Room for Rent II

Chapter Six

"And then I says to her, I says, `You got a cantaloupe on your head!'…" Pegasus paused in his story to take a long draught from a bottle of sake. "And she says to me, `Get away from me, foo!'. I didn't think that was very nice…" Pegasus pitched forward, latching himself onto Bob's middle and sobbing into his shirt.

"They're all so mean to meeeeeeee!"

"It'll be O.K., Pegsy," said Bob, who was also sloshed. "I'll beat them up for you," he continued as he patted the top of Pegasus' head.

"And that Ryou kid, he's mean to me too! He said that you weren't gay and I had no chance of being with youuuu…"

"I'm not gay!" Bob exclaimed.

"Neither am I!" Pegsy declared, proudly raising his fist in the air.

"Tee-hee. I feel like a birdie on a telephone wire!"

"Right, right," Pegasus murmured, sleepily resting his head on Bob's shoulder. "Hey, Bob?"

"Eh?"

"…I wuv youuuuuuu…"

Bob giggled. "Ditto!"

"Ditto?"

"Yeah! You know, that shape-shifting Pokemon!"

"I wanna be the very best, like no one ever waaaaas…"

"…to catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause!"

"Hey, Bob! I just had a great idea!"

"Hm?"

"Let's go do some karaoke!"

Bakura was wandering around the hall, waiting for his trig class to start, when something whooshed past him. It was a silvery-white something a few inches shorter than Bakura, and it had run off in the directions of the dorms.

"Ryou-chan?!" Bakura exclaimed, immediately dropping his books and taking off after his beloved. He rounded the corner, but Ryou wasn't anywhere in sight. Bakura stopped for a moment to think about where he might have gone.

"Well, if he went to the dorms… the only people he knows with dorms are Otogi and Honda… and Yami and Yuugi. Oh, and that odd, slutty chick who wears that purple bikini everywhere…"

So, Bakura decided by process of elimination that Ryou had gone to Yami's and Yuugi's dorm. So, he raced off in that direction, trig class completely forgotten.

"Open the door! Hello! OPEN THE BLOODY DOOR, YOU LEATHER-OBSESSED MORONS! …oh, hello Yami. Lovely day, isn't it?" Ryou said, trying to pretend he hadn't been the one yelling earlier.

"Leather-obsessed morons, are we?"

"…erm… no. Of course not," Ryou answered quietly.

Yami took in Ryou's appearance; hair disheveled, eyes red, panting… "What have you been doing, Ryou?"

"Running."

"Why were you running?" Yami asked.

"Who's that at the door, Yams-chan?" a voice called from inside.

"It's Ryou!" Yami called.

"Let him in, then, silly!"

"Oh." Yami opened the door wider, and Ryou slipped inside the dorm before Yami closed the door. Ryou flopped on the couch. "So, what's up?"

"The… the teacher… he…"

"Full sentences, please," Yami said with a forced smile.

"THE TEACHER DID ILLEGAL THINGS!"

"So? Yuugi and I do illegal things every day," Yami said.

Yuugi blushed. "Shut up, Yami." He threw a pillow at Yami. "Now, what illegal things did he do?"

"He said… that the only way I would pass his class… would be if I SLEPT WITH HIM!" Ryou shrieked, and began sobbing.

"WHAT?!" came the angry yell from outside.

"Hm? Yuugi asked, going to the door and opening it. A furious Bakura was standing outside.

"RYOU!"

"…`kura?"

"What's this about a teacher? WHO WAS IT?!"

"P-Professor Mikuni…"

"…who's that?"

"The Lit teacher!"

"Oh. WELL, I SHALL GO AND POUND HIS FACE IN!"

"Bakura, wait!" Ryou called, but Bakura had already run off at top speed. "…mou…" He hugged himself, leaning into the couch fully.

"Why don't you go and chase him?" Yami suggested.

"…I'd never be able to catch him…"

"So. Chase him anyway," Yami said, attempting to bore holes into Ryou's head with his eyes.

"…there's no point in it," Ryou murmured, sighing heavily.

Yami glared at him. "Do I have to spell it out for you, Ryou? Leave!"

"B-but why…?" Ryou asked, looking thoroughly hurt, tears pricking in his eyes.

"I'm feeling frisky and I don't think you want to watch Yuugi and I go at it… unless, of course, you became a voyeur without telling anyone?"

"Emm…" Ryou blushed, immediately standing. "Yes, I think I'll go and stop Bakura from assaulting the teacher now…" He ran for the language department as fast as he could.

Ryou heard odd, unintelligible shrieks as soon as he entered the literature hall. It was a good thing that nobody else was around, or they definitely would have noticed.

"Wow, Ryou, you have a great right hook…" Mikuni murmured, swaying back and forth. "Heh heh…" He fell over, little swirlies in his eyes.

"Hey, Bakura…" Ryou said shyly, stepping over the body of his lit teacher to stand beside the mental patient boy.

"Well, he should leave you alone now!" Bakura said matter-of-factly. "I guess I'll be going to trig class now. Have a day, Ryou!"

"Wait! Bakura!" Ryou yelled, latching onto Bakura's middle.

"What?"

"Don't leaaaaaaaave meeeeeeeeeeeeee…" Ryou pleaded, staring up at Bakura with his puppy dog eyes.

"But I have to go to trig! I can't afford to have to beat up another teacher!"

