Well, review turn out thins time was certainly disappointing. I only have
Todo & Shaami to thank -_-
I don't know if this chapter will be any good, since I don't really have the drive to write, due to the disappointment, but I thought I'd better write the next chapter before I forgot what I was doing & for Todo & Shaami, since they always review it. *hugs them both* You two are nice ^_^
Oh, considering the content of the last chapter, do you guys think the rating should be higher? I didn't even think about that until just now.

Ouch. falling to sleep playing games is not a good idea. I wonder why Ryou didn't wake me up, or at least turn the console & TV off? Maybe he slept all night, well, all evening & night.
Malik came down about 18:00 & said he had to leave as Ishizu had called & that Ryou was asleep & he didn't 'have the heart' to wake him. I'd glared at that, making him flinch slightly. Figuring I knew what had been going on upstairs, he quickly apologised & fled the house.
I smirk slightly, seeing Malik so frightened was certainly amusing. He's changed a lot from Battle City too, before he would probably have just laughed, or sneered, something uncaring & nonchalant anyway.
Looking at the clock, I see it is 09:00, wondering why Ryou wouldn't have turned everything off & opened the curtains before leaving, as he always does, I go upstairs to make sure he did get up for school this morning, otherwise he'll be in trouble.
Oh dear, my aibou is still asleep, I really don't want to know what Malik did to tire him out so much, I didn't even want to question that much, now I feel ill again.
Time to wake him up. "Ryou, you need to wake up. Ry?"
He stirs slightly, probably because Malik calls him Ry. Waking up groggily, he looks at me in confusion.
"What's the matter Kura? Where is Malik?"
I growl slightly at the mention of Malik, but answer nicely regardless.
"He had to leave around six yesterday, he said he didn't want to wake you."
Ryou blushes slightly, only adding to my annoyance, so I skip to the next subject, school.
"It's just gone nine, shouldn't you be in school already?"
Ryou looks puzzled. "No, it's a holiday today, didn't I tell you?"
"No. Oh shit." I remember my meeting with Yami, this is not good.
"What's wrong Bakura?" Worry lacing his words.
"Yami invited me to the park yesterday, but I couldn't ask you if it was okay, since you & Malik were at it like rabbits."
I pause deliberately, letting the words sink in. Ryou turns scarlet & he mumbles an apology.
"Anyway, I agreed anyway, since it sounded important. If those idiots aren't in school, what am I meant to do about Yami? I really want to know what this is about."
Ryou stops blushing & a look of consideration takes its place.
"When are you meting him & where exactly?" He asks after a few moments.
"Uh, 12:00, he didn't say where 'exactly' though." I reply mockingly.
Normally I'm not like this with Ryou, but after yesterday, I'm not in the best of moods, which was not helped along by this mornings events up to now. I sigh in annoyance & exit the room.
Returning to the living room, I turn the game & TV off & enter the kitchen to make myself some breakfast. I hear Ryou moving around upstairs, presumably getting dressed. He appears a few moments later, looking thoughtful, yet apologetic, I guess he realises I'm far from happy about seeing what I did, that's good, this way, maybe I won't have to hear about it.
"I can call Yami & ask for a location & then try to keep Yugi & the others out of the way?" It's strange that he can ask a suggestion.
I shrug nonchalantly, not really ready to stop my 'I am very angry leave me alone' act. I want Ryou to suffer a little first, considering all the vile images he's put in my head. That & the fact that the first thing he said was Malik. What about me, his dearly beloved yami?
He leaves the room, taking my shrug as a yes & dials the game shop. I am paying a lot of attention to what's going on, but I don't intend to let Ryou know that.
He goes through small talk with Yugi about their day, before asking for a word with Yami, using the excuse that he needs advice. He quickly gets to the point with Pharaoh & asks for a location, repeating it to make sure he heard correctly. Yami had the sense to pick a secluded spot at least.
Ryou gives his thanks & assures Yami that despite them being absent from school, the meeting is fine. He then hangs up & makes his way back in here, so I quickly go back to doing other things.
