Chapter 3

"Oh I wish it could be Christmas everydaaay…" Ryou sang to his favourite Christmas tunes whilst putting up the decorations. To say Ryou was in the festive spirit was an understatement, and he was going to enjoy every minute of it.

The door opened, and Bakura walked in looking thoroughly bad-tempered and walked past Ryou muttering about if someone bothered him one more time for money, he will send them to the Shadow Realm. Ryou gulped. The one thing that he didn't like about Bakura's return just over 3 years ago was that he, just like the other yamis, got to keep his shadow magic. Ryou sighed and resumed singing his Christmas songs and just added the finishing touches to the Living Room on the fireplace, which were the stockings. Perfect, Ryou thought smiling. He had done the tree no more than an hour ago, it was 8 feet tall and it was twinkling with red and gold baubles and tinsel, multi-coloured lights and to top it off, a large gold star on top of the tree staring down merrily at him. Ryou thought it was the most beautiful thing he ever set eyes on. Then he realised it had gone quiet, which Ryou thought was a bit odd, seeing as the CD disk had another 18 songs to go. Ryou went to the kitchen having a strong suspicion, which was proved him right, when he saw Bakura stood there looking straight at him, annoyed and in his hand was the plug. Ryou breathed a sigh of relief, at least it wasn't sent to the Shadow Realm, and he didn't know what he would of done if he did. When he looked back at Bakura, he saw that his face was contorted with fury.

"What have I told you about putting on this shit in my house?" Ryou frowned; it was technically his house, which his father pays rent for. Ryou wasn't about to correct Bakura on this as it would only end badly.

"Well?" Bakura's eyes narrowed.

"I don't know." Ryou said honestly, as he didn't know what Bakura said as he usually left Ryou alone when it came to music, even Christmas ones. But it seems that this year he was going to lose that. He saw Bakura's eyes narrow even more and Ryou flinched at the murderous look he was given. But Bakura didn't say anything, and Ryou was feeling a little uncomfortable in this silence,

"There's a party coming up at Yugi's house if you want to come? Marik will be there." Ryou hopefully asked. Bakura snorted.

"It's one of your Christmas parties isn't it?" Bakura sneered. Ryou nodded, but frowned.

"Do you want to come?" He asked again timidly.

"No." Bakura said and walked away.

"But-"

"NO!" Bakura interrupted without turning around, and he went upstairs where, Ryou supposed he would be for the rest of the day. Ryou sighed and wondered what he was going to do every year at Christmas with Bakura being like this.

T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T

Ryou wandered around the shopping centre in awe. Everybody was rushing around, getting their last minute presents, there were kids screaming and running all over the place. Ryou grinned; the security guards will have had their hands full today. He went into all sorts of different shops, and bought his friends' presents. This took him an hour to do. All he had left was to buy Bakura's present. He knew Bakura didn't care at all about Christmas, but every year Ryou always bought him a gift. Which Bakura, refused to open until after the Christmas holidays were long gone until the following year. Last year, he bought him a beautiful dagger, but this year; he wanted the present to be interesting. He looked in all types of shops, clothes, jewellery, but nothing seemed to fit for Bakura. Ryou frowned and his stomach rumbled. He'll have to get something to eat first and see if he can get an idea on what to get Bakura.

Once he was sat down, he looked around the centre. He saw families looking happy together and couples holding hands as they prepared to go back out in the snow. Ryou's heart ached. He wished he could share that with someone, but he knew the man he wanted to share his life with, didn't return the feelings. Although he didn't know this for sure, it's just that he never got any feelings from the one time he tried to look in Bakura's soul room once that he returned the feelings. He didn't even know whether Bakura was straight or not! He tried flirting, but Bakura just never got the message. Ryou sighed as he ate; after this, he had to try to find a present for Bakura. This was going to be a long day.

T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T

Ryou left the shopping centre 2 hours later, looking tired, but thoroughly pleased with himself. It was dark out and it was still snowing, although Ryou could hardly say he was surprised. The snow was nearly up to his knees now! After much struggling, he managed to get home. He looked up and noticed it was dark. Bakura must still be up in his room sulking, Ryou thought rolling his eyes. He fumbled around, trying to find the key, once he found it, he unlocked the door and went inside. He walked skilfully to the kitchen in the dark, put his shopping on the floor and turned on the lights in both, the kitchen and living room. It looked- empty for some reason. Ryou frowned, as he looked around trying to figure out what was missing, when he gasped with a mixture of fury and shock.

"BAKURA!" Ryou screamed up the stairs, after a moment silence, with Ryou's voice carrying through the house, he heard some movement from Bakura's room.

"What?" The cold voice of Bakura's reached down to Ryou.

"GET YOUR FUCKING ASS DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!" Ryou screamed back up to Bakura. He hardly ever cursed, but this time Bakura has gone too far!

After about 5 minutes, Bakura appeared looking grumpy, although there was a hint of smug amusement in the air. Ryou's eyes narrowed and he managed to look like Bakura for a moment.

"What the fuck have you done with my decorations and the Christmas tree I decorated earlier?" Bakura shrugged

"I don't know." Then he smirked, Ryou's eyes filled up with tears when realisation came to him.

"You sent them to the Shadow Realm! Don't bother lying Bakura, it's written all over your face!" Bakura shrugged as if he wasn't going to deny it anyway.

"The decorations were my mothers and the Star on top of the tree was the last thing my sister picked for the tree when we were little! I can't believe you took them! You are so selfish Bakura! They were all I had left and YOU TOOK THEM!" Ryou was turning hysterical now. Bakura rolled his eyes.

"Well you should have thought about that before you put them up. You know I hate this fucking holiday, yet you make this house the worst of the whole damn street and why should I have to put up with it?" Bakura's voice was so cold that Ryou just got up, with tears pouring down his face, pushed Bakura as hard as he could, although he didn't budge to his dismay, and slammed out of the front door, in the freezing cold.

T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T
