Chapter Two

by Katsuko and Eternal
SailorM

Bakura wasn't sure if being a guest in the Kaiba mansion was a good thing
or not. For the 'not good' side, it brought back a lot of bad memories,
too many of which he'd hoped were buried in the ancient past. On the
other hand, Seto was nothing if not a generous host, and not only to the
(still) Thief King.

"So basically the moral of the story is love sucks?!"

Bakura snickered; he wasn't sure what Jounouchi was talking about, but
the part of the conversation he could hear was amusing. Said teenager
was currently sprawled out on the sofa, cell phone to his ear and a book open
in front of him.

"Yuugi, dude, our teacher is on crack," the blond decided.
"Hmm? Well, yeah, it's not easy, but I think we've done okay."

The silver- haired man frowned slightly. Since he'd returned to Domino,
the only people he had seen or spoken to were Seto, Jounouchi (who scowled and
insisted on being called 'Katsuya'), and Mokuba. Although he desperately
wished to see the boy, Bakura had not ventured to contact Ryou. And he
wanted nothing to do with the Pharaoh's other half, no matter how content
Jounouchi seemed when talking to Mutou Yuugi.

Jounouchi's next words caught the thief's attention once more: "Can
you spend the night, then?"

Bakura froze, eyes not seeing the book he'd been pretending to read.
Dark memories rushed at him, pain and humiliation coupled with eyes that held
mock-pity and contempt, eyes far too similar to those he'd come close to
trusting before his time as Spirit of the Sennen Ring ended.

"-kura?" For a second, Bakura thought the voice that had
spoken was soft, female, and familial. His dear sister's voice, speaking
the name she alone could call him. Then the moment passed, the voice was
quiet but masculine as it spoke again. "Bakura? You all
right?"

"What?" He blinked at Jounouchi a moment before
replying. "Yeah, just thinking."

"Oh." The blond frowned a bit, and the thief wondered if he
was fooling the teen for even a second. "Yuugi and Ryou are gonna
come over this evening. We've got some stupid English... thing
that's due tomorrow, and I can't make sense of it. We'll probably just
stay in the den, if you wanna come say 'hi' to 'em or anything."

No, he did not want to see Mutou, not at all. But, if yadonushi
was going to be there too, maybe he could handle being around the shrimp for a
few minutes...

//It's not the Pharaoh, it's not Atem, it's not him...//

Bakura repeated it in his hand like a mantra, crouched at the top of the
steps as Jounouchi talked to the new arrivals in the foyer. So intent
was he in convincing himself of this truth that he completely missed Seto's
arrival at his side. It was only when the other spoke that he noticed.

"Bakura?" Seto asked softly, frowning slightly when the Egyptian
jumped. Rather than dwell on it, though, he continued, "Are you
okay?"

"Yeah, fine, I'm okay," Bakura replied, forcing a smile that didn't
quite reach his eyes. "Why do you ask?"

"You look like you're about to jump out of your skin."

The taller man stood up and stretched, eyes not meeting Seto's as he replied,
"I said I'm fine, Seto. Now drop it before-"

"Bakura?"

The Egyptian's mouth snapped shut as both he and Seto glanced back down the
stairs. Apparently Ryou had heard and recognized his darker half's voice
as he was halfway between them and the main landing. Jounouchi and Yuugi
were still on the first floor, a tiny frown on the blond's lips.

"It's really you, isn't it?" the pale-haired teen asked quietly, his
eyes and face revealing nothing to the darker thief. Before Bakura had time to
do much more than give a slight nod, Ryou rushed up the last few steps between
them, arms wrapping tightly around the Egyptian's waist and face buried
against his neck. Only now was Bakura aware of the tears that been
(barely) held back by his yadonushi.

"I was so worried about you," Ryou sobbed. "I wanted you
to be okay wherever you were, but I was afraid they'd send you to hell or
something because of what Zork did."

"Shh, don't cry," Bakura murmured, his arms coming up to hold his
lighter half. "I'm all right. Hell was afraid I'd take over
so they kicked me out." He smiled softly at the giggle he drew from
Ryou.

"I'd hoped you would come back," the teen admitted. "It
wouldn't be fair if Atem was allowed to come back and you couldn't."

The thief felt his blood run cold at the words, a haze of panic settling over
him. It was all he could do to keep it internalized. "Life's
not fair at times, yadonushi," was all he could bring himself to
say. He opened his eyes to see that Jounouchi's expression had closed
off entirely; as Yuugi turned towards the blond, however, his usual cheery
grin returned.

//A mask?// Bakura mused briefly before returning most of his attention
to Ryou.

"You two can catch up for a while," Seto said smoothly as he stepped
past them. "I'll supervise the children and make sure they actually
study."

"Fuck you, Seto."

"You're not my type, Katsuya."

"Who's supervising the children?" Yuugi grumbled, the words
belied by the amusement in his eyes. He turned and offered a gentle
smile to the Bakuras. "Take all the time you want. It's nice
to have you back, Bakura-san."

Amazingly, Bakura was almost positive he meant it.

Wow, so sorry for the delay! Thanks to Nameless One, for the nice review on
Fanfiction (dot) net; it inspired us to hurry up and finish this
chapter.

I'll go ahead and warn you now that it could be a while before the next
section comes out; Katsuko and I are both working on stories for a novella
challenge, as well as stories for the Endless Loop saga.
