# Same Night At Dorm
No matter what Ryo couldn't let the regret of speaking the question of Dorm manager. But he indeed didn't know and it was legitimate to ask at least but after asking, he felt the atmosphere change in the air and figured he have done something bad as his impression and with their feelings.
Even if they didn't show or their mood and expression had drastic bad change.
All Ryo could do was regret if he could had change time. "Actually I can... no I can't however I want." He could had pulled that sleeve from start if it was that convenient.
Well, he stll have chance that they could just forget it later. But he could tell they had very emotional relationship with the manager and something bad happened so it is natural, and now chances are more low. He could just wish they won't bring this up and Ryo won't bring this topic again.
"Thanks for having me." Ryo said as he was on a one of four bed fixed on wall I'm line formation.
And he was on the last one. The one where these three's friend should be but isn't here.
"I don't know if to be thankful of Jaden-San or worried for not being here." Syrus gave light laugh and smile as he said.
"Jaden must be a good friend if you are that worried." It was a double edged talk. It may just like ended up like previous one or not. But Ryo knew he had to get a change of mood.
"Yeah." Syrus gave a big smile. "He is a very best friend to me."
Ryo smiled as he remembered someone same to him. The one who made him into duelist life. Who gave him mixed, good and bad feel at same time. His once goal.
"A friend like one who you feel strong emotions doesn't get twice in life. But it just makes them more important."
"Yeah! He is nit just a friend but someone who helped me to throw away my fear. I was like a grape ball of many on one grape full of balls. But to have a friend like him is more than just a gift." They started talking about their unchangeable goals.
And Chazz shouted. "SHUT UP! I WANT TO SLEEP RIGHT NOW!"
Then both went to sleep.
Around one hour passed and one of four got up from his bed.
"Sorry Syrus but I have to go right now. I don't have time to be here more than I already have."
And Ryo went to door and then slightly opened it and went outside without making noise.
Ryo then slowly closed the door and went and without taking use of stairs he jumped directly from first floor with a cool style, he placed his right hand on the steel bar and jumped from the left side of it. Using his right hand as support.
And he landed a little from where he was standing.
"This should be good." He take a breath in the ice-cold night and his breathing was slightly visible. Making transparent white air.
"Even if Syrus didn't find the D-Bike anyone else could had, or more good thing that no one has and I could still find it."
But Ryo still had the same frustrated obstacle as before him, where can he find his D-Bike. There was ground of whole island below him and yet the D-Bike might not be here is also plausible.
Ryo stared to walk fast at a destination he had in his mind since he got at Dorm.
The forest.
As far as Acedmia goes, the forest of there is very deep, and dark and feels different at day and night.
Forest was near Dorm and wasn't scary at first sight but as he entered forest, he started to jump through trees from branches and trees, and giant grounds and rocks.
He goes deep and deep while looking at all directions and trying to find his D-Bike as his eyes adjusted into dark sooner.
Somehow Ryo was getting a feeling which was anything but good.
As Ryo entered the forest into very deep, at this night it was very dark and bad omens was getting into Ryo's vision. Crows making echoes, leafs falling from trees and their branches and unheard echoes coming and going.
Yet Ryo unfazed just scanned his scrounging as he goes. While he had idea that he might run into the Jaden. Friend of the people he have befriended now. But he didn't.
"I just can't get it. Somehow I feel I have been here never before yet it feels familiar. Is this because of similarity of Acedmia and this Duel Acedmy?"
No matter how scary or bad the air become he firm just trued to find his with agil movements.
Until he find himself at a certain place. There was a dark lake in night. It was just lake but because of night it might might've looked dark. So Ryo derived this idea out of his mind.
And in front of him was just a black ruth. Just black even in the moon's light it was still black. Ryo tried to go there without feeling unease but then his hand started to shake.
His legs stared to shake.
His fingers frozed.
His eyes fixed on that area but couldn't move.
And then he didn't know he moved or not. His legs changed place or not but he found himself at morning shine, at the bed he had slept.
"Good morning Ryo-San. Did you had good sleep?"
Syrus asked as Ryo's eyes were already wide open.
"... Yeah."
"That is good. We are going into Acedmy so are you just gonna be here or come too?" Chazz said as he left the room.
"Yeah. I will just take some rest and walk around Island."
"Fine. I had already asked the lady in kitchen and you will have your part of breakfast."
"Thank you."
And everyone left and Ryo was alone.
"What had happened? I was just at the forest right moment ago. Did someone dragged me here? No not possible. But I am certain I didn't lost consciousness... I will go there again."
