Hey, when I put the last chapter up, I made a mistake. I meant potassium
chloride. I hate it when I get my chemicals mixed up! But, then again, I'm
just a freshman in h.s., can ya blame me? If so, oh well. Anyway, here's
the story. And yes, it will be Yami Bakura dictated for awhile. Ryou's
passed out half the time, and I hate 3rd person omniscient at this point of
the story unless I need it.
Chapter 15: Lunch at Burger World
Yami Bakura's POV
I daren't show Sakura the papers, lest she hound me about my answers. Let her find out on her own time. I gave them to the doctor and thanked Ra he didn't glance at them.
"Okay, Sarah. Go with Bakura for a while."
"Okies!!"
The little rat trounced up to me and looked all cute. It didn't take but half a minute for me to disable the camera to our room.
"'Bout time," Ka Saraha told me after the coast was clear. I rolled my eyes.
"Shut up, woman!"
"Is that any way to treat your wife?" Sarah-Ka Saraha said.
"What would I know about it?" I said sullenly.
"You'd know plenty. You were a good husband until you left. Kiyoshi missed you terribly."
I sighed.
"Hate is a horrible thing. Evil born of innocence is still evil," I muttered.
"Ugh! What are you, a damn philosopher?"
At that moment, Sakura interrupted.
"Okay, so now there are four yamis. And the fourth is your old wife?" she asked grouchily. I nodded.
"Okay...well I'm going home. I'll just drive, you know. Ask Malik to pick you up later. "Erm...very well..."
I tilted my head as she left.
"She gets stranger by the minute."
"No, you wouldn't understand, Bakura. You really wouldn't," Ka Saraha told me.
"What are you referring to, Ka?" I queried.
"Nothing. It's a girl thing."
"Well, you're allowed to be at my house until, well, five o'clock is my limit," I said.
"If that's the best you can do..."
"Five-thirty."
"Fine."
"You have until five-thirty to do what the hell you want. No drinking, no binging, no cursing, no MAGIC!"
"Okay, okay, geez."
I told her to leave with Sakura first, then do what she felt like doing. She agreed, of course. That left all my attention to Ryou. I stared at him, sleeping. He shivered, all uncovered like he was. I took the covers up and draped them over him. He ceased his shaking.
With a groan of impatience, I waited for him to awaken. What happened next was unexpected. He began to toss and turn, sweat beading his forehead.
"What the hell..."
Ryou's POV
I was in the library. Yami Bakura, Sakura, Malik, Ayari, and I were all reading. This felt wrong.
"Hey, Bakura, look at this!" Malik snorted. "You're in the magazine's front page!!"
"Really?"
"Well, this is a dream, but yeah."
"A dream, huh?" I said. "I figured as much."
I stared at myself in the magazine. The headline was quite clear.
GENIUS IS DISCOVERED!!
RYOU BAKURA SOLVES PERPETUAL PARADOX.
"Okay, now I know this is a dream. I can't solve a perpetual paradox."
I read the title of the article inside.
RYOU BAKURA FINDS THE LAST INTERVAL OF THE IRRATIONAL NUMBER PI.
"But there is no end to pi!" I argued.
"Pi, shmi!" Sakura said. "What's pi to you? You won't even eat it anymore without throwing it back up!"
I cringed.
"Yeah, who'd want to be around an anorexic person like Ryou anyway?" Ayari added.
My eyes began to water a bit around the corner. My feelings were getting my better.
"I certainly didn't teach freak-o over there that damn trait. He learned it on his own."
I turned to my yami in shock. He was reading a horror book. "The Shining."
"Look at Ryou, he can abuse himself without my help! You've learned well, aibou," Yami Bakura said mockingly.
"No..."
"Oh, yes. You're changing inside and out, little Bakura. And there's nothing you can do about it 'cause you're just a weakling."
I gasped at the comment. Yami Bakura never insulted me so anymore. He advanced on me, like old times. I yelled in fear.
"RYOU!"
"Gahhh!"
Yami Bakura's POV
Ryou began to writhe in such a manner that the sheets twisted around him like a straitjacket. I shook him, but his head merely lolled unpleasantly and he moaned.
"Ryou, what's wrong?" I asked in frustration. All at once, his piercing yell tore through my thoughts. It scared me into yelling myself.
"RYOU!"
"Gahhh!" he replied. He was so frightened.
"Its okay, Bakura. I'm here. You just had a nightmare."
"A nightmare...only a dream," he repeated.
"That's right. Now do you want to go home?"
He hesitated, giving me a look. It sort of creeped me out. He seemed to be looking into me, not at me.
