What a Day!

The thief Bakura was finishing his rounds in the pyramid when he noticed another human present in the building. It was a peasant clad head-to-toe in burlap. She was praying to the dead pharaoh that lay in its depths.

"Oh Great one, please guide me to correctly free this city of my father's wrath," she cried to the statue.

The thief pulled out his dagger and walked past her in the shadows. She lifted her head and looked directly at him.

"You're a tomb robber aren't you…" she muttered.

"What do plan to do about it?" Bakura said as he approached the girl with his dagger pointing at her head.

"Nothing, everyone has to make a living somehow," she said as she took off her hood. The thief took a good look at her deep purple eyes and her long multi-colored hair. She opened her mouth and began to sing, "This love has taken its toll on me. She said goodbye, to many times before."

Ryou opened his eyes and sat straight up in his bed. He glanced at his alarm clock/radio. He let it finish the song before turning it off. Ryou looked around the room and his eyes clouded and the objects got hazy then multiplied.

"Ugh, I can't be sick again. I've never missed a day of school," Ryou complained to the ceiling as he lay back down. Ryou heard a loud crash; it was obviously Bakura getting ready for his day of whatever he does.

Ryou stood up and walked out of the room. In an effort to stand, he put his hand on the wall, and then fell to the floor in dizziness. Rough partials scratched his throat and raced up into his mouth. His cheecks puffed out and he put his hand over his lips to prevent it from soiling the carpet.

Bakura happened to walk by Ryou on his way to find his keys. He sighed and handed Ryou a bucket. Ryou emptied the yellow/green partials into the bucket, then passed out on the floor.

He woke up minutes later, back in bed. Bakura had taped a note to his pillow which read:

Don't go to school today

Don't leave bed

Don't barf in anything other than the bucket

I'll be back at noon with Tacos

Ryou looked at his alarm clock which read 8:25. Bakura wouldn't be home for another 3 ½ hours. He felt so alone and queasy. How dare Bakura leave his side when he so sick like this!

"Why can't I leave the bed?" Ryou asked himself as he scanned the read the note again. "This sucks monkey balls! It's the first time I stay home from school and Bakura gives me all these rules to follow. It isn't like he had a camera in my room or anything." Ryou's eyes led him to see the camera attached to the top corner of his room.

Ryou sighed and flicked off the camera. He buried himself in his pillow but couldn't fall back into his peaceful slumber.

"What a bloody hell of a day this is turning out to be," Ryou said to the air as he got out of bed, disobeying his master's orders. He went into the TV room and turned on the television to yet another reality show.

"You must see this new show, and you WILL like it. It's about these untalented bachelors who must sing in a talent show to win the heart of what they think is a million dollar babe. When she's really just a poor… MAN," the announcer said in his cheesy voice.

"Seen it," Ryou said as he changed the channel. Ryou was deeply in the mood for a music video, sadly the station that calls it self "music TV," doesn't play that much music. Poor Ryou was left in a big apartment with nothing to do.
