Almost finished this chappie once when my mom's Windows ME pulled a blue screen of death on me. And even then they lied - Ctrl+Alt+Del did not restart it, it just froze it even more~!! ... Oo`
Anyways, for anybody who is not a rabid fan that already knows this, "Yami Yuugi" is the spirit of the Millenium Puzzle (( which is not really important except that he'll be making an entrance and I don't want to confuse people )).

As the group stepped outside, they all began to say goodbye for the day, then soon began to head home in their seperate directions. As Ryou began to walk away, Yuugi stood watching him, as though making sure he was okay. He then nodded and started to follow when Katsuya asked where he was going. He yelled back that he was going the long way home, and Katsuya shrugged and walked away. Yuugi caught up with Ryou, and they trod in silence for quite a while before either of them spoke. Bakura and the spirit of Yuugi's puzzle floated behind them a bit towards the middle, keeping an eye on each other. Although no person could see a spirit except the one wearing the item, the ghostly figures could see each other quite well.
Yuugi turned to Ryou. "What were you thinking today?"
Ryou stared at the ground as he spoke. "I was in the spirit of the ring's soul room."
Yuugi glanced at the watchful spirit behind him, then turned back to Ryou. "Why there?"
"Because," Ryou answered simply. "I had a question for him."
Yuugi pressed. "What kind of question?"
"His soul room has ancient writings and hieroglyphs that cover the walls, and he said one of them was my wall. I just wanted to know what it said."
Yami Yuugi frowned. "That would make sense."
Yuugi looked back at his spirit with a puzzled look on his face, and Bakura simply peered at him out of the corner of his eye. "A thousand years of isolation, it would be wise to write down your thoughts." Yuugi began to wonder if his spirit had done the same, and without asking, the spirit answered. "I can only wonder if there are writings inside of my mind. I have yet to explore the depths of my soul room. Where the ring's mind is a riddle, mine is a labyrinth. The center may yet hold a wealth of knowledge, of power, but finding your way there may be near impossible." Bakura scoffed at the analogy.
"So, then," Yuugi asked, "Did the spirit tell you what it said?"
Bakura seemed alarmed, and Yuugi's spirit's interest was piqued. Ryou just shook his head. "Not much. Only one line."
"What was it?" Yuugi seemed intent on getting to the bottom of this.
Bakura hissed, "You don't have to answer that." Ryou glanced back at him before looking back at the road.
"It was nothing," he said. Yuugi saw the game shop ahead of him, and quickly said goodbye to Ryou. The spirit of the puzzle faded away, waving a farewell to Bakura before he vanished.

Don't worry, I'm building up to something, I think. X3 Another night spent in his own head for Ryou. And I also have what may or may not be the entire writings of Ryou's wall uploaded, but not added yet. X3 I'll put it in soon enough.