"What are you staring at?" I said. "You're being spooky."
"Nothing, lets get home."
I decided it best if we walked home, rather than disturb Malik. With the doctor's final advice (eat plenty to gain your weight back), we departed. Ryou's right arm was attached to the unsightly cathoder.
"You heard the man, Ryou. You must eat now. You're going to do it, right?"
"Sure I am! I don't want to stay sick!"
I blinked at his sharp tone. We walked in silence for several minutes before he broke the silence.
"Sorry, Yami. I had a bad dream about you. I just..."
"It's all right," I said stiffly. He always thought of me at my worst. "You know, Bakura, I..."
Suddenly, I collapsed in weakness.
"Hn?"
"Yami?!"
I was surprised at the weakness I felt. Not angry, just surprised and curious.
"Look, now don't you start with the anorexic nonsense," Ryou said. "We're going to Burger World and eat."
I nodded as I got to my feet.
"Oh, so that's what it was. That's why I feel sick..."
"Yeah. That's why you feel sick," Bakura told me patronizingly.
We walked to this "Burger World." I didn't get out so much that I totally knew every aspect of this world, so naturally, I was sort of confused. We walked in to be greeted by a cheery woman who scared the hell out of me. I calmed down when Bakura got us our seats. I wouldn't be scared of that bitch again. I crossed one leg over the other and crossed my arms as well, waiting for them to bring me my food.
"Er...Yami, you have to order the food..."
"I have to?"
"Yes. How do they know what you want? Look. I think I have enough money to tide you over, so just order anything you want."
I grinned. Food was good. I stared at the menu. There were so many good-looking things. I ordered a double chili cheeseburger with the works (whatever that was) and I ordered a large double cheeseburger with a soda and fries. That seemed adequate. I goaded Bakura into ordering my first selection for himself, plus fries and a soda. We talked a bit while we awaited our food.
"How many times have you deceived me thus far?" I asked him.
"Uh, about twelve or more times."
"You're getting good, foolish aibou."
He stared at his shoelaces when I said that.
"I don't like deceiving anybody, not even you," he told me. "No offense."
"None taken."
"You sure like eating, don't you, Yami?"
"Well, when I got trapped in the Millennium Ring, for the first year or so, I couldn't take the starvation. I was dying, but I wouldn't die. And I wasn't dead, so it never stopped. Eventually, I became accustomed to it, but for two damn years, I was punished with the horrible stomach cramps of starvation. That's how I know what it feels like to starve and that's why I eat like a Ra-damned horse!"
"Oh. I'm sorry..."
"Don't be. I got immortality, and I paid the price for it."
"Well, no more of that, because here's our food!"
I knew my eyes were gleaming when I saw that food. It wasn't set in front of me for half a minute before it was nearly all in my stomach. Amazingly enough, Ryou ate at almost the same pace as me. We both finished at nearly the same time, then we walked the rest of the way home. I eventually let Ryou lean on me as he became tired. It felt weird, treating him so nice. Not good or bad, just weird...
"Yami, what'll happen when I die?"
"I don't know. You're my first actual reincarnation that's received the Millennium Ring, and my spirit. I suppose I'll just go back in the Ring."
"Oh. Sounds dreadfully boring."
"Why would it matter? It's not like you'll live in the Ring for a thousand or so years."
"Oh, I don't know. It makes me feel for you."
"Don't. I don't need anyone anyway."
Bakura stared at the ground again. Was it something I said? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Was it really something he said? I wonder!! Anyway, straight from the world of Yu-Gi-Oh is Ryou Bakura!! I just borrowed him for a reviewer!
Ryou: Uh...hi...
This girl sent me a review to sort of forward to you, so read it and reply!
Ryou: *Reads review from Ryou's Kitty* 0_0. She ate an entire box of ice cream in a day?!?! Well, I suppose I could do that too...oh, who am I kidding? I've done it before in portions! ^_^
Really?
Ryou: Yep. And I did it on a bet with Sakura too, though that one came out messy...
Sakura: That one time, he spewed it all over Malik! It was soooo funny!!^__^
Ryou: -_-U. Thanks a lot, Sakura...
Sakura: But I did feel really bad, onii-chan...
Well, anyway, what about the cookies?
Ryou: Well, soon enough, you'll see me be eating a lot in the story u_u.
Sakura: Oh, don't sound so downtrodden. Eventually, you'll enjoy it.
Ryou: I wonder if I'll get creampuffs...^______^
Okay, well, now that you've all heard a bit of Ryou-score, I'll just be sure to update as soon as humanly and educationally possible. Toodles!!
