(( A/N: Caution: Yugi is slightly out of character and shallow in this chapter for comedy reasons. I guess it's just because that's how I really see him: stupid. =P By the way, the song is Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park.))
Bakura stared. She didn't seem to mean any threat… She hadn't moved a muscle. Just sat there…
He could tell she was worried. Narrowing his eyes, he stepped toward her. A sinister laugh escaped him. The girl's worried look remained, yet, she didn't seem scared… Too bad.
"Who the hell are you? What do you want?!" Bakura snapped.
She remained silent. Gritting his teeth, he let out a snarl. Bakura now stood in front of her, fist clenched.
"God damnit, speak!"
"I… I'm sorry…"
Grabbing the collar of her shirt, he threw her off of the hospital bed, onto the pale, tiled floor. Muttering a quick 'Itai', she slid onto the floor, rubbing her neck.
"If you don't tell me who you are, I'll kill you!"
The Millennium Ring began to glow, the dangling particles clinking together. The girl got to her feet. Both sets of brown hues narrowed.
Shing. Energy caught his attention. Turning to the window, he felt the energy grow closer…
'Bakura…'
"It's… Malik…"
Malik's spirit body appeared beside Bakura, Millennium Rod in hand. A smirk formed on his lips.
"Bakura, I see you're awake."
"How dare you show your repulsive face, Malik! After you took my hikari…"
"Tch tch," tapping his Millennium Rod against his arm, he slowly shook his head, " I'll give you your hikari back after you kill the Pharaoh." Malik opened his mouth to say more, then noticed the young girl. She was approaching him, a death glare in her eyes.
"Return Ryou. Now." She spoke.
Malik recognized this look. This evil glare…. It was the same Bakura had given him when they first met. A snicker escaped Malik.
"There's nothing you could possibly do to stop me. I-"
The girl lifted her arm, waving it through the image of Malik. Malik's spirit body began to fade out.
"What the hell? This can't-"
Malik couldn't finish. Somehow, the girl had sent Malik's shadow body back to his real body. Bakura stared, stunned at what he had seen. Now a bit calmer than before, he spoke up.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Bria. I'll help you get Ryou back… that's all you need to know."
Bakura turned his back to the girl, crossing his arms. "Fine. As long as you don't get in my way."
Seto, Mokuba, and Trish now stood above Yugi, watching him battle Strings. Yugi didn't seem to have the spirit to go on any longer…
That is, until Seto talked him out of it.
Seto wasn't about to allow Yugi to fall here. Not when he could be battling him for a God Card. Seto wanted revenge… Revenge for that time Yugi had defeated him.
Trish lifted her head to the sky. There, among the dark clouds floated the God of Osiris; the huge, crimson snake-like creature. It roared, sending chills up her spine. It looked so… scary…
Suddenly, it let out a roar as if in pain. It began to squirm and toss its head in different directions. A glow swallowed the huge monster, exploding in a flood of light. Returning her attention to the fight, she found Strings on the ground in a pile of cards. Apparently Yugi had won…
Seto was already beside Yugi, challenging him, Mokuba trotting along beside him. Trish slid down the hill, just in time to catch the last bit of the conversation.
"I can't battle you now, Kaiba. Jounouchi and the others are in danger!"
With that, Yugi took off running. Seto wasn't about to let Yugi run away scared like that. Motioning for Mokuba to follow, he ran after him.
Mokuba then motioned for Trish to follow, just as his brother did, hoping he looked like his nii-sama. Trish, of course, followed.
"I hope Bria's doing alright…"
((Well, there's the second chapter. I hope you like it. **Please please PLEASE r/r!** I wanna know what you think!))
