the_campus | Duel 002: Peaceful Days! The Fluffiest Training Montage Commences

[It's a bit of a pain, being in a school with no teachers.

Ryou Bakura isn't the type of kid who really likes being too active; he's about on the level of most ordinary teenagers. But after being laid up for so long with the burns to his arms and leg, not only is he extremely restless, but he's sure even his metabolism won't hold up much longer, with the amount he eats. That's why, after checking to see that Henry isn't home to take him up on that training offer, he's decided to try treating this like school and taking an hour or so to do his very own gym class, all by himself. It'd be easier with teachers, but... he doesn't have a choice right now.

Most kids probably would just take the break and be lazy, but right now, Ryou's working hard. Apart from the occasional break, he can be found pretty easily in the east wing, dressed in gym clothes and doing everything from running laps on the track field to climbing ropes.

...though that last one is more like 'falling off ropes'. Stupid mats... they don't cushion that fall at all. Hopefully nobody's dumb enough to stand below him.]

Ow...

[Time for a banana and some water, he thinks.]

Ah, I'm so tired...

...ahaha. Of course... that's so typically Kaiba-kun. Duel Monsters and Mokuba... what else matters to him?

[He lets Lisa fuss over him with the practiced skill of someone used to being hurt. At least most of the other burns are no longer dangerous... even if they've left a lot of scars on his forearms. He's more reluctant to let her check his leg, but at least he's wearing shorts, so it doesn't mean taking his trousers off. That one is much better healed, almost gone.]

A strange boy claimed that he had stolen something important from him, but he couldn't offer proof when I pressed, merely resorting to try and guilt me.

...and bribe me, I think. He had something... gold and shiny close to me before driving away in anger.

Gold and shiny...?

[Wait. That wording.]

Uhm... was he wearing a lot of gold and riding a motorcycle?

Yes, that was him. He seemed... somewhat off, as if his sanity was not entirely intact.

That's... my roommate. [Sigh.] I'll talk to him. What did he think you'd stolen?

No, I hadn't stolen anything. It was Kaiba he claimed did so, and he never fully explained to me what it was. I had wanted proof before I tried anything, and that seemed to anger him.

Eh... He thought Kaiba-kun had stolen some...thing...

[Oh my god Malik you didn't.]

I'm going to yell at him so hard.

...Are you aware of what it would be?

Un... He wants something of Kaiba-kun's. He tried to get me to steal it for him once, but I refused.

But I'm not sure if I should tell or not.

...Hm. There's no need to. If he asked a stranger and you refused him as well, it's unlikely that he knows someone who can take it. Furthermore, Kaiba is not the kind who seems willing to so easily have things he owns taken.

I agree. Kaiba-kun protects important things to himself fiercely.

If something does turn up missing... I will ask you then.

If that happens... I'll find it and return it. Promise.

I trust you.

...eh? Why?

Because you gave me your word.

Eh? You trust my word that easily?

...Should I not?

No, that's not it... I was just surprised.

Is it that rare a thing?

People are pretty difficult when it comes to trusting someone they don't know.

I see... I have trusted a lot I hadn't known, and it didn't seem to be a problem.

That's good... People are generally pretty trustworthy, you know? It's just that they're naturally suspicious of others.

Some are also quite evil and cruel.

Un. Some are.

But you can't help people like that.
