Winter. It has. . . snow, cold temperatures, and it makes your breath visible. oO What an odd time of year. Anyways, this is my first winter, and I am NOT finding it at all enjoyable. And I am the King of Thieves, Bakura, the most feared tomb robber in all of Egypt! You do NOT want to get me angry. . .

Heh. Yes, I know, I am scary. Intimidating, and even psychotic. FEAR ME! My patience, which is short to being with, is growing shorter as I trudge through this snow which feels like ice in my boots. Yes, the stuff is falling into my SHOES! Cursed evil snow.

Now, when I say "evil snow," I mean more like the cursed evil white fluffy stuff of DOOM! But by "evil," I don't mean evil like I am. I mean, this is evil to me. Not as something actually evil, like dark and sinister, but evil as in. . . Well, I'm not sure. It's evil. It shouldn't exist. But it seems as if it does just to make me miserable. So that is evil. See? No, now I'm confusing myself. ANYWAYS, I don't like it, and it should be banished to the Shadow Realm. Every. Single. Flake.

Why? Because I'm cold, slightly wet, and I CAN'T SEE WHERE I'M GOING! Everything's too damn bright! Look at it this way. When you spend most of your time inside your soul room, where it's dark, and there is barely any light, just the way you like it, you get used to that. Then all of a sudden you walk out a door and EVERYTHING is white and the sun seems to be coming from EVERYWHERE! It blinds me! It actually hurts my eyes! I can't take- OW! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!

I just WALKED INTO SOMETHING. Can't see! Ryou's behind me, laughing. Grr. . .DIDN'T I TELL HIM NOT TO LAUGH! All right, now to see what the hell I ran into. I have to squint. . . Ah, it's a street light. Blasted metal pole sticking up out of the ground with a light on top. OW! Ok, note to self, don't kick metal poles. It hurts. Ryou's laughing more. . . I glare at him, and he shuts up. Moving on.

Oh look, it's the shrimp's house. The place where the Pharaoh lives. Great. Note the sarcasm in that last word. Wait. . . what's that in the front of the house? Eh, it's the Pharaoh's friends. Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Tea. . . So, where's the Pharaoh? Don't tell me I'm being forced outside when he gets to stay inside his soul room. Hm, wait, there's some kind of giant ball next to them too. Or at least, that's what it looks like. . .

Getting closer to their house, I can see it a bit better. Or at least, I'm trying. Wait a minute. . . That giant ball is a person. . . BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! I'm almost on the ground laughing! It's the Pharaoh! HAHAHAHAAA! The Pharaoh! Wearing layers upon layers of coats! He looks like some kind of giant puffball. HAHAHAHAHA! He looks so stupid, like some kind of puffball with star-hair. Hah! Ok, getting myself back under control. . . Now that everyone's staring at me.

"What's the matter Pharaoh, can't take a little cold weather?" I smirk. Yes, I know, I'm not taking it much better, but at least I don't look as ridiculous as he does. Hah, he sends some kind of glare at me, but it's pitiful.

Yugi sighs. "I told you you didn't need that many coats." He whispers, as if I couldn't hear him. "It's cold." The Pharaoh murmurs back. Hah! Pathetic. But he starts to take some of the coats off anyways, and slowly gains a more human looking form. Even his friends are laughing.

Pharaoh looks mad. Well, good. He turns to me. "You don't look as if you're doing any better. You're squinting as if you can't see a thing."

Wha? I'm squinting? Oh, whoops, didn't notice. I try to make my eyes relax but that just lets more light in, so I just growl at him instead. Now he laughs. Baka.

"Ah, don't you just love the first snow of the season?" Joey's an idiot. No, I don't like the first snow of the season. And I don't think the second will be any better, or the third. He sticks his tongue out and catches a fat flake falling from the sky. He ate it? Well that's interesting… I'll have to try that later. Maybe this snow can suffer for what it's done to me if I decide it's tasty.

"Yeah, it almost looks magical." That preppy girl, the one who constantly annoys me with her speeches on friendship and love (how can the Pharaoh stand her!) looks as if she's in another one of her stupid trances. I don't know whether she's serious or not about this snow having power, but I don't really need another reason to hate this stuff.

"Well, let's get going. We have to introduce this all to Yami and Yami Bakura." The Pharaoh's weaker, and shorter, self speaks up. I'd rather he had kept his mouth shut. In fact, most of the time I wish he didn't have a mouth. Hm, if the Pharaoh didn't have a mouth… Ha! That'd be pretty entertaining, actually…

"I know!" Hikari gets excited much too easily. "Let's go to the park first. We can go sledding, since there's enough snow already."

The others are agreeing. Crap. And I STILL can't see. I feel like my eyes must be bleeding. This is going to be a LONG six months…
