Ryou had lived there for nearly a month, and he wanted a job now. Kiko had invited him to her apartment. He would be going to work with her in one week. He was more than grateful that she'd put in a good word for him with her boss. The day he'd asked her if there were any job openings, she came home from work and said that he could work with her. Before, he'd lived in loneliness, pain, and now he had a best friend. No. . .he thought of her as more than a friend, but as a-

/Don't waste your time on such petty human feelings./

//But Bakura, I-//

/NO! There is no way you are going to have some wench as a girlfriend/

//But Bakura-//

/and another thing. . .YOU'RE NOT IN LOVE, CUT IT OUT!!!/

//But Bakura, she's the only one who understands me!//

/And?/

//Nevermind.//

/Okay then. Is Namira going to be there?/

//Yes, why?//

/I'm not going./

//Why do you hate her so much?//

/Well, she was also a Tomb Robber. . .a good one at that. Competition, you know./

//Oh. . .that's sort of what me and Kiko thought, we just weren't sure.//

Ryou just loved conversations with Bakura about Namira. He loved seeing his Yami. . .pout? he was more mellow.

Later that evening, both Ryou and the materialized Bakura walked to Kiko's. it was Namira who opened the door, also materialized.

"Oh. . .humans. . .well, human and wimpy spirit. So. . .um. . .nice? to see you. . ."

"BE NICE NAMI!" Kiko yelled from some part of the house.

"Whatever. . .AND DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, BITCH!. . .you guys can come in, I guess."

Bakura just moaned as he followed Ryou in. Ryou eagerly helped prepare dinner, leaving the two Yami's alone in the living-room quarters.

"So, did you hear about that bank that was robbed earlier?" Ryou asked.

"Uh, yeah."

"I wonder if they ever caught the guy?"

"Yeah. . .why does everyone just assume that it's always a man? I mean, I realize it's usually some guy, but. . .ah, sorry, things like that always pop into my head."

"Er. . .if you want, you can start a topic. . .I'm all topic-ed out!"

she giggled at his remark.

"Well, I was thinking. Since you and me get along so well and all. . ." she paused "do you think maybe we could like. . ." she paused again, choosing her words carefully "Do you wanna be my boyfriend?"

"I. . .um"

He'd practiced his lines so many times, prepared for every reaction. But it was his lines, her reactions he'd practiced when he rehearsed asking her out. Luckily for him, the sound of glass breaking and a loud thump was heard from the living room.

"IGNORANT AMATURE!" Bakura yelled as she shoved Namira onto the couch.

"Jealous, baka?" she asked in recoil.

"Pathetic girl! How dare you treat me with such disrespect!"

"And you! You act as though you have feelings for the Pharaoh, always talking about him!"

"The way you talk about that. . .dead. . .woman?!"

"How dare you speak of the Millennium Keeper in such a manner!"

"SHUT UP!" both Kiko and Ryou yelled.

They froze as both angered Yamis turned to glare knives at their Hikaris.

"I. . .er. . .we just. . ." Ryou tried to defend himself.

"Just please stop." Kiko choked out the words.

"Take me home NOW!" Bakura screamed at Ryou.

Just as they walked out, Namira spoke up.

"You still act the same Bakura. You think you're better than everyone else. Always trying to force your will onto everyone else. You're just as childish as you were when we were lovers." She angrily retreated to her soulroom.

Both confused and flustered, Ryou and Kiko stood in silence.

"WALK NOW!" Bakura yelled once more.

Peggi-So, are you gonna kill Kiko and Namira? Please wait until the story ends to slaughter them, I need them 'till then but after that they are useless to me.

Kaiba-Makes me worry about what you're planning for me and Yami when you decide we're not even fun to humiliate and torment. . .

Peggi-Humiliate? Oh. . .right. . .you can take the tutu off and put on your normal clothes now, Yami.

Yami-*evil glare*
