I'm posting this by the request of my loyal reviewer: Aqua girl 007!

I hope it's well-received and read!

Bakura Is…

"Ryo, are you sure you have everything packed?" a girl with long white hair and blue eyes asked as she stepped into her sibling's room.

The boy straightened up and turned his eyes, also blue, to his sister. His blue uniform covered him from the neck down and he wore black dress shoes. He pushed his long spiky white hair out of his face as he replied, "Yes I am."

"Are you sure you can handle living by yourself until you finish high school? I can always come with you."

"I'm fine, Kisara. You don't have to worry about me so much."

"I worry because I'm your big sister and you're off to another school by yourself! Why can't you stay here and attend the high school I went to?"

"Dad always said he wanted me to go see his hometown before he died. I want to do that for him."

"But for you to go in that—"

He put his hands on her shoulders and smiled as he spoke gently. "Kisara, please relax. This is how I want it. I want you to send me off with a smile and some encouragement. Could you do that for me?"

Kisara sighed, but nodded. "Sure. I'll miss you a lot and write you every week. I want a call on every holiday, got me?"

Ryo nodded and hugged his sister before they heard the beep of the taxi driver who'd come to pick him up to take him to the airport. He grinned at her, picked up his luggage, and was gone in a flash.

The plane landed twelve hours later in the international Narita Airport outside of Tokyo. He was exhausted and needed to sleep, but he dragged himself through the airport, picked up his bags, boarded a bus to the train station, and then purchased a ticket to Domino, plopping himself onto the chair and looked out the window at the sunlight. He watched the scenery flash by and when his stop was announced, he got off the train and hailed a taxi, which took him to his apartment. He carried his luggage to the apartment on the first floor and knocked.

The landlady opened the door and smiled tiredly. "Bakura-san, here at last. Your apartment is on the third floor, here are your key and the rules of the complex, along with your mailbox number. I hope you enjoy your stay here in Domino."

He nodded and bowed. "Thanks, Okami-san. I'll go get settled then crash, it's almost twenty-three hundred."

She bowed back, although there was a confused look on her face. "What a kind young man you are. Good night, Bakura-san."

He lugged his bags up to the third floor and let himself in, slipping off his shoes and stepping inside. He turned the light switch to the main room, which was full of boxes that contained all his personal possessions, furniture and appliances. He merely got out the futon, blanket and pillow from the closet in the bedroom, put them on the floor and collapsed, instantly asleep.

Someone's suffering from jet lag... lol

As you can tell by Kisara's presence, this is a partial-AU fic. It's based of the manga, but not so much that it'll follow the storyline like my last fics, in fact, don't count on anything here, because I'm just having fun with this and I hope you do too!

Please review!
