Chapter 14

I am extremely sorry for the late update. You see last month I thought of doing a big update on the 23 of August, because my birthday is on that day, so my gift to the readers; a big chapter.

Adam Infinite. A blond haired man, with blue eyes. He was tall and fairly built.

"Dad!"Adrianne and Alex exclaimed.

"What are you doing here?"Adrianne said.

"Can't I come and visit a building my company owns."

"O-okay." They said at the exact same time, than glared at each other.

"When will you're rivalry stop?"Adam asked.

"…"

"They have always been like that?"Joey asked.

"Yeah."Adam said.

"With what your saying about being unbeatable at games. Why don't you show me?"Adam asked.

"Sure."Yugi replied.

One game later

"Yup she is unbeatable."Adam said.

"Now you two have to go home and do your homework."

"Bu-

"No, you two have been falling back on your work at your last school. The same thing won't happen again." He said with a glare.

"Hmph."

"We'll see you guys tomorrow."Adrianne said.

"Hn."Alex said.

"Okay… It's getting late. We should go home."Yugi said.

"Alright see you guys tomorrow."Ryou said.

"See ya."Joey said.

Seto just grunts and walks off to his car with Yami behind him. Meredith just waves.

"Yugi can I walk you home?"Lucas asked.

"You don't have too."

"Please."

"Alright.

One walk later

"Thanks for walking me home Lucas."Yugi said.

"No problem."

Then he did something unexpected. He kissed he cheek, then ran off, while leaving a blushing Yugi.

'Why did he do that? Does he like me? No that can't be it… Argh, this is so confusing.'

She just pushed it aside for now.

'She's just too innocent.' Someone thought.

Time Skip: A few hours later Normal P.O.V

With Ryou

It was late at night. Ryou just finished the homework she was doing and now she was going to bed. Ryou lived alone in a four bedroom apartment. Her father was never home. He was always traveling. He's an archeologist.

Ever since her sister and mother's death, he couldn't bring himself to see Ryou. So he just worked away. Ever since her mother and sister's death she has only saw him three times. Sometimes he sends gifts. Such as the ring.

For Ryou she was a little hurt, but she understood. From her memory and photos she could tell that she looked a lot like her mother. In her apartment there were two rooms out four that were never opened. One was her sisters and the other was her parents. Her father insisted that her sister's room is never to be opened. The other Ryou just left closed. It brings her too much pain from opening it.

Ryou was looking at the millennium ring. She was currently lying down on her bed. She was really trapped in thought. She always wondered what it was for. Now she's thinking about the ring and puzzle. They looked so alike yet different. There must be a connection. Than what Malik said. (A/N: I'm changing Marik to Malik now. It just fits better.) She said that she had a rod that looked like the puzzle and ring.

Ring! Ring!

Ryou was brought out of her thoughts when her cell phone rang. She saw that it was Malik calling. 'Why would she call this late at night?' she thought. "Hey Malik," Ryou said.

"Hey Ryou, what are you doing?"

"Nothing much. Why?"

"I'm just bored."

"Anyways remember you told me about that rod you have that looks like Yugi's puzzle."

"Yeah. What about it?"

"Can you send me a picture of it?"

"Sure. Why?"

"Curiosity."

Beep!

The picture came and Ryou was shocked. She was right. It look a lot like the puzzle and ring.

"Wow, you were right." Ryou said.

"Anyways, I'll see you tomorrow."Malik said.

"Bye."

"G'night."

'If the Ring, puzzle and rod all look alike then there has to be some sort of connection. I wonder what it is?'

While she was thinking she brought out the ring and put it on. She doesn't know why, but she feels safer when she wears it. It's like a source of protection. But then again she feels so incomplete. Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

Knock! Knock!

When she went to answer it a person fell on her. It was a boy about sixteen, with silver hair. He was wearing a black sports jacket and black jeans. The jacket had blood on, a lot of blood. He was barely conscious.

"Bakura!"Ryou said.

"Kit-." He was now unconscious.

