Ryou stared up at the ceiling. He then looked from wall to wall.

"What do you think? Light blue?"

"Blood red." Replied a materialized Yami to his Hikari.

Ryou just sighed. 'no sense in arguing. He'll win anyway, plus he'll beat me for disputing him.' Ryou thought before replying. "Alright then, blood red it is. I'll go shopping later.

"No no no. Not blood red paint. Blood red blood! Kill the innocent and smear their blood on the walls!"

"Bakura, please!"

"Whatever. Just buy me food. Can you remember that, worthless re- incarnation?"

"Let's see? Food. Either I remember or starve. I kinda notice when I'm hungry. See a pattern?"

"Hey! Watch how you speak to me you ignorant fool!" Bakura grabbed Ryou's hair and flung him into the wall. "You understand me?"

"Y-Yes Bakura!" Ryou replied, tears welling up in his eyes.

"That's what I thought. Now, go the store, buy blood red paint, food, and a sleeping bag. I want to stay materialized, but I refuse to sleep in that bed with you."

"You don't have to sleep on the floor!"

"Me?! The sleeping bag'll be for you!"

"I'll go now." Ryou sighed as he walked into Kiko's.

When he knocked on the door, she opened it excitedly.

"Hey Ryou! I just got back from work! Got a nice paycheck today! Here, have some!"

He was more than surprised to see five hundred dollars in his own hand.

"It's not much. . .will it work?"

"Where do you work?! This is incredible! All this money!"

"maybe I can take you to work sometime. Get you a job."

"Okay then! Well, Bakura will be angry with me if I don't get to the store and back soon. Bye!"

They said their good-byes and he headed off to the store, his materialized Yami still in the apartment room.

'I hope I can have this life forever. . .' Ryou thought as he entered the store.
