Chapter 1- Another Day..;A New Girl in Town?

It has been months since the Battle City Tourtament was finished. Yugi saved the world from Yami Mariku's clutches, blah blah..Seto returned to Kaiba Corp. to start his plans on his amusment parks, blah blah.. Oh, and as we didn't expect, Honda got Shizuka....But what is to be of Ryou Bakura? The shy and quiet young man who posseses the Sennen Ring,in which posseses the evil soul within?..That will soon no longer be unknown.....as he meets someone.....A girl...who isn't all that different from him..

In the depths of the shadow realm, an ear piercing scream of pain is echoed through the darkness surrounding.

"Y....Y-Yami...o-onegai..."

"Shizuka ni!!" a sinister female voice shouted,"..You should be used to this by now,hikari. Hueh heh heh..."

"D-Demo.." a lighter, and weaker, female voice replied. She was panting and clutching her right wrist which was bleeding from a clean knife cut. It wasn't too deep but the pain was unbearable. "Please stop!.."

"Pah! You're joking, ne? Hueh heh.." her smirk disappeared and she bent down to the weaker one and slapped her HARD with the back of her right hand

"Ahhh!!" the weaker voice shrieked, shutting her eyes tightly as a red mark covered her right cheek.

"Heh.....You're so pathetic." the stronger one told her. She stayed silent. "I guess I'm through for now.." she smirked,"afterall, you DO start school in a few days..Hueh heh heh heh heh!!!!"

On that note,the darkness around them vanished, along with the sinister female that was with the girl, and the girl was in her room. Her wrist that had been bleeding had stopped bleeding and left a mere scar. But it ached. The girl's cheek was still sore but wasn't red. It had retuned to her normal peachy skin tone. Kneeling on the floor she wept in her hands, hoping someone would hear and comfort her, but no one was there. She lived in her apartment alone.....but not ENTIRELY alone...

In the morning, the young sixteen year old with long, pure white spiked hair arose from his bed and yawned. The sun seeped through the blinds on his window, trying to brighten the room. He stood up and stretched his back, that of which had multiple faint scars on it. He was only wearing light blue pajama pants, no shirt, and his tired morning face. He walked up to the blinds and twisted the handle for them to open, making light from the sun flow into the room. Sheilding his eyes from the rays, Ryou looked out into the city with a blank gaze. "Another new day.." he thought, "...and I can't believe I'm still alive.." Ryou sighed and walked away from the window to get dressed.

Later, he walked out of his complex for his usual weekend morning walk. Ryou had on a light blue tee shirt and dark blue jeans with a dark blue sweat jacket to keep him warm from the mid fall weather. A sad, yet blank expression was painted all over his face as he walked.

"/Ugh...one of your walks, AGAIN? Don't you get sick of these?!/" grumbled Bakura in his soul room. Ryou remained silent. "/Eh? Did you hear me??/"

Ryou ignored him. For at LEAST one day Ryou needed to have quiet. Just quiet. He continued walking down the street, turning towards the far end of the city where not many people had lived in. There....There he could have quiet...He continued on, kicking a pebble as he did so. Other than his footsteps and the pebble clacking on the sidewalk, all was silent. He could hear himself breathe, think....A rare moment for him....Just silence...It was soothing. For once in the week, he felt that he had nothing to worry about. He could just relax. Listen to his footsteps echo down the empty street. Take in deep breaths of the crisp fall air. "Silence is golden," he thought with a bit of a chuckle, "It's a good thing Bakura can not steal silence....at least...this silence.." Ryou took another deep breath and sighed. Silence. How good it could be. It wasn't before long until he heard a scream. A cry for help. Ryou froze at the sound and the pebble he was kicking skipped into a sewage drain. He looked up and around, trying to see where the scream came from as it faded.

"Taaasketeeee!!!!" the voice cried again.

It was closer than before. Ryou nervously looked around for the voice's direction. Someone was in trouble and needed help....or was it a trap? Ryou's ears perked as he heard footsteps from a nearby alleyway. He looked foreward up the sidewalk and waited. The footsteps became louder and louder as the person came closer. Ryou's heart started beating fast. Who could it be?..

"Ahhh!!" a young girl shrieked as she tripped onto the cement. Ryou gasped as he saw her. She sat up, rubbed her upper left arm and hissed in pain.

She was wearing a white long sleeved shirt that clinged to her body, faded black jeans, and scuffed black sneakers. As she looked up at ryou, her hazel green eyes pleaded for him. Her hair was dirty blonde and it cascaded down a little past her shoulders. Her peachy skin was covered with patches of light brown dirt and dust. She panted and stood up shakily.

"Sir!! P-Please help me!.."she begged him. Ryou just gazed at her in astonishment. "Thugs are chasing me! Th-They won't stop and th-they're close behind! Please help me!!"

In the distance, deep laughter and yells were heard. She was right, it was a gang. Random shouts and whistles were also heard. Ones like 'yoooohooo!!' and 'Come here little missy!!' and 'Dammit where'd she go?!'. Upon hearing the gang's voices getting louder,he grabbed her hand and started running down the street.

"What?!" one of the thugs shouted sharply.

"That guy took her, boss!!" another said.

