CHAPTER 4~And then it gets Harder
Ryou sat to the side as the group played a game of '20 Questions'. It usually worked best when they played guys vs. girls, and there was an un- even number.
'Why do I bother? I mean, I'm not really a friend, just a tag-along. They only tolerate me because no one else will.'
/That's right, Ryou. They only tolerate you. You should kill them. . .I'll help, but only if I get the pharaoh. . .well, maybe you can have him. . .just let me kill his Hikari first./
//I don't want to kill anyone, Bakura.//
/You're no fun. Can I kill them then?/
//NO!//
/Did you just raise your voice to me?/
//Erm. . .no. . .//
Bakura opened a drawer and pulled out a diary.
//Hey! Put it back! That's Yugi's!//
/I know. When I'm materialized I need it. Look at this./
Bakura opened it and read it.
/'Dear diary, me and the gang have to hang out here now. We were going to go the arcade but Ryou and Bakura will be there. Ryou's OKAY, I guess, but that Yami of his. . .it's just not worth it. HE'S not worth it.' Are you paying attention, Hikari?/
He didn't wait for a reply.
/ 'today is my birthday and I'm going to invite all of my friends. I'm inviting tea, joey, Tristan, and maybe the Kaiba brothers.' Note that they even were going to invite seto and yet you weren't mentioned. . .he knew you already. That was from his last party, Ryou. Do you get the message? You're not wanted. You're only trouble for them. They don't like you. Do you get it now?/
//Y. . .yes. . .//
Ryou held back tears, and suddenly, Bakura completely gave control over. Yugi grabbed the diary.
"You read my diary!" Yugi yelled
"No Yugi it was Bakura!" Ryou tried to explain.
"Bakura, huh? Then why isn't he here now? Why did he just suddenly disappear?"
"Probably because he saw you coming and he wanted to get me into trouble. But you should have told me."
"Told you what?" Yugi asked, calming down.
"That I was so much of an inconvenience. If I'd known I wouldn't have made you put up with me."
As Ryou got up to leave, Yugi felt guilty.
"Ryou. . .I'm sorry. . ."
"No. I'm sorry."
And with that last line, Ryou walked out of the room. And away from his former 'friends'.

Peggi-Well, I only got one review, so I need two more new ones to get outta jail.
Bakura-But. . .
Peggi-CAN IT NOW OR ELSE YOU WILL DIE!!!
All-*say nothing*
Peggi-Ahem. . .so, sakuuya, are you happy the word 'Hardest' wasn't in the chappie title?
Kaiba-. . .But you said Harder. She should just kill you and make my life so much easier.
Peggi-Be nice. I can kick you out of here if you're not nice to me.
Kaiba-But it's raining outside! And Kaiba corp. is far away and. . .
Peggi-So?
Tea-While they argue I'll say goodbye. . .SHE NEEDS 2 MORE REVIEWS TO GET OUTA JAIL AND BYE!
