Yugi awnsered the door and was suprised to see Henry, and even more suprised at how pale he looked.
Takato was with him though Yugi was suprised Rika wasn't with them, until he remembered how she leaft
last time.
"What's wrong?"asked Yugi.
Henry fell to his knees, Yugi catching him. Yugi's grandpa saw this and rushed over to help.
He had met Henry on his second day of training and admired the boy's amnners though at times Henry
seemed a little too well mannered but nothing to be ashamed of.
"Yugi, I need to talk to you, alone"said Henry.
Yugi looked at his grandpa who nodded. The two went up to Yugi's room where they could have
privacy.
"What is it?"asked Yugi.
"My, My Winged Dragon of Ra. This morning, it tried to posses me. I fought as hard as I could, but, but
it, it killed my little sister!"
Henry broke down into a sob, Yugi doing his best to comfrot him.
"That Egyptian God card is too dangerous, we have to get it away from Henry somehow"said Yami.
"If we try that, Ra may end up destroying us"thought Yugi.
"Henry's a good person, strong willed but his mind is far too young to be able to handle
this kind of power. There's only one thing to do, we must duel Henry in Battle City for the card.
Perhaps if we win, we'll get the cards power"
"But I'm only older then Henry by about two years, is that enough?"thought Yugi.
"Perhaps you can't control it but I think I can. I know I have a better chance then Henry.
We'll wait until Battle City to challenge him though, he needs time to recover"
Henry wiped the tears away roughly, as though he were ashamed of his tears.
"Don't worry Henry, everything will be fine"
********************************************************************************************
As Rika ordered, Yami Bakura fetched her out of school clothes. She put them on quickly, the thought of being
naked in front of this man sickened her.
"Allright,now I want some awnsers. Who are you, and why are doing this?"
"I told you, you can call me Bakura, and as for your latter question, let's just say
I took a liking to you"
Rika wasn't sure what to think of this,though for some odd reason he seemed familiar. His
voice, his eyes, his looks, everything about him seemed so, enchanting. She couldn't help
but feel attracted to Yami Bakura.
"You, really like me?"asked Rika.
"Why of course, why else would I be so willing to help?"
"You mean it? You, love me?"
"I do"
Rika knew for sure she didn't know what to do. Yami Bakura definetly
noticed a diffrence between the Naka he knew and her reincarnation.
The one he knew was so pure and gentle, however Rika seemed full of dark
thoughts and negative energy, just like he was. Besides having far more
malice in him and his longer hair, Yami Bakura wasn't all too diffrent from
his former self.
He decided to give her time, that perhaps she would go back to the ways of her former
self if he gave her time.
"I'll be back"
"Where are you going?"asked Rika.
"I have buisness to take care of. Promise not to runaway?"
Yami Bakura became a little angry when Rika didn't give a definete response, in fact
she seemed reluctant. He hid it form his face.
"Well?"asked Yami Bakura trying to keep his cool.
"Al, allright"said Rika unsuringly.
"Good, I'll see you soon"
Yami Bakura gave her a peck on the cheek before walking out.
Rika blushed, not even Ryo did that for her. She rubbed the cheek
where she was kissed as Yami Bakura leaft. It felt so gentle, perhaps
Yami Bakura was the one for her.
****************************************************************************************************
Malik snickered as Yami Bakura came up from behind his throne.
"Hello there Bakura, I'm glad you could make it"
"What did you want me here for? It better not be for a prep talk"said Yami Bakura.
"We're a lot alike Bakura, we don't like to waste time, so I'll get to the point. Rashid,
give it to him"
Rashid walked up to Yami Bakura with a dueldisk. Yami Bakura took it wonderingly.
"What's this for?"asked Yami Bakura.
"It's a Battle City dueldisk. You'll need it to enter the tournament. Defeat
the one with the Egyptian God card, and I'll deliver you my Rod, as well as the locations
of other millenium items. But only if you bring me the card. If you fail, it's no deal"
"I'm well aware of that"said Yami Bakura.
"So will you be ready? After tonight you'll only have one day for preperation"
"I'll be ready by then, count on it"
*************************************************************************************************
Suzy walked through the shadows, with no idea where she was.
"Henwy! Lopmon! Terriermon! Anybody there?"she called out.
Nothing.She fell backwards as somekind fo spirit dove for her. It missed and dissapeared into the backround.
"I don't like this place, it scawy"
*******************************************************************************************************
When Yami Bakura returned, he found Rika asleep on the couch. She looked so innocent lying there,
like she was only five years old. Yami Bakura picked her up carefuly and carried her up into his
room, placing her in his bed.
It was now pretty late at night, bedtime for most. Rika was exhausted and Yami Bakura wasn't
suprised. She was truly strong, most girls her age would've been allready defeated, and would
be simply played with and tortured by the attackers. Rika however fought on.
Yami Bakura got under the covers on the other side, and soon fell into rest.
Quite a few hours later, Rika woke up. It was night time, the light of the stars in the sky offering little
light.
Rika was quite suprised when she saw Yami Bakura sleeping there next to her. She then remembered that
she had slept on the couch.
"He really does care"thought Rika with a smile.
Sleeping, he looked gentle as well. In the darkness she couldn't tell it was regular Bakura
sleeping for the time being. She wrapped her arm around him before falling fast asleep.
