Chapter 4: Meeting
AVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVA
"C'mon, who is it?"
"I don't want to tell, Malik, so shut up!"
"Aww, Ryou, I'm just curious...Please?" Malik tried the Puppy-Dog-Eyes.
"No, Malik, you know that only Yuugi can use those on me. I'm not going to tell you who I'm dating. And I'll surely not introduce you. And that's final!" Ryou went over to Yuugi, who was sitting on a chair in a corner of the arcade, leaving a scowling Malik.
"Hey Yuugi. Feeling better already?" Ryou sat down next to his friend and patted him on his back.
"Yeah, I don't know what it was. Just seeing that ring, I think."
"How come you had such a reaction? I mean, it's just a jewel..." I'm not going to tell you more…
"It's not only that, Ryou. You know that puzzle I told you about at lunch?" At Ryou's nod, he continued. "It has the same eye on it. And since I started it, I have this strange feeling of being watched and followed. When I saw that eye, it was like my puzzle called me, begged me to come home and finish it... What do you think of it?"
"I'm not entirely sure Yuugi..."
"Ryou? Do what you think that is the right thing to do. But you'll have to tell them one day. And if I may give my opinion, I think they'll accept it sooner and easier then you think they'll do it. Besides, if I am right, one of your friends will get a surprise very soon."
"...but I think you should meet someone. Can we meet at 7 P.M. at the abandonned warehouse?"
"Euh...sure..but why there? Why not at home?"
"You'll see. Oh, and bring the puzzle." Ryou checked his watch and stood up. "I have to go." Then, as an afterthought, "Just don't tell Malik..."
Yuugi grinned but nodded. "Bye Ryou, see you tonight."
"See ya!"
Yuugi stood up to go and look for Malik. He wanted a game.
AVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVA
"Look who finally decided to come home. I thought you lost your way. Honestly, I think I have to buy you a dogchip...I mean, you're always late. And that way, I can trace you down."
"I'm also happy to see you, Jii-chan. How was your day?" Yuugi embraced his grandpa.
"The same as usual, I guess...noisy kids who can't keep their hands of the cards...oh, and two men from Kaiba Corp. Kaiba is interested in the shop and wants to take it over. I declined his offer. Now, let's go eat."
"Yes Jii-chan" Yuugi followed his grandfather inside, silently laughing at his antics.
After dinner, Yuugi went up to start his homework.
Filthy Momnaru...The Greeks are dead...well, the ancient ones are...what do Zeus and Hera interest me? Nothing, nada, rien. I prefer Egypt…
Yuugi sighed and glared at his clock, then went up and cuddled it. "I love you!" He grabbed his bag, put the puzzle inside and ran down, leaving his clock on the bed. The red numbers changed from 6.52 to 6.53 PM.
"Bye Jii-chan. See you tonight." Suguroku merely sighed and switched the TV on.
Off he goes...again. So why bother?

Ryou was standing at the entrance of the warehouse, looking very nervous. Bakura appeared behind his back and started to massage his shoulders. Ryou yelped and jumped away. Bakura just stared at him, hands up in mid-air.
"Did I startle you?" He grinned, pulled the boy back and continued his massage.
"No! You just scared me to death." He went back to his nervous stance. His lover shot him a questioning glance. Ryou sighed and leaned against the darker one.
"Bakura, I'm just scared of Yuugi's reaction. I don't want to lose him, you know. It's not that I don't like Malik, he helped me with the bullies, but Yuugi..." He searched for words.
"Is more serious? Can keep things quiet?" Bakura suggested.
"Yes! I tust him more then I trust Malik. I have this bond with Yuugi. And I don't have that with Malik. We've been through so much together...he even defended me when he knew he would get hurt in my place." Ryou closed his eyes, a tear running down his cheek. "I don't want to lose another friend..."(1)
Bakura wiped the tear off and gave Ryou a kiss on his now wet cheek. "There's only one way to find out how he takes it, and that's by confronting Yuugi... I sense him coming. Be careful." Bakura dissapeared, causing Ryou to fall backwards.
