Lady Ai: Hello my dear readers and reviewers. I'm back with more angst.
Yami Ai: Let the angst pour out like the blood from your cuts!
Lady Ai: O.o Um Yami has been into this angsty mood for some time now, as am I. I'm not gonna go all personal but the reason why I'm angsty is because I keep thinking about this one guy. TT Why is it hard to put him in the back of my mind?
Yami Ai: I thought you weren't gonna get all personal.
Lady Ai: I can go as personal as I want, jerk-off. You don't have to deal with the fact that the person you lo- have a crush on doesn't like you back! SO BACK THE HELL OFF!
Yami Ai: O.O /sweatdrop/
Lady Ai/Inhale...Exhale/ Anyway, I feel like Ryou (thank god that I haven't cut myself though). When I'm sad or hurt, I laugh about it. I really do think it's stupid to be stressed about someone when it's unnecessary. So, Ryou is gonna be like me in a way (and since I'm a girl, he'll have mood swings as well!)
Yami Ai: Yay! Mood Swings! (That was sarcasim if you couldn't tell)
Disclaimer: Hey Yami Ai, guess what! (Yami Ai: What?) I don't own anything (Yami Ai: Psh, I already knew that!)
This means flashback 'Thoughts' Xx This means change of POV xX This means skips time/scene /Yugi's mind link/Yami's Mindlink/
Lady Ai: As my Yami has stated earlier...
Let the angst pour out like the beautiful dark red blood from your cuts.

Chapter Six:
Beautifully Morose
Xx Author POV xX
"Hey, Yami. Would you check up on Ryou for me?" Yugi said. Both of the tri-colored hair boys were worried about their white haired friend. They had arrived not that long after Ryou had. Yami nodded and rushed up the stairs while Yugi went to the kitchen.
Yami was about to knock on the door when he heard a gently sad voice through the door.
"Damn it, Bakura. What have you done?"
Yami opened the door and his eyes widened from the sight. Ryou was lying on the bed, his arm raised. A small drop of blood fell on Ryou's snow white hair. Ryou got up, abrutly, and rushed toward the door. He tried closing it in Yami's face but Yami grabbed the door to push it open. They started to have a tug of war with the door but the door didn't close.
"What's wrong, Ryou? Why don't you let me in?" Yami said.
"Because I don't want anyone to see me in this state." Ryou pushed the door harder.
"You have to understand," Yami grunted, putting his weight into opening the door, "Yugi and I, we just want to help you!"
Ryou started to hiccup through his sobs. "I don't need help! I need...I NEED B-BAKURA!" Ryou finally gave up on the door. He fell back sitting on the floor. He ignored the pain that hit his bottom and he held his head in his hands. Yami almost fell on his face when the door suddenly opened.
Yami starightned himself up and kneeled down next to Ryou. 'I better not let Yugi see this.' Yami thought. He kicked the door closed and turned back to face Ryou.
Yami saw that Ryou's shoulders were shaking terribly. He placed both of his hands on thoes shoulders to calm him down. Ryou collapsed on Yami. He hugged Yami's waist and cried on his shoulder. Yami was a bit shocked but shrugged it off and hugged Ryou back.
"Why did you do this to yourself?" Yami asked, remembering the blood that dripped from Ryou's arm. Ryou sat up, pulling away from Yami, and started to wipe away some tears. "I don't know. It's stupid and I don't know why I did this again!"
"Again?" Yami asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Last time I did this was when...I-I saw Akina cheating on Bakura. She told me, she threatened me, that if I told Bakura what had happened that day, she would personally see to it that Bakura never talked to me again and that she'd tell Kisit that I was the one cheating."
Ryou started to breath in and out deeply. "I hate that women. How dare she treat Bakura like that? Why would she even consider coming back?"
"There, there. Ryou-chan, everything going to be fine. A girl like her will always get what she wants...but it'll not last forever. Bakura is going to find out all his feelings. They'll not be dating for long I can asure you, but...as for returning your feelings..." Yami trailed off as he saw Ryou nodded in understanding.
"Promise you won't do something like this again?" Yami said, grabbing a hold of Ryou's shoulder again. Ryou smiled and nodded. "I promise." Yami smiled back at Ryou. He got up to leave but then felt a hand grab his wirst. "Please don't tell anyone ok? That I cut myself, ok?" Yami sighed but nodded. Ryou let go of his grip and Yami walked out.
The first thing he saw was a hyper active Yugi infront of him. "How is he?" "He's doing just fine, go to sleep. And what did I tell you about eating sugar before bedtime?".
"Ano, don't eat sugar before bedtime. Or don't eat sugar ever for that matter."
"And what did you do?"
"Ano...heh, eat sugar?"
"Correct Hikari-mine. Now off to bed with you, I'll be there in a moment." Yugi nodded and went off into the bedroom.
