BlackRose: This fic is going along nicely, if I do say so myself.
I'm nervous as I enter my apartment. It's dark again. Seto said Bakura would be waiting for me, but I'm not so sure. I hear a cat's meow. Never mind. My hand reaches into my pocket and clutches the glass vial. I just hope Bakura doesn't catch on.
"You know…wouldn't it just be easier to be in your…er…Guardian form, since I already know your not a cat?"
I know he said to pretend it never happened…but does he really just expect me to forget? Apparently so as I hear a growl.
"I'm not going to forget that my cat turned into a flying man any time soon…" I grumble. He must have heard me, because instead of hearing a cat, a gruff voice growled,
"It's not my fault you saw me." I rolled my eyes. Inside I was nervous as anything.
What if he saw through my act?
I realized he was staring at me, cold brown and red eyes narrowed, pale arms crossed over his chest.
"What?"
"Well? Do you plan on making dinner anytime soon?"
*~*
I smile as I see Bakura begin to nod off at the dinner table. It's working all ready. I glance at the clock on the kitchen wall. Good timing too. It's already 11:30. I get up and place my dishes in the sink. No need to wash them, as I'm never coming back. I don't need to worry about leaving a cat by itself, as Hogo is now unconscious at the table, using his dinner as a very squishy pillow.
All I bother to take with me is my coat before I'm out the door, and down the steps, waiting for the car to come. It's already there, much to my relief. I'm not sure how long I would have been able to wait. All I wanted was to be in Seto's arms again. As I walk towards the car, the driver gets out, walks around to the other side, and opens my door. He is much taller than I, and lanky. Oddly enough, he's not wearing a chauffeur's uniform…instead dressed in a blue suit with a yellow dress shirt and a red tie. His green fuzzy green hair looks as if it hasn't seen a brush in months. A cigarette is dangling from his lips as he offers me a crooked smile. Then he frowns as he realizes I'm empty handed.
"You're going to be bored as hell, you know. It takes a couple hours to get to there."

The chauffeur, whose name is Spike, ends up making the drive very entertaining as we engage in a conversation. He used to work for a syndicate or something like that, and wanted out, so he had to lay low for a while. Why he picked a chauffeur of all professions, I have no idea. It seems like an eternity before Seto's mansion finally comes into view. It is enormous. And incredibly secluded.
The sky is just starting to pinken in the distance. I'm giddy with delight. In just a few moments, I'll be seeing Seto again.
BlackRose: Sorry! I know, this ones short too! The next chapter will be longer, I promise. This was just something short to put for how Ryou get's there…although the next chapter is going to be about Bakura once he wakes up. Oh, and for those of you who don't know…the chauffeur is Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop. :-P I just couldn't resist. ^.^ Like I said before…the next chapter will be longer…PROMISE!!!!
