Chapter 3
Jade- Hello once again people! Thank you to all of my reviewers, I hope you enjoy the story. This chapter and most chapters after this one are going to include a song. Lyrics are in italics
Bakura- And I would like to congratulate the following people; Joey, Seto, Mokuba, Duke, Tristan, Serenity, Mai and for not being dragged into this living nightmare. I suggest the mentioned people express their condolences to Tea, Yugi, Yami, Sabelina, Marik, Ryou and myself. Thank you for your time.
Marik- claps Nice speech Bakura.
Jade- One, this isn't a nightmare, and two the others will be dragged in later.. evil smirk
Marik- Jade still doesn't own anything. "Invisible" belongs to Clay Aiken or whoever wrote it for him. And pretend in this story, Clay Aiken doesn't exist.
Ryou- Not sure how I got stuck here, but anyway this is the night Yami had the dream from our point of view..
Ryou sighed and picked up his guitar playing around with the notes trying to find a melody. Bakura had left earlier that night to who knows where, to do who knows what. So that left Ryou alone, again, he had asked Marik if he could come over to practice with him. No luck, Marik wasn't there, no doubt out with Bakura.
Whatcha' doing' tonight
I wish I could be a fly on your wall
Are you really alone
Who's stealin' your dreams
Why can't I bring you into my life.
What would it take to make you see that I'm alive.
He pulled out a piece of paper from his notebook and made a few notes, the song he was making was to be played at the Mayflower Club tomorrow night. Marik and Sabelina, Duke and himself played there every other night, on their off days, the club had strippers there. How nice?
If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait.. I already am)
Though he wouldn't admit it to himself, he loved his dark. Perhaps more than just friends, perhaps more than just yami and hikari. He doubted Bakura could understand the concept of love, or maybe it was himself he doubted.. But what if he did? What if Bakura felt love, maybe he could understand it?
Ryou stood up and put his guitar back in it's case, it was already nearly 3:00 am and his dark still wasn't home. He picked up the guitar and sighed, heading up stairs.
Ryou flipped on the radio and fell onto the messy bed, that hadn't been made in who knows how long.. He was almost asleep when he heard the click of the lock on the front door. "Bakura." he whispered before giving into sleep.
Bakura stumbled through the front door, only slightly intoxicated. He figured it was good that Ryou wasn't waiting up for him. How well he remember many times before, Ryou had waited up for him, and being drunk, Bakura seemed to have no control of himself. How he had hurt the kid, both physically and emotionally, he preferred not the remember. All the apologizes in the world couldn't make up for it, that was the main reason he hadn't been drinking recently.
He went into the living room and crashed on the couch, no sense going upstairs and risk waking Ryou..
Saw your face in the crowd
I call out your name
You don't hear a sound
I keep tracing your steps
Each move that you make
Wish I could read what goes through your mind
Wish you could touch me with the colors of your life
Ryou stood in the doorway of his living room, staring at the couch where Bakura had fallen asleep. He strolled over and gently shook his sleeping yami. Bakura stirred slightly, rolling right off the couch. Ryou jumped back just in time to avoid his dark crashing into him.
"Oof! Damn couch." Bakura cursed, rubbing his head. Ryou stifled a giggle as he helped Bakura to his feet. "Why don't you go up to bed?" Ryou suggested quietly. Bakura glared at his light before muttering something under his breath and stumbled up the stairs. A slam of a door indicated Bakura must have taken his hikari's advice.
Ryou flopped down on the couch where his other half had occupied only a few seconds ago. He turned on the T.V. and flipped through the channels absentmindedly. He glanced at the clock above the T.V. "Great. Only 10 a.m. and I'm already bored out of my mind." he complained aloud.
Half an hour later, Bakura came back down. He smirked, seeing Ryou had fallen asleep on the couch. He tip-toed over to the couch and turned off the t.v., careful not to wake his sleeping hikari. Then he left the room, heading to the kitchen, cooking up a delicious recipe for amusement. He filled a cup with icy water, then made his way back to Ryou. He held a devious smirk as he slowly tipped the glass, pouring the water over his light...
