I feel as if I have failed all of you…I've been around…but never felt like doing anything with this story, but now I'm ready to work on it again!
My Broken Shell
Chapter 18
"He Needs To Know, We Care Yami!"
The next thing I remember was waking up later on that day. I found myself asleep on the beige rug next to the couch. Ryou was nowhere to be seen. But the person I needed to be home was. Mr. Bakura was back, in his office apparently recording his latest archeological trip. I looked at the bottom of the door, the light was one and I heard a faint humming sound coming from within the room. I felt sleepy and was ready to fall right back asleep.
I made an attempt to move over so I wasn't lying in the same area as before. My body heat had made the carpet hot around where I had been laying. I was about to put my head on my arm and fall back asleep, but at the precise moment "Dad" walked out of his office, humming and carrying a stack of documents. When he noticed me lying on the floor. He chuckled and walked over to me.
"I was wondering when you'd get up." He said, almost mocking me…
I grumbled and sat up, just as he continued, "I didn't know spirits needed so much sleep."
I flatly responded, with "They don't."
He laughed quietly again and walked closer to me and sat down on the couch. He folded his legs and smiled, "You seem edgy."
This took me by surprise, yes I was edgy and everything was getting complicated lately. But how did he guess so easily? Its hard enough expressing feeling for myself...
As if reading my puzzled mind he answered, "I've known Ryou long enough to tell when something is bothering him, and I can tell something is bothering you, besides Ryou told me you're not the quite one, your usually inside that ring, or some other place."
I smirked, "We'll then he doesn't know my all the way through…"
"Don't be so sure about that one, Yami Bakura." He said with my name included. "Is there something bothering you, though? I haven't had real contact with Ryou in a long time I'm not sure I know what to say sometimes."
"Well…." I hesitated. How much does he know of my past with Ryou? If I don't say something right…I can mess up everything, ruin Ryou's life…again
And that would ruin all of my hard work…Dammit…I don't know what to say!
Oh, My God…someone save me…
"Well…let's see, I've been trying to be a pleasant guy lately and…I haven't always been the nicest person to Ryou. I thought maybe we could both plan a party for him, with his small amount friends."
There was a silent, silence in the room, the silence seemed silent…until him finally smiled and broke from thought. "That would be a wonderful idea! Ryou needs this in his life, I haven't been the best parent to him either, he needs to know we both care!"
He jumped up suddenly from the couch inches away from my spot and grinned, then shouted, "Okay, then Yami! You tell me your ideas!"
He marched off towards the kitchen, where he retrieved a pad of paper and a pen. "Hmm, okay, this is gonna be short notice, since it's tomorrow, but who cares?" He said while walking back towards me, he noticed I was still sitting in the exact position I was in before.
I smiled my half smile and went along with Mr. Happy, I told him my ideas, and the friends he had, in the end I felt pretty good about myself, I mean…
Though I still swear he's formulating ideas about me, and what I am…but hey no one ever said I was perfect from the beginning of time anyways.
*bows* I'm getting back on track, with my regular update periods…I've just be here there everywhere the past two months I never got around to it…and there's always that lazy spell… *ducks flying objects...* -_-;;
