Chapter 15

The school bell rang for the Christmas vacation. A whole week of nothing but hanging out with friends, shopping, vacation, etc. No work or school, nothing. I walked silently along the street with my friend, Shawazu Shikyo Shiroiookami;I met her at lunch. "Want to go to the mall?" Shawazu asked me. *I check my pocket for cash. * "Sure, why not?" I answered. I needed a new c.d. player any way. To think about it I was really popular in school now, Compared from the first day of school. I waited for the bus. I watched as 2 kids fought over a ball then one tripped into their pool. I snickered at there stupidity. As the bus pulled up I saw a $50.00 bill in the street. I grabbed it as I climbed into the bus. Shrugging I put it in my wallet...What did you think I was going to do with it?... I starred out the window and tried to listen to other people's conversations. 'I was like no way...And she was like way!....And I was like so totally not believing...And then I'm all as if...And she was...You know....' I rolled my eyes as this Blondie kissed this French guy next to her, probably her boyfriend. The slut... I stood up as the bus stopped in front of the mall. Getting out of the bus I rapidly went window-shopping as Shawazu tried to keep up with me. I stopped at "Joe's electric stuff!" I walked in. Lava lamps, radios, phones, and more filled the walls. I stopped at the section, which held the c.d. players. I looked mostly at the prices. Finally, I saw a silver one that was only about 40.00.

After paying the clerk, I went back into the main hallway. Finding Shawazu in a gothic type of shop we went to eat pizza. I ordered an extra cheese slice with sprite while Shawazu ordered pepperoni on hers with a mountain dew. Suddenly, Duke Devlin came in. Sitting across from me I excused myself from the table.

I stopped rinsing my face and went back out. After telling Shawzu that I had to go I left.

I threw myself onto the couch and started flicking different channels on the television.

"Dumb.Dumber.Dumbest!" Frustrated I chucked the remote toward the door just as Ryou walked in. I missed him by a millimeter.

"Sorry." I mumbled starring at the ceiling.

"That's ok." He answered.

"I am bored."

"I can see that." "Shut up."

"Its true!"

I sat up and glared at him.

"Why don't you get involved into something you like?"

"I'd be in jail or be facing a death sentence if I did that." My answer made him turn a little bit pale.

"Well, I just came in here to tell you that I'm going with the guys to the movies, bye!" He waved as he left.

Soon after that Bakura stumbled in. Seeing that I was in the same room he left.

"Baka.´I muttered retreating the kitchen. I started to make a bowl of macaroni when I thought of a devilish idea. Placing the macaroni in a bowl I closed the door just enough so that I could place it on top without being seen. Grabbing a camera I yelled for him.

"Bakura!" I screamed. Just as I thought I could here him coming down the stairs.

"What do you want! "? He yelled.

"I need your help with something"!

Getting the camera ready I waited as he came closer the kitchen door. Finally he walked in. I clicked the camera just as the macaroni fell onto his white hair, now an orange mess. I fell onto the floor laughing as bakura made a disgusted cry. Just then the doorbell rang. I answered it.

Ryou and everyone walked in, seeing bakura they burst out laughing. Bakura gave me a threatening look before storming away.

"We just wanted to check on you before we left, well seeing you have everything under control we'll go, bye!" They left. I could hear the shower running upstairs. I giggled again before cleaning up the macaroni. As I was done I headed for the deserted bathroom. After taking a shower I tiptoed toward my bedroom. After throwing on a pair of nightgown pants and an overgrown t-shirt I went back downstairs.

I sat next to bakura on the couch. He was starring at the television. (You know that sparkly, white n black, and sort of specks thingy when the tele is on? Well that's what bakura was watching)

"What are you watching?" I asked. He turned it off and sat back into the couch. We sat in silence before I grabbed the clicker. Turning on to the mtv channel I watched a music video by linkin park before bakura shut it off.

"Why did ya do that for?" I glared at him. I hated when people turned off the television when I was watching it.

He smirked.

"It was giving me a headache, and besides it was boring." He yawned.

"Your such a self-centered ass hole!" I grabbed for the clicker but only to have him throw it across the room.