In Ryou's bedroom
Ryou had cleaned up the shattered pieces of mirror from the bathroom floor and wrapped a cloth around his bleeding arm. Ryou decided to get some sleep, it had been a long day and seeing Bakura again made it worse...yet better. Ryou set his head down on his pillow, getting comfortable. His hand travled under his pillow and took out a picture. The picture was Bakura sitting on a bench in the park, a sakura tree behind him. He was sitting with one legged crossed over the other and his arms were resting on the back rest of the bench. Bakura was looking off into the sky, not noticing that Ryou was about to take a picture.
Flashback
Bakura was thinking over things...
'Why the hell did I let hikari bring me here? I hate today. Of all days he wants to go to the park, he chooses my brithday.'
It was the Yami's birthday, and for some reason he disliked it. Maybe it was the fact that no one celebrated it. Well, it wasn't really their fault, he's never told anyone.
Bakura was lost in thought when he heard a snap. He quickly turned his head infront of him and saw Ryou kneeling on the floor, a camra in hand. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" Bakura asked.
"I've realized, we've never taken pictures since we met. I always like to make memories with my friends."
"Hm, whatever." Mumbled Bakura. Ryou smiled and took two more pictures; one of himself and another one with the two teens together on the bench.
End flashback
Ryou sighed, kissed the picture and placed it back under the pillow. He started to think about more times with Bakura. First time going to the movies, Bakura choked on popcorn and cursed the popcorn to hell in the middle of the movie. Ryou also had to teach Bakura to ride a bike, which lead to Ryou running to a pharmacy store to get another first aid kit. Ryou had started to have an infatuation with Bakura until that fateful day that Akina showed up.
Flashback
Ryou cheerfully opened the door and closed it behind him. "Bakura-kun! I'm home! I was thinking of watching a movie tonight. Bakura?" Ryou walked into the living room and noticed an empty couch. He went into the kitchen and there was no sign of Bakura. Ryou rushed up the stairs and into Bakura's bedroom.
"Eek! Sorry!"
Ryou quickly closed the door and ran to the bathroom to rinse out his eyes.
'Oh my gosh! I didn't know Bakura could bend that way! And who was the chick?'
Ryou dried his face and stared at the mirror. He laughed for a bit but stopped abrubtly. He felt like someone pitched his heart. Ryou felt his eyes get all sting-y.
End Flashback
Ryou weeped the whole night, falling asleep with two tear stained cheeks.
The next day, school.
Yami and Yugi were eating some eggs and toast in the kitchen when a humming Ryou came twirling in. "Ano..." Yami said, a raised eyebrow. Yugi smiled. "Good morning Ryou-chan! I see you're feeling better than how I saw you last night." Yami nodded in agreement.
Ryou stopped dead in his tracks and slowly turned around and glared at his friends. "Don't you dare mention the other night. Ever." He hissed. Yami and Yugi looked scared as they saw the glare on Ryou's face turn into a smile. Ryou started to hum again.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Yugi asked when he saw Ryou grab his book bag and was heading toward the door. Ryou looked thoughtful for a moment. "Iie, I'll have a snack later." Ryou smiled. "Do you want me to wait for you guys?". "No, go ahead Ryou-chan." Yami said taking a sip of coffee. Yugi and Yami both looked at their friend as he walked out the door, humming.
At Bakura's place...
Bakura abrubtly got up and slammed the alarm clock against the wall. Bakura had a head ache, he doesn't want anyone in his way. But he almost never got what he wanted...
"Hmmm, good morning, Sexy Baku-koi."
Bakura growled at Akina. "I'm not in the mood."
"But you are always in the mood." Akina started to caress Bakura's bare chest.
"Not this morning. Go hump the chair or something, just leave me alone." Bakura smacked her hand away and locked himself in the bathroom. Akina glared at the bathroom door. She dressed up in her normal slut outfit, brushed her blue hair and placed on her contacts that made her red eyes even redder (somehow).
At school with Ryou and Co.
"DANCE DANCE! We're falling apart to half time! DANCE DANCE! These are the lives you love to lead-"
"Mutt, stop. Singing."
Joey was leaning by Seto's locker while Ryou was walking toward them (his locker was next to Seto's). Ryou smiled as he saw his friends quarrel. "Good morning, guys!"
"Ryou! You've been skipping alot."
"You're one to talk, Joey!" Ryou said smiling and jabbing his index finger in Joey's chest. Joey, being ticklish, giggled. Ryou turned to open his locker when he saw multi-colored spikes below him. Seto chuckled as he saw a startled Ryou cling to Joey. "Eek!"
Yugi smiled as Yami walked up behind Joey and Ryou. Yami tapped Joey's and Ryou's shoulder. They both turned their heads slowly.
