A month passed without any incident at all, Yugi and his friends grew to
trust Ruki more as time passed, but she still had a barrier that they could
not penetrate.
"I wonder why she does that?" Joey mumbled, leaning against a tree, as Tea, Tristan, Yugi, and Bakura turned to look at him.
"Does what Joey."
Joey looked up, no longer deep in thought. "Ruki. I wonder why she avoids all our attempts to be friends? We made it quite clear she that we want her to be friends, but she is more evasive than Kaiba, least he's gotten a bit better."
Yugi began to rub the back of his neck, "You know, your right, every time we invite her somewhere, she just says no....."
"And she doesn't smile............" Tea added.
"And she generally hates our guts....." Bakura supplied helpfully.
All sighed in defeat.
"Hey Yugi," Tea perked up, "What does Yami think?"
"Hey, that's a great idea." Joey hit a fist into his palm.
Yugi closed his eyes, and when they opened, all knew them to be the much wiser eyes of Yami.
"I sense much pain from her, very deep, like someone had taken her soul and shattered it. I also sense that this is not the first time she has been hurt this deeply."
"Hey!" Tea jumped up excited, "Let's throw a party and invite her! Like a anniversary of her time here. It'll be her 5th month, almost half a year!"
"Tea, how would we set it up, we set it up? Sure it'd be cool 'en all, but we'd need money, food...." Joey said pessimistically.
"Well, you still have all that prize money left over. I know it didn't take all of it to cover Serenity's operation." She said with a somewhat sly look on her face.
A small blush rose to his cheeks, and he leaned further against the tree, his eyes closed. "Yeah, so? I've been savin' it up for Serenity's college education."
"We don't need a lot, just enough to plan, and hey, everyone can pitch some in."
Joey opened one eye lazily, "If you can come up with three good reasons, I'll consider it."
I AM SO SORRY! I know its been about three months since I last updated, but I've been having lots of trouble: stress, stupid computers dying, homework, school, projects, and writers block.
I know its short, but I hope its enough to get me going again. I also know I haven't written what I was going to write (see last chapter's preview) so I am sorry about that as well.
