"So tell me again why we have to walk in this Ra forsaken forest?" Marik wined as he grabbed a tree branch to pull himself up the slightly steep hill.
"For the hundredth time, The. Car. Is. Out. Of. Gas." Bakura barked almost tripping over a root sticking out of the ground. He regain his balance and continued his climb.
After the whole accident of the car and monster sheep, the gang made their way through the thick forest maze to find it's exit. Who ever the shepherd of those sheep were Ryou left a note on their car's front window telling the owner they are sorry and will pay whatever they did wrong.
"Marik can you carry me?" Malik plead for the last hour.
"Why should I?" Marik replied grumping about the forsaken forest.
The tan hikari crossed his arms over his chest with his lower lip sticking out, "Cause I am tired and my ipod died on me." To show he wasn't lying he held it up pushing the play button. It didn't light up like usually.
Marik sighed and crouched down, "Well," He yelled. "Don't just stand there, get on!"
Malik grinned and hopped on his yami's back. Being immature Malik started waving his arms around in circles above his yami's head, saying he is the king of the world.
Ryou tried to hold back a laugh while Bakura shook his head at the childlike Malik. The thief looked over to his hikari. There was no tiredness on him.
"Bakura?"
Bakura snapped out of his trance and notice Ryou staring at him with worried eyes. Bakura shook his head, "I'm ok, come on lets go." He motioned the young hikari to follow him. Ryou nodded and ran right be hide him with Marik and a so happy Malik. He acts so differently without his music.
After like ten minutes Malik started singing, cause of the lost of his music. Bakura was plotting to trap him in the next cave he sees and act like he was innocent. Marik shot glares at the back of the white hair yami, he could hear all the things he was plotting. It's not hard when Bakura is saying them little above a whisper. Ryou on the other hand was humming the song his friend was singing. How Malik knew so many Evanescence songs is a good question but more of how he could sing them so perfectly.
"Oh My Ra would you shut up already!" Bakura yelled shooting glares at the tan hikari. "I would like some peace and quiet thank you very much!"
Malik stuck out his tongue at the yami and continued singing but louder, "Don't cry to me, if you'd loved me. You would've of been here with me. You want me. Come find me. Make up your Mind!" Malik held the last note to a point where Bakura was going to strangle him for hurting his ear drums.
Marik placed his hand on the thief's shoulder, "Let him be Bakura. He's just having fun."
"Yeah he is but I'm in torture." Bakura spat out.
Ryou giggled, "Come on `Kura. I like it." He pointed out. "And we might be here for awhile."
Bakura groaned holding his head down, "I'm doom."
When an hour passed Malik stopped singing all of the sudden, to Bakura's liking, and pointed to the right of him, "Hey look a gas station."
Marik, Ryou, and Bakura followed his glaze to see the building the tan hikari mentioned. "Well finally!" Bakura started and walked toward that direction with Marik and Ryou following. The pale hikari was behind the two yami's sighing that they finally stopped fighting. Then something cold brushed off his shoulder. It set shivers down his spine causing him to hug himself. Ryou turned his head to both sides of him looking for the source. There was no wind and the trees were still. Nothing could have done that.
"Ryou hurry up!" The white hair hikari jumped. He turned his glaze to his friend that was waving for him to come. Ryou sighed before rushing other to catch up with them. When he was walking beside Marik, Malik leaned other to get at least face to face to Ryou, "Hey, why were you back there? Did you see something interesting?"
Ryou shook his head and looked other to his yami. Bakura was ahead of them impatient to reach the building marked gas. If I know Bakura, he just wants an excuse to not hear Malik's singing again. Ryou laughed at his own thought and continued his walk while talking to Malik about music and what the cabin, they're staying at is like?
What was really weird was that there was five teens heading in that direction.
When they bought a couple gallons of gas in hand held containers and headed back to the car Ryou couldn't help but feel like someone was watching them. Ever since they entered the forest it felt like eyes were all on them. The feeling didn't left his body all morning.
"Ryou what's wrong you look pale?" Ryou shot up to meet Bakura's concern eyes staring back at him. Was it that obvious for him to know something was troubling him?
"I'm fine Bakura," Ryou answered looking away from his yami's eyes. "Just little tried that's all."
"But you kept looking over your shoulder like someone is following us or something." Marik stated.
Malik jumped off his yami's shoulders and strolled over to his white haired friend. He pressed his hand on Ryou's forehead, "Well, he doesn't have a fever. We can check that off the list."
Ryou waved his hands in front of him, "I'm fine really. L-let's just hurry up and get back to our car." He walked pass Malik and then Marik. Bakura was next but he made the teen stop. "Bakura I'm ok."
Bakura sighed scooping Ryou up in his arms. The young hikari protested struggling in his yami's arms but Bakura had a strong grip on him. "Sorry Ryou but I'm not buying it. You tell us what's going on or we can just stand here all day looking at grass grow."
