Raen pulled the dusty linen on over her head. It itched and smelled like something had died in it. Reikai seemed perfectly contented here. She had already left with Bakura, who appeared to be Ryou's yami. If both he and Ryou had been pulled back here along with Reikai and I, then, as Ryou had said, Yugi and Yami must be back here as well Raen figured.
Ryou peeked in. "Ready yet?"
"As ready as I'll ever be," Raen returned with a sigh. Bakura had told them to head towards the edge of town. He would meet them there, but he and Reikai had to run some 'errands'. Lately, Raen had been wondering why her yami seemed so intent on 'taking the body for a spin'. Now she had a body all to herself.
As they walked out into the alleyway, the street immediately came alive. People shoved and jostled, fighting to get to their destination. Most were wearing robes, though some seemed content with a loincloth. Ryou and Raen had to stay close in order to not be separated. There were many edges of town, but at least Bakura had been specific. The place they were going to stay at was an old temple, used to worship a god that was long gone from the Egyptian way.
The closer they got to the edge of town, the more the crowd thinned out. Soon, there were only a few others besides them, entering or leaving town. Raen really had no clue what the edge of town was. They had reached what appeared to be the edge of town. Out in the distance, a bit away from the town, was the faint outline of a temple. Raen sighed and began to trudge out there. There seemed to be no worn path, for it was far enough away from the town that the sand had blown over any footprints.
Bakura was waiting at the gate. If you could call it a gate. The sand smoothed stone pillars looked like a long time ago, they had fallen into each other and stayed that way. Bakura leaning against one nonchalantly, his green eyes closed. Reikai was nowhere to be seen.
"I found Yugi. You seemed to have been right, Ryou. For once," he added in an undertone. Ryou put on a pouting face. "He's inside, changing. He stuck out like a sore thumb as well." Raen let out something between a snort and a sigh.
Yugi popped his head out the doorway, looking embarrassed. "I'm going for a walk. I would recommend you sleep. The best time to get out is during the night," Bakura said, walking away in silence. Raen strutted inside, followed by Ryou. Yugi was already inside. Raen immediately curled up in a corner, falling asleep instantly.
"So, what happened to you?" Ryou asked casually, laying down. He flicked a beetle off his chest, rolling over to face Yugi. Yugi blushed.
"I woke up... naked," he mumbled, practically inaudible. Ryou's eyes widened. He seemed somewhere between laughing and gasping. "And then I had to beat someone over the head for a loincloth." He did not seem in the least proud about this. There was a sudden fit of laughter from in the corner where Raen lay. She had not, apparently, been asleep. Yugi hid his head, though Ryou didn't blame him, it was funny. Raen couldn't help to let out a few more snickers.
