Missing
Summary: Bakura is kidnapped. Ryou decides to look for him; will he find Bakura in time?
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Warnings: shounen-ai and a few changes (Bakura has his own body, and he's nicer, for a couple of things). There is mild CRUDE LANGUAGE. MAJOR OOCness. I focus more on PLOT than on SETTINGS…so if you came here to find a nice descriptive fiction, I'd advise turning back right around now. This is entirely about Ryou and Bakura. (Wow, that certainly explains the pairing, doesn't it now…)No one else even shows up…except someone around the fourth chapter, and I can't tell you who because that would ruin the story.
AN: Yeah, for once it's Ryou that gets to rescue Bakura…mmhmm…I haven't seen any others like that…of course I haven't read them ALL, but… anyway, I'm in a bad mood so I don't know if I'll let Ryou find Bakura in time…

Chapter 1: The Letter
Ryou walked home as slowly as he possibly could. He was already late, so what did it matter?
He returned to thinking about Bakura. Sometimes Ryou wished Bakura would see him as more than a friend…
'No, bad Ryou! You know he'll never think of you like that!'
All too soon, the door was in front of him and he opened it, waiting to hear Bakura yell "Where've you been?"
It didn't come.
Bakura must have heard him…so where was he?
"Bakura?"
Still nothing.
"Weird…"
He found the mail in the old letterbox. There wasn't much, just one note. He opened it, curious. It didn't look like it had been mailed. For a good reason, as he soon found out.
Ryou
I have someone here for you.
If you think it's worth it, come find him.
Are you willing to play?
Ryou blinked. "I don't…get it…"
I'll put it in simpler terms, as I know you won't get it.
"Stupid freaking mind reader…"
I'm inviting you to play a game. A treasure hunt, per se. You have two weeks. If you don't find him by then, you'll never see him again.
If you won't play, he dies. And no one can help you. This is between you and me, Ryou. Come find him.
Ryou frowned. Who was 'him'? Then he figured it out…very quickly. The note wasn't finished.
Yes, I mean your darker half, Bakura. Your mind link won't work, so don't bother.
Your first clue will come tomorrow. We won't count today as one of your fourteen.
Happy hunting.
He couldn't believe it. This was some kind of sick, stupid joke for sure. How could they have caught Bakura in the first place? No, Bakura was fine…and he'd be back soon…
Bakura wasn't back by the next morning.
--------------------------------------------------
Ryou checked the mailbox…and sure enough, there was his first 'clue'.
The clock has been started…
Follow this once you've figured it out, and your next clue will be there.
There are only three. Your fourth clue will lead you to him.
"Where meet fire, earth, air and water
Is where the light will find the other"
You don't have too long.
He's waiting.
AN: Good? Bad? Too horrible to continue?
I made up the little quote…I hate writing poetry…
This is weird, I know, but…Meh.
