Hello Bishounen Lover Seeker here. I don't own Yugioh and I'm really sorry for all the misspellings or errors from the last chapter. I can't believe I was so careless but again I didn't check my story from head to toe before I let it out to the public. However this chapter won't be so difficult. I hope. I hope it wasn't too annoying, because again I'm really sorry. Please check out my profile and enjoy. Thank you.

Ryou Exposed!

Part Two: The golden and the Ryou.

Ryou backed away from his father in alarm knowing what he had just done. In a corner of the room, his mother crouched half way down almost laughing her head off, while trying to keep herself from falling by supporting herself on a brown desk to the right of her. In the living room, Amane finished cleaning her mess, heard the laughter, and headed towards the door with curiosity. Standing a few feet from the door stood Ryou and his father. His father held his right hand to his chin and boastfully laughed while Ryou's face stood in shock. (Think Ryou's face at Duelist Kingdom when Ryou tried to run from the boulder but stuck in that position.)

"I'm surprised Ryou, It's only been a few months and you didn't even recognize my voice. What a foolish son I've raised."

The anger that built up inside him hadn't been released yet, but he was still peeved. Breaking free of his expression, Ryou put on a serious face, stood up straight, and looked his father right in the eye.

"Father, I will say this simply. You look different from when I last saw you."

"Really how so?" said his father in excitement.

Clamping his hands together, closing his eyes and bowing his head down a little he breathed and began.

"You own a full beard and moustache."

"Yes I didn't really have time to shave most of the trip, but I decided to let it grow."

"You appeared to have gotten a full body tan during your trip which is understandable."

"Oh you noticed! I think it suits me better; good eye Ryou."

The conversation came to a halt when Ryou could finish the tiny footsteps of Amane pounding on the hardwood floor that lied in the way between the living rooms' entrance and the entrance to the door. Amane's jaw dropped seeing the man laughing at her brother. Sounds of socks slipping on the polished floor (polished by Ryou) squeaked loudly. The joyful girl decided to use the polished floor to her advantage. She slid her way towards the door, and squeaked to a stop. Her eyes fell upon the man too. Upon closer inspection her hand appeared to be holding a gray bucket. Ryou could look on in wonder as Amane and the man gazed at each other. Smiling the man spread his arms out wide in order to hug her.

"Amane it's..."

Before the finished the sentence the bucket came upon his head with a loud clang. The father dropped to his knees, and then fell face forward on the floor, unconscious. Ryou stood in shock realizing what his sister had done and rushed over to help the fallen man. Their mother seeing the brutal attack abruptly stopped laughing and grabbed Amane's wrist with such a force to pull her away from the scene. They went in the next room where the mother gave Amane a stern look.

"Amane what have you done?"

"I hit him over the head with my bucket. He was about to assault me."

"That man wasn't going to assault you. He was trying to hug you because he's your father."

"What! I thought he was a salesman trying to make you laugh so you'd buy his shady product! Oh, no Father!"

Amane and the mother rushed to the fallen father being stationed on his feet by Ryou. With Ryou holding his father's right arm around his shoulder, the mother took his left arm around her shoulder, and Amane took hold of his torso. They led him to the den where they laid him on a three-seated navy blue sofa.

(10 minutes later)

"Ugh. My head."

His hand came across a bandage that had been placed where the bucket made impact. A bag of ice stationed over his head. A pitter-patter of small feet came closer and closer until...

"Daddy!"

"Oomph."

Father got glomped by Amane who apologized greatly for hitting him, and after catching his breath he accepted her apology. Ryou and their mother heard the commotion and went to den. Ryou also hugged his father with overwhelming force that he got the wind knocked out of him. The mother bent over and kissed her husband's forehead gently. Ryou and Amane broke their embrace and sat themselves on their father's opposite sides. They prepared themselves to be bombarded by Father's loving boasting.

"Oh Amane, it's been too long. What a swing! Are you playing baseball?"

"No, but I will."

"Excellent, and you better hit some home runs to make up for the bump you implanted in my head."

"Yes, sir!"

"Ryou, You passed your eye test at school but couldn't even recognize your own father. Tsk. Tsk. And I thought you had a good memory. And you Amane. Sure I have a beard and moustache, but at least you could have recognized my voice like your mother did."

"That just says that I know you best dear."

"Indeed, but hey I shouldn't be focusing on that. Amane! I see you've grown a few inches taller and a bit prettier. Say dear there haven't been any suitors while I was gone right?"

"Daddy!" (Blushes)

"No and even if there were they wouldn't be any now that you're back."

"And it better stay that way too."

"Daddy!"(blush)

She turned her pinkish face away from her father's view and his attention turned to Ryou.

"And look at you. But say you've been getting taller as well. You're almost to my height, ha. And by your looks I'd say the girls are swooning at your feet am I right?" he said nudging Ryou with his elbow.

Ryou: "Father, really. The girls don't swoon."

Mother: "No, but they sure are waiting for him when he gets to school!"

"Mother, They don't wait for me."

