Oh my god. My first actual (original) Yu-Gi-Oh! fic that isn't a one-shot! Smile for Paw-Chan now! ^_^
This is going to be a RyouxOC fic, bu don't worry, there is a good reason for it. And, sorry in advance, I'm horrible at writing relationships, and also this chapter probably sucks. Sorry. It will get better, promise.
"We talk like this..."
'...And think like this.'
This is a mystery thing that Paw-Chan has no name for yet.
Read and enjoy the first chapter of Allure!

She stared at it for another moment, almost like she was debating about keeping it or taking it and throwing it out into the harbor. After a moment, she sighed a bit guiltily and opened the white jewelry box sitting on her vanity and dropped it into the box, closing it and locking it before hiding it underneath the floorboards of her room where it would never be found again.
Or so she hoped.
Chapter One: Stuck Rings and Chipped Bracelets
A girl sighed as she walked the desolate halls of a school. The bell for class had long since rung, yet she wasn't in a classroom yet for the sole reason, she was lost.
The girls' hair was a midnight black color, and her eyes were a deep royal blue. The top part of her hair was pulled back, held by an alligator clip, falling in curls upon the rest of her hair. She wore a standard girls' uniform- a long sleeve pink jacket with white shirt and big blue bow as well as a pleated blue skirt. Her shoes were the standard indoor ones given to you by the school, and her socks were the also standard white knee high socks.
The only thing that wasn't standard about the uniform was the thirteen bracelets on her wrists.
There were six on her left arm, all with different designs and different colored wood. On her right was seven bracelets, all pine wood and lacking a design on the surface. It was almost as if the ones with designs had been specifically crafted by someone, the designs were so intricate. One had dolphins jumping out of the water, maple; another had lotus blossoms, sandalwood.
A black bag hung from her shoulders, a wooden key chain in the shape of a hand mirror hanging from the end of it. It was unpainted, and clicked soundlessly against the bag.
The girl sighed again, her head turning as she stopped and studied the hall.
"'Let's move to Japan!' she says," The girl muttered darkly under her breath as she continued her aimless wandering of the halls, half-hoping a teacher or someone would spot her. "'It'll be fun!' she says, 'They have great schools!' Yeah, great schools to get lost in! I don't even know where Class B is!" Not watching where she was going, the girl noticed the person in front of her too late, and the two teens collided.

Ryou was jolted out of his thoughts as he was knocked to the floor, papers flying to the floor.
"I'm sorry," Were the immediate words to come out of his mouth, and to his surprise, it was what the other person said. He and the other person scrambled to pick up the fallen papers. The effort was in vain as the two knocked into each other once again, papers scattering.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" The other person said, female Ryou could tell by the voice. Ryou lifted his head to actually look at the person he had run into and found that it was really a girl, one with midnight black hair just as long as his, and royal blue eyes. Bracelets adorned both her arms.
"I'm such a klutz!" The girl continued, and went to pick the papers up again, yet when she went to move her right arm; she found that she wasn't able to move it very far. Ryou also found that out, as his head was suddenly jerked forward, and he found the Millennium Ring hanging outside of his uniform instead of underneath. That was weird… Ryou didn't remember pulling the Ring out. In fact, Ryou never wore the Ring outside his clothes- only the spirit did that.
One of the several bracelets that hung on the girls' arms had somehow managed to get itself caught on the Ring, leaving the two stuck.
"Sorry!" The girl apologized, her left arm moving to try and free her bracelet. Ryou's hands moved subconsciously, helping her free it. There was an awkward silence between the two, the only noise was the clinking of the girls' wooden bracelets, and the sound of wood against metal.
Finally the silence was broken by the girl.
"Um, I'm Helena," She introduced herself. "I just moved here from Tokyo…" Helena drifted off, nibbling on her lip. She had never been quite the people person.
The awkward silence returned with vigor as neither kid knew what to say. Finally, after a few minutes of useless clicking of wood against metal, it was broken again.
"I-, well, I'm Ryou. Ryou Bakura." You said a bit awkwardly, and Helena nodded and flashed a smile at him.
"Ryou." She said, testing the name, smiling as she did. "I like it." There was more useless clicking of wood against metal as they tried detaching the bracelet from Ryou's Ring.
"Stupid bracelet." Helena muttered darkly, retracting her hand for a moment to see if Ryou could get it by himself without her help.
His effort was just as useless as their combined one. The only thing Ryou actually succeeded in doing was making a chip in the bracelet.
"I'm sorry," Ryou apologized as they both looked at the chip, but Helena only shook her head.
"No, it's alright." Helena told him. "It was bound to happen sometime." The silence returned as the two continued to try and get the bracelet detached from the Ring.
"Um, why don't you just take the bracelet off?" Ryou asked finally, and Helena smacked her forehead.
"Why didn't I think of that earlier?" Helena berated herself before flashing Ryou a smile. "Great idea." If Helena saw the blush that crept up onto Ryou's face, she ignored it as she grasped the bracelet firmly with her left hand and twisted her wrist a bit to allow it to slip out of it.
The wooden bracelet fell against the Ring, clicking three times before finally clattering to the ground.
Both kids blinked dumbly at the bracelet, similar thoughts running through their heads. The thoughts were the standard, 'Idiot, why didn't you think of that earlier?' thoughts.
Sighing, Helena reached over and scooped up the bracelet, and examined the chip that had been caused by Ryou in his attempt to remove it. Her finger traced the curve delicately, as if she was trying to find something hidden in plain sight.
"I'm sorry," Ryou supplied once again, watching as Helena examined the chip. Helena just shook her head again, and slipped the bracelet back onto her arm.
"Like I said before," Helena flashed another smile, scooping up a handful of papers. "No harm done." Helena straightened the stack of papers and handed them over to Ryou.
Ryou took them, adding them to his stack of papers that he had, and the two stood up.
"I… I should get back to class," Ryou said finally, and Helena nodded. "Bye… Helena." And Ryou was gone.
Helena stood in the hallway, watching Ryou's retreating back until he had disappeared.
"Well," She said half to herself. "He is kinda cute."
It was then she realized that she forgot to ask if he knew how to get to Class B.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Yeah, the chapter title is probably horrible, and I also have no clue whether Ryou was part of Class B or Class A, so we're going to go with Class B until someone corrects me.
And yeah, I was listening to My Chemical Romance when I typed the last part, and I forgot what I was going to originally call Helena, so I just named her after the song Helena by MCR.
So, yeah...
Please Read and Review and tell me what you think!
