Bakura scanned the crowd outside the shine, looking for the telltale sign of hair from his world that would help him spot Kiryu in the sea of black and bleached to red hair. He perked up as there was the contrast of
white-blue hair. "Kiryuu-kuuun! Over here!" he called, waving his arm back and forth, trying to ignore the disapproving stares of those around him.

Bakura wasn't hard to spot at all. His hair was obviously different from everyone else's. Kiryu grinned and hurried over, waving back.

"Hey~" he said once he got there. "Sorry Saitou isn't here too. He said he had something he wanted to do alone today."

Bakura gave a huge smile, instantly relaxing at the sight of the other boy from his world. Not only was his hair the more familiar style he was used to, it was almost the same colour as his own, that almost white that made him stick out even back home.

"Aah, that's all right," he assured with a small laugh. "This is his home city, isn't it? So it would make sense!"

"Yeah, or close to it." Kiryu glanced over his shoulder, briefly looking worried. The expression was gone by the time he looking back at Bakura again.

"I'm glad he could come back here. He's really missed it..."

Bakura blinked at the look, but let it pass, not wanting to pry.

"Aah, I know the feeling!" he laughed, giving a smile. "I didn't realize how much I missed being home until I got here! Even with it all being different, it's still Japan, after all!"

"Yeah...being able to understand what everyone's saying...I love the City, but that's probably the one things that sucks."

Kiryu shrugged with a slight laugh. "I feel like a tourist, though."

Bakura nodded in agreement. "You didn't get English learning when you ported in either?" he asked with a smile.

He gave a small laugh, rubbing the back of his neck. "Un... I almost feel like a gaijin, even though I was born here!" he laughed again.

Kiryu shook his head, looking faintly annoyed. "I've been learning the hard way. I think you know a lot more than I do, though."

He shot a glare at a couple walking by who were giving them odd looks. "Yeah. It's...kind of annoying..."

"Aah, I was always good at English in school because of my mother," Bakura laughed with embarrassment, ducking his head a little. "So I have a bit of an unfair advantage of knowing it before I came, really. There's just somethings I never learned. Never thought I'd need to know how to say a lot of things that go on here!" he laughed, rubbing the back of his neck.

His eyes followed Kiryu's glare before dropping low. "I keep feeling like I should be wearing a large hat or something... it's really bad here, much more than back home. And no one in the City really looks twice... I think I got too used to that," he said in a soft voice.

Kiryu wasn't sure what to say to that. He'd bring up the fact that he'd never gone to school and had taught himself most things, but any time he brought up Satellite, Bakura got depressed. Which was understandable. But he'd rather not make Bakura get depressed again.

"There's a lot of people there who look like they should have come from our world too," Kiryu said with a shrug. "Most of the robots do. We'll just have to show it doesn't bother us."

Of course, he glared at someone else just after saying that. That's definitely not one of his fortes.

"Un..." Bakura nodded before giving another small, embarrassed laugh. "It's sort of comforting, really!"

He paused, blinking. "Wait, robots?" he asked curiously.

Kiryu blinked back for a moment before remembering that not everyone knew about that.

"You know how most people who weren't human before...or alive...get turned human when they get ported in? There's a whole bunch of sentient robots who ended up like that. I think they keep their coloring when they get turned, so they have odd hair colors and eye colors and clothes."

"Aaah, really? That's so cool!" Bakura smiled happily. "Aaah, like something out of the anime I saw growing up!" he laughed. "It had to be hard for them to adjust, I'd think, but I can imagine the trouble they'd have not sticking out if they hadn't gotten a human form."

"I dunno, I think they'd have an easier time as robots, but..." Kiryu's expression turns a little softer; he really is fond of his allies. "I think most of them are adjusting okay."

He holds up a camera, grinning. "I was taking pictures for one of them so he could see some of the buildings here."

"Do they look that different with the hair and eye colour?" Bakura asked curiously. "Or is it just that with everything in the city no one looks twice at anything?" he smiled.

He grinned at the camera. "Aah, I was doing that in Domino with the comm! I recorded video to send back to Yuugi-kun and everyone."
