Ryou awoke to the hot, bright sun beating down on his body. The sixteen year-old albino's mouth was like the desert ground he awoke on. He looked around a little bit to get a load of his surroundings. "Damn, what's the plan this time spirit?! Why am I here?". Ryou said on his and his darker self's mind link, but received no answer.

A few minutes later he saw a few men that looked like guards dragging a white-haired, tan skinned man with a huge scar on his face, just beneath his eye. He was also tall with some very impressive muscles. He had light violet eyes.

Ryou decided that he would follow them. Ryou stayed good distance behind the guards and the mysterious person behind them. When they stopped it was sunset they were in some kind of area. The guards chained the man ,and put him in a cage.

When the two guards left Ryou went up to the cage to ask some questions. He didn't know why but he was attracted to this man. He leaned in ,and then he heard a familiar voice. "What do you want white woman?"

"I'm not a woman! My name is Ryou!

"You look like one."

"Spirit!"

"What 'Spirit'? Oh, whatever"

"Why are you in here?"

"Because I stole food, now make yourself useful ,and get me out of this retarded ass thing!"

"What's your name?"

"Akefia ,but I prefer to be called Bakura."

Ryou was lost for words his face and body grew hot with rage and hatred. This man was his darker half! He was going to free him alright, Free him and then beat him within an inch of his life! Ryou picked up a rock ,and began beating the lock off. He wanted to scream. He wanted to beat this man, no thing's head in with the rock he was using because of the spirit putting him through practical hell since he had received the millineum ring, and now he had the chance to kill the spirit, but he couldn't do it. That would be on Bakura's level not his.

When Ryou and Akefia escaped the guards looked up.

"This can't be happening" Ryou thought. And away they ran.
