Author's Note: You guys must be seriously annoyed with me by now. But I had this idea in my head and I told it to a friend. She held me at gun-point till I wrote it. Now, she's making me post the damn thing. Sorry.

Sent Down: Reincarnation

Chapter 1

Ryou was sitting patiently at his desk, waiting for school to start. His fellow classmates, particularly the guys, were a little more talkative than usual. He attempted to listen in a conversation and picked out the words 'new student'. Judging from the way the guys were acting, this new student was probably a girl. Ryou prayed silently that it wasn't another crazed fangirl.

Ryou felt the damned spirit stir. Why couldn't the Millennium Ring just stay lost at Duelist Kingdom?! He sighed. We'll he couldn't really get rid of it. His father did give it to him, after all. Actually, the spirit had been fairly quiet since the tournament. It was nice to think that he had no plans to kill Yugi…yet. He looked over at his friends. Tea was talking ecstatically about something. Then Joey walked over and patted Ryou on the back.

"Hey Ryou. Mornin! You were so quiet, I hardly noticed ya!" Joey chatted in his Brooklyn accent.

"Oh, hello, Joey. What's Tea so excited about?" Ryou smiled kindly.

"She just found out some more details about our new student. Her name is Sanura. And I heard she's real pretty!" Joey had that cheesy smile of his plastered on his face.

Ryou actually heard his other half gasp. He could feel it; Bakura was about to take over. But he didn't seem vicious. No, he seemed anxious. Like a child waiting for a piece of candy. He had to resist, he had no choice but to resist. The surprising thing was that Bakura backed off the first time. He wasn't being his normal, forceful self.

"You ok man? You looked like you were having a hernia." Joey asked concerned. Then he noticed a small string tucked inside Ryou's jacket. A necklace probably…wait, necklace? Oh, crap. Not that infamous, shiny piece of…

"I'm fine…really." Ryou forced a smile.

The bell rang. Thank God. The teacher walked in with a smile on his face…like always. But this time, it was different. A young girl trailed in behind him. Both hands were gripping her backpack. She seemed shy but nervous.

"Class, you have probably already heard that we have a new student. This is Sanura Osim. Sanura, there's an empty seat next to Yugi Moto." The teacher introduced happily.

Yugi waved his hand slightly. Sanura smiled and walked over to her desk, trying to avoid the other students' eyes. She sat down and immediately took out a pencil and some paper. She was about to write down the assignment on the board, when a small, folded piece of paper landed on her desk. She looked up to see Yugi's smiling face. He turned back around to start on the day's work. Sanura opened the note and read it.

'Hey! Would you like to have lunch with me? You can meet all my friends. They're all really friendly. Then, maybe, we can all do something later.' Sanura folded the piece of paper back up again and handed it back to Yugi. She nodded and Yugi smiled…again.

'Oh, Ra. I didn't think it was possible. She went to heaven, how did she get reincarnated? But…she's here! She's within my grasp! I have got to talk to her! Maybe she remembers me. I remember her. I just hope that she didn't lose her memory like the Pharaoh did. But, my gods, is she beautiful!'

Ryou looked up from his work. He heard that. He heard his yami saying that someone from his class was beautiful. He wasn't sure if he should be happy or scared. Ryou didn't know much about the spirit, other than the fact that he loved to see someone bleed. And that fact made Ryou worry.

'Let me out.'

"No."

'Let me out!'

"No!"

As defiant as Ryou was being, he was still very confused and surprised that Bakura was listening…somewhat. It was lunchtime now, and the gang was asking Sanura a ton of questions. Ryou felt a little sorry for her, she seemed a little embarrassed.

"What are your interests?" Yugi asked.

"Um…cooking, volunteering with animals and children and…reading." Sanura responded quietly.

"Yes! Food! Can you make me something?" Joey asked.

"Joey!" Tea slapped the blonde upside the head.

'That sounds like the Sanura I know.' Bakura thought.

"What kind of books do you read?" Tristan asked.

"Mostly books on Egypt. I love ancient history." Sanura perked up a little.

"Really? We know a ton about Egypt!" Yugi exclaimed.

Joey and Tristan gave a sideways glance to each other and they tried to hold back their laughter.

'Ryou let me talk to her!' Bakura begged.

"No!" Ryou was starting to get very tense but no one was noticing.

'Sanura's favorite color is red. Ask her what her favorite color is!' The spirit was getting very anxious.

The boy sighed. "Hey, Sanura, um…what's your favorite color?"

Everyone was a little surprised that Ryou had spoken. He had been very quiet.

"Red." She smiled.

'See, I told you. Now, let me out so I can talk to her.' Bakura snorted.

Ryou didn't respond. He was actually surprised that Bakura knew that. Maybe he knew her from somewhere and that's how he knows. Or maybe it was a lucky guess. He just kept on eating his sandwich and listening to his friends' conversations.
