Ariku: Well, to answer your question Psycho Maniac, Ryou is my confused little bisexual for now. He kinda has feelings for Lucia like that… and Bakura is just a horny freak and Ryou lurves him too. And I have the day off, so I can WRITE SOME MORE! Yay… planning bunches and bunches of insanity for this chapter….
Disclaimer: Oof… you talk too much. Well, she doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh, but does own Lucia. Enjoy. And, she doesn't own the band Ra or the band Muse.
Ariku: And thank you reviewers… All the positive comments really help.

Chapter 7: School Sucks, I Want Out
"BAKURA!" Ryou seethed as he spotted his Yami pestering some poor little girl.
"You know where I come from, monsters like to eat little girls… just like you," he teased. The child looked up at him curiously, and then did the unthinkable. She smacked him with as much force as a small kid could muster and ran away giggling.
Bakura was ready to take after the girl just as his hikari restrained him. "Rotten little brat!" he yelled in the direction in which said girl had run off. Ryou poked the back of his head playfully, "Come on, you promised." The smaller teen smiled very innocently and looked up at 'Kura with puppy dog eyes. 'Damnit, Ryou!' "Fine." How could he resist that face?
.
(Ariku: I'm going to try something new…)
-Lucia's Point Of View-
People were staring at me. And oddly enough, I had no vial remarks to put them in their place. I just slid my hands into the pockets of my sweater and walked on. "I need to find an ATM machine," I stated to the air. That fuckhead of a voice finally shut up, but I'm sure it'll be back within an hour or so.
I was having trouble keeping the voices at bay lately. "What are you looking at, junior?" I growled at this little kid who ran to his mom and hid behind her. She just stared at me awkwardly as I walked past.
"Tell your little mistake it's not polite to stare at strangers." I hissed with a smirk and laughed at how aghast the woman looked.
"Why I never…!" The woman gasped in disbelief. "Now you have." I retorted with a smile, flipping her off and patting her little kid on the head. "Kill her when you get older, you'll grow to hate that crackwhore, trust me. Oh, and while you're at it kid, drink and do drugs when you get older too, it's lots of fun. Shrooms especially."
"Who do you think you ARE?!" That disgusting excuse for a woman bellowed. I eyed her up and down and decided that thing wasn't a 'she' at all. 'It' described that thing much better.
"I'm your worst goddamned nightmare, she-man." I said before stalking off to the ATM machine. "Hmm…. amount to withdraw…" I wondered how much I should take out. I didn't even know how much Messiah had in it.
'Mom sent him a check last week.' I remembered.
"Well then, Messiah's loaded." I chirped and put in a number that satisfied me thoroughly. Mom always sent him enormous amounts of money.
Of course, our parents were rich bastards. And even though they hated us both, they still sent money so we'd live. "Well, now they only have one child to hate." I know they'd stop sending checks if they learned of Messiah's death. It was like them. They'd come here and conveniently inform social services about a minor with no parents.
"God, even when I'm sixteen fucking years old!" I blinked and looked down at the ATM. It was asking for Messiah's pin number. "Umm…" Ugh, who am I kidding? He would've used the year I was born considering he 'loved me so much'.
I punched in 1-9-8-8 and received the money. (Ariku: Do they use ATM's? oO Erm… whatever.) 'You weren't very nice to that woman back there.' "Says you. How can you even be sure it was a woman?"
What was the first thing to worry about with my new found money to spend? A meal. I hadn't eaten in a day and a half, for Christ's sake! And Messiah had always gone out to eat, so I figured I might as well buy what I needed to cook for myself.
I had this extremely cold feeling in the pit of my stomach. No, it wasn't because I was soaked to the bone, but it felt like… I was being stalked. I couldn't help but wish Ryou was looking for me…
.
Ryou and Bakura continued their search, Ryou leading them up the way Yami had taken Lucia. "She's around here somewhere, she just has to be…" Ryou breathed, shaking his head to hopefully shake some of the water off his face.
No such luck. "Cold…" he whimpered, looking over to his yami who just so happened to be wearing a very puzzled expression. "What is it, 'Kura?" Bakura pointed to slender figure in a black sweater up ahead. "Isn't that her?" he asked.
"It is!" Ryou exclaimed happily, grabbing the spirit's hand and pulling him across the street and up the sidewalk. "Lucia! Lucia, it's us!" Said girl turned her head and her eyes widened when she saw Ryou and his look alike running towards her.
