-----------------------------~*~-----------------------------
Sharon woke up the next day, yawned and stretched, but hissed in pain as she looked over at her shoulder. There was an ugly purplish hand-shaped bruise on her arm the other day where Tokushi had grabbed her. Remembering the events of last night, she walked over to her dresser and pulled out a pair of blue jeans and a white baby doll shirt with powder blue sleeves.
Walking into the bathroom, Sharon stripped off her pajamas and looked in the mirror. For being 16, she was very thin and petite. Her legs were long; not strong, but not weak. Her arms were delicate, and her hands small and her fingers thin and anything but short. She looked at her face and neck. She had a thin face with large, soft eyes and a small nose. Her lips were smooth and a pale pink color. Her neck was slender, and her breasts weren't small, but some people would say humble (AN: Okay so maybe I got that from Shakira -_-' ah well, I didn't wanna say she was huge, but she's not microscopic, cha?). As for her wounds, her stomach had a large, dark shape a little above her belly button. She turned around, looking over her shoulder at her back. Not much damage, but it was very tender.
She looked down at her close and got dressed. And after doing most of the daily routine; brushing her hair, brushing her teeth, ect., she walked into her room, grabbing her windbreaker and slipping her shoes on. She grabbed a purple backpack from on a hook and walked outside.
The air outside was clean and crisp from the cool autumn air. The leaves were red orange and yellow, falling off of the hibernating trees.
Sharon looked at the ground while she walked, her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker. A sudden wind came, whipping at the girls jacket and pulling a few wisps out of her braid. Not really knowing why she was out, she walked on. What was she getting again? Groceries? Supplies? Or was she just out for a walk…
Without even realizing where she was going, she ran into a sudden solid force, falling back on her behind on the cold cement. "Oh!"
"Ah!"
Sharon hit the ground, a bunch of papers scattered everywhere like the fallen leaves. "Oh, sumimasen!" she cried, getting on her hands and knee's to help pick up the scattered papers.
"Oh, no apologies," said a British-Accented voice, "I should have been watching where I was going."
Sharon looked up as she picked up the last paper on the ground, putting it in the rest of the stack. Her pale blue eyes met a pair of soft brown eyes. She blinked. Along with these eyes there was a kind pale face topped off with silky white strands of long hair. A young boy was kneeling on the ground wearing a light blue jacket, blue jeans and a white tee shirt. He smiled, "I'm so sorry that I bumped into you," the boy said in his accented voice. Sharon thought that he looked - and sounded - like and angel.
"Oh, no," she straitened the stack out and gave it to him, looking at the ground and blushing, "It was my fault."
"It doesn't matter whose fault it is…" the boy said lightly. He held a hand out, "My name is Tsubasa, but please call me Ryou."
Sharon took the boys hand, was it a coincidence that this boy looked, sounded and acted like Ryou Bakura, and had his same name? "My name is Sharon…" she trailed off, looking at the ground.
Ryou sensed that she had a different name that she would like to be called. "Is there anything else you would like me to call you?" he asked politely.
"Well…" she bit her lip, "Sharon is my middle name…" she paused a moment, "but…you can call me Sarah…" Ryou knew that Sarah was a nickname that her favorite cousin had given her. He smiled warmly, "Well, all right, Sarah…"
Sharon - or as she was now known, Sarah - smiled, a blush creeping across the bridge of her nose. She looked down, "Well…um, I'd better get home now." she said. She didn't really have to go home, she just wanted out of an awkward situation…yet, she didn't want to eave the young boys side ever. She felt a certain warmth and security in his presents.
"May I walk you home?" Ryou asked, "It's the least I could do for knocking you down like that."
"Oh, I-I don't mind…" Ryou smiled and walked to the mortal's side. Sarah started to walk. Ryou really didn't need to follow her - he all ready knew the way. But, he thought it would seem suspicious if he led the way.
You found her? Ryou heard in his head.
Yes, he replied to Bakura, I'm walking her home right now.
