So, like I said, last chapter sucked. This one I hope will come out better.
When I do this, I just do what comes out of my head because I flat-out
refuse to write this. So when there's repetitive or stupid stuff, that's
when I got into my music or when I daydreamed. Now that we've got that
established, let's get on with this chapter!
Chapter 5: Relapse
Ryou's POV
Sakura loves it when I clean the house. I get dressed in this apron and tie my hair up, so I kind of look like her. One time, she even took pictures of me curtseying in my cleaning clothes. We showed those to Malik and Ayari. Boy, did they have a laugh.
So, when I was done cleaning, Sakura and I played around with my Ouija board. It was kinda fun on account of the fact that Yami always spelled out stuff. He was a spirit after all. He didn't have to make himself visible to us.
"So, Baku onii-chan, do you think there's life beyond this dimension?" Sakura asked coyly. The pointer which we had our hands on moved.
YES.
The pointer now began to move on its own again.
I-W-I-L-L-K-I-L-L-Y-O-U-B-O-T-H.
I smiled knowingly.
"Nice try, Yami. I know you're trying to cheer me up because you were a jerk."
My yami appeared out of thin air and looked at me with what seemed to be a bit of pity.
"Look. I said look, stupid!"
He snatched my shoulder and whirled me to face him, then he himself turned away with his lopsided frown, eyes looking up.
"Whatever happened might have been my fault. I didn't mean for you to end up in the condition where you were in."
I picked my ear with my index finger.
"Did I just hear right, or did you not say sorry to me?"
"Did you hear me say sorry? I didn't think so. I didn't say sorry!" Yami Bakura snapped harshly. What could I do, but smile? Then again, that made him slap me on my sore jaw. The only thing I could then do was yell in agony as my jaw exploded in pain.
"Owww!!!! Oww ow!!"
Sakura punched him so hard that he spun in a 360 degree circle and landed on his head. Even if he had a thing for self-mutilation and pain, that didn't mean he couldn't be rendered unconscious. I closed my eyes in my pain, then his pain joined me.
"Sorry, Baku-kun. I couldn't let him do that to you."
Sakura hugged me tight.
"If he punishes you while I'm at Ayari's house tonight, just give me a call. I'll set his yami-fied butt straight.
"Okay, Sakura-chan. Have a good time. Don't beat Malik up and make sure Ayari doesn't beat him up too bad."
"...so that means I can beat Malik down and let Ayari beat him up a little?"
"You got it."
Sakura and I made that a bit of a ritual, to lay down rules like that.

A FEW HOURS LATER...
I wasn't feeling too good. I'd taken my medication and I'd eaten some, but for some reason, it felt so wrong. Once again, I found myself feeling very, very self-conscious.
I walked into the bathroom, Millennium Ring tucked under the pillow in my room. Very nervously, I removed my shoes and socks before stepping lightly onto the bathroom scale.
116 pounds.
Hey, not bad. I was still overweight for myself, but I had cut it down by 4 pounds. And as long as I didn't get dehydrated this time, I think I could actually lessen my weight harm-free...
Wait! What was I saying?! Am I nuts?
No. Just desperate.
I strode to the toilet, leaned over, and held out my index finger...
Yami Bakura's POV
Something felt very foreboding.
I had long since woken up from that hit to my head. I felt like killing Sakura, Ra damn it.
And yet I can't. Even I cannot fathom what prevents me from doing it.
But more to the point, I had lost my connection with Ryou's mind. I could always connect to him through mind-link (as well as Sakura) whenever he wore the Millennium Ring. But he'd taken the damn thing off again. That's when I began to worry. That's when I remembered something that Sakura had told me about one time.
"...once, when I was thirteen, I was diagnosed with a small case of anorexia, Yami Bakura."
"And why are you telling me this?"
"I dunno. I just wanted to tell someone. Do you want to hear the rest?"
"Go on..."
And she had gone on to say that she had forced her body to expel it's last meal, via the mouth. In other words, she forced herself to vomit. It had only happened once, according to her, because the doctor had caught the disease in time. But she and Bakura were twins, could he contract that horrible disease? Even I didn't know. All I knew was that I would find out.
I made a false body and headed for the bathroom.

An evil cliffhanger!! I will update soon. Promise. Oh, and if you see me slip up on the Malik/Marik thing, I'm sorry. I use both versions of his name. If you like, review. If you sorta like, review anyway. Please don't flame.
