66666 At the hotel 66666
Yami sighed as he lay on the hotel bed staring at the ceiling. "Damn Seth. Now where am I supposed to go? I don't want to interrupt Yugi and Bakura, I'll get jumped at teh Ishtar's, and there's no one else I feel comfortable with. Well I guess Jounouchi, but he's staying with Anzu...Damn it all..."
66666 Yugi's house 6666
Bakura was happily curled up on the couch with Yugi watching a horror movie. This was a plus for Bakura because Yugi was clinging to him constantly. His bliss was rudely interrupted by an overly excited hikari.
:Kura!!!:
Bakura's eye twitched slightly. -What do you want, Ryou?-
:I got a job!:
Bakura raised an eyebrow as he recalled the hell Ryou had been going through the past few weeds trying to get a job. -That's nice. Where?-
:(nervos laugh) Ticket salesman...for Kaiba Land...:
-...-
:...Um...Kura?:
-...What the fuck?!-
:(sigh) I knew you'd act like that...:
-Why there?!-
:Please don't be angry...I really need this job, Kura.:
Bakura sighed in irritation. -Fine. Just stay away from Kaiba.-
:Honestly Kura, what are the chances he'll come to his own...I have to go.:
-What?-
:I'm at work now. Customer. Got to go. Ryou quickly cut the link and put up shields so Bakura couldn't read his thoughts or emotions.:
'How odd...' Bakura decided to shrug it off and continued enjoying his time with Yugi.
66666 Kaiba Land 66666
Ryou smiled pleasently as Mokuba and Seto walked up to the ticketstand. "Good afternoon Kaiba, Mokuba."
Mokuba stared up at Ryou, confused. "Ryou? Why are you here on a day like this"
Seto just gazed evenly at Ryou, wondering the same thing.
"Well, I really needed teh money. I just managed to get this job yesterday."
"But Ryou! It's a crime to work on such a beautiful day!" Suddenly, Mokuba's face lit up. "I know! You can hang out with me and Seto today at the park! And Seto will even make sure you get paid for today, right, Seto?" Mokuba looked up at Seto with pleading teary eyes.
Seto automatically gave into Mokuba's puppy eyes and sighed. "Sure. It wouldn't hurt anything."
Ryou hesitated slightly. 'Bakura's gonna kill me... Oh well. He doesn't need to know. I'm not even sure why he hates Kaiba anyways.' Ryou smiled as he took off his workshirt to reveal a light blue tanktop underneath it. He grabbed three all-day passes and left teh ticket booth. "Ok, I could use a day off."
"All right! Let's go!" Mokuba chirped as he grabbed both Ryou's and Seto's hands and pulled them into the amusement park.
Once they were inside, Mokuba made a bee line for the cotton candy stand, leaving Ryou standing next to Seto. He glanced at Seto out of the corner of his eye and gathered up the courage to talk to him.
"Uh...Kaiba? Why isn't Yami with you guys?"
Seto tried to hide his shock. 'He doesn't know? I was sure Yami would tell Bakura and Bakura would have warned Ryou...' He collected himself enough to respond. "We broke up. It wasn't working between us."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Ryou whispered, feeling slightly embarrassed to have asked.
Seto smiled inwardly at Ryou's naiivety. "It's all right. It was mutual, anyways."
Mokuba ran back over to them with cotton candy and grinned. "Ryou, now my real purpose for bringing you with comes into play! I'm going to find the House of Horrors and you stay here and watch Seto! He never likes to come in with me and someone needs to make sure he doesn't try to work!"
Ryou sweatdropped, suddenly starting to wonder how much sugar Mokuba has had and nodded. "Okay..."
"Good!" Mokuba beamed happily before running out of sight.
Ryou glanced at Seto from out of the corner of his eye and blushed lightly. 'Oh great...now we're alone...What am I going to do?'
-Alone with who?-
:Ryou's eyes widdened considerably. Bakura! Stay out of my mind and stop breaking down my sheilds!:
-You know...Yami's single now.-
:Yeah, I know. And I really don't care.:
-Hold on a sec, how do you know?-
:...Bye Kura!: Ryou quickly cut the link again. 'Maybe it's better if Bakura thinks Yami is the one I was in love with...He'd kill me if he found out the truth.'
"Ryou!"
Ryou jumped and quickly looked at Seto. "What?"
Seto sighed in annoyance and crossed his arms. "I've been calling your name for the past five minutes."
Ryou blushed as he looked at the ground. "I'm sorry."
"It's all right. Just don't let it happen again."
Ryou nodded while trying to hide his blush.
Seto raised an eyebrow slightly. 'What's up with him?'
Finally getting his blush under control, Ryou gazed up at Seto and smiled. "Let's go play on the rides!"
Before Ryou could run off, Seto firmly grabbed his wrist and looked down at him suspiciously. "Hold on."
Ryou looked back up at him confused. "Kaiba?"
"What are you playing at?" Seto asked, his voice as cold as ice.
"I don't understand, Kaiba..." Ryou gazed at him with confusion and sadness written in his features.
Seeing how upset Ryou seemed nearly shredded Seto's resolve. His voice softened slightly as he spoke again. "Why are you being so nice to me after I took Yami away from you when everyone know you loved him? Even though we're broken up now, shouldn't you be angry?"
Ryou stared at Seto in confusion, concentrating mostly on the fact that Seto's hand went from his wrist to his own hand. When Seto's words finally clicked, Ryou sweatdropped. 'Oh no...not Kaiba too...'
"Um, actually Kaiba, I was never in love with Yami. I guess it seemed that way, but it wasn't."
Now it was Seto's turn to be confused. "You weren't? Then why did you go into a depression after we started dating?"
Ryou's face turned bright crimson. He responded in a small voice, "You noticed? Nobody but Bakura knows about that..."
"Yes. It was easy for me to read emotions. I know you're hiding something from me, and I will find out what it is." With that said, Seto tightented his grip on Ryou's hand and pulled him towards the nearest rollarcoaster. "We might as well make the most of today."
Ryou felt like his body was about to explode into flames. He couldn't surpress his heavy blush even if he tried. 'Oh dear Ra...He's holding my hand...'
-Hikari!!!!! What the hell is going on?!?!-
:(eye twitches) Bloody hell! Leave me alone and make out with Yugi, or something!: Ryou once again broke the link by slamming his soulroom door shut and putting several locks and barriers over it sense mental blocks didn't seem to work.
'I'm alone with Kaiba Seto for the entire day, there's no way in hell I'll ever get a chance like this again. I'm going to make the most of this.' Ryou smiled as he took a seat next to Seto on the ride, happy things were going his way for once.

Malik: (grins) COOKIE!!! (takes cookie and happily eats it)
