TEST OF FRIENDSHIP
Chapter 6: A New Home?
Bakura had been walking in the park for a few minutes now and had just come out the front gate. From there, Domino Center was only a block away. He walked along the sidewalk slowly picking up his pace with every step, but didn't run, he was afraid he might wake up the small puppy that was curled up in his arms. He knew he was late meeting his friends and the chances of them still being there was slim to none. But still, he had promised to at least show up, and that is what he intended to do.
Bakura reached the large fountain in the middle of Domino. He began to look around for the gang but as he had suspected, they had already left. "I knew they would've already gone out to look for Yugi," Bakura lectured himself, "especially with Yami driving the search." Bakura turned back around and headed back towards his house. "Well, I guess I'll just call them late and see how things went, beside," Bakura said now directing his voice towards the sleeping puppy, "I have to get you home and settled in, and there's no telling how my yami's going to take to you."
**~~**~~**
Bakura took his keys from his pocket and quietly unlocked the door. With a click, the door swung open and Bakura creped in and shut the door. "Phew, I'm glad he's still asleep..."
"Ryou!!"
Bakura jumped when he heard his yami calling him by his last name. Bakura's yami had started calling him Ryou ever since they had been split. Yami Bakura didn't like having his hikari call him 'Yami Bakura', because it was to much to say just for one person's name. So when no one else was around Yami Bakura would always call his hikari Ryou and Bakura would always call his yami Bakura. (Yami Bakura= Bakura; Bakura= Ryou ^-^ I hope I didn't confuse anyone!).
"... Yes?" Ryou said as he made his way into the living room were his yami was fuming on the couch.
"Where have you been?! Have you ever heard of leaving a note?!" Bakura barked
"Sorry, I...I forgot." Ryou stuttered.
"So, where were you, and stop stuttering you know I hate that!"
"I'm sorry..."
"Stop apologizing."
"Would you just let me finish?" Ryou said raising his voice a little.
"By all means, don't let me interrupt you."
"Fine, I went to meet my friends to help look for Yugi and I got there to late and they were all gone, so I came home."
Bakura's once angered face curved itself into a smirk as he leaned back on the couch. "That's right, the brat's missing. The poor Pharaoh must be devastated."
Ryou didn't reply. He know it was useless to fight with his yami. They would only continue to yell until one of them, which was usually Ryou, gave up and left the room.
Bakura continued to smirk waiting for Ryou to argue back, but he never did. He snicked a peek up at Ryou and saw him just standing there with a defeated look upon his face. Bakura felt kinda hurt when his hikari didn't want to fight back, but instead gave that 'you just killed my best friend' look. Bakura hated to see that look. He had finally come to accept his hikari as a friend, although he would never admit it, and he did want to hurt him... well, not to bad anyways.
"What, cat got your tongue?" Bakura teased, but only received a head shake.
Bakura could tell they weren't getting anywhere with the conversation, so he decided to change it and he had just spotted the prefect thing to talk about.
Bakura took a double take at the large lump of fur at Ryou was holding and couldn't help but ask. "Ryou, what the heck is that thing you're holding?"
Ryou looked down at the sleeping puppy and seemed to brighten up a bit. "It's a puppy, see?" Ryou handle out the puppy for Bakura to take it, but that wasn't about to happen.
Bakura scooped back on the couch and made a face in disgust. "Urgh... it looks like a mutated Kuriboh."
"No it doesn't, just come here, he won't bit."
Bakura bit his lip, got up, and walked over. Ryou held out the pup and Bakura hesitated before taking it. He didn't look like he was having a good time holding it, because he keep it held out away from his body and was giving it a funny look. But what he was soon to find out was, that Yugi wasn't liking it neither.
Yugi opened eyes sleepily and yawned. Blinking a few times, he could see a fuzzy image of someone in front of him. Finally he was able to tell that the figure that was holding him was Yami Bakura.
{Oh, it's just Yami Bakura...}
Yugi was about to fall back asleep when he realized what he had just thought.
{Yami Bakura!!}
Yugi's eyes widen as he let out a snarl "Put me down!"
Unbeknownst to Bakura, he was about to comply with Yugi's request. Out of pure shock, Bakura dropped the puppy on to the couch and took a step back and away from the bad tempered hair ball.
{Oof! Maybe I should've added gently.}
"Bakura!" Ryou whined as he knelt down next to the couch. "Be more careful, what if you'd hurt him."
"Then I would have been doing us a favor, that things a monster!"
"But you deal with monsters from the Shadow Realm all the time."
