Hi guys! I'm back with chapter 2! I want to thank all of my reviewers, you're the reason I'm continuing this story! It stinks, I can come up with a good plot in my head, but I can never quite write it very well! I'm an awful writer! XD
Bakura: "You got that right! Why did you make me go all sappy over some lame sister? She's probably just dead anyway!"
Tara: "You never know 'Kura…"
Disclaimer: Naw, I don't own Yugioh or any of its fasinating characters. Trust me, if I did, the plot of Yugioh would be A LOT different! LOL
Anywhoo, on with the story!
Bakura awoke from his sleep when a strong blue light engulfed him. The light was so blinding; what could cause such a light in the middle of a desert? Finally the light subsided, and he was met with the piercing blue eyes of a blue eyes white dragon. Bakura knew from stories that the dragon only came to defend innocent people and destroy all of their offenders.
In a panic, Bakura frantically hid behind one of the large boulders in the cave. What was he going to do? He was just face to face with Blue Eyes! What surprised him, was the fact that the dragon didn't make any move to attack him. In fact, other than scaring him out of his mind, the dragon had really posed no threat to him.
Suddenly, light clouded his eyes again, and from it emerged one of the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen. She was dressed like a peasant, and had long, white hair with a tint of blue to it. So the legends his sister used to tell him were true; blue eyes walked as a human being.
He stepped out from behind the boulder and eyed her cautiously. Why did she choose to appear before him? Was it because he was a thief? She walked towards him slowly, causing Bakura to shrink back against one of the walls of the cave.
She smiled at him and said, "There is no reason to be afraid; I must speak to you… this is urgent…"

Ryou walked into his empty house and lazily dropped his backpack to the ground. It had been a tiring day at school, and to make matters worse, he was going to have to pay that bully Ushio (AN: He showed up in season one of Yugioh!) a lot of money if he wasn't to get beat up again. He had learned the hard way last week, and Ryou was sure that if he didn't have the money this time, Ushio would kill him.
The week had been depressing for the young albino; not only was he getting beat up every day, but Yugi and all of his friends have been acting a bit distant from him as well. They didn't even bother to talk to poor Ryou anymore. It was as if they had forgotten them; as if he was meaningless to them in the first place.
Ryou sighed and looked down at the mail he had just picked up. Ryou flipped through the envelopes and saw that one was from Egypt, causing Ryou to smile. His father was a skilled archeologist and traveled to Egypt frequently. Even though his father was gone most of the time, Ryou looked up to him. He wished he would become successful like him when he got older.
Ryou had been living alone for quite some time. His mother and sister had died when he was eight years old, and his father was out on digs most of the time. Ryou struggled to remember what it was that his father went to Egypt to find. He then recalled him mentioning some sort of ring… a millenium ring.
Ryou figured that it probably looked a lot like the one Yugi had. He told Ryou that his grandfather found it at a dig, but it was actual puzzle pieces at the time. It took Yugi years to finally complete it. Ryou wished he could talk to Yugi like he used to.
This brought back more unpleasant memories from the week. Ryou had finally gotten the guts to ask out his long time crush, Tea (AN: Anzu in the Japanese version) and had been harshly rejected…
"Eww! Why would I ever go out with someone like you?! You're albino and WAY to quiet to ever be my boyfriend. Besides, you're not exactly good looking. Face it Ryou, no one would ever want to go out with you!"
Those words cut into Ryou like a thousand needles. He was ugly… albino! For gods sakes, he had to wear brown contacts to cover up his pink eyes (AN: Albinos have pink eyes) just so he wouldn't be made fun of.
Ryou felt the tears welling up in his eyes, but willed them not to fall. Ryou had to be strong. For what? Ryou wasn't sure anymore…
He shook his head of all of these saddening thoughts, and opened up the letter. The words that he saw on the page shook Ryou down to the very core of his soul. He dropped the note to the floor.
Mr. Bakura,
There has been an accident and we are sorry to say that your father has died at the excavation.

