We both couldn't help it. We did a big wrong thing, but we did it alright. Later I heard Jou had a black-out, and didn't really remember what he did. Well, to be honest, I don't know either.

All I could remember was Jou attacked first, then I did. I kicked her twice ... or three times ... I forgot to count ... but in the end she was laying on the ground ... I also remember another teacher came inside ... Strange why I can remember only bad things.

I mean, I can't remember what I ate yesterday, though I know it was good, but I DO know I hit my teacher with a chair.

I'm really strange.

The chair was broken after my hit, by the way. And daddy could pay it. Stupid me, I wasn't planning to brake something for getting revenge on all those time my mean teacher hit us.

Well, after the fight, we talked. I, Jou, my daddy, Jou's daddy, the principal, Miss Tyono, and Bakura -but he was silent-.

You know, when Miss Tyono admitted she kicked us sometimes, my daddy immediately said I wouldn't go to this school anymore. Jou's daddy just nodded.. I hope he'll understand Jou wasn't wrong by fighting Miss Tyono.

Then my daddy almost dragged me outside, Bakura following us silently. I was still having a black-out. I guess more things happened in the principal's office ... I just can't remember everything anymore.

When we were home, daddy hugged me, and promised I wouldn't have to see my mean teacher ever again. I nodded, feeling still very dizzy, confused and weird as hell. Blackouts are NOT cool.

After that, I still don't remember what happened. Daddy made some phone-call with my school. Strange, cuz we were there a big moment ago. Well, it's not my problem, I hope.

Daddy called really long. I sat on the couch, Bakura next to me. I don't remember if Bakura or I said something. My blackout, that was why.

When daddy finished his call, he told me to go to my room. We would leave Japan next week, if I agreed with it. We were gonna leave this pretty house and the rest of Japan? Nope, I didn't react. My blackout again.

I hate blackouts. When you're acting normal again, all emotion come at the same time. And yes, when I was sitting on my bed, inside my little bedroom, I found myself cry and scream at the top of my lungs about how stupid I've acted at school.

o00o

“I'm proud of you. Just don't listen at your dad. You did great.” Bakura tried to calm me down while hugging me -Yes, the fuzzy feeling was back again-. I, on the other hand, was crying very hard. Of course I was crying! I just beat up an adult! And half of the school saw it!

“It's my entire fault!” I whispered between tears. I sobbed a bit harder, but remained silent as Bakura hugged me tighter.

# Don't you EVER say to someone else I'm going soft on you, buy I think you ROCK! I'm still cold-hearted, cruel and mean ... only not to you, my sweet Ryou. Now stop crying, because you did the right thing. She'll probably has to go to jail. You won't, since you aren't 18 yet. See, you're lucky! # He mentally stated at me. I nodded slowly, but remained crying. When I felt a nudge in my ribs, I saw Bakura was holding a handkerchief. I'm so lucky I have a good friend as Bakura!

“A-Arigatou, Bakura. But it was still my fault.” I dried my tears, while still sobbing a little bit. After all, who wouldn't be sad if you just beat up your teacher?!

# I would. I would be proud I finally did something about the fact I was having an abusive teacher. I wouldn't be sad that half of the school saw me beating the shit outta my abusive teacher, cuz after that she admitted she was the bad person. I wouldn't be sad too if daddy said I wouldn't have to see Miss Tyono again. I would be pretty happy. Now Jou and you are hero's for the rest of you class, and this time you did it without my help. Of course I was there to support you, but you were the one who attacked. So dry up your tears, cuz there's nothing to be unhappy of # Bakura mentally stated this huge speech to me, as I dried my tears with the handkerchief he just gave me.

“Thanks a lot, Bakura. I didn't know what to do without you.” I smiled at him in my sweetest way, but I couldn't help but sob some more. After all, Miss Tyono looked pretty beaten. Well of course, she WAS beaten!

“As I said before, and I will repeat until you understand the words, I'm proud of you. You did something most kids didn't dare to do. You'll be a hero for them. And going to another school after beat up your teacher is the perfect beginning of a new school-life! Kids will worship you. See, you didn't do anything wrong.” Bakura hugged me some more, while I remained sobbing. Strange, I feel always a lot happier when he was hugging me. Aw well, I guess that was the true power of friendship!

“Ryou, please dry your tears, and be happy for a change. Always crying makes other people sad too. Other people, like me. Come-on, my bestest almighty friend, smile for once!” Wow, Bakura was being nice again. Strange why he was only nice when I was feeling sad.

