Hey yall! It is I, uhhh... yeah. Me. so... This isn't gonna be a very, umm, nice ficcy. Nice being uhh, the characters aren't very kind to each other.

Chapter One
"Hey! New student today!"
"Oh! Really?"
"Yeah! Some new girl..."
"Damn..."
"I heard she's really hot..." Ryou wasn't paying any attention to the people talking around him. He was too busy reading the book in his hands. He was happily reading along, until a slam made him look up. Joey Wheeler had slammed his hands down onto the desk to get his attention.
"Hey, Ryou!" He said, pushing the book down. "There's a new student in today!"
I'm so tired of being here...
Surpressed by all my
Childish fears...
"I heard," Ryou said, smiling. Joey sat down in the chair in the desk in front of him.
"She's in our class," Joey said, a smile playing on his lips. Ryou put the book down. He raised his eyebrows suspiciously.
"Why do I get the feeling that you're planning something?" Ryou asked, giving his friend a half-smile. Joey rolled his eyes and leaned forward.
"I saw the new girl," he said. Ryou just blinked.
"So?"
"So... She's incredible! She's so... I don't know," Joey said, thinking. "There's something about her that I just can't place. Almost like I've seen her before... Anyway, she's just the type of person who would get along great with you!" Ryou leaned back in his chair. He knew where this was going.
Ever since Joey had played matchmaker for two students in the school, he's been trying to fix up the only person in the school who didn't seem to like anybody.
"Oh, Joey, leave him alone," Tea Gardener said, walking over. She leaned down so her arms were on the desk. "Don't listen to him, Ryou. He's just being stupid." Tea turned to Ryou. "I was just talking with the new girl, Samayo. She's really nice, Ryou. You should meet her. And so should you," Tea said, pointing at Joey. Joey shrugged.
"I bet Mandy's giving her a run for her money right now anyway," he said, closing his eyes. "She's probably already ruined our reputations."
"You mean your reputation, you idiot," Tea said, looking at him. Joey opened his eyes.
"Well... So what?" He stood up, and looked around the room. He saw what he was searching for, and ran in that direction.
"He's pathetic," Tea said rolling her eyes. "So... Hey! There she is!" Tea stood up, and waved across the room. Ryou stood up and followed her gaze.
A tall girl, probably older then them all, was talking to Mandy Kishimoto. 1 Mandy was a small girl with long, blonde hair and big, blue eyes. She had a blue bow fastened in her hair like she usually did, and she was talking animatedly to the new girl. The girl, (Samayo, was it?) looked over to where Tea was waving. She smiled and waved back. She said something to Mandy, then ran over. Her black hair flew out behind her.
"Hi, Tea," she said, coming over to where they were sitting. Ryou sat down.
"Samayo, meet Ryou Bakura," Tea said, gesturing to Ryou. Samayo smiled and shook his hand.
"Hi," Samayo said. Ryou smiled back at her. She sat down in Joey's vacated chair. Tea leaned on the desk. She was about to say something, when a yell made her turn around. She rolled her eyes and stalked over to where Joey, Tristan and Duke were fighting.
"Those three..." She murmured, her fists clenched.
"Uh-oh," Ryou said. He shook his head.
"What's wrong?" Samayo asked.
"It's those three. Their friends, but... It's hard to tell whether they really-" Ryou was cut off by a sudden voice in his head.
/Hey... It's her.../
Bakura?
/Hmm? What, you again? Why don't you just leave me alone/
I didn't do anything, Bakura. You spoke to me.
"Ummm, Ryou?" Samayo asked, shaking his shoulder. Ryou shook his head vigorously, blinking. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm okay... Sorry, Samayo," he said, smiling sheepishly. Samayo gave him a quizzical look.
"Well... If you say so..." She looked down at her hands. Ryou watched her face silently.
Joey was right about one thing; she was very pretty. Her long, black hair was slightly curly at the end, and her bangs were short and in a side part. Her eyes were almond-shaped, and her skin was darker then anyone he knew. She looked Egyptian, but her accent... Was somewhat Armenian. It wasn't thick, but it was there. Even though the school uniforms for Domino High weren't anyone's cup of tea, she still looked pretty wearing it. Ryou found himself gazing at her without thinking.
"Ryou?" she said, looking up suddenly. Ryou blinked and gasped, startled. "Did I scare you?"
"No, no, not at all, Samayo," he said, blushing a little. Samayo smiled. She liked him; he was nice, he seemed smart, had cool friends, and he was really, really cute. But there was something in the back of her mind that was bothering her...
When he stopped short in mid-sentence. He just kind of looked like he was in a trance, and she didn't like the way he looked at all. There was also something about him that she didn't like... A lingering far-away feeling that she had harbored for a long time... Samayo looked right at him. His eyes... Something in his eyes... Seemed so strangely familar... A haunting sensation... Her eyes traveled to the Sennen Ring 2 hanging around his neck. She gasped.
