Authoress' Notes:
This is a bit different then my usual stories. This one stars Bakura, a character who is often neglected from other Yu-Gi-Oh stories.
That's all I have to say other then I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of its characters, no matter how much I wish I did. So, please don't sue unless you want to get 100 rabid dust bunnies and 300 pieces of flea-ridden cat and dog fur.
Dangerous Love
Chapter 1
Ryou Bakura walked into the school building, sore from last nights "lesson". He walked with a slight limp and it hurt to move his left arm. The bell rang and he was now officially late.
He continued to walk up the steps carefully, wincing with each step. Another detention…he thought, finally entering the building and walking down the empty hall toward his homeroom.
-----------later…
The teacher slapped a detention slip onto the silver haired teen's desk, making Bakura jump. "Detention, Mr. Ryou! I swear! You have been skipping out on more classes then I can count!" Bakura sighed and slumped in his chair until the desk was level with his eyes. It was going to be a long day…
--------Later, at lunch…
Joey and Yugi headed toward their usual table in the back of the room, trays of food in their hands and Bakura trailing behind them.
Suddenly, Joey stopped and pointed. "Hey. Check her out!" Bakura and Yugi looked past Joey and saw a girl with neck-length red hair and a very angry expression on her face as she and the school bully exchanged insults. It took several minutes before the group saw the source of the problem. The girl's shirt had juice and food spilled on it.
Then, the girl stomped her food in frustration, spat something out at the bully in what sounded like Chinese and walked away, grumbling all the while about the bully.
Bakura sat at the table in the very back in the far corner. Alone, as usual.
After getting a new tray of food, the girl started searching for a table.
Bakura saw this and motioned her over. The girl looked surprised. She pointed to herself and gave him a questioning look. He nodded and waved her over again.
She walked over and sat down across from him and said, "Thanks."
Bakura smiled slightly and said, "Your quite welcome…um…"
"Ryoko Aisha." She said, seeing him struggle for something other then 'miss'.
"Nice meeting you, Aisha-san. I'm Ryou Bakura." He bit into his sandwich and made an, 'this tastes like c***' face and pushed it aside.
Aisha bit into her own and just said, pushing it away as she wrinkled her nose in discussed, "Eww. This stuff tastes like c***."
"My thoughts exactly."
After eating what they could stomach, the two didn't say anything for a while except for the occasional, "so…" here and there.
Finally, after ten minutes of staring at their food while ants swarmed over the rotten meatloaf, the bell rang telling everyone that it was time to get back to work.
---------later…
Bakura watched as everyone exited the building, leaving him to walk alone toward the detention office.
Suddenly, he realized that he wasn't alone. He looked over and saw Aisha walking along side him, her hands behind her head and a smile on her face. "What are…what are you doing here?" he asked in his British accent.
"Um? Oh. I got detention too." She said.
"No you…you asked…?"
"Yep. I asked. What are friends for?" she asked, winking.
Bakura walked in stunned silence, unsure as to what to say about this. Someone wanted to be his friend? HIS friend?
Aisha noticed her friend staring at her strangely and she asked "What?"
"Why did you…?"
"Why did I ask?" Bakura nodded. "Well, I thought that you could use some company during this time of annoying speeches and endless preaching about school being important."
Bakura smiled slightly as he thought, Wow…no one actually asked to get detention with me…not even Yugi…he looked at Aisha out of the corner of his eye.
She was still smiling and walking along beside him, humming the Twilight Zone theme as they neared the detention office.
He couldn't help but chuckle at this. This girl was very strange, but he was glad he had someone to talk to, even if he didn't tell her everything. His smile faded when he remembered his Yami. What will he do to her if he meets her? He thought, suddenly wishing that he hadn't met Aisha.
