The world went black for poor Ren as she and Ryou where taken from that world.
~Ren's POV~
'Everything is so dark.....where am I? Where is everyone? It's so cold.....' I shivered slightly as my bare feet continued to walk along on a never ending path of black. All around me was nothingness, it was like being blind and I didn't like it......
"Hello! Anyone there?!" I shouted into the dark abyss. There was no reply, not even a echo. 'Why doesn't anyone answer me?' It felt like I would never feel happiness again, it was horrible. My head was spinning with questions of what was happening to me, mainly why was I there. I saw a small light somewhere off in the distance shinning brightly like a beacon of hope. I ran in the direction of the shining light as tears of happiness rolled down my flushed cheeks. As I grew closer to the light I noticed it was in the shape of a door, and a figure was standing there. Soon I saw the features of the tall shadowed person and it was.....Otogi!
"Otogi! Otogi! I am so happy to see you!" Slowly the light and Otogi started to back away into the darkness. "Otogi! No! Don't leave me! Otogi!"
~Narrator~
Ren was now in a small office laying on a couch, twisting and turning in her nightmare. Otogi looked over his shoulder to see that something was amiss with the girl. He walked to her and placed a hand on her forehead, she was running a high fever. Taking the washcloth from the glass table he carefully placed it upon her face. Strage new thoughts buzzed through his head as he observed this curious new girl. He couldn't figure out why he felt so attracted to her, she looked so beautiful......unlike any other girl he had ever seen before. Her face was the picture of a goddess sent from heaven, and her small dainty lips reminded him of cherries. She started to murmer something that was too low to make out, but grew louder the second time.
"...mmmmm....O---otogi....Otogi....don't leave me.....Otogi.....mmmmm......" Her face crinkled in frustration as her hands reached out to grab air. Otogi was shocked at what had just exited the girl's mouth. He noticed a small trickle of tears flow down her cheeks. Slowly raising his hand he brushed away the tears, stroking her cheek gently not truly relizing what he was doing. Leaning over, he planted a small kiss on her flushed cheek. Suddenly her eyes started to flutter open to see Otogi leaning over her a little to close....
~Ren's POV~
Everything turned into a blinding white that had grown from the light before. When my eyes had adjusted to the bright surounding I saw Otogi standing a short distance away from me. He was smiling sweetly towards me, as if he had been waiting for my arrival. I laughed, thinking it was to good to be true and ran towards Otogi with my arms reaching outwards. Then I noticed something, no matter how much I ran towards him, Otogi never grew any closer to me. I stopped running and began to cry, I was never going to get to see Otogi no matter how much I tried. My dreams had been shattered of the beautiful fantasy I had, now all that was let was an unpleasent nightmare.I felt a warmth near me cheek, it was diffirent.
I awoke abruptly from my phantasm to see two emerald green eyes gazing back. As they retreated backwards I noticed the true features of the person. My face flushed five shades of red, it was Otogi. He seemed concerned about something and placed his hand on my forehead while his other was on his.
"Your getting a fever!"
"I-I'm ok! You don't need to worry about me. I feel just fine!" I choked out in a rush.
"But your face is all flushed."
"Eep....um....I just feel a little warm."
"Are you shure? You look really red."
"Yeah.....you don't need to be concerned."
"Well....at least lie back down. You looked pretty bad when I found you and Bakura in front of my shop."
He pushed me back down delicately on the couch to where I was laying again. "T-t-thank you for helping me."
Otogi smiled back, just like in my dream. "Think nothing of it. I'm just glad you're ok." He brushed aside strads of hair from my face lovingly. As he began to lower his hand I caught it in both of mine, raising it to my lips I kissed the middle of his palm before curling up on the couch clutching it gingerly.
