The upcoming month was surprising for Madoka and Yugi, they were getting a transfer student from England, Madoka had never been across the state or England before but the surprising part was the transfer student.
He had gentle emerald green eyes with a hint of doe brown, he had long white hair, pale skin and a gentle smile.
He looked nice and Madoka heard her name being called as she stood up before noticing the name written on the board and translated it for her mind, his name was Ryou Bakura. "Ms. Kaname, would you mind showing Ryou around the school.
Deep down, she could feel his emotions, he's scared and lonely. "So, this is the music room on your left, up ahead are the bathrooms and over there if we head downstairs is the track where we run around to do laps in PE, over there is the gym and that building is the outside cafeteria where students can come to enjoy their outdoor lunch." Madoka said as they began to walk back to their class before a gruff voice startled them.
"HEY YOU THERE!!! YEAH, YOU TWO!!!" Madoka let out the air from her nose and rubbed her temples, she had to deal with the PE Teacher from hell, some students call him the true Satan in human skin that drinks wine from his victim's skulls.
Placing a fake smile on her face, she turned to face the PE teacher who backed when he saw the young girl. "Good Morning!" She said in a cheery tone which Ryou felt like he should back up 5 feet away or things would get ugly,
"M-Ms. Kaname! I-I didn;t know you were giving this troublemaker a tour!" Karita stuttered before turning serious as he grabbed Ryou's hair before Madoka grabbed the thin book and smacked Karita off of Ryou. "Mark my words transfer student, you cut that hair and I'll start respecting you, you little-!" Karita stopped when the smile on Madoka came back before turning scary.
"Mr. Karita...if you don't step out of the way, I will not hesitate to get the teachers and tell them what you did." Madoka said in a low tone that scared Ryou and the teacher before her smile returned.
"Have a good day!" She said as she walked over to her locker with Ryou and handed him two yellow ribbons she kept in case if she lost her red ones. "Here, you can use these to tie up your hair for PE." She said with a kind smile that made Ryou blush at her. "Th-Thank you." He thanked as she giggled before heading to lunch with Ryou to sit with her friends.
They enjoyed the lunch Madoka made in cooking class as Ryou could feel his own heart beating fast every time he saw Madoka but he felt down when he saw her kiss Yugi's cheek, he felt a little heartbroken but he could feel something dig into his chest as he rushed to the bathroom to see what was causing the pain.
"What's wrong with me? I keep feeling this weird pain in my chest...since I saw Yugi's pendant and...Ms. Kaname...Madoka…" Ryou stopped when he said Madoka's name before hearing dark laughter as he turned around to see someone but no one was there who made the dark laughter, he checked the stalls and no one was there.
'That was weird...did I really hear a voice..? Or am I daydreaming…? Yugi's pendant...it really looks like my own pendant…' Ryou said looking at his pendant which was a ring with a triangle with an eye and five spikes dangling as he placed it back under his shirt.
The day ended as Ryou left school grounds and walked to his apartment as he let out a ragged sigh before sobbing quietly because of the empty home he stayed at, he hated being alone and scared.
Since the death of his mother and little sister, he blamed himself for their deaths but his father blamed the person who did it to them, Ryou had been through counseling and therapy because of his depression and his father caught him cutting his wrists and nearly throwing himself out the window from one of the apartments.
He nearly hung himself right before his father left, his father had someone watching over Ryou to make sure he wouldn't do it again, it was a girl named Sayaka Miki. She would calm him down and watch him if he did anything but soon after 5 months, he stopped all those things to himself as he walked to his room and began to write letters.
Dear Amane,
It's me your big brother Ryou, how have you been? Is mother alright?
Guess what? Your big brother has made new friends at his new school and maybe a crush on a girl but she is already with someone else, Amane, I wish to never be alone anymore.
I want you to come back with mother, your sweet little eyes and little smile is all that I can remember.
But I'm not hurting myself anymore, I know how much it hurts to see me do that.
Tell mother I love her.
Your big brother, with all the love and bright smiles,
Ryou
Ryou had finished writing his letter as he folded it up and placed it in a box labeled 'Amane' before the dark voice spoke up and Ryou turned to see who it was but again, no one was there as he grabbed his head in pain before the dark voice spoke up.
'That voice again!' Ryou thought as the dark voice spoke back to Ryou. 'Oh, you can finally hear me?' The dark voice asked as Ryou spoke out loud. "Who's there?!" Ryou was getting scared, he thought he was finally cracking and losing his sanity as he dug around his cabinets for his pills to calm him down as he took two out and swallowed them.
'Taking pills to calm yourself down? That's not very nice when I can finally communicate with my master, after 3,000 years...oh yes, this should be celebrated...we can finally hear each other…' The voice said as Ryou gripped the side of his head and slammed his fist down.
"SHUT UP! WHO ARE YOU?! WHERE IS THIS VOICE COMING FROM?!" Ryou yelled as the voice stopped when he finally realized why he took the pills as the door slammed open to reveal Sayaka with a worried look before she saw the spikes from the ring piercing his skin as she saw the pleading look on his face.
Sayaka tried to tug it off as Ryou felt pain which made Sayaka stop what she was doing and before them was a shadow in front of them with a cruel smile as Sayaka summoned a sword before it vanished and Ryou collapsed on the ground before cruel laughter came from Ryou. "Get the hell out of Ryou!!" She yelled as the Dark Ryou cackled before pushing her and running out the door to find the teacher that hurt Ryou.
~~~Kyu~~~
"Bakura didn't come to school today…" Madoka said as she walked with Yugi and his friends before her map showed them the place where he lived as Joey talked with Tristan before Madoka felt chills shooting throughout her body like electricity through water the minute they arrived at Ryou's front door.
