Chapter one: The Encounter

"It's raining again; it's starting to get worse then at home in England." Bakura sighed to himself in first period English class.

Just then the door opened and a girl was accompanied by the principal in to the front of the class.

"Class, this is an exchange student from America, her name is Luna. She isn't accustomed to town yet so help her out as much as possible."

Bakura looked up to see a girl with waist length crimson hair and ocean blue eyes looking very uncomfortable, she walked over and sat in an empty seat next to her new white haired classmate. Luna looked over to see Bakura's chocolate brown eyes fixed on her, this made her blush.

"Ano... hi, I'm Luna. You are?" Bakura snapped back into reality, "Oh, hello, I'm Bakura Ryou." "Good to know, I like to know the names of my fans." Luna joked. "Um, fans?" Bakura questioned. "Well you were staring intently at me just now weren't you?" "Oh, I'm sorry about that." Bakura blushed from embarrassment while Luna smiled.

The day went on and the only other time they saw each other was at lunch. Of course Joey and Tristian were showing off and fooling around too much for anyone to even talk to her. After school Bakura saw Luna walking home, only she was heading towards a shady part of town.

"Such an innocent looking girl can't live over that way." he thought. Bakura ran over to her, "Where are you going Luna? Home can't be that way can it?" Bakura asked. "No it's a short cut to get home." Luna said solemnly without looking at her taller classmate. "Don't go that way, you could get hurt." he added. "I know," Luna looked up revealing a black eye that was swollen shut, "they already got me." she finished.

"Oh Ra! Luna are you okay, who did this to you?" the boy panicked. "Yes, I'm fine. Really don't trouble yourself over me." Luna said starting to walk away. "No you don't, you're coming to my house to get help." Bakura grabbed Luna's hand and started to pull her in the direction of his house.

They got to the pathway of Bakura's house and he realized that looked scared to death. "Look, I don't want to hut you and I'm not going to. I just want to help your eye, and make sure your okay. I'm not going to make you though, it's on you from here on out." Bakura started to walk towards his house. Luna smiled and ran up to his door and waited for him to finish getting up there. They walked in and got greeted by Yami Bakura.

"What took you so long? ...And who is this scarlet?" Yami B. asked. "She's not a scarlet, by the way this is my Yami." Bakura said walking off to get some ice. Yami B. glared at the young girl, "What happened to you?" "I saw you." Luna said very bluntly and walked into the living room where Bakura was sitting with some ice. She sat on the couch and put the ice on her eye, Yami Bakura walked in, sat in the chair across the room from Bakura and pouted.

/You didn't even stick up for me just now!/ Yami B. said through mind link. /You're a tomb robber! You don't exactly need my help do you? Besides, I like her./ Bakura sighed.

There was and awkward silence, "So are you two brothers? I mean you look almost exactly the same, except for the hair." Luna finally said. "No, as I said before, he is my Yami." Bakura went on and explained everything from his father sending him the millennium ring to Yugi saving him from the Shadow Realm.

They realized that it was getting late so Luna called her parents to come pick her up. "Thank you for taking care of our daughter." Luna's mother said when she arrived. "Yes, actually we don't get off until late and we don't want her to walking home anymore, so could she stay with you after school until we get off of work? You know since you took such good care of her and I haven't seen her smile like this since she was two." her father said. "DADDY!" Luna shouted in protest and embarrassment. "I don't mind at all sir. I won't let anything happen to her." Bakura smiled.

The thought that he got to protect a cute girl made him more then happy, of course he isn't all too strong... but he was determined to do his best.

Well that's it... I know it was short but that's all I could make do with at the time. Don't worry it'll get better as the story goes on, longer chapies too if I'm lucky. I would love reviews, but if you don't like the story don't tell me, just don't read the other chapters... I didn't make you read it this time and I won't next time.