"Oh my God..." she whispered, reaching out her hand. "The Sennen Ring... You have it?" Ryou looked down at his precious Ring.
"Yes, I do," he said, lifting it off his chest. "I got it from my father a while ago." Samayo gently traced it's outline with her finger. Her fingertips ran over each pointer, then the Eye of Horus in the center, carved into the golden Item.
"It's... It's so beautiful, isn't it?" She said.
"I guess so." Knowing it's secret tarnished it in Ryou's eyes. He wondered if Bakura knew something about this girl. Samayo gazed at the Ring. "What do you know about the Ring?" he asked. Samayo smiled.
"Well, I'm not sure if this is something to be proud of, but-" The teacher coughed loudly. Miss Kokoronokinsen waited for silence.
"I'll tell you later," she whispered, standing up. She was sitting in someone's seat. She stood up and walked to the front of the room.
Joey slid into his seat next to Ryou. He winked at him. Ryou rolled his eyes for a response.
"Okay, everyone, we have a new student today. Her name is Samayo Alluige, and she comes to us from Hokkaido..."
/Zamiya.../
Ryou opened his eyes wearily. He was lying on his side, using his arm as a pillow. His blanket was twisted as it usually wound up to be. He straightened it out and looked at his clock. It read one o'clock in the morning.
"Ummmm... Yami?" Ryou said sleepily, closing his eyes. "What's wrong?"
/Excuse me/
"You just said something."
/I did not/
"Yes you did. You said something like 'Zamiya' or something..."
/Zamiya! What the hell are you babbling about/ But Ryou was already semi-conscious. He could hardly could hear Bakura speaking to him anymore.
/Ryou! Oh that bastard... / Bakura frowned and folded his arms in his place inside the Ring. He had no idea what Ryou could have been talking about.
"What was he..." Bakura's train of thought died as he remembered that girl. Samayo, was that her name? Yes, it was...
"Hmmmm... That girl," He said out loud to no one. "She seemed... Familiar in a way. Could she be..." He shook his head. "No, no, she couldn't be. Unless..." He sighed. "Maybe she was. I don't know. She could be a descendant of her... But Zamiya was never pregnant... Wait... was she?"
Ryou woke up once more. Bakura's unsettled thoughts were messing him up.
"Mmmm, Yami? Bakura?" he said.
/WHAT DO YOU WANT/
"Could you stop talking to yourself... I can't sleep when you do that..."
I've tried so hard to tell myself that your gone,
but though you're still with me,
I've been alone all along,
/You're pathetic. Why would I waste my time messing up your sleeping patterns? I have so many better things to do.../ Ryou sighed contentedly. He had had a rough day of school that day, and he wasn't too keen on going to school the next day.
"Please... Just be quiet until morning..."
/Why should I? I'm bored, you useless mortal./
"Well, I'm still alive, and I need to sleep." Ryou was becoming annoyed.
/Sorry, Mr. Me-me-me-I-I-I./
"Mmmm..." Ryou lay against his pillow, the voice of his yami a distant sound in his ears. Slowly, he fell asleep...
Samayo was tied to a stake of some kind, her arms bent behind it, her wrists tied together roughly. Her wrists were bleeding and blood was dripping down her face. Darkness seemed to surround her. Her head hung, her beautiful hair limp and dirty. Footsteps, yells and screams, laughter and voices could be heard in the distance. Her body was bleeding, cut and ripped, as if she had been attacked by an army.
She lifted her head as Ryou approached. Ryou stepped back, surprised and scared at what he saw.
Samayo's eyes were different from the ones he had seen that day. They were thinner, and a different color and they looked…. Hurt. Defeated, in a way.
"Bakura…." She whispered, blood trailing down her chin. Ryou stopped. Bakura? She thought he was his…. His yami!
"Please…. Help me…." She said, her eyes pleading with him. He could feel anger rising in his chest.
"You… Bastards…." He murmured. Wait. Was that his voice? Was that…. Was that even him! Samayo's face became terrified as someone came running towards her. They ran up and began to draw their sword.
"Don't…" she protested weakly. The man slapped her face… Hard.
"Hey! Don't treat her like that!" Ryou protested, but he was already falling, falling into the darkness….
"SAMAYO!" Ryou cried, sitting up. He was breathing hard. He looked around wildly for a moment, then settled back again.
Okay, I'm losing it, he decided. He looked at his bedside table and noticed the Sennen Ring glowing. He picked up the Ring and threw it onto the floor.
"There is something going on here," he said out loud.
/Thank you Captain Obvious./
When you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears,
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears,
and I held your hand through all of these years,
but you still...have...all of me