“Thanks, Bakura. You're my best friend, you know that?” I smiled while telling him this. I think he already knows, but that's not my point. I just wanted to tell him this another time, for letting him remember there was no other best friend. It was just he and me, together alone. Well, daddy was downstairs, but aside from that, we were alone.

“I know.” Bakura snorted some more, but this time the snort slowly changed into a mix between a purr and a snore. He was pretty sweet if he wanted to be. Lucky me he wanted to be sweet at this moment.

We sat there for quite some time, on my little bed, Bakura mixing his snores with purrs, also hugging me, while I rested my head somewhere on his chest/shoulder. I think I could get used to this. This could be one of those moments I would remember always. I don't know exactly, but the best moments of your life you'll remember always. This was a perfect moment, so why wouldn't I remember it when I would be -lets say- 15 years old?

After what seemed eternity -best moment of my life, not to mention I've only lived 6 years- I heard daddy call me from downstairs. I sighed a bit, while Bakura let me go. The fuzzy feeling disappeared together with Bakura's warm arms, but I didn't mind much at the moment. I was more wondering what daddy needs to tell me. Now hope he wouldn't be mad at me.

I felt Bakura slowly pull me to the door, this meant he grabbed my hands and dragged me towards to other side of my room, until I snapped out of my trance. I began to walk, but Bakura's hand never left mine. I was quite happy about that simple detail.

When I was downstairs, daddy was already waiting for me in the living-room. I gulped silently, but cuz Bakura kept dragging me, I almost immediately entered the living-room. Daddy looked up when he saw me, and I waved, feeling quite uneasily.

“Ryou, I would like to talk to you.” Daddy sweetly stated to me, while I nodded in agreement and sat down next to him on the couch. Bakura sat down on the ground, cuz he didn't want to let daddy notice he was real, and was still here with me.

“Son, I've talked to the principal. He said you wouldn't get a criminal record, even if you would change schools within a little time.” Daddy paused, while looking at my reaction. Well, to be honest, I don't know what to think. I hardly knew what the last word meant, and I also didn't know what daddy liked to see as a decent reaction. Should I go for the guilty-look, the I-didn't-do-it-look, or the happy-go-lucky-look????

“You know I only stayed here in Japan because of you, but seeing the problems at your school, I think it's better to start all over again.” Again he paused. This time I had the perfect reaction: A confused look. I mean, I didn't really understand my daddy, so this reaction was a good one, no doubt about it.

“Start all over again? Do you mean I have to go to the kindergarten again?” Hey, I could always ask.

“Not exactly, my son. You're very smart for your age, so I won't send you to kindergarten again.”

# Perhaps me means he wants to move outta Japan #

“Move out of Japan?!?!” I screamed, while looking in Bakura's way ... oops! Daddy heard that. Now hope I won't get into troubles!

“Only if you want to. I asked you earlier, but you were having a black-out, so I didn't think you completely heard me. But yeah, I was meaning to move out of Japan.”

Well, to be honest, I don't know. Woohoo, I think I feel another black-out coming up. Now stay focused Ryou. Breath in, breath out .... this isn't helping me!

“But the house?!” Well, I have to start somewhere asking!

# And what about your new reputation you're gonna have at school?! You are finally no wimp, then ya have to go to another fucking school! # Bakura joined me asking, but of course he didn't say it out loud.

“Son, I won't sell this house. If you're old enough, then you can have it. Though it's a big house, you'll be happy in it. But a new home would be better for you. And seeing what happened today, I won't easily change my mind. We'll be moving. You, to a very good school, named `Winchester'. As for me, I'll move back to Egypt, so I can dig up more graves. But only if you want to.” Daddy looked curious at me. Great, I don't wanna answer that question! If I answer wrong, I'll be unhappy for the rest of my entire life!

# Ryou, just do what you feel like doing. Don't take all advises from me, since this is one thing you have to do yourself # Bakura put a hand on my shoulder as comfort, which helped me greatly.

“Does that mean you can still be with me all the time, Tou-san?”

“If you stay here, you would get a nanny, and you would get to see me only once a year. If you go to Winchester, I'll visit more, since Winchester is closer than Japan, seen from Egypt.” Then my choice was made easily.

“I'll go to the Win-thing then, Tou-san.” I smiled slightly, hoping that I made the right choice.

# You did, since your happy with it, my bestest best friend! # Bakura hugged me from behind me, which caused me to let out a small giggle.

“That's my boy again! Then we'll leave as soon as possible, son. How about next week? Then I can get you at Winchester before the beginning of the third semester.” Father asked me, while I nodded, smiling already a little bit more. Now only hope this is the right choice after all!

“Should I go and pack my stuff, Tou-san?”

