Kat: looooooooong time no see, minna...
Bakura: yeah, what the hell took you so long?
Kat: I just started high school last Monday, the 16th. I'm in 9th grade now and it takes up time. Before that, I had summer school.
Bakura: so? Summer school ended like a month before school started, so why didn't you write then?
Kat: because, I didn't have time....
Bakura: you had time to write and post a lot of poetry on, did you not?
Kat: shut up... and i'm sorry for the formatting....since took away the way i do the formatting, this'll hafta do....bold is going to be mind link for Bakura and (bold) will be Ryou, okay? oh, and emphasis is in italics now, and dreams are italicized.
---Chapter 3: Where are we going?---
---Ryou dragged Bakura down the street. "Yadonushi, tell me where we are going. Now!" Bakura growled. Ryou simply shook his head without looking back to Bakura.
---The two stopped at the entrance to Starbuck's. "What do we need coffee for, Hikari?" Bakura asked, following Ryou inside. "You don't have to get coffee, but I thought you'd like to try something that I get every time I come here. Now, just sit there." Ryou said, pointing to a table. He walked up to the counter and told the lady what he wanted, gave her the money and waited for his order.
---Ryou turned around and looked at Bakura, who was sitting impatiently at one of the little cafe tables and grumbling something. "Here you are, sir. Have a nice day." The lady said, placing Ryou order on the counter. "Thank you." Ryou said and walked over to the table with the stuff and sat across from his yami.
---Bakura looked up at Ryou then at the items on the table. Ryou handed Bakura a vanilla crème frappicino with whipped cream and chocolate on top, along with a piece of chocolate cake. "Try it. I know you're not a big fan of coffee, so it has none in it. It's what I get all the time when I come here." He said, handing Bakura a straw and a fork for the cake.
---Bakura took the drink and looked at it for a second. Then he popped the straw in it and took a drink. Ryou looked at Bakura. "careful now, or else you'll get brain freeze." He said, trying to shove away very nasty thoughts from his mind.
---Bakura placed the drink on the table and sighed. "what's wrong?" Ryou asked. "nothing. So, what's the cake for?" Bakura replied. "to eat of course." The Hikari replied. Bakura shrugged and picked up the fork he was handed.
---Ryou looked at Bakura, like he wanted Bakura to say something. Bakura looked over to his Hikari and blinked. "what the hell are you fucking staring at?" he snapped, causing Ryou to jump. "g-gomen nasai..." Ryou muttered, bowing his head.
---Bakura sighed. "no, it's okay. What did you want?" he asked. Ryou shook his head. "nothing, never mind." Ryou said quietly. Bakura sighed. "whatever. Are we done here?" he asked. Ryou nodded silently and they stood up to leave.
---"Let's go to the school. The view from the roof is really nice and since no one's there, we'll--" Ryou immediately stopped talking. Bakura looked over to his Hikari. "be alone?" he asked, knowing what the Hikari didn't want to say. Ryou blushed slightly, but turned his head to look into the windows of little shops.
---"it's fine. I don't care. If you want to go, then let's go." Bakura said, taking notice on how Ryou's eyes lit up as the young boy turned his face to look at him. "Let's go then!" the smaller of the two said happily and took off running towards Domino High. Bakura sighed. "I'm going WAAAY too soft on him..." he muttered and chased after his Hikari.
---Ryou stopped running when he reached the fence at the back of the school. Bakura caught up a few seconds later. "Don't run off like that, Yadonushi." Bakura scolded. "gomen nasai, yami..." Ryou said quietly, head bowing. Bakura sighed once again. "whatever....let's just go." He said and followed his Hikari over the fence and up the stairs to the roof.
---Ryou stood in front of the chain-link fence and looked out over the city. "it's so peaceful up here..." he whispered. Bakura nodded and sat down, his back against the fence. He pulled his knees up to his chest and rested his head on his knees. Soon, he drifted off to sleep.
(A dream is a dream....)
---Ryou and Bakura were walking together, Ryou dragging Bakura by the hand. "Yadonushi! Where are we going?" he asked, not liking the idea of being dragged around at all. "You'll see! I cant tell you or else it wont be a surprise!" Ryou said happily.
---After about 20 minutes of walking and Bakura's complaints and demands, Ryou finally stopped walking at an old worn out iron gate. "What's going on? Why are we stopping here? What is this place?" the puzzled yami asked.
---Ryou let go of Bakura's hand and turned to him. "That, yami, is a real haunted house, or so I've heard. I've always wanted to come here, but I was always too afraid to go anywhere near it. I guess I AM a pussy, as you so call me when I get scared." Ryou replied, looking back to the house.
---The house was a very old, very large and eerie Victorian-esque house made of deep gray stone. The drive way and walls were covered in ivy, the stone was breaking apart, and the windows were dusty and some were broken. Ryou paled as he stared at the house. Bakura smirked and put his hands around the rusted bars of the gate. "no turning back now, Yadonushi." He said, noticing Ryou pale even more.
---Ryou gulped and followed Bakura as the spirit pushed open the gates and walked up the driveway. Bakura stood in front of the door when he heard Ryou scream loudly. "what is it now, Hik- Yadonushi?" the thief looked around for Ryou, but saw no sign of him.
---"Oh, this is just fucking fantastic..." the ancient spirit muttered. Yadonushi? Where the hell are you? he asked via mind link. (Bak....lp me...) Came a weak voice. Bakura growled. what the fuck is going on?! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?! Oh yes, Bakura was angry alright.
---(th....got.....me...) was Ryou's broken-up reply. Bakura growled. 'How the hell did they get him? Wait, who got him...?' he wondered. He very quickly found out how Ryou disappeared when he took a step backwards and fell through a very deep hole.
---Bakura's screams echoed off the walls as he fell deeper into the abyss. Finally, he hit the hard ground below him with a sickening thud. His vision turned red, then turned to black, and he lost all feeling and felt his life slowly slipping away...
(And nothing more...right?)
---"Bakura! Bakura-sama, wake up!" Ryou voiced called out. Bakura felt himself being shaken and his head snapped up quickly. "oh, thnk god, Bakura! You freaked me out!" Ryou said, sighing in relief. Bakura looked over at his Hikari, his breathing heavy.
---"What happened?" he asked. Ryou blinked. "you fell asleep. Then you started freaking out and getting angry....then you started screaming. And suddenly, you stopped everything all together. Breathing, moving, even your heart practically stopped! So, really, I should the one asking you what happened." Ryou said.
---Bakura shook his head. "I'm not sure...you were dragging me somewhere but you said I'd hafta wait and see where we were going. Then we stopped at this huge haunted house place and when we went up to the door, you screamed and disappeared...I tried to figure out what the hell happened so I tried to contact you over the mind link, but your words were all messed up, so I couldn't really understand you..."
---"Then I fell into some really dark hole or an abyss or something. Then I hit rock bottom, literally...my vision went red then faded to black and I felt like I was dying..." Bakura said, his eyes turning distant. "I never did figure out happened really. But my head hurts like shit now because of that." He said, shaking his head slightly.
---He put his hand to his forehead and stood up. Ryou stood up as well. "this was supposed to be a thank you for you being honest, but it turns out that I caused you to have a nightmare...I'm sorry....let's just go home..." he said and started back towards the stairs.
---Bakura followed Ryou in silence. 'what was that dream about? Why did I suddenly have it? I 'm so damned confused...' he sighed inwardly. 'why did I even try to contact him?' he wondered and closed his eyes. 'i'm going soft because of him...he'll be the death of me...'