"Get 'em both!!" a bigger and stronger one yelled. With that command, they shouted and ran off after Ryou and the girl.

Ryou guided the girl down the street. She tried to keep up but she had been running so much from before, she was starting to wheeze. The gang was close behind and getting closer. Ryou then made a sharp turn into an alleyway and the girl had almost tripped, but she managed to keep her balance and continue running. The thugs turned into the same alleyway and kept their speed. They were all wearing the color gray. Gray shoes, gray shirts, grey hats, grey teeth (from lack of dental care), dyed streaks of grey in their hair, everything grey. Each thug member had a tattoo on the back of their right hands. The tattoo read: "gurei gyangu" Which obviously translates to "Grey Gang". They kept on running with smirks on their faces and greed in their hearts. Greed for...the girl's body..

"Hurry! They're getting closer!!!" the girl cried.

Ryou grit his teeth and started running faster, tugging on the girl's hand getting her closer to him. The leader of the gang was in front of the whole group. His lips in a smirk, teeth gritting hard, and eyes filled with lust. His big, bulky body, covered in grey clothing, was able to make him run the fastest. He made a grab for the girl but missed.

"That girl is MINE!!!" he growled, making another grab for her. The leader misses again and growls louder.

They continued running down the alleyways. Ryou made many sharp turns as if he memorized each route. The thugs were starting to fall behind giving Ryou and the girl an advantage. "Almost there.." Ryou thought. they made yet another sharp turn and then another one straight into a very little room where garbage cans used to be placed to avoid getting rusted from the rain. There were only two sides to hide but one was visible to the thugs when they would pass by, so Ryou quickly pushed the girl to the other side and leaned up close, pressing his body against her's so she was hidden. The girl gasped and blushed but Ryou whispered to her "Stay quiet.." She nodded slightly in agreement and stayed silent, then closed her eyes tightly. The gang's footsteps became louder and louder until they finally pass the room going down a different alleyway. Once they were out of sound distance, they both sighed in relief and panted. Ryou stepped back from the girl and blushed slightly.

"G-Gomen..Daijobu desu ka?" he asked her shyly.

She nodded. "Hai..Arigatou..Are you sure they're gone?.." she asked tiredly.

"Yes,I'm sure," he replied nodding, "Come, let's get out of these alleyways.."

He walked out of the room and looked around cautiously. The girl stepped out and stood behind him, looking around nervously. Once Ryou made sure no one else was around he guided her out of the alleyways and back to the street where he first saw her. They walked over to a bench and sat down, the girl still panting.

"/Kuku...Who's this,hikari?/" Bakura questioned in his soul room.

" I thought you would be paying attention,yami. " Ryou replied in his mind.

"/Hikari!!/"

Ryou sighed in his mind. " A girl.I do not know her name. "

"/Kuku...Find out./" Bakura said smirking.

Ryou turned to the girl and asked her for her name.

"Danirure..You can call me Dani, though," she replied blushing a bit, "What's your name?"

"Boku wa Bakura Ryou desu.."

"I like your name," she said blushing more. She turned away slightly to hide her red face.

Ryou blushed slightly as well but shook it off.

"A-Arigatou," he replied,"Anou...Why were those thugs chasing you?.."

Dani's eyes widened for a moment but she looked away. "....No one can know.." she thought to herself.

"I....I was just taking a walk..and they appeared..." she told him. Then she looked down at the ground but glanced back up at him with a small smile, "....They would have gotten me....if you hadn't have come....Thank you so much.."

"Do itamashite," he said blushing a bit. He then stood up, "I should walk you home. Just to make sure the thugs aren't around.."

Dani blinked but nodded and stood up. Ryou started walking her back to her house, following her directions to where it was. They were both pretty quiet but Dani thought of a topic.

"Ryou-san, which school do you go to?" she asked, rubbing her right wrist.

"Domino High."

Her eyes widened along with a smile, "Honto ni??" Ryou nodded. "That's where I'll be going tomorrow."

Ryou kept a blank expression. All he did was nod and say, "That's good. I'm sure you'll like it there.."

They finally reached her apartment complex. Dani then turned to him and bowed while saying another "arigatou". when she stood back up she smiled at him but rubbed her right wrist. He smiled back slightly saying another "Do itamashite." But then he noticed her rubbing her wrist and saw a faint scar across it. It made him wonder, "Does she..cut herself?" Ryou shook it off and turned away starting to leave.

"Ja mate ne!" she said waving. he replied a simple "ja" without looking back.

Dani walked back inside her complex and into the elevator to her apartment. "He was so nice.." she thought while the elevator brought her slowly up the building, "But a shy person..pretty quiet..I wonder if he has any friends....If he doesn't...I'll be his friend," she smiled to herself. Her smile faded when she started rubbing her right wrist again. The sleeve was bothering her so she rolled it up so it didn't cover the faint scar. She rubbed it hoping he aching pain would go away but to no avail. Dani sighed and rolled her sleeve back down as the elevator came to a stop and opened its doors. She walked out down the hall to her apartment, pulled out the kep from her pocket, unlocked the door and went inside silently. "Just another day.." she thought, "and I can't believe I'm still alive..."
