasus' warning had frightened him quite a bit. "Ohh..." Yami said looking at him "Do you play games?" Ryou blinked. "Um...no I'm not very - -" Yami clapped his hands. "Wonderful! We will play a game of quick- drawn duel monsters in an hour!" He said turning on his heel. Ryou stared. "How do you play that?"
Ryou listened as the Honda's explained. It was a game played with a deck of 10 cards shuffled all monsters. Who ever drew the most powerful monsters would win. But the catch was you could only have two, six or more star monsters. The rest had to be basic summon monsters. Ryou nodded and picked a deck, as Yami picked his. "Good luck." Yami said smiling and drawing a card.
Ryou had somehow managed to beat the King, and REALLY regretted doing so. "You have cheated!" The King shouted. "Off with his head!" Ryou fell backwards out of his chair. "You can't do that! Not without a fair trial! I didn't cheat!" Ryou sputtered and stood back up. "Fine..." Yami growled. "A trial at once!" He yelled. The Honda cards began running about bumbling and smashing into each other. Ryou groaned as he stood before Yami on a pedestal. "You are charged with cheating in a duel monsters game! How do you plead?" Ryou grumbled. "Not guilty!" He said annoyed at the sham of a court case. "What proof do you have that you didn't cheat?" Yami said tapping his fingers boredly on the gavel. Ryou blinked. "How can I possibly prove I didn't cheat?" Yami nodded. "Exactly, its because you did!" Ryou shook his head. "I did not!"
"OFF WITH HIS HEAD!" Yami yelled as he swung his gavel down, but just before it hit, a red blur flew past and then the gavel was gone. "He didn't cheat!" A voice said from behind Ryou. It was the Hatter and the door mouse. "He couldn't have done it!" Yami frowned. "Have you proof?" Bakura smiled and walked over to Ryou, holding the gavel. "Of course we do! He was celebrating his unbirthday with US! He couldn't have possibly cheated!" Bakura said smiling. "Isn't it YOUR unbirthday your highness?" Yugi said cheerfully. Yami blinked. "Why...yes it is." He said thoughtfully. Bakura and Yugi both grinned at each other. "A VERY merry unbirthday to you!" They sang the familiar song. Ryou sighed. Mokuba looked up at him as the two merry makers distracted the king. "You...can leave." He yawned. "Oh...well that's nice...how?" Mokuba pointed to a small heart shaped hedge. "Oh..." Mokuba nodded.
Bakura stopped merrymaking to walk over to Ryou. "Hey..." He said ears drooping. "You're...leaving aren't you?" He said looking more hurt than when they had parted ways the first time. "Well...I need to go home...," Ryou said feeling bad. "Do you have to?" Bakura said sadly, beginning to fidget with his ears. "You could stay with me...and we could celebrate unbirthdays...and explore and everything!" He said trying to convince Ryou it was a better idea to stay. Ryou frowned. "But...I have friends who will worry if I stay...," Bakura looked down. "I finally found my destiny...and it leaves me so quickly!" He sniffled. Ryou blinked. "Me?" Bakura nodded. "I realized it after you left. So we followed you, because the dormouse said there would come a time when you would need our help." He mumbled.
Ryou frowned. "Oh..." He suddenly felt terrible. "I could teach you all about holidays and you could teach me all about things that I don't know...we could talk an explore...and maybe meet the mome raths." Ryou smiled a little. "I wish I could stay...all those things sound so lovely...but...I have someone I need to take care of too." Bakura looked up and Ryou noticed a single tear slide down the face of his friend. "Oh...no please don't cry...," Ryou said hugging the hare. "Please?" Bakura sniffled. "I don't want to say goodbye again...," Ryou smiled a little. "Then don't...no "goodbye"s...no "farewell"s and no "so long"s...those all seem like forever. How about we promise each other to meet again?" Ryou said giving Bakura one more hug. "Maybe in another dream...or perhaps another time...," Bakura wiped at his tears and nodded. "Then you will come back to see me?"
Ryou nodded. "I'll try...," He said smiling and batting at one of Bakura's ears. "But you have to promise to keep smiling and celebrating unbirthdays until I do." Bakura nodded. "I'll celebrate your unbirthdays too then." He said hugging Ryou tight. Mokuba shook his head. "Hurry..." He mumbled yawning. Bakura nodded. "Yeah...you'd better go...before I go back on our promise and begin crying again...," Ryou nodded and ran towards the door. "Don't ever forget me!" Bakura yelled after him, letting two more tears slide down his cheeks.
Ryou groaned and opened an eye. He looked to his left, vision still blurry. "Ugh...yami?" He said smiling and reaching over to hug his sleeping yami. Bakura opened an eye. "Ryou!" he said and hugged him tightly. "I was so worried!" Ryou winced a bit. "What happened?" He asked not sure how he'd managed to get into a hospital. "You hit your head in the attic." Ryou blinked. It was all comming back to him. "Oh my...I hope I didn't break anything." Bakrua smiled. "No, the doctors said you were fine." Ryou wrinkled his nose. "No no I meant father's things!" Bakura chuckled. "You're more important than that old junk!" Ryou smiled a bit. "Thank you...Have you been neglecting your sleep? You're a mess...," Ryou said shaking his head and smiling more peacefully. "You know that you're supposed to SLEEP!" Ryou half scolded. Bakura nodded. "I was worried...," Ryou chuckled.
Ryou was sent home that evening. He was still a bit weak, but he managed. He ordered out for pizza and sat curled up next to Bakura while munching on a piece. Bakura yawned and finished his piece before leaning his head on Ryou's shoulder lightly. "What did you do while you were sleeping so long?" He mumbled before sneaking his hikari a light kiss. "Nothing much." Ryou said smiling. "The doctors DID say there was nothing wrong with my mind right?" Bakura nodded. "Why?" Ryou sighed happily and smiled. "I was just curious...," Ryou mumbled slipping into a warm slumber with his yami right there beside him.
(Awww ^_^ erm dont hurt me! I didnt purposely make Bakura sad...ok...well maybe a bit.. DONT FORGET TO REVIEW!! ^_^ err...tanks (and yes it is TANKS! I like it like that ^_^ heh) wheeee!)
