Author's Notes: Read if you want...
Ryu-Sama - Yes we know... Fanfiction.net has an evil twin, that has been taking it's place these past few days... And I am oh-so sorry... I'm leaving early, so... I'm gonna be gone at least a week with no computer... no technology higher than a TV with antennas... And a phone... Not sure which is higher... lol
Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!
LeDiz, hehe heh.... Actually, I think it was the comic version of her... Only thing I've got against that particular her is that she's taller than me (someone said in the upper 6 ft range... ouch)... other than that... when she's got the leather (I think, v.\\) outfit, she's kinda hot... lol. You didn't mind that I made him sound like Steve Erwin? Phew, I thought I was in trouble, there... lol.... Did Dundee actually say anything about that? It's been ages since I've seen that movie... You like Duo? Because of me? (You did say that you didn't really know anything about GW..) And Quatre? Quatre's cute... Well... I'd better finish this fast...
In short, I feel loved...
Ilanna, The accents are kinda cool, I think... (or else I wouldn't bother with them...) You're getting bored with others? Thank you for advertising my story! *hug* You should review more often... .\\ With specifics... lol
Warnings for the chapter: Uhm..... Bakura, I guess...
~@~
Ryu lie awake. He didn't want to bother anyone at this time of the morning, so... He stayed there. Turning over, he looked at the clock. 3:30 AM. He sighed. There was no way he'd get up and bug anybody this early.
'Why not?' asked the other voice.
'Because I don't want to be a bother..." he answered.
'Just get up. Why are you awake anyway? You think noisily.'
'I'm sorry...' And really, he was. He didn't like being rude to his other half any more than anyone else.
'Well, if you let me take over, we can get up.'
'But you'll wake everyone else up. I couldn't let you do that!' He really couldn't. He could tolerate his other half being rude to some extent, but he wouldn't let him wake everyone up!
The mental equivalent of a sigh reached him. 'Alright, I'll be good.'
'Promise?'
'I swear.'
Ryu let his control slip. 'You know what happens if you do anything, right?'
'I know...' Bakura took full control. "Gah..." he muttered. "Now I see why you couldn't sleep... Want water."
He sat up and looked around the room. And nearly jumped out of his skin when a smooth, deep voice spoke, "You're awake too?"
He thought back... That voice... was Ryu's roommate... What was his name? "What is your name?"
"Eh? Duo." He yawned. "You switch?"
Bakura blinked. "How did you know?"
"Ryu was telling me to call him Bakura if he acted different."
"Hn..." Bakura thought for a moment. "I don't know my way around here... Would you show me where things are?"
"Sure, couldn't sleep anyway..."
Bakura grinned to himself. 'Servant type," he thought.
And then Duo spoke again, "But you'll have to help me with something in return..."
'Or maybe not... Capitalist.' "With what?"
"Well... Actors are supposed to be fashion conscious people... I'm lookin' for a new way to wear white..."
Bakura blinked. "What?"
Duo chuckled softly in the darkness, across the room from him. "I'll take that as a 'help you later'..." He jumped up. "Where first?"
"I was hoping for something to drink first."
"Alright, then, this way to the kitchen!"
~*~
Duo sat at the table. Bakura was very energetic. He decided to start a conversation, "Ryu was saying that you had mutant powers?"
Bakura jumped. "Huh? He did?"
Duo grinned into his bowl of cereal. "You know what this place is?"
"A mansion?"
"Duh. It's a place where mutants train there powers."
Bakura frowned at him. "Well, huh."
"So, do you know what your power is? If you tell me yours, I'll tell you mine." Duo grinned charmingly at him.
"I can... well, the ancients called it... sealing. Only I don't think you would understand the proper word for it... And I can break seals. Magic type seals."
Duo thought about it. "Does that mean you can... 'seal' someone else's power?"
"I can 'seal' the whole person... generally, into a small object." He held up a what looked like a Pokèmon or Digimon card. "I can also break the seals on these... Which releases the monster shown."
Duo's eyes widened. "That's cool!"
"And you?" Bakura raised an eyebrow.
"Me? I seem to attract the attention of the undead. I can control them too. But its still freaky." Duo fiddled with his spoon. "It's not fun, to have the ghost of someone who was murdered thirty odd years ago, come and bug you."
Bakura frowned. "Wow. Can you make zombies?"
Duo nodded, "I think so... The professor says that I can do more... but I don't know..."
"That, in and of itself is frightening." Bakura frowned. "Okay, scenario. If I was dead, and you revived me, could I still seal things?"
Duo frowned. "I don't know," he stated thoughtfully, "and I really don't want to... ugh.."
Bakura frowned again. "I can understand that..."
"Yeah...."
~*~
Quatre sighed. He had managed to get a new ID, and put a stop on his old credit cards... He told the cops that he was okay, and managed to get a new copy of his driver's license, and even a new credit card...
So, all was good.
