~Ren's POV~

The next morning I awoke to see that I was in my own bed again. It had all been a dream, a beautiful hallucination of my mind. Rising slowly upwards I saw that the room was my own, nothing had changed. I groaned in agony of how pleasant the vision had been, but not real. Today was Sunday, so that ment it was time for internet. I thought that if anything the internet could take my mind off how frustraited I was. I suffled out of bed slowly to the computer chair across the room. For hours I stared at the bright computer screen in a trance, clicking and typing like a continuouse ritual. I was brought back to the real world when I heard a knocking at my door. The clock on my computer read 8:00 and I had a suspicious feeling of who was behind that door.

"Ren dear....It's your mother. Let me in please."

I lifted myself from the chair and shuffled towards the door, I was so annoyed at my mom right now for interrupting my peaceful abyss. "What is it mom?"

"I want you to go out today and search for your friend Shikyo. Her mom said she went out yesterday and never came back."

"Interesting......well, I'll go as soon as I get dressed. Ok?"

"Ok dear. I have to go to the store now, and then go to Grandma's so I won't be home the rest of this week. Will you be ok?"

"Yeah.....I guess so."

"Good. I'll see you next week then! By dear! Be shure not to get into any trouble!"

"Ok mom!"

The door closed downstairs and I watched mom depart in the car from my window. I turned around and went to my dresser picking out a spagetti strap t-shirt with a dice in the middle. Looking around I saw my black bell bottom pant's with blue flame at the bottom discarded on the floor carelessly. I put on my outfit along with my new gothic boots and a black hat that had the kanji symbols for Otogi in bright red on the front. After walking downstairs I saw my panda purse along with my forgotten necklace of a dragon holding a die. Before going out the door I put on both items quite releived to know they were not lost. When I walked outside into the bright sun my eyes screamed in pain from suddenly reveling them to something so intense, unfotunitaly the hat did little to help protect my eyes. Squinting against the sunlight I searched for my bike only to find it on the side of the house missing the front wheel.

I stamped off to the backyard to find a replacement kicking things left and right as I went. Shuffling through the shed I found a tire all the way at the back covered under tones of junk and dust. Coughing, I unearthed the round treashure as dust flew everywhere including my hair.

"Ugh.....now I'm going to have to take a shower when I get home! Argh you Shikyo! Why me? Why did you have to go missing leaving me alone to search for you! You should have taken me....." Continuing the conversation with an invisible partner, I finished the job of replacing the wheel in a small amount of time. I then jumped on the bike and peddled off towards town as fast as my legs could take me to search Shikyo's favorite hangouts.

~Later that day~

After an exausting 12 hours of searching the town inside and out I began to bike back towards my house slowly. I passed many fancy large two story houses with humongus yards of lush green grass. How I wished I lived in one of those beautiful houses, so much room and luxury. Living like a Queen. I was brought back to life by the loud honks of a car, I spun my head facing the front to see a car heading strait for me. I swirved towards the sidewalk, loosing controle quickly I fell of the bike and skidded on the sidewalk.

"Owwwwww......" I rubbed my elbows seeing fresh new scrapes and scratches etched into my flesh. I merely sighed in exhaustion and proceeded on my way home. The going was slow but I made it home in one piece. I never thought I would be so happy to see my house in all my life. Walking up the path I noticed a black cat on the porch in front of the door. It was creepy the way it stood erect with it's eyes staring at me, like it was looking into my soul. I walked more carefully this time hoping the feline would get scarred and vanish into the bushes, instead it just sat there gazeing at me with unblinking eyes. The eyes where what frightened me most, it's left was emrald green while the other was a bright blood red. Not only that but the tips of it's tail, paws, and ears were bright red.

"Uhhhh....hehe...hello kitty?" I walked a few a steps towards the cat again, but it still didn't move. I was an armlength away before I squated down to the animal's level.

"Hey little cat....you wanna go home?"

It still didn't move.

"Umm....do you want to move?"

Still it stayed where it was.

"Do you want to come inside?" I said a little unshure.

"Meow."

"I guess that means yes huh...."

"Mreow."

"And I bet you're hungry too...."

"Mow!"

"Hmmm.....ok.....but ya' got to move aside so I can get in ok?"

"Meow."

The cat moved into the shadows while I fished out the key from my purse. Finding the holy key I opened the door, relief filled my body when I walked into my house. I closed the door behind me forgetting the cat totally untill I turned around to see it sitting starring at me again.

"Eep! Oh....hello kitty! Ummm....let me get you some milk while I go take a shower. Do you think you can keep from ruining anything? If you do my mom will kill me....."

