Kilala6: Sup? This chapter is a little longer, and has more romance in it, I'm thinking of changing this story to mystery and romance, cause there's not really an adventure.

It had been a week after the party. Akira was packing her stuff to run away and live with Ryou and Bakura. She was putting her clothes into her suitcase when she heard a knock on the door.

Uncle: Open the door!!

Akira: Just a sec

Akira quickly threw her suitcase under the bed and unlocked her door. Her uncle walked in holding a meat tenderizer in one hand.

Akira: Wha. what are you doing?

Uncle: Looking for something.

Her uncle opened her dresser and started going through her stuff.

Akira: What are you doing?

Akira ran towards her uncle and tried to pull his arm away from her stuff. He stopped when he found a small picture frame with a picture of her friends from America.

Uncle: What's this?

Akira shook her head as her uncle laughed wildly.

Akira: Please, leave that alone!

He hit Akira's left arm with the meat hammer, which caused her to scream. Tears rolled down her eyes.

Akira: Please don't!

It was too late; her uncle had torn the picture in half. He kicked Akira in the stomach before walking out the door. Akira lay crying on the floor holding the picture in her hands. Suddenly she heard her cell phone ring. She muffled the ringing with her hands and quietly answered it.

Akira: Hello?

Ryou: It's me, is everything okay?

Akira: I'm gonna come, as soon as he leaves

Ryou could hear her crying over the phone.

Ryou: You call me when he leaves, we'll come get you

He hung up the phone. It had been another few hours when Ryou heard the phone ring. He rushed over to answer it.

Ryou: Hello?

Akira: He's gone

Ryou: Okay, we'll be right over

Meanwhile Isis sat on Seto's couch discussing things with him, while Mokuba and Malik sat in the back playing video games.

Isis: like I said, I saw that that girl was wearing a bracelet, with the same symbol as my necklace and Yugi's puzzle.

Seto: So?

Isis: So I did some digging up, and found that there's another complete set of millennium items, but that's all we know.

Seto: So there are more?

Isis: Yes, but we don't know what kind of powers they hold. or what form they're in

Seto: So, you want me to keep an eye out?

Isis: Yes, some of the people who own them may not know about the powers they hold.

Seto: I wonder what the bracelet does.

Isis: I'm not sure.

Ryou and Bakura walked down the street towards Akira's house. They reached it and Bakura rang the doorbell.

.Ding-dong.

Akira slowly opened the door. As soon as she saw Ryou's fluffy hair she ran out to hug him, but accidentally hugged Bakura.

Akira: Oh sorry

Bakura: Whatever

Akira walked over to Ryou and hugged him. She let him cradle her in his arms for a few minutes and gently let go.

Ryou: Okay let's go

Bakura and Ryou picked up her bags and walked towards his house. When they got there they were greeted by Isis, Seto and Mokuba.

Ryou: Isis?

Isis: Oh, I see you brought Akira

Ryou: So? What do you want?

Isis: We have come to believe that there is a whole nother set of millennium items

Ryou: So? I only have two

Isis: You have two?

Ryou: Yeah.

Isis: Oh, well anyway we think that Akira holds one of them

Ryou placed his hand in Akira's and squeezed it gently.

Isis: Her bracelet

Akira lifted her other hand up revealing her bracelet.

Akira: But this, this was given to me by my father.

Isis: Well so was Ryou's

Akira looked over to Ryou, and saw the ring around his neck.

Akira: Well. what's a millennium item?

Isis: Has your bracelet ever done anything strange?

Akira: Not that I know of

Isis: well, each item has a power as we've seen with the other items, and we figured these did too

Akira: Well. maybe I haven' done what you need to do to activate it

Isis: Perhaps

Akira: Why would it matter anyway?

Isis: If there are others we must be aware, there are thieves and crazy people after the items

Ryou looked down at Akira's wrist where the bracelet lay. It was strange to him, and scared him a bit; he didn't want any more conspiracies involving the items.

Ryou: Thank you Isis, but I think she is safe with us.

Akira stared at Isis for a bit and walked up to her.

Akira: Thank you, if anything happens I'll tell you.

Akira, Bakura and Ryou walked in the house and closed the door.

Ryou's house was an average home. It was two stories, but each was small. It had three bedrooms, two baths, a living room and a kitchen.

Ryou: It's getting late; I'll go get a blanket so I can sleep on the couch.

Akira nodded her head, then Bakura took her arm.

Bakura: I guess that means you'll sleep in Ryou's room.

