mizurazame: thanks for the review,
ch2.
Ryou woke up but he wasn't where he normally was, which was floating in unending darkness. for some reason or another he was in a forest. but he was confused this wasn't Egypt and he had no idea where he was. all he knew was that somehow he had ended up here. so he bagan walking through this dense forest looking for a way out. he soon noticed the trees begining to thin out as he was walking. once he was out he covered his eye's as he was facing west and it was sunset. he stared out across the horizon scanning his surroundings and nearly cried out. all of the buildings were huge, they were touching the sky.
"ra....they're huge!"
as he was looking he noticed a boy walking through this park along across the sunset. his shoulder length silver hair was glinting in the sunlight. Ryou stared, silver hair? was it possible? he ran closer and stopped when he saw the boy turn around to face him and noted the look of surprise on his face.
"R-ryou? is that really you?"
"B-bakura!"
both stared at each other at a loss for words. then they both began laughing, it was so unbelieveable that they fell on the ground laughing like young girls.
"i can't believe it, your actually here!" Bakura said as he began to calm down.
"i don't understand how i got here or why your here though, you were executed a week ago...."
"hmm was it really only a week ago? then again i woke up here afterwards with a new memory as well as those from my past life."
"are you serious?"
"yeah.....oh how did you die though? i know that your father would never execute you and no one would assassinate you."
"your wrong there. my father disowned me the day before you were executed so i never got to say a final good bye and i never died in the first place. i was trapped in the shadow realm...."
bakura sat bolt upright when he heared this.
"the shadow realm! you were disowned! so that would mean that you wouldn't have any memories from here just our old ones! oh i should uhh probably tell you......Yami's here and he's now the same age as you......uhhh there's another guy who looks like him and uhhh.........lets see here........"
"Y-yami's here!!!!!!!! shit!!!!!!!!! and wait a second, he's the same age as me?"
"yeah he was trapped in the millenium puzzle and then he was let out so yeah.....but that doesn't matter does it?"
"no i guess not. but where am i going to live now that i'm here? i don't have a home to go to....."
"oh! that parts easy! you can live with me and my family! you'll have to go to school though...."
"oh well. at least i'll be good for Egyptian history...."
"that's true! now come on i have to get home like now, stupid curfew....oh well."
so the two ran to Bakura's house and then they walked in.
"uhh mom? dad? i'm home and i have someone here with me...."
"oh welcome home Bakura, who's your friend? and uhh why does he look like you?" asked Bakura's mother.
"my name is Ryou i've know Bakura for a long time but i need a place to live at as my parents have recently dissapeared with no warning as to where they were going."
"oh that's too bad...you can stay here! do you go to school?"
"no i was home schooled until a week ago."
"oh we'll enroll you in Bakura's school, Bakura you can take the day off tomorrow and your two friends Yami and Yugi were looking for you earlier."
"alright thank you mother, for now would it be alright if Ryou stayed in my room until we clear out the other bedroom for him?"
"of course dear! now you two go upstairs and i'll fix us some supper."
the two went upstairs and into Bakura's room, the room was simple, the walls were white and the floor was wooden, on the desk stood a model of the egyptian palace that Ryou used to live in.
"why do you have that?" Ryou asked.
"oh that? that's for my Egyptian History class. oh and you remember that painting? the one that only you, yami and i could actually see? because i re-made it in art class during lunch while the teacher was ocupied and brought it home."
"you did! thank ra!"
"Yami's gonna have a new competitor in class. oh and by the way i'm pretending to be his freind as he's the only one i actually know......"
"so? it's not like it matters really."
"boys suppers ready." Bakura's mom called from the stairs.
"come on Ryou, time to eat."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two days later Ryou walked into the class room with Bakura, the teacher told him to stand infront of the class while he was introduced.
"well students there is someone new joining our class His name is Ryou and he was homeschooled until now. does ayone have any questions?"
only one hand was raised.
"yes Yami?"
"i was just wondering if he knew who was the fifth Egyptian king to be assasinated?"
Ryou stared at the ground as he answered.
"the fifth king to be assasinated was Shinoku Isemaru, he was murdered by a theif and his younger son took the throne after his father, the older son had been disowned three days before hand."
everyone stared at Royu with their mouths hanging open, even the teacher was staring at him. Ryou walked to the back of the class and sat at an empty desk. as he passed Yami their eyes connected and they both knew that there would be no friendship between brothers.
"alright then, lets get started." the teacher announced once Ryou was seated."
the class began but Ryou found it hard to pay attention, this was the stuff he had been studying when he was found missing, it was a good thing he had a great memory or he would have been takeing notes like the rest of the class. at lunch hour he was walking outside when he was dragged into a corner of the school that was unocupied he looked at the person who dragged him there and was surprised to see his younger brother glaring at him.
"Ryou what the hell are you doing here!" he exclaimed anger showing.
"why do you want to know? all i know is that it's because of you that i'm here! if you hadn't told father that i left then this wouldn't have happened in the first place that's all i know!"
"look at least tell me how you got here, i trapped you in the shadow realm, no one can escape from there."
"i have no idea one moment i was floating in darkness another i was standing in a forest."
"crap. look i realized as soon as you were gone why you wanted to leave so badly, being the heir sucked ass, my studies tripled and i wasn't allowed anywhere, it was so unfair."
"now you know how i felt."
"look i can't believe i'm saying this but uhh could we just be friends? or pretend to be for the sake of other people, we don't need a family feud happeneing here."
"that's true"
Ryou looked behind Yami and noticed a shorter Yami standing behind him.
"hey Yami! you talking to the new guy?"
"yes yugi i am now go an find joey for me i need to talk to him."
"uhh.....let see would it be alright if i didn't because if you can't hear the laughing then you won't know that he's hanging from the flag pole by his underwear do you?"
"let me guss tristan and Duke again right?"
"yep! well i'm gonna go laugh see ya later!"
"poor joey...his best friends keep doing that to him...."
Royu stared at his brother in confusion.
"his....best....friends?"
"yep. welcome to the modern age brother."
