Riku: Does that mean you actually want to find out what's gonna happen in this chappie?

Bakura:...nooooo.....

Riku: Right...

Last Time On Dark Innocence

"Look, baka, there's nothing! The only explaination is that someone found it and took it!" Bakura said, growing impatient once more.

"It can't be, it's really dark out, no one would come out!" Ryou replied. Bakura opened his mouth to defend his theory but couldn't find anything. They both stood there silently.

" Ryou, what if...Akiko stole it?" ***********************************************************************

Chapter 6- Meetings

" That's not right!" Ryou immediatly answered. " She would never do something like that!" Bakura rolled his eyes.

"You just met her for like thirty seconds! Stop being so stupid!" Bakura spat.

Ryou winced. " B-but she seems so nice..."

"You've just seen her outside, not the inside!" Bakura said in a kinder-but-still-very-mean-tone, after he saw Ryou wince. More silence. "...sorry..." Bakura muttered.

" It's alright, right now, we have to see if you're theory is right" Ryou looked at the dark sky. "Or, maybe tommorow"

The next day, Ryou phoned Yugi, asking if they could meet at the park with all his friends.

"Okay, we'll be there!" Yugi answered happily.

"And make sure to bring Akiko too!" Ryou bursted out.~Whoops! Wasn't thinking!~

~What do you think you're doing?~

~Sorry!~

"What? Whoa! Why do you have a suddenly want her to come? She's coming. Wait a second...YOU LIKE HER?" Yugi exclaimed.

"No of course not! It's just that since she's new to me, I want to know more about her, not because I like her!" Ryou quickly explained.

Yugi grinned slyly. " Right...well, see you there!"

"Bye" Ryou said.

Fifteen minutes later, the gang was at the park. Bakura was keeping an eye on Akiko while inside Ryou's mind.

"So, what do you think we should do? How about watching a movie?" Anzu suggested.

"Sure, why not? So, what movie should we watch?"Yugi asked.

" How about Super Dog? Hehe!" Joey said excitedly. (A.N. I know, lame but its a part of a plan)

Everyone stared at Jounouchi. It was silent, except for Ryou, who could hear Bakura laughing his head off.

"So, are you super dog?" Honda mocked recalling Jounouchi's battles with Kaiba and Otogi.
"What?! I just like watching professional animals do movies, so backoff!"answered Jounouchi with hints of hurtness in his voice.

"Whoa! Chill, guys!" Anzu said.

"Humpth!" Jounouchi and Hoda said at the same time.

Ryou noticed that Akiko was staying silent and just staying out of this fight. Ryou approached her.

" So, you like it around here?" Ryou asked in a friendly voice.

" Yeah, I get to meet so many kind people!" Akiko said smiling at Ryou.

Suddenly, Bakura noticed a flash of gold in her pocket. A very farmiliar colour. A colour he always wanted to see. A Millenium Item...
