I'm back! I didn't take as long as I did with the last chapter. But this chapter is really short. Sorry. I just wanted to get it out for you guys. Plus, I want to tell everyone to go read my other story that I just posted. "To Love a Kaiba." It's another Seto/Jou story but it starts out as a Jou/Mokuba. Please go read it. I really want to know what people think of it. I only have the prologue up now, but the first chapter is almost ready. And I want to know if it's worth continuing. Please please please go read it.

But anyways this chappie is all about Bakura and Ryou. I was in the mood to say what happens to them.

Cabin Fever

Chapter 11

Jou sat back down in his seat on the bus. Him and Kaiba had packed all their stuff and got on the bus along with everyone else. Most people were really upset to be leaving but others cough Otogi cough were more than happy to get his ass o9ut of there.

Kaiba was still sitting next to Jou but he was allowed to prop his lag on Jou's lap because it wouldn't fit out in front of him. Kaiba and Jou still hadn't talked about everything that had happened earlier and Jou was getting a little concerning about it. Mentally he was panicking.

'What if that kiss meant nothing? It didn't feel like nothing but maybe he thought it did.' constantly ran through Jou's head.

Kaiba on the other hand chose not to think about it. He really didn't want his mind to wonder too far and him get a hard-on thinking about all of the thing's he could do to Jou.

"All right troops," Coach Morty's voice rang throughout the entire bus. "I know the trip was cut short but I'm dealing with it so you have to do the same." With those warming words, the bus started and they were off.

Most of the buss ride was pretty uneventful. There was shouting and fighting and a lot of detentions but still uneventful.

Ryou sat in his seat in the back on the bus staring out the window the entire time. He was more than happy to be going home. It was easier to avoid Bakura at home. Ryou just didn't really was want to face him. It didn't really help that Bakura was sitting right beside him on the bus.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Bakura asked and Ryou sighed yet again. Bakura turned in his seat and placed his hands on upper arms just to get them shrugged back off. "What?!?"

"I just don't want to be touched." Ryou whispered. He didn't even look at Bakura.

"Since when? Listen hikari, I don't know what is going on in that little mind of your but I want it to stop right now. Bakura nearly shouted. Not that anyone noticed over the noise of the bus.

"YOu have no control over my mind. I can think what I want. I can believe what I want. You know, there is a reason I keep you out of it." Ryou shouted back finally looking at him. "I don't want to deal with this shit anymore." Ryou said more quietly, turning back to his window.

"And what shit is that?" Bakura spoke just as quietly, though he had to force himself to do it.

"Us. You, me, this whole relationship. Is this even a relationship? I know I love you but is that really enough?" Ryou said more to himself than to Bakura.

'I love you too' Bakura thought, not wanting to say it out loud. Bakura had never said it to Ryou while he was in a conscious state. 'I care Ryou I really do. Don't you see that? Are you really going to make me say it?'

"Yes." Ryou said very sternly Bakura looked shocked for a moment. He hadn't realized Ryou could hear him. "Please do tell me just how much you care."

"Can't you tell on your own, oh smart one?" Bakura said sarcastically. He didn't have to say and he wasn't going to.

"That's it Bakura." Ryou was quiet, barely audible, but Bakura could still hear him. "I can tell you don't really care what happens here if you can't even tell me the truth about it." Ryou leaned over and brushed his lips against Bakura's lightly before pulling back and speaking again. "I love you Bakura but whatever this thing between us is, be it relationship, sex buddies, whatever, it can't go on."

Bakura just looked at him blankly. He never really thought Ryou would ever say that. Not only did it come out of nowhere, but also Bakura didn't think Ryou had the balls to say that. Well, Bakura turned to Ryou and pulled him into another kiss hoping to remind Ryou of whatever is there. When Ryou didn't respond, Bakura pulled back and continued to stare out the window.

"Bakura, please change seats with Yugi." Ryou whispered, still not looking at him. Bakura reluctantly did as told with out a word. He moved over and pulled Yugi out of Yami's lap. "Go over to Ryou." was all he said before taking the next to Yami.

"You ok?" Yami asked him.

"I've watched my family killed before my eyes, if that didn't faze me this won't either." Bakura leaned down and played with his shoes. He wasn't going to cry. Yes he did love Ryou but he just didn't know how to say it to him.

"You should tell him how you feel." Yami insisted. Placing a hand on Bakura's back and rubbing small circles in it.

"He knows."

"But you should tell him. He wants to hear you say it."

Ryou and Yugi weren't faring much better on the other side of the bus. Ryou was in tears the Yugi wasn't fast enough to catch them. Yugi settled on letting the tears fall and wrapped his arms around Ryou and held him.

"Yugi, did I do the right thing?" Ryou asked sniffling the entire way.

Yugi looked down and Ryou and held him tighter. "You know I can't answer that. I wish I could but we both know it's not my place."

Ryou sobbed the rest of the way home.

Don't kill me. Bakura will say it eventually. But please review. I am probably going to be writing all weekend so I might just have something up by Tuesday or at the latest, I should have something up next weekend.
