Well, here's my second chapter. I ended the first one kind of abruptly.
Sorry for that. Well, here it is. Enjoy!

{I see no point in this...} Raen raised her head to look at the sky that glittered full of stars above her. She sighed. It will end the same. As the others.The Essence looked at her oddly.
{And why not? Just because you have seen a boy and saved him?} The Essence glided closer, her pale blue eyes glittering malevolently. Raen shook her head.
{It's not that. It's just... just that I don't want to hurt anyone anymore.} Raen finished, closing her eyes and leaning back on the pond's bank. The Essence glared at her, but did not press that matter any further. Raen sighed, rolling over. She inspected the Essence for a moment. {What now?}
{Oh. Nothing. Just...} The Essence grinned. Raen looked at her unhappily. {Weekends and nights.}
{WHAT?! No! Aren't nights and Sundays enough?} Raen sat up quickly. She narrowed her eyes, considering this for a moment. {Fine. But if I have something going on, you have to leave.} The Essence looked contented. She smiled gently to herself, sitting down next to Raen.
{I'm glad you agree. Because I've met someone...} Raen cast a quizzical glance at the Essence.
{You? Meet someone? Give me a break. If anything, it would be a mass murderer.} Raen scoffed. She brushed her hand along the back of her neck.
{Well. Ex-mass murderer.} The Essence returned with a shrug. Raen rolled her eyes.
{I thought one was good enough for you. How many so far? First, there was the psychotic, then those alcoholic twins, the man obsessed with needles, the man that smoked and beat little children, not to mention me, and that other man. What was the most recent one again?}
{Oh, just a guy that beat all woman unmercifully.} The Essence said carelessly. Raen winced.
{I still have bruises from him.} Raen said, standing up. {I better get to school. Don't want to be late.} As Raen walked away, she could feel the Essence's glare burning into her back.

"Children, I would like to introduce Miss Raen Nitokaru," the teacher droned. There were a few 'hello's' and 'hi's', but the class remained mainly placid. Ryou was about the only one who recognized the silver-haired girl.
{Ryou. You aren't doing anything tonight, are you?} Bakura inquired.
{No, why?} Ryou thought it odd that his Yami would have any plans.
{Well, I was just wondering if I could borrow our body. For a while.}
Ryou hesitated. {I guess so... but no drunks this time!}
{Don't worry. No drunks.} Bakura returned to his own mind chamber just as the teacher wrapped her yardstick across Ryou's desk.
"Mr. Bakura! Pay attention!" the old crone scolded. She hobbled back up to the front of the room, muttering. "You will be joining me in detention after school. Is that clear?" she snapped.
"Yes, ma'am," Ryou said, lowering his eyes to his desk. He would have to think about his Yami's sudden need for his body later.