"Thank you. I don't deserve your kindness." I closed my eyes and snuggled up closer to his hand. I peeked through my left eye to see Otogi bring the chair closer towards me. He sat down on the couch in front of my abdomen, then layed down next to me and fell asleep. My eyes began to droop, to tired to keep them open. Sleep slowly took over and I was soon in a deep slumber with Otogi's hand still enclosed in mine.
~Back to Shikyo and Yami...~
Brilliant colors of red and blue swirled by as she continued to fall at rapid speed. Shikyo closed her eyes to dizzy to focus correctly. She felt like her body would just be ripped apart from the amount of pressure being put on her. A small whimper escaped her lips as she hugged herself in fear. But Shikyo had forgoten that someone else was there too. Yami was only a few feet away from Shikyo when he regained conciouse, he saw how fearfull she was and fought his way against the air to reach her. Taking both his arms, he wrapped them around her waist from behind whispering in her ear softly.
"It's ok Shikyo. I'm here now. You're not alone."
Her head bolted up at this and her cheeks flushed profusely. Shikyo turned her head slightly to see Yami resting on her sholder. He opened his eyes halfway and smiled at her. In Yami's mind he was so confused, he didn't know if he was in love or why he felt the way he did when he was around Shikyo.
"Thank you Yami, for being here for me. I don't know what I'd do without you."
"And I don't know what I'd do without you my Egyptian princess."
This comment made her heart beat at what felt like a hundred miles an hour. Then both Shikyo and Yami landed hard on solid ground. This made her angry because it had ruined her moment with Yami. After a few seconds she relized the pain growing in her rear end.
".....ugh.....my but hurts....god...have they ever heard of pillows?!"
"Are you ok?"
"Other than the major pain in my ass.....yeah! Just fine and dandy!"
"Well that's a relief......"
"Hey! What about you? Are you ok, Yami?"
"Huh.....oh....yeah I'm fine. I was more worried about you than me."
"How sweet."
His cheeks grew pink in embarrassment as he scratched the back of his head looking at the sky. "It's nothing."
Shikyo's stomach grumbled in hunger, interupting her once again of a small romantic moment. "Hehe.....I guess I am still kinda hungry." She blushed to abash to say anything else.
The both of them walked around taking in their surroundings. It would seem that they had landed in a park, with lots of couples walking about.
"Hey Yami....where are all the children?"
"I guess it's starting to get late so all of them are at home."
"Oh.....well, just how late is it then?"
Yami looked around untill he saw a large three faced clock on a pole. "It's.....whoa! 7:00 P.M!"
"Eep! Where are we gonna sleep! And I have no idea where where we are!"
"It's ok Shikyo...I do know where we are. We can stay with my grandpa."
"Ok....."
"Come on, we can eat something there."
"Shure."
They walked hand in hand onwards to Yami's gameshop at a steady pace. It was nice outside and they both wanted to enjoy the time they had. Time flew by as they strolled through the park. The Kame Game Shop was soon in Yami's sites as pointed it out to Shikyo. When Yami and Shikyo entered the store they where greeted by what looked to be a garden knome.
"Hello kids!"
"Hey gramps..."
"So....who is this new friend of yours Yugi?"
"Oh....well.....she's Shikyo Akutenshi......and....umm....she needs a place to stay.....and..."
"You were wondering if she could stay here am I right?"
"Yeah....."
"Well......she would have to do her part around the house. Are you prepared for that Mrs. Akutenshi?"
"Yes sir..." She bowed low in respect to the older man.
"Ok....you're work begins now. Tonight you can make dinner, clean the dishes, and before you go to sleep you can sweep the whole house including the shop. Well....I need to go to sleep. You two have fun! Good night." With that said the acursid old man walked out of the room.
After a good five minutes of standing there silently Shikyo finally said something. "Yami........was that your grandpa?"
"Yup."
"He's evil!"
"Nah....he's just real strict.....try not to mess up or forget alot of suff."
"Why?"
"You don't want to know why.....just don't."
"Eep."
"So, what are you gonna' make for dinner? I'm starving!"
