Ah, do I finally get the opportunity to write my first fic. Be gentle with me, okay?

Ryou-Ran: Ah, my dearest Ryou, how do you feel today?

Ryou: Fine... I guess.

Ryou-Ran: Why "I guess"?

Ryou: Because I don't like the way you are leering at me and grinning evilly.

Ryou-Ran: Do I grin evilly? (Grins evilly)

Yami-Bakura: Yes, you are and I can tell; I'm The King Of Evil Grins!

Ryou-Ran: I thought you were The King Of Thieves.

Yami-Bakura: Well, that too. But it gives you a great sense of power!

Ryou: What, grinning evilly?

Yami-Bakura: --"No, being a King.

Ryou-Ran: Oh... well... whatever. Let's start the fic.

Yami-Bakura: I'm The King Of Disclamers too. Ahem: Ryou-Ran does not own any Yu-Gi-Oh! characters, thank Ra for that.

The Light Dies Out

Class 2A was doing a test in their classroom. The sun was shining outside and the people inside were all grumpy, finding having to do a test at such a beautiful day a great bummer.

Tristan was bent over his papers and sighed. He was never good at mathematics, but now he was convinced he was absolutely going to screw it up. He sucked on the end of his pen and eventually swallowed a mouthfull of ink. He began to cough, thus getting death-glares from several of his classmates.

Yugi was doing it quite well and kept writing with a little smile on his face. Tea had already given her papers to the teacher and Joey was mumbling furiously and had made a whole scratch on his paper.

Yugi leaned back to give his fingers some rest and looked at the back of the person sitting at the desk before his. He looked at the long, white hair of the boy. "I wonder if that Yami is still bugging him". Yugi thought. "He has been sick for a few days again." Yugi decided to let it go and threw himself on his test again.

Ryou Bakura wiped a few white locks out of his field of vision and focussed on his test again. He had felt the feeling of eyes staring at his back moments before. That always made him nervous. He felt the cord of his Millennium Ring around his neck and hoped his Yami was asleep, and not reading his thoughts. The teacher wandered around the classroom and looked over the shoulders of her students. Tristan was grumbling something and made another correction, while Yugi was calmly writing formulas down. Joey had absentmindedly drawn a Red-Eyes-Black-Dragon on his paper. Tea was doing her homework. The teacher stopped at Ryou's side. She watched his pale hand write neat Kanji down on his paper. She smiled and lay her hand on Ryou's shoulder.

Ryou stretched his back with a start. His body stiffened. He looked up, a scared expression on his face. When he saw it was just the teacher his face relaxed and a little smile appeared on his lips. He bent over his papers again.

The teacher strolled over to her desk and sat down. Ryou concerned her. He was often sick and the way he reacted when she lay her hand on his shoulder scared her. Something was going on with that boy, but she did not know what. She looked at him work and decided to let is rest for a while and ask about it later.

Somebody knocked on the door. "Come in." The teacher said. A girl with a phone entered."There's a phonecall, ma'am."she said. "The class in doing a test at the moment, Tazuka." The teacher replied. "No time for phonecalls." "But, ma'am, It's an urgent phonecall for Ryou Bakura." Tazuka said. Ryou raised his head. Everybody looked at him. "Something has happened to his father."Tazuka continued.

A loud crash cut through the silence in the classroom. Ryou had leapt up and had accidentally thrown his desk to the floor. He rushed over to Tazuka. Tazuka handed him the phone. "Ryou Bakura speaking."Ryou almost snarled into the phone. "What's going on?" The person on the other end of the line answered. Ryou paled. His jaw fell. His eyes grew to the size of saucers.

His fingers lost their grip on the phone. The device clattered to the floor.

Ryou swayed and fell face-first to the floor.

Ryou: My father?! You...

Ryou-Ran: Shut up, Ryou. You'll reveal everything to the readers.

Ryou: (sobs) sob...

Yami-Bakura: What did you do to his father?

Ryou-Ran: (Whispers in Yami-Bakura's ear)

Yami-Bakura: Ooh, yeah, that sounds good!

Ryou-Ran: Well, Yami-Bakura likes it... a good sign? I don't know. What has happened to Ryou's father? Find out in the next exiting episode of Dragonball Z! Uh... I mean: Please review and you'll find out.
