They wont post my reviews anymore…how am I going to read them?! Oh, well, I'll just assume none are flamers and thank you.

~Chapter five: Not last~

Ryou woke up early the next morning and decided to bring Bakura his breakfast a bit earlier as well. He walked across the cold yard to the storeroom to find Bakura already up, nervousness clouding his eyes.

"Greetings." He said. When Ryou came in.

Ryou blushed a light tint of red. "Hello, Bakura."

They stared at each other for some time, then Ryou gave Bakura his breakfast and was about to leave when Bakura said, "Ryou, do you still have the key?"

Ryou couldn't remember.

Bakura held a dangling object up, the key. "Don't forget about it again. It's important." He mentioned Ryou over and put the key around Ryou's neck, then he planted a kiss on his fore head.

"Bakura? Why is the key so important?"

"I'll tell you why, when we met again. Promise not to lose it."

"Um, yesterday, you said that it could unlock anything…is that true?"

"Of course."

Ryou didn't know what to say, perhaps this man has been alone for too long, and gone a little nuts. He smiled and waved goodbye to Bakura. "Bye."

And this time instead of just waving, Bakura responded with, "We will meet again."

And with that, Ryou made his way to school.

The cameraman and new director were very grouchy, having slept in a makeshift tent outside of Ryou's house.

"Come on, he's going to school."

"We sorta stick out. How do we tape everything he does without him noticing?"

"Um…I'm sure his school life is pretty boring, we could stay here…"

The director ran up to Ryou, and tapped his shoulder.

Ryou didn't expect this, "Ohmygosh. Oh, wait, I know you two."

"You have a look, that no other actor has, give us a call if you're interested." The director fished inside his pockets and took out a card, then he handed it to him.

"Um…oh, thank you, sir." Then he turned the opposite direction again and walked the other way. He stuffed the card in his pocket and didn't bother thinking about it, just yet.

The pot-bellied man turned to his cameraman, "Lets just wait for him to get back."

On the bus, Ryou took the card out, then he thought, being an actor is…hard, but they did say I can be successful, oh well, it wouldn't hurt to try.

Meanwhile, in the storeroom, Bakura was getting ready…to leave. He was known as a serial killer, it would be hard for him. Luckily, he wasn't well known in these parts. The next train out departs at seven PM, he thought, hopefully he would get to say good-bye to Ryou one last time.

The two men wanted Ryou to become the next celebrity where his name would always be on the tip of everybody's tongue, worldwide.

Bakura wanted to be with Ryou forever.

And so did Ryou.

But of course, nothing goes the way everybody wants, at least not yet.

That day, Ryou's parents picked him up from school. (let's pretend, they are still alive, and they are cold…like the people in those art commercials, haha, those are funny.)

"Hello, did your company let you out early?"

He didn't expect an answer, and his parents didn't give him one. They drove home in silence.

The two men were disappointed.

"His parents are there too."

"He can't come out to the storehouse."

Ryou was also disappointed. "Mom, I have to go the storehouse…for…an art project."

"You don't take art."

"No, I found something that was…historical, I want to draw it for extra credit in history."

"I thought your history teacher didn't like extra credit."

"I don't care, I want extra credit."

"What did you find?"

"Just let me go."

"WHAT DID YOU FIND?"

This isn't worth it, Ryou thought, "never mind, I don't want extra credit anymore." Then he ran upstairs. "I'm going to do my homework!"

Ryou's mother pursed her lips, "I knew we should have had the storehouse towed away when we moved here. Who has storehouses these days?!"

His father turned to his wife; "I don't know who, honey. Ryou is spending WAY to much time in that storehouse, you want to go see what's in there?"

"Naw, the snow is too deep, he's probably keeping a crippled animal in there." She made a face. "Why people like animals…I have no idea."

"Go get started with dinner, I'm going to go see what's in there." He pulled up his jacket.

"Do it later, dear. We are fresh out of carrots. Run down to the market and buy some."

"Alright then." He went out side and got back into the car. And drove away.

Ryou was staring out the window, admiring the sunset, when he saw his father walking toward the storehouse. Out of his car, carrying groceries. "Oh my god! Thinkthinkthink." He picked up his math book and ran outside. "DAD, DAD!!! I need help in math!"

"Just a minute, Ryou." He opened the door to the storehouse. "Give this to your mother." He handed Ryou the grocery bag.

"No, don't…"

His father lifted an eyebrow at Ryou. "Why not?"

Perhaps Bakura could hide somewhere. "HIDE, HIDE!!!" Ryou screamed.

"Hides? Ryou, but that's outlawed." He stepped in, and Ryou, pale with fear, followed.

"Why, there are no hides in here, in fact, it's just the same old storeroom that I remember."

Ryou breathed out in relief, Bakura did manage to hide after all.

Then his father began searching the room, inside the boxes, the cabinet and even under the mattress.

They walked outside. "Now what did you need help on again?"

"Um… this." He opened the chapter to a random page and pointed at a problem. "Number…27."

His father explained it to him and Ryou provided feedback. "Oh, ok, that's why, thank you." But his mind was on the visibility of Bakura. How did he hide? He thought, my father searched everywhere.

"Now do you get it?"

"No…I mean, yes, I get the question."

His father left toward the house. "Dinner is almost ready."

Ryou debated on whether or not he should go see if Bakura was still in the storehouse. He

followed his father back into the house. Perhaps he just happened to be outside, taking a

leak, Ryou thought. But then he wouldn't take all his stuff, either…right? Ryou stopped

walking and looked back at the storehouse.