Mother: "Then what do the reports I get from teachers complaining about how that every morning hundreds of girls that are waiting for you to come to school cause quite a disturbance that they think I should do something about you?"

Ryou: "…They do?"

Mother: "I'll give you the reports if that makes you happy."

Father: "Well I'll be darned! My son, a ladies man before he even enters college!"(laughs)

Ryou thinking: "My word I'll have to pay more attention so it won't cause any more trouble for mother."

Amane: "Hey daddy, what are all those bags you have over there?

They family nearly forgot all the stuff he brought in. It was easy to forget when one is complimenting or embarrassing you.

Mother: "Well then enough about us. Let's hear about your travels."

Father: "Alright then."

The family moved some things to make room for their father's storytelling. Sitting on a mat, they let their father tell them about everything he saw and encountered with. Each tale either made them laugh, gasp, and even cry a little. He even took out some items from his luggage to prove his stories were true. As he was narrating this one however, things took a serious turn…

"And when I told him 'No more snacks for you!' that camel spat right in my eye."

Amane: "Eww! How Gross!"

Ryou: "How awful. You're not hurt are you?"

Father: "No, thank goodness."

Mother: "Where is that beast? I'll give it a whooping so hard it'll be wanting to head for Antarctica to cool its sore bottom!"

Father: "Now wait a minute dear. I'm sure that camels' run off now after hearing that threat."

Amane: "What! The camel was here?"

Ryou: "No Amane. I think what father meant was that if the camel was here he would have run off."

Amane: "Oh, but quite right. If that camel were here mother would definitely scare it away."

Mother: "Darn right!"

As the story went on, Amane couldn't help but look at the items her father had brought back. Each and every one played roles in her father's stories whether it the carpet used to flag down a person when he got lost in the desert or the figurine he received for assisting an archaeologist with his findings. As she came to the small cat statue her eyes caught a small brown bag left in the far right corner. She wondered why their father hadn't mentioned the bag before. Wanting an explanation she raised her hand like a student waiting to be called on by a teacher.

Father: "That good for nothing beast spat right in my eye so I…"

Amane: "Father?"

Mother: "Amane, you know it's not polite to interrupt when someone is talking."

Amane: "Yes mother, but there's a small bag over there next to father's shoes."

Surprised at her comment, Ryou and their mother turned their attention to where the bag lay. It was in a corner all by itself as if abandoned. The three knew it wasn't like their father to be hiding something. Anything they had to show and/or say bad or good was usually discussed in front of the family.

Ryou: "Father. Is that bag over there something reserved for you and mother?"

Father: "No of course not, if it was something like that I'd tell you two firsthand not to go near it."

Ryou: "If it's not something adult then what is it?"

Amane: "It's not drugs is it?"

Father: "No! I wouldn't get past customs if I did. Why would you say such a thing?"

Amane: "Because you just lied."

Father: "When did I lie?"

Mother: "When you told us you didn't have any more things to show us."

Father: "Oops."

Ryou: "So what is it then? If it's not drugs nor adult items?"

The father sighed and chuckled a bit. He turned to face his family and prepared to face the truth.

Father: "I was saving this for your birthday Ryou, but I guess your sister spoiled the surprise."

Amane: "Oops Sorry oni-chan."

Ryou: "It's all right. However since you spoiled the surprise, I'll expect you to switch chores with me on my birthday."

Amane: "What! No fair, that means I have to do the dishes. Mother."

Mother: "I'm sorry Amane but if it's his birthday wish then I'm afraid it's law."

Amane: "Just wait oni-chan. I'll get you back on mine."

Father: "Oh no I hope you won't go too hard on Ryou, Amane."

Mother: "So where's this gift already!"

Father: "Coming, Coming. I'd say your more anticipating this gift than Ryou."

Amane and Ryou laughed while the mother blushed full pink with embarrassment. The father went over to where the bag lied and brought it over to the three. Surrounding the bag with curiosity, the family stared as the father unraveled the white sheet that was inside. All of them gasped in amazement at the sight before them. Its design was unlike any they had ever seen. The description of it would be too hard, but here's what they saw. The entire casing shone brightly with its golden texture. A thinned out circle surrounded a right side up triangle. In the triangle laid an eye that someone would see in hieroglyphics. Dangling from the bottom were five small upside down golden cones. All were the same distance apart and also touched with gold. Two cones, one on opposite sides, hung while three dangled at the bottom.

Amane: "What is it?"

Father: "It's called the Millennium Ring. I bought it from a merchant while I was shopping in Egypt. He told me that this Millennium item is related to that game Magic and Wizards (Duel Monsters) that you're so fond of Ryou, and that it had belonged to someone for worked for one of the previous Pharaohs.

Amane and Mother: "Wow."

Father: "Ryou."

Ryou: "Yes."

(Extends item) Father: "Happy early birthday."

Ryou: "Thank you, Father." He took the ring and held it in his hands looking in amazement.

Mother: "Ryou there's a loophole on the top. Maybe we can find something so that you can wear it."

