"Hey Ryou." Ryoku called out.

"Yes?"

"Shouldn't we head back inside now? The bell is going to go soon."

"Oh." Ryou said, jumping up. "Your right! Let's go."

"I'm coming." Ryoku said, following him. "I don't even know where our next class is."

"Don't worry about that, you're with me." Ryou said.

The two quickly stopped at their locker's to grab all their things for class before heading off. Running into the room, just as the bell went.

"We made it." Ryou smiled.

"Yay!" Ryoku said with as much sarcasm as he could.

"Oh hey Ryou." Yugi smiled.

"Hey." Ryou smiled back. "Oh Ryoku, I sit with Yugi in this class. So you can go and sit with Yami."

"Really?" Ryoku said, with fake excitement in his voice.

Ryou laughed a little and nodded. "Yep."

/I hate you./

/You don't mean that./

/I do./ With a sigh, Ryoku sat down next to Yami. "Hello there."

"Huh?" Yami said, snapping out of a daze. "Oh hey Ryoku. Sorry, I didn't hear you sit down."

"It's all right, you looked lost in thought any ways." Ryoku shrugged.

"Yeah. So you're not freaked out at all about the whole 5000 year old spirit thing?" Yami asked slowly.

"Well, no... Should I?"

"No." Yami said, shaking his head. "I was just wondering, you took it so well and all."

"Yeah... That's the way we are in my family." Ryoku grinned.

"Yeah. So what was that at lunch time?"

"What was what?"

"You said something about Ryou not wanting you here, and then you stormed out."

"Ah, that." Ryoku frowned. "It was nothing."

"Are you sure?" Yami asked. "You seemed a bit upset."

"Why would you care?" Ryoku snapped loudly, causing everyone to look at them.

/Yami! Don't be stupid! Do you want to go back to the shadow realm?/

/Sorry Ryou. I wasn't thinking./

/Don't tell me that, tell Yami./

/Tell the Pharaoh I'm sorry? Not happening./

/Yami./

/Fine!/ Ryoku grumbled to himself, before turning to face Yami. "Sorry about snapping at you like that." 'Not.'

/Good job./

/This is stupid. What is he going to do to me? I can just come back from the shadow realm./

/That's a great plan. You go ahead and do that/

/I don't like your tone./ Ryoku hissed, causing his hair to go spikier, and his eye's to go darker.

/Bakura! Yami is sitting right beside you/

Growling slightly, Ryoku looked over at Yami, who happened to be looking at Ryou with a strange look on his face. "Is something wrong?"

"What?" Yami asked.

"I asked if something was wrong."

"Oh, no." Yami said, shaking his head. "Just pay a close eye on Ryou for a while, okay."

"Okay."

Yugi.

Yes Yami?

Did you feel that?

I did. Do you think it's the spirit of the ring?

Yes I do.