"Boo."
"EEEEK!"
Seto raised an eyebrow as two teens screamed and fell to the floor. Yugi giggled and Yami grabbed Yugi's waist, stealing a kiss. Ryou and Joey got up. "Well, I'm glad everyone has not been completly affected by my absence." Ryou said, taking his books out of the locker.
"Not affected? How can you say that!"
Ryou turned and smiled to see his other friends; Malik, Marik, Tea and Tristain. "Hey, guys." Ryou said. Tea gave Ryou a huge hug. "FRIEND!"
"Oh dear kami."
"Hehe, don't worry Ryou-chan! Mai got me into therapy and they gave me some medicine to control my friend rants!" Everyone sighed in relief. "Now, why didn't I think of that?" mused Seto. Tea rolled her eyes and said good bye to everyone before going to her locker. Tristain also had to leave seeing that he had a teacher conference that morning.
Malik and Marik hugged Ryou before leaving. "We've all missed you!" Marik yelled, his arms in the air. Everyone nodded, even Seto.
"Marik is correct. Why haven't you been seen lately?"
Ryou's eyes widened. He turned around when Yami and Yugi parted to reveal someone with white-silvery hair behind them.
"B-Bakura."
"Answer my question, Ryou."
Ryou felt like throwing up. He turned pale and everyone noticed. Seto stepped forward. "Leave Ryou alone. I know you've done enough." Bakura glared at the blue-eyed teen before sighing, turning and leaving.
Everyone adjusted their gaze from Bakura to Ryou. Ryou gulped. He strongfully held down his tears. The bell rang and Ryou pushed his way across the crowded hall of students. Hey, if he wouldn't cry, then he had to do something to show his emotions and that meant snapping at anyone who pissed him off even for the tinest bit. A cheerleader wouldn't get out of the way and she was giggling madly. Ryou glared at her and pushed her to the floor. She started to cry. "Next time, get out of the way." Ryou hissed.
Xx Yugi's POV xX
/Yami...I'm worried/
/Why so hikari-mine/
/Ryou.../
/What about him? You must tell me if you notice anything wrong with him./
/Remember this morning, he didn't eat breakfast/
/But he said he'd eat a snack/
/He didn't even eat lunch today. I doubt he'll eat dinner tonight/
/I'll have a talk with him later. For now, calm down my koi/
Yami smiled at me and grabbed my hand underneath the table in class. I smile back at him and turn my gaze to Ryou. He's taking notes every now and then but he keeps turning his attention to a certain other white haired teen. Bakura was also taking notes. I tug on Yami's arm and point at Bakura and what he's doing. His eyes widened but then smirked.
"That baka. I knew he didn't really like Akina." Yami whispered. We saw Bakura doing the same as Ryou was doing. Take notes, look at the other before they notice, then go back to their papers. "They really like each other, Yami. But Bakura has to be the idiot and go out with the slut. Why?"
Yami shrugged. "Many reasons I guess. To make Ryou jeolous, I doubt it. My guess is that he's just lost in puberty, hehe." "Kami, that sounded wrong." Yami smiled and held my hand tighter. He's not gonna get any tonight...
/Aww/
/Baka/
Xx Ryou's POV xX
The bell rang. I let all my friends go ahead of me as I stay in the classroom.
"Bye Ryou! See ya at home!" Yugi yelled walking out hand in hand with Yami. I sigh and back up my things. Just then someone slammed a paper on my desk. I look up, Bakura.
"Take this back, I don't need it." I look back down at it and notice it's the drawing and the note I gave him. I grab it and ball it up. "Whatever." He glared at me as I walked out. As soon as I got out, I ran to the bathroom and opened a stall. I hung over a toliet as I felt like throwing up. I didn't though, I ended up coughing furiously.
I got out and drank water from the water fountain. Before I left the school, I saw them. You can imagine what they were doing, it could be nothing compared to what I've seen them do.
Again, I wish I was able to crash her head into a wall and then Bakura and I would drink some Bloody Akina that night (A/N: Oh god! Bad Joke!)
At the airport.
A girl with long red hair in a bright pink dress was anxiously hoping around her boyfriend and her boyfriend's friend.
"Kisit, calm down, hun."
"I can't Eric! I'm so excited! I want to see all myold friends! And to see my special sister-hn?" Eric placed a finger over his mouth then pointed to his friend with long black hair and chocolate eyes. He was wearing black ripped jeans and a dark gray band shirt. "Oh, I'm sorry Chris."
Chris smiled. "It's ok Kisit-chan. 'Chan', right?" Kisit nodded and smiled at her american friend. He chuckled and petted her hair. "Let's go find your friends." Her eyes brightened and she kept jumping up and down. Eric grabbed her waist as they walked out, luggage in hand.
