Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! or Tenchi Muyo so please don't sue me.
Author Notes: To those who are demanding it, there is no Yugi/Ayeka pairing. Aside from Ryou there will be hardly any contact between the rest of the YGO cast. My eye's starting to swell again so please don't start demanding things that my little unromantic mind just can't comprehend.

Chapter 5: The Key
Washu sighed as she ran her fingers through her hair and stared at the form that lay before her. "I hope this doesn't turn into something I regret, after all Kagato really did create her." She said to herself as the final Gem took it's place in the forms wrist. A young girl with red hair down to her shoulders, strait, with a few strands tied around the back. Pale skin, and green eye's, glasses covering them. She slowly sat up Washu half expecting the girl to be literally insane. Kagato had created a female that as Ryoko was suposed to find Tsunami, this girl had been created to find the seven Millenium Items for him as well. "Danielle?" She softly spoke the girls name as she slowly came to. "Wh...Who?" She looked over to Washu and then down to her hands. Only to relize she wasn't wearing any clothes, a deep blush spred over her pale cheeks. "Miss Washu Sasami..." Ryou had entered the room and was now almost entirely red as the girl herself looked down. "Ryou! I'm sorry I forgot to tell Sasmi I didn't want anyone down here." Washu said as she ran off and came back with the girl some clothes. She took them and with help from Washu got them on, a purple sweater with a turtle neck and darker purple scarf, and a pair of blue jeans. Slowly the blush went off of both of their faces. "I'm sorry Washu I should have knocked but I didn't think, who is she anyways?"
"Her name is Danielle, she was created by Kagato to find the seven Millenium Items, he wanted everything powerful and Tsunami and the items were things he wanted most." She said, Ryou frowned and looked from Danielle to the ring. "Don't worry though, I don't think she'll try to hurt anything, unlike Ryoko her nature seems to too gentle the one flaw in Kagato's otherwise perfect pawn." Washu said looking to Danielle who had a look of uncertainty on her pale face. "Will you take her upstairs for me?" Ryou nodded and grabbed the girls hand gently.

"Ryou, is Washu coming?" Sasami looked over from the kitchen counter to see Ryou walk in following him timidly was Danielle. "Who's she?" Sasami asked looking at Danielle who blushed and tried to hide behind Ryou. "Her names Danielle, Washu said she'd explain to everyone later on." Ryou said then turned around to Danielle and spoke to her in a soft tone. "You don't have to be scared, I know it's hard to be around new people but your among friends now." She nodded, and spoke "I'm sorry." She said, Ryou checkled slightly, "By the way, My name is Ryou." Sasami walked up to her cheerfully and extended a hand in greeting "And my names Sasami, it's nice to meet you Danielle!" She smiled as Danielle hesitantly took her hand, "I'm cooking lunch right now, is there anything special you would want to eat?" Danielle shook her head silently. "Are you sure?" Sasami asked once again the girl shook her head and Sasmi smiled and returned to her cooking. "Okay suit yourself. Ryou tell my sister and Ryoko that the foods almost ready to get in her as fast as they can." Ryou smiled and walked out.
________________________________________________________________ Bakura frowned as he watched Ryoko and Ayeka once again fighting, over Tenchi of all people! Women were something Bakura had never understood, he thought Ryoko was incredibly beautiful and in a way much to good for Tenchi but perhaps it was just him. The sound of footsteps on the steps of the shrine could be heard as Ryou walked into veiw followed by a red haired girl. "Who is she?" I asked as Ryou neared me, "Washu will explain when everyones at the house, her names Danielle if that's what you mean." He said and then looked over to the fighting girls. "I think you should have an ice pack ready for me if I've got to break those two up." He smiled slightly. Bakura chuckled and then looked at Danielle who blushed and clutched to Ryou's sleeve. 'Okay, she's not very brave, as a matter of fact she acting like a scared little rabbit.' he thought to himself "I'll see you down at the house, okay Ryou?" He spoke as he walked down the shrine steps. "Okay, Bakura." He then looked over to Danielle who was watching the white haired spirit walk down the steps, still clutching his sleeve. "Why don't you go with him Danielle?" Ryou said with a friendly smile on his face, "He's not going to hurt you." she nodded
"I know it's just that..." She didn't answer just looked down at the ground. Ryou shook his head and walked towards Ryoko and Ayeka.

They all sat in the living room of the Misaki household Ryoko eyeing Danielle suspisously. "So exactly why did you bother to wake her up exactly?" She asked as she crossed her arms and Danielle timidly clutched Ryou's sleeve. "Because if I didn't someone else with the same intentions as Kagato would find her, and use her, probably in more ways than one." Washu answered. Bakura sat in a chair his legs crossed over each other his arms crossed looking at Danielle. 'So she's able to find the Millenium Items, she might be of some use to me then, onces we get back to Domino, I'm sure she'd love to come with us, she seems to like Ryou so much.' he thought to himself with a smirk.

Danielle looked down at the water of the spring and sighed. "Why do you cling to him so much?" came the harsh voice of Ryoko from behind her, she turned around and a deep blush spread across her face. "I don't know." SHe said silently, "I guess because I feel like he can relate to me, he can protect me." Ryoko stepped into the water and sat down adding to Danielle already dark blush. "So in other words you like him?" Danielle blushed even more "No! or at least, I don't think so...I don't know what it feels like to be in love, or to be loved by someone else." She looked down at the water as Ryoko handed her a glass of Sake she didn't drink any though. "To tell you the truth I don't really know either." Ryoko frowned "All I've known is how to come onto people like some two dollar prostitute. But now, there's someone I think I might be in love with, I just don't know." Danielle looked at the other woman. "Who is it? Tenchi?" she took a guess. "No. Bakura, there's something about him that just draws me to him. But at the same time I can't talk to him without wanting to smack him." Danielle nodded, "Maybe, well I remember hearing, something like if two people are alot a like, they can't talk to eachother without seeing that and it makes them scared and they pretend to hate eachother." Ryoko looked over to her she somehow knew she was right but at the same time she didn't want to admit it. She made her face turn into a scowl as she stood up, "NO way! There's no way I'm in any way like that worthless loser!" She got up and walked out of the room, leaving Danielle alone.

Bakura sighed as he listened to their conversation, Danielle was right, and Ryoko was stubborn. Why did he feel like this? Somebody call the doctor, he needed a check up from the neck up he was going crazy!
