"Please Ryou, please don't make me sit and eat lunch with the Pharaoh!"

"Bak... Ryoku! Stop that." Ryou said looking down at his Yami who was on his knee's begging. "And stand up! Everyone is looking at us and it's embarrassing."

"Sorry." Ryoku said, standing up.

"And his name is Yami... Oh hello Yugi, Yami." Ryou said, smiling nervously at the two behind Ryoku.

"Hey you two." Yugi smiled.

Ryoku's face went red as he turned around. "Oh hey you guy's. Well, I wish I could stick around but I must go."

"Go where?" Ryou asked, confused.

"The bathroom!" Ryoku said quickly.

"Okay... Do you even know where it is?" Ryou asked.

"Well, no..."

"I can show you were it is." Yami offered.

"Oh." Ryoku said, as he forced a smile on his face. "Thanks Yami."

/Was that hard to say Kura/

/Oh be quiet/

"You're very welcome. We'll meet you two up at the lunch table." Yami said, leading Ryoku away.

Ryou giggled slightly at the look on his Yami's face but quickly stopped when he noticed Yugi give him a funny look. "Err... should we head off to the lunch table then?"

"Yeah." Yugi nodded.

"So tell me about yourself." Yami said, striking up a conversation.

"Ah. What's there to say?" Ryoku said nervously, pulling at the collar of his shirt.

"Are you okay?" Yami asked, giving him a weird look.

"Yes. It's just, you know... hot in this building." Ryoku stumbled out.

"Oh. So, when did you arrive in Japan?" Yami asked, as the turned to go up the stairs.

"Yesterday."

"Ryou's never mentioned you, which is a bit odd."

"We had a bit of a falling out before he came to Japan."

"So why didn't you come to Japan with your dad and brother?"

Ryoku froze at this. 'Oh shit, oh shit.'

/What is it Bakura/

/Ryou! Yami just asked me a hard question/

/Well, what is it/

/He asked why I didn't come over to Japan with you and Dad. I mean your father/

/Oh. Well, have fun with that one/

/Ryou! Ryou/

"Ryoku! Hello! Anyone home?" Yami asked, waving his hand in front of the other boy's face.

"Yes, sorry."

"It's all right, you kind of zoned out there for a second."

"It's just hard to talk about why I didn't come over with my family."

"Sorry, I won't ask again then."

"Thanks. So, you and Yugi, are brothers then?"

"Ah, no were not."

"Oh, but you are related?"

"Not really."

Ryoku tried to not smirk, as he watched Yami get nervous. "Then how do you two look so alike? Plus you wear those twin things."

"It's called the millennium puzzle." Yami explained.

"Is it like the millennium ring?"

"Yes, its like that. Except the one I'm wearing, isn't the real copy. Yugi has the really one.

"Oh?"

"Look! The bathroom." Yami grinned. "I'll wait for you out here."

"Right." Ryoku said, running in. Looking around he started laughing. 'Ah, that was good. Seeing the Pharaoh get nervous and squirm like that was fun. Maybe this whole thing won't be too bad after all.' Smirking, he looked into the mirror. 'But I have to be careful; I can't let it slip who I really am. Not anytime soon anyway.' Putting his "innocent" look back on, he left the bathroom to join Yami. "So let's head off to this lunch room place."

"Right." Yami nodded.

As Yami and Ryoku walked over to the table, Ryou jumped up and ran over to them.

"Hey Ryou." Ryoku grinned.

"What did you do?" Ryou asked when Yami had taken his seat.

"Me? I didn't do a thing brother." Ryoku smiled.

Sighing, Ryou headed back to his seat. /Kura, don't screw this up or let Yami know who you really are. He wouldn't hesitate for a second to send you back to the shadow realm./

Ryoku pouted, and let out a fake cry. "I knew it! You hate me! You wish that I was dead!"

/What are you doing?/

/I'm bored./

/Why you.../

"You should just say that you wish I stayed in Britain!" Ryoku spat out, turning around and running out of the room.

'Oh man' Ryou frowned. /Kura! Stop being like that and get back here./

/Why?/

/Because... Fine! Be childish, but I'm not coming after you./ Ryou waited for a response. Not getting one, he grumped under his breath and marched out of the room without a word to the others.

Ryoku was sitting under one of the trees when Ryou finally came and found him.

He smirked as Ryou sat down beside him. "I thought you weren't coming to get me?"

"What kind of a brother would I be if I didn't?" Ryou sighed. "Why did you do that?"

"I didn't wish to sit and eat lunch with the Pharaoh and his servant's."

"Yami." Ryou said, rolling his eyes.

"You just called me by his name."

"Well you are. If we were actually twins, you'd be the dark one."

"True." Ryoku nodded. "Oh, for the love of Ra!"

"What is it?" Ryou asked.

"Over there." Ryoku pointed, to the door.

"What? I don't... Ooh." Ryou said, as he spotted Yugi and Yami walking over to them.

"Why are they coming over here?"

"Well, after your little performance they're most likely worried."

"Oh. Well, it was a good time wasn't it?"

"Not really. The entire school most likely heard you."

"Hey Ryou. Ryoku." Yugi said, as he and Yami stopped in front of them.

"Hey guy's." Ryou smiled.

"Hello." Ryoku mumbled, moving slightly away.

"Hey." Yami said, leaning down till he was in front of Ryoku. "What's this around your neck?"
