Chapter 7
Yippee!!!!! ^______^ I'm happy… really happy. I love my reviewers!!! =D =D =D This story contains about… 15-16 chapters I guess… =\ And I've written all up to chapter 12 so far. Hm, you just have to wait for me to type them up!! ^ But… I type really slow. -_____- I want to get this story over with so that I could start on my *cough* EGYPT *cough* ficcie. It just caught to my attention yesterday. Oh, well, I have to finish this fic first. =\
*sees Ryou* Ahh, Ry-chan! Good morning!
Ryou: … its midnight. -___-
*glances at clock* Oh, right! Shouldn't you be in bed with Kura?
Ryou: … *blushes darkly* How did you know?
Aww, its true that you two sleep together, eh? ^_______^
Ryou: …
WELL…!?
Ryou: Well what?
Well, what do you two do in bed?? *nudge nudge*
Ryou: … *blushes hotly* Um… Goodnight, I feel like sleeping. *walks off to bedroom*
Awww, isn't he cute?? XD Evil, evil me.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Ryou stood standing in front of the door. What had he just done? He squeezed his eyes shut, preventing more tears to pour. Sighing deeply, Ryou slowly turned the doorknob. He was going to get his yami. It seemed like this was all his fault, and Ryou felt a strong guilt lurch in his heart.
His yami was ever so difficult to understand. He was unpredictable, not to mention stubborn and short-tempered. And he could actually change his personality, he feelings, his emotions, his thoughts… ever so quickly. One moment his yami was mocking, yelling, screaming at him, and the sudden sweet and soft voice registered Ryou's ears. 'Then I will leave. You don't deserve to be the one out in the rain.' Bakura's voice popped into Ryou's head.
Why didn't Bakura let him leave? Bakura had left instead of him. But why? And why wasn't Ryou deserved to be out in the rain?
Ryou stepped out with his umbrella. He remembered he and Bakura had been together under this same umbrella countless times. But those countless times were merely good memories. They were times when Bakura forced Ryou to steal the pharaoh's puzzle. Even though they weren't pleasant recalls, Ryou enjoyed thinking about he and his yami's times spent together.
Now, where was his yami? Where could be possibly go? Oh yes—Ryou recalled the night before; his yami had said he went to get drunk. A flash of hatred spread across Ryou's face—Malik introduced his yami to drinking. Stupid Malik. Ryou frowned, he hated going to pubs, even when he had chances of seeing Bakura there. But his yami had really stopped going to pubs for quite a while, and he shouldn't start again now.
But who knows what his yami would do? Yami Bakura was unpredictable. So Ryou set foot to every bar he knew, with a slight hope of finding his yami in his heart.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Bakura almost drowsed in a tree. He felt as if he climbed up into a high place, then he would be up high and away from all troubles. But he was wrong. Troubles seem to find and follow him, no matter where he hides.
The rain was almost like a barrier of water. So there he was, up in a tree, trying to rethink his former actions to Ryou. What had he done?? …Started a fight—again.
Suddenly he felt a rush of anger rising. Stupid pharaoh! If his highness didn't remind him that he loved Ryou, then this would not have happened. He would be at home, nice and cozy, watching television with his beautiful hikari… never mind. If the pharaoh hadn't remind him of his feelings for the boy… then the situation might be worse.
Yes, let's blame it all on the pharaoh.
But why did he choose not to love the boy? Ryou was so sweet, so beautiful, so angelic, so pure, so innocent. Yes, those were the reasons why he couldn't love Ryou. He just can't. Ryou was the light, and he was the dark. Dark will overpower the light if they were mixed together! But nah, maybe it was the other way around. But whichever way it was, dark and light were not made to be together. They didn't even have anything in common, do they? Ryou was sweet, angelic, pure and innocent—the exact opposite qualities of himself—Cold, devilish, tainted, nocent.
He could not let his darkness spoil the beautiful hikari's angelic qualities. So he could not possibly love Ryou. If he truly cherishes Ryou with his heart, he should know that Ryou would be better, way better, without him.
…But unknown to Bakura, he was wrong. So wrong.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Ryou now realized how Bakura had felt when he had to search for him. Searching for 1 person in one whole town wasn't an easy job. He had rummaged all the pubs he knew, and they were certainly, in Ryou's opinion, not fun at all. Fights were occurring in some of them, and Ryou was glad Bakura wasn't one of the people in the fights, as his yami was known to fight a lot in Egypt.
Rain is now added to Ryou's least favourite things. His umbrella had flipped over from time to time from the harsh and cold wind. The water droplets were so hard and cold that it feels like rocks falling from the sky. How could his yami stay in such weather?
But Ryou refused to give up. He will not let the light inside him burn out. He would find his yami.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Bakura was tired of staying in a tree, and he decided it was best if he'd go to someone's house to stay for the night. But whose? A… friend, maybe? …But which friend? The only friends he had was Malik and Marik… or even perhaps the pharaoh. He couldn't go back to Ryou, Bakura was sure the boy was enjoying his new freedom without his annoying and arrogant yami around. And as for going to the pharaoh… it was hard to imagine what the pharaoh would say when he sees Bakura on his doorstep, pleading to stay over for the night. Probably the pharaoh would ask him to beg on his knees… "Oh, your royal majesty, please, please let me stay over…" and have the door slammed in his face, with the background laughing of the pharaoh. Bakura shuddered at the thought.
The last was… Malik and Marik? The two handsome Egyptians live together and are couples. If Bakura stays over he might be a bit… intruding. …So what, then? He was Yami Bakura. And if he wants to intrude, he will intrude.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Ryou was now soaked, drenched, and immerged in water. Where the Ra was his yami? Ryou checked his watch—midnight. Think, Ryou! Where would Bakura go? He tried using his sennen ring.
/Yami…?/
//… shut up.// Was the reply. Before Ryou knew it, his yami closed the link. Sighing, Ryou slid to the ground. Crouching down, his breaths ragged, Ryou didn't know if he could continue the search any longer. He was tired and drenched, and his yami was nowhere to be found.
Then he saw it. A glimpse of silvery white. Ryou narrowed his eyes at the colour and focused at it. Yes, it was what he thought it was—his yami.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
