Laria: more reviews!

Ryou: that are still two days apart.

Laria: I know!! It freaky

Bakura: Laria, you are the only freaky thing here

Laria: uh!

Ryou: Yami! Be nice!

Bakura: why should I?

Laria: because I'm the authoress and I have the power to kill people off.

Bakura: so? I'd rather die then stay in this story

Laria: I wouldn't kill off the main character, I have others in mind

Bakura: *gulp*

Making My Own Paradise

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[September 27 - Entry 34]

Ok so it took me three days, but I told Malik. Though now I wish I hadn't. I think he's afraid of me. And to top it all off Ryou's starting to think there's something wrong with me. He brought it up while we were walking to classes today...

*~*~*~*

"Bakura" Ryou said softly as he and Bakura turned the corner, they could see the class building in the distance. "Are you alright?"

"Huh?" Bakura was confused.

"I've noticed you spend a lot of time in the bathroom." Ryou bowed his head a little and his hair fell into his eyes. "Is there something wrong?"

Bakura looked at him; he had to think of something fast.

"I'm fine. I'm just..." what to say what to say... "Very hygienic"

Ryou looked at him.

"So is that how you keep you hair so white?" he joked "you wash it five million times a day."

"I guess you could say that" Bakura took hold of one of his room mates sliver locks, "but the question is, how do you keep yours so white?"

Ryou smiled.

"Old age"

~*~*~*~

Luckily Ryou is going over to Malik's, because in order to tell Marik with out The Rule finding out o have to tell him in the bathroom. Ryou might think it's pretty strange if both of us were in there. During lunch I told Marik I had something important I needed to tell him.

*~*~*~*

Bakura, Marik, and Seto were sitting by each other in the Class Mess Hall. Yugi and Joey were sitting a crossed from them. Bakura was helping Yugi. He was in the math class and Bakura excelled in math.

"...then you take the negative of the square root of one thousand one hundred and twenty and dived that by eight and you'll have your answer."

Bakura slid the notebook back to Yugi. He looked down at it; everyone else looked at Bakura dumbfounded.

"Raise your hand if you think that sounded like gibberish" Seto said. Then he, Marik and Joey raised there hands.

"well you guys think its gibberish, I finally understand it" Yugi said putting the notebook back in his bag. "Arigotou Bakura"

"no problem, I love math" Bakura said.

"it's a pity they put you in the science class" Joey said.

"yeah, you suck at science" Seto said

"Don't I know it" Marik sighed "it's like your brain rejects anything that has to do with science."

"I think it does" Bakura said just as the bell telling them it was time to go back to class rang. The five teens rose to there feet and quickly headed back to there classes. On the Bakura pulled Marik back behind everyone.

"You're coming over after classes, right?" Bakura asked.

"I was planning on it" Marik said "why?"

"I-I have something important to tell you"

"Oh" Marik raised an eyebrow and keep walking.

~*~*~*~

Oh gods that was hard itself. But the real challenge was yet to come. I had never done anything so hard, ever. Not even when we used to do those stupid corruptive games in Gym. You know those games where you have to cross the gym without touching the floor. Or carry a bottle of water on a plate attached to string.

It also scared the shit out of me. A million things were running though my mind. How would he react? What will he say? What if we're caught? Do I need a hair cut? Ok so the last one was irrelevant but I had about every question known to man swimming though my head at once. But still I had to do it. This was it.

*~*~*~*

Marik walked into Bakura's house. Bakura followed and closed the door behind him.

"Alright" Marik said turning to Bakura "what's so important you had to tell me here?"

Bakura glanced around nervously.

"Follow me"

Bakura lead Marik upstairs.

"Bakura, what's up?" Marik asked "you've been acting weird for the past couple days"

Bakura didn't answer. He just led Marik deeper into the house. He stopped out side the bathroom. He opened the door. Marik gave Bakura a weird look. Bakura just ignored it and dragged Marik into the bathroom closing the door swiftly behind them.

"Bakura what are-"Bakura placed a finger on Marik's lips and hushed him.

"The only reason we're here is because if The Rule ever heard what I say I'd be beheaded before you can even say guillotine" Bakura whispered moving away from the door a little more.

"Was that supposed to explain why we're in the god damned bathroom?" Marik whispered back.

"Not interlay" Bakura said "you see there are cameras and microphones everywhere"

"Yeah, so?"

"There aren't any in the bathroom" Bakura grinned.

"Really"

Bakura nodded.

"What did you want to tell me?"

Bakura opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. Bakura flushed a deep red and Marik raised and eyebrow. Bakura turned away.

"What is it?"

Bakura turned his head a little Marik could see half of his face. His cheeks were still a little pink.

"Aishiteru" Bakura whispered.

~*~*~*~

I didn't see Marik first reaction because I had closed my eyes. But when I finally opened my eyes he looked like a deer caught in the headlights of a car. You know the look that says 'holy shit what the hell is that!' he opened his mouth, as if to speak, but just closed it again and shook he's head.

Luckily at that moment Ryou opened the door. Marik and I both jumped. Marik quickly turned to Ryou and said he had to leave. So with a quick goodbye to Ryou and one more glance at me he was gone.

I sank to the floor and leaned against the side of the tub, fighting back tears. Ryou asked if I waned to be alone, I shook my head yes. So he left, closing the door. A silent tear fell down my cheek. Why did I have to tell him? I just fucked something else, like always. Marik will probably never want to talk to me again. He'll tell Seto and he'll desert me too. I'll become an out cast and no one will ever wan to be around me anymore.

Or maybe I'll get lucky and Marik will tell The Rule. Then The Rule will kill me. I would die, and no one would care.
