Chapter Five
Ryou stared at the Ring, horror on his face.
What the hell... he thought, nearly dropping it. He took it in his hands, and retreated into his house, slamming the door behind him. His father was gone for the weekend, so it was just Ryou. Alone. With Bakura. For today, a school day, and the rest of the weekend.
Joy.
Ryou flopped onto the floor, dropping the Ring onto the floor in front of him. He tapped it gently, then bit his lower lip, crossing his arms over his chest.
"God..." he murmured. "This... That... Was weird..." He leaned back and stared at it, as if his eyes could do anything to its golden surface.
"Damn you Ring," he muttered. Not that that actually did anything. Oh well.
There was a sudden knock on the door. Ryou turned to it, wondering who the hell could be up this early.
"Come in," he called, turning back to the Ring.
It's probably Yugi, or Joey or Tristan, Ryou thought.
"Ryou?" Samayo's pretty voice echoed throughout the empty house. Ryou turned, surprised.
"Oh... Samayo-chan, how nice to see you," he said, beckoning her forward. She closed the door behind her gently, her hands folded before her. She was wearing a long, white nightgown with a jacket over it. Her black, glossy hair was pulled into a ponytail, and her hazel eyes were big and frightened. Ryou stared at her until he realized that it was only about four in the morning.
"Uh, Ryou?" she asked, her voice small. "Can I speak with you?" Ryou turned full body to face her, watching her as she moved into the room. She sat down across from him on the floor.
"Yeah, sure, Samayo," Ryou said, smiling. I wonder why she's here… Samayo was fiddling with her hands, then looked up at Ryou.
"Something, something strange happened to me, and now I'm scared," she said in a voice barely above a whisper. Ryou looked at her with confused eyes. He moved closer to her, leaning his body forwards. Samayo leaned against the base of the long sofa she was against.
"Like what?"
"I had a dream," she said, a hint of terror in her voice. "I'm scared, Ryou. Really scared. It seemed so real… As if it were a movie I had seen, or something I've read in the past…" Ryou bit his lower lip and sighed.
"What did you dream about?" He asked. Samayo looked at her hands, avoiding his face. "Come on, Samayo…" Ryou was astounded at the calmness in his voice. Inside, he was terrified. But out here… Samayo's eyes closed and tears flared in them, threatening to fall down her cheeks. She wiped them quickly, embarrassed she let Ryou see her like this.
"I…" she said, looking up at him.
"What?"
"It was so horrible… I was locked up, and they were beating me and…. A-and I was fighting back and they…. T-they kept on g-going…." She sniffed. Ryou placed his hand on Samayo's shoulder as he shuffled over next to her.
"Samayo-chan," he said softly. "Why did you come all the way over here?" She looked up at him, her hazel eyes shining in the light of her tears.
"Because I think Thief Bakura was in it." Ryou gasped and moved away, staring at her with wide eyes.
"What? He was in your dream?" Ryou asked, terrorized. Samayo sniffed and nodded.
"Yes he was, and I was defending him, like some idiot…." She closed her eyes. "I'm scared now."
"This isn't the only reason you came over here at four o'clock in the morning, is it?" he asked softly. Where is all this confidence coming from?
Samayo shook her head. Her manner suddenly changed; she went from a scared, little girl to a strong-willed, sexy older one. She wiped her eyes and a gleam came into her eyes. She leaned herself against his chest, closing her eyes. Ryou blinked and stared down at her.
"Uhh, Samayo?"
"Ryou?" She reached into her pocket and pulled out a long, dark-colored string with a small, silver pendant attached.
"What is that?" Ryou asked, taking it in his hands. He had never seen it before.
"The 'Ring of Thieves' mark," Samayo answered, smiling to herself. Ryou looked at it, confused. He knew that Bakura's own, personal mark was two slashes crosswise and one vertical, like the scar on the right side of his face. But the 'Ring of Thieves'… He had never heard of it before.
"Oh," Ryou said, choosing not to question it. He wrapped his arms tightly around Samayo and leaned his head on top of hers, the right side of his face lost in her ruffles of dark hair.
"Ryou?"
"Yes?"
"Have you had dreams about him, too?" Ryou opened his eyes.
"Yes."
"Can you… tell me about them?"
Bakura lounged in his soul room, thinking up ways of escaping. He had tried many ways already, but no matter what he did, nothing worked.