"Why did you lea--" Bakura cut him off by complimenting Lucia on her sweater. "Nice." She smiled at him and looked back to Ryou, "Why did I what, Ryou?" "Why did you leave?" He sounded impatient and huffy. She flicked his forehead playfully, "I just needed to reflect for a while. I've decided to live in Messiah's old apartment. Anyways, I needed a change of clothes."
'Can I call 'em or what?' Ryou told himself smugly. "Where did you live before, Lucia?" "In a very under furnished apartment about seven blocks away from here. Messiah always supplied me with the money to buy food and stuff." "You know before you left, you could've atleast come down and given us an explanation and a goodbye." Bakura crossed him arms and waited for a reply.
"Sorry. It was a momentary lapse of judgment, Baku." She winked and turned to the doors of the grocery store. "Care to come with me? I need to do a bit of shopping."
Bakura immediately said no, and justified his quick, negative response with, "I know what girls do when they shop. If there's a man along, they make them carry their bags." Ryou simply shook his head and followed Lucia, who was in hysterics.
.
-Lucia's Point Of View-
So they found me. I knew I was being stalked. Blah blah blah…. "Care to come with me? I need to do a bit of shopping." Bakura sat down on a poorly painted green bench and grimaced. "No. I know what girls do when they shop. If there's a man along, they make them carry their bags."
I broke into laughter and muttered, "Lazy ass." I walk into the store with Ryou following.
'Oh gosh, I thought you promised yourself you weren't going to get attached to anyone ever again…' "Shut up. I don't need to be bothered with your fucking attitude right now." Ryou stared at me strangely.
"Uh… so, why did you come looking for me anyways?" I throw up my barriers and change the subject quickly.
"I was worried, ya know?…" Ryou said, his face turning a very red hue. My heart leapt. He was worried about me? No, NO, bad Lucia!
"Lucia, what about school?" "I don't go to school anymore." Ryou looked a bit put down. "Oh." He muttered as I grabbed a bag of rice and then headed for butter. "Are you ok?" I asked him, a little concerned.
"I'm fine. I was just hoping you would come to school. Meet some of my friends. I know they'd be more then thrilled." I held back the hysterical laughter that threatened to spill out of my mouth. Thrilled to meet me? Oh yeah, there ya go. That made perfect sense.
"Why don't you enroll?" "Because they require a parent or guardian's number and name." "Then make one up." Bakura's voice made us both jump. "What are you doing here? I thought you didn't wanna help carry bags." I joked.
"Meh, got lonely outside. Besides, it's fucking freezing out there."
"Good point." Why did Ryou look like that wasn't the only reason?
Minutes later, the same fat 'it' I was harassing before came running, no, wait, jogging? Oh well, it doesn't really matter. Anyways, she came down the isle, huffing and puffing. "I'll get you, you little shit!" "Better watch who you threaten, bitchzilla!" Bakura shouted back at her. "Oh. So that's why you came in." Ryou said with a sigh.
I turned around and walked out of the isle as fast as I could towards the cash register so I could pay for my things and go without her recognizing me. I didn't need any broken ribs from being sat on by that monstrosity, and I definitely didn't need to be knock out by her overwhelming body odor. How could that child call her mother? Disgusting. I feel bad for whatever man had the nerve to impregnate that witch. She probably crushed him.
Ugh… I'm making myself sick…
.
(Ariku: Yay… my confused little Ryou's point of view. Fun stuff!)
-Ryou's Point Of View-
Oh Bakura… why couldn't you have stayed out of trouble for once…
I high-tailed it after Lucia, leaving 'Kura who would not back down from that extremely large woman. I stopped at the end of the isle and turned back. "Bakura! Come on! She's the size of house!" Bakura looks at me in surprise, barely able to believe I actually insulted someone I suppose.
"Oh puhlease," he scoffed, "you think this rancid thing could frighten me?" No, not really. Just break a few bones and find her way to the shadow realm with your help. I did not speak my thoughts, just watched wide-eyed.
The woman came charging at Bakura, and he smirked, raising the Millennium Ring and blasting her with shadow magic. No need to worry now. Her soul was gracing the shadow realm. Or stinking it up… whatever.
The overly large woman's eyes rolled into the back of her head and she fell. "I'm surprised she didn't cause an earthquake," Bakura said, laughing harder then ever.
.
-Normal Point Of View-
The trio headed for Lucia's new home, Bakura throwing rocks at random people who they passed. "Lucia, please come to school with us tomorrow?" "What, and miss a whole day of nothing to do but sit on my ass? Now why would I want to do that?"
