Dustbunny: Hmph! Well, this started when someone at suggested Rex and Téa as a couple. I got an idea while thinking about it. That idea somehow metamorphed into this.
Marshmallow: It's actually kind of funny because the Ryuzaki/Anzu relationship here is platonic.
Bunnydust: Yeah, that's real funny. Let's just get on with this.

Stupid rain, thought Ryuzaki as he held his jacket above his head in a vain attempt to shelter himself from the merciless pelting of the icy drops. This could have happened to anyone- but it just had to happen to me.
Around him, stores and restaurants locked up, fearing the rising storm. People scrambled madly about to relieve themselves of the downpour. The only difference between these people and Ryuzaki himself was that these people all seemed to have cars or homes to run to. What did he have? A soaked jacket, tired arms and no idea where he was going. And fear of the storm had come with good reason.
"For the love of-!" he shouted as a sudden, strong wind knocked him off balance.
The wind was growing in strength, enough to throw off even large, strong men. Ryuzaki always had been on the weak and shrimpy side. He stumbled blindly, powerless against the mighty blows the storm dealt. All he could do was hope not to wander into the street.
"Gah!" he yelped and jumped in surprise when he found a pair of lights on him with the added bonus of a blaring car horn. So much for staying out of the street. Now to get back out of it...
After some bit of trial and error the young man was back on the sidewalk. Nearly being run down twice after the first encounter was a definite bruise on his ego. It certainly did not help that up ahead of him, barely visible, was a girl making her way through the horrid weather with considerably more ease than he while carrying something in her arms in addition to her large umbrella.
Ryuzaki took a few minutes to assess the situation. From what he could gather through the sheets of rain the girl was well figured. She had obviously not put much thought into the weather because she wore shorts and a tank top that exposed her midriff. One might wonder why, if she had not cared to dress for the possibility of the storm that she carried the umbrella, but Ryuzaki did not. All he cared was that the umbrella was there and was big enough for the two of them to share. All he had to do was offer to help with her packages.
Taking advantage in a change of direction in the wind, Ryuzaki hurried forward to the inviting shelter of the umbrella- an umbrella that rested above the head of a pretty girl no less. But the wind turned against him once more. As hestrained to avoid being blown back, the wind suddenly picked up in the direction he was going. The unexpected boost, coupled with his speed, sent him rocketing into the girl with the umbrella.
"Hey!" she yelled as she went down, her parcels, now seen to be groceries, scattered before her, her umbrella landing a few feet away with Ryuzaki landing on her back.
The surprised dino-duelist promptly pulled himself off of the stunned girl, worried that she might misunderstand and scream for help. He made his apologies quickly, a flicker of hope still alive that he might partake in the use of the umbrella. Then the girl turned to face him and the flicker died without question. He had just rammed into Yugi's little cheerleader. And she most certainly did not look happy about it.
