Phew, the storm is gone. I mean the storm here in the Netherlands. Ryou's hurricane is still blowing. (evil grin)

Ryou: HAAAAAAAAACHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Ryou-Ran: Speaking of coincidence...

Yami Bakura: (is nervously sitting on a chair) Will someone please tell me when she arrives?

Ryou: Who do you mean, Yami?

Yami Bakura: Hikari Lunar. She is maybe going to take a bite from my leg.

Yami: Well, I'm not going to tell you. You deserve it.

Yugi: Why don't we all play a game of duck-duck-goose?

Everybody: --"

Door: knock knock

Yami Bakura: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! (launches himself and creates a third Yami Bakura-shaped hole in the Ryou-proof ceiling)

Tristan: (opens the door) Did someone order blood-flavored ice-cream?

Yami Bakura: (lets himself fall out of the Ryou-proof ceiling) Yeah, I did. (grabs ice-cream, sends delivery-boy to Shadow Realm)

Joey: What was that good for?

Yami Bakura: Now I don't have to pay. (spoons cream into his mouth)

Téa: I like ice-cream.

Yami Bakura: (gives her a spoonfull)

Téa: Yummy, blood-flavoured ice! (eats together with Yami Bakura)

Everybody: OO"

Ryou-Ran: You have fun eating, I'm going to start the fic again. Joey, you do the disclaimer.

Joey: Okay, watch the master! (places hands in his sides and hops around on one leg) Ryou-Ran does not onw Yu-Gi-Oh!, from your Aa-Yaa-Yipee-Yipee-YAY! (Dutch song)

Ryou: OO"

Ryou-Ran: Here we go again.

Hard Wind Brings Darkness With It

"Bakura!"Yugi shouted and went after Ryou. Ryou was faster than him and Yugi lost him, but found him again. He found Ryou in the toilet-room, where he was throwing up. Ryou had not heared him and was shocked when he suddenly felt a little hand on his shoulder. He looked up and saw Yugi's face, tried to smile, but quickly turned his head when another wave of nausea hit him. Yugi rubbed his back again and got him a glass of water. Ryou drank the water and stood. "Thank you, Yugi."he said. "I feel much better now." The ship reeled to port, causing Ryou to almost fall. He was leaning heavily on Yugi's shoulder when they appeared again.

People were running around in panick and some had even leapt off the ship in despair. Joey's, Yugi's and Ryou's nerves were breaking too and Yami decided to come out. "Listen. It is important that we all stay together. We can not lose each other."he said. "We should go back to our huts and wait." Joey almost exploded. "Wait for what!?"he screamed. "Wait until this stupid overgrown bath-thub has sank?!" Ryou joined in shouting, but the wind drowned out his voice. "LISTEN!"Yami shouted. "Calm down! We are going to walk back to our hut. We will hold each other's hand, then everything will be...", a big splash of water hit him in the face. "...fine..."he ended his sentence, face dripping with water. The others could not help laughing. This moment of levity gave them strength. Yami walked on top, holding Téa's hand. Téa held Joey's, Joey held Ryou's and Ryou held Tristan's.

Suddenly a big group of people appeared. They ran into the flank of the group of teens. A big woman hit Ryou so he rolled over the floor and crashed into a steel fence. His head hit a sharp corner. He let out a soft cry and fell onto his side. Téa fell onto her behind and slid into a room and Yami, who was the smallest, was literally knocked flying. Only Tristan and Joey managed to remain on their feet.

Téa came out of the room with electric wires in her hair. Yami climbed out of a life-boat. He had a nasty graze on his arm. Ryou did not move. His back was turned at the gang. Joey approached him and was alarmed when he saw there were some splatters of blood besides Ryou's head. When he turned him to his back he gasped. Ryou's face was as white as his hair. Blood oozed from a wound on his forehead. His big eyes were shut. "Yugi?"Joey cried. "Bakura's out!" Yami, Tristan and Téa, who limped, came standing behind him. Yami lifted one of Ryou's eyelids up and saw Ryou's eyes had turned away. "He's got a concussion. At least."he said. He tried to attract the attention of the people and crewmembers around him, but they were way to scared to even notice there was an unconscious boy lying on the floor, while all the blood of the world was pouring down his cheek. "We'll bring him to our quarters by ourselves."Joey said. "Come on." Tristan carefully lifted Ryou up, while Joey supported Ryou's head. A man accidentally ran into Tristan, and hit Ryou's head with his elbow, but Ryou did not even flinch. Téa and Yami exhanged glances. Ryou was even further away than they thought he was. They carefully brought him to their hut and lay him down on Yugi's bed.

Téa found a first aid kit under Joey's bed and got a few bandages and cloths out. She poured water over the cloth and tried to clean Ryou's wound. Ryou's face remained absolutely motionless. He did not move, did not groan, all he did was breathing and bleeding. Téa removed the cloth and wrapped a tight bandage around Ryou's head. The gang formed a circle around him. Tristan happened to own a light that could be activated by squeezing it rapidly. He squeezed the light, while they were sitting around Ryou's bed. They could not hear the storm in there. All they could hear was Ryou breathing and the light.

