Fenrir: So, Joey walks in at the wrong moment. What a git!
Joey: Hey! I'm right here! ."
Fenrir: Oh, I didn't see ya… ¬.¬
Joey: Hmm… Just get on with da chptr.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joey just stood there. He couldn't believe what he just saw. Did Bakura just send that teacher to the Shadow Realm?
"Bakura…" he began nervously, and stepped forward, "What just happened?" He advanced a bit more, hoping to get a reply,
"Don't take another step!" cried Ryou, "Unless you want to join her!" He pointed at Miss Henderson. Joey stopped dead in his tracks. This wasn't the Bakura they all knew. He would never do that.
"You're not Bakura! Who are you?" he confronted seriously, starting to feel a bit scared.
"That is not important. All that matters is that you are disposed of!!" Ryou replied, taking his Millennium Ring in his hands once more. A bead of sweat ran the course of Joey's face and dripped onto the floor. He backed away, towards the door.
"You're not Bakura! You're the spirit from the ring!" Joey exclaimed, anger in his voice.
"Oh, Bakura's still here," Ryou said, "But as I say, that's not important…" but he didn't get a chance to answer, for Joey dashed out the door and started running down the corridors. Ryou immediately took chase. The two of them ran down what seemed like an eternity of corridors, taking turns here and there. Ryou was firing blasts of energy from his ring, which crashed into the walls, creating huge holes. Joey had to duck and twist and jump, just to avoid the blasts from sending him to the Shadow Realm. One rushed past his ear. He could feel the heat, as if it was on fire.
Eventually, Joey turned into a random classroom. He glanced at some tubes and bottles full of alien liquids, and realized he was in a science laboratory. He quickly slammed the door and put a chair up against the door handle. He hoped this would keep Bakura, or whoever he was, out for a while. He then waited for a bit.
"Maybe he gave up?" Joey thought, hoping it was true. But then a great force collided with the door from the other side. Joey jumped and ran over to the window. He thought of escaping through it, but once he opened it, and felt the force of the wind, he looked down and remembered they were on the third floor. He could kill himself if he jumped. The banging from the door grew louder and louder. He then decided to hide. He dashed behind the main desk at the front and crouched down. After some more banging, the door burst open, and Ryou entered.
"Where are you, pitiful mortal?" Ryou asked angrily, the blood boiling in his blood. He didn't expect an answer. Joey was breathing quite heavily now and he had to hold his breath so as to not give himself away.
"I know you're here…" Ryou called,
"You can't hide forever…"
"I will find you…"
"Where are you…?" He repeated these phrases over and over again. Joey was really frightened now. He couldn't hold his breath for much longer. Ryou was now starting to walk towards the front desk. What was he going to do? Ryou walked right up to the desk, and was about to spot Joey, when a book fell off a shelf. Ryou immediately stopped and spun round 180°. Joey thanked that the janitor hadn't fixed that broken shelf. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. That was a mistake. Ryou turned round once more,
"Aha!" he exclaimed and kicked over the desk. It was about to topple over onto Joey, but he scrambled out of the way just in time for it to miss him. He rushed up and saw Ryou standing right in front of him, face to face.
"You can't escape now…" Ryou said menacingly. Joey clenched his fist and rammed it into the spirit's stomach. He gasped for air and keeled over. Joey took this opportunity to run. He was about to reach the doorway when a blast of energy rushed past him and slammed into the wall. It crumbled away, part of it hitting Joey on the head. He stumbled backwards and tripped over a chair. His body hit the floor with such force that he thought he had broken every bone in his body.
"Now I… have you…" said Ryou, taking gasps of air in between his words. He advanced on Joey, an evil look spreading across his face. He was now standing right over Joey, his body casting a shadow against the frightened Joey.
"What the hell happened here?" came a voice from the hole that had appeared in the wall. Joey sighed again to see Malik's face.
"Malik…" Ryou whispered, now turning his focus onto Malik. He had just forgotten about Joey. He was only interested in Malik. Joey was confused.
"What just happened, Bakura?" Malik asked again,
"Hehehe…" Ryou laughed, now standing next to Malik.
"Ryou… Is that you?" Malik questioned, turning his head so he could see him properly.
"My my, aren't we clever?" Ryou asked rhetorically, "It's a shame you won't be able to stay in this world, isn't it?" and with that he touched his ring and sent a blast straight towards Malik's heart. But Malik was ready. He pulled out his Rod and sent an equal force towards Ryou. The two blasts collided and created a huge explosion. Bottles smashed everywhere. Bits of animals splattered all over the floor. Acid flew everywhere. Malik rushed out the door and Joey crawled under a desk. But Ryou wasn't so lucky. The acid spurted into his eyes. It burned. He screamed in agony, a sound that people could hear miles away. He covered his eyes with his hands and moved around wildly, bumping into desks and chairs. He was very close to the window, which ran from ceiling to floor. Joey couldn't watch what happened next. Ryou came into contact with the window. It smashed and Ryou tumbled down three floors. Joey heard a crash come from below and he slowly got up and walked towards the now broken window.
As he glanced down, he was almost sick. Ryou was lying there, his bones twisted this way and that. The glass had cut him and blood was slowing leaking from his head. A crowd was starting to form around the body, which Joey could only guess was now a corpse.
