For Yami no Hikari's competition, I bring you… The REALLY odd couple
Ryou was walking down the street, looking nowhere in particular, when some thugs ganged up around him. 2 thoughts were circling his head: ' I'm in for it now!' and 'They should have one of those automatic insurance machines.' The thugs then approached and beat the living snot out of him. "Pleasure doin' business with ya', chicken shit!" ' God. I can't let Yami see these bruises, or he'll steal their souls!' He hated them, but not THAT much. As luck would have it, Mai Valentine was walking through the park. She helped him up and asked him, " Are you alright? It looks like they ruffed you up pretty badly." He responded, " Yea, I'm alright…" but suddenly collapsed right on the spot.

Ryou awoke in a nice warm bed with an ice pack on his head. 'Mai must have brought me in her house.' He touched the back of his head, and winced in pain. 'Damn. They hit hard!' Mai then walked in and was happy to see Ryou walking around again. He was staring out an open window, looking at the huge drop down. "Damn! This is huge for a house!" Ryou said. " Well, if you're a champion Duelist, you have a LOT of money to burn," Mai said, placing the tray of tea she'd brought for them. "Huh! Oh, sorry Mai, didn't see you there," he said. "Domo agriato," he continued.
"Don't sweat it. Here, have some tea," she said, handing him a cup. " Thanks. I really haven't been able to be civil lately, because my uncle's been getting drunk again. He can remember where I live, but can't remember his own name," he said, smiling. 'He's really a nice guy,' Mai thought. ' I can't see why anyone would want to hurt him.' "Hey, Mai," he asked, with the smile growing smaller, " did I have a pendant with me when I passed out?" She said, " No, why?" He responded, "Oh, well. He won't hurt them extremely badly." He took a sip of his tea. She asked, " Who?"
"My Yami."
