Chapter 3
Bakura woke up in a strange room. Well he thought it was a room anyway. The room hadn't any walls or floor and ceilings. It was a purplish and black space that seemed to go on forever. How had he gotten here? Where was here anyway? Just then he heard a familiar voice.
"B-bakura"A Small scared voice said.
He panicked looking around trying to find a way out. Ryou sounded scared and alone. He had to get out of this strange room. Not just for his son but because this room or wherever this was, was strangely familiar. Flashes of strange images flashed through his mind. A scared child's cry...a older mans angered rage. What did this mean?
"Bakura? Where are you?"Ryou called again.
He seemed more afraid that Bakura disappeared because he evidently didn't know where he was. Bakura concentrated hard trying to project himself back into Ryou's room. Just when he was sure he would never be able to escape the horrid room, he blinked and came face to face with Ryou's bedroom door. Slowly he pushed it open to reveal Ryou sitting on his bed staring at the ring as if it could have floated in the air or preformed some other amazing feat.
"Ahem."Bakura said.
Ryou's face lit up somewhat when he saw Bakura. He ran over to him and hugged the teen. Shocked at Ryou's sudden change of heart, he hugged back. Ryou pulled away and smiled awkwardly.
"I-I got scared when you disappeared and i thought you abandon me...Bakura-sama."Ryou said.
"There's no need for formalities son."Bakura kneeled down to the nine year old eye level "So will you except that i'm your dad now?".
Ryou looked uncertainly at him. He shook his head slightly. Bakura sighed. They would get there. It's wasn't as if Ryou's real dad actually cared. After all he had left his nine year old at home alone when he went on a trip to America. At least Ryou would acknowledge that Bakura was his legal guardian for now. Bakura stood up and patted his charge on the head and headed downstairs to make breakfast. Ryou came downstairs wearing his school uniform a few minutes latter. Bakura sat the plate of assorted rice balls and fruit on the table in front of him. As Ryou ate, Bakura tried to read the child's feelings through the mind link. Ryou was nervous but not just because of his new guardian. Something was making him nervous and it stemmed from school. Apparently Ryou could sense Bakura reading his mind because he abruptly cut off the mind link. Once Ryou had left for school, Bakura waited ten minutes then immediately began to try and read the boys mind. He abruptly found himself in a vision and he realized he was seeing things through Ryou's eyes. Domino middle school stood tall in front of him. As the school grew nearer, Ryou's stress level went up. Just as Bakura began to wonder why Ryou was so stressed, a duo of two boys came along. Flashes of memories came from the boy. Bakura concluded that the boys were the school bullies Tristan Taylor and Joey wheeler.
"Hey Bakura!"Joey snapped at Ryou "What are you looking at?".
"N-Nothing!"The boy stuttered.
"Talking back are we?"Tristan questioned.
Ryou shook his head quickly trying to get past. Tristan knocked him back. Ryou blocked his strike with his arm. The other child looked stunned. A collective gasp went up from the children around the trio.
"Why are you afraid?"Bakura thought to him.
"Bakura-sama please help me!"He thought.
Then without warning, Joey swung out at Ryou an hit him hard knocking him down. The collective people gasped. Tristan laughed and kicked Ryou hard. Joey joined in.
"Had enough ya girl?!"Joey smirked.
Bakura felt him holding back tears. He felt his sons pain. Anger flowed through Bakura. How dare they hurt him. He would show them! All of a sudden he found himself in Ryou's position. Wait. He looked down at his hands. They were not his own. They were Ryou's. Tristan and Joey looked confused. The weird kid had just gotten weirder. His hair had blown up to form two spikes in the front and his eyes had turned blood red. Bakura looked up and scowled at the bullies. He snarled before slowly getting to his feet, er Ryou's feet. He stepped toward the tormentors and swung hard at him knocking him down. Both boys were caught off guard. Joey snapped out of it first. He swung but Bakura ducked down and kicked him in his stomach. Joey fell and Bakura kicked him as he had kicked Ryou. Tristan attacked him from behind. Bakura grabbed his swinging arm and a deathly silence fell over the crowd.
