So now we have the afterwards of Kaiba and Ryo's actions that weekend. I hope you all enjoy it!


The next day, Kaiba handed something to the teacher and Ryo's eyes followed the line of his figure, and when he turned back towards the class, she looked away. But when he passed her, she saw he looked up and down her body as well. She caught his eye and they both looked away. This happened throughout class time.

At lunch, Jonouchi came up to her and demanded, "What the hell is this?!"

Ryo blinked. "What do you mean, Jonouchi-kun?"

"Everyone in class watched you two! You're checking each other out!"

"Are you gay, Bakura?" Honda added, a smirk on his face.

"Kaiba-kun looks better today," Yugi observed. "I haven't seen him look so rested since I first met him. I wonder if he's been sleeping better lately."

Ryo shook her head. "I'm not gay, Honda-kun. What makes you think that?"

Anzu placed a hand on Ryo's forehead. "There's no fever, so you can't be sick. Bakura, you and Kaiba have been looking at each other during class all morning. What happened this weekend? I thought he was bullying you ruthlessly."

Ryo shrugged. "Maybe—"

"Bakura!" Kaiba called.

"Speak of the devil," Jonouchi grumbled.

"Yes, Kaiba-san?" Ryo answered.

"Come here, I have something to say to you," the tall brunette instructed with a beckoning wave.

She came over and he murmured, "We both agree that Saturday night won't be repeated."

She nodded in agreement.

"Well, instead of that, I need you to test my new dueling system."

"Right…"

"Also…" he trailed off. "Do you like Italian?"

"I haven't had it before."

"We'll order it in."

"This almost sounds like a da—"

"Bakura, why are you whispering with Kaiba?!" Jonouchi yelled. "Would you quit?! You sound like you're plotting something!"

"Mind your own business, loser," Kaiba sneered.

"You'd better not be using quieter means to bully our friend!" Anzu joined in. She marched over, took Ryo by the arm and began to pull the white-haired girl away. "Come on, Kaiba's no good."

Kaiba stood and took Ryo's other arm. "Don't interrupt, Mazaki."

"We're Bakura's friends! All you've done is bully him! Why should deserve even one second of his time?! Unless you shape up, none of us will let you near him again!"

With that, she led Ryo away.


Overprotective friends and an interested bully/"lover"? Boy, that escalated quickly. We can only hope nobody gets stabbed with a trident in the near future!

*crickets chirping*

Okay, my sense of humor definitely sucks. *snickers at self*
