�Where is it?� Ryou wondered frantically as he rifled through some papers that were piled on the living room coffee table. �Where is it?! Argh!� he growled, slamming down the handful of papers he had been holding. �Bakura!�
Receiving no answer, Ryou sighed, running a hand through his hair in agitation. �Bakura!� he screamed loudly, as he turned to stomp up the stairs. �Bakura, have you seen my report?� he asked as he entered his yami�s room, being careful to not trip over a pile of books that were near the door.
�Hmmm?� Bakura asked, not looking up from the book he was reading. �Your what?�
Ryou frowned, slowly picking his way across the cluttered room, stumbling slightly before he finally plopped down beside Bakura on a large pile of pillows in the corner. �My report on the Feudal Era? You know, the one I�ve been working on all week? The one that�s due tomorrow? Ring any bells?!� he asked, lightly smacking Bakura over the head as he was once again ignored. �What are you reading?�
�20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,� Bakura answered, finally tearing his eyes away from the thick novel. �Why? And your report is probably in your textbook.�
Ryou pouted, crossing his arms. �I looked there already,� he grumbled before turning to his yami with a pleading look. �Help me look?� he asked sweetly, eyes wide and innocent.
�Hmmm?� Unfortunately, cute puppy eyes didn�t work if your victim wasn�t looking at you. Bakura had, as Ryou should have predicted, already returned to his book and was once again lost in the underwater world of Captain Nemo. Ryou glared briefly at the book before sighing and turning away, studying Bakura�s room in the faint amazement he always felt when he saw it.
Who would have thought that an Ancient Egyptian Thief would turn out to be such an avid reader? Piles upon piles of books were arranged haphazardly across the room; on selves, on the desk, across the floor, and even on the twin-sized bed. The only areas devoid of books was a narrow path (that seemed to get narrower every time Ryou came in here) from the door and a small section of the corner where they were currently sitting, where instead of books, dozens of cushions and pillows were piled. Bakura�s �bed.�

�If he gets any more books, we�ll have to move so he has a place to put them all,� he thought in amusement. �I wonder what the pharaoh would think if he knew of �Kura�s little obsession.� He laughed quietly as his gaze landed on the title of a nearby book. Taiko.
Suddenly reminded of his reason for being in his yami�s room, he turned back to Bakura. �Why are you reading that again when you could be helping me find my homework?� he asked, yanking the book from his yami�s grasp.
�Hey!� Bakura glared at him. �I like it. Now give it back!� he growled, reaching for his book.
Ryou smirked, standing and moving out of Bakura�s reach. �Not until we find my report,� he said, turning and running - well, walking as fast as he could without tripping - out of the room. �So hurry up, my little tomb robbing bookworm.�
Bakura scowled and stood up to follow him. �Just because he can�t keep track of his things is no reason for him to steal my book,� he muttered as he made his way out of his room, faster than Ryou had been able to since he was used to the mess. �I�m supposed to be the thief in this house. He�s not supposed to...� he trailed off and blinked as he realized something. �Book... worm?�
___________________________
After Ryou explained what a bookworm was - and no matter how much Bakura hated being referred to as a worm, he couldn�t really disagree - he and Bakura went through the entire house, room by room, looking for Ryou�s report. Bakura would send occasional longing glances towards the book that Ryou still held tightly in his grasp. Ryou knew that if he even just slightly loosened his grip, Bakura would grab it and abandon the search.
�Found it! Now give me my book back!� Bakura said, practically bouncing over to where Ryou had been looking through some magazines by the phone.
Mildly amused at Bakura�s eagerness, Ryou smiled and handed over the prized book before taking the ten pieces of paper his yami held out to him. �Where did you find it?�
�Hmmm?� Bakura asked, looking through the book as he tried to find his place. �Oh, in the encyclopedia on the kitchen counter. I thought the report was on the Feudal Era.�
Ryou blinked, looking at the title on the report. Feudal Era. �It is. Why would you think differently?�
Bakura smiled, having found where he had left off. �Oh, it was marking the page on Egypt. You must have used it as a bookmark. That wasn�t a smart thing to do you know,� he said, moving to the living room couch and curling up with his book.
Ryou frowned. �I wasn�t reading anything on Egypt,� he thought before shaking his head, dismissing the thought, as he turned and headed up to his room. He had to put his report away before he lost it again.

Bakura sighed and sadly lowered his book; for some reason he was unable to concentrate even though he had reached his favorite part. He just kept thinking back to that encyclopedia article he saw when he had found Ryou�s paper. There was just something about it...
Bakura shook his head, forcing himself to forget about it and return to his book, glancing quickly towards the kitchen where the encyclopedia still sat. What was so interesting about Djeheuty anyways?

TBC...

A/N2: I hope you like this chapter. It seems to be a little slow and nothing really happens but I�m trying to build up to bigger things.

No, I�m not going to explain Djeheuty just yet. You�ll have to wait and see.