"Yami said to meet him by the far side of the lake, the mangled wooded area where no one goes. He also said sorry for not telling you, with Yugi entering the room, he forgot." Ryou left quickly after relaying the message, knowing I had heard.
I smiled slightly, Ryou had learnt a lot when it came to how to deal with me, much more than I had realised. Perhaps there is hope for him yet, now all I have to do is teach him how to defend himself from those idiot bullies, without the ring or myself as help, then he'll be fine. Though really, I expect I'll still be over-protective.
I go upstairs & shower, afterwards changing into a long-sleeved, silver silk shirt & semi-tight black cargo pants, I want to look good at least. I then add kohl; similar to how Malik wears it, though not quite so extravagant, & finishing the look with a tight silver choker. Looking at the clock, I see that it is now 11:00, 45 minutes more & I shall have to leave.
Ryou stares at me when I arrive downstairs, so I look questioningly back, managing not to glare in the process.
"You look really nice yami, I mean it, I don't think I've ever seen you look so hot. That makes me sound egotistical, doesn't it, considering we're practically identical."
I grin slightly in response, because of Ryou's fear of sounding egotistical, he very rarely compliments my looks, so for him to say that, I must look nice, that's good.
Taking a seat, I challenge Ryou to a match on the console, surprisingly enough, he agrees, but only if it's a beat-em-up & not my usual game. I accept his terms & hope that my button-bashing skills are up to speed, otherwise he'll beat me & that won't do at all.

I'm currently sat, waiting for Bakura to arrive, I'm early because I'm so nervous, I really don't know what to say to him. Should I just be blunt & say I've fallen in love with him, or should I ask about his past, or something else entirely? Why does this have to be so hard? I was Pharaoh for Ra's sake, telling the thief the truth shouldn't be that difficult to do.
I sigh & check my watch for the thousandth time, knowing it's still too early. I try to turn my attention to something else, but nothing seems to hold it, my thoughts too set on the tomb robber & our past. 'Our past', why did that sound so right?
I turn my focus inwards & attempt to open a new door in my soul room, determined to unlock something of my past, something to do with Bakura.
I'm shaken back to reality, unaware of how much time has past. Looking up I meet the thief's eyes, surprisingly filled with worry, he hasn't bothered trying to mask his emotions for once.
"Are you okay Pharaoh?" The worry in his eyes doesn't reach his voice however.
"Yes, I'm fine. I was just wandering my soul room while I waited."
I see a look of relief flash in his eyes, before he once again controls himself. Still, knowing he cares to some degree is a reassurance. As are the images I saw in my soul room, no matter how vague, distorted & fragmented they were. I smile slightly at one such fragment; both of us kissing passionately, something I certainly intend to try & repeat in this time frame.
Bakura has a slightly worried look again, which is mainly covered by impatience, though I am unsure as to whether that is real or a mask. Looking at him properly, I notice just how stunningly attractive he looks right now, making the urge to kiss him even worse. I really am going to have a hard time controlling myself.
"What is it you wanted Pharaoh?" Bakura growls, meaning the impatience is very much real.
"Uh. I'm not really sure where to start to be honest." I reply meekly, this earns me a slightly shocked looking thief.
"Why don't you give me some ideas then?" His voice is soft, making it my turn to be surprised; I've never heard him use this tone before.
"I, er. It's about the past & it's, um, it's about us." I manage to stutter out, blushing horrendously.
Bakura looks interested to say the least, the surprise never leaving his eyes, I can also see hope swimming around in the depths of his chocolate orbs, maybe I was right?
"Us?" Bakura's voice is barely a whisper, but I pick up the word nonetheless.
I nod slightly, unsure of what else I can say. I move forward, ready to press my lips against his & that's when I hear it, a shocked Yugi calling my name.
~-~
O.O That was mean of me. I guess Todo must be rubbing off on me ^_^
Long chapter for me, hopefully it'll get me more reviews, otherwise I'll be hard pushed to make myself write the next chapter.
Hope this was okay, as I said, not an easy task to write when you're miffed about lack of reviews, hint, hint.
Anyway, look forward to seeing what people think.
Ja ne!
