He nodded slowly and watched Copy, a smile on his face. "Cute little thing," he muttered and leaned down to pet Copy.

She nodded "And to think some heartless person threw him out in the snow.." she said sighing.

"Poor little fella.." he muttered and gently picked Copy up, placing him on his lap and stroking him softly.

Ryou returned Ishizu's gentle squeeze, allowing himself to be led over to the couch. He sat down on it, glad that he wasn't in the kitchen with Bakura anymore. That he wasn't alone anywhere with Bakura, in fact. Part of him knew that he needed to continue on, to wait for something good to happen. To watch and see what would happen in the future. The other part of him, which seemed much larger right then, wanted the sweet release. It was overpowering him, filling most of his body. He was barely living anyway. Blind, weak, hurt, and he was bound to Bakura. What good would it be to live, anyway? There was nothing left for him. Ryou felt his spirit becoming crushed...
Bakura, who had just left the kitchen to stand smirking in the doorway, looked at his hikari for a little bit. He heard Ryou's depressing thoughts from their mind link, the boy unnoticing that his yami had access to his mind. This was the point Bakura wanted Ryou at; he would have the advantage over the others. If Ryou either died or was held as a hostage, Bakura might be able to play Khalid's new emotion against him. Khalid's new emotion being Ishizu, that information also being known by the tomb robber from Ryou. If Khalid, one of the more major threats, was out of the picture, Bakura could take down the pharaoh. Set up some game with luck, since Atem mainly depended on stragities to win. And that 'heart of the cards,' and his stupid friends.
He'd have to set something up that didn't involve any of those things. Something that would put the pharaoh's hikari at risk, or something. A plan already forming in his mind, Bakura's smirk widened. After that, or maybe before, he'd be able to take the Millennium Tauk easily away from Ishizu. She was pathetic in his eyes, but first he'd have to get Khalid out of the way, and make sure Malik wouldn't do anything. This would mean depending on Marik, which Bakura wasn't sure he'd be able to do.
Bakura's forming scheme would end up facing Shadi at some point to get the remaining items. Well, besides Marik's Rod. He would force that away from the yami somehow before he met up with Shadi. And he knew that if things worked out okay, Shadi would approach the tomb robber if he knew he had most of the Millennium Items. And because of that, he'd be able to overtake Shadi.
Atem glanced uneasily over at Bakura; there wasn't something right about how the tomb robber's eyes were glazed over in thought and that evil smirk. Something was going to happen... Or maybe he was plotting how he'd eat that dog. Gritting his teeth, the former pharaoh remembered his side of the deal. Watching the feast wasn't going to be pleasant. A look of disgust swept over his face as a mental image of Bakura chowing down on a dog was already forming.
Atem didn't know that his mind link with Yugi was quite strong at that moment, and that the boy was taking in every image of what the pharaoh was thinking, which meant the image of Bakura and the dog. He recoiled sharply at that, since it was exactly the thing he had been trying to avoid thinking about. He tore away the mind link after scolding his yami through it, telling him to keep his thoughts to himself. It could've been worse, of course.
Yugi caught Atem's eye after that just happened, all in silence. The pharaoh gave his hikari a look of sorrow to apologize, and Yugi shrugged slightly. He shouldn't've been so rough on the pharaoh; Yugi had picked up a crush Atem had before, and was hoping that everything worked out for his yami. Yugi would never admit this, but at one point he had a small crush on the pharaoh himself; it didn't last for very long, of course. He quickly shook those kinds of thoughts from his head long ago, and directed some of his likings towards Tea, so that Atem wouldn't get suspicious in any way. Yugi never would've had the nerve to tell his yami, even when he didn't feel that way again.
Atem, oblivious to his hikari's thoughts, turned towards Ryou. He studied the boy's expression, which was hard to read because eyes showed most feelings. He was trembling slightly, his lips tight together. Ryou seemed to be struggling with his own mind... or maybe he was speaking with Bakura through their mind link. Judging the look of smugness on Bakura's face and the expression on Ryou's, that was probably what was happening. Of course, Atem didn't know that the two pale-haired boys weren't even trying to communicate with each other, each wrapped up in their own thoughts.
Still thinking that Bakura was tormenting his hikari, Atem used a little power in the Millennium Puzzle to stretch out with his mind. He was able to form small mind links with other bearers, and could communicate with them that way, as long as his power didn't wear out, unlike the permanent bond he had with Yugi. Atem reached out for Ryou's mind, and after making connection with it paused for a moment to see if Ryou took notice of him or if he could listen in on what he thought Bakura and Ryou were talking about.
Ryou's mind was wide open at the moment, melancholic thoughts still flooding his mind. It was hard to ignore another presence invading your mind, and Ryou quickly cleared his mind as best he could, though a trace of his previous thoughts still loomed in his mind. He could tell that the person in his mind was Atem automatically, telling that because of the Millennium Puzzle. He also sensed Bakura suddenly become more alert, snapping out of his previous daydreaming to sharpen the mind link between the two of them to see what was going on.
Bakura asked in a snide voice, before anybody could speak in their triangle of mind links.
There was a snort from Atem. He said in an equally hateful voice, locking eyes with Bakura in the real world and glaring. Bakura's sudden greeting made Atem believe that he was hurrying to silence or hide something.
A growl came from Bakura's link. Remembering their deal, he knew not to say anything threatening. He snarled, matching Atem's glare and returning it fiercely.
Atem growled at Bakura, eyes flashing.
#003366] Bakura snapped, then quickly regained himself, adding in a sarcastic tone. <Please watch what you say. I take offense in that comment.> He corrected himself quickly, folding his arms over his chest and taking a slight step forward, his eyes still locked with Atem's. He cackled as he backed away, closing his side of the link.
Atem groaned softly. The least thing he wanted was to get Ryou hurt or in any trouble with Bakura. He'd have to be more careful in the future to avoid getting the boy in any harm, and to keep an eye on him. He apologized to Ryou first off, wondering if the boy was even listening, he had been silent for so long.
After a moment's pause there was a soft answer. Ryou's voice sounded helpless, even more than usual. He showed no sign of emotion towards what he knew would be in store for him. No fear, nothing.
Atem paused, sighing softly. He could figure out what was happening already without speaking much to Ryou. His spirit was crushed, his will broken. He had seen this happen before in the past, even been the cause of it before. Atem said encouragingly, moving his gaze in the real world over towards Ryou, forgetting for the moment that the boy was blind. He nodded his head slightly, holding back another sigh. Atem trailed off, trying to remember what he had contacted Ryou for in the first place. Drawing a blank, he struggled for a few more minutes before speaking again.
There was a long silence from Ryou. He said slowly; blankly.
Atem wanted to bring up something about Ryou's current state of mind, how broken the boy was. There was a nudge from Ryou telling him to get out of the mind, and besides that his Millennium Puzzle's powers were starting to run out. He backed away, relaxing with a soft sigh as he closed his eyes and rubbed them with his thumb and index finger.