"I can deal with the Shadow Realm, but I'm not quiet sure what that thing even is!" Bakura growled as he pointed to the pouting black puff ball sitting on the couch. "Why don't you go put it back where you found it."
"I can't just leave it outside by itself."
"You might be able to, but I can if you won't."
Ryou picked the 'mutated Kuribo' as Bakura called it, and held it out to Bakura. "Then here, but if you're going to take it back where it came from... then we're going to have to hold it. Oh, and by the way, I found him in the park. That's a long way away from here."
"Grr..."Bakura growled knowing that his hikari had won this argument. "Fine! You can keep him for tonight, but if it comes near me..."
"What's the matter yami?" Ryou teased as he hugged the puppy, "are you afraid of a little dog?"
{Don't hug me! I'm not a plushie.}
Bakura growled under his breath. "I'm not afraid! I just don't like it, that's all."
Ryou put Yugi back down on the couch and started to walk off towards the kitchen.
"Hey! Where are you going?"
"To the kitchen," Ryou said holding his stomach, "I haven't eaten all day."
Yugi perked up and peered over the couch at Ryou. The couch was very large and he could barely get his nose over the back of it.
{I've got you beat. I haven't eaten in almost two days. Right now, I'd almost being willing to eat that stuff Tea was going to give me. Now that's hungry.}
"I'm coming to, I haven't eaten all day either." Bakura complained.
"Why not?"
"Because you hid all the cooking equipment."
Ryou bite back a laugh. "I had too, we can't afford to buy a new house if you burn this one down."
With that they disappeared into the kitchen and left Yugi still peering over the back of the couch. "Hey! Could you bring me something too?" Yugi barked but received no reply. The small pup slid back down the couch and bounced on the soft cushion. He sat there for a minute pondering what to do next. He unconsciously scratched behind his ear as he held his bored expression.
{Great, my first night as a dog, I sent unconscious in Tea's room, and now on the second night, I get to sent time with Bakura. I don't think things could get any worse.}
As soon as the words came from Yugi's mouth, he felt a low rumble emit from his stomach.
{Why do I always say that, when I know it only gets worse anyways? Well, I'm tired of it, I'm going to the kitchen to get something.}
With his new found determination, Yugi marched over to the end of the couch. He was about to leap off the side when he realized something.
{Since when has this couch been so high off the ground? If I jump, I'm likely to break something. The couch at home isn't this high off the ground.}
Yugi growled in frustration and laid down at the end of the couch. Yugi's eyes slid shut as he lay there.
{I just what to go home. I just wait to go to my house, get in my bed, and go to sleep. Plus, I miss all my friends, and I...}
Yugi's thoughts were interrupted as Bakura reentered the room and sat down on the other end of the couch. Yugi licked his lips and sniffed the air as he watched Bakura take a bite of his sandwich he had brought with him from the kitchen.
{That looks good.} Yugi thought as he scooted forward a bit. This action didn't go unnoticed by a certain tomb robber who was keeping an eye on the puppy to began with.
"Don't you even think about it, mutt." Bakura warned.
{mutt?!}
"Like I would want any of your bite off sandwich, beside, I bet Ryou had to make it for you anyways." Yugi barked.
Bakura gritted his teeth at the dog and then realized he had forgotten his drink in the kitchen. He sat his sandwich on his end of the couch, got up, and left.
Yugi eyed the sandwich that sat there unattended. He crouched down on his belly and scooted his way over to the sandwich, being caution to not make a sound. When it was finally in front of him he hesitated.
{This is wrong. I shouldn't take Bakura's sandwich. But then again... he did call me a mutt, and goods grabbing are what us mutts are good for.}
Yugi pounced forward and grabbed the sandwich between his teeth and ran back over to his side of the couch. He approached the end of the couch once more knowing that if he didn't get off the couch now, when Bakura got back, he would be dead anyways.
{It's the floor or Bakura..., I'll take the floor.}
Yugi slowly creep down the side of the couch hoping to not make the impact quiet as hard, but he didn't have such luck. Half way down the side of the couch he lost his grip and rolled the rest of the way down. He hit with a hard thump as the sandwich flow out of his mouth and laid on a near by shoe.
Yugi looked up and saw a very anger Bakura glaring daggers down at him. Bakura lend over and picked up the sandwich and tossed it out of the way.
{Uh oh...}
"Come here you mutt." Bakura growled and he reached over to grab Yugi by the neck, but Yugi dodged it and rolled under the coffee table.
"I'm sorry, but it's not like you can't go make you another one." Yugi growled.
"Stop barking at me."
"Well stop yelling at me."