"Well....hmm....uhhh....I guess spaghetti, rice, and green beans."
"Sounds good. Are you gonna' need help?"
"I could always use help."
"Ok. I'll show you the kitchen, it's just around the corner."
"Hey.....umm.....where am I going to sleep?"
"You could sleep in my room, on the bed if you wanted."
"But then where would you sleep?"
"I guess on the floor."
"I couldn't do that to you, I could sleep on the floor."
"Now what kind of man would I be if I was sleeping on a bed while a beautifull young woman was sleeping on the floor?"
"But I still wouldn't feel right taking the bed......"
"Tell you what.....why don't we both sleep on the floor."
"It can be like a sleep over! I can make popcorn and we can play duel monsters all night untill we fall asleep!"
"Sounds like fun, but first lets finish dinner."
"Yay! So, first off you can make the rice and green beans and I'll make the noodles."
"Hey....why do I get more stuff to do?"
"Because noodles take longer. So there" She stuck out her tounge playfully.
"That's not a good reason!"
"Fine! It's because I don't want to do alot!"
"Bah! You're so lazy!"
"Nu-uh!"
"Yeah-huh!"
"Fine then.....be that way....no dinner for you!"
"HEY! I'm starving!"
"Then do your part in making dinner! Lazybum!"
"As you say.....BUT I am no lazybum!"
"Whatever....hey! Lazybum! I've already got my noodles half done? What have you acomplished?"
"Uhhh......"
"Uh-huh."
"I'm working, I'm working!"
The both of them continued to cook and joke around untill the food was done. Working together they acomplished fixing up the table and setting the vittles up for eat. Not long after the slight shuffle of slippers could be heard coming towards the kitchen, it was Mr. Mutou.
"Well now, that food shure does smell good. What is it?"
"Grean beans, rice, and spagetti." She said proudly.
"Yummmm.....let's eat!" Drool could be seen forming at the edge of Mr. Mutou's mouth in anticipation of eating such a fine dinner.
"Yeah....I've been worked to the bone by this slave master over there." Yami jabbed his thumb in the direction of Shikyo.
"Hey! I did not!"
"Yes you did!"
"Come on kids. Let's just sit down and enjoy this wonderful meal."
"It's not that great.....just simple." Shikyo said twidling her index fingers having a sudden intrest in looking at the ground.
"Nonsense, it's a great meal. Come and eat, you must be hungry."
"Thank you." She bowed before taking a seat across from Yami to the left of Mr. Mutou. Everyone enjoyed the meal greatly while having a joyous conversation. After said meal, Mr. Mutou departed to his room saying his good nights. This left Yami, Shikyo, and the dirty dishes all alone.
"So......who's gonna' clean the dishes?" Yami asked to no one in particular.
"Not me!"
"Yes you! I did most of the cooking!"
"So! That makes no difference to me!"
"Yes it does!"
"Well....tell you what. I'll sweep the house if you wash the dishes!"
"Deal!" They shook hands in agreement to the deal. Yami had thought he was getting off easy....untill he saw the massive pile of pots, pans, and cutlery waiting for him in the sink. Groaning in agony of the work ahead of him, he set to it with a will to get done so he could get a good night's rest. Shikyo on the other hand was getting her task done much quicker. She went about sweeping diligently, but swiftly. In an odd twist of fate they finished at the same time, and both worn out. Yami was a hilarious site for sore eyes, his face, hair, and torso up where covered in bits of unidentified food. Shikyo on the other hand was covered in dust, hanging on to the broom for support.
Shikyo giggled at the site of Yami. "Hehehehehe......Yami.....you look like a mess!"
"Hah! You're one to talk! Take a look in the mirror!"
"I think I'll pass on that."
"So....where is this room of yours?"
"It's on the second floor, but don't you wanna' take a shower first?"
Shikyo looked down at herself before answering Yami's question. "I guess so, I look like a total mess!"
"Told ya'."
