Help and Hindrance
By: Saturn
AN- Hello again, and I have to say that I'm tremendously sorry for the long wait. I've been busy but after next week I'll have time to post more chapters over the holidays. And I have the next two chapters written, so hopefully the wait won't be that long. Thanks for your patience and please review!!
Chapter 7:
Anger, Helplessness and Snakes
"I can't believe this!" Bakura shouted, slamming the book shut and clutching his head in his hands. "There's absolutely nothing that I can do and Ryou needs me!" Bakura rubbed his temples and sat down on the library floor. Yugi, Yami and Joey all looked at each other.
Yugi sat by Bakura's side and said, "You can't blame yourself for this. Ryou seems to be in good hands," Yugi gently took the book from Bakura's hands and leafed to the final written page. "I mean, this Solara said she would help Ryou out." Yugi looked towards Bakura. He looked at Yugi with red, swollen eyes.
"I guess you're right, but I just wish I could do something, anything to help him now. I've always been so horrible to him, and now I just want to be there for him," Bakura replied.
Joey looked at eth ceiling dreamily, "I mean, it's not like we don't know how you feel. Ryou is still our friend too, and we still know how you feel if the tables were turned. I'd feel awful is my sister was in Ryou's position. And we're all going to do our best to get him home."
As Bakura opened his mouth to reply, the book turned its page and began to write again. On one page, a picture of a large snake drew itself as the words blotted out of the other page. Yami and Joey knelt to see the book and Bakura anxiously peered over Yugi's shoulder at the writing. Each of the four read the inscription carefully:
In the kingdom of Pyria, a snake is a symbol of power and respectability. Just as the Egyptians on Earth worshipped cats, the Pyrian leaders often kept a snake to flaunt their power. A snake's power was determined by its strength and venom, the deadlier the snake the better. An almost legendary snake, the Atillado, is considered the most respectful snake in Pyria. The only one known is currently owned by none other than Lord Urashima himself.
"Now I really don't like this," Bakura said as the writing trailed off and didn't continue.
AN- Woo. Sorry that was so short but the next chapters are much longer. And I promise more action in the next chapters. Please be a good reader and review!!