Immediately Ryou takes him to the guest room and treats him. Luckily today was Friday so tomorrow there is no school. When she took off his jacket (he was wearing a short sleeved white shirt) she was shocked he had so many scars on his arms. He had a few wounds on his arms and blood covered his shirt. There was a lot of blood on his shirt. Blushing she removed his shirt and started to treat his wounds. The good thing is that Ryou has a lot of medical knowledge and is aiming to be a doctor when she grows up. When she done it was put all her supplies away, cleaned up and went to bed.

Time Skip: The Next Morning

Bakura groaned in pain as he tried to get up. It was 9:00 in the morning and he woke up 10 minutes ago. Then the door opened. Stood there was Ryou wearing a pink tank top and black shorts.

"Oh, you're awake." She said.

"Where the hell am I?"He asked.

"My apartment." She replied.

"Oh. How did I get here?"

"You came here last night barely conscious. You injured and I treated you. I have washed your shirt it's drying. You can where that shirt over there." She said pointing at the blue short sleeved shirt.

He grunted in acknowledgement.

"I'll bring you some breakfast."She said than left.

While she was going to get something for Bakura, she went to her room where she brought out the ring. For some reason she thought it was good to wear. When she came back Bakura was trying to stand. He wasn't facing her though.

"You shouldn't try to stand yet. You wounds may open up."

"Hn." He still wasn't facing her. But for some reason he could sense the ring. He turned around and saw the ring. His eyes widened in surprise. But then he regained his composure.

"Where did you get that?"

"This, my father gave it to me."

"Do you know what it is called?"

"Yes."

"Do you know the story behind it?"

"What story?"

"Why do I have to explain this?"

"You don't have to."

"It's best if we get the shrimp, blondie and Malik together later to explain this."

"What do they have to do with anything?"

"Everything," He said.

"Okay."

"Give me the ring."He said.

"What! Why?"

"Because I said so."

"No!"

Then he grabbed thing ring while pulling her on the bed and dropping the food she brought for him. The next thing they both are unconscious, lying down side by side.

With Joey; In Morning:

Josephine "Joey" Wheeler, had a hard life ever since she little. It all started when she was seven. Her parents started fighting about the most trivial things. She had to take care of her younger sister by herself. Her mom did help, but she had to keep her dad from breaking anything or from getting in trouble. She understood. Around that time Joey asked the local orphanage to watch Serenity (her sister) for a while. Joey was afraid that something may happen that will scar her for life. They understood and took care of her for a while.

While Serenity was there she befriended Mokuba Kaiba and his brother Seto Kaiba, though he was still warming up to her. Then one day Joey came to visit and met the Kaiba brothers. She and Seto were actually able to get a long and become great friends. But after the Kaiba brothers were adopted they lost contact.

For her parents they divorced. Joey's mother had fought for both of their custody, but so did her father. After that she and Serenity were separated. They have seen each other a few times but not recently. During that time Joey started to get bullied, and her father started to abuse her. Due to that she started fight back. The police we're involved once, yet her father still remained a free man. But he stopped abusing her. He just focused on gambling and drinking.

But something happened this morning. He seemed really angry and started abusing her. It did a great toll of damage. But she was able to escape. She was heavily injured but kept on walking, trying to get to Malik's house. Her place was the closest to here. But on the way she fainted in the park. Luckily the Kaiba brothers we're there. Seto was actually taking a break for once. They found her passed out on the ground. Cold blue eyes softened.

"Mokuba, call the driver were going home."

"Alright Seto."

He picked her up like a bride and walked towards the exit of the park. He had a lot of questions to ask her and she'll have to answer now.

Hey everyone I hope you liked the chapter. I think you all know what's going to happen next. Like I said before I'm extremely sorry for the late update. I thank you for your patience, and I will try to update sooner. But I have a question. Does anyone think that Tea's hair kind of looks like a parallelogram? Because I think that. Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks that. Also please check out my other story it's a song-fic. It's called From the inside By Linkin Park.

See ya!