Bakura walked her up the stairs into Ryou's room. It was a small room. It had a flush gray carpet and blue-gray walls. There was a picture of him and his father on the wall and a small TV in the corner.

Bakura: It's not heaven, but it'll do.

He walked out and let Akira make herself at home.

Ryou: So do you like it?

Akira: Oh, it's perfect

Ryou smiled and sat on the bed next to her. Do you think this counts as kidnapping?

Akira: If it's by my own free will? Yeah.

Ryou walked out and turned off the light.

Ryou: Well goodnight.

He shut the door and walked into the living room. Akira crawled under the covers. It was warm and dark outside. She wasn't usually afraid of the dark, but like summer normally is there were occasional thunderstorms. She hated the thunder, but somehow always loved to watch the lightning. She could hear distant thunder, and it got louder every minute. She was already a little shaken from the whole millennium item thing. She grabbed her pillow and made her way downstairs. Ryou was lying on the couch half asleep but woke when Akira shook his arm.

Ryou: What is it?

Akira: I'm scared

Ryou smiled and move over on the couch so that Akira had a place to lay. She placed her pillow on the arm and laid down in front of Ryou.

Ryou: Are you afraid of the lightning?

Akira: No, the thunder

Ryou wrapped his arms around Akira and cradled her gently in his arms.

Ryou: It's okay; everything's going to be fine

Akira turned over and faced Ryou. She snuggled her face into his neck and closed her eyes. The warmth of his body and his soft comforting voice lulled her to sleep.

Ryou: Goodnight

Meanwhile Isis lay on Seto's couch stroking Mokuba's arm.

Mokuba: The thunder's scary.

Isis: Don't worry Mokuba, it'll go away.

Mokuba liked Isis; she was kind and gentle, like a mother to him. He always wished for a family but never really had one.

Mokuba: Do you like my brother?

Isis: I think your brother is very nice

Mokuba: I mean do you LIKE my brother?

Isis blushed and got off the couch

Isis: Come on now, it's way past your bedtime

Isis pushed Mokuba up the stairs and had him lie on his bed.

Isis: goodnight

She put the covers over him and kissed him on the forehead. Then she left and quietly shut the door.

Isis walked down the halls and to the front door. She grabbed her purse and got ready to leave, when she heard a cold voice from behind.

Seto: Where are you going?

Isis turned around quickly

Isis: I'm going home, Malik can't be left alone

Seto walked towards Isis, staring at her with his emotionless eyes.

Isis: Why? Why does it matter?

Seto kept walking toward her. She took a step backwards and started to turn towards the door when she felt Seto's hand harshly grab her wrist. She turned around and tried to pull free, but he was too strong.

Seto: What's the rush?

Isis: I have to go. let go of me

Seto: I will

He held her wrist tighter and smirked. Isis thrust her hand towards his face, but he caught it with his other hand.

Isis: Let go

He just stared at her blankly

Isis: what do you want?

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself, but before she could open them she felt Seto's lips touch hers, and as quickly as it had come it was gone. She slightly opened her eyes to see him staring blankly at her again.

Seto: If you want to go. than go, I don't really care.

He acted as if nothing had happened

Isis: (Maybe nothing did, It's late, and I'm tired.)

She tried not to believe what had just happened. She looked back at Kaiba before walking out into the rain and closing the door behind her.

Akira awoke when the bright sun peeked through the window and hit her eyes. She slowly opened her eyes to see Ryou's neck where she had fallen asleep. She pushed herself away and sat upright only to find Bakura sitting on a chair and going through the newspaper.

Bakura: So you're awake?

Akira: Yeah.

Bakura: I made some waffles if you want some

Akira was surprised at his kindness, Ryou had said how mean Bakura was She walked to the kitchen and got some waffles. She went back to the living room and sat on the couch after pushing Ryou's feet out of the way.

Bakura: So you know nothing of these new items?

Akira: No. mine has never done anything weird before. that I can think of.

Bakura: Ryou wears the ring, but it belongs to me.

Akira: oh. okay. so do you know anything about these things? Is it anything I should worry about?

Bakura: Well you shouldn't worry, there's nothing you could do.

Akira: But is it dangerous?

Bakura shrugged

Bakura: I don't know, no one knows about them yet.

Akira: Oh. so there are other people with them?

Bakura: Yeah. probably like six

Akira: Well. Okay.

Kilala6: Okay, that's all. please read and review. and no flamers. I'm thinking of making seven stories for each new item, and they'll all tie together in the end.