"Dammit!" he cried, kicking a wall absently. The wall shook, but nothing happened. Bakura sighed and flopped onto the granite floor, watching the torches flicker. He shoved his hands in his pockets and closed his eyes, leaning his head against the wall. His white hair flopped onto his shoulders as his eyes remained closed.
"Oh gods… that damn Hasan, his friggen seal was so powerful…" he suddenly felt a strong surge of passion, mixed with lust race through his body, making him jump.
"What the—" it was Ryou's feelings. They crashed into him like waves against rocks. Bakura took a breath and stood.
"Oy! Ryou! What the hell are you doing out there?" When no answer came, he had a vague idea of just what was going on… He sighed and sat down again. "Well, as long as that doesn't happen again…" he stared up at the ceiling. He hated this feeling of uselessness, that he had no purpose as just to annoy Ryou. He knew there was a reason he was still hanging around, but he wasn't quite sure what it was. He knew that Samayo was there, out in the real world, with his hikari…
"Damn her," he whispered, venom and ice mixed into his voice. "Samayo…." He smiled a devilish smile to himself. "I know how I can teach you a lesson before you dare touch him." He chuckled to himself. He remembered Ju and Ki, her precious brothers. Suddenly…
A patch of wall that had previously been hidden in shadow gave light. Bakura looked up at it, first with a confused glance, then focused on it longer, seeing the ancient chant he so long ago learned.
It was the counter-curse to Hasan's seal… Known as 'thief's escape'.
Somewhere, faintly, in the back of his mind, Ryou could hear his alarm sounding somewhere upstairs. It was always set very loud, since it was in a room that was attached to his bedroom. He couldn't hear it through the door unless it was ear-killing loud. And he was hearing it right now.
"Mmmm…" he moaned, sighing. He didn't want to get up and go to school. He was very content with where he was….Wait. what was this weight he was feeling? He could feel a very heavy weight on his chest…
His eyes popped open. The partially lit room came into focus around him. He could see a lamp somewhere above his head, the light from another reflecting off it. He moaned and opened his eyes wide, taking a deep breath. The room focused completely, and he saw that he was still in his living room. He was sitting upright in an armchair, his cheek resting in Samayo's hair. She was leaning against him, her head on his chest, her hand on his shoulder, the sound of her breathing filling the silence. They were sitting on the arms of he chair as Ryou told her about his dreams….She has asked more questions then he felt comfortable with.
The next thing they knew, they were feeling drowsy… He quickly took a mental check of what they were doing. Good. They were both fully clothed, and he knew nothing had happened. They just, well, fell asleep. He tightened his grip on Samayo, the beeping ceased upstairs. It was six o'clock. Time to get up.
Ryou looked down at Samayo. She was sleeping so peacefully, he didn't want to wake her from her comfortable position. She was sitting half way in his lap. Her legs curled under her. Her hair had fallen over her face, and her skin was glowing with the light. She looks like an angel, Ryou thought, holding her gently. He sighed and shuffled a little, trying to stand up without waking her. He didn't want to move, though. He wanted for both of them to stay here, forever…
He still hadn't told her his secret, however. Somehow, she believed that he was having strange dreams because of the Sennen Ring, not because he was the reincarnation of its previous owner. That, and he lived inside his very soul, his memories doors in an endless maze that resembled a pillaged tomb.
She could find out later.
"Samayo-chan…" he whispered. He could feel a strange sense in his body, rushing through him with power. It was a feeling of a powerful passion for this girl, something that wasn't entirely his. He knew Bakura must have something to do with this powerful emotion….
Ryou had no idea why his front door was open, or why ambulances were coming up to the apartment across the street.
It didn't even dawn on him that he was wearing a jacket in his warm house.

Millenium yes, Atem is the Pharaoh's real name. Yugi and his friends discovered it in the manga…. I read the manga… WEEEEEEEE…. The translation to No More Words? Well…. You can look on but I don't think anyone's put it up yet…. I remember reading it in the subtitles at the end of the InuYasha movie, so the first two lines are this:
"Probably, probably, we
(Kitto, kitto, bokutachiwa)
Learn as we live"
(Ikiru, hodo ni, shitteyuku) and, if you like Pharaoh fics, you should read mah other fic "Only Breathe Once", which is about the Pharaoh's childhood. !
