Thoughts
A woman with long white hair ran through the battleground clutching a baby. She ran with amazing stamina for her appearance. She darted through the forest and stumbled into a clearing.
There was a well. She couldn't believe her luck. She hugged her child close, and then jumped into the well, hoping that the water would wash away her scent.
She hit dirt and bit back tears. No! The well was dry and her hopes were dashed. Then there was a blue light, and she was falling. Down and down and down…
When she awoke, she was at the bottom of the well. The woman flinched as she felt the wound in her side.
Even with demon healing she new the wound would be fatal, she only worried about her son, the precious bundle she protected with her life.
She breathed in deeply. She gasped. There are no demons! Only many, many humans nearby. It smelled like a different world!
The demon climbed out of the well and took a look around. She took a chain off her neck and cast a spell on it. She slipped it onto her son.
The woman skirted the shrine that was built next to the well and wandered into the city. She was looking for someone. Not just any human, but a person worthy of caring for her son.
She strolled through a park and saw her. A human woman who gave off an aura of kindness.
The Demoness decided right then that this woman would be the one she left her son with. She revealed herself to the human. The Human woman accepted the baby.
The Demoness sighed in relief, and then collapsed. Then the Demoness Nixa, Lady of the Eastern Lands, died.
(POV Change)
Elizabeth Jane Thomas Bakura marveled at the site before her. A woman with hair so white it put snow to shame stood before her. Upon closer examination she realized that the woman was covered in her own blood!
"Um, C-can I help you?" Elizabeth asked timidly. The strange woman with white hair smiled sadly and held out the bundle in her arms.
Elizabeth blinked. She hadn't noticed that before! She looked warily at the bundle being held by the strange woman.
"Um…"
The strange woman apparently took this as "Of course I'll take it!", for she thrust the bundle into the other woman's (Elizabeth's) arms and sighed in relief before her strength gave out and her amazing silver eyes closed for the final time.
Elizabeth gasped as the strange woman fell to the ground. In her shock she somehow remembered her first aid training, and she placed two fingers on the woman's neck to find a pulse. Elizabeth's face paled, there was none.
Remembering the bundle that had been thrust on her, she looked down at it in wonder. What had the odd woman cared about so much to walk across the park bleeding to death?
She folded back a piece of cloth and was surprised to find a small, white haired child sleeping peacefully.
'What have I gotten myself into?' she wondered in awe.
13 Years Later –
"BEEP!" the alarm clock blared. Ryou Bakura groaned and tuned the alarm out. His yami, however, was not so lucky.
"Holy Ra!" screamed the Thief king Ba-khu-ra,( also known as Bakura, 'Kura, Thief, Tomb Robber, Albino, Spirit-of-the-Ring, Princess (don't ask), and occasionally "Hey you with the hair!")
His hikari decided that this was a good time to get out of the room, and did so, quickly.
Ryou closed the door in time to hear an explosion. He quickly opened the door again.
"Yami! That had better not have been the alarm clock!"
"…"
"Yami! That's the third one this month!" Ryou sighed and left the room.
A few minutes later –
Ryou wiped his hands on a rag and checked on the breakfast he was in the process of making.
"Ow!" he complained. Ryou put his hand to his lip and found he was bleeding.
Bakura, who was apparently lured down the stairs by the smell of blood, appeared behind his hikari.
"What did you do this time, woman!" he demanded. Ryou jumped at the sudden noise. He settled down when he realized who it was.
"I bit my lip…You do know I'm not a girl, right?" replied said hikari. Bakura shrugged.
"You act like one." Ryou ignored him.
"Well, breakfast is ready, anyway."
"…"
"What?" asked the confused hikari.
"…Hikari, do you have fangs?"
"What kind of question is that?" Bakura pointed to the bathroom and Ryou rushed in. He clutched the sink like a lifeline and let out a surprised scream.
"Oh, kami-sama!"