I petted the cat's head a little scared, then went off in search of milk. I grabbed a bowl from the shelf and poured the last of the milk from the large plastic jug. Setting it down I started off towards my room to change for my shower. After getting in my amazingly messy room I found my pajamas and towl. I seized my clothing and went off to the shower glad that I could finally relax. I undressed and climbed into the tub turning on the water. After taking a nice ten minute shower I walked towards the hamper that held my clean clothes I had brought. Pulling on my shirt I noticed that I had forgot to take off my necklace. When I finished putting on my pajama outfit I walked back to my room drying out my hair. The bed felt like heaven when I laid upon it towl and all.

"Ahhhh. Nice comfy bed. Mmmmmm....."

"Meow."

"AAAHHHHH!" I jolted upwards and turned my head to see the cat once again behind me. "Little kitty....you're going to have to stop scarring me like that! I could of had a heart attack!"

"Meeeow."

"Well.....let me get you a blanket and then we can go back to sleep."

"Meow."

I walked back to the bathroom oppening one of the large cabinets and fished around untill I found a nice fuzzy warm blanket. When I got back to my room I found the kitten in the middle of my bed sitting as it's tail flicked around, like it had a mind of it's own.

"Hey kitty. Found a nice blanket for you." I put the blanket asaide as I got in bed, the cat moved upwards to my head. That was when I noticed something on the covers, a headband. It was dark blue with red diamond shapes in a strait line across it. "Did you bring me this litle kitty?"

"Meow."

"Thank you. I love it." I pulled on the headband and was happy to find out it fit really well. "Let's get some rest." I drawed the covers up to my chin and turned onto my

*~*

Once more I was in the horrid void of black with no one beside me. Again I yelled out to hear no reply and no echo. Then I saw a gleam of gold a few feet away from me. I jogged towards it, cautiously approching the flaxen glimmer before my feet. I reached forward a little unshure if I should even try to touch the light. Slowly wrapping my fingers around a cold metal circle, I stood up to observe it better. The light suddenly faded to a dull gleam to reveal in my hands the millennium ring. I was baffled at why such a uniquely rare item would be lying around in this place of bleak terror. A cold breeze sweeped by my legs sending a chill up my spine. I shivered wondering why there was a breeze when there was nothing and no one there. Then I heard something, laughter. Quiet at first, then rising in volume to where it echoed everywhere. It wasn't like the laughter from hearing a joke.....it sounded evil and twisted. Slowly a puple mist filled the area blacking out my site of everything, I couldn't even see my hand infront of me. That was when I felt something tickling my cheeks slightly, I froze.

"You should really learn to losen up more."

Out of the mist behind me appeared a figure. Unfortunatly the only part of them I could see was their arms, but they still kept their hands on my cheeks.

"So my little escape artist, have you been a good girl lately?"

By the persons voice I could tell it was a boy, but it seemed oddly familiar. I was about to turn my head when his hands touched my cheeks fully and he began to rub them with his thumbs gently.

"You've been a bad little kitten haven't you......"

My face burned with embarrassment from the things this boy was saying. Never in my life had a boy treated me or said anything in the manner like he was doing right now. I felt the hands leave my face, relief filled my brain. That's when I felt his arms wrap themselves around my neck loosely and his head rest on top of mine.

"You know something my kitten.....you remind me so much of my other half."

"W-w-what?"

"Nothing.....but I still have to punish you for running away like that."

"What are you talking about."

"When you ran away from the shop. It took me hours to find you, but at last I have."

He hugged me close to his body lovingly.

"W-who are you?"

"You already know me."

"What?"

He kissed the top of my head tenderly and released me. I turned around to see nothing but the creepy purple mist.

"Behind you."

I spun around to see the outline of the boy concealed by purple fog.

"Hahaha.....we will meet again. This I promise you."

Slowly his outline vanished from the haze.

"WAIT!" I began to run in the direction he had disappeared from.

"I knew you couldn't stand being alone. Don't worry, wake up and we'll meet again." The ere voice stated.

"Wake up? What do you mean wake up? Come back! I want to ask you some questions!"

*~*

My eyes snapped open in suprise and fear as I could feel the cold sweat drip down my face. I noticed that I was no longer in my own comfy bed, but in some foreign bed of silken fabric. I noticed my arms and hands had been treated from the wounds I had recieved from the accident that had occured earlier on, and whoever treated me also seemed to have changed my outfit. Looking around the room I relized that this had to be a fancy place considering the wall was covered in a green velvet and the beautiful furniture.

"I see you finally awoke." I heard a boy say from behind me. I turned to see him lying down on the bed next to me.......it was Bakura.

"AH! Bakura! W-what are you doing? The bed! AH!"

"Heh....kitten got your tongue?"

"Eep."

Bakura casually raised his arms behind his head and closed his eyes. "I told you we would meet again......"