Bakura used her shoulder as an armrest and grinned, "He's going to enroll you anyways, so why not come? There's all sorts of stuff to blow up and offices to raid," he flicked her nose before continuing, "besides, you could pass as our sister if you wanted."
Ryou nodded and looked at Lucia with big, hope filled chocolate brown eyes. "Fine. Just promise you two won't leave me stranded with no fucking clue of where to go or what to do."
"You'll get a map of the school, and we'll walk by here in the morning to come get you, savvy?" Ryou blinked confusedly. 'Since when does he use the word savvy?' That was enough to scare him.
"Whatever," she mused before leading them into the apartment.
The stereo had turned itself on again. She growled at it, looking very agitated.
'Rectifier' by Ra was carrying itself throughout the room, and Bakura looked astounded. "You like rock music, Baku? Ryou?" Lucia raised a brow at him. Bakura scowled, "What's rock music?" Ryou put a hand on his forehead and sat down on the couch, shaking his head, seeing Bakura's lack of knowledge as very embarrassing.
Lucia laughed. "It's a kind of music. Like… this song that's on now is Rectifier by Ra, and…" She put in another CD, pressed a button, and 'Time Is Running Out' by Muse came from the speakers. Lucia continued, "This is another example. Songs are sung by different people, and I'd have to say I love rock music the best." Bakura looked taken aback as he remembered her previous statement. "Ra…?"
Ryou sighed in disgust, "Not the Ra you're thinking of, 'Kura. It's a band, of mortals." "Oh." Bakura blushed and shrugged it off, "I knew that."
Ryou looked up at Lucia as she put away the food that she had bought. "So please Lucia, will you come to school tomorrow?" "Mmhmm, knowing Ryou, he'll probably get the application through by tonight." Bakura spat. Lucia was left to think it over. "Hmm… alright, I'll go. I suppose I have to buy a uniform, right?" Ryou nodded. She smiled and walked over, placing a rather large amount of money in his hand.
"W-what's this for?" Ryou asked, eyeing the money she gave him. "Money for a uniform. Now comes the part where I ask you for a favor. Will you buy a uniform for me? Or is that not enough?"
"This is more then enough. I'd be happy to buy you a uniform and give you any change ba-" "Keep it," she cut him off bitterly. "O-ok."
.
Ryou and Bakura left after watching some TV and talking with Lucia. 'I actually think I like her…' he thought to himself, a lump rising in his throat. "I'll have to fill out Lucia's application on the computer," Ryou said to no one, trying to get his thoughts off of her. 'I'm so confused' he thought, hanging his head. "Ok." Bakura replied, putting his arm around Bakura's shoulders.
When Ryou got home, he immediately got onto the computer and went onto the school's website. Well, not exactly. Coming through the door became difficult when Bakura locked him in a ten minute make out session, but he had tried… really he tried to get away.
'Yeah right!' something in his head giggled. "Student Last Name…" His eyes widened.
"Did she ever tell me her last name?" He thought back to the walk they took the other day. She had told him. But he couldn't quite remember…
'Jade!!!' Something in his head screamed. "Jade…? Lucia Jade?" 'Yup, remember? She told you her friends once called her LJ.' "Ah. Now I remember." But who could he say were her parents? Without really thinking about it, he typed in Bakura for her last name. "She can pose as my sister. Sure my friends will know she's not, but the teachers won't."
He went so on and so forth, filling out every last detail as if she were his sister. He put in his own address as hers, and put his phone number as hers. "Better let her know that the teachers will be calling her 'Lucia Bakura' from now on. Ms. Bakura, which might really freak her out."
He chuckled and went on filling out the last parts of the form. "Done!" He shouted thirty minutes later, clicking the 'Send Application' button and standing up, holding his head high in triumph. He practically skipped out of the room, and met a dripping wet Bakura clad in only boxers. "Done with her application, hikari?"
He advanced on his light who blushed a deeper red then ever thought possible. "Um, yeah, I'm done." 'Don't even think about Lucia. You know you love Bakura.' But was the voice in his head entirely correct?
Bakura slid his arms around Ryou's waist and stared down at his little hikari with a smirk. "Are you ready for what's next?" he whispered in the shorter teen's ear seductively.
A nod was all it took before Bakura closed his mouth over Ryou's, tongue tracing his lips, pleading for entrance. His mouth opened and let his yami's tongue pass to explore and taste the hot caverns of his mouth.
