Chapter two
The rising sun shinned through the curtains into Ryou's room as the young boy stretched and yawned. He looked around looking for the mysterious figure from the night before. Unfortunately, he was alone. He then realized he was wearing the strange ring his father had left. It hung around his neck on a brown cord. The white haired boy shook his head and lept out of bed. He headed across the hall and down the stairs to the kitchen. A strange scent came from the kitchen as he approached it.
"Good morning Ryou!" a familiar voice spoke to the nine year old in his head.
"Who are you?"Ryou said.
"You don't have to talk out loud. It would appear we can communicate telepathy."The voice said.
Ryou was scared. This wasn't normal in any situation at all. What was happening?
"Don't panic! I won't talk to you over "mind link" if it scares you Ryou."The voice said.
Ryou shook. He had to get to school. The scent coming from the kitchen was stronger now. It smelled like waffles and eggs. Ryou slowly approached the room. Someone was in his house and he wasn't sure who.
"Hey Ryou!"A white haired teen around eighteen said.
He had two spikes of white hair on his head representing devil horns and he had red eyes.
"Who are you?"Ryou said quietly.
"Don't you remember?"The teen said his eyes turning confused "Last night.".
"T-That wasn't a dream?"Ryou thought.
"No."The teens voice echoed in his head.
"You were the shadowy figure last night."Ryou said frightened.
"Yeah. You probably didn't recognize me not being a shadow and all. You should eat breakfast and get ready for school."He said.
"W-what's your name? Why are you here? Please don't hurt me."Ryou said.
"Name's Bakura. Not sure how i got here though."He laughed at Ryou's uncomfortableness "Something that has to do with the millennium ring...i can't quiet recall though.".
As he said said the last sentence, his eyes narrowed in a deadly glare. Ryou shivered as he poked the waffle and stared at Bakura. Bakura noticed the clock on the wall.
"Oh Ra!"He said panicked "Hurry Ryou! School starts in twelve minutes!".
"How do you know when my school starts?"Ryou asked nervously"How do you even know what school i go to?".
"I read your mind."Bakura said uncomfortably.
He was beginning to feel very awkward about his decision to father the nine year old. Why? Something in the deep reuse's of his mind, something long forgotten, told him he should help Ryou. Ryou reminded him of someone he used to know...
"Um, Mr. Bakura sir?"Ryou tugged on his shirt and said "Your going to have to leave my house while i'm at school.".
Bakura chuckled evilly then paused looking down at the boy.
"I'm staying here Ryou."He chuckled again "I'm going to stay here. I'm going to watch over you now.".
Ryou shuttered and quickly dismissed himself to school. Bakura shook his head at the unfinished breakfast before cleaning up.
Line break-
Ryou hurried up the walk to the school doors as the second to last bell rang. He ran down the nearly empty hallway heading to his locker. In his rush, he nearly tripped and ran right into his locker. Getting up, he rubbed his arm and dialed the locker combination. He quickly stuffed his backpack in the small space and grabbed his books. Slamming the locker closed he ran down the hallway to class. Luckily for him, he made it just in time. The bell rang just as he sat down. He sighed in relief as the professor walked in.
"Good morning class!"She smiled sweetly.
"Good morning professor!"Her class answered.
Ryou was lost in thought about the strange teen who had decided to father him. Why? Where did he come from? Did his dad finally hire someone to watch him?
"Ryou-kun?"The professor asked.
"Huh? Sorry professor. I was just distracted."He apologized politely.
"You would do well to listen Ryou-kun."She said turning back to the now snickering class.
He nodded at her. The questions wouldn't be forgotten though. Soon he was distracted once again.
"Ryou-kun?"The professor seemed agitated at his behavior.
"I'm sorry professor."He said.
"Why don't you come to my office during lunch."She suggested and left it at that.
He nodded at this wondering what he would say. Great. He was in trouble. Unbeknownst to him, Bakura had just began to cause him trouble. Ryou waited for lunch.
Line break-
Bakura was sensing distress from something or someone. He couldn't tell were it was coming from and this angered him. He punched the sofa in frustration. Whoever was sending this unnecessary feeling was going to regret messing with him. His blood red eyes burned with frustration at this. He had been sensing distress sense that morning. Then a thought occurred to him. What if it was part of the "mind link" he had discovered? He had no idea what it was capable of yet and hadn't a full understanding of it. Why and how did the "mind link" even exist? Oh well. He wasn't going to let it frustrate him any further. Time to check on Ryou. Bakura willed the mind link to open and discovered something shocking to him. The distress was coming from Ryou! His son was in trouble! Maybe he shouldn't be to worried. After all it was only mental distress. Not physical. He debated with himself whether to read the boys mind or not. Finally he decided to see why his son was having mental anxiety's. Immediately a barrage of questions came at him. All from Ryou.
