Okay, here's the second chapter. It's quite long. So be prepared. Enjoy.

His mind flashed back to when they first met, back when they were both six years old, and Ryou's father, Toya Bakura, had taken the whole family to Egypt as a holiday.

-My mind takes you to where you need to be,

Cure for your heartbreak,

To take away the pain…-

During this time, Ryou's sister was alive, along with his mother. His sister, Amane, was three years old, and was as cute as can be, not to mention energetic! Ryou had a hard time keeping up with her. But it turned out she was just a little too fast for Ryou, for as soon as they had gotten back to their hotel after a day of sight-seeing, Amane ran off into the big lobby, and hid somewhere. Well, Ryou and their parents didn't really see where she went. The first to notice was Ryou, and he began to search everywhere for Amane. His parents immediately went to the front desk. Ryou looked in baskets, behind pillars, under chairs and benches, even under some ladies' dress, but still couldn't find Amane. Then he felt a tap on his shoulder, and spun around. He was face to face with a pair of the deepest green eyes he had ever seen. He took a step back, and found that they belonged to a little girl who seemed to be the same age as him. She had dark brick-red hair with certain locks as white as his hair; tanned skin, indicating she was an Egyptian, and had a white tank top with dark cut-off jean shorts, and her hair was pulled up in a ribbon matching her shorts, and simple stud earrings were found on her earlobes. She took a step sideways, revealing Amane.

"Is she related to you, boy?" asked the little girl in Arabic.

Amane giggled as Ryou blushed for he understood her. He nodded.

"I thought so. She looks a lot like you. She was hiding in the dining room over there," the girl said, pointing to a basket in the dining room that was the room on the right, filled with tables full of people eating dinner.

Amane giggled again and even hugged Ryou around the middle. Ryou watched as the little girl waved and went back into the dining room. Ryou took the still giggling Amane to their frantic parents, who immediately calmed down as soon as they saw the giggling toddler safe and sound with Ryou. As the Bakuras were checking Amane all over, Ryou turned his attention back to the dining room, and, after searching a little, found the little girl who found Amane. Ryou turned back to his mom and tugged on her shirt.
"Mum, that little girl found Amane," said Ryou, pointing to the little girl with long, red and white hair.

She was sitting with a woman who had porcelain white skin, long red hair, and green eyes, and a man who had black hair and tan skin with dark violet eyes. They were eating and having a good time. Ami Bakura nodded at the people when she too saw the little girl and her parents. Once Toya had scooped up the yawning toddler, they all went up to their room, with Ryou still looking back at the little girl. She caught his eyes and waved again at him, smiling. Ryou blushed and quickly turned away.

-I could describe each mistake for you

tattoo it on my tainted heart,

but I won't ever tell the world,

that I don't belong,

please don't ever tell the world

that I don't belong…-

Ryou chuckled and turned over to stare at his bedside table that had a lamp and a few pictures on it, including some of Bon Bon. He smiled at it as he thought of the day after the hide-and-seek incident…

The next day, the Bakuras just decided to rest a little bit and stayed at the hotel for most of the day. They were at the pool for most of the day, and Ryou was with Amane in the kiddy pool when it happened again: Amane had disappeared again. Ryou stared to look everywhere for her, and he soon found her. She was talking to the same little girl from the previous day. Ryou quickly went over to his sister and the little girl. When he got there he was out of breath and his sister looked at him and giggled once more.
"Wyou!" she said and hugged him, which practically made him fall over.

The other little girl giggled as Ryou regained his balance.

"Um, I'm sorry that my sister keeps bother you, she's a little too friendly with people…um…" Ryou said looking at the girl.

She smiled and said, "Name's Jariana Treeha. And I like your little sister, she's cute."

Amane giggled at the comment and tugged on Ryou's swimming trunks, "Wyou, come pway wif us!"
Ryou took a look at the girls' beaming face, his sister's pleading face, then looked at his parents. They caught his eye and he waved at them and gestured towards the little girl who waved towards the Bakuras, who smiled back and nodded. Ryou smiled and he and Jari, along with Amane of course, played until it was time for them to go. Ryou learned that Jari's father also was an archeologist that was even in the same tame with
his father. He found that that was really cool.

-Whoa, that I don't belong,

can you still feel me,

or did I slip away?

A sick man

A monster broken still today,

I can't explain what happens to me,

Caught in the game I always start…-

Ryou picked up a picture of him and 'Bon Bon'. They were smiling and Jari had an arm around one of Ryou's shoulder, and was leaning her head on the other. Ryou had an arm around her waist, the other on her hand that was on his shoulder, and had his head on hers…and Amane's hand making a peace sign had somehow made itself into the picture. Ryou smiled at it and traced Jari's face with one of his fingers.

-I could describe each mistake for you

tattoo it on my tainted heart,

I won't ever change my ways,

And I can't be strong,

Whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa,

That I don't belong…-

This photo had been taken several years ago, when he and Jari were both thirteen years old, and Amane was ten. That was a few months before Amane and Ami Bakura died…

-And it's my own shame I can't break away,

well I won't ever change my ways,

and I can't be strong,

please don't ever tell the world,

that I don't belong,

whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa,

that I don't belong.-

Yes, I chose "Don't Belong" for some reason for this chapter…I think it was because of the beginning of the song that really set me off….and I guess the rest of it flows. If you don't think so, well don't worry: there are plenty of more song for me to choose from from Year of the Spider. I don't wanna use some of the more depressing songs just yet…we haven't gotten that far…