Except John wanted ice cream, and Remy wanted beer.
"No! For the last time! We are not getting beer, or ice cream. Do either of you know what healthy snacks are? Allah, I'm beginning to wonder why I'm getting snacks... Besides, ice cream is messy."
"Cigs?"
"No, Remy, I said 'snacks', right? That means food. Something that won't melt in a car?"
John poked them both in the sides. "Howa bout we eat first, argue after?"
Quatre nodded. "I have a headache..."
After a decent sized meal, Quatre was convinced into getting John an ice cream cone, and Remy some cigarettes... but no beer.
Quatre was driving again... but they'd ditched the pickup. Quatre bought a car for them to go the rest of the way in. Sleeping in that truck had been hell.
So, Remy and John both had room for their feet, and no one had to deal with the cold. And now, they could sleep in a hotel.
~*~
Duo just knew that Ryu Bakura would have a hard time, if he went to school, and damn was he right. Luckily, he went back to "Ryu". Ryu seemed to be better equipped to deal with it...
Another luckily, was that only a few people recognized him right off.
So, around lunch time, Duo was once again trying to get his lunch, that had fallen behind his books.
"Grrrr! Damnit! Why, oh why, do I have a top locker?"
Ryu walked up to him... Oh, wait... nope, it was Bakura. "Huh, well, I'm not much taller than you, so I don't think I could help."
"Noneed. Here,Igotit. Doyouwanttogotodinneragainwithme,Duo?" Pietro reached between them and pulled Duo's lunch out of his locker.
Duo grinned while Bakura scowled in confusion. "Thanks... Sure! Where too?"
"Hmm...Justmanagedtogetsomemoneyfrommydad...so...DoyoulikeItalian?"
"Sounds good!"
Pietro looked down the hall. "Oh,Duo,Ireallygottowarnyou..."
Duo frowned. "What?"
"Lanceisoutforblood...He'sreallypissedaboutthe...Whatwasitthatyoushoveddownh isshirtanyways?"
Duo shifted uncomfortably. "Uhm... A cherry bomb. It didn't hurt him too bad, did it?"
Pietro grinned briefly, still looking down the hall. "Oh,it-hurt- him,butitdidn'treallyriphimtopeices,yaknow? He'smorepissedthananythingelse,really..."
"Well... Katsuya said that it probably hurt like hell..."
Pietro looked down at him. "YoutalkedtotheKat? Lanceispissedathimtoo..."
Duo wrinkled his nose. "I can understand that... I guess... So! On a lighter note! After school, in the courtyard?"
"Yep,andI'llseeyouthen...Oh,and'hi'toyourfriendtherewhocan'tunderstandme." He walked -fast- down the hall to get back to his "group".
Bakura scowled at Duo.
Duo stared back. "What?"
"I didn't understand a single word of what he said."
"Oh, that... He told me to tell you 'hi'... and uhm... He said that Lance wants to kill me..."
Bakura snorted. "Can you revive yourself?"
Duo frowned at him.
"And what was it about... cherry bombs?"
"Oh, that..." Duo laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. "I... uhmm... shoved one down the back of Lance's shirt."
"Now, I see why he wants to kill you. Is he at school today?" Bakura smirked slightly. 'Definitely not the "servant type". Why'd I label him that, anyway?'
"I doubt it.... would you go to school after that?"
"I wouldn't go to school in the first place, if it weren't for my 'better- half'. This place is full of annoying, whiny children. They should all die."
Duo choked. And glared. "You remind me of Heero. The guy's an absolute bastard!"
"Who's an absolute bastard?" a cold voice asked from behind.
~@~
Ryu-Sama - Aha!! Evil me! Remember that!! Evil Ryu! Is this Heero, standing behind them? Or is it something more sinister? Is Quatre gonna go nuts? Is he gonna get his room back? And Ryu Bakura is not me! Just so you know that! And I'm a nut, and the chapter probably sucks... But remember...
Don't forget to tell me what you think. Is it good? Bad? Did it suck royal ass? Or did you (Kami-sama forgive me for this blasphemy) actually like it?
C'mon people! I live for reviews!! Tell me all! Or else my happy thoughts will go away!! Wah!!!
Max and Ryu - *staring*
Ryu - What is it?
Max - I do not know.
Ryu - It... looks human... kinda.
Max - I think it is too small to be human.
Ryu - Hey... I was that size once!
Max - *blinks*
Ryu - What?
Max - Really? Then... Why are you bigger now?
Ryu - *sweatdrops*
Max - *stares expectantly*
Ryu - I grew up.
Max - That works... I suppose.
Ryu - Can we keep it?
Max - You name it.
Ryu - What?
Max - You are the mother.
Ryu - What!?!
Max - All small creatures need a mother. So, since you want to keep it, you are the mother.
Ryu - But... Okay...... I guess.... I'll call it... *checks for gender* Lori... I guess... But I dun wanna be a mama!!