"Stay away from Ryou."Bakura growled momentarily forgetting that he seemed to be possessing Ryou's body.
Tristan nodded scared. Bakura threw him down and found he was back in the apartment. Ryou blinked confused. What had happened? Everyone was staring at him in shock. Who beat Joey and Tristan up? What was going on?
"W-Why are you staring at ,m-me?"He asked timidly.
"Your kidding."A random kid said "Ryou. You beat up the school bullies.".
"No i didn't."Ryou said.
They obviously didn't believe him. Why? He had just blacked out for a moment. The two beaten boys were coming back now so Ryou ran into the school and to the bathroom. He stared at himself in the mirror. To his great shock, Bakura's image stared back at him in regret.
"What did you do!"He whispered.
"I'm not sure how but i possessed your body for a minute. I took care of your problem."He said.
"You what?!"Ryou said scared "you can do that? You beat up Joey and Tristan and made it even worse because there going to beat me up twice as hard for retaliating!".
Bakura looked saddened that he had fractured his trust with the boy and he sighed. Ryou was shaking with fear.
"Don't be scared."Bakura tried to comfort him "Those who beat you up are the darkness and you are...you are the light. Your the Hikari.".
Ryou looked up his eyes shimmering with unshed tears.
"Really?"He asked quietly.
"Hai. Hikari...light...you are strong and light always prevails over dark."Bakura said.
"But aren't you dark?"He asked.
"Yes. I am yami."Bakura said "I am the dark you. How would you say that in your language?".
"Yami Bakura."Ryou said forgetting his worry for an instant.
"Then i am Yami Bakura."Bakura chuckled.
Ryou laughed at Bakura's efforts of being cheery. The pa system clicked on startling the two.
"Would Ryou Bakura please report to principal kocho's office."The secretary said.
Ryou gulped turning back to the mirror. Bakura stared at him in apology.
"I can face the punishment for my actions."He said.
Ryou shook his head.
"It's my body you used to beat them up so i should take the rap."He said.
"Be careful."Bakura said then fainted away.
Line break-
"What do you have to say for yourself Mr. Bakura."Principal kocho said.
"I-I'm just tired of being harassed for being different."Ryou said honestly.
He didn't like lieing to the principal or anyone but he couldn't tell the truth. What would that be like? Hey principal kocho! It wasn't me it was a mysterious ghost who possessed me for a minute. He didn't like the sound of that for he knew he would be in the crazy house if he spoke a word.
"Even so you should have told a teacher or someone that would help. Now you must face the consequences."She said.
"Yes miss. Kocho."He said.
"I'll call your father to pick you up. You have a rest of the day suspension."She said reaching for the phone.
"My father is in America."Ryou said quietly.
"Then you'll serve in school suspension."She said "Report to the detention room immediately.".
He nodded and walked away.
Line break-
Ryou sat in the empty detention room alone. He had put his head down on his desk and closed his eyes. This was going to be a long day. All of a sudden a voice spoke.
"I'm sorry Hikari."It said.
Ryou's head shot off the desk. He looked around and to his great surprise saw Bakura sitting in a desk a few chairs away.
"H-how?"He stuttered.
Bakura shook his head and shrugged.
"I just focused on projecting my image into the real world."He said "Like i do at home.".
Ryou nodded and lay his head back on the desk.
"How about we play a game?"Bakura said.
"What kind of game?"He asked.
Bakura waved his hand over a table and a holographic checkers board appeared. Ryou went and sat across from him. The two engaged in a game until the bell rang.
"Let's go!"Bakura got up.
"It's just lunch."The child said "I'll be back in a few minutes.".
He left the room and bounded down the hall rounding the corner and running strait into principal Kocho.
"Sorry miss. Kocho i was just heading to get lunch-"He was cut off by her.
"Ryo gakusei!"She said "I was just coming to look for you. I called your father and he is returning to Domino in two days to see about your...behavior.".
Ryou stared at her in shock. He couldn't have heard right. This had to be a joke.
"onsha?"He asked.
"Your fathers coming back.".
End.
Happy easter everyone.
