Okay. Would you know it? Chapter 2. Huh. Lol! Well, Id just likes to state now. Although I do have an OC or 2, they are not in anyway overly important or based upon yet. I just like to add a few to glue things together or give the effect of other things in the world. I do have one OC that I do favor, Iv written a lot of stories about her, but I'm not sure if I'll ever publish em, too many OC fics floating around…
~Chapter 2
Draped in night's veilBudgie wandered past the nearby game shop. She stopped just short of the steps that led up to the door. Looking around, she wandered along side of it, tapping on the windows.
"Huh!" She grunted to herself "He should be home..."
Glancing at her watch, she sighed. It about 2 in morning, why wasn't anyone there? She frowned.
"He told be to come by…" She sighed. "Figures… Just like every other guy."
She flipped her hair back and trudged back for her apartment. The sky glared grays at her. Threatening to catch the girl in one of its random showers, as it had so many times before. Pulling her jacket around her tighter, she set off back for home.
"Stupid guys…" She hissed under her breath. "The annoying albino next door is around more often then the boys I like…"

Ryou struggled to his knees and he searched his surroundings.
"Why did I run?" He whispered to himself. He voice was raspy, it hurt to breath, let alone speak. He bit his bottom lip as he reached out for something to hold onto for support. Blindly he reached forward, only to have his hands ripped at by a field of thorns.
"Ah!" he cried, whipping his hand back. Though it was little more then a whisper. He stared at his surroundings… he was resting in a bed of roses. The ones at his sides where a soft baby blue, the ones pressed up against him and at his feet where a dark crimson, rimmed in purple.
'What an odd color for a flower…' he thought, reacting out a quivering hand to tough the pedals. He ran his finger down the silky flowers, leaving a trail of blue behind his finger.
'What the…'
He ran the rest of his had over the flower, leaving blue pedals behind. He lifted his hand away and stared at it. A thick, crimson liquid stained his fingers and hand.
'Oh…' he thought, almost blacking out as he wiped his hands off on his jeans. 'I have to get somewhere…'
He fell backwards as he began so stand up. 'Damn it…' he thought, fighting unconsciousness. His chest tightened as he heard something, someone approaching.
'What if…' he tried to will himself invisible. 'If Bakura…. SHIT!'
What would Bakura think if he found him like this, hiding in the roses? He couldn't hide from him… he had the ring… 'Why did I fight back?' The only think that had kept Ryou alive to this point was his obedience… But now…
He saw a shadow from the corner of his eye and held his breath. There was such little lighting; it was hard to make out the man's features. 'Perhaps, he will just pass me by this time… ' He prayed, to whoever might be listening. A knot in his throat and a short coughing fit shattered yet another hope.
The man turned sharply towards Ryou. Letting what little light the trees above filtered from the moon accent his outline. He had long hair, draped around his shoulders and swaying in the mild breeze. Probably about the length of Ryou's hair, give or take an inch or two. It was too dark to tall for sure. The silver light made out dark, slender eyes and well defined cheekbones and chin. Something shiny and serrated glinted in the faint light as he moved.
The dark figure made a slow b-line for Ryou.
'Oh shit…'

Bakura made his way down the street towards the city park. He would surly find his hikari there. He kept a death-lock view of the trees he spotted above the roofs of the houses and shops. He let his glare shift to Budgie as she wandered past him, heading for the apartment complexes.
"Stupid neighbor girl" he spat after she had past.
He smiled inwardly to himself as he crossed the road and into the park. The gravel on the road kicked up at him as he sped up, down the hill towards the garden areas. He glared at the daffodils, which seemed to stair up at him in a taunting way. But noticed something strange about them. He kneeled down and grinned. Blood. Ryou had been through here. He was close, very close…sure, he could use the ring to find him, but he always enjoyed the thrill of a hunt, and the moist autumn air.
He got up and turned his attention to the rose gardens across the fields…
~~~***~~~
A young man wandered down through the park, ignoring the dew and frost on the grass that collected at the bottom of his jeans as he trudged though. Insomnia had set in as he was preparing to go to bed. There was something in the back of his mind that itched, and he didn't know what it was. He had forgotten something, and couldn't quite put his finger on it. He didn't bother to pull back his hair or put down the grapefruit spoon he had been eating with; or even grab a warm jacket, he just needed the air. Pulling gently on one of his dark locks, Otogi continued down the path into the gardens.
He inhaled the night air slowly. He enjoyed the sent of roses in the park, blending in with the soft fragrances of the other flowers. It was good for clearing you mind, and smells often sparked his memory. What had he forgot…
A sudden hacking noise from a near by rose bush made him jump. He wheeled around and tried to make out what could have made the noise in the bushes. He approached slowly, holding his spoon out, ready to defend himself from what he would find in the bushes.
He pulled the roses aside and almost fell backwards. He gathered himself up and leaned forward, dropping the spoon.
"Ryou?"

Okay, the end of chapter 2, YAYFEST! Sorry it took me so long to post, my look up explains why. I hope you enjoyed, please R&R, with whatever, I even take flames. Something to go on. Oh, and to clear up any confusion; incase you couldn't fit the pieces together; Budgie is the neighbor girl in the first chapter. I like tying things together with her. Eheh…