"…no, Bakura… that's not what I mean," said Ryou, looking away, but still hanging onto Bakura's arm.

"You're scaring me, Ryou. You're acting like one of those blood-sucking worm thingies that live in the water… you know, the ones they used to stick on the really fat people so they'd lose weight!"

"A leech?"

"Yeah! One of those! …except bigger and with pretty eyes the color of chocolate pudding!"

Ryou coughed. "Anyway, back to what I was saying… I want you to stay with me forever! I… I don't care what father thinks anymore. You're coming home with me and I'll never let you leave me! Never, ever again!"

"…do… do you really mean it, Ry-chan?"

"Of course I do, Baku-chan!"

"I love you, Ryou!" Bakura hugged him tightly. "But I still have to go to trig. I'm late as it is."

"Big meanie," Ryou said, sticking his tongue out.

"You'd better put that tongue away unless you're planning on doing something with it."

Ryou smirked evilly in a very un-Ryou-like way. "You'd be surprised at all the wonderful things I can do with this tongue of mine," he murmured deviously, licking his lips.

"Oh, really?"

"Yeeeees. I can even open a Starburst… while it's in my mouth…"

"Oh my Ra! That's so cool, Ryou!" Bakura yelled happily. "Guess what, everybody! My boyfriend can open a Starburst in his mouth!"

"Ugh…" Ryou hid behind a large pile of textbooks, hoping no one would see him.

"Hey, Ryou… could you teach me how to do that? Huh, huh?" Bakura asked, excited.

"Maybe… when we get home."

"Yay! I can't wait!"

"Can't wait, eh? Then what do you say you skive off that trig class…?"

The light of epiphany suddenly flickered in Bakura's eyes. "…are you seducing me, Ryou?"

Ryou glared at him.

"I take that as a yes… let's be off, then!" Bakura bent down, lifting Ryou bride-style and carrying him to the car. "Yee-haw! I get to be with my Ry-chan forever!" Ryou raised an eyebrow at Bakura as he was dropped into the passenger seat.

"Sorry, Ryou. It's just that you bring out the Southern belle in me!"

Ryou coughed, looking out the window. "Oh, and guess what Ryou! I had bought all these girly CD's because I was missing you, but now I don't need them anymore! Here, you can have them!" Bakura dropped the pile of Spice Girls CD's on Ryou's lap as he crossed over the median in the road.

Ryou sweat-dropped. "Bakura… I would never listen to the Spice Girls."

"What about that song about the ham sandwich and the lovers and the mayonnaise?"

Ryou stared at Bakura. `I'm dating a mental patient… but at least he's sexy, right?'

"Oh, come on! Don't you know that song?"

Ryou shook his head.

"Fine. You were a really deprived child! If you wanna be my sandwich, ya gotta be ham and cheese! Mayonnaise is too fattening, pass the mustard pleaaaaaase!"

"You're odd, Bakura," Ryou said, and tried to tune him out for the rest of the ride.

"All right, Bakura… I'm going to march right in there and tell my daddy that the two of us will be together no matter what!"

"Yay! And then you'll do all the things you were talking about earlier, right?"

"Hmm… you'll just have to wait and see, won't you?"

Bakura growled, squeezing Ryou's hand.

Ryou smiled his `I'm-cute-be-my-slave?' smile, before opening the door. "Daddy! Daaaaaaaaddy!" He wandered into the hippie living room. "Where could he be…?" Ryou turned, feeling a dark presence looming dangerously over him… "Could it be?"

"What is it, Ryou-itooshi?"

"…do you think… he could be in his bedroom?" Ryou asked in a quietly shaking voice.

"Maybe."

Shuddering with trepidation, Ryou stepped forward. He knocked on the door with a quivering fist. "Daddy?"

When he received no answer, he slid the door open with an eerie creak. He took one look at the inside of the room.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Bakura gasped, running for his Ryou. He caught the boy as he was falling to the floor. "What's wrong, Ry-AHHHHHHHHHHH! What in Ra's name is going on here?"

"Hm?" asked Pegasus, staring sleepily at the two of them. "Ah! Oh no, the Ryous have multiplied! They're going to make fun of me even more now! BOB, SAVE ME!" Pegasus ducked under the covers to hide.

"What is it, Pegsy?" Bob asked, apparently having just awoken as well. "Oh, hello, Ryou. What's the mental patient here?"

"What are you doing in bed with Pegasus?!"

"Er… stuff."

"NOT UNDER MY ROOF, YOU'RE NOT! NOW GET OUT!"

"Oh, gimme a break, Ryou. We were just having a little fun!"

Ryou glared. "I'm disappointed in you, Bob!" he yelled, taking Bakura's hand and leading him out of the room before slamming the door.

Bakura, who had been shrinking back in fear of the Ryou's ire, was surprised to see Ryou's blinding smile presented to him. "Tee-hee! This is great, `Kura! Now father's bound to accept us! …I mean, now that he's having a liaison with a fruity author, how can he not?!"

"So we're happy?"

"Of, course, silly!" Ryou giggled. "What did you think we felt about this?"

"Well, er…"

"C'mon, Bakura! We need to go find a bag of Starburst!"

"Oh. OK. Yay!"

AN: I'm very happy with the boost in reviews… but I'm keeping the evil-ness effective. That is, if you don't give me enough reviews, I won't post the next chapter! Gwa ha ha!

…don't flame me for this chapter. Please.
