Chapter 1: The Stranger and the Rain
It was a slightly, cloudy morning in Domino, Japan; one could feel the cool calm
breeze which sometimes turned into a sudden burst of wind and then again went
into a serene calm. The sun shone a glimmer on the trees' leaves with some having
the occasional morning due and tiny drops of water hanging off the leaf from the
rain from the day before. A few birds flew by in the sky chirping their little songs in
the springtime air. At Sakado Apartments, there lay sleeping in a seemingly
unfurnished room with crème colored walls and an oak wood border, a young boy
with spiky white hair, fair skin, a slightly built body, and a slight smile upon his
angelic face. He lay sleeping peacefully on a grayish couch, the blue with yellow
stars blanket covering half his body and slightly drooping downwards towards the
tan brown carpet. To the left of the couch, there were duck taped shut cardboard
boxes of various sizes each equipped with permanent marker which labeled
whatever the boxes contained. The sleeping boy began to stir; he yawned and
stretched. His chocolate brown eyes slowly opened. The boy's name was Ryou
Watanabe and he had just moved to Domino City to start school tomorrow in
college; he was a freshman and tomorrow would be the first day so he didn't
transfer in the middle of the semester. (Yawn) He sat up in bed and stretched
and then rubbed one sleeve of his navy blue pajamas over his left eye. Ryou
drowsily looked at the cluster of cardboard boxes to his left and smiled sheepishly.
"Hmm, I've been here for two weeks and still I haven't been able to unpack my
belongings. Then again, my new job has been keeping me rather occupied." "Well,
there's no excuse now." With that, Ryou brushed his teeth, took a shower, and
dressed in a casual white t-shirt and blue jeans. He went to his fridge and had a
quick breakfast of a cinnamon swirl bagel with cream cheese and a glass of juice
then afterwards he gargled and started working on unpacking his stuff and
setting it up into his apartment. He took a break at lunch, had a sandwich with
some water, and finished up. He went to work at 2:00 p.m.-7:00p.m He parked
his car in the parking lot and started walking towards the apartment. It was
drizzling, but he made it in just fine. Just as he had his hand above the doorknob of
his door to the apartment, he heard a sound. He looked down the hallway to his
left. A few doors down, he heard banging on a door and someone's voice in
complaint and anger. "Hmm, I wonder what's wrong." Ryou walked over and
went to investigate. His eyes widened slightly in surprise when he saw what he
came across. A tall, fair skinned young man, appearing to be twenty-two, with
white-hair similar to Ryou's except the spikes were wilder than his and chocolate
brown eyes not as big as Ryou's; his body was more built than Ryou's as well.
He was frowning and had a scowl on his face; he wore a black shirt, black jeans,
and leather with sleeves, trench coat that was open; he also wore a pair of black
rimless glasses that made him have an intellectual appearance. He also appeared to
be soaking wet since he had caught the downpour of the rain. "Stupid manager", he
mumbled. He felt someone's presence and turned his head to see a slightly
surprised Ryou looking at him. Ryou blinked and when his and the other boy's
eyes met. Ryou's heart skipped a beat. He slightly blushed, but shook it away
("That was weird") Ryou thought to himself. The other boy turned to face Ryou.
"Yes? Can I help you?" asked the stranger in a serious tone. "Um, I heard
something and went to see what it was and I can see that you are having trouble
with something," Ryou replied. "Oh, well the manager was supposed to give me a
key, I just moved in and went to get into my apartment, but the blasted man
doesn't seem to be here and neither is the clerk. He said he'd tell the janitor to
leave my door opened incase he wasn't here, but as you can see, my door is
locked and I have no way of entering my apartment," explained the stranger. He
sighed and crossed his arms over his chest and remained silent looking at his
apartment door. There was a moment of silence and Ryou pondered for a minute.
"I know," Ryou said breaking up the silence, "You can stay in my apartment, I
have a guest room. You can spend the night there and tomorrow morning you can
get your key from the clerk at the front desk and then you can finally enter your
apartment. The stranger remained silent for a few seconds thinking about the young
man's offer. "He smiled slightly, and said, "Why thank you, I'll do that, if you don't
mind." "No, not all," Ryou replied smiling. "This way," Ryou said and started
walking back to his apartment with the stranger following. They both entered
Ryou's apartment and then Ryou closed then locked the door. At once he noticed
that all the stranger was carrying with him was a suitcase and a briefcase. The
stranger looked at Ryou and then said "The movers are scheduled to bring the rest
of my things tomorrow." "Well let me show you, to your room Ryou said and he
led the stranger to the guest room, "Oh, by the way, I don't think I quite caught
your name, what is it?" "My name is Bakura Sanada," the older boy answered.
"My name's Ryou Watanabe," Ryou replied bowing. "Nice to meet you," Bakura
said bowing as well in his usual serious tone. "Likewise," Ryou beamed smiling.
"Thanks for letting me stay the night," Bakura said. "No problem, and there's fresh
towels in the closet near the restroom incase you want to dry yourself." "Thank
you," Bakura replied and then he went to the bathroom with his suitcase to dry
off and changed into a pair of black, silky pajamas. He walked to the living room
where he saw Ryou watching "Whose Line is it anyway" while eating some ice
cream. He was wearing green pajamas now. Suddenly Ryou looked away from the
T.V. and saw Bakura standing there. He invited Bakura to come and watch with
him and eat some ice cream as well. Bakura accepted his invitation and sat down
with Ryou to watch some T.V. ant to also eat the ice cream. They both enjoyed
watching the comical antics of the show and afterwards they both, washed their
bowls and spoons, brushed their teeth and went off to their rooms to go to bed.