"Who are you?" Bakura asked. It was a stupid question really, it was quite obvious that she was blue eyes.
"My name is Kisara. I am the legendary Blue Eyes White Dragon." Bakura shook his head in disbelief. There was no way that someone like the woman in front of him could be Blue Eyes… no way!
"It's true… I am Blue Eyes. Bakura, you have committed many sins in your lifetime. You have stolen and murdered countless people. You should have to face your judgment now…"
Bakura got on his hands and knees before her, "No! PLEASE! I beg of you! Forgive me!"
"But… I have decided to give you a second chance… a second chance at happiness. Bakura I understand that you're a man who is fond of power?"
"Y- yes…"
"I shall give you that power. But if you are to atone for your sins, I'm going to have to send you to a different time… a much different time than ours… You will be given a new body and I shall bestow on you power."
Bakura considered this for a minute. He would have to go to a different time period, how would he survive? Would he have to steal again? Then again, she said that she would give him power and Bakura has always yearned for power.
"Sure, why not? I'll do it."
"That's not all though Bakura. There is a boy… a boy you are destined to meet. He needs you… You must protect him. And as for your sister… if you play your cards right, you might end up seeing her as well."
Bakura liked the sound of that. He could put up with some boy. How hard could it be? And, he'd be able to see his sister again. He couldn't believe his luck. Then, a problem stuck out against all others…
"But how will I be able to find the kid? How will I know who he is or what he looks like?"
Kisara smiled at him, "The ring will guide you… it will show you the way."
Bakura raised an eyebrow in confusion at her. "The ring? What the hell are you talking about?!"
"You'll see soon enough. Farewell Bakura."
"Wait-" There was a blinding flash again, and Bakura blacked out.

Ryou fell to the floor and wept. His father… dead? No, it couldn't have happened… in a few months, his father would be walking into the door smiling like always. No… he couldn't… he couldn't be gone!
Ryou curled up in a ball. He wish he could do that for the rest of his life; just curl up and die. He didn't think that he could take any more pain. Ryou was only fifteen years old… would he have to be adopted? Ryou wasn't really sure how much family he had left.
All Ryou knew was that he was helplessly, forever alone. Ryou couldn't bear that thought. He couldn't bear sleeping in pure darkness at night, how would he make it alone? Ryou shook his head. Why couldn't he have a normal life… Why couldn't he be like Yugi? Yugi was never alone, he had his grandfather and friends that would support him no matter what happened.
Who did Ryou have? Himself… that was all he had. No more would he have a letter or phone call to look forward to… that's what had always kept him going; his father and his friends. Without them, what was the point? What was the point of going on? It's not like anyone would miss him or even realize that he was gone in the first place.
Why should he continue life if all it was going to bring him was pain. Maybe that's all that life was, never-ending pain. Sometimes, the good things in life would outweigh the bad, and that pain becomes hardly noticable for a while. But it's always there… Maybe it just wasn't in the human nature to be unhappy… Unless you're someone like Yugi or Tea that is… No matter what hardships life threw at them, they would take the fall, and stand up again stonger than ever.
Ryou knew that he was not like that… he knew that he could never be like that. He didn't deserve to be happy in life. All he was was a burden to everyone around him, everyone he met. They would always give him pitying glances while he got beat up relentlessly day after day. But never did they once actually stop and try to help him for a change.
And if they bumped into Ryou into the halls and caused him to drop his books. They wouldn't help him, they didn't even look his way. It just goes to show how unimportant he was. To Ryou, he felt that he was the lowest of scum… he didn't deserve happiness; he didn't deserve friends…
Ryou walked shakily into the bathroom with a grim look on his face. There was no more happiness, no more sadness in his eyes anymore. He was like a corpse, devoid of any emotion anymore. Ryou pulled the razor out of the cabinet and stared at it.
Would it hurt? Would he end up stopping himself? Ryou really didn't care. He held his wrist out on top of the sink, and cut as deep as he could. He hissed in pain as the ruby red blood washed over his hand and into the sink. Ryou was captivated about how the color of his blood contrasted with the paleness of his skin.
So, he cut again, and again. And before long, he forgot all about his worries. All he could feel was sweet pain.

The first thing that Bakura felt was cold. A cold that froze him to the very bone. He then began realize that it was raining and that he was laying on something hard.
He slowly opened his eyes and surveyed his surroundings. He was… in a whole different world it seemed like. There were flashing lights everywhere, and moving things on black surfaces. (AN: Cars cough cough) Bakura suddenly started to reconsider everything that had happened to him.
The rain then pelted down on him even stronger and looked up at the dark sky, cursing it for bringing him such terrible luck. First thing first, he had to find the boy. He had to track him down with some… ring of some sort. Bakura looked at his hands and growled once he realized that that bitch lied to him; he wasn't wearing any rings.
Suddenly, he felt something pulling him in a different direction, and looked down to see a weird golden necklace that was attached with a thin rope. It was pointing him in some random direction. He concluded that this was the ring. He followed it in the direction it was pointing. Ha! This was going to be a piece of cake! He would soon find this boy, and gain all of the power he could have ever wanted!
Whew! Hope this chapter's a little bit longer than the last one! XD I'm trying! Oh, and I finally got a laptop and it doesn't freeze as much as my computer does, so I'll be able to update a bit faster. YAY! I gots lots of my ideas in my head, so please don't give up on me yet! XD Anywhoo, please review and tell me if ya'll like it so far! C'mon! Please?! We have cookies!! LOL
