Summary
Months after Battle City has ended, Ryou Bakura's days still seem empty and alone. But, when he meets Dani, his life begins to change...but there are more secrets hidden in the shadows of which he is unaware of....yet.

Last Chapter (chapter 3)

Dani had invited Ryou to a cafe after school. Ryou was confused as to why she wanted him to meet her there, but he went anyway. He was in for a shock when he listens to Dani sing a song with the most beautiful voice he's ever heard before. After the show, he walked her home, only to catch a glimpse of what seems to be a large bruise on her left arm. He kept it to himself with so many questions running through his mind.

Now on to chapter Four!(you know the drill with the japanese)

Chapter 4: Does the News Channel Lie?; Is It a Match?
"Gaaaah!!!" a young man screamed as he was thrown against the wall. He was about to lock up his jewlery store for the night when a dark figure bursted in and flung him across the room like magic. The jewlery in the glass shelves shook as he thrusted the wall.

"Hueh heh heh...Thank you for letting me in," the figure spoke in a dark female voice,"Now lets see here..."

"N-No!! You can't take the jewlery!!" the young man demanded; His back starting to bleed.

"Urusei!!" she commanded. She rose her left arm up and there was a small band of light shine across it from the moonlight behind her. But then a sudden burst of gold light shot out from it and flew across the room to the man's mouth. An odd band of light covered his mouth so he was silenced. "Hueh heh...That's better.."

The female figure walked in more, peering through the glass shelves at all the jewlery. The store was dark. Pitch black. The only light was from the front windows where the moonlight shone through, but it didn't illuminate the whole room. It was also raining outside. Pouring hard, and the lightning flashed sparks of anger. The young man watched the figure with frightened, helpless eyes as his back bled onto the floor. He could stand up, or at least try to, but he stayed motionless. He knew that there was more to this person than just a theif. The was much more. There had to be, for he was not grabbed by the figure then thrown....He was pushed by a force he couldn't describe.

As the figure looked into the shelves, an angry look was on her face, hidden in the shadows. She growled,"Kuso...There HAS to be one here!!"

Once the figure had checked all the shelves she growled and kicked one of them, the glass shattering into pieces with a loud crash. The young man flinched, covered his ears,and shut his eyes, praying the madness would stop. But as he kept his eyes closed, he was unaware of the figure walking up to him. When the man thought the figure was gone, he opened his eyes slowly, only to see the figure right before him. His eyes widened and he gave a muffled yell, removing his hands off his ears. He clung to the wall while the figure kneeled down. The man's legs were spread apart and the figure kneeled between them, smirking. She leaned closer, placing her hands on his chest, and licked his cheek. The man froze in fear and confusion. She leaned in more and whispered in his ear.

"Mmm...You know..Maybe I should have went easy on you," she cooed, nuzzling his ear, "You do look kinda sexy...And you look like you would have been good, too...hueh heh.."

The man looked disgusted but was still in fear. The figure pulled away from his ear, after licking it, and smirked at him. He still couldn't see her face in the dark, but it was as though she could see his. Her right hand then slid up his chest to his shoulder and her fore finger swiped across his bloody back. She pulled her hand back and licked his blood off her finger.

"Mmm...You taste good, too...Hueh heh heh..."

She stood up and looked down at the man who was still motionless with fear. The figure gave him one last smirk and turned away, walking towards the doors. The man felt almost relieved that she was leaving but then she stopped and he perked up. She stood there, staring at the doors. Aside from the rain, there were no sounds heard. The room, still dark, had a red blinking light in the top corner of the room. The figure looked and glared at it, a camera that was recording everything. She pulled her left arm up and, again, it gave a quick shine of light. Then it started to glow showing the whole arm but the man couldn't see it from his angle. After a moment, the glowing faded and the figure walked out of the store. The man's mouth was freed from the band of light and he took deep breaths, looking around at his destroyed jewlery store.

The next morning in Domino High, everything seemed the usual. The students were chatting away as though they never talked in all their life. The only one in the classroom who was silent was Ryou. He didn't want to talk and didn't have to. He just sat in his seat, reading a book called Darkness in the Light. A book he could relate to. Just when he was about to turn the page, the teacher walked in and ordered the class to quiet down. Ryou book marked his page, closed it, and payed attention to the teacher.

"Minna-san, I was just informed by the principal that we have to watch something that is being shown on the news. He feels it's important for our students to be warned about what has happened last night." The students looked at the teacher confused and whispered to the people next to them. "Do not question why," he started again, "Just pay atte-"

The teacher was cut short by someone entering the classroom late. The whole class looked to the doors to see Dani standing there panting. She bowed to the teacher.