“Now already? Hahah, no, my son. But if you want, you can go to the attic, and put all your stuff you want to take from there on your room. Though we'll keep this house, as a memory to your mother and my wife and of course Amane, we won't return.” Father hugged me, nearly receiving a hit from Bakura, since he couldn't hug me anymore now. I feel so loved. Just kidding, by the way.

“I'll go to the attic now, Tou-san!” I said when my father let me go, and I immediately ran to the stairs. From behind me I could my daddy sigh in relief, and Bakura sigh in discomfort. He hated stairs, since he always gets tired from climbing them. LOL!

# Get not, baka!! Now get your stuff, so we can move to the Win-thing! # Bakura suddenly speeded forward to me, ran past me, and climbed the stairs in one breath. Wow, that's something I don't see everyday!

I smiled happily at myself, before beginning to climb the stairs. I think I've made the right choice!

o0-0-0o

I've made the wrong choice.

I sat on my empty bed, no plushies on it anymore. They were already packed. Together with all my pretty clothes, and my toys. Of course daddy couldn't let me take everything I wanted to take with me to `Winchester', so I had to let behind some stuff. And guess what daddy decided then?

Yes, you can guess that. Daddy thought my last Christmas-gifts may have had a bad influence upon me, seeing the fact I attacked Jou AND Miss Tyono within one week, so he decided to leave them here, except for my book. And that meant I found myself once again crying out loud, this time not because I thought I was bad, but because it thought my daddy was bad.

“Son, the taxi can't wait for-ever! Hurry, else we'll miss our plane!” I heard my daddy yell from downstairs, already angrier than a couple of minutes ago.

I held my deck a bit tighter, not making any motion to stand up and get ready for going to England. Since daddy already hid my Ring hours before leaving, I got another blackout, and almost demolished the entire living room. Gods, I'm such a bad boy sometimes, but this time I really thought daddy deserved it! He had NO, and I mean, NO right to take Bakura from me!

Of course, when I told him Bakura lived in the ring, and he wanted to go with me, daddy immediately hid the ring somewhere I couldn't possibly find him, and instructed me to get ready. Yeah right. Like I would get ready without Bakura getting ready too!

The worst thing of the whole situation was that Bakura was too far away from me to talk through our `link' as he calls it. Every time he gets too far away, or if the Ring isn't anywhere near me, he gets tired easier and is too weak to stay out of the Ring. And if he's at a really bad shape, he can't even communicate to me through our link, like now! I'm so worried about him!

“Ryou Bakura, get down here in an instant!” My daddy interrupted my thought, sounded even angrier this time, but I couldn't care a thing. I want Bakura now!

“NO!” I screamed back, snorting at my daddy in response. I couldn't care for bad things Bakura had taught me! He was there for me when I was in troubles, and that's enough for me to realise I can't live without my bestest best friend.

“RYOU! If you don't come down NOW, I'll DRAG you personally to the taxi!” My daddy treated me, but I didn't remove an inch. Treat what you want, I wouldn't do it! Bakura couldn't go to England, so neither would I!

When I heard my daddy run to my room with a great speed, I high-pitched screamed and clung myself to my bed, cards already being forgotten so they scattered all through my empty bedroom. At that very moment my daddy entered my bedroom, having an angry face, probably because I was being a bad boy. Well, I didn't care! I want my Bakura!

“Son, you can choose. You can walk for yourself to the taxi, and say goodbye to your friends, who came a few minutes ago to say goodbye, or I can personally DRAG you into the taxi, and I will say to your friends they have to leave without goodbyes. Well?” Daddy had his arms crossed, and was now tapping his fingers with a repeating rhythm against his arms, what was really annoying.

“Well?”

“Can I think about it for a while?” I prudently answered back, already knowing daddy would let me say goodbye to Jou, even if I WOULD be a bad boy. He's very predictable, once you know him and I know my daddy very well!

“That's it, Ryou Bakura!” He nearly screamed to me, before he lifted me up over his shoulder, before dragging me downstairs, leaving my cards behind in my bedroom. Of course I screamed in response, not wanting to leave my house. When my daddy reached the front door, he put me down -TOLD YOU!- and said I could say goodbye to Jou, unless I would misbehave myself again. Yeah right.

Instead of going outside, to Jou, I let myself fall on the floor, and began to cry very, very hard. Of course I was faking it a little bit, because I nearly wanted daddy to let me take the Ring with me.

“Son ... I ...” Daddy stuttered to me, while I cried harder and harder. Perhaps Jou wouldn't like me anymore, after he heard me cry this hard! Well, fuck him! I want my Bakura!