"A little warning in the future, thank you!" He glared at the sky.
"Eum...Ryou? What you're glaring at?" Yuugi looked up at the sky.
"Nothing." Ryou scratched the back of his head. Yuugi sweatdropped. "Come on, let's enter." Ryou pushed the doors open and they went inside.
When they were comfortable on the pillows Ryou brought, Ryou took a deep breath and turned to Yuugi. "Did you bring the puzzle?"
"Yes, it's in my bag. Why?"
"Not important for now. Second question: do you believe in the supernatural?"
"Ryou, where's this heading to? Why..."
"Just answer the question, Yuugi, please. Do you believe in the supernatural, yes or no?" Ryou's eyes were serious, and even angsty. Yuugi thought for a second.
"I think, but I'm not sure. Look, what's that has to do with my puzzle? And aren't we supposed to meet someone here?"
"Yes we are. So you believe in the supernatural?"
"Yes, but..."
"Shhht. I'll call him." When Yuugi wanted to ask further, Ryou silenced him with his hand.
"Please Yuugi. This is hard enough already without your questions. Just...promise me we'll stay friends after this?" At Yuugi's nod, Ryou took a deep breath. "Give me a couple of seconds, okay?" The boy closed his eyes and contacted Bakura.
/Bakura...can you come/
-/Are you really sure of this? There's no getting back after this one./-
/Yes. Please, Bakura.../
-/I'll come. Don't worry, Ryou, everything will be fine./- He sent Ryou mental assurance and broke the connection.
Ryou opened his eyes, and Yuugi couldn't help but notice the uncertainty in his eyes.
"Yuugi, I'd like you to meet my boyfriend." A person appeared next to his side.
"This is Bakura. Bakura, Yuugi."
Yuugi's mouth fell open.
"Hello to you too, Yuugi." The almost-Ryou-twin said and grinned.
"Hey...?" Yuugi turned around and started to run away, ignoring Ryou's desperate calls. This is crazy... I must be crazy...yeah, that's it... But when he looked back, Ryou II was still there, now consoling Ryou who thought that Yuugi had ran off. He could faintly hear the words "I knew it...I should never...damn it…just like before…" The boy leaned against the other and looked heartbroken. Yuugi slowly walked back.
Bakura, who noticed him, gave him a faint smile. Yuugi looked at Ryou, while silently asking permission to go to the boy. Bakura nodded, and moved away from Ryou. "Wha...?"
"Ryou...I'm sorry...I just..." He couldn't continue his sentence because Ryou had jumped up and had pushed him down the ground. "Yuugi...don't leave...just don't leave..." He clinged to the duelist like he was his last lifeline. Tears soaked his jacket.
"Ryou, look at me. Look at me." Amethyst eyes met watery brown ones. "I won't go away. I promise. It's just, well, kinda strange to see someone pop up out off nowhere." He grinned sheepishly.
"You'll stay? Oh gods, thank you..." He embraced Yuugi tighter.
"I don't want to interrupt something between you two, but wasn't there a reason Ryou wanted us to meet?" Bakura pulled Ryou off of Yuugi. "You're supposed to do that with me, not with him. Like that one time, when..."
"Waaaay too much information. And he has a point, Ryou. You told me to bring the puzzle. What for?" Yuugi stood up and cleaned himself off. Damnit, that won't go off anymore... There was a large white spot on his favorite black leather pants, and it didn't went off when he scratched at it. No fun... He frowned.
Bakura just arched an eyebrow at Yuugi's frown and lazily waved his hand. The spot dissapeared. Yuugi looked up, a surprised look in his eyes. Bakura shrugged and Ryou waited uncertainly for the boy's reaction. "You know, I'm starting to like you." And this made Ryou laugh again.
"Now, let me see this puzzle of yours..."
"Be right back. Oh, and I'll take my time." He gave Ryou a thumbs up and walked away. Ryou blushed, then sighed and lowered himself to the ground. "You ok?" Bakura sat down next to him.
