DISCLAIMER: I don't own Yu-gi-oh, but I can dream, can't I?
Rain knew she was in that dream again...the dream that was not a dream. She was running down a long dark alley, being pursued by that dark presence which haunted her very soul...she could feel him coming closer, then the arms snagged her. Holding her close to the hard body that came with them...she was caught,
"Please, let go." Rain said, trying hard to sound like she wasn't afraid.
"..."
"Please...I..." She was suddenly turned around, looking straight into his bloodstained chocolate eyes, those tormented, angry eyes seemed to hold her captive far better than his arms ever could. They chilled her to the bone...deeper than that. It was something no human would ever wish to feel...a cold filled with pain, misery and death. Rain shivered in the man's freezing grip. "Let me go..." She wimpered.
At that moment, Rain could have sworn she saw a brief glimpse of something like remorse flash through her captor's eyes, but it was gone fast enough for herr to think that she imagined it.
" I'm sorry my dear." Was all Rain heard from the man, feeling his breath on her neck, before feeling sharp fangs sink into her jugular. (A/N sorry if i spelt that wrong)
Eighteen year old Rain Achenson woke in a cold sweat, sitting up, she wiped her damp, dirty-blonde hair out of her face and shivered as she looked at the time.
" Ugh...Beautiful...This is getting creepy. Same dream, every night, and I always wake up because of the stupid thing at the same time. Always four frickin a.m!" She sighed, getting out of bed. She could never get back to sleep after that nightmare...she couldn't get those haunting eyes out of her head...every time she tried. She still saw them...always there when she closed her eyes. This had started when she had turned eighteen...she figured it was the stress of graduation, starting college, and moving across the world. Yeah, she was Canadian by birth, but had gotten a grad twelve scholarship/ exchange program, that would progress into post secondary...In other words, she wasn't planning on going back to her home country except to visit. At least not anytime soon.
Rain stopped herself from thinking on it too much and decided to busy herself with getting ready for school and making herself some coffee...she instead began to think about how her first day at Domino Highschool would go. She took a look at the uniform she was supposed to wear and shook her head,
"Well, at least I won't be the only one that has to wear that stupid thing...I had no idea that the schools made their girl's uniform so bloody short! And pink too! 'Sheesh...why am I here again? Oh yeah...I asked for it...I've only been in this city for a week...things are so different than back home, I hope I can fit in..."
////Time lapse...beginning of first class////
Rain stood outside the room of her first class, waiting for the teacher to introduce her as she'd been told to do.
"Good morning class, today we have a new exchange student joining us, Rain Achenson. Would you please come in and tell us a bit about yourself?" The teacher beckoned her to enter, and she did as told, standing before the room and feeling oddly like a piece of meat being examined by a pack of wolves. The moment she had entered the room broke out into a fury of whispering.
"Look at her hair...It's blonde! It looks natural."
"I wish I had blue eyes like that..."
"What country is she from again?"
"She's so pale...maybe she's english, Ryo's british and he's pale..."(A/N yeah...japanese name...but I'm keeping the british part.)
It took a moment for the class to quiet down, Rain sighed, then finally spoke.
" Hello, as you've been told my name is Rain Achenson. I am from Canada, If you don't know where it is it's above the United States. It's easy to spot on a map, and it is a beautiful country. Umm...does anyone have any questions?"
A young man with with odd tri-colored reddish, black, and blonde hair raised a hand,
" Hello, um, I'm Yugi Mutou... what part of Canada are you from?"
Rain smiled, "I'm from good old cowtown Alberta...In other words, Calgary! It's a great place, home of the Flames, the best hockey team in the world in my opinion, and the Calgary Stampede!"(A/N don't take offence if you are a fan of another team. Personally, I'm a huge flames fan, but heck, I'm a born Calgarian. So I can't help myself:P)
The class watched her with interest, somewhat amused at her fast change in mood...she'd gone from nervous, to exasperated, to happy, to extremely proud in about ten seconds flat. After the little speech was over, and there were no more questions, though much muttering about these 'flames' Rain was so proud of, the teacher quieted the class and assigned Rain a seat next to a boy with the name of Ryo Bakura, in the back of the class. When Rain sat down, and turned to greet the boy, who had said hello in a soft british voice, her voice caught in her throat. The boy had long, soft white hair and deep brown eyes with a very pale complexion. He was like the angelic, softer version of the creature from her re-occurring dream...and it just couldn't be possible. It felt as though she knew him...Yet she'd never met this boy before.
"H...Hello." She said quietly, in a voice that was almost a whisper.
Well, that's it for chapter one...I don't know why I got this idea, but it appealed to me and I know this was short, and not really a good chapter...but please bare with me. I have a lot of ideas for this fic. and it would be great if I could get other people's input as well, so please review and tell me what you think as this fic progresses. Thankyou!
