Sorry it took so long to update, but now that I have my Palm Pilot, I expect to update much more frequently.
Thank you to Inu-yokai-princess again, for being there when I needed support or just someone to talk to.
On with the show!

Ryou- Why must you make things difficult?
Bakura- Because it's fun.
Ryou- Reaaaly. Then why don't you just go away, and have fun with someone else?
Bakura- Because you're the most fun of all the hosts I've had over the years. And you give me a
chance to get close to the pharaoh. Unless you'd like me to go take over one of his other friends?
Ryou- No, no. Just give me some time alone here to at least get my bearings and get us back home.
Bakura- And you can't get that done with me here?
Ryou- In case you hadn't noticed, your presence is slightly distracting to me, so if you leave me alone I can get us home sooner. It's in both of our best interests.
Bakura (fading) - Fine. But know that it will only be a temporary situation. I will be back. I will rule the world. And I will get my revenge on the pharaoh...
(He's gone. Ryou looks around and realizes that he has been walking down the street this whole time. He runs into a strange guy with green hair and three swords.)
Zolo (snaps) - Watch where you're going!
Ryou- Sorry, I was possessed, I mean distressed, I mean depressed. Oh... I meant distracted.
Zolo- Uh-huh. (Starts to walk away)
Ryou- Excuse me, sir. Could you tell me where I am?
Zolo- I would, if I knew where I am.
Ryou- Oh, them how did you get here?
Zolo- Through a black-hole-whirlpool-portal-thingy.
Ryou- Well, same here. (Has seen quite enough strange things to believe him right off.)
(Ryou helps pick up items that he knocked out of Zolo's hands. He stares at the swords. Zolo starts putting them in his belt/sash like usual.)
Ryou- And why do you have those? (swords)
Zolo- What? Oh, these? (fingers swords) I always carry them. I'm going to be the best swordsman in the world.
Ryou- I'm sure that you'd like to get back to your world
Zolo- Yeah, but at least this way I get a vacation from crazy strawhat.
Ryou- Who's strawhat?
Zolo- My captain.
Ryou- Huh?
Zolo- Yes, my captain. I'm a pirate.
Ryou- (surprised) Oh... really? What's your name?
Zolo- Zolo, famed pirate hunter.
Ryou- What? But you just said-
Zolo- Forget it. It's too long a story. Et toi? Son t'appelle? (And you? Your name?)
Ryou- Je m'appelle Bakura. (My name is Bakura.)
Zolo- Impressive. No one else I know can recognize, much less speak French.
Ryou- It's an... acquired... skill. I only know a few phrases.
Zolo- Ok. (Gives Ryou a curious-but-I'm-not-even-gonna-ask look) Any ideas on how a person would get home?
Ryou- I was just going to keep walking until I found someone to ask where we are.
Zolo- Sounds smart. Mind if I accompany you? (Fingers swords again) You might need protection, if you find someone... less than benevelent.
Ryou- Sure! I'd enjoy the company.
(Walks off. Zolo walks with him.)

Now I need to put up Chapter 3. Hopefully I can finish this fic soon, and move on to the sequil(sorry for my spelling, I'lll try to work on it). Not really likely, seeing as I still have many, many pages of this to type up.
Syanara!