"Gomen nasai, sensei," she told him, standing back up,"My alarm was broken.."

The teacher sighed irritably and gestured her to sit down."I'll give you your punishment later, we have something important to watch."

As Dani rushed to her desk, the teacher went out the door and came back in, pushing a television into the room. While doing so, the students whispered to eachother wondering what was so important. After the teacher plugged in the television, he turned it on and flipped to a news channel; Domino News, Channel eight. The students then hushed down and the teacher shut the lights off in the room. The anchor woman came on and started to speak after the sports section was over.

"Arigatou, Koda-san," she started, straightening her papers and brushing her long, black hair back once with her hand,"And now onto our top story. Local jewlery store, Shouri's Beauties, had a break in, last night, just as the store owner, Taka Kasai, was locking up. The shocking thing about this is there was a camera in the store that records everything..But what it recorded last night confused all the police." The students looked confused. "The video that we are about to show you is from the camera in the jewlery store last night..it WILL shock you in a confusing matter.."

The students leaned foreward, wanting to get out of their suspense. The television screen changed to a black and white camera view of the jewlery store. Walking up to the doors was Taka Kasai, the owner, with keys in his hand.Taka reached for the door handle but it looked like the door swung open on it's own and he jumped back. His voice was heard, "Wh-who are you?! Get out!" Suddenly he was lifted into the air, like floating, and thrown across the room, hitting the wall and sliding down to the floor while he screamed. The students gasped; One girl shrieked. Ryou and Yugi's eyes widened. But then, another voice was heard. It wasn't Taka's, it was some female voice. A dark female voice. "Hueh heh heh..Thank you for letting me in," it spoke,"Now lets see.."
Taka's voice,"N-No!! You can't take the jewlery!!"
The voice again,"Urusei!!" and then a sudden band of light flew out from the center of the room to Taka's mouth and covered it.. "Hueh heh..That's better.."

There was some silence; The only sound heard was footsteps. But it baffled everyone in the room because there was no one in the store, only Taka on the floor against the wall. There were no shadows from the moonlight shining in part of the store. Hands slapping on the glass shelves and more footsteps were heard. Taka sat motionless on the floor, but his head following the supposed burglar.

The voice was heard again,"Kuso..There HAS to be one here!!" After one moment, the glass shelf looked as though it shattered itself suddenly. More gasps, and more girls shrieking in the classroom were made. Taka covered his ears and shut his eyes but footsteps were heard again then stopping. Taka opened his eyes and gave a muffled yell, taking his hands off his ears. Then he clung to the wall and sat motionless with fear, his head following the movements of the supposed burglar. Then the class could see his shirt ruffled a bit as though hands were on his chest. Then he winced.

The voice was heard again,"Mmm...You know..Maybe I should have went easy on you," it said, cooing,"You do look kinda sexy...And you look like you would have been good, too...hueh heh.."

Taka was then looking disgusted but still afraid. His shirt by his shoulder was ruffled and the blood on his back could be seen. Some students winced.

The voice spoke again,"Mmm...You taste good, too...Hueh heh heh..."

Few moments later, Taka looked a bit relieved. Then he perked up again. The camera lens shook slightly then stopped. The doors flew open again and closed, leaving Taka in the room alone. The screen turned back to the news anchor and the students in the classroom has their jaws dropped. Yugi and Ryou were suspicious but shocked none the less. Dani was terrified.

"...Police said Taka said he couldn't make out what the person looked like in the dark. All he knew was that it was a female who did not steal anything. Also, he said she might have had something on her arm because at one point, it was glowing. Taka was taken to the hospital afterward for his back wounds..." she paused."Police say it might have been a teenager by the voice and will be coming to the schools in Domino to record their voices to match them with that of the theif's...More on this story at five.."

The teacher shut the television off and turned the lights back on. With a bewildered expression on his face, he turned to the class. "..They will be here later to record all female voices. I trust that it wasn't one of YOU..who caused this.."

The girls in the classroom gasped and looked nervous. Some spoke up.

"But I didn't do it."

"Me neither."

Anzu spoke up as well,"This is rediculous. Why would they think WE did it?" The other girls agreed. Dani sat quietly, messing with her white heart bracelet.

"Girls, settle down, please," the teacher ordered and they complied, quieting down. "It's a one out of a hundred, or more, chance that one of our students did that. I doubt it was any of you."

