Ryou hadn't seen Kiko for the entire day, but she'd called him and invited him over. Bakura resisted, and even acted childish when Ryou began pleading with him to go.

Kiko said Namira had begged her to un-invite them. Ryou and Kiko ate their dinner in silence as their Yami's remained retreated in their soul rooms.

"I think they knew each other." Ryou said, pointed out the obvious.

"My best guess is that they were both tomb robbers. They probably were big competition and worked against each other. That's why they hate eachother."

"Yeah, Bakura really doesn't like Namira."

"Same with her."

That night, Ryou laid sprawled out on the sleeping bag. He didn't realize he was thinking until Bakura put a stop to it.

/Cut it out! This friendship crap is really getting on my only nerve!/

//Sorry. But Bakura, haven't you ever, even once in your life, had a friend? Someone who made you feel like you were important in this world?//

/NO NOW SHUT THE HELL UP AND GO TO SLEEP ALREADY!!!/

Ryou closed their mental link so he could think without being heard.

'I wonder what's got poor Bakura so upset. My poor Yami. It must be something bad for him to react this way. But even if Bakura hasn't been able to adjust, I'm still glad I ran away.'

Ryou drifted off to sleep with those thoughts in his mind. He awoke with a sharp pain in his side. Bakura kicked him again, this time in the stomach.

"What in the hell does it take to wake you up?!"

Ryou blocked the third kick with his hands, but ended up with a throbbing wrist.

"I'm up! I'm awake! You can stop!"

"Who said I was doing this just to wake you up?"

he kicked him yet again, a smirk on his face. Ryou endured five more kicks before Bakura pulled him up by his hair.

"Breakfast. Now."

"What do you want?"

"Steak. Rare steak."

"For breakfast?!"

"RARE STEAK NOW!"

"alright, alright."

Ryou tried to stand up to his Yami but he never seemed to get the courage. Honestly, his Yami frightened him most of the time.

He cooked bakura's steak from raw to rare and served it to him.

"You better not have overcooked it" was all Bakura could say to him.

'Maybe living here won't be so different' Ryou sighed.