When my daddy walked toward the kitchen, I stopped crying, but I couldn't manage to stop the sobbing as well. Now what?! He better is getting Bakura!! Else I would have a word, or in my case, a cry, with him!

When my daddy returned, and I saw a handkerchief in his hands, I began to cry again. That wasn't the Ring! Or my bestest best friend!

“DADDY!!!! Where's my ring!!! I WANT MY RING!!! I WANT MY BAKURA!!” I screamed, slamming my fists on the floor, not caring if I would get bruises, because I WOULD get them, since I'm so weak. I felt my daddy tried to calm me down, but it had no effect. Of course not! I want my Bakura, not my daddy!

“BAKURA!!!”

“Son- .... I- ... SON?!” Daddy tried to gain my attention, but it was a waist of energy. I cried, screamed, and even cursed! I know I must have been such a bad boy that very moment, but I couldn't care a thing.

“FUCK OFF!!! I WANT MY BAKURA!!!!”

When I suddenly felt my daddy pick me up, I yelled in agony. He wasn't trying to put me in the taxi, was he?! If that was true, he wouldn't get a morning-kiss anymore!

“DADDY!!! Lemme go-oh! J-just for a minute!!” I sobbed, while I felt my throat getting sore. Hmmm, I think I screamed a little bit too much. I couched a bit, while trying to get out of my daddy's grasp. Unluckily, I couldn't. Not fair!

“Daddy!!!!” I whispered now, cuz I had practically no voice left. But my daddy ignored my whining, and reached now the front door. Oh yeah, I could already see Jou standing there. Not cool!

“Son, if you have calmed down, you can say goodbye to your friends. If not, we go straight to the Domino Airport. It's your choice.” Daddy told me, before letting me go. Off course he had already closed the front door, so I couldn't sneak back in again, to search for the Ring. Hmmm, I would find a way to find Bakura again anyway! I mean, why would I even choose the option on going to Winchester, WITHOUT Bakura?!

I dried my tears, without looking at my daddy, then walked to Jou. Suddenly I saw another boy coming into the view, and stood next to Jou, while waving to me. Both were giving thumps-ups to me, while smiling brightly.

“JOU! SETO!!” I cheered, Bakura a little bit forgotten, BUT NOT TOTALLY!!, while I run to my other two friends. I immediately forgot my sad mood, though I had YET to figure out a way I could convince Jou or Seto to search for the Ring, and then send it to me.

“RYOU!” Jou yelled back, while practically launching himself upon me. I smiled widely, while drying the rest of my tears, not trying to look sad, even though I still was that a little bit.

“Ryou! I heard you were moving to England today! Is that true?!” Seto asked me, looking at me with his big, innocent azure eyes. Gosh, he has such innocent eyes, just like mine!

“Yes. But I can't take my Ring with me.” I answered, while pointing at my house, hoping one of the two would suggest they could send it to me later.

“Ring? Ry, rings are NOT nifty! Chains, now THOSE are cool!” Jou said, nodding furiously, which meant he was agreeing his statement totally. I giggled softly, while Seto raised a brow.

“Chains? Well, that's something I never of before. But I'm sure my stepfather wouldn't allow that. Especially after I nearly lost Mokie at the tournament a few weekends ago.”

“Tournament? Hey, Ryou and I were there too!” Jou interrupted Seto's state, grinning proudly at Seto, “And Ryou even duelled Pegasus, and was at the winning hand, before a certain accident!” Jou patted my back, before whispering `tell Kaiba we fought about Mokuba and you're dead' in my ear. Luckily Seto didn't hear it, else I'd be in big troubles! I mean, how should I explain Jou that Seto thought I was the one who saved his little brother, and how would I explain Seto I fought for Mokie, and I didn't actually save him?! Hmmm, I guess I just keep my mouth shut.

“But guys ... my daddy is waiting for me to go to the airport, else we'll miss our plane.” I tried to change the subject, more because I didn't want to loose one of my two almost-bestest best friends.

“Oh yeah ... Ry, shall I write you?” Jou answered, all of a sudden magically holding a pencil and a notebook in front of my face. I blinked a few times with my eyes, before I grabbed the pencil and the notebook and wrote the address of Winchester in it. Don't say I'm a freak! I just happen to have remembered the address of the school after daddy had shown it to me last week! Daddy says I'm too smart for my age, but I think that's untrue. I mean, I STILL don't know how to chipper with numbers higher than 1000!