"Whatever. Let's just go take a shower."
Yami observed the clock hanging above the door frame of the entrance to the kitchen, it was
"HEY! We can still make it to the public bath's if we hurry!"
Shikyo was alarmed at what Yami had spoken. "W-w-what do y-y-y-you mean p-p-public b-b-baths?"
"We don't have a shower in here so we have to go to a public bath, unless you want to go to sleep like that....." He trailed off as he looked at Shikyo.
".....well....I've never been to a public bath....."
"Never?!"
"Nope."
"It's not that bad. The only diffirence it that you have to take a bath with a tone of other people."
"......is that suppose to make me feal better? Cuz it's not working."
"Uhh....ehe he....I guess not, but just don't worry about the other people ok?"
"Ok....."
"So....now we gotta get ready to go, and I'll help you."
"Thanks, Yami."
"No problem."
They headed up to Yami's room to find what was needed for this unexpected trip. After searching for what seemed forever they found two buckets, two bars of soap, back scrubber, two washcloths, and a towl for each of them. When all was said and done it was 8:00 sharp. Before exiting the house with Shikyo, Yami yelled inside the house to his grandpa where they were going. A gruff reply was all that came back, Yami shrugged and then they were off towards the public bath house.

~Back to Shikyo and Yami...~
Brilliant colors of red and blue swirled by as she continued to fall at rapid speed. Shikyo closed her eyes to dizzy to focus correctly. She felt like her body would just be ripped apart from the amount of pressure being put on her. A small whimper escaped her lips as she hugged herself in fear. But Shikyo had forgoten that someone else was there too. Yami was only a few feet away from Shikyo when he regained conciouse, he saw how fearfull she was and fought his way against the air to reach her.

"Thank you Yami, for being here for me. I don't know what I'd do without you."
"And I don't know what I'd do without you my Egyptian princess."
This comment made her heart beat at what felt like a hundred miles an hour. Then both Shikyo and Yami landed hard on solid ground. This made her angry because it had ruined her moment with Yami. After a few seconds she relized the pain growing in her rear end.
".....ugh.....my but hurts....god...have they ever heard of pillows?!"
"Are you ok?"
"Other than the major pain in my ass.....yeah! Just fine and dandy!"
"Well that's a relief......"
"Hey! What about you? Are you ok, Yami?"
"Huh.....oh....yeah I'm fine. I was more worried about you than me."
"How sweet."
His cheeks grew pink in embarrassment as he scratched the back of his head looking at the sky. "It's nothing."
Shikyo's stomach grumbled in hunger, interupting her once again of a small romantic moment. "Hehe.....I guess I am still kinda hungry." She blushed to abash to say anything else.
The both of them walked around taking in their surroundings. It would seem that they had landed in a park, with lots of couples walking about.
"Hey Yami....where are all the children?"
"I guess it's starting to get late so all of them are at home."
"Oh.....well, just how late is it then?"
Yami looked around untill he saw a large three faced clock on a pole. "It's.....whoa! 7:00 P.M!"
"Eep! Where are we gonna sleep! And I have no idea where where we are!"
"It's ok Shikyo...I do know where we are. We can stay with my grandpa."
"Ok....."
"Come on, we can eat something there."
"Shure."
They walked hand in hand onwards to Yami's gameshop at a steady pace. It was nice outside and they both wanted to enjoy the time they had. Time flew by as they strolled through the park. The Kame Game Shop was soon in Yami's sites as pointed it out to Shikyo. When Yami and Shikyo entered the store they where greeted by what looked to be a garden knome.
"Hello kids!"
"Hey gramps..."
"So....who is this new friend of yours Yugi?"
"Oh....well.....she's Shikyo Akutenshi......and....umm....she needs a place to stay.....and..."
"You were wondering if she could stay here am I right?"
"Yeah....."

After a good five minutes of standing there silently Shikyo finally said something. "Yami........was that your grandpa?"