'Do you really love Bakura only? Or does Lucia catch your interest as well…?' 'Of course not!' 'She does, and you know it, Mr. Bisexual.' Two voices in poor little Ryou's head continued to argue, without any way to be stopped.
Bakura broke the kiss only to slide Ryou's shirt off over his head, then dove right back in, grinning on the inside as his light let out a moan, begging for more.
The dark spirit released the smaller teen's lips and kissed the nape of his neck softly. 'Kura led his beloved Ryou upstairs and to the bedroom. You can imagine where it went from there.
(Ariku: oO' Yes, well, considering I suck at writing scenes like this, I shall stop there. I know, I know, they're sexy and adorable together, but I've thought this over a billion times and I always overdo it. Heh… sorry.)
.
-Lucia's Point Of View-
Monday. I wake up to the sound of Messiah's damned alarm clock buzzing a foot away from my ears. After two minutes of swatting around, I finally find the button to turn it off. Why am I so tired?
I look at the clock and almost have a heart attack at what time it is. "FOUR A.M.!?" He must've been an early bird, goddamn him.
I groan and slowly get out of bed, bumping my head on one of the metallic poles that are on the four corners of the bed. "Ow." 'Serves you right.' "Didn't I tell you to fuck off?" 'Aha, like I would do what you say anyways…'
Damn that fucking voice to purgatory. I practically drag myself over to the closet and pick out a black t-shirt that reads 'It's only funny to someone gets hurt. Then it's hilarious.' I don't know why, but I like this particular shirt alot. Maybe I'm just weird.
I pick out a pair of baggy dark blue jeans and lay the outfit on my bed, figuring since school didn't start for quite a while I could get a shower.
I head for the bathroom, slip off the gigantic t-shirt I had slept in, and jump in the shower. I lean down and turn on the hot and cold water, and gladly welcome a blast of freezing cold water before it warms up.
.
-Bakura's Point Of View- (Ariku: Oi… this'll be fun.)
"Bakura! Get up, c'mon! We need to go get Lucia's uniform and head to her apartment!" My hikari yells at me. He's been shaking me for the past five minutes, expecting me to get up. I wrinkle my nose as water drips off of his hair and onto my face.
He had gotten a shower. I always liked to take showers the night before school, he seemed to love freezing his ass off in the morning though. Go figure that one out yourself.
"Fine!" I screech as I hop out of bed and rub my eyes, then glare at his cute figure in a towel, water sliding down his chest. "Glad to see you're up, sleepy head." Ryou smiles that adorable little smile of his and I snap out of my daze.
"What time is it?" "4 A.M. on the dot, 'Kura." He giggles happily as my jaw drops. "What the hell are you waking me up at 4 fucking A.M. for!?" He pouts slightly, "We need to go get Lucia a uniform and head over to her apartment!" Oh. Right. He had said that before.
"Fine," I growl. "Oh, and if any of the teacher's ask, she's related to us." "So she's called Lucia Bakura, now?" He smiles at me, "Yup! Now, we'll both get dressed, head down to get her uniform, and then go to her home. Mmkay?" "The place to get her uniform is even open this early?" I ask, astounded.
"Yeah, it is. Why else would I be waking you up this early? I thought it'd be better if we went as early as possible so I could explain some stuff to Lucia." I nod before digging through my dresser to find something to wear. Ra, could this suck any more?
.
-Normal Point Of View-
Ryou was walking along, looking for the right apartment number. "Hmm…" 'I should be sleeping right now like the rest of these morons. It's 4:30 in the Ra damned morning!' Bakura thinks, snarling at nothing.
"Here it is!" Ryou says, taking out the spare key Lucia had given him. Maybe she was getting attached after all. He unlocked the door and turned the knob, allowing the two access to the two room apartment which was a good size, three rooms if you counted the bathroom.
Ryou looked around the living room, Bakura following him in, Lucia's uniform in his backpack. "Well, where is she?" he growled, walking over to the bedroom door and opening it to look for her.
Lucia had just gotten out of the shower, and stood there, toweled off and naked. Completely naked. She was combing the tangles out of her dripping wet blue hair when she looked up to see Bakura enter.
Bakura raised a brow and stared at her. "So here you are." Lucia felt her face getting hot. Ryou walked in, asking in the process, "Did you find her, 'Kura?" He stopped dead in his tracks.