And Ryo went up from bed and left room. He felt bad not taking breakfast Syrus had asked to prepare so he ate it very fast like his life depends on it.
And he went running into forest.
Syrus had told last evening that the forest is very scary and somehow supernatural at night Ryo naturally didn't believe but now he is looking forward for something to happen, but his main goal is still his D-Bike.
And goes into the same way and route he had taken last night. He then did same turns and ways he had. And yet he didn't arrived at the place he had lost his control of body.
He knew he had spent more than 2 hours of time in forest searching he was exhausted and yet when he was on bed morning he felt refreshed.
Like he had very deep, peaceful sleep. All four had went to bed late and Ryo spent lot of time in forest, more than 2 hours so him having not just great but full sleep was not natural.
He felt something happened to him but he couldn't grasp what.
As after very long time searching forest, near afternoon came and he hadn't had made lunch prep so it was natural he wouldn't have anything to eat. And according to Ryo the money he had wouldn't be use here so he can't buy. And he couldn't ask others for help, unless it was a grave situation he just couldn't like something soped him.
And he was around beach taking a break with hot sand and cool sea.
He saw calm yet strong waves going and coming, clashing with each other and making mind refreshing sound.
He remembered that day when he first spent time with future duelist and had come here and then met Celina after little long time and they had fun time together. And they also played at beach and and Bike ride and race with their bikes.
"It sure was good change of peace with something daring." Bit of Ryo's corner of mouth goes up as he recalled those memories.
His not calm mind since last night of forest now was calm and rational.
Stand up again stared to go at a shade for relaxing as two people he knew came into view.
"Ryo-San!" Syrus came with taking wheel chair and someone scary looking on it.
"Hello. Quite coincidence."
"Seems like these are on walk. Is Syrus helping him for someone? Thus guy sure helps others."
"He is my brother Zane and Zane he is my new friend who have come just yesterday Ryo-San." Syrus have brief introduction.
"Nice to meet you." Zane said.
"Nice to meet you." Ryo said.
Both give short but to point introduction.
"I am thirsty. Can you give me a water bottle Syrus?" Zane said without turning to Syrus.
"Yeah." Syrus replied and went to near vending machine at beach."
And Syrus went, Zane till now had blank soft-expression but now it was serious one.
"I heard that you are a expert technician for temporary help here."
"Yeah."
"Although it is clear lie."
"..."
Ryo didn't flinched nor made any movement he just stayed firm and eyes too.
"But Syrus have certain faith in you. You does seem someone who is in need of help but I don't know why you are at on Acedmy. Through past me would had been far cautious and had alerted about you. But now I know it is not impossible and you are not bad person, i could tell that."
There he made a very slight curve on mouth.
"I don't know why you are doing whatever here but Syrus really wants to help you. All thanks to that Jaden's influence."
"Though it doesn't seem like you are not okay with it."
And after that Syrus was back with water bottle and then some talk they bud farewell.
And after that Ryo went to forest again and yet he couldn't find anything and it was already, 10:30 at night.
Everyone have gathered though I had met Alexis and talk a bit but everything is okay and she believed what I said. And her brother Atticus was too here and Zane too expect Jaden of course.
"Is this guy really a good friend of theirs? I am starting to doubt it a friend who never meets their fruends once at least a day or doesn't even sleep with."
Ryo blames Jaden for not being a good friend and was confused why these people care so much about him.
"Now it's Ryo's turn." Chazz said.
"It have to be a worthwhile story." Alexis said with smile.
Right now they had gathered after dinner. Of course this time Ryo did get his part of dinner.
Right now Syrus, Hayato, Chazz, Aster, Zane, Alexis Rhodes and her brother Atticus Rhodes. Everyone together were talking about some creepy, scary or horror stories.
It was just for fun but then Ryo thought l.
"Could it be I am acting unconnected to everyone and at unease so they want to make me feel comfortable." Ryo smiled inside of his mind.
"Then I will say..."
Before Ryo it was, first Alexis's turn she said about her dreams that she was getting when she was little and her brother helping her, it was real.
And Chazz talking about his relationship with his brothers and then how he got his ambitions to become greatest duelist.
"It is story about my two childhoods." Ryo said.
"Two childhoods?"
Naturally confused in way Ryo said it.
"It is real, actual happened. Kinda spiritual story so you will get it later."
And Ryo started telling about something he never even once tell to Leo, Reiji nor Ray, anyone but once just Zarc.