After a few hours, the girls from different classrooms headed down the halls and to the guidence department where the voice recordings were held. Other classes had already gone before Dani's class but now it was her classroom's turn. The teacher issued the girls to go out of the classroom and start walking to the guidence department. The girls walked down as a group, chatting away as though nothing was happening. Dani was behind them all, still messing with her white heart bracelet on her right arm. She twisted it around her arm, moved it up and down, and gripped onto it hard. It was only the white one, though. She never messed with the black one. Maybe that's the reason why the black one was in perfect condition while the white one was scratched up pretty bad. Once the girls reached the guidence, they formed a line and waited to be called. The first few girls went and came back, leaving the group and going back to their classroom. Waiting on line, Anzu turned to Dani, noticing how quiet she was, and smiled at her.

"Hi, I never got to introduce myself. Watashi wa Mazaki Anzu desu."

Dani looked up at her and smiled a bit. "Hello."

Anzu looked back at the line,"Don't you think this is stupid? I mean, really, why would I break into a jewlery store? And if I ever did, why wouldn't I have stolen something?"

Dani shrugged,"I don't know.."

"And why can't they test the boys too? There ARE some guys in this school that have girlish voices." She then giggled a bit.

Dani giggled a little as well. She was cut short by a guidence counciler calling out her name. Dani gasped slightly but calmed herself down.

"Don't worry, I doubt it was you." Anzu told her, smiling.

It comforted Dani a little but she was still nervous. She walked into the office and sat down in a chair in the center of the room. Two policemen, looking to be almost her age but older, were sitting across from her behind a desk and a tape recorder. One held up a blank tape and a marker. "Name?"

"Danirure."

He wrote it down,"Last name?"

Dani tensed up a bit," I do not like to reveal my last name.."

The one policeman looked at her suspiciously through his sunglasses then looked at his partner. His partner gave a "It doesn't matter" hand gesture and he placed the tape in the recorder.

"Now," the partner spoke,fixing his hat,"All you need to say is "My name is, your name, and I am innocent."."

Dani nodded and the other policeman pressed the record button. Dani then paused a moment but finally spoke up.

"..My name is Danirure, and I am innocent..."

The one policeman stopped the tape and rewound it. The partner thanked her and told her she could leave. Dani stood up, bowed and leaved. The policeman then put the tape in a box with ones of other girls, pulled out a new tape, and called "Akuru!"

Dani walked down the hallway, heading for her classroom. She seemed nervous. She walked slowly and looked around somewhat cautiously. "Is ANYONE innocent?" she thought to herself, gripping her white heart bracelet again,"Is anyone innocent?..."

At the Domino Police Department, down town, an audio specialist was trying to match the recordings of the students' voices to the one heard in the camera of the jewlery store. On a special computer he would look at the certain sound waves of each voice and the computer would determine if there was any exact, close, or no match.

"No match for Anzu Mazaki-san," the audio specialist said disapprovingly. He brushed some of his light brown bangs out of his face and

re-adjusted his thin glasses. He took the tape and disposed of it. "Next tape."

"Ugh, this is taking forever..Here." the police man from before complained, handing him another tape. The audio specialist took it and popped it into the computer drive. He took off his hat, letting his black hair breathe.

"Stop complaining, Yoh-san,"his partner from before told him,"You're not the only one here."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, Hayashi-san," he said back, crossing his arms.

"No match for Sakura Koubashii-san," the audio specialist said, disposing the tape."Next tape."

"My girlfriend's gonna kill me.." Yoh complained, handing over another tape. Hayashi ruffled his hair and he glared

"Hosoboso ru-ki," Hayashi chuckled.

"Urusei, baka!" Yoh yelled back angrily.

"Close match!!"

Hayashi and Yoh turned to the audio specialist,"Nani?!"

He turned to them, pointing at the screen, "A close match!!"

"Of which person, Kinmu-san?!" Yoh asked.

Kinmu, the audio specialist, turned back to the computer and looked at the name under the sound wave recorder for the girl's name."...Danirure."

"..I knew it!" Yoh exclaimed.

"What do you mean?" Kinmu asked, blinking.

"That girl..she was suspicious from the start..I could feel it!"

"Oh, calm down," Hayashi said,"It's a CLOSE match. Not an exact one."

"True, but the wave patterns are so similar. Look." Kinmu spoke up, turning to the computer and pointing to the waves. "Top one is from the camera, and bottom is Danirure. Here," he pointed to a spot on both waves,"here, here,here, and here are all matches. That's alot. She could have just made her voice sound more sinister or something.."

