Chapter 2.
Ryou's Memories
It was lunch time and Ryou didn't feel like sitting with his friends today. He went to an empty lunch table and sat down, he pulled out his luch and began to eat it slowly. He sat down and looked down at the sandwhich he was eating. He wasn't very hungry. Lunch time was normally one of his favorite times because he could sit down with his friends and play Duel Monsters with them. But today he didn't want to play cards, he didn't want to sit with his friends, well, not all of them, he didn't want to eat. He just wanted to go back to his past. And so he did. While he relieved the moments, he never noticed the person watching him with quiet concern.
["Class, this is Bakura, Ryou, he will be your new class mate. Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself" Mr. Sensei said.
"Well, I came over here from Britian, and I love to make new friends." Ryou said.
"Well that's nice, so why don't you go sit right over there, behind Ms. Gardner." Mr. Sensei said.
Ryou looked over to where Mr. Sensei had pointed. He soon realized that it was the same girl he had bumped into the other day. He gave a small smile and walked over to her. "Hello, Tea, right?" He asked cautiously.
"Yeah, and your Rouy right?" She asked with a little giggle.
"No, my name is Ryou." He said a tad bit dissapointed that she had forgotten his name.
"I know that, I'm only teasing you. Remember, you called yourself Rouy?"
Ryou thought about it for a second and gave himself another mental slap. "Oh yeah. I guess I was just a little rattled from bumping into you." He said.
"I guess so. Well it's good to see you agai..." Tea started but got interupted by Mr. Sensei.
"Ms. Gardner, Mr, Bakura, you too aren't going to stand around and talk all day are you?" he asked sternly.
"No Mr. Sensei, I'm sorry." Tea said
"I'm sorry too" Ryou said a tad bit embarrased. Ryou took his seat, and started giving himself more and more mental head slaps. 'I have to be more focused,' he thought. 'What's with me anyway? I had some friends who were girls back in Britain. But, this girl, Tea, she is the prettiest girl I have ever seen. I would really like to get to know her better. I think she would be a great friend.' Ryou sat throughout the last of the class. He went through his next class and then he went to lunch. At lunch he was looking for somewhere to sit when he heard some one calling his name. He looked forward and saw Tea waving her hand at a few tables a head of him.
"Ryou would you like to sit with us?" Tea called.
"That would be great." Ryou said. He walked over to them and sat down.
"So who's your friend Tea?" A kid who was on the short side with crazy tri- colored hair asked.
"This is my friend Ryou. I bumped into him on the way over to the Game Shop the other day. Ryou this is Yugi."
"It's nice to meet you Yugi." The name suddenly clicked in Ryou's mind. "THE YUGI!" The only duelist to ever defeat Seto Kaiba in a duel?
"Yeah, that's me" Yugi said a bit embarresed by the fame.
Suddenly a kid with blond hair came right up in front of Yugi. "Yeah, and I'm Joey! I'm Yugi's main man. I've got his back, we're best buds."
Ryou had his hand behind his head and was laughing nervously "Hehe, it's nice to meet you Joey."
"And this is Tristan" Tea said.
A kid with point at the tip of his hair came up to shake Ryou's hand. "It's nice to meet you." Tristan said mimicing Ryou's funny accent.
"Yeah, it's, nice to meet you too." Ryou said a bit dissapointed that he was being picked on.
"Tristan that's not nice!" Tea said speaking up for Ryou. Ryou suddenly brightened up.
"Sorry man." Tristan said embarrased.
"It's ok, I guess." Ryou said.
"So Ryou, do you play Duel Monsters?" Yugi asked.
"Well, yes. But I don't know if I would be able to beat you Yugi."
"You never know until you try." Yugi said happily.
"Alright then," Ryou said. He pulled his deck out from his pocket and shuffled it a few times. He set it down and they drew their cards. A few minutes later, the players were at the last of their life points.
Ryou: 500
Yugi: 900
"Wow you're pretty tough Ryou, But I'm sorry to say that the game is over. I summon my Dark Magician to the field. And I attack your White Magicial Hat to end the game."
"Wow, you are good Yugi. I was no match for you." Ryou said.
"You did pretty good Ryou. Don't be so hard on yourself." Yugi said nicely. He put his cards away and Ryou did the same. "Do you want to come to my Grandpa's shop after school with us?
"I don't know, my Dad might worry about me." Ryou responded
"Well if you can we would love to see you there." Yugi said. Just then the bell for the end of lunch rang and they all got ready and left. The rest of the day went by pretty fast for Ryou. He got home and saw another note on the kitchen table. Ryou read the note.
Ryou, I had to travel down to egypt for a few days. I'll call you when I get there. I love you son, Dad.
"Hmmm, Well I guess I'll get to go to the game shop after all." Ryou said pleased. He went upstairs to change and then went off on his way. When he got to the game shop he opened the door and went inside. "Hello, is anybody here?" Ryou called out.
"I'm behind the counter," called a thick elderly voice. Ryou went up to the counter and looked over it. There he saw an old man sitting on the floor gasping for breath. Ryou quickly went around the counter to go help him.
"Are you ok sir?" Ryou asked concerned for the elderly man's health.
"It's this darn box." He said. "I've been trying to get it out from this tight area for 5 minutes now but I just can't do it."
"Would you like me to help you?" Ryou asked politely.
"That would be great!" The old man said. He then got up and him and Ryou each pulled on the box. It came out suddenly and the both fell on the ground. "Thank you young man. What's your name?"
"I'm Ryou."
"I'm Solomon Moto, I run this game shop. That box was just too heavy for an old coot like me, HAHAHA" Solomon said laughing. Just then Tea came out from a door behind them.