“Oh!!! Can I have your address too?” Seto asked me, hoping he would also get my address. Gods, if Bakura would have been here now, I would think that's cool!! Now I merely smiled at Seto, and wrote the address another time. Then I ripped the last written address out of the notebook and gave it to Seto.

“Here you go. Just write your address in the letter you'll send me, and I'll write you back.” I said, while checking if daddy was listening to what I was saying. He was currently talking to the taxi-driver some distance away. Feeew!

“Emmm, guys ... Can I ask something too?” I motioned Seto and Jou to come closer to me, while I whispered further. When I was done speaking, both nodded, perhaps a bit confused, but they agreed. Then Seto walked to my daddy, with Jou on tow. Now is my chance!

Emmm, I should explain this, right? Well, I only asked Jou and Seto to keep my daddy occupied, so I could try and at least say goodbye to Bakura.

I speeded to my house, but instead of trying to open the front door, I ran straight to the backdoor, and pushed the knob. Luckily this one was still opened. I ran inside, and ran straight upstairs.

Coming there, I looked out of the window, and I sweat dropped to what I saw. The original plan was that Seto would tell my daddy about how I duelled Pegasus or something along that line, not, and I repeat, NOT argue with Jou! Hmmm, I think one of the two just found out who the other really was.

“I was the one who should have gotten those cards! How come Ryou DID got them!! He was fighting me!!”

“You hurt my little brother! I don't see why Ryou trusts you! You stupid mutt!”

“I hate you, fucking asshole! I was HELPING Mokuba!”

“YOU WERE HURTING THEM! I hate you!”

“I hate you even more!”

“I hate you the most!”

“That's not possible, cuz I already hate you the most of all!!”

Well, better not waist anymore time! Daddy was now trying to push Seto away from Jou, but it was useless. Even from a high place where I was now I could see both were ready to fight. Well ... at least I can go and get Bakura!

I speeded to my daddy's bedroom, and I immediately felt Bakura's energy rise a bit. He must be here! I searched in daddy's drawers, in his closets, and under his bed ... not there! But that wouldn't be possible. I couldn't possibly leave without Bakura! I mean, ever since he came into my life, everything worked out perfectly! Faith couldn't be THIS cruel!! I mean, why would faith want us not to see each other anymore. And I couldn't even say goodby-

Wait a sec ... he's nearby, though I don't know where ... so why not ... hmmm ... I could always try!

-Bakura? Are you here?!-

-B-Bakura?? ...-

-B-Bakura ... If you hear me ... I-I ... I'm leaving now- My thought became more whispers, and they were more meant to me. I guess I was just trying to give myself hope I would see Bakura again.

-... I ... I'll miss you ... a-and if I'm old, I'll come back!- I felt my legs giving in, and I let myself fall on the floor. I didn't feel the pain, even though I heard something snap in my right leg. All of a sudden I felt much colder. Daddy must have turned off the heat some while ago now.

-BAKURA!!!- I cried in my mind, but I still didn't hear Bakura's potty mouth inside my head. I felt all the energy flow out of my body, and grew colder at the minute. Meanwhile I heard another voices raise from outside ... hmmm, I think my daddy just found out I'm inside once again.

-Bakura ... write me if you are free again! I-I ... Jou and Seto have my addresses ... j-just steal them!!- I heard the vague noises of someone climbing the stairs in a rush, but I couldn't really put a finger on it. Everything was slipping away in the bedroom. All I could see was dark. Only dark. And I was still growing colder.

-Bakura ... I love you- I whispered into my mind, feeling more and more tired by the second. Pain and colour was still not be seen or felt. Only the darkness. I could feel the darkness very well. And the coldness too.

“Ba ... kura ...” I whispered, while I felt someone picking me up, hugging me for comfort. I felt a slight warmth bracing me, before I felt into a sort of slumber. I closed my eyes soon after that moment, and I snuggled against the warmth.

When I felt the person moving, I tried once more to free myself, so I could stay with Bakura, though all there was in the bedroom was mere darkness, but the struggling was useless. The person didn't let me go.

When the person closed my daddy's bedroom, I could swear I had heard a faint `Ryou' but the darkness was getting too much for me, and soon I passed out completely.

Little did I know, the second my daddy closed his bedroom, carrying me slowly downstairs, there was a little change of atmosphere. A transparent person made of fog appeared in the middle of the room, trying to concentrate on staying transparent very much. After he mouthed a faint `Ryou', he disappeared again, hoping there would be a day he collect enough energy once again, and could free himself once and for all. Then he would surely write to Ryou, and reunite once again, so both would be happy forever.

Too bad that wouldn't be today. Bakura was too weak, and Ryou ... well, Ryou was moving out of Japan.
