"What are we going to do about Ryou?" Anzu asked. It was after school, and everyone (except for Ryou, of course..we all know he was home getting the shit knocked out of him) was at Yuugi's house, sitting at the dining table. They were home alone, Yuugi's Grandpa was somewhere picking up an order, and wouldn't be home until late.
Honda shrugged, sitting down at the table after he had just gotten up to make himself some coffee, "We can just let him do it, ya know? Like he said, it's not real distructive, it can't kill him.."
Yuugi nodded, "Yes it can, Honda, eventually, it probobaly will.."
"How so?"
"Well...most people that cut themselves either just stop, or somehow die in the end...either suicide, or they accidently cut too deep."
Anzu sighed, "Well...first, to make him stop, we have to figure out WHY he's cutting himself in the first place. No one does it, just because. They always have some sort of reason...we need to find out Ryou's reason"
"Well...he lives alone, were his only friends, and he gets bullied alot, so isn't that a good enough reason?" Jonouchi spoke up.
"But remember, Ryou's really popular with the girls, even though he doesn't like it, nearly every single girl in our grade has a crush on him...so it's not like he's totally ignored" Honda reminded the blonde.
"Wait...his Ring! Ryou's Yami! I bet that's it!" Yuugi exclaimed.
Anzu blinked, looking at him, "But..what does he have to do with any of this?"
"I don't know, but I just have this feeling that that's the reason, that somehow Bakura is the cause of all this..."
For a while, everyone was silent, thinking over what Yuugi just said. Ryou never mentioned his yami, and no one really blamed him...Bakura (in their opinion, since they didn't REALLY know Bakura, like Ryou did) was just plain creepy and cruel.
After about ten minutes of thoughtful silence, Jonouchi broke it, "I say tomorrow, after school, we follow Ryou home and spy on him...see what he does"
Anzu raised an eyebrow, "And...how do you expect we do that without Ryou seeing us? After all, he DOES live in an apartment, so we can't use windows to peek through"
Jonouchi opened his mouth to talk and took a deep breath, as if he was about to make some big statement, but instead just said, "I...don't...know...."
Everyone rolled their eyes and gave a loud groan. So typical of Jonouchi to make empty opinions and ideas.
"Maybe we could ask him about it..." Honda said, shrugging at the idea.
"But do you really think he'll tell us? I mean...if Bakura is REALLY is the cause of all this, don't you think Ryou would have said something about it before?" Yuugi said, pointing out the obvious.
Another long silence, this time on how to make Ryou spill the beans, Jonouchi broke it...again, "I say we pin him against a locker, threatening to beat him up if he doesn't tell us!" He said boldly, puffing out his chest, obviously very proud of what he just said.
But that just made Jonouchi recieve odd stares from the other three, with Honda's mouth partially open, Anzu with an eyebrow raised, looking like Jonouchi was dancing with penguins and radishes were growing out of his ears, and Yuugi a slight look of disbelief on his face as he sighed, patting Jonouchi across the back, "Jonouchi...remember who were talking about here...Ryou...he's our friend, remember?
Jonouchi sighed, "Damn...shot down again..."
"Maybe you just...shouldn't talk anymore, Jonouchi.." Anzu said, flashing him a sheepish smile.
"Well, at least I'm suggesting stuff! " Jonouchi argued, but everyone just sighed.
"No idea is better then a bad idea, Jonouchi..." Honda said, frowning.
Yuugi just looked at everyone, "okay, back to the topic about Ryou's...er...problem"
Anzu nodded, "I say we talk to the school counslor..."
Jonouchi's eyes bulged, "What? That old lady who's always like, 'tell me about your problems, dearie..' Hell no! she's too creepy...god....she makes Malik's yami look sane..." He shuddered.
Anzu rolled her eyes, "That doesn't matter, though! I didn't care if it was Malik himself, as long as they can help Ryou..."
"But she's creepy...."
"Jonouchi......what did we say about talking?"
"Er...don't?"
"Very good. Now shut up."
A little while later, Yuugi's Grandpa got home, and everyone had to leave. After saying there goodbyes and thank you's, Yuugi closed the door after Anzu, the last person to leave, and sighed, "What are we gonna do...?"
~Aibou? You've been upset all day. What's wrong?~ It was Yuugi's yami, obviously.
Yuugi sighed and mentally told Yami what was wrong with Ryou, and that they didn't know what to do to help him.
There was a long silence before Yami finally spoke up, ~Yuugi, I think I may have an idea...one that just might work pretty well...it's worked before, I know, and I'm hoping it'll work now...~
Yuugi's hopes rose, ~Really, yami? Thanks soo much! What is it?~
The boy sat down on the couch as he listened to his yami explain his plan...

From the Authoress: Yes, I know, that took a while, and I'm sorry...i've just been busy lately....even though everyone says I'm just lazy, my mind has been busy. But anyways, I'll TRY to update sooner, because I now have three after school activities, not including my Ra-Damned Psyciatrist. I have Volleyball, I'km a Townsperson (1 of 40!) in the Spring Musical, "The Music Man" And I also have Year Book Staff, which I utterly dispise. Soo...make me happy and Review lots, guys!
