Chapter ~4~
Bakura crossed his arms and glared at Marik. "I thought you said she was coming."
Marik lifted his shades down, "She is. She said so." He said in a hesitant voice.
"Well I'm getting tired of waiting. Can't we at least torture one person? Please?" Malik whined, Marik growled. Bakura rolled his eyes, "Whatever. Go. Do as you please."
"Really? Okay!" Malik said then ran to an old lady wearing a huge fur coat who was talking to some old man. He got his lighter and then slowly lit the coat on fire with the lady in it. It burst into flames immediately, Malik scoffed. "So, it was fake!" He sat there lost in thoughts, although even he didn't even know what he was thinking. He looked ahead and saw Amane. "Hey!!! Amane!" He jumped to his feet and ran to her, dodging people and was the first to get to her. No one knew for sure why he always got excited when he saw her but heck, it got him out of Bakura and Marik's hair, right? "Hey Amane, what's wrong?"
"Huh? Why would something bother me?"
"I dunno..." Malik said, getting lost in thought again. Bakura shoved him to the side. "About time princess showed. We already started without you."
"Oh- eh... I was wondering.... can I catch a ride with any of you? I know I just arrived and all, but I would really like to go home." Amane said, Marik shrugged.
"Me and Malik came on my motorcycle, room only for two." Marik said, Malik pouted.
"It's my bike!" Marik kicked him on the knee, Malik huffed and leaned back on the wall. Mai continued filing her nails. "Well, let's get going." Bakura said, they all started to walk off. Amane stopped. Great, now she had to go and take the subway again! Joy. Great, just greeeeat. Bakura turned around, "Amane! What do you think you are doing!? Come on!" She nodded and ran towards him, he opened the door to his black sports car. Mai also got in. She must have gotten a ride with Bakura or something. Amane sat in the passenger seat while Mai got in the back seat rocking back and forth. Something was up with her. Her eyes were red and she looked really sick, not to mention there was blood drawing from her wrist.
She looked at Mai, "Hey- are you okay?"
Mai sat up, "Huh? Oh- yeah hun, don't worry about me. Just letting the medicine sink in." She said and continued rocking back and forth. Soon later Bakura pulled up into a driveway. Mai's house. She got out and grabbed her jacket. "See you later huns." She entered her house and Bakura drove away. Now it was just Bakura and Amane in the car.
"Bakura? Is Mai sick or something?"
"No... she's her usual self."
"You mean she's always like that?"
"Yea. Where do you live?" He asked, Amane told him. Later they arrived at the Bakura residence. Amane unbuckled the seat belt and started to get out when an idea popped into her mind. "Hey Bakura, do you have any plans for the rest of the day?" Bakura nodded a no. Amane smiled, "Come with me, I want you to meet my brother. He looks just like you," He looked at her, she waited for a reply.
"Why?"
Amane gave him the puppy dog eyes, "Please?" she begged, finally Bakura got tired of it and growled. "Fine. Whatever." He said and got out of the car. Amane unlocked the door and stepped inside, Bakura following her. She walked to the caller id/message machine. No messages. She threw her keys down on the coffee table and put her jacket on a chair.
Amane frowned, "I guess Ryou's not here right now. We can wait for him if you'd like."
"Whatever." Bakura muttered, still standing next to the door. Amane ran to him and started pushing him more forward into the house. "Can I get you anything? Are you hungry? Thirsty?" Bakura still stood there. Jeeze, Amane couldn't believe how much of a quiet person Bakura could be. "Please, sit down." She pulled a chair out for Bakura in the kitchen, he sat down while Amane looked through the fridge. She pulled out a coke and handed one to Bakura then grabbed one herself. "Why was Mai acting that way?"
"I told you, it's the way she is."
"She couldn't possibly be like that on her own."
"She takes drugs." Bakura mumbled out, Amane froze. Did he just say 'drugs'? If she were ever caught taking one of those her ass would be in big trouble. "We all do." Bakura said, sounding off. Amane couldn't tell if the tone he was using was showing that he was ashamed or embarrassed.
Amane looked into his eyes, "Why?"
"It get's rid of our everyday problems. It makes us feel like we can accomplish anything. It feels... like you're flying. Like you can do anything. You already got the potential, taking a certain one can give you the inspiration. It makes you feel more determined, like a whole new person. It makes you fit in, most people here you'll find smoking or injecting themselves with some liquid."
"What kind do you take?"
"Well, they aren't...bad. At least it depends on how many you take. I take them dieting and anti-depression. Parents know about the anti's, they don't know about the dieting ones though." Amane stared down at the table. "I would've never thought -or known- you would be taking dieting pills."
Bakura smiled, "Yea, I guess. But in order to keep this body I have to retain myself from food."
"Do you really care about you're looks that much?"
"Do you?" Amane stopped to think. She wasn't totally happy with her appearance. She didn't like her eyes, her hair, or her waist. Even though she was thin, she never thought of herself as thin. She thought of herself as fat. She didn't want to be fat. She didn't want to be thin. She wanted to be skinny. As if Bakura could sense or hear her thoughts, he handed her a small handheld bottle. She took it and began reading the label and directions.
Amane gulped, it wasn't like she was doing anything wrong, it was just going on a diet and taking medicine to help her get to the size she desired. "They can't kill you, can they?" Bakura nodded his head, Amane sighed in relief then took out a pill. She glanced at it then swallowed it down with her coke. Just then, Ryou walked in. He put his keys down on the table.
"Hey Amane, what was that?"
Amane quickly hid the bottle and wiped her mouth, "Oh- nothing. Had a headache and took Tylenol. No need to worry big bro. Hey, com'mere! I want you to meet someone. Ryou, meet Bakura. This is one of my friends, he's in you're grade level and everything. Bakura, this is Ryou, he's the kid you'll see in the bathrooms hiding." Ryou kicked her leg, she growled, he looked at Bakura.
'Holy crap!' "Hey," He said. That was cool for a first line, right? Bakura stared at him, "Hey back."
Long awkward silence......
"Ok. I can't take the long awkward silence anymore. Someone say something!" Amane pouted, Bakura cleared his throat.
"You seem familiar, have we met before?"
"Maybe in a mirror-" Ryou stopped himself. Crap. What the hell did he just say? Oh, great, now Bakura probably thought he was a nerd or some kind of freak. Why did he have no social life? Even the gods above him didn't know. He must have skipped off to the brain section at the time they were handing out the social skills. To his surprise, Bakura laughed. "Well, maybe. But- don't I have you in one of my classes?"
Ryou thought back, "Yeah! That's right! In math class."
Bakura frowned, "That's weird. I haven't seen you in there. I mean, I know you're there because I see you come in, but I don't see you in the room." Ryou turned red, "Yeah, I sit in the way back in the darkest corner where no one know I am or even if I exist. I'm surprised you even noticed me."
"Well, it's kind of hard not to notice someone who's an exact image of you."
Ryou scratched his head, "Yeah, I would guess so."
Amane smiled, happy that he and Bakura were getting along. She new they would. For one, they looked like each other. And, she remembered that Ryou had asked about him. He wanted to know who this 'Bakura was, and now he finally got the chance to meet him. They seemed to be getting along quite well despite the odds that Bakura and Ryou are total opposites. "I'll see you later Bakura, I'm tired from today so I'm going to go pass out, I'm not feeling good all of a sudden. If you want you can stay a while, I'm sure Ryou will keep you entertained or something. Ja for now!" She said, running up the stairs.
Ryou faced Bakura, Bakura stared at him. Ryou sweatdropped. "Uh...eh-heh- heh-......Yahtzee?"
