Ryou's still thinking about magic, and trying to decide why everyone's afraid of me. Stupid baka. He hasn't even bothered to think that they might be right to be scared. He's just trying to think up reasons why they shouldn't be. And yes I know I shouldn't be listening to his thoughts, but it isn't as though I'm doing it on purpose. He's just got such an open mind.
That or he's trying to let me see what he's thinking. Marik says that Ryou has the least open mind he's seen in anyone who's not used to being a vampire's slave, and thus used to having to shield their thoughts from their master. I just think Marik's being crazy again. He doesn't like Ryou.
According to him I 'should have killed the killed the boy when you first found him.' If he's the one who left Ryou in my house for me to find, though, I can't see how he can complain. He's at least as much to blame for the current situation as I am.
Not that I'm complaining. Ryou's strange though, especially the way he never complains about anything. Instead he just gets really quiet and sad. I hate it when he does that. It always makes me want to do something to cheer him up. The problem with that is simple. I don't know how. I know that I must have wanted to cheer up someone in my family at one point in my life, but I don't remember. I shouldn't expect to either. I was only eight at the time whereas now I'm several thousand years old.
But what are you supposed to do when someone's sad and you want to cheer them up? I don't think Ryou would be happy if I just did what I do to Marik and surround him with happy thoughts. Plus he'd probably decide that I was happy because I'd made him sad, which would have the opposite effect from the one I want. I don't understand mortals anymore.
It was interesting, though, watching the way he acted towards Marik. It's pretty obvious that he knows Marik doesn't like him. He's never that skittish around me, but around Marik he acts like a nervous horse. Sort of anyway. I'd like to talk with Marik, get myself thinking about something else, but it's more important to make sure he knows how hard it's going to be to keep the fight within bounds. It would be awful if something escaped.
The last time the guardians messed up Atlantis sunk beneath the waves. Volcanoes had erupted. The earth itself had rebelled and both of the candidates had been killed. Needless to say, we were now very careful. We didn't want anything like that to happen again.
AN: When I said the plot was nonexistent I meant it. I'm completely at a loss for what to do with this story. Therefore it is on indefinite hiatus until further notice. If you want me to be able to continue this please send ideas on what to do next. Thank you.