"Wait."Yami suddenly said. He went with his hand into Ryou's shirt. When the hand came out he had a thin, brown cord between his fingers. "That's the..."Joey began, but Yami silenced him and slowly pulled the cord out. The cord was followed by a golden pendant shaped like a ring with five pointers; the Millennium Ring. Yami tried not to touch the Ring, afraid he would wake the spirit living inside it up if he did. He gestured for Téa to open Ryou's bag and let the Ring slip inside. Then Téa closed the bag again. The gang let out a collective sigh. "Now we don't have to be afraid of that stupid ghost bothering us."Joey brusquely said. Tristan began squeezing the light again.

Some hours later the engines were still broken and there were still people running about. Ryou was still unconscious and did not react to anything. "Perhaps he's got brain-damage."Tristan mused, thus getting death-glares from Téa and Joey. Yami stared out of the window, at the waves.

Suddenly the boat reeled sharply to starboard. Ryou slid to the right and his head hit the side of the bed. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"he screamed. Yami grabbed him by the arms and tried to calm him, but Ryou cried and thrashed his body around. His delicate face had turned into a horrible mask of pain.

"Come on, help me!"Yami shouted. "He may hurt himself even more!" The rest of the gang moved in and all grabbed a leg or an arm. Convulsions rocked Ryou's body. After a while he calmed down and fell back into a state of unconsciousness. "Boys, this is serious. We must bring him to a hospital as soon as possible!"Téa said. Yami wiped the sweat from his forehead. "But the radios won't work and the cell phones neither."Joey said. Yami almost asked what radios and cell phones were, but Yugi quickly explained. "We should go get the captain, or something and ask for help."Tristan said. The gang decided Yami would stay with Ryou and the rest would go get the captain.

But inside the bag the Ring had been activated. Yami had tried very hard not to wake the Spirit of the Ring up, but Yami Bakura had been awake since the moment Ryou had hit the fence with his head. He could not see what was going on, but he had heard Yami and the others speak and he had heard Ryou scream. Ryou had been weakened, so Yami Bakura would be able to control his body without losing too much energy. The problem was that that stupid Pharaoh was sitting at Ryou's bedside. He could hardly take over with the Pharaoh present. He had to somehow create a diversion, but he did not know how.

The ship reeled to starboard sharply and the door opened, though nobody came in. Yami Bakura saw his chance and let the bag the Ring was in slide outside. When he had disappeared around the corner he formed a temporary body, gave a strange, high shriek and then went back into the Ring. Yami immediately rushed outside to see if anyone was hurt. He ran around the corner. Yami Bakura promptly transported the Ring to Ryou and activated it. Ryou opened his eyes. His hair grew wilder. His eyes became narrower. Yami Bakura stood from the bed. He slowly walked outside, the Ring hanging down his chest. His idea was perfect. First he would confuse the gang because his host was gone. Then he would lure Yami with him and start a duel. Yami wasn't as cool as Yami Bakura and would be distracted, so Yami Bakura could easily win. Then he could take the Puzzle with him and the Pharaoh would never stand in his way any more.

Yami went back into the hut. "Bakura!"he shouted when he saw Ryou was gone. "Bakuraaaaaaaaa!" Yami Bakura grinned. His hair fell down. His eyes became bigger. His mouth became smaller. Ryou was standing in the corridor. But the mean smirk on the face of the white-haired boy was definetly not Ryou's. His eyes were as big as Ryou's, but they were as cold as stones. He licked a few fangs that stuck out between his lips and made them reduce to normal teeth again. He scraped his throat.

"Yugi... help..." Yami heard a soft moan. He looked around, but could not see where it came from. "My head..."the weak voice again came. "Bakura?"Yami asked. He looked at the door and saw fingers curl themselves around it. A face appeared, a pale face, covered with sweat, with feverish eyes and a blooded bandage around the forehead.
There. Phew, that's done. Hey, a piece of Yami Bakura seems to be missing...

Yami Bakura: (holds the remains of his leg) Oow ooooow... (cries)

Ryou-Ran: What happened to your leg, Yami?

Ryou: We gave Hikari Lunar permission to bite him in the leg, remember?

Ryou-Ran: Yes?

Ryou: Well, she did.

Ryou-Ran: OO"

Yami: That's exactly what that culprit deserves!

Yugi: Geez, are you still holding a grudge because Yami Bakura ate your coockies last week?

Yami: (between clenched teeth) Shut up!

Ryou-Ran: Well, don't worry, Yami, I'll draw you a new leg.

Yami Bakura: R...really?

Ryou-Ran: Of course! (brings out Millennium Pen and Millennium Eraser) There.

Yami Bakura: (leaps up) Wow! Two legs! (jumps of joy, creating Yami-Bakura- shaped-hole-in-the-ceiling number four)

Ryou & Ryou-Ran: --"