Madoka squeezed Yugi's hand in hers as he saw how nervous she was, he could feel how scared she was almost like she could feel something he couldn't.
The door opened to reveal an old friend of Madoka, Sayaka Miki. "Madoka?!" she asked as they hugged and began to talk about things as Dark Ryou entered and that's when things got bad when Sayaka looked at the possessed Ryou before Madoka noticed Sayaka grew her hair out to where she braided it.
The Dark Ryou took Madoka by the hand and led her to the game room where everyone else was at before she picked her character to be a blessed archer and told her that her character would come in later.
Her character wore poofy pink dress with ribbons arranged at the neck, waist, and on the shoes. The middle of the torso is pale yellow with a white stripe and red buttons. On the back right under the white ruffles at the hem of the dress, is a heart-shaped hole.
For the waist is a flower-like pattern that is a pink-white fade. At the edge of this are three diamond shapes and a red border. Under it is a white skirt accompanied by a petticoat of the same color.
The figure also wears a pair of white gloves with pink trims, white, knee-high stockings, and dark pink heels.
Madoka couldn't help but smile at the figurine in front of her as Dark Ryou started the game as he voiced the story.
~Raise the Curtains~
A band of heroes travel to a village to find a quest they could help about as they entered the nearby tavern as the swordsman, Jonouichi along with his friends, Honda the hunter with excellent shooting skills, Yugi the beast tamer, and Anzu the mage.
"Oi bozo! We are, as you can see superior adventurers! Do you have anything profitable for us?" Jonouichi asked as Honda smacked his head and muttered to himself. "It's always about the money, huh?"
Hearing these words, the old man started to look around, let out a sigh and began to tell a tale…
"If it could be solved with money, I could give you everything I own...but I doubt you would enjoy it!" With that, the old man turns around and heads further into the bar. "Oi, old man wait up! There's something going on here, so tell us more about it!" Jonouichi shouted at the old man.
So the old man started his sad tale…
"Until now, we were able to live in peace and harmony. But then appeared the dark dictator who calls himself Zorc. He has killed the king and turned the palace into a pool of despair...since then, several villagers have fallen prey to his terrible monster minions...but there is a tale of a young girl blessed by the angels and God himself...no one has been able to find her because of Zorc…" The old man cleaned another empty mug from all of the beer as Jonouichi pounded his fist against the wooden table as the glass mugs fell and broke.
~Close the Curtains~
Madoka sighed at her friends as she got up to stretch her arms and head to the kitchen to grab something to eat, she grabbed a banana and went back inside as Dark Ryou saw her with the banana as he licked his lips before the loud snap of the banana caused him to shiver at the sight of the banana snapped in half brought all of the boys attention before crossing their legs afraid of what Madoka could do.
Madoka looked at them in confusion before speaking up.
"What?"
"L-Let's continue!" Dark Ryou stuttered as he continued the game to where they left off.
~Raise the Curtains~
On their way, the gang was surrounded by high level shadow demons before arrows struck the demons away as the group looked back to see a young archer in a frilly pom pom dress holding an old branch bow as she smiled at the group. "Is everyone alright?" She asked as Yugi's heart began to beat faster before answering with a nod as she smiled and clapped her hands together in glee as she traveled along with them.
"Look! Someone's collapsed!!" Anzu shouted as Madoka walked closer to the object on the ground before checking the neck for a pulse and sighed in relief as the stranger woke up and before him he saw was a girl so beautiful, she helped him up to his feet. "Please help me! I was attacked in the forest and had a very important treasure stolen from me!" The stranger cried as Madoka felt bad for the stranger.
"I was on my way to deliver that treasure to the heroes of the village! That treasure is a holy sword uniquely capable of defeating Zorc and finding the blessed girl!" The stranger said as he begged on his knees. "Please help me! Please bring back that sword!" He begged as Madoka promised to find the sword.
"Thank you, please allow me to accompany you!" They accepted the offer and walked through the forest where they would encounter monsters as Madoka shot a high level monster only for her weapon to snap in half. "Oh no!" Anzu cried out as the stranger held out something wrapped in a cloth before handing it over to Madoka.
"Here, this would help." He said as she took the cloth off and it showed a beautiful rose branch longbow with sparkling pink gems as she held it before pulling back a magic arrow and firing at a monster which exploded as she praised herself for her victory as Yugi brought back a companion.
The little monster named Poki charged over and nuzzled Madoka as she giggled at the small monster.
Anzu used her ultimate Magia Attack, Apprentice Final Big Bang which destroyed three monsters as Madoka cheered for the mage who gave a V-sign with her hand before laughter came from the stranger behind Madoka as she backed away from the stranger before Poki protected her.
"As I thought, you four are the adventurers who oppose me…" He stopped when he turned to the young archer. "And you are the young blessed girl with the power to destroy me!" All warriors looked at Madoka who was holding onto Poki.
The stranger began to transform in front of their eyes into...The Dark Master Zorc!
~Close the Curtain~
Just as Madoka saw the demon Zorc, she grasped her head as she fell out of her chair which made the others look at her just as Téa had her soul transferred into her character as Madoka cried in pain as tears fell from her eyes.
Dark Ryou used his shadow powers to transfer Madoka into her character before she fell limp against Yugi just before Tristan and Joey were transferred as well. "Before that Ryou...put my soul into a doll too!" Yugi said as Dark Ryou did and thought the game was over until Yami showed up and looked at Madoka before hugging her.
Madoka blushed which earned looks from all of them.
"Ryou...I will defeat you and free my friends along with that boy you've possessed!" Yami vowed as he laid Madoka down gently.