Ryou jumped, a startled cry rising from his lips. Bakura was standing above him holding his sides as he laughed at his hikari's reaction. Once Ryou realized what had happened, he giggled and tackled Bakura, who was trying to control his laugher. They both toppled to the ground, Ryou on top. Ryou felt his heart skip a beat and flushed. Bakura saw this and sat up, pulling Ryou closer to him.
"Aw. Why is my little hikari blushing?" Bakura purred. Ryou's blush deepened as he whimpered, struggling to get away. "What was that? I can't hear you." Bakura smirked, holding Ryou tighter against him. Ryou ceased his struggling and gently brushed the silver hair out of Bakura's face, fingers slowly stroking the thief's cheek...
If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
I could just tell you where I standing
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait.. I already am)
Bakura's smirk softened, thought he tried to ignore the tingles of excitement, racing down his spine. Needless to say, he failed, as he took Ryou's face in his hands and kissed him softly. "You're not invisible to me, Ryou." he whispered, his breath tickling Ryou's neck. He stood up pulling Ryou along with him. Ryou shook his head in amazement, sending water droplets flying from his hair.
"Ryou!" Bakura complained, thinking his hikari did it on purpose. "What?" Ryou asked softly seeming slightly startled. Bakura realized he was mistaken, "Nothing. Come on, let's go get something to eat." he stated, grabbing the car keys. He seemed to change his mind and tossed the keys to Ryou, who was barely focused enough to catch them.
"You can drive this time."
"But, 'Kura. You've always complained about my driving before."
"Yeah, well now I'll be able to take a nap before we get there." Bakura joked sliding into the passenger's seat of the black 2004 Mustang Convertible. Ryou slid into the driver's seat and punched Bakura lightly in the arm. "'Kura! I don't drive that slow." he pouted. Bakura chuckled softly, "I know I was just kidding." Ryou started up the car, "Let's go. I'm starving."
Now, one might be wondering how in the world, Ryou and Bakura could possibly afford a 2004 Mustang Convertible. Well, as Bakura explained it to Ryou, being friends with Kaiba had its advantages. Ryou wisely assumed Bakura had found a way to break into Kaiba's bank account and 'borrowed' the money. But Seto, never said anything about missing any money, and they had a cool car, so he couldn't complain..
A five minute normal drive to McDonald's took Ryou about ten minutes where it usually only took Bakura two minutes or less. Kinda hard to miss the difference.
"'Kura. How could you fall asleep withing ten minutes?" Ryou mused, trying to arouse his sleeping passenger. He tugged Bakura's hair gently, Bakura moaned, "Ryou."
After a few seconds, his eyes fluttered open, "Aw.. I was having a good dream." he whined, blinking into the sunlight. "God, it took you fifteen minutes to get here?"
"No, I've spent the last seven minutes trying to wake you up."
"Can't blame me for not wanting to get up."
"Late night?"
"Yeah. So you got a new song to sing tonight?" Bakura asked, getting out of the car. Ryou followed suit, "Yep, but I don't see why we couldn't play last Saturday."
"Well, they must have had their strippers working then."
They were silent until they got their food and sat down. Ryou looked up at Bakura, "You, you didn't go did you?" he asked nervously. "Nah, I didn't. Why? Would it bother you if I did?" His answer was a mumbled 'yes' from Ryou.
I reach out
But you don't even see me
Even when I scream out
Baby, you don't hear me
I am nothing without you
Just a shadow passing through...
"Hey! Ryou, Bakura!" called a high-spirited voice. Ryou's jade orbs scanned the restaurant, as did Bakura's garnet ones. They both spotted the sandy-haired, lavender eyed chatter-box and Bakura groaned softly, hitting his head against the table. Ryou smiled and waved to their friend. "Hey.."
If I were invisible...
If I were invisible...
If I were invisible...
If I were invisible...
If I were invisible..
Jade- Yippee! A cliff hanger! And that is where we will stop today, after all it's late and this is already my longest chapter..