"Can I have my fucking uniform, please?" Lucia snapped, trying to control her tone, her right eye twitching every so often. Ryou caught himself staring and his whole face turned cherry red, "Give her the uniform, Bakura." He covered his eyes and walked out of the room, dragging along his yami after he had given her the uniform.
Bakura yawned and smirked, "Couldn't exactly call her misshapen, now could you?" "'Kura!" Ryou barked at him, ready to smack him for invading her privacy in the first place. "Don't worry Ryou, you're body is much more desirable," the tomb robber purred in his hikari's ear. 'I don't exactly care.'
Lucia came out minutes later fully dressed and brushing her hair, acting as if nothing had happened. It was 5 A.M., and school didn't start for a long time.
"Lucia, there's a few things I need to go over with you." Ryou said, sitting down on the couch. 'Like her body with your tongue?' a voice in his head snickered as the teen blushed. He had been doing that a lot around her. Blushing, that is. But wasn't he gay? He loved Bakura after all.
Lucia plopped down next to him and finished combing her hair. "Ok, what's up?"
"Well, first of all, the teachers are going to be calling you Lucia Bakura or Ms. Bakura, so don't be surprised. I put you down as our sister. If anyone asks, you live where I live. All my friends will know you're not really our sister, but other's will think you are so just play along, mmkay?" She nodded.
He handed her a piece of paper with a list of classes written down on it. "This is your schedule. Funny thing about sending in applications over the internet. They seem to have computers smart enough to place you in classes right away. And you're lucky, you got almost all my classes." "Cool," she shrugged.
During the course of 2 hours, Ryou gave her a map, explained to her different things, and ate cereal while her and Bakura chatted it up. They watched the early morning news before it was time to go.
.
The bell rang for all students to get to homeroom. What a living hell that turned out to be for Lucia. She had been put in the office in the morning for punching a kid and two minutes after the bell rang, that evil wench of a secretary let her go to class.
'Finally! God, because of her I'm going to be late on my first day!' Lucia screamed in her head, finding her way to the classroom. She ran into the room just as the bell rang, narrowly escaping being tardy. She stood inside the door for a moment, waiting for the teacher to realize that she was the new student. 'What a brainless--'
Her thoughts were interrupted by a cheerfully strict teacher who snapped at the class, "Class, I'd like you to meet our new student. Lucia Bakura." Lucia smiled at Ryou as she ignored the whispers from her fellow classmates. "Ooo, she's hot." One guy whispered to his friends who all laughed and high fived each other. 'Idiots.'
"Oh, she's related to that weirdo, Ryou. And Bakura, too!" Lucia shot an evil glare towards the preppy little bitch that said that. She took her seat next to Ryou and sighed. "Welcome to your first day of hell," some guy turned back and whispered to her. She gave a weak little grin and nodded his way, sniffing in disdain.
"I already don't like it here." She whispered to Ryou who giggled and whispered back, "It'll be ok. You have Bakura and I, so it shouldn't be all that bad." He wanted to hug her and tell her it was ok, but he held back.
The next two periods ended up terribly. Lucia was starting to curse herself more and more for even deciding to come.
After fourth period, lunch time rolled around and she thanked every higher power she could think of as she marched off to get a tray and wait in line. "School sucks," she said to no one in particular as she got her lunch and paid the woman.
'Now I remember why I dropped out in the first place.' she thought as she sat down next to Bakura.

Ariku: Heehee… I made this chapter long because I have school tomorrow and I most likely won't keep up with my frequent updates. Well, it'll give me time to figure out where I want to go with this. Woooo, 11:25 p.m.! That means it took me… around seven hours to write this.
Disclaimer: Oof… you talk too much. Well, she doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh, but does own Lucia. Enjoy. And, she doesn't own the band Ra or the band Muse.

I turned around and walked out of the isle as fast as I could towards the cash register so I could pay for my things and go without her recognizing me. I didn't need any broken ribs from being sat on by that monstrosity, and I definitely didn't need to be knock out by her overwhelming body odor. How could that child call her mother? Disgusting. I feel bad for whatever man had the nerve to impregnate that witch. She probably crushed him.
Ugh… I'm making myself sick…
.
(Ariku: Yay… my confused little Ryou's point of view. Fun stuff!)
-Ryou's Point Of View-
Oh Bakura… why couldn't you have stayed out of trouble for once…
I high-tailed it after Lucia, leaving 'Kura who would not back down from that extremely large woman. I stopped at the end of the isle and turned back. "Bakura! Come on! She's the size of house!" Bakura looks at me in surprise, barely able to believe I actually insulted someone I suppose.