"Good point.." Hayashi agreed.

"In order to find that out, you're going to have to record her voice again."

"Again?!" Yoh complained.

"Yes, "again"," he said mockingly,"But she needs to make her voice sould mean and evil. Think of a good sentance for her to say." Kinmu turned to the computer,"I'm making copies of this."

Yoh sighed irritably but Hayashi put a hand on his shoulder."You don't have to come," he told Yoh,"I'll handle it." Then he winked at him.

Catching the point, Yoh smirked a bit and chuckled, "You dog."

Hayashi chuckled as well, fixing his small ponytail on the lower back of his head,"Can't help it, didn't you think she was too??"

"No, I HAVE a girlfriend, remember?"

"Guys, lets be serious here.." Kinmu tried getting their attention focused on the situation.

"Alright, alright, I'll go tomorrow to the school and record her voice," Hayashi told him.

"Good," Kinmu sighed,"And please..Stay focused, will you?"

"I will, I will,"Hayashi chuckled.

The next morning in Ryou's classroom, he was sitting in his seat quietly reading his book again while the other students chatted among themselves. When the teacher walked in, everyone sat down and silenced

"Ohayo, Minna-san." he greeted them, a bit happily.

"Ohayo, sensei" the class replied.

The teacher smiled at them and turned to the board to grab a piece of chalk. "Today we'll-"

The teacher was interrupted by the voice in the speaker,"Danirure to the guidence department please."

The whole class turned to Dani who sat there blinking like a lost child. She looked around at the class staring at her suspiciously and hearing all the whispering from them. Ryou blinked, though. "..Is Dani the theif?" he thought to himself,"..No...No, that can't be. She would never do something like that...would she?" Dani looked at the teacher and blinked innocently.

"..Go on, Danirure-san.."

Dani nodded and stood up, still with everyone staring. She walked down the aisle and out the door with all the students' faces following. dani tensed up as she walked down the hallway, thinking to herself, 'Why me? Why is it always me??"

When she reached the guidence department, a counciler walked her to a room, let her in, and left her with the policeman. She sat down in the chair across from a desk and him. Hayashi, the policeman, smiled at her.

"Ohayo, Boku wa Hayashi-san desu." he told her, offering his hand across the desk.

"Ohayo.."she said a bit nervously, reaching her hand over to his. He took her hand and kissed it softly, making her blush. Then they both sat down.

"Now, the reason you are here is because when we took your voice recording and compared it to the one from the break in, it had a similar match." He handed her a printed out version of the sound wave recorder's recordings and she blinked. He leaned over and pointed out the matching spots for her. "These all match making your voice similar to that of the burglar's. But, to be completely exact, I need to record your voice again, but this time your voice has to sound...mean, evil-ish. Understand?"

Dani grew more nervous and gulped slightly. She didn't respond for a moment, but then something made her relax a bit. Dani then nodded slightly and took a deep breath.

"Okay," Hayashi said, getting the tape recorder ready,"All you have to say is "Yes, I am the one. I broke into the store." in the evil-ish voice." He turned the tape recorder on.

Dani took a moment, then spoke up, her voice sounding strange. It didn't sound like the voice from the camera's, it sounded weirder.

"Yes, I am the one. I broke into the store."

Hayashi was confused but shrugged it off and stopped the tape."That'll be all..Arigatou.."

The next day, during third period, the principal came to Dani's classroom and asked for her. The teacher complied and dani walked up and out the door. some low chattering was heard outside the door and all the students tried paying close attention. Even the teacher, who had his ear pressed against the door, tried listening in. As he saw their sihlouettes bow at eachother the teacher jerked back from the door and looked back at the chalk board as though he wasn't paying attention. Dani slid open the door and walked back in, closing it behind her. The room was silent as she walked in. She knew why. Dani sighed.

"No, it wasn't me. The police compared the second recording and there was no match."

The teacher turned around quickly."Oh, er, we never asked but that's good. You may take your seat now."

Dani rolled her eyes and giggled a bit, taking her seat. As the teacher returned to his lesson, Ryou looked at Dani questioningly.

"...You're hiding something from me..I..I can sense it.." he thought to himself.

"/...I still say she's a strip dancer./" Bakura blurted out in his soul room.

"Yami!!! Ugh.." he thought back at him. Ryou turned to the windows, seeing that it was starting to grow dark. It started to rain. The clouds were gray and the raindrops held black lies inside them that Ryou knew existed. Not just black lies, but so many hidden secrets were also inside the tears of the sky, crashing to the ground and waiting to be revealed.