"Are you ok, I heard some one fall and I came out to check." Tea said concerned.
"This young man just helped me get this darned box out of the corner." Solomon said.
Tea looked over and realized who Solomon was talking about. "Oh hi Ryou. So you did come after all. That's great. The others are in back."
"Do you need anymore help sir?" Ryou asked.
"No thank you I'm ok now. You go off and have a good time." And with that he got up and went to digging aroung inside the box. Ryou went in back with Tea where he was greated by the rest of the gang.
"Hello everyone" Ryou said. Ryou was greated by everyone. "So what do you all do when you come over here?" Ryou asked curiously.
"Well, we study for a while, and then we take a break and play Duel Monsters. Then we go back to do a bit more studying and then we all go home." Yugi responded.
"Hmmm, interesting. I don't think I'll be too helpful with the studying at first seeing as how I just moved here" Ryou said while giving a small laugh.
The group all had to sort of laugh at that. The rest of the group minus Ryou all did a bit of studying and then they all got out their cards and started dueling. They all had a bit of a tournament. The Ranks were, Tristan vs. Joey, Ryou vs. Tea, and whoever beat the others got to face Yugi. Yugi had wanted to actually participate but because he had defeated Kaiba he was told that he had to face the winner of the others. Joey easily beat Tristan. Ryou was about to defeat Tea but he ended up forfeiting the match to her.
"Why did you give up Ryou?" Tea asked
"Well, I guess I just couldn't beat you. So instead of taking longer I stopped. Excuse me, may I please use the bathroom Yugi?"
"Yeah it's right down there." Yugi said pointing it out to him.
Ryou went to the bathroom and when he was finished he picked up his cards and watched the duel between Joey and Tea. Tea beat Joey but Ryou could see that Tea was just better than Joey. Tea then went on to duel Yugi and Yugi just overpowered her. Ryou tried to cheer her up. "It's ok Tea, you did your best."
"Yeah, your right." Tea said cheerfully.
"Well I guess I had better get going. I need to get home after all."
"Do you need anyone to walk with you?" Tea asked
Ryou suddenly felt weak. Tea, was asking to walk with him. "Um, uh, as long as you don't mind." Ryou said, stuttering, a lot!
"Ok." Tea got her jacket and they walked out into the game part of the house.
"Are you leaving so soon?" Solomon asked.
"Yeah, I have to get home." Ryou said.
"I have a quick question. Do you like to play Duel Monsters?" Solomon asked curiously.
"Yes. It's a fun game." Ryou replied. "Why?"
"Don't tell Joey I did this but..." Solomon handed Ryou two booster packs of Duel Monsters cards, "...this is for helping me with that box."
"Oh I couldn't ecept these. I didn't help you in the hopes of gaining a reward." Ryou said. He tried to hand them back to Solomon but he wouldn't take them back.
"I know you didn't, but I felt that I had to thank you in some way. Go ahead. Take them. Yugi and his friends get the occasional discounted packs and that's just because Yugi is my Grandson. So here, you take those. You earned them."
Ryou could tell Solomon wouldn't take no for an answer. "Well thank you sir. That was really nice of you."
"No problem. Have a good night." Solomon said waving good bye to them.
"That was really nice of Yugi's grandpa," Ryou said.
"Mr. Moto is a really nice man," Tea said. "Well aren't you going to open them?" she asked eagerly.
"No, I think I'll wait till I get home. I'm enjoying the nice air."
"So where are you from in Britain?" Tea asked curiously.
"Well, I came from a nice little neibborhood. No where near as city like as Domino. We had a city but we had more trees and regular houses than Domino does."
"It sounds like a nice place. Did you have many friends over there?"
"Yes, I had a few friends. They were all nice people. I'll miss them but I guess I can still stay in touch with them."
"I think you'll like it here in Domino." Tea said.
Ryou looked over towards Tea and he smiled. "You know, I think you're right Tea." They walked a little bit longer, Ryou told her some of the must see places if she ever went to Britain.
"Well, if I ever go there I would make sure you were there with me. And then you could show me all the cool spots." Tea said.
Ryou beamed with happiness, "Of course, I would love to take you." He noticed Tea give a smile and he couln't help but smile also. Juust then he noticed that he was home. "Oh looks like we're here. Um, would you like to come in, and maybe, have a drink?" he asked hopefully.
"No it's getting late. I better just get going home. It is kinda chilly so I better get going..." Ryou quickly slipped off his jacket and handed it to Tea. "huh?"
"Go ahead, take my jacket Tea, you can give it back to me tommorow."
"Are you sure" Tea asked uncertantly.
"Absolutly," Ryou said, then smiling he added, "I won't take no for an answer."
Tea laughed at him. "All right. Well, I'll see you tomorow." She said waving.
"Goodbye Tea" Ryou said waving back.
"Good Bye Ryou"]
"Ryou? Ryou? Are you awake?" Tea said looking down at Ryou.
"Hmm?" He looked up and realized that Tea was shaking his shoulder. "Yes Tea, I'm awake. I was just thinking. That's all."
"Do you mind if I ask what you were thinking of?" She asked wondering.
"Well, I was thinking of the first time we met. Do you remeber that day?"
"Yeah. I guess you could say we bumped into each other for the first time then," she said winking.
"Tea, I have a question for you, it doesn't come easily for me to ask but..." Just then the bell rang for the end of lunch. "Oh no, well, could you come by my house after school today? I'll ask you then."
"Ok. I'll see you then." She said as she took off.
"Good bye." Ryou said. And with that he walked off to his next class.

"Yeah it's right down there." Yugi said pointing it out to him.

"Good Bye Ryou"]