(Long post. ninja *wonders who Atem has a crush on*)
Glancing from Atem to Bakura back to Ryou, whose hand she was still holding, Ishizu bit her bottom lip. There was a heavy tension in the air, and the piercing shots between Bakura and Atem told the room that something silent was going on. Every now and then one of them would growl, and the only moment was Bakura stepping forward. After what seemed like hours, the tension was lifted, and Atem sighed, rubbing his eyes. It unsettled Ishizu not to know what was going on.

(I'm still wondering that myself. It's a tie between two, very possibly three, people.)
Ryou slid his hand out of Ishizu's grasp, hugging his middle silently as he bowed his head almost shamefully. He fell back against the couch with a soft sigh, barely audible. His tight hug slackened, and it appeared that he fainted.
It would have be impossible to tell just by looking at him if Ryou was awake or not, but since Bakura had a mind link with his hikari he could sense that he was still conscious.
Clearing his throat, breaking the silence of the room, Atem moved away from Ryou and over to his own hikari, carefully avoiding anybody's gaze. He spoke in a low voice to Yugi, pausing to put a hand on his shoulder as he bent over slightly to whisper in his ear.
Yugi looked a bit distressed, and cast a long look towards Ryou, lifeless against the couch. His gaze trailed over towards Bakura, stealing a quick look at the yami's clouded face. Bakura was deep in thought once more, and the lack of response from Ryou told the pair that he was just dwelling in his own mind instead of messing with Ryou.

Icequeen102990 ((everybody's in the livingroom..kira already left mrik's side at the bathroom were she teased him for making a mess..)) Malik came out with a soda, looking around at the scene it didn't seem like much had changed, so he sat down beside Ryou.

"It's almost as hideous as Ryou's--" Marik told Malik in a low growl.
