Bakura: What? I think she's funny. Can we keep her?

Ryou: NO! I mena okay, on with the story…

'This is the eighteenth body this month and the body count is getting higher by the day. Police have absolutely no suspects and the people that have died have nothing in common. We suggest that everyone stays home at night and locks their doors while the police do every thing in their power to protect the people of Japan and stop these killers. People of Domino, beware.' Ryou switched of the TV. and sighed. He finally found out what that sound was that had waken him up at Yuugi's was. It was a gunshot. He was sure of it.

This time the victim of the killer, or even killers, was an emo teenager named Bonz. Ryou met him once before but he didn't say much except 'um, hey.' to Ryou. Now he was dead. It made Ryou sick to just look at the picture on the TV of what Bonz looked like when someone finally found his corpse. It was ghastly. Blood covered his whole entire body, and his left eye was missing. He had two bullet wounds, which the autopsy showed was what has killed him. His arm was twisted at an awkward angle and skin was carefully carved of most of his body. And his eye was still open, as if he was trying to get one last glimpse of the murderer before he left this world. It was as if the killer or killers took a knife and cut him up purposely for the shock of others. This time it was one of Ryou's acquaintances, who would it be next? Would it be someone he knew and cared for? Or would it be someone who he never even met? No matter which it is, no one deserves to die like that. Ryou shivered at the thought.

'Boy, I hope they find the killer. I don't want anyone else to get hurt. Especially those close to me. I don't know what I would do if I found out that Yuugi or Malik had been murdered. I have already lost Amane and my mother and I can't lose them too!' Ryou felt his face become hot and a tear trickled down his cheek at the thought of his sister and mother who had died in a car crash when he was eight. Then his dad had become distant and now he almost never came home, so Ryou was stuck living by himself in an apartment in central Domino. He had moved there from Britain with his father when he was thirteen. Now he was seventeen and it was the beginning of eleventh grade. And, quite frankly, Ryou couldn't stand losing anyone else close to him. Yuugi and Malik were the only ones that Ryou cared about left. All he was at school was picked on bullies or neglected by the other kids. But, Ryou was very popular with the girls at school. He was often asked out by them. But Ryou wasn't interested in a relationship right now. He had much more important thing on his mind. Like whom the killer was going to strike next.

So Ryou shook of the thought and wiped away his tears and went to get ready for school. He buttoned up his school jacket and slipped on his school pants and went to brush his hair. People often picked on him for having such unusual white hair. Not to mention that it trailed down to the bottom of his shoulder blades. But other than that, Ryou was a very cute kid. He had chocolate brown eyes that when he gave you that innocent look, could melt the coldest of hearts. He had an ever so slight accent from when he moved to Japan from Britain and still speaks in the faintest accent possible. Ryou was also very smart and was a top student in almost every class, except Gym. The gym teacher usually teased Ryou because of his looks and called him a "she-male" much to Ryou's disgust. But no one liked the gym teacher but the jocks anyway.

So then Ryou went to school and his mind was again refreshed on what happened to Bonz and the worry came back yet again.

It was lunch time at Domino high. Ryou got a tray and then sat next to Jou at the lunch table. Jou and Honda were fighting over a piece of chicken and Anzu was just sitting there shaking her head back and forth at the two bickering over the piece of poultry. Ryou never liked Anzu much because she seemed like she never liked anyone that was different or didn't act or look the same as others. Naturally Ryou suspected that she didn't like him. Jou was always hungry. He never seemed to get enough food in his stomach. It was a wonder that the boy was not ten times his current size, for he seemed to eat his weight in food every day. His fluffy blonde hair was probably shaggy enough that you could hide anything in it. He was a dense boy, with a very hard time comprehending things. His coffee brown eyes seemed to flash when he got angry, which was most of the time when Seto was around. Said tall teenager then strode into the lunchroom and promptly sat down next to Yuugi, who had just been tuning out this whole time and finally came back to the present and looked at the tall brunette next to him.

"Oh, hi Seto," Yuugi sighed picking at the slop that the school called food. Seto took out a large lunch and started to eat his rather expensive meal. Since Seto was the head off a very prosperous company, making him, and hiss little brother, Mokuba, filthy rich.

"Hello Yuugi, is everything okay? You look sad," Seto asked in the gruff, I-don't-really-care-but-will-ask-anyway voice that the tall teenager had acquired after years of endless bickering with Jou and yelling at countless staff for stupid mistakes. Ryou had gotten the sense that no one remembered that he was here, as always. He sighed at the thought. Malik didn't go to school, for according to him school was a waste of time, and Yuugi had tons of other friends so most of the time he was left out.

'Well, you can't have everything you want' Ryou thought. 'I should be thankful for what I have, not grieving over what I don't.' Ryou sighed again as Otogi came over and took the poultry that the two other teenagers were fighting over still and plopped it in his mouth making both Honda and Jou stare as he downed the chicken and sat down next to Honda. His black hair was held up in a pony tail and his green eyes would attract any single or even taken girl within a mile and a half. He laughed at the looks that he got from his sudden appearance that Jou and Honda gave, while Ryou saw it coming all along. Then the bell ran and lunch was over. Ryou deposited the rest of his food into the trash bin and hurried to class before he ran into the school bully, Ushio, and got his daily beating from him.