"Why is that strange teen in my house? What's his purpose for being there? Did dad said him? Is he a dangerous person? Who is he and why does he even care?"Ryou's thoughts echoed around Bakura's mind.
Bakura was shocked at the mistrust and distress he was causing his son. Well he had just randomly walked into his sons life yesterday... But still. He decided to respond to him.
"Ryou why are you frightened?"He asked.
Shocked silence greeted him at Ryou's end of the mind link.
"Ryou?"He asked "Ryou?".
"How are you talking to me?"He said.
"Mind link." He said.
"Stop talking to me! I don't know you?"Ryou thought back "Leave me alone.".
"I can't. I'm going to look out for you now."He said.
"I like it better when i'm alone."He thought.
"I'm not going to hurt you Ryou. So stop worrying.".Bakura said.
Ryou went silent and stopped talking to him for several minutes.
"Ryou."Bakura asked him.
"Leave me alone."He said.
Bakura listened to him and shut the link. He was going to have to gain the child's trust if he wonted to father him properly. Maybe Ryou didn't wont a dad. But Ryou's thoughts and memories said otherwise. Well why shouldn't the boy not trust him? He was a stranger. But surely he could be trusted. Bakura sighed. He hadn't a clue as to why he even wonted to bother with Ryou. Something similar had happened to someone he used to know from his past. Ryou was in the same situation as that person. Only i he could remember...
Line break-
Ryou sat across from the teacher and frowned at the ground.
"What's wrong Ryou-kun?"The teacher asked.
"My father left again. Then a teen showed up at my house and i don't think father sent him."Ryou said.
"Chances are he probably did and probably forgot to mention it."The teacher tried to help.
Ryou nodded.
"I'm sorry. I just overreacted."He said.
The teacher was probably right. Father was busy so it made sense that he would have forgotten. But that didn't stop him from feeling uneasy about the weird teen.
"Now you better head to lunch."The teacher smiled at him.
Ryou smiled back and ran out of the room.
Line break again-
Ryou opened the door to his house. He looked around for his new guardian.
"Hello?"He called quietly "Mr. Bakura sir?".
"Good afternoon Ryou!"Bakura said entering the room.
Ryou nodded a hello and hurried past him into the kitchen.
"What's wrong?"Bakura asked.
"Teacher said father sent you."Ryou said venturing "But i don't think so.".
"Your right. Your "Father" didn't send me. I don't even know him. But from the description you've given me i don't like him all that much.". Bakura once again looked angry and threatening.
Ryou shivered at his new guardians angry look. Bakura was scaring him. Bakura seemed to notice his charge was frightened to. So he looked down at him in sympathy.
"I-i should do my homework now."Ryou rushed past him and upstairs.
Bakura shook his head and Headed over to the kitchen. Ryou slammed his door shut and locked he door. He threw his book bag on the bed and opened his notebook. He sat down at his desk and garbed a pencil.
"Ten divided by ten eights equals?"Ryou thought.
"Do you need help Ryou?"Bakura asked.
"Get out of my head!"Ryou thought "Leave me alone.".
Bakura went silent. After a while Ryou was half way done with his math. A knock came at the door. Ryou froze creeping over to the window. A professional looking man stood at the door.
"I'll get it."Bakura spoke through the mind link.
Ryou saw the front door open and the man started confused. Ryou didn't understand. Bakura was there. Why couldn't the man see him? Wait. Was he the only one who could see Bakura? Did that mean...Bakura was a ghost? A chill went up Ryou's spine as he watched the scene play out. Bakura was trying to talk to the man but seemed just as confused as Ryou was. Finally the man gave up and walked away. Bakura closed the door. Ryou noticed something about Bakura before he closed the door. Bakura looked transparent. Ryou knew he was a ghost. He propped a chair against the door and curled up in a corner. Bakura stood in front of the mirror downstairs. He gasped upon not seeing his own reflection. He always had known that he was a spirit or ghost bit now he fully understood. He was dead. For hundreds maybe even thousands of years. His memory didn't serve well so he couldn't quite recall. Just then, a strange sense of fear overcame him. But he wasn't afraid. So that meant it was Ryou. He opened the mind link.
"Ryou what's wrong?"He asked.
"G-Go away Ghost!"He responded.
"Ryou i'm not going to hurt you. I'm here to watch you."He said.
Ryou blocked his side of the link. Bakura sighed. He would get Ryou to trust him. It was going to be easier to watch him when the boy accepted him as his father. But they would get there. He would just have to wait for Ryou to com down.
End.
Sorry if it sounds ooc. NOT yaoi. Ok. Enjoy. Chapter three coming soon. Read and review please.