Bakura got down on his knees and reached under the coffee table and grabbed the loss skin on the back of Yugi's neck and drug him out from under the table and into the air. Yugi whimpered as his whole body was paralyzed.
{Ow, Bakura... that really, hurts.}
"Bakura what are you doing?!"
"Ryou, your dumb dog ate my sandwich!" Bakura shook the pup when he referred to him.
{Didn't not! I only stole it. I intended to eat it later.}
When he shook the puppy, the bandana around his neck shifted to the side and revealed the dog tag at hide under neath it. The flicker of gold immediately caught Bakura's attention and he began to examine it.
"Bakura, it's not like you can't make another, besides the little guy's probably hungry. I should have already gotten him something. So I guess it's my fault..." Bakura didn't pay any attention as his hikari continued to ramble on.
Bakura felt of the smooth metal under his fingers making sure not to miss a single detail. He noted it's triangular shape and it's gold texture, but the thing that caught his eye the must was the Eye of Horus that sat in the middle of the golden dog tag. 'This can't be a Millennium Item," Bakura thought, "but it has the same properties of one, and there's not an eighth Millennium Item or I would know about it.' Bakura turned the dog tag over and ran his finger across the writing feeling the familiarity of the curves and dips. 'This writing is Egyptian. I can read it.' Bakura looked shocked as he read the one word wrote on the back, but his shock was soon replaced with a wide smirk that almost cover his entire face.
"Bakura??" Ryou asked for the third time. "Are you listening to me?"
"What?" Bakura asked as he covered the dog tag back up under the bandana
Ryou sighed and sat down a bundle of blankets on the couch. "Well, I'm going to bed, just put Spot right here when you're done playing with him."
"Spot?" Bakura cocked an eye brow, "What kinda name is that?"
"Don't ask. It's a long story and I'm tired." Ryou rubbed the back of his head and waved good night before disappearing into his room.
"Good night hikari." Bakura waved as he turned his attention back to the pup.
"Well, well," Bakura teased as he plopped the puppy down onto the mound of blankets. "Don't you like your New name, spot."
{huh? New name?}
"Well, I guess I won't keep you up, you probably want to get your rest,"Bakura said. As he was half way to his room he turned around to bid the puppy good night.
"Good night... Little Yugi."

"Stop barking at me."
"Well stop yelling at me."
Bakura got down on his knees and reached under the coffee table and grabbed the loss skin on the back of Yugi's neck and drug him out from under the table and into the air. Yugi whimpered as his whole body was paralyzed.
{Ow, Bakura... that really, hurts.}
"Bakura what are you doing?!"
"Ryou, your dumb dog ate my sandwich!" Bakura shook the pup when he referred to him.
{Didn't not! I only stole it. I intended to eat it later.}
When he shook the puppy, the bandana around his neck shifted to the side and revealed the dog tag at hide under neath it. The flicker of gold immediately caught Bakura's attention and he began to examine it.
"Bakura, it's not like you can't make another, besides the little guy's probably hungry. I should have already gotten him something. So I guess it's my fault..." Bakura didn't pay any attention as his hikari continued to ramble on.
Bakura felt of the smooth metal under his fingers making sure not to miss a single detail. He noted it's triangular shape and it's gold texture, but the thing that caught his eye the must was the Eye of Horus that sat in the middle of the golden dog tag. 'This can't be a Millennium Item," Bakura thought, "but it has the same properties of one, and there's not an eighth Millennium Item or I would know about it.' Bakura turned the dog tag over and ran his finger across the writing feeling the familiarity of the curves and dips. 'This writing is Egyptian. I can read it.' Bakura looked shocked as he read the one word wrote on the back, but his shock was soon replaced with a wide smirk that almost cover his entire face.
"Bakura??" Ryou asked for the third time. "Are you listening to me?"
"What?" Bakura asked as he covered the dog tag back up under the bandana
Ryou sighed and sat down a bundle of blankets on the couch. "Well, I'm going to bed, just put Spot right here when you're done playing with him."
"Spot?" Bakura cocked an eye brow, "What kinda name is that?"
"Don't ask. It's a long story and I'm tired." Ryou rubbed the back of his head and waved good night before disappearing into his room.
"Good night hikari." Bakura waved as he turned his attention back to the pup.
"Well, well," Bakura teased as he plopped the puppy down onto the mound of blankets. "Don't you like your New name, spot."
{huh? New name?}
"Well, I guess I won't keep you up, you probably want to get your rest,"Bakura said. As he was half way to his room he turned around to bid the puppy good night.
"Good night... Little Yugi."
