Jade: Lalalalala, time to update. **Pokes chapter 3** I can't believe I
wrote that. And jeez people, ya'll don't need to yell at me, it won't make
me update any faster. I really am sorry about the long wait, but I've been
soooo busy, plus I had writers block for this so. . . yea. ^^;; But
anyways, here's chapter four! ^^
Jhara had been at Yami's Palace for nearly a month. She and Bakura were working on maintaining a friendship with Yugi, while Ryou already had. Bakura forbade Ryou to get too close to anyone, but Ryou felt somehow drawn to Yugi. Like they were meant to be friends. They usually went for walks in the gardens while Jhara and Bakura were with Yami trying to help him in any way possible.
Yami was talking to Jhara about her life in India. He told her he might be forced to go to war with India because of some poisoned meat that had reached the castle. He personally thought it was stupid, but his people were getting angrier and angrier because of so many small things that were happening he wouldn't be able to control them for much longer. Jhara agreed with the people. "I am appalled at what they are doing. I am truly sorry for this, Yami." Yami nodded. "It is quite alright Jhara. You are not to blame for their actions. Plus, you are no longer their royalty, so you could not control them anyway." Jhara got an interesting look on her face after he said this. "Please forgive me if I was rude." He said. Jhara looked surprised. "Y-you're apologizing?" She stuttered. Yami nodded then shrugged. "It is simple manners." He said simply.
Ryou and Yugi were sitting on a bench in the garden, talking. Ryou prayed Bakura would not catch him, or he would get into trouble. "Ryou?" Yuugi said, breaking Ryou out of his reverie. Ryou's head snapped up. "Sorry Yugi, my mind was wondering. ^-^;;" Yugi simply smiled sweetly and nodded. "The weather is so beautiful this year." Ryou said, leaning back and looking up at the sky. "Do you remember when it was cold last year? Then it warmed up so quickly. That was strange, don't you think?" Ryou asked. Yugi smiled and nodded. "Yes. It was."
Bakura and Jhara took their leave of Yami and came across Ryou and Yugi laughing and talking. Bakura's eyes narrowed. "I told him not to get to close to that boy!" He said, cursing. Jhara hushed him. "Please, Bakura, keep your voice down." Bakura's hands were fists at his sides and he watched Ryou and Yugi talking. Finally, he turned and stormed off. Jhara shook her head and frowned.
"Hello Ryou. Yugi." Jhara said, walking to them and smiling. Ryou's eyes widened, but he smiled nervously. "Good afternoon, Jhara." He said. Yugi smiled brightly up at her. Ryou turned to Yugi. "Well, Yugi, I must go now. It was nice talking to you." Ryou said, walking towards the castle. Yugi smiled and waved, and Jhara followed after Ryou.
"Ryou, you know I hate punishing you." Bakura said, his back to Ryou. They were standing in their room. "Then don't." Ryou pleaded. Bakura turned, a small dagger in his hand. "You know I have to. I told you not to get close to anyone, especially Yugi." Ryou backed up against the door and Bakura advanced. "Please Ryou, I just want to get this over with." Ryou held out his arm and looked away as Bakura slashed into his skin.
~**** Ryou's POV ****~
Bakura's not really as bad as he seems. Not usually. Marik was his best friend. He just wants revenge. But, Marik probably deserved what he got. Bakura doesn't like to punish me. I know I am going against him, but I have to try and save him before his fate becomes the same as Marik's.
I really do love Bakura. And I know he feels the same about me. I think Jhara is keeping him under a spell. We grew up together, and when we were younger he was much warmer. Maybe it is time that has changed him and not a spell. Maybe it is the simple fact that he is blinded by revenge for his friend. I can see why Jhara wants revenge. As far as I know, she truly loved Marik. I'm not sure if the feelings were mutual. If someone killed Bakura, I would want them dead. I can't imagine him gone, for any reason. I suppose that is why Jhara is so bent on defeating Yami.
I do not want to be a part of it. But if I'm not, I will lose Bakura forever. . .
Well, it's short, but it's a chapter. So BE NICE in your reviews or I will wait another year to update. ((-- shameless blackmail, lol)