"Oh puhlease," he scoffed, "you think this rancid thing could frighten me?" No, not really. Just break a few bones and find her way to the shadow realm with your help. I did not speak my thoughts, just watched wide-eyed.
The woman came charging at Bakura, and he smirked, raising the Millennium Ring and blasting her with shadow magic. No need to worry now. Her soul was gracing the shadow realm. Or stinking it up… whatever.
The overly large woman's eyes rolled into the back of her head and she fell. "I'm surprised she didn't cause an earthquake," Bakura said, laughing harder then ever.
.
-Normal Point Of View-
The trio headed for Lucia's new home, Bakura throwing rocks at random people who they passed. "Lucia, please come to school with us tomorrow?" "What, and miss a whole day of nothing to do but sit on my ass? Now why would I want to do that?"
Bakura used her shoulder as an armrest and grinned, "He's going to enroll you anyways, so why not come? There's all sorts of stuff to blow up and offices to raid," he flicked her nose before continuing, "besides, you could pass as our sister if you wanted."
Ryou nodded and looked at Lucia with big, hope filled chocolate brown eyes. "Fine. Just promise you two won't leave me stranded with no fucking clue of where to go or what to do."
"You'll get a map of the school, and we'll walk by here in the morning to come get you, savvy?" Ryou blinked confusedly. 'Since when does he use the word savvy?' That was enough to scare him.
"Whatever," she mused before leading them into the apartment.
The stereo had turned itself on again. She growled at it, looking very agitated.
'Rectifier' by Ra was carrying itself throughout the room, and Bakura looked astounded. "You like rock music, Baku? Ryou?" Lucia raised a brow at him. Bakura scowled, "What's rock music?" Ryou put a hand on his forehead and sat down on the couch, shaking his head, seeing Bakura's lack of knowledge as very embarrassing.
Lucia laughed. "It's a kind of music. Like… this song that's on now is Rectifier by Ra, and…" She put in another CD, pressed a button, and 'Time Is Running Out' by Muse came from the speakers. Lucia continued, "This is another example. Songs are sung by different people, and I'd have to say I love rock music the best." Bakura looked taken aback as he remembered her previous statement. "Ra…?"
Ryou sighed in disgust, "Not the Ra you're thinking of, 'Kura. It's a band, of mortals." "Oh." Bakura blushed and shrugged it off, "I knew that."
Ryou looked up at Lucia as she put away the food that she had bought. "So please Lucia, will you come to school tomorrow?" "Mmhmm, knowing Ryou, he'll probably get the application through by tonight." Bakura spat. Lucia was left to think it over. "Hmm… alright, I'll go. I suppose I have to buy a uniform, right?" Ryou nodded. She smiled and walked over, placing a rather large amount of money in his hand.
"W-what's this for?" Ryou asked, eyeing the money she gave him. "Money for a uniform. Now comes the part where I ask you for a favor. Will you buy a uniform for me? Or is that not enough?"
"This is more then enough. I'd be happy to buy you a uniform and give you any change ba-" "Keep it," she cut him off bitterly. "O-ok."
.
Ryou and Bakura left after watching some TV and talking with Lucia. 'I actually think I like her…' he thought to himself, a lump rising in his throat. "I'll have to fill out Lucia's application on the computer," Ryou said to no one, trying to get his thoughts off of her. 'I'm so confused' he thought, hanging his head. "Ok." Bakura replied, putting his arm around Bakura's shoulders.
When Ryou got home, he immediately got onto the computer and went onto the school's website. Well, not exactly. Coming through the door became difficult when Bakura locked him in a ten minute make out session, but he had tried… really he tried to get away.
'Yeah right!' something in his head giggled. "Student Last Name…" His eyes widened.
"Did she ever tell me her last name?" He thought back to the walk they took the other day. She had told him. But he couldn't quite remember…
'Jade!!!' Something in his head screamed. "Jade…? Lucia Jade?" 'Yup, remember? She told you her friends once called her LJ.' "Ah. Now I remember." But who could he say were her parents? Without really thinking about it, he typed in Bakura for her last name. "She can pose as my sister. Sure my friends will know she's not, but the teachers won't."
He went so on and so forth, filling out every last detail as if she were his sister. He put in his own address as hers, and put his phone number as hers. "Better let her know that the teachers will be calling her 'Lucia Bakura' from now on. Ms. Bakura, which might really freak her out."
