Ryou--somehow--had gone clinically insane scine the last time Seto had seem him. It had been raining fordays,and the street was flooded with three feet of water--AND RYOU WAS RIDING HIS BIKE! "I have a secret that nobody knows,alalalalal!Wait..was that a car that just floated by?Some amazingly large carbohydrates are also floating by.How amazingly peculair." He heared barking in the tune of Bachs ninth symphony, and turned to see his dog,swimming down the street. "MANCHI!!!!!!!" "AAOOOO!!" "MANCCCHIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!" "AOOO!" "MMMMAAAAANNNNNCCCHHHHHIIIIIIIIII!!"Ryou finally caught his stupid dog. "Why you are out here is a question that shall remain unanswered.Besides,I need you.You're my emergency food supply!" The dog went limp. "Aww..what happened to all that energy you had just a minute ago?...BESIDES!I need you to plump and firm when I eat you.Yeah..just you and some broccoli....HEY?!Wheres my bike!?I only turned away for 30 seconds to a minute and half and already my bike has been STOLEN!"He stood,tied the dog to his chest with a scarf. "HIWEVER,I SHALL NOT LET THIS GET ME DOWN!I'LL JUST SWIM HOME!!"He cried,not noticing his bike float by behind him. The dog whimpered. "Uh..Ryou..Is that you?"Seto asked. "LOOK!ITS KAIBA!!" he yelled at nobody in particular."WHY ARE YOU IN MY DIMENSION OF HELLISH HUNGER WHEN MY EMERGENCY FOOD SUPPLY SEEMS TO NOT LIKE ME!?" "UH....Ryou,are you okay?" "Yes.I am fine,Thanks for your concern."Ryou smiled sheepishly."Um..Can I have a ride home?Bakura's probably worried sick." \\DAMN RIGHT I AM!!\\ Bakura growled.\\EXACTLY WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!!?YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO THE STORE T BUY EGGS!\\ Ryou sweatdropped. ::Erm......I..guess I got a bit..uh..sidetracked.Hey,did you know that Manchi got loose?:: \\No,But I do now.\\ "Ryou...?"Seto noticed the glazed look on his face. "Sorry.Just talking to Bakura.He said he was worried about me." "Ch'. The Tomb Robber?Scince when does he worry about you?" "Oh,thats right.You werent there.We..um...kinda..fell..in..Um..love." "Oh?"Seto raised a brow."I guess Icould drop you off at home." "Oh!Domo arrigatou,Seto-kun!!" Manchi cried. "SHUT UP,DOG."Ryou snarled. Both Seto and Manchi sweatdropped. *** "Bakkkuurraaa!"Ryou called."Seto is heeereee!He wants to seeeeee you!!" "I'll be down in a sec,Ara. Just let me--OW!" at that moment,Bakura rolled down the flight of steps,Hit the bottom and stared blankly up at Ryou. "You're wearing a towel."Ryou observed. "I was in the shower."Bakura shot. Ryou helped Bakura stand, and Bakura held out his hand to shake Seto's. Seto looked at it blankly,then shoook his hand. "Ryou tells me you two are....in love.So?" Bakura kissed Ryou lightly,Then nodded at Seto. "Yeah.It was just a misunderstanding at first,but yeah."Bakura confirmed. Ryou patted his head. "Flufffffyyy...Hey..Did you use my shampoo!?" Bakura: sweatdroped. "Uh......Nice talking to ya,Seto,Gotta go." "COME BACK HERE!THE LEAST YOU COULD DO WAS ASK ME FIRSSSSSSTTTTTT!!!!!!!!" "You still would have said no!" "I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT YOU YOUR OWN!" Seto shook his head sadly. Manchi sighed. *** Ryou awoke to stare into the eyes of--MANCHI!He looked again--he had sleep- walked. He was in the kicthen,A cleaver in one hand and the pepper in the other. Poor Manchi was curled into a ball on the cutting board,staring up at Rou,pleadigly. "Eh..heheh..It seems that while Ryou was sleeping,His brain was taking care of the needs for his body. I EVEN HAVE THE SALT!SAALLLTYYY!!!"the threw the salt onto the ground and sweapt Manchi into his arms. "Aw..dont worry Manchi..I wouldn't eat you like that,No,not at all."He pet Manchi lightly."No,I'd have to make sure you're cooked right and stuffed,just like a turkey."He said with a smile. Manchi sweatdropped. "Ryou!Are you thinking about eating my dog?"Bakura tapped his foot on the linoleum. "Um..not at all."