Yami Bakura took over immdiately in the morning. The two were closer then ever.
Rika thanked Yami Bakura for everything, and said she loved Yami Bakura. Yami Bakura was suprised at first,
but soon was joyful. His love was back.
Rika even admmited feelings about herself she had never even shared with Rennamon.
******************************************************************************************************
It's a day later now which meant one thing:Battle City begins!
It was after school, and Kaiba's blimp was flying over, an screen projection of him as he explained
the rules of the tournament.
All the duelists were there, Yugi, Joey, Henry(with Takato), Yami Bakura(with Rika) Malik(with Rashid
and Alice) as well as other familiar faces like Rex Raptor, Weevil Underwood, and Mako Tsunami.
After the blimp went off, everyone went off for the tournament.
"Who should I face first? I better be careful, I don't want to face someone too strong
in the first match, I need a pushover"thought Henry.
"So, where to Henry?"asked Takato.
"Let's look for someone weak, I don't want to face someone strong in the very first match. Well, let's go"
Takato followed Henry as he walked off.
"Allright my rare hunters, the time's come. I want that Egyptian God card, and you had better get it to me"
said Malik telepathicly.
The rare hunters were scattered everywhere, and were on their own now. Malik held his Rod out plain
as day, the glimmering sun sparkiling upon it as though it wanted the rod to be burned.
The wind breeze was very refreshing, the water looked like something directly out of a painting over
at domino peer.
Malik has not worn the robe, but rather his regular clothing.
"Allright, I'm ready for anybody. Bring it on, Joey Wheeler's going to the top"thought Joey.
"Allright, let's do this"thought Yugi.
The puzzle thrashed around and glew.
"YUGIOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Defeating Yugi will be simple now, and then I'll get the other two God cards"thought Kaiba.
"So who are ya gonna face first?"asked Rika.
"I don't know, I think I'll wait things out for a little while"
"But why?"asked Rika.
"Let's just say I'm waiting for something"
"As soon as I find the duelist with Ra, I'll crush them in a duel"thought Yami Bakura.
Kaiba wasn't in a hurry to duel either, has he too was waiting for an Egyptian God card
to be played.
"In an hour I'll go out and crush some third rate chumps for easy olcator cards, unless
of course the Egyptian God card is played before then"thought Kaiba.
Henry didn't find anybody he wanted to duel yet. Many of them seemed busy with who knows what.
Not that he was in any kind of rush, however he wasn't gonna win by just sitting back and waiting.
He needed six locator cards. Since he started with one allready, he just needed to win five more.
Of course even after winning the cards he needed, he would still have to go through the finals.
"Henry, look!"
Two rare hunters, one who was old and was unhodded. They were mugging a duelist, stealing his card.
"Hey! Cut that out you cowards!"
"Henry, no!"
Too late, the two rare hunters spun around at the boy. Henry noticed a DuelDisk on one of their arms.
"You're a duelist!"gasped Henry.
"That's right little boy, and unless you want to be schooled I suggest you leave"
"No way! We're going to duel, here and now!"
"Henry, are you serious!"gasped Takato.
"Damn right I am, let's see how tough you are when you're dueling"said Henry,
activating his DuelDisk.
The Rare Hunter activated his as well.
*************************************************************************************************
Yami Bakura and Rika sat together on a park bench.
"Beautiful day, isn't it?"asked Yami Bakura.
"Sure"said Rika uninterested.
Yami Bakura laughed.
"I see you aren't one who cares for the weather either. We truly are much alike.
We both had good for nothing fathers"
"Of course I took care of mine"thought Yami Bakura.
"Did your dad runaway too?"asked Rika.
"Yes"lied Yami Bakura.
"I mguess we weren't good enough"
If Yam Bakura was drinking he would've spit out what he was drinking. His look became much
more serious.
"Never say that! Anyone who runs out ont heir children is a disgrace, got that! Never
blame yourself"
He couldn't beleve how passionately he spoke. He truly was in love.
"Thank you Bakura. Up until now I felt so guilty about all that"
"Anytime. Come now, enough about the past. Let's enjoy ourselves for the time being"
*************************************************************************************************************
Malik didn't want to bother with dueling "weaklings" so he sent out Rashid to get them all some locator
cards.
"Rashid should easily obtain the locator cards easily, should we need them. Of course if we get the EGyptian God
card before then, we'll have no need for the finals. I'll just have to see how this all turns out"thought Malik.
He ran his fingers through Alice's hair.
"You could become very useful to me in the future my mindslave"
He stood up and leaft her. He walked into his room, where on the wall he engraved a picture of his father.
"You may have been lower then shit, but you were still my father. Your death will be avenged, the Pharoah will
die most painfuly, I swear it"he thought.
**********************************************************************************************************
The D Reaper was not nearly as contorversial as the incidents involving Ra. Mr Wong
looked extensively for infromation on Ra, as it was involved with the kidnappings and
the death of Yamaki.
"In Egyptian times, the Winged Dragon of Ra was believed to be a God, one of destruction,
at least according to this thing. It was all dismissed as myth and nonsense. But now I wonder
with everything going on. This card may be as big of threat as a Digimon. We had better
find that card and destroy it before it takes anyone else's life"
