Every time I read this chapter, I think to myself, Poor Ryou, he must have it hard...y'know what I mean? And it's like, he just disappeared in the series, you haven't seen him since Yami Bakura's duel with Yami Marik on Seto's blimp during Battle City...poor, poor Ryou...getting written out of the story like that...and if you've seen the Japanese version...what happened to him after Battle City...?
Disclaimer note: STOP PESTERING ME! I OWN NOTHING!! ARGH!!
On with the story!
Chapter 6: Ryou's Story"Why Me...?"
Ryou Bakura sat at his desk sulking. He did not know what to write, or why he was even in detention. I bet this has something to do with my yami! Darn you, Bakura!! Why do these things always happen to me?
A few rows away, Honda was muttering something. Since it was inaudible to Ryou, he didn't worry about it. Seconds later, he caught Jonouchi throwing an eraser at Honda to quiet his muttering. "Shaddap!!" he whispered loudly.
Ryou ripped a sheet of paper from his binder, picked up his pencil, and started writing.
This is Ryou's story:
"People think my life is boring. Just because I'm the quiet boy who always sits in the back of the room. Well, I've got news for you! My life is far from boring!
I must be cursed with a string of bad luck, because ever since my father gave me the Millennium Ring, nothing but bad things have happened! I mean, my Millennium spirit, Bakura, is evil. It's not right! How come Yugi's spirit is cool and mine is evil!!? It's just not right.
My weekend was the pits. I woke up and brushed my teeth and the whole bit, when Bakura says, 'I want to do something evil today!'
And I told him 'No! We are going to stay home today and play a nice, peaceful game of snakes and ladders!'
And we did. That is, if you count playing a 'Shadow Game' version of snakes and ladders nice and peaceful!
Finally I couldn't take it anymore!! I said, 'Alright, have it your way.'
So Bakura takes control of me and he hops onto my Go-Ped and goes to the park, where he knocks kids off of swings, takes candy from little babies, and tags the playground equipment with the Millennium symbol (Eye of Horus). And he HAD to use RED paint! Why couldn't he use green? At least green is a pretty color!
Later that day, we got into some crap with Yami Marik. The reason I know this is because I heard them arguing, and like the fool I am, I tried to break them up.
I was found later that day, beat up and mangled, by none other than Jonouchi and Mai. Curse you Bakura [and I have no clue why Jonouchi and Mai were together...really...]
I'm surprised I'm even out of the hospital. If we weren't at school now, I'd show him a thing or two! I honestly think it's HIS fault we're all in detention!...that, and the fact that Otogi tackled Honda.
I go to bed at night thinking the same thing...why did I get stuck with Bakura? Why does he insist on getting me in trouble (sure pick on the quiet guy, I'm an easy target!)? And why oh WHY do bad things always happen to me? Oh, woe is me!!"
At this point, Ryou was so sick of writing that he decided to just call it quits. He put his head down on his desk and took a nap.
In his sub-conciousness, he heard the 'fwink' of an eraser and someone's loud whisper: "Shaddap!!"
He also heard the sound of someone trying to keep himself from laughing hysterically.
End Chapter Six
Ah, yes, Ryou...poor fool...I really pity him, only because Bakura's a jerk. But Bakura's just one of those cool jerks, y'know? I like him better than his hikari (the evil laugh always gets to me...I love those evil bad guy laughs!!)
Coming next chapter: Speaking of cool jerks, Chapter Seven's feature story was written by everyone's favorite teenage CEO, Seto Kaiba. Ja ne!
