A/N: I decided to continue the story! (People who've heard/read House Not Home (version one) glare at Funky) ...Sorry! I did a bit of revision, and I've decided to put the whole story back! The WHOLE story!
Chapter 2: Define
Bakura walked into his and Ryou's house. His body welcomed the warmth as it touched his wet and cold skin. His mood became slightly better, he was happy to be out of the rain and cold. All the lights were on in his house. Ryou was sitting in the living room with two books and a notebook. He would look in the skinner book and write a little in his notebook, than look at the thicker book and write a lot in his notebook. Bakura watched him repeat this two or three times, until curiosity overcame him. "Ryou, what the hell are you doing?" he said making himself sound tough, despite his better-than-normal mood. Ryou jerked his head up and looked at Bakura. Bakura narrowed his eyes, "I said what are you doing?"
"I'm, um, doing homework." Bakura growled.
"I can see that. What kind of homework?"
"Uh, vocabulary."
"What is that?"
"I-I have to look up words in the dictionary and, uh, write their definition down," Ryou answered nervously, he didn't want to make Bakura mad at him. Bakura stared back at Ryou. Ryou turned his head, to unlock himself from Bakura's glare, and started writing again.
Bakura watched him write for a minute then growled lightly and walked into his room. He changed into a white t-shirt and shorts. He turned off the light in his room and fell onto his bed. He stared at the ceiling. 'Ryou didn't notice I was soaking wet. He doesn't care.' He slammed his fist down on his bed. 'Hmph! Why am I surprised? No one cares.' He suddenly thought 'I wonder what the real definition of evil is?'
He stood up and went into the living room. Ryou was writing in his notebook, the skinny and fat book were still open in front of him. "Ryou I need to use the dictionary, now.
"Uh, I'm sorry but I'm using it still." Bakura growled. "But you can go on the internet. Just type in the keyword dictionary and AOL's online dictionary will pop up," Ryou added quickly. Bakura turned and walked into his room and slammed the door. He went online and to AOL's online dictionary. He typed in evil and the definition came up:
Main Entry: 1 evil
Pronunciation: 'E-v&l, British often & US also 'E-(")vil
Function: adjective
1 a: morally reprehensible: SINFUL, WICKED an evil impulse b: arising from actual or imputed bad character or conduct a man of evil reputation
2 a: archaic: INFERIOR b: causing discomfort or repulsion: OFFENSIVE an evil odor c: DISAGREEABLE woke late and in an evil temper
3 a: causing harm: PERNICIOUS the evil institution of slavery b: marked by misfortune: UNLUCKY
At first he looked at it blankly. He finally got the courage to read it. He saw the function: adjective 'Evil is used to describe something.' He smirked. 'Makes sense.' He then got to part 1b: arising from actual or imputed bad character or conduct a man of evil reputation . "What the hell does imputed mean?! Ra! What's the point of looking up the definition of one word when you have to look up others? It's some kind of damn scheme!" Bakura shouted in rage. He sighed and looked up imputed:
Main entry: 1 imputed
Function: verb
1: to lay responsibility or blame, often falsely or unjustly.
2: to credit a person or a cause.
Bakura read the definition of imputed and then re-read the definition of evil part 1b. He chuckled to himself. 'This description of evil fits me so perfectly. Arising from an unjustly or falsely blamed conduct.' He chuckled, louder now. "I was wrong." He spoke with a bit of sarcasm. "I was wrong, I am evil." He laughed out loud. Suddenly there was a knock on Bakura's door. He heard Ryou's muffled voice from the other side of the door. "Bakura can you, uh, log off, I need to call Yugi about-"Bakura threw open the door, out raged that he had been disturbed. "What!?"
"I was wondering if you could... please-"
"How dare you disturb me?" Bakura grabbed Ryou by the collar. He growled, but set him back down.
"..."
"Idiot." Ryou looked up at Bakura with fear. He was trembling. Bakura's eyes softened slightly. "Ryou, are you scared of me?" Ryou was still standing there paralyzed with fear. He slowly nodded, he was scared of him. Bakura turned back into his room and slammed the door. He logged off the internet; he slammed the lights off and jumped into bed. Bakura could hear Ryou on the phone.
"Hey Yugi, it's me, Ryou . . . I was wondering if I could I, uh, could stay at your house tonight because- . . . yeah . . . okay I'll be over in a minute. Bye." He heard the phone hang-up. A few moments later he heard the front door shut.
Bakura stared at the ceiling. 'Hmph. I don't care about Ryou. I don't care that he's scared of me.' He said, lying to himself. Tears came to his eyes. 'I don't care what anyone thinks.' He closed his eyes and drifted to sleep.
A/N: I got the definition of evil from AOL's online dictionary, and the definition of imputed from Webster's Dictionary.
