Sorry it's so late, i've had other stuff going on so i couldn't get to my computer.
Elf stretched and laid the still sleeping Yugi on a flat warm sandstone boulder to rest a little longer while he went Out.
The Yami moved through the shin deep water to the oriental redwood and ivory paper sliding door, opened it and moved into Yugi's Soulroom, noticing that the orange hued water stopped dead at the doorframe like a piece of glass was holding it back.
As soon as Elf stepped into the Hikari's Soulroom, he winced at the freezing cold midnight blue marble floor. Though, granted, the room he was in looked nothing like it belonged to Light. Everything was in blues, purples, wine reds, blacks and shades of grey. There was a massive darkwood four-poster on the other side of the equally massive room, covered in midnight blue satin blankets, splashed with pillows of purple, black, grey and wine red. Around the bed were sheer billowy curtains the same shades as the covers and pillows. Placed along the walls around the room were Japanese trees moulded into a variety of graceful shapes that formed symbols for health, protection, wealth and so forth. In the wall directly opposite the bed was a waterfall feature that fell over dark brown rock, into a pool-sized grotto filled with massive bright flame-coloured goldfish and partially surrounded by bamboo reeds. Rainforest sounds tinkled through the air to mesh with the sound of falling water.
In addition to the plants, every here and there, imbedded in the tiles, were numerous puzzles and board games. In the walls were Indian palace style arch windows lined in painted patterns and looking out into a Zen garden.
Elf contemplated the room before deciding he liked it better than the one before it, and continued over to and out the darkly lacquered gothic door. Pity the room's dimensions were so totally out of whack. Somehow he didn't think the walls were supposed to be curved out like that, not to mention that pool was on the ceiling with the water falling up.
Elf blinked Yugi's body's eyes and peered around what he could only assume was Bakura's room. The collection of weapons, money, jewellery and assorted stolen odds and ends, some stained with a suspicious rusty substance, laying on most available surfaces, surrounded by trash, dirty dishes and unwashed clothes were a dead give away. That and the 'DEATH TO PHARAOH' graffiti on the walls.
Elf shook his head and ran a hand through his slightly knotted and blood encrusted hair. He noted with disgust that he was still wearing the clothes when he beat the shit out of Yami, a tentative touch to his face confirmed that Bakura hadn't even bothered to clean of his face.
"Stingy bastard."
Elf rolled his shoulders and got out of the…nest of blankets and left the den in favour of finding the bathroom and having a long hot show. A quick detour into Ryou's room for a pair for jeans told him it was 11:32AM on Saturday, nearly five days since he'd blacked-out.
The yami entered Ryou's clean sparkling white bathroom and started stripping, shedding flakes of dried blood on the floor, and leaving reddish-brown smears on the slightly damp walls where he leant against them. He dumped the Puzzle into the basin to soak as he stepped into the steaming hot water.
He must have been in there for at least an hour when, unknown to him, the bathroom door opened and Ryou walked in to share the shower, thinking it was just Bakura, who didn't really care if he had to share.
Elf was running a comb through his newly conditioned hair when there was a sound behind him that sounded somewhere between a gasp and a squeak. He turned around.
It would also happen to be at that time that Yugi woke up.
/ 'Morning Elf. What's u-/
Yugi's voice cut off when he looked through Elf's eyes and saw a shock, mortally embarrassed and only half-dressed Ryou.
There was silence except for the sound running water, in which time Ryou's eyes widened another fraction of a foot, Yugi started cursing long and loud in Elf's head, and Elfy-Boy was struggling to keep his eyes on Ryou's face. When Ryou spoke, it was a breathless, disbelieving squeak.
"Yugi!"
A trickle of blood ran from Ryou's nose a moment before he whirled and tried to run out the door.
Key word 'tried'. Bakura came through the door as Ryou was going out.
The poor, scandalised light's head hit the wall with a loud 'crack'.
Bakura looked at Elf, still trying to understand what had happened. The saner yami shrugged.
"Oops?"
