Chapter 2 Ryou's alarm clock went off at 6:00 a.m., the regular time; only Ryou heard it because Ryku was wearing earplugs. He realized there was bagpipe music coming from somewhere most likely from Nurko's room.
Ryou turned off his alarm and quickly got into his school uniform (blue pants, white polo, and a striped blue and white tie). He got all his schoolbooks into his bag. He also gathered his sister's school things into her own bag. He even set Ryku's uniform (knee length pleated skirt, white polo, and a striped blue and white tie) out for her.
Next he went downstairs to the kitchen. Ryou grabbed some money from his dad's secret stash. It was actually money for his and Ryku's lunch but if Ryku found it, well she would have even more weapons than she does now.
Suddenly the bagpipe music ceased and a loud thump sounded through the house. "You little punk!" he heard Nurko yell.
"Here we go." Ryou muttered. He quickly tucked the money back in its safe spot. Next Ryou grabbed his coat and his sister's coat. He opened the front door and then went back into a closet where he got his bike and Ryku's skateboard out. Ryou got on his bike and turned to see Ryku slide down the railing of the stairs cackling.
She grabbed her coat from Ryou and tossed him his bag. Then Ryku grabbed the back of the bike seat and stood on her skateboard. "Pedal to the metal, bro." Ryku yelled just as Nurko started down the stairs, "Can't talk now gonna be late for school." Ryku blew Nurko a kiss before she slammed the door. Ryou pedaled as hard as he could. Ryku laughed evilly as Nurko reopened the door.
"You're one dead punk. I hope you know that!" he yelled. Ryku only laughed again and gave him the finger before Ryou rounded the corner.
* * * At school * * *
"Hi Ryou! Hi Ryku!" a tall skinny blond boy called. "Hey Joey, what's up?" Ryku called back and then playfully punched Joey in the shoulder when he caught up with them. They walked to their lockers and just stopped while they talked.
Another boy who was tall with brown hair that formed a spike in front passed by Ryou and then tackled Ryku and Joey with a yell of "Die Clowns!"
"Death to Spikey!" was Ryku's reply as she, with Joey's help, wrestled Tristan to the floor. Ryou simply shook his head smiling and finished getting his books from his locker.
"Oh look how the doggies play." A harsh voice said. Joey immediately stood up and glared at the speaker. Ryku simply crawled on all fours to the speaker, "Don't make me bite you in the ass again millionaire boy you know I'll do it." she told him. Tristan stood and picked up Ryku, "Yea Seto lay off."
Seto sneered and then proceeded to tell Ryou, "I don't know how you can stand hanging around these idiots. They make fools look bad." Ryku pushed Joey and Tristan back as she stepped close to Seto.
"Now that's not very nice," she whispered, "what would Mokuba say if he heard you say that."
Seto visibly paled, "Sorry." he muttered before walking into the classroom. Seto grimaced and thought about the promise he made to his brother three days prior. ["Please Seto." Mokuba said making sad eyes puppy dogface. "Mokuba no!" Seto said crossing his arms. Mokuba continued to plead, "She's like my big sister. I hate when you two fight." Seto spun around and looked at the picture of his little brother that he always wore. "Please," Mokuba begged hugging Seto from behind, "with a blue eyes white dragon on top!" Seto sighed and faced his brother in defeat. "Ok. I promise that I will be nice to Ryku."]
"Children do you mind? Get to class!" Mrs. Evans yelled at the people milling around. Everyone went to class with much eye rolling. Ryou took his seat next to Seto; across from him was Ryku who was sitting with a short boy named Yugi.
Mrs. Evans started the day with math. She always started with something new each day. Mrs. Evans taught all the subjects for this class. She was reviewing for a math test that the class would take tomorrow.
Ryou sat straight and was making sure he had all the notes she was giving. A strange feeling came over Ryou, he tried to write down something and found he could no move. He could not speak, could not even blink all he could do was breathe.
* * * Inside the Ring * * *
Bakura was in the exact middle if the ring or his prison, as he liked to call it. The room was pure white. He was mediating with a purpose. He clinched his teeth together as Ryou began to fight his hold on him.
Bakura heard Ryou cry out, "Help! Let me go!" from Ryou's soul room. Bakura only smiled, glad that he had thought to put a lock on Ryou's door. Bakura tried to move Ryou's body without any success. Ryou continuous yelling was disrupting his concentration. "Damn it." Bakura swore.
In that moment Ryou was able to twitch his fingers of his own free will. Bakura sensed this and also realized that someone was shaking Ryou. Bakura swore again, "Shit now I have to think about this," he stood up "I hate contemplating things. Thanks a lot Ryou!" with that Bakura left the room and let go of his wavering hold on Ryou.
* * * Back in the Classroom * * *
"Ryou." Seto shook Ryou again trying to gain his attention. Everyone was looking at Ryou now. Mrs. Evans asked him a question and he did not even respond. He said nothing as she issued a detention to him.
Suddenly Ryou jumped out of his chair and ended up sprawled over the floor. Everyone laughed except for Seto, Ryku, Yugi, and Ryou but that stopped when Ryku gave them all her evil glare. Ryou put his hand up so that Ryku could grab it. "Are you alright?" she asked pulling him up.
"Yea, I guess so. I must have been dreaming or something. Sorry." The last sentence was directed at Mrs. Evans. She looked annoyed and turned back to the board with a, "If I may continue."
As Ryou sat back down Seto asked, "Are you okay?" Ryou smiled and began writing down the practice problems, "I'm fine Seto."
