The Lost Item
Chapter 3

'So what?' said Bakura getting up to leave. 'That's just one other item for me to steal.' 'Oh,' he added. 'Not that I care, but you've completely broken the balance of nature, and you can bet your puzzle the gods ain't gonna be to pleased with you.'

Bakura walked away quickly, and paused to look back once. He was about to say something, but he shook his head and left. As he walked down the street towards his house, he couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for Yami. 'Bah!,' he said to himself. 'It's Yami's problem, not mine. I shouldn't care.' When he stepped inside and sat down at the couch, Ryou walked in. There was a moment of awkward silence, until Bakura looked at him.

'What do you want?' he asked rudely.

'Dinner will be ready in two minutes,' said Ryou, who was used to Bakura's rudeness by now. Bakura just snorted, and as Ryou walked out of the room, he picked up a magazine, which was lying on the table, and started to read.

'Dinner's ready!' called Ryou from the kitchen. Bakura got up, taking the magazine with him to read at the dinner table.

'What're you doing? Drooling over the girls in the magazine?' asked Ryou with a smile.

'Hn. The Mother-God, Isis was much more beautiful.'

'I'll bet. Eat your dinner.'

Bakura looked down at his plate of raw pork. He licked his lips and started to eat it like an animal. Ryou looked on in disgust, but said nothing, and continued eating his own (cooked) meal. After dinner, Bakura went upstairs, and Ryou started to clean the dishes, when the phone rang.

'Hello?' said Ryou as he picked it up.

'Hi Ryou. It's Yugi,' said the voice on the other line.

'Hi Yugi. What's up?'

'Um, Yami just came back from a walk, and he said that he met Bakura, and they talked. Can you ask him if that's true, please?'

Ryou sighed. 'Ok,' he said. 'I'll be right back.' Bakura put down the receiver, and started the climb up the stairs to the guest bedroom. After his parents had left for vacation, Bakura had insisted on getting to have the extra bedroom, and he'd taken the stereo up as well. The loud crashing noise told Ryou that Bakura was listening to heavy metal music. This was the only kind of music that Bakura seemed to like. Ryou walked into the room, but Bakura didn't notice him because the music was to loud.

'HEY!' Ryou yelled. Bakura looked up, and said something, but Ryou couldn't hear him, so he walked over and turned the music off.

'Put that back on,' growled Bakura.

'Did you meet Yami on your walk?' asked Ryou, getting to the point immediately.

'Yeah I did, now put the music back on.'

'I wouldn't really call that music,' said Ryou as he walked out of the room (without putting the music back on, I might add).

'Yes he did,' said Ryou into the phone when he returned downstairs.

'Oh, um, can you ask him if he noticed anything strange about him?' 'For goodness sake, Yugi! How about I put him on, and you can ask him yourself!'

'N-no, that's ok,' came Yugi's frightened voice from the other line.

'Don't worry. The most you can do is get him really mad, and he'll beat me up over it. I'll go and get him.' Ryou put the phone down, and walked to the foot of the stairs.

'BAKURA!' he yelled, and he was thankful that he hadn't put the music back on.

'Yeah?' came Bakura's irritated voice from the top of the stairs.

'Yugi wants to talk to you. Come down here.'

As Bakura trudged down the stairs, Ryou was sure he heard Bakura mumbling to himself in ancient Egyptian. Bakura picked up the phone.

'Yeah?' he said harshly into the receiver. Ryou smiled. Bakura got a lot of fun out of scaring Yugi.

'U-u-um, B-Bakura...' came Yugi's frightened voice. 'On..y-your w-w-w-

'OUT WITH IT MAN!' yelled Bakura. 'MY PATIENCE IS GROWING THIN!'

'OnyourwalkdidyounoticeanythingstrangaboutYami?' said Yugi very quickly. It took Bakura a few moments to work out what Yugi had said.

When he finally did, he answered, 'Your so-called "perfect" Pharaoh has made a great mistake, which will probably cost him an eternity in the Shadow Realm, if that's what you're asking.' And with that, he slammed down the phone. Ryou walked in and said, 'I do wish you'd go a bit easier on the furniture. Geez, it would be so much nicer if I had Yami instead.'

'You won't be hoping that for much longer,' said Bakura as he went back upstairs to listen to more heavy metal.
Did you like? You might be able to guess what Bakura and Yami are talking about but if you can't.. You'll find out soon enough so don't worry. Peace!
