But Risa Imura is my own original character and therefore, no one can use her without my permission. You also can't use the main storyline of this fic without my permission.

A/N: I have to thank all reviewers before I can start this chapter. You're all the best for encouraging me to do this story. Thank you! Oh, yeah, and also, Merry late Christmas to all of you and have a Happy New Year!

Note: This story uses the original Japanese names so if you're confused which character is which. Then look at the name guide at the beginning of this chapter. Btw, 'Yugi-tachi' means Yugi and his friends.

There was a slight chill so she pulled the blankets over herself. The curtains were still blocking the sun from entering the room yet light from the hallway was still spilling into the hospital room. From the light, a dark figure could be seen sneaking into the room. Risa was only half-awake when she felt something trailing up and down her cheek; she used her hand to brush it off. Risa was still clueless that she wasn't alone in the facility. She was just content, resting on the bed, keeping her mind occupied in more pleasant dreams.

It was ten o'clock in the morning. Yugi and his friends arrived at about an hour and ten minutes earlier. They didn't want to disturb her sleep, so they're currently hanging out in the waiting room until she wakes up. Honda and Jounouchi went to the cafeteria to buy some snacks from a vending machine. Anzu didn't get enough sleep last night, so she was resting her head on the arm of the chair she was sitting on. Yugi's jacket was used as a blanket unbeknownst to her. Yugi just watched as Anzu slept and waiting at the same time. All were accounted except for one particular person...

Risa breathed in and out lightly, her fingers clutching onto her pillow. Her eyebrows were furrowed together; she seemed to be having a nightmare. A tear escaped from under her closed eyelid.

That can be fixed, he thought, leaning closer to her face. He kissed her lips once, then twice.

He wasn't content on just kissing her closed lips. He wanted to taste the inside of her mouth. BAD IDEA! Just as he slipped his tongue into her mouth, he clutched onto her shoulders to deepen the kiss. Risa wasn't exactly a deep sleeper. She slowly opened her eyes and saw someone in front of her...kissing her!

With all of the strength she could muster, she slapped the stranger and screamed "PERVERT!" as loud as she possibly can.

"What was that?!" Anzu exclaimed, having heard the scream.

"I don't know, but I think it came from that girl's room," Yugi answered.

Jounouchi and Honda were just returning from the cafeteria, holding bags of chips and some packages of Pocky. They, too, heard the scream.

"Did you two hear that?" Jounouchi asked, ripping open a bag and popped some chips into his mouth.

It occurred to Anzu that someone was missing from the waiting room. There was Yugi, Jounouchi, Honda and herself. Who was she forgetting at that moment?

"Hey, where's Ryou?" she asked, when it finally dawned on her.

"YOU PERVERT! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING?!" the voice screamed.

Yugi-tachi winced at the angry voice, staring wide-eyed at the direction it came from.

Then came a stuttering and apologetic voice,"I-I'm sorry, I didn't even realize that I was kissing you!"

That nervous voice sounded awfully familiar to them...

"How could you not realize that you were kissing me?! Your tongue was inside of my mouth!"

"I really don't know why I'm even in here!" said the nervous voice.

"GET OUT! PERVERT!!!!"

Inside of the hospital room, Ryou was trying his best to duck the objects that Risa was throwing. A pillow, a blanket, then came harder objects such as a vase, a chair and a table. It's amazing how strong a girl can be when they were defiled. Luckily for Ryou, he ducked in time and most of those objects were smashed against the wall closest to him.

The door abruptly opened and the doctor with a couple of nurses behind him came into the room. The nurses ducked when they saw that a pair of heavy boots were thrown in their direction. The doctor wasn't so lucky since his nose was now bleeding and he fainted on the floor. Risa stopped when she saw that she accidentally knocked out the doctor. The nurses just sweatdropped at the pitiful sight while Risa glared daggers at Ryou.

I can't believe someone I don't even know, just stole my first kiss!!! Unforgivable! Risa thought, covering her lips with her hand.

Ryou just sweatdropped at how angry she looked, throwing his hands up in defense. He chuckled nervously and apologized over and over again.

"I'm really sorry for what I did to you," he said seriously, politely bowing to her. "But I really wasn't aware that I was kissing you."

Risa didn't say anything, she was just too angry to utter out any word. She huffed in and out like she was going to blow up at any moment. Some of the nurses put an arm around her and coaxed her to calm down. They knew of her condition and being angry wasn't going to help it any.

"Calm down, Miss Imura. Whatever happened already passed. He's already apologized over and over again. You shouldn't be so angry or you're gonna overexert your body," said one of the nurses.

In the waiting room, Yugi and his friends were going to walk to Risa's room when a woman, maybe in her mid-twenties came up to them. She had long dark hair tied up in a half-ponytail. Her hair trailed down her mid-back and she had a friendly face. She wore a simple gray dress and a white shirt underneath.

"Excuse me," she addressed them. "Yesterday, someone called me from this hospital. She said that my niece was currently staying here. Were any of you, by any chance, the ones who brought her here?" She looked hopefully at Yugi-tachi.

"Does she have short auburn hair?" Yugi asked.

"Well, here's a picture of her," she said, showing an old picture that she dug out of her purse.

Yugi-tachi looked at the picture of the ten-year-old Risa, wearing a little sailor-style schoolgirl uniform. She looked like she was standing in front of a playground. There were some swings and a huge slide in the background. The little girl's hair was longer and it was up in pigtails. She smiled and looked like she was waving at the camera.

"This does sort of look like her," Yugi said, handing the picture back to her.

"She was adorable," Anzu said, smiling at the woman.

The woman smiled at that comment, looking at the old picture of her niece. It's been a while since she saw her favorite niece.

"Arigatou," she said, smiling back. "Her name is Imura, Risa. Do you know where her room is?" she asked.

To be continued...

Okay, that was a short chapter. This chapter was just for some humor and some foreshadowing. It wasn't the chapter where she goes to Domino high school, like I said it would be. That will be in the next chapter. Maybe you could predict the outcome of this story, if you paid close attention to the foreshadowing. Although, it is hard to identify the foreshadowing parts. Sometimes, they're subtle. Interaction between Kaiba and Risa in the next chapter.

Chapter 4: Going to School -Sui, Risa's aunt tries to persuade her to rest for a few days until her feet heals. Risa stubbornly refuses and goes to school where she is grumpy for the day because Ryou is there. Then she meets Kaiba, the cocky and mean-spirited billionaire.
