Ok this series is a Yami Bakura/Ryou Bakura series. NO NOT YAOI! It is between my own character Iris and those two sexy men ^_^'

So if you don't like it sorry. But I am getting tired of all the yaoi. Its time we get some decent non-yaoi stories.

Anyways I hope you enjoy because this is my second series and I'm trying different things.

Character info:

Name: Iris Nevaeh

Age: 18

Time frame: Senior year for all the characters. Also right before Duelist City.

Physical: Long soft pink ringlet hair, with baby blue eyes. Her skin is the same color as Marik's and she is 5' 5". She has tons of curves but never shows them.

Dress: She always wears jeans with cute hoddies, long skirts, or long dresses. She loves the big poofy summer dresses.

Personality: She is very intelligent as well as very shy. She has the cute, innocent spirit. However she can be very dark and is secretly depressed a majority of the time. None of her friends really know much about her and she tries to keep it that way.

History: Iris lived in Egypt for the majority of her life. Her father was a British archaeology journalist and he met her mother in Egypt during a tour. She was one of the guides and gave the history of Ancient Egypt. She had mentioned a pharaoh and priest, as well as a thief. Of duels with monsters, she had said things about Egypt that no one had heard. So of course everyone made fun of her, laughed at her, claimed she did it just for publicity. But deep down in his heart he had believed her. After the tour he asked her to dinner and they sat under the starry night as they ate fresh fruits. He felt a strange connection to this woman, he tried sating his curiosity by asking her about the stories. At first she didn't say anything, believing he would only mock her. But she told him everything she knew and he believed it all. They continued dating for the rest of his stay in Egypt, she had become pregnant a month before he had to leave. He begged her to come with him but she refused explaining that she could never leave her homeland. On his last day she planned a big surprise for him. She was going to take him into the forbidden zones. Holding his hand she tugged him forward leading him down to a temple buried within the pyramid. He was in awe of it all. The carvings….and the tablets with monsters. She had been right, and he was so glad he had believed her. Then further ahead gleamed something of gold, they walked to shimmering objects. And there in a huge slab, which looked like a tomb lay golden objects. They were in weird shapes…each placed over the proper body part. What a strange pharaoh, why add more décor to his tomb? He took pictures, he would never publish but he wanted to cherish the memories. She got closer to the tomb and seemed dazed, almost controlled, and ran her finger across the tomb. Something flashed brilliantly and she stepped back. Instantly a light was shot from the tomb straight at her… straight at their child. It flashed stronger and brighter. He went to pull her away but a voice spoke to him.

"Do not remove her. This was the intention of the Gods. No harm shall come to the child…for now."

He looked to the voice, a man appeared, a key/ankh draped around his neck.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Shadi, and I bring no harm. My only wish is to see fate unfold itself. And tonight it is, so do not interfere."

He turned from Shadi to look at his love, the light finally dimmed and she fell to her knees clutching her stomach, she began to faint and he caught her just in time.

At the hospital they found nothing wrong with her but kept her in for the night…but that morning he had to leave. He did not wish it but it was his duty. She told him it would be alright and that they would always be in contact. The next time he had seen her was the day their daughter, Iris was born. She was the most beautiful child he had ever seen and he was instantly in love with her. He left after a few months and returned once a year to see his love and their daughter.

18 years later:

The years had gone by and his daughter had grown so much, her beauty mirrored her mothers. He looked forward to seeing her again this summer. He picked up their last family photo. Sitting by the phone waiting for his daughter to call him….the time ticked off the clock and he dozed off. Waking up he saw it was 3 hours later. Worried he missed her call he picked up his phone…no missed calls. Something was wrong. He picked up the phone and called his daughter…she answered…she sounded horrid.

"what's wrong? Are you okay? Where's your mother?"

Silence.

"Iris?"

"Dad…daddy…mom is dead…she's been murdered….dad….please come home."

Again silence…not just in sound but in his heart, his mind…his soul. She couldn't be gone, the love of his life…but his daughter…his daughter was ok?

"Are…are you ok Iris? Are you harmed? Yes..yes I'll come home and get you."

"I'm…I'm fine dad….but mom…mom…she's gone."

She began to cry on the phone and that broke him too. He ordered tickets quickly while he listened to her cry. He had to leave immediately but he didn't want to hang up.

Current:

He had decided to ask Iris where she wanted to live…but he would not live in Egypt, there were too many memories. To his surprise she choose Japan. She understood that he would never be home due to work so he bought a two bedroom house in the country area outside of Domino city. Today was her first day of her senior year at high school and also his day to leave for a 3 month writing assignment. He kissed her good bye as she left and wished her luck. He had faith in her and knew she was a good girl. He packed his remaining gear and then left a present on her bed and left.

Iris POV:

Walking to the garage I find the new moped dad had gotten me. It was a dark metallic green and I loved it. I get on it and speed my way to school constantly rechecking the GPS. Domino High. Should be a breeze, she could speak Arabic and English. And Arabic was the root to a lot of math. She loved learning new things, and couldn't wait to meet new people. She smiled to herself as she felt her hair blow around her.

What new things awaited her….the past was hard…only 2 months before her mother had died…but it was time to suck up her tears….she loved her mother but her mother had told her things happened for a reason and to never think about them too long. She could never forget her mother she would always guide her. She fought back more tears and decided it was time to officially start a new chapter in her life. She wanted to be happy…even if she didn't really feel it….so she plastered a smile on her face and told herself never to remove it. No matter the pain…no matter the loneliness.

It was time to become someone she wanted to be….
