Chapter Ten
Ryou opened his eyes and looked around, hazily, orienting himself. This was the second time he had woken up in Bakura's room in the past twenty-four hours. He sat up to read the clock over Bakura's shoulder, then realized that Bakura wasn't there.
There was a knock on the door, and before he could say anything, it opened, revealing Yami and Malik. Seeing Ryou's apparent nakedness, Yami raised his eyebrows at Malik, and Malik laughed.
"What's funny?" Ryou asked, holding the sheet about himself to keep covered.
"Looks like he liked it after all," Malik said.
"Yeah, I would say so," Yami whistled.
Ryou looked around and discovered his clothes on the floor outside the bedroom door. Then his eyes moved to Bakura's clothes on the bedroom floor. They had certainly had fun last night.
Ryou blushed and looked down, suddenly finding the bedsheets quite interesting. "Where's Bakura?" he asked quietly.
"He stepped out," Malik said, suddenly solemn.
"Where?" Ryou said impatiently. He wanted to talk to his yami, now.
"We don't know," Yami told him. "Said something about fresh air, then he just took off."
Ryou felt a pit of dread in his stomach. Had he done something wrong?
"I'm sure he'll be home soon," Malik assured him quickly.
Ryou had the feeling they were hiding something from him, but he dropped it. "You guys want some breakfast?" he asked instead.
"Sure," they said at once.
"Well, if you'll get out for a minute, I can get dressed, and I'll make you some eggs or something."
They left Ryou to his own devices, and Ryou locked the bedroom door behind them. He wandered over to the closet and pulled out a pair of ark blue, silk dragon boxers. I wonder where Bakura could be, he thought as he pulled them on. Then he picked up a t-shirt, thought better of it, and went into the kitchen in just the boxers.
Yami gave a catcall from the corner, and Ryou blushed.
"Don't overdress on our account," Malik commented. The pink in Ryou's cheeks deepened to a bright red, and he went over to the refrigerator.
"Hey, you guys, I think I'm out of eggs," Ryou said. "Maybe pancakes?"
"Whatever you want, little chef," Yami said as he walked by, ruffling Ryou's hair on the way.
Ryou sighed and got to work.
Breakfast passed, and there was still no sign of Bakura. Ryou was beginning to worry. Had something happened to him? Maybe he should call his cell phone.
He picked up the phone and dialed Bakura's cell number. Seconds later, there was a vague ringing from somewhere in the living room. So Bakura hadn't taken it with him.
Ryou wheeled around at Yami and Malik. "Where is he?" he demanded.
"We told you what we knew," Malik retorted.
"Then why are you being so cryptic?!"
He and Yami were both silent for a minute. "He's not here! What more do you want?" Yami growled his frustration and stormed into the living room.
"My yami," Ryou said quietly.
KC666: Aww, poor Ryou... Well we'll find Bakura soon enough. Keep reading, it should be done soon! I hope...