"Yeah. I'm glad he accepted you.. I don't know what I would have done if he really had ran away. I don't think I would be able to have another person disappear out of my life." Bakura picked the boy up and placed him in his lap.
I don't know either,Ryou, I don't know. I'm just glad we don't need to find that out now. He nuzzled the boy's neck, then turned Ryou's head and kissed him. First slowly, then more pasionate. Deciding he wanted to go a step farther, Bakura nibbled at Ryou's lip to get entrance, wich Ryou gladly gave. Bakura's tongue caressed Ryou's, and a battle for dominance began. Bakura had just won when they heard a cough.
"Did I interrupt something?" Yuugi stood there, grinning, puzzlebox in his hands.
"Oh no. Feel free to join!" Ryou just hid his head in Bakura's chest, his face now entirely red.
"Bakura, you flatter me. And I would just love to join in. But, unfortunately, there are more pressing matters. This." He held up the box.
"Shame, shame. I would be honoured to have you joining us but, indeed, there are more pressing matters." He winked at Yuugi. "Ryou..." Ryou shook his head, still in Bakura's jacket.
"Ryou, darling, what would you think if we invited Yuugi here for a night of pure fun and raw passion?" His voice was serious and sounded as if he was asking to have some candy.
"No! Look, just cut it out, please?" Ryou looked up.
"What if I don't want to?"
"Then you may sleep outside, for the front door. And now serious, please. Just for this once?"
"I'm never allowed to have fun with you! May I see the puzzle?"
"Everything for our poor little I'm-not-allowed-to-do-anything-Bakura." Yuugi handed Bakura the Puzzle.
"Who's little here? Neh? Not me." Yuugi huffed.
"I'm not little, just vertically challenged."
"That's just the same, dwarf. Admit it that you're small."
"Yeah, I know I'm small already. I know it from since I went to school..."
/Stop it Bakura. It's kinda...touchy. He is bullied a lot because of his size./
-/I didn't know...sorry./-
/Say that to him./
"Yuugi? I'm sorry."
"It's okay, Bakura. You couldn't have known. Now, what's with the puzzle?"
"It is what I thought it was, and you are who I thought you were. Our little...argument prove that to me."
"But what is it? And who am I?" Yuugi looked confused.
Bakura shook his head. "I can't tell you that. You have to figure that out on your own. The sooner you solve it, the sooner you'll know." He gave Yuugi an apologetically smile. "I'm sorry I can't do more."
Yuugi looked dissapointed. "I understand, but can't you just give one hint?" He used his puppy-dog-eyes.
"You too? Damnit, don't look at me like that. Alright, just cut the eyes."
"What's the clue? Come on Bakura, I wanna know what I'm doing. I don't want to unleash some kind of monster on the world."
"So you already figured out the complete-it-and-somebody-comes-out-part? Not bad. Look, the only thing I can say is that you're going to love it."
"It better be worth all the trouble... But I have to go, it's already late. And you know my grandfather..." Yuugi rolled his eyes.
"Yes, I know him. So go home quick, before he gives you another lecture." Ryou ushered him away.
"Don't worry, I'll do just that. Oh, hey, Bakura."
"Mmm?"
"I hope to get that night of pure fun and raw passion soon. Keep in touch!"
"I surely will stay in touch. You'll get your night." He felt Ryou press his head in his jacket again. "Sfof if, pfeafe."
"Good night to you too, Ryou." Yuugi ran off.
Finally alone... Bakura grinned like crazy.
"Oh Ryou?"
"Yef?" Bakura pulled Ryou' head out off his sweater and started to kiss him again. At the same time, Ryou felt a strange tug and knew that Bakura had teleported them. The dark one lied the boy on bed and crawled on top of him. "Let's have some fun..."
Ryou pulled Bakura's head down. "No talking. Do it."
"That's the way I like it..." He captured the boy's mouth.

Yuugi sneaked past his grandfather's room and to his own. After pulling on his PJ's, he pulled out the puzzle and continued working on it.