Ryou held his head down muttering something to quiet to hear. Malik and Marik stood on either side of him wondering what he said too. When the white hair hikari looked up seeing everyone staring at him he blushed and pulled his head back down.
"You know we really aren't moving till you speak up Ryou." Marik said. Malik nodded in agreement.
The pale hikari kept his head down but he did spook louder, "I…I think something if following us."
All three stared at him till Bakura and Marik started laughing while Malik looked in all directions, "I see no one Ryou." He said over the two yami's laugher. Ryou pushed off his yami's arms so he was now standing in front of Malik, his head didn't lift up. "Ryou?"
Ryou shook his head and walked pass the three teens toward the way to the car. Marik and Bakura's laugher decreased when they notice the hikari walking way. Malik shot glares at them before he ran after him calling Ryou to wait up. The yami's shared a glance then made their way toward the hikari's that were far in front of them.
The walk was quiet, maybe a little to quiet. The yami's didn't talk or whispered any evil plots about setting the pharaoh's hair on fire or stealing his deck and sell it on e-bay for a cent. All they did was watch their hikari's, who were ten paces in front of them, pointing at random objects like birds, lizards, snails, or anything that moved or was colorful. They didn't really said much but did little small talks here and there.
"Hey Ryou what do you call this one?" Malik pointed at a tree with a some lizard on it before the little thing saw them and scurried away.
Ryou saw it before it disappeared behind the tree then said, "A day time gecko, I think."
Malik stared at the tree for another second then started walking again. "So do you really think something is watching us?"
Ryou sighed, he looked up at his friend with doubtful eyes, "I'm not sure." He looked away. "I think there is but I must not be thinking straight or something."
It was Malik's turn to sigh, "maybe you are and maybe you aren't." He shrugged. "Who knows? Bakura and Marik might not believe you but I do Ryou. You can count on that."
The white haired teen smiled, "Thank you Malik."
The tan teen rapped his arm around Ryou's shoulder grinning, "Hey that's what buddies do. If we didn't met we would've died from not knowing how to control each others yami's." This made Ryou laugh while Malik joined him.
Marik stared at the laughing hikari's with a raised brow. He turned to his fellow yami, "Bakura, got any idea of what their saying?" He asked.
Bakura turned to him and shrugged, "Nop, but I don't really care," He turned his gaze back to his hikari. "I'm just more concern about what he said before."
"You mean the following us thing?" Marik questioned.
The thief nodded, "Yeah it's really bothering me."
"How so?"
"It's like part of me believes him while the other half thinks he's tired and didn't get enough sleep last night."
Marik understand and nodded. "Which one do you think is right then?"
Bakura looked down at the earth he was kicking up with his walking, "I don't really know. What would you do if Malik said he thought something was following us."
The tomb keeper shrugged before answering, "You want the truth?" Bakura nodded. "I would laugh at first but afterwards start believing in him if I feel it to. It's like if I start seeing or hearing whatever he has been experiencing it would change my mind."
Bakura held his gaze down and away from Marik. He wanted to believe but it's hard if he didn't know exactly what Ryou is seeing.
When they arrived to the sliver Suzuki the first thing they all notice was that the flock of sheep were gone. Nothing seemed different but the note on the window wasn't there. The car wasn't touched one bit though. If the owner came back for his sheep he probably didn't care they were there.
Bakura took out his keys and unlocked the drivers side door. When he got in he hit the button that unlocked all the other doors. Malik and Ryou jumped in while Marik was filling the gas tank with the containers they brought. When he finished he jumped in the back with Malik. Bakura started the car, with a grin on his face cause it started, then he drove off.
Not long did it take for them to find a road without the tomb keepers help that Bakura notice that they were heading the right way. Ryou seemed to notice too since he was staring out the window with a smiled spread across his face.
"Ryou when we reach there why not show Malik his room kay." Bakura said without taking his eyes off the road. "Me and Marik are going to get the bags and set up lunch since we didn't eat till yesterday morning."
Ryou glanced at him and nodded, "Ok."
Over hearing what they were saying Malik poked his head over Ryou's seat grinning, "That sounds like fun. Does my window have a view?"
"You'll see Malik." Bakura replied.
"What about me?" Marik pointed to himself with his lower lip sticking out.
Ryou giggled and looked over that the teen, "You'll get a room too Marik. I think both of you will like it there. It's a big place with lots of room to play and we even have our own flock of sheep."
"That you might mistake for monsters." Bakura teased. Ryou pouted at his yami. "Oh come on, you know I'm joking."
Ryou expression changed to a cheerful little hikari, "I know but I'm so excited to get there!"
"Me too, and this time we have the psychos with us."
"Hey!" Both Egyptians yelled together at the white hair yami. This caused Ryou to laugh while Bakura groaned knowing they won't shut up now about what he said.
