Chapter Two

After school had to be Ryou's favorite time of day. There was time to do his homework, then he could do whatever he wanted. Oh, after he did his (and Bakura's) chores.

Ryou was seated at the kitchen table, Bakura at the Ishtar house for the evening. There was a loud crash, and broken glass exploded all over the table, Ryou's homework, and Ryou himself. A brick landed in the sink. On it was taped a note: "Too weak." That was all it said. "BK" was etched in the back.

"Bandit Keith," Ryou mumbled to himself. Tears welled up in his eyes. The glass had cut him on the arm, and the blood ran down his hand as he reached for the largest piece on the floor, throwing it in the trash. Then he went and got a broom, swept the glass off the floor, and threw away the brick.

When he finished taking care of the kitchen, he went to the phone and dialed the Mouto's.

"Moshi-moshi," Yugi answered the phone. "Ano ne?"

"Yugi, this is Ryou."

"Oh, hi Ryou. How is everything?"

"Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to speak with Yami, please."

"Sure, just a minute." There was a click as Yugi set the receiver down and looked for Yami.

Ryou heard the phone lifted from the counter. "Yes?" It was Yami this time.

"Yami, it's Ryou. I need your help. Can you come over now?"

"Hold on a minute." Ryou could vaguely hear Yami asking Yugi if there was anything he needed him to do. Yugi said no. "Sure, I can. Are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine, I just don't want to be alone right now."

"What happened?"

"I'll explain it when you get here."

"Okay, well, I'll be there as soon as I can be."

"Thank you." Ryou hung up. Why had he called Yami, and not his own yami? Easy: Bakura wouldn't want to be bothered with something so trivial. He would have laughed at Ryou, told him he was being stupid. He didn't need that. Bakura already thought he was weak.

Then Ryou got an idea. Maybe the others could teach him to be stronger. That way, maybe Bakura wouldn't be so uptight around him. Maybe.
