dragonaldy222-Um... wow. Sorry. I don't know where to start with this. Yeah, Malik's upset. He might be supportive. Yugi is a good friend. Ryou's mood is at an amusment park headed for the biggest a rollercoaster with the most hills and loops. Please keep reading :)
Pharaoh Feliecia-Unfortanatly, a roket wont go to Alaska, let alone with and adorble and a small kid strapped to it. A rocket would be much morer usefull
DeathsIllusion-Thanks for finally updating your story. So you like angst huh?
ketaglass-What happened to not reviewing? Well. It's still up for debate wether or not Malik is good or not in your book. I leave anything that might happen later on in the story for later on. It's only the first half that I actually plan out. I haven't decided yet wether or not he comes back.
journey maker-Malik is the babies real (biological) father. Marik's just the one who had the sex. Is that confusing? Sorry.
Chapter 4
Crap. Not good. Not good.
"Ryou come out already!"
"NO!"
Something… anything to get him out "What about school?"
"I'm not going!" He practically screams at me. I'm tempted to do two things: Kick the door down, and murder Malik. At the same time I couldn't figure out how Ryou had learned to lock me out of my soul room and the ring. Did he really want to be alone that badly?
"Ryou this isn't funny! Look, you don't plan to live in there do you? How are you going to eat? How about this, I'll pretend I'm your brother or something who's staying with you for a little while and go to school with you?"
"Thank you but I'm staying here" he mutters. I could just barely hear it. Aw crap, this means I'll have to take his classes for him now doesn't it?
SC
Yugi's staring at me. I can see Yami behind him in spiritual form staring at me too. Funny thing is that usually I can see Yami better than Yugi can. I bet he can always see me too. They're probably both wondering why I'm here instead of Ryou. I'm wondering that too. I mean, sure, he's depressed, but I ought to be home minding my own business or making sure he actually eats and doesn't kill himself. Not taking classes for him.
Yugi finally approached me during lunch "Where's Ryou?"
"He's to busy locking himself in his room to come to school. I'm here for him"
"Locking himself in…" Yugi muttered
"Yeah. Malik pretty much acted the opposite of which a knocked up teenager would want their friend to act"
"He told Malik?" Yugi asked "Oh, that's good. I was worried he'd keep the father a secret until everyone in school knew about-"
"Are you deaf or dumb, Yugi? Malik told Ryou that whether or not he was the thing's father he refused to take any responsibility for it, including any concern about Ryou. Basically he said 'to bad but it's not my problem. Go find a new best friend'"
Yugi made a small 'oh' and went back to sit with his Anzu and Tristan. He didn't seem to be talking to them, though. Just eating. Ryou had made him promise not to tell anyone. I guess on fools like him and Yugi that's a rather effective method…
SC
Ryou still wouldn't let me enter the damn room. I've asked him nicely, I've tried to break in, Ra, I even tried using shadow magic. The kid must have his own type of magical power in order to hold me off like this. The idea of giving up on him seems pretty tempting…
At least he hasn't completely starved himself while I was gone. I left a cup of tea and some toast out for him before going to school so he could keep his stupid attendance record and I can see that he at least ate that while I was gone.
This time I left a bowl of soup and some milk out by his door, not right in front of it though, just next to it. I learned the hard way that it swings out when I finally got Ryou to come out one time while he was throwing a fit. I think I still have a bit of a bump on my head from that…
After this I went out to wander around town, maybe make Malik pay dearly if I happen to run into him. He must have known he was at the top of my hit list at the moment though because he was nowhere to be seen. Coward.
Once again, the small-easy to make-meal that I'd left out for Ryou had vanished. "You okay in there?"
I waited a while and was about to leave when he finally answered "…no…"
It was so quiet I almost didn't hear it, but a second later the door was unlocked and Ryou came out. You could tell he'd been crying all day (and probably some of the previous night) And you could tell he was holding back tears right then. Suddenly he broke down and fell into my chest sobbing. Well… he was out now… that was an improvement…
"I-it's okay, Ryou. Malik was… I mean… at least Yugi and Yami didn't abandon you" I pointed out "Yugi was really concerned when I went to school for you"
Ryou sniffled and hic-upped. Being able to sense his emotions I could tell that had brightened his poor little day quite a bit. Yay.
"Anything you want to eat? You'll probably have to cook it, I'm not very good, but…"
"Um… there's some leftovers in the fridge. I think I labeled the ones I was going to use today. Can you heat those up?" If that's what he wanted…
