(I'm in a hurricane as I write this so….)

------

The alarm rang. It was time to get up.

Ryou growled as he pushed the clock away and off the edge of the nightstand it stood on. He woke up completely when he heard the Cracking noise of its frame being split open.

Well.. need a new one of those…

His hair was abit tangled. Sleepily, he ran a hand through his white locks and managed to get his hand snagged. He yelped and tenderly pulled it out. Grrr… His eyes twitched. Grr indeed. Rising from the confines of his bed, Ryou proceeded to go about his daily chores, within the next 10 minutes. After that, he shivered as he stood bored as hell. He wanted to go out and go somewhere…but his friends? He walked towards his wall phone and dialed Yugi's number…but just before he pressed "Talk" it rang by itself. Jumping a bit, he answered. It was Yugi…..Was he psychic…?

"Hey Ryou! Wanna go somewhere?"….Ryou smiled a bit and replied with his answer. Yes...He would go somewhere……. Yugi laughed and told him they'd be at the Domino Café, to be there in ten minutes. Then they hung up, and Ryou went on to get ready for the trip. He put on his clothes….a nice black shirt with dark blue jeans. He put on an over shirt over the black tee and smiled. He'd leave it unbuttoned…(Another shirt over a tee..means another button up shirt Larger size over it. Well not really that big..) Anyways, within five minutes the boy was ready and heading for the door…grabbing some money on the way out. He closed to door, locked it with his extra key and left, making sure Bakura wasn't on his way home… The coast clear, he practically ran for the Café.

…Café…

" Ryou! You made it!"

Yugi's happy eyes caught sight of the little white haired boy. He was easy to spot anyways…. Ryou only nodded and smiled, walking up to the booth they all sat. and by they, he meant : Anzu, Yugi, Jou, and Honda. All of them took a while to recognize the white haired boy's presence.. . but eventually they did. They all seem like they don't want me here. Look at them, pretending to like me. It makes me sick really. Why can't they just accept me for who I am?

Speaking of which..really…Do I think they can realize that I am in need of assistance…

No. Not really.

He smiled as Yugi scooted over to make room for him; the booth was amazingly able to fit all of them without any problem. He smiled and allowed the waitress to take the order, ordering something that wasn't all that expensive. A small cup of coffee, straight. Everyone stared a bit but said nothing else. When the girl left, Anzu shuddered and looked at Ryou. "How can you drink that stuff?" He just shrugged in reply. He never really did know. He just …liked the taste is all.

Soon the booth began to fill with chatter, mindless chatter about nothing really important. Like when some show was supposed to be on…such stuff like that. He really didn't care for any of that. He wanted someone intelligent to talk to for once…plus he kind wondered where Yami was… Yugi musta lost him somewhere…

"Ryou, you okay?"

Not really. I wonder if Bakura will be coming home tonight…then again, he wouldn't want to miss his appointment with blood. I wonder if any of these people will care that I am gone. No. They don't even care now. I don't even care about myself…what have I now?

"Ryou…?" Yugi called once more. His amethyst eyes glittered with some worry. When the brown eyed boy turned at his name, Yugi caught the lifeless tone and sorrow entrapped in his eyes. Then as if it was nothing, the look faded like a ghost. It sent Yugi chills.

"Yes Yugi-chan?"

"N..N-nothing Ryou. Forget it."

A'N: And that's it for now. I'm getting paranoid the power will turn off any minute now, So I'll finish up the chapter later on, alright? Well I'll continue this scene later. Like in another chapter. Yeaa…Well, send me reviews please and such and thanks for reading this far! -- Ryou Marik