He chuckled and went on filling out the last parts of the form. "Done!" He shouted thirty minutes later, clicking the 'Send Application' button and standing up, holding his head high in triumph. He practically skipped out of the room, and met a dripping wet Bakura clad in only boxers. "Done with her application, hikari?"
He advanced on his light who blushed a deeper red then ever thought possible. "Um, yeah, I'm done." 'Don't even think about Lucia. You know you love Bakura.' But was the voice in his head entirely correct?
Bakura slid his arms around Ryou's waist and stared down at his little hikari with a smirk. "Are you ready for what's next?" he whispered in the shorter teen's ear seductively.
A nod was all it took before Bakura closed his mouth over Ryou's, tongue tracing his lips, pleading for entrance. His mouth opened and let his yami's tongue pass to explore and taste the hot caverns of his mouth.
'Do you really love Bakura only? Or does Lucia catch your interest as well…?' 'Of course not!' 'She does, and you know it, Mr. Bisexual.' Two voices in poor little Ryou's head continued to argue, without any way to be stopped.
Bakura broke the kiss only to slide Ryou's shirt off over his head, then dove right back in, grinning on the inside as his light let out a moan, begging for more.
The dark spirit released the smaller teen's lips and kissed the nape of his neck softly. 'Kura led his beloved Ryou upstairs and to the bedroom. You can imagine where it went from there.
(Ariku: oO' Yes, well, considering I suck at writing scenes like this, I shall stop there. I know, I know, they're sexy and adorable together, but I've thought this over a billion times and I always overdo it. Heh… sorry.)

-Lucia's Point Of View-
Monday. I wake up to the sound of Messiah's damned alarm clock buzzing a foot away from my ears. After two minutes of swatting around, I finally find the button to turn it off. Why am I so tired?
I look at the clock and almost have a heart attack at what time it is. "FOUR A.M.!?" He must've been an early bird, goddamn him.
I groan and slowly get out of bed, bumping my head on one of the metallic poles that are on the four corners of the bed. "Ow." 'Serves you right.' "Didn't I tell you to fuck off?" 'Aha, like I would do what you say anyways…'
Damn that fucking voice to purgatory. I practically drag myself over to the closet and pick out a black t-shirt that reads 'It's only funny to someone gets hurt. Then it's hilarious.' I don't know why, but I like this particular shirt alot. Maybe I'm just weird.
I pick out a pair of baggy dark blue jeans and lay the outfit on my bed, figuring since school didn't start for quite a while I could get a shower.
I head for the bathroom, slip off the gigantic t-shirt I had slept in, and jump in the shower. I lean down and turn on the hot and cold water, and gladly welcome a blast of freezing cold water before it warms up.
.
-Bakura's Point Of View- (Ariku: Oi… this'll be fun.)
"Bakura! Get up, c'mon! We need to go get Lucia's uniform and head to her apartment!" My hikari yells at me. He's been shaking me for the past five minutes, expecting me to get up. I wrinkle my nose as water drips off of his hair and onto my face.
He had gotten a shower. I always liked to take showers the night before school, he seemed to love freezing his ass off in the morning though. Go figure that one out yourself.
"Fine!" I screech as I hop out of bed and rub my eyes, then glare at his cute figure in a towel, water sliding down his chest. "Glad to see you're up, sleepy head." Ryou smiles that adorable little smile of his and I snap out of my daze.
"What time is it?" "4 A.M. on the dot, 'Kura." He giggles happily as my jaw drops. "What the hell are you waking me up at 4 fucking A.M. for!?" He pouts slightly, "We need to go get Lucia a uniform and head over to her apartment!" Oh. Right. He had said that before.
"Fine," I growl. "Oh, and if any of the teacher's ask, she's related to us." "So she's called Lucia Bakura, now?" He smiles at me, "Yup! Now, we'll both get dressed, head down to get her uniform, and then go to her home. Mmkay?" "The place to get her uniform is even open this early?" I ask, astounded.
"Yeah, it is. Why else would I be waking you up this early? I thought it'd be better if we went as early as possible so I could explain some stuff to Lucia." I nod before digging through my dresser to find something to wear. Ra, could this suck any more?
.
-Normal Point Of View-
Ryou was walking along, looking for the right apartment number. "Hmm…" 'I should be sleeping right now like the rest of these morons. It's 4:30 in the Ra damned morning!' Bakura thinks, snarling at nothing.
