Releasing a scream, Meika quickened her running pace, glancing back every
few seconds at the foul creature gaining on her. No matter how hard she
pushed herself, it seemed that she grew slower with every passing moment.
The monster began to snap at her heels, it's slathered fangs stained with
crimson. This caused Meika to scream once more, fumbling and crashing to
the ground beneath her. She glanced up in pure horror as the figure leapt
for her, shielding her face as a sudden brilliant light exploded in her
mind.
Ryou released a sigh of relief as the girl's opticals fluttered open; he had thought her to be dead. As Meika's sight became focused, she recognized the white haired teenager bent over her. She gave a yelp of surprise, stumbling to her feet, and hunkering down in a defensive stance, much to the surprise of poor Ryou. Meika's voice was several octaves above normal, as she spat out what words were forming in her mind. "Wha.what kind of a sick joke is this, where the hell am I?" Ryou blinked, what was with this girl? He gave an all too fake and rehearsed smile, the same one he used with irritating bullies at school, and with his own Yami. "I am Ryou Bakura, and you are in Domino."
Meika's mouth snapped open and shut, she reminded Ryou of a carp he had once seen at the city docks. "You're kidding, right?" She began to laugh shrilly, occuli narrowing in disbelief. "Right, and I suppose you have an evil Yami, who was a Tomb Robber in a past life as well, no?" Ryou was stunned at this remark, even though it was obviously scornful and meant to be sarcastic. How did this girl know he had a Yami, and more so, how did she know what Bakura was?
Meika noticed a confused expression shadow the boy's face, her own face screwing up in a mixture of utter disbelief, and shock. No, this couldn't be. She scanned for a symbol that she was back in her own town of Bancroft; that this was all some misunderstanding. The sign she found, which declared in bold gold lettering, "Welcome to Domino," didn't raise her spirits.
The sudden realization of what must have happened to her all hit Meika at once; she crumpled into a heap on the pavement, dissolving into a fit of sobs. Ryou glanced down with almost pity at her, she looked so miserable. Giving another sigh, this time of exasperation, he held a hand out to Meika. "Come on, we can't stay out here all night. I suppose you can come to my house, until we find you a place to stay." Meika furiously rubbed at the tears sliding down her face, giving a solemn nod, and allowing Ryou to help her up.
As Ryou led the way back to his house, he began to go over the events, which had just taken place. This strange girl had appeared out of nowhere, demanding to know where she was, and when told, she refused to believe it. Not to mention the fact that she knew Ryou had a Yami, and that information wasn't known, but to a select few, who had discovered it the hard way. A cold, heartless voice intruded his thoughts, Bakura. {What the hell are you contemplating now?} Ryou winced, but Meika was so far sunken in a state of numb acceptance that she didn't notice. He replied with the false cheeriness that everyone knew him for. {Nothing, Yami. Just stupid little thoughts that don't mean a thing.} {Really? You wouldn't be lying to me now, would you? I suppose not, well, just make sure you don't.} Ryou smiled in relief as he sensed his darker half once more retreat into his Spirit Room. However, by this time the two had found their way to his house, so he wouldn't have time to think again until later. He pushed the disturbing thoughts to the back of his mind, and unlocked the front door, ushering the stupefied Meika inside.
Well, what did you think of this chapter? I attempted to do the best Ryou I could, please don't hurt me if he seems wrong in anyway! Anyways, next chapter there will be several more unnerving experiences for Meika, what, you didn't actually expect me to post them here, did you? You'll have to read the next chapter to find out what else happens to poor Meika, don't forget, review!