Ignoring her brother Amane went up to her father and nudged him.

Father: "What is it, Amane?"

Amane: "So what did you get for me, Father?"

Father: "Well now what did I get you…" He looked in his bag for a while searching then he turned over the bag and shouted. "Nothing!"

Amane: "What!" (Stands up) "No fair, you have all that stuff and then you give oniichan something but not me. To quote a smart girl 'How Rude!' (AN: Line spoken by Stephanie Tanner on Full House)"

Father: (laughs) "Just kidding, pet." He handed her a bracelet covered with jade that he took from his pocket.

Amane: "Oh thank you." (Runs off to room to put it in there)

Father: (calling out) "You're welcome." (Sighs)

Ryou: "Is it alright if I went to my room now it is getting late."

(Looks at clock almost near 10:30 p.m.) Father: "My goodness, how time flies. Did my stories last that long? Oh well off to bed with you."

Mother: "I can't believe it's Sunday. Tomorrow's school, Ryou make sure Amane knows its time for bed."

Ryou: "Yes ma'am. Goodnight Father, Goodnight Mother"

He gave his father a soft hug and his mother a peck on the check. Then he proceeded to go up the stairs to his room as his parents said goodnight also. After they watched Ryou go up the stairs, the father got up and started putting away some of his souvenirs. Seeing her opportunity the mother walked cautiously towards her husband, bent over, and put her arms around his torso, causing him to move a little in alarm, but it subsided and while she embraced him he asked calmly

"What's this then?"

"My gift to you of course."

He blushed and turned himself around so he could face her. Their eyes met with a feeling of loneliness and want. Both had missed their other deeply and couldn't wait any longer to express their feelings. The father bent down and kissed her forehead gently wrapping his arms around her in a soft embrace. The mother giggled a little feeling the whiskers brush against her head, apologized, and encased each other's lips in a warm kiss. No tongue, but a nice lip-to-lip contact. When their lips separated, the two let go of each other and sat themselves on the couch. The mother rested her head on her husbands shoulder, and he rested her head upon her head, as he was taller.

"Did you really miss me while I was gone?" she asked looking into his eyes.

"Of course, dear. I missed you every single day. Didn't you get any of my letters?" he replied causing and her eyes and his to meet. Both flaming with passion as the words escaped their lips.

"Yes and they lifted up my heart every time I read them."

"I missed you, dear."

"I missed you too" she replied gently.

Their calm moment turned raunchy as the lights were dimmed downstairs. Upstairs was a different story as an anxious Ryou lay in his bed. In his buttoned up lilac pajama top with matching bottoms, enclosed in his hand was the golden ring his father just gave him. Examining it with anticipation, he just couldn't fall asleep yet.

Ryou: "Imagine what my friends would say when I show this to them. Maybe we can play Monster World (yawn) tomorrow."

He placed the ring on the desk beside his bed, knelt on the edge of the bed, put up his hands to his forehead, and said his prayers. After finishing he slid into bed, closed his eyes, and happily awaited tomorrow with a smile across his face. What he didn't know was that another was awaiting tomorrow. This other person however had other plans.

The ring glowed in the surrounding darkness emitting a black and purple aura, which filled the room. Poor Ryou slept and didn't respond to the aura that crept inside his body. Getting past the skin, the aura took a trip into his bloodstream and explored his body. Surfing through the bloodstream it passed the lungs and heart. Anything that got in its way was eliminated like white blood cells and bacteria. Battling its way through the nasal passages it finally rested to its destination. Lying before the strange aura stood Ryou's brain, the source of all his brilliance, and the new home for the unwelcome guest. It seeped through into a corner into Ryou's mind where a lone door stood in the surrounding darkness. There was work to be done since the ambiance planned on staying for a while. Taking form, it went from its purple and gray and outlined itself to the form of a young man. His hair resembled the color of daisy petals while spiked like a palm trees' leaves. His skin, the creamy hue of Gerber's bananas baby food. The eyes painted like dark chocolate and slanted. His condition: Naked and nothing to wear, but it didn't bother him for as this was the start of his revenge and plans; a second chance to display his power. His echoing laugh rang through the dark room. In far away neighbors, dogs howled in alarm, cats screeched and hissed, while crows hovered over Ryou's house as if death was coming. Indeed it was coming, but no one in that house could have imagined the trauma, the pain, and the sorrow that would befall on their lives. Nothing would be the same again.

Bouncers 1 and 2: "Whoa"

Author: "Yep, and I will write that painful event the best I can." The manga (vol 6/7) only talked about it but I will write it execrating detail. Also maybe I should have called this Ryou's beginnings.

Bouncer 1: "Maybe but then it wouldn't fit for your later chapters."

Author: "True"

Ryou: "Excuse me, Author-san. (All look at direction) Oh excuse me (pushes through crowd) "Excuse me. Sorry. Oh pardon me. There. Whew. Sorry for interrupting, but how did you get all that information about me from the last chapter?"

Author: "Uh… bouncers help! Oh uh, Review Please!"