"You're not any better, bitch." He mumbled underneath his breath.

"I'm leaving." I started to get up.

"Good! It'll be quieter when you're gone!" He pushed me out of the living room. I ignored the sudden pain in the pit of my stomach and sat in the kitchen.

The clocks small tick-tocks echoed threw out the quit house. I sat in the darkness. The lights were now out in the living room, so the house was painted black. I didn't know how long I sat there but it was about 11:00 when I looked at the clock. I got up but stumbled into bakura on the staircase.

Grabbing the railing for support I went into my room.

Another hour passed. Finally I could here Ryou come in then go straight to his bedroom. I could here soft padded footsteps going toward my bedroom. I twisted my neck so I could see the small figure in the doorway. I sat up.

"Who's there?" I whispered.

"It's me, Ryou."

"Oh, you can come in."

"No, it's ok."

"Ok. What do you want?"

"I just needed to ask you something."

"Yes, go on."

I could here him sigh before continuing. "Do you like Bakura more then me?"

"Mais non! Of course not, I like you both the same."

"Oh, ok. Sorry if I disturbed you."

"it's ok.Good night Ryou."

He went back to his room. Suddenly I could here a different pair of footsteps leading to my room. 'Man, does anyone sleep in this house?' I thought to myself as I ignored the figure in the doorframe. The figure went up to my bedside n pulled up a chair.

"Go away." I mumbled.

"No."

I turned over so I could face him.

"You lied to him."

"Who?"

"Don't act like an idiot, I am talking about Ryou."

"So what?"

"You lied to him. Why did you do that?"

I sat up.

"Your right I did lie to him. And I have a good reason."

"What your reason? And what is the truth?"

"My reason is simple I don't give a shit who knows the truth and I don't give a shit who's knows my lie. My truth when I said I like you both same is the opposite. I like him as a friend. But you aren't a friend. You are more like a fly, It won't go away!"

I started to get up.

"If you really want to know the truth I'll give you the truth."

I glared at him and waited a moment before continuing.

"I hate you Bakura. I hated you since the first time you hurt me. I hated you since you lied to me. I hate you." He looked up. I turned around so he couldn't see my tears that were now flowing down my cheeks.

"Then I'll leave." I could here the pain in his voice as he said that. I felt so alone when he left. After awhile I got up. Tiptoeing toward Bakura's sort-of room I stood still before going on all fours toward his bed. I got up slowly as I came closer toward his bed. His back faced me and he still wore his day clothes.

I quietly go on top of the bed next to him. Still sitting up I placed my hand on his shoulder. He ignored it and moved father away.

"Leave me alone." He mumbled. I reached over and traced the path on his cheeks that the tears had made.

"If you want me to go, I'll Go." I whispered. He turned over to face me.

"Go." I turned back around.

"Then you can tell Ryou why I won't be here in the morning."

^^^***^^^

I drove through the still darkness. Reaching Shawazu's house I grabbed my most important back then knocked on her door. After about 15 minutes she answered.

"Can I stay here for awhile?" I asked.

"Yeah sure." She yawned. "What time is it?"

"Minuit et demi."

She gave me a puzzled look.

"Half past midnight."

She led me toward the guest room before leaving. Throwing my stuff in the room I passed out onto the bed.

^^^***^^^

"What's wrong?" She asked me handing me a cup of coffee. I was still in bed but sick.

"Tout, Everything." I ignored the fact that I cept speaking in French before taking a sip.

"Thanks for the coffee, Sorry I woke you up last night."

"It's ok." She left to go get ready for the day. I grabbed a nearby phone. I dialed in the number.

"Hm.Hello?" Ryou asked, sounding hafe asleep.

"Yes, Ryou? I am over Shawazu Shikyo Shiroiookami house. I am sorry I didn't leave a note or anything but I was kind of getting me...sick over your house."

"Oh, ok. I'm sorry you couldn't stay.Will you come back?"

"I might, well I got to go, Bye!" I hung up. I got up and got ready for the day.

Suddenly the doorbell rang. Seeing that I was dressed I answered the door. There stood Bakura.
