Bakura yawned and smiled at the small boy that lay curled against him.
"Hikari?" he murmured. "Wake up."
Ryou merely shifted and gently let out a mewl, similar to a kittens. Bakura sighed and gently prodded Ryou. Poke. Poke. Ryou batted the hand in his sleep. Bakura smirked and started tickling his poor hikari. Ryou woke up quickly.
"What was that for?" he asked reproachfully.
"You wouldn't wake up. It's 7: 15 my dear hikari. "Bakura laughed.
Ryou bolted out of bed.
"Already?" He hastily pulled on one of his green jackets over his slightly rumpled but still clean t-shirt. His blue jeans were slightly faded but who cares, right?
He ran downstairs but tripped and fell down the stairs.
"Ouch!" he hissed in pain. Bakura raced down the stairs.
/Ryou! Are you all right/ He asked urgently.
/yeah, I'm ouch fine yami/
Bakura snorted and knelt by his Ryou. /Like hell you are/ He gently examined Ryou's leg which didn't look too well. His ankle was twisted as well as several bruises.
"I can heal the cuts but the rest is beyond me. Now if it was fractured..." he laughed at Ryou's horrified expression.
"Oh shut up. I was joking." Ryou shut his mouth.
"Sorry."
"Whatever, now don't you have something called school to go to?" he asked.
"Cripes! See ya 'Kura!" he shouted, running out the door. His eye twitched slightly.
"Did he just call me 'kura?" he asked himself. "Hmmm, 'Kura, doesn't sound too bad." His eye twitched at the sound of that infernal bird outside. "But only Ryou can call me that! Ya hear me?"
Meanwhile, as our Ryou is at school:
"Ryou man! Ya all right?" the slight limp didn't improve as he was immediately glomped by several fangirls at once. It gave Ryou a headache, and to make matters worse, one of them had to step on his foot with those huge pointy heel weapons that they call shoes.
So now Jou was trying to see if he was all right and bruising Ryou's arm. He sighed.
"Yes Jou, I'm perfectly fine as you can see. I just sprained my ankle because I missed a step on the stairs."
Jou and Honda frowned. "Ya sure man? It looks like a person did this." Ryou's smile became strained.
"Guys, seriously, you're overreacting. I just sprained an ankle. Nothing really."
Yugi and Malik appeared, chatting about something almost seriously. Actually, Yami, not Yugi, was talking fast and Malik was getting seriously ticked about something. (he came back over the weekend. It was a Friday)
"I'm telling you Pharaoh! He's not like that! He has more honor and he knows how to fuckin' love!"
Ryou stared at Malik for a second. "Hey Ry!" Malik shouted. "Long time no see bud!"
Ryou grinned slightly. "You too."
:Ryou-chan! Friend! I've heard everything! I just want you to know I'm here and."
"Man! Tell Bakura to lay off you man."
"Tell us if he does anything bad to ya:
"Wat da hell is dat bruise on your arm man? Man! That's brutal!" These accusations swirled through Ryou's mind.
/Shut up/ he thought fiercely.
Ryou? You all right Aibou?Bakura sent worriedly.
/I'm fine Bakura/
The accusations grew louder, more annoying. Heat ran through Ryou's pale body so he looked like he was blushing. "Stop." He whispered. "Be quiet." Suddenly, his control vanished at the last statement.
"Bakura is such a heartless jerk! He doesn't even care about you Ryou!"
"SHUT UP!" he shouted. "JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP! I DON"T CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY! IT IS UP TO ME TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD CARE FOR BAKURA SO JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU CAN GO STICK YOUR HEADS WHERE THE SUN DON"T SHINE PEOPLE! YOU CAN GO TO HELL FOR All THE FUCK I CARE! SO JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE!"
Everyone stared at him. Never had they heard Ryou be so violent with his words. And all for the bastard Bakura? No no no no! They must have done something wrong!'
Anzu opened her mouth.
"Ryou, we're only your friends but we forgive you for being so mean. Don't worry; we'll take care of Bakura for you. You've given up, haven't you?"
Ryou glared at her, a glare nearly worthy of Bakura. "Shut the hell up Bitch." He snarled, his voice cold and angry. "I have no time for your little matrimony. No, don't even bother reasoning with me. I am angry Anzu."
"But, he's just a bastard, he hurts you and-"Ryou slapped her.
"Shut up." Suddenly weary, he fainted, collapsing on the ground. His eyes rolled into his head and his breathing became shallow.
Bakura suddenly materialized. "Ryou? What the hell just happened?" he saw Ryou on the ground and suddenly glared. "All right, which one of you punks did this?"
"Shut up tomb robber!" Yami shouted, still in control of Yugi. "We know you do far worse than abuse his words!"
Bakura's eyes glittered. "How dare you be so stupid pharaoh! I care for the little one, unlike you who neglects your light to go off frolicking around, playing games and forgetting about him!"
Yami glared at Bakura. "What does it matter what I do?" he cried out.
"Same goes to you pharaoh! You have no right to accuse me of anything!"
Yami and Bakura glared at each other as Jou and Honda started to creep up on Bakura.
"Malik, take care of the two goons behind me please." They stopped and stared at each other in shock.
"H-how?"
"You goons are so predictable." Bakura scoffed. "Malik, make sure they don't get in the way and shove that girl in the locker or something."
"Yami, Ryou is mine to care for, and mine alone. As much as you think you are in the right, it is I who should be. You neglect your hikari and by that, you commit the worst crime of all. Not caring for the one you swore to protect. So pay more attention to your little light, and leave mine alone." Bakura knelt down and gently lifted his hikari into his arms.
"Goodbye Pharaoh." Bakura snarled. "So long Malik, come visit Ryou, will ya? He misses you."
With that, he transported Ryou into the ring and ran out of the school grounds.
Yugi blinked as he was given control over his body again. "What was that about?"
/Bakura / Ryou asked. /What am I doing at home/
/you fainted. I brought you home cause the others were giving you a hard time./
/Oh/ Ryou relaxed against the pillows on his bed. He picked up a book and was about to start reading when the doorbell rang.
"Ryou?" Bakura shouted. "Can you get that for me? I'm having trouble with the man eater bug!"
"Sure thing Bakura!" Ryou dragged himself out of bed and slowly made his way down the stairs (carefully, he still has a sprained ankle) and held onto the hall rail for support. When he came to the door, he unlatched the many locks opened it. In the door way stood a dripping Yugi.
"Yugi?" Yugi looked at the ground. When he finally looked up, Ryou could see that his beautiful purple eyes were quivering with sorrow.
He finally spoke in a broken voice. "How did he know?"