"As you say.....BUT I am no lazybum!"
"Whatever....hey! Lazybum! I've already got my noodles half done? What have you acomplished?"
"Uhhh......"
"Uh-huh."
"I'm working, I'm working!"
The both of them continued to cook and joke around untill the food was done. Working together they acomplished fixing up the table and setting the vittles up for eat. Not long after the slight shuffle of slippers could be heard coming towards the kitchen, it was Mr. Mutou.
"Well now, that food shure does smell good. What is it?"
"Grean beans, rice, and spagetti." She said proudly.
"Yummmm.....let's eat!" Drool could be seen forming at the edge of Mr. Mutou's mouth in anticipation of eating such a fine dinner.
"Yeah....I've been worked to the bone by this slave master over there." Yami jabbed his thumb in the direction of Shikyo.
"Hey! I did not!"
"Yes you did!"
"Come on kids. Let's just sit down and enjoy this wonderful meal."
"It's not that great.....just simple." Shikyo said twidling her index fingers having a sudden intrest in looking at the ground.
"Nonsense, it's a great meal. Come and eat, you must be hungry."
"Thank you." She bowed before taking a seat across from Yami to the left of Mr. Mutou. Everyone enjoyed the meal greatly while having a joyous conversation. After said meal, Mr. Mutou departed to his room saying his good nights. This left Yami, Shikyo, and the dirty dishes all alone.
"So......who's gonna' clean the dishes?" Yami asked to no one in particular.
"Not me!"
"Yes you! I did most of the cooking!"
"So! That makes no difference to me!"
"Yes it does!"
"Well....tell you what. I'll sweep the house if you wash the dishes!"
"Deal!" They shook hands in agreement to the deal. Yami had thought he was getting off easy....untill he saw the massive pile of pots, pans, and cutlery waiting for him in the sink. Groaning in agony of the work ahead of him, he set to it with a will to get done so he could get a good night's rest. Shikyo on the other hand was getting her task done much quicker. She went about sweeping diligently, but swiftly. In an odd twist of fate they finished at the same time, and both worn out. Yami was a hilarious site for sore eyes, his face, hair, and torso up where covered in bits of unidentified food. Shikyo on the other hand was covered in dust, hanging on to the broom for support.
Shikyo giggled at the site of Yami. "Hehehehehe......Yami.....you look like a mess!"
"Hah! You're one to talk! Take a look in the mirror!"
"I think I'll pass on that."
"So....where is this room of yours?"
"It's on the second floor, but don't you wanna' take a shower first?"
Shikyo looked down at herself before answering Yami's question. "I guess so, I look like a total mess!"
"Told ya'."
"Whatever. Let's just go take a shower."
Yami observed the clock hanging above the door frame of the entrance to the kitchen, it was
"HEY! We can still make it to the public bath's if we hurry!"
Shikyo was alarmed at what Yami had spoken. "W-w-what do y-y-y-you mean p-p-public b-b-baths?"
"We don't have a shower in here so we have to go to a public bath, unless you want to go to sleep like that....." He trailed off as he looked at Shikyo.
".....well....I've never been to a public bath....."
"Never?!"
"Nope."
"It's not that bad. The only diffirence it that you have to take a bath with a tone of other people."
"......is that suppose to make me feal better? Cuz it's not working."
"Uhh....ehe he....I guess not, but just don't worry about the other people ok?"
"Ok....."
"So....now we gotta get ready to go, and I'll help you."
"Thanks, Yami."
"No problem."
They headed up to Yami's room to find what was needed for this unexpected trip. After searching for what seemed forever they found two buckets, two bars of soap, back scrubber, two washcloths, and a towl for each of them. When all was said and done it was 8:00 sharp. Before exiting the house with Shikyo, Yami yelled inside the house to his grandpa where they were going. A gruff reply was all that came back, Yami shrugged and then they were off towards the public bath house.