Don't get too attached, Bakura said, remember, we can't stay forever.
Ryou looked over at the young girl. Sadly, he knew that he couldn't stay with her forever.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Make yourself at home," Sarah told Ryou as she hung her jacket on the hook by her door.
Ryou slipped his shoes off and walked onto the carpet. He looked around. The house was large for one person, making it look bare from the lack of items everywhere. But it had a cozy feeling in it.
Sarah walked into the kitchen, "Do you want anything, Ryou?"
"No, I'm fine. Thank you." Ryou called back. He turned around and peeked into the kitchen. Sarah was busying herself - with what, Ryou couldn't really see. He frowned slightly. It wasn't right for a 16-year-old girl to be isolated like she was. She had no friends, no family…She was supposed to have two loving parents, surrounded by a group of friends, always out somewhere…And its not just Ryou's own personal opinion, it was what was supposed to happen in the girls future. In the Kingdom, there was a future plan for each mortal on earth. Many routes and directions based on how the person thinks and feels. Each route would lead to another choice, and each choice would have conclusions. Sarah was supposed to have had a happy life, but instead this happened…Ryou knew that something had happened to the girl's future plan.
"Ryou?"
Ryou shook his head to snap out of his train of thought, "Wha?"
Sarah was standing in front of her with her hand on his arm, a look of concern on her face, "Is something wrong?"
Ryou shook his head, "Oh, no! I was just thinking." He smiled at her to back up his statement.
"Oh…" Sarah didn't seem fully convinced, but she didn't pry, "well…um…I was wondering if you had a place to stay?"
So far, everything was working out as planned in Yugi's scroll. Ryou always knew that the young angel was talented, "Well…not really," Ryou said, scratching the back of his neck. It was true, though; he didn't have a place to stay. To be perfectly honest, this was his first time on earth.
Sarah smiled, "Well, there's a few extra rooms if you want to stay here." She said. Ryou nodded, still smiling, "That would be wonderful! I hope you don't mind."
She shook her head, "Oh not at all! I'll go and get a bed set up."
Ryou bowed, "Arigato gozaimasu." He said. Sarah smiled, bowing slightly back, and walked off.
A few minutes later, Ryou made sure that he was alone and Sarah was busy. He then walked outside into the back yard.
From the door there was a small deck and a staircase leading down onto the lawn. The yard was large and had a strong oak tree by one of the fences with a swing on one of the low hanging branches. There was a trampoline in the middle of the yard by the deck, and on the side of the house there was a small cherry tree with pink blossoms. Many other trees were planted around the fence, blocking the yard from view.
Ryou walked down the steps and stood on the lawn, looking around. He then walked over to the cherry tree and kneeled down, pulling the scroll Yugi had written out of his jacket and placing it on the ground by the tree. A few seconds later, a small mirror popped up that looked like it was made of water. "I'm checking in," he said into the mirror.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Bakura, Yami and Yugi were standing by the mirror, "About time," Bakura muttered. Yugi shot him a filthy look.
Ryou rolled his eyes, "I found her and she invited me to stay at her house," he said, "and she also gave me her name."
"Isn't it Sharon?" Yami asked, his large wings folded behind his back.
"It's Sarah."
"Oh."
"Anyway, I'll start watching over her tonight, but I haven't used the Moon Glow yet."
Yami nodded, "All's well, Ryou. Bakura will come down in a few days."
Ryou nodded, "Yes, thank you, Sire." He bowed his head in a form of respect.
Yami lifted his hand, "Keep up you're job, don't forget your mission, and keep reporting every few days." Ryou nodded again, "Yes, Sire," he said.
Yami said his goodbyes and then walked out. Yugi looked up at Ryou's image and smiled. Ryou smiled back, and the little angel fluttered after his yami. Bakura looked up at his own aibou. "Remember," he said, "Don't get to attached." then he walked out also.
Ryou scowled as he rolled the parchment back up and put it in his coat lining. Then he straitened up and walked inside.