"Here it is!" Ryou says, taking out the spare key Lucia had given him. Maybe she was getting attached after all. He unlocked the door and turned the knob, allowing the two access to the two room apartment which was a good size, three rooms if you counted the bathroom.
Ryou looked around the living room, Bakura following him in, Lucia's uniform in his backpack. "Well, where is she?" he growled, walking over to the bedroom door and opening it to look for her.
Lucia had just gotten out of the shower, and stood there, toweled off and naked. Completely naked. She was combing the tangles out of her dripping wet blue hair when she looked up to see Bakura enter.
Bakura raised a brow and stared at her. "So here you are." Lucia felt her face getting hot. Ryou walked in, asking in the process, "Did you find her, 'Kura?" He stopped dead in his tracks.
"Can I have my fucking uniform, please?" Lucia snapped, trying to control her tone, her right eye twitching every so often. Ryou caught himself staring and his whole face turned cherry red, "Give her the uniform, Bakura." He covered his eyes and walked out of the room, dragging along his yami after he had given her the uniform.
Bakura yawned and smirked, "Couldn't exactly call her misshapen, now could you?" "'Kura!" Ryou barked at him, ready to smack him for invading her privacy in the first place. "Don't worry Ryou, you're body is much more desirable," the tomb robber purred in his hikari's ear. 'I don't exactly care.'
Lucia came out minutes later fully dressed and brushing her hair, acting as if nothing had happened. It was 5 A.M., and school didn't start for a long time.
"Lucia, there's a few things I need to go over with you." Ryou said, sitting down on the couch. 'Like her body with your tongue?' a voice in his head snickered as the teen blushed. He had been doing that a lot around her. Blushing, that is. But wasn't he gay? He loved Bakura after all.
Lucia plopped down next to him and finished combing her hair. "Ok, what's up?"
"Well, first of all, the teachers are going to be calling you Lucia Bakura or Ms. Bakura, so don't be surprised. I put you down as our sister. If anyone asks, you live where I live. All my friends will know you're not really our sister, but other's will think you are so just play along, mmkay?" She nodded.
He handed her a piece of paper with a list of classes written down on it. "This is your schedule. Funny thing about sending in applications over the internet. They seem to have computers smart enough to place you in classes right away. And you're lucky, you got almost all my classes." "Cool," she shrugged.
During the course of 2 hours, Ryou gave her a map, explained to her different things, and ate cereal while her and Bakura chatted it up. They watched the early morning news before it was time to go.
.
The bell rang for all students to get to homeroom. What a living hell that turned out to be for Lucia. She had been put in the office in the morning for punching a kid and two minutes after the bell rang, that evil wench of a secretary let her go to class.
'Finally! God, because of her I'm going to be late on my first day!' Lucia screamed in her head, finding her way to the classroom. She ran into the room just as the bell rang, narrowly escaping being tardy. She stood inside the door for a moment, waiting for the teacher to realize that she was the new student. 'What a brainless--'
Her thoughts were interrupted by a cheerfully strict teacher who snapped at the class, "Class, I'd like you to meet our new student. Lucia Bakura." Lucia smiled at Ryou as she ignored the whispers from her fellow classmates. "Ooo, she's hot." One guy whispered to his friends who all laughed and high fived each other. 'Idiots.'
"Oh, she's related to that weirdo, Ryou. And Bakura, too!" Lucia shot an evil glare towards the preppy little bitch that said that. She took her seat next to Ryou and sighed. "Welcome to your first day of hell," some guy turned back and whispered to her. She gave a weak little grin and nodded his way, sniffing in disdain.
"I already don't like it here." She whispered to Ryou who giggled and whispered back, "It'll be ok. You have Bakura and I, so it shouldn't be all that bad." He wanted to hug her and tell her it was ok, but he held back.
The next two periods ended up terribly. Lucia was starting to curse herself more and more for even deciding to come.
After fourth period, lunch time rolled around and she thanked every higher power she could think of as she marched off to get a tray and wait in line. "School sucks," she said to no one in particular as she got her lunch and paid the woman.
'Now I remember why I dropped out in the first place.' she thought as she sat down next to Bakura.

Ariku: Heehee… I made this chapter long because I have school tomorrow and I most likely won't keep up with my frequent updates. Well, it'll give me time to figure out where I want to go with this. Woooo, 11:25 p.m.! That means it took me… around seven hours to write this.
