Okay as promised this chapter will explain a little more about Ryou and the ring.  Oh and thanks for the reviews. You people are great. Again, I don't own Yugioh but I do own Eagle and the other characters I create.

Chapter 4

Not far away from the game shop, in an alley just across the street

"You stupid boy, I should kill you for interrupting me." Bakura shouted as he looked around the corner and watched Yugi and Yami return to the store. The boy turned and punched Ryou in the stomach.

"I didn't want you to hurt the old man." Ryou responded after he caught his breath back.

"Arrgh you're hopeless.  What made you think I would hurt the old man?" Bakura shouted shoving Ryou to the ground and sitting on top of his chest.

"I…don't… know… now get off me." Ryou shouted struggling to get Bakura off of his chest so he could breathe.

"Fine, but you'll get payback at home." Bakura shrugged and punched Bakura in the stomach as he got up.

Ryou wiped off his shirt and stared at Bakura. He wished his parents hadn't gone on an excavation and sent him back the ring he wore around his neck. It was the ring that was causing all his problems. 

******flashback to earlier in the day******

Ryou sat on his bed staring at the package his parents had sent him.

'Why were they in Egypt? They should be here with me.' He thought as he opened the box.  The box opened to reveal the millennium ring. He looked at the ring. There was a note next to it in the box. He picked up the note and read it.

Dear Ryou, we're sorry that we have to be gone so much we bought this ring in a market place just outside of Cairo. The merchant said it had something to do with duel monsters. We know you like the game. When you wear it remember we're thinking about you, sincerely mom and dad.

He reached in the box and picked up the ring. He put it on, as he let it rest on his chest the ring began to glow. As the glow became more intense Ryou covered his eyes.  When the glow had died down he opened his eyes. A boy stood before him.  The boy wore a simple tunic around his waist- hey I don't know what they would call it.- he glared at Ryou, his brown eyes burning a hole in him as their eyes meet. The boy raised his hand and punched Ryou in the jaw.

"What are you looking at?" the boy growled.

"WH-who are you?" Ryou asked rubbing his jaw.

"What's It matter to you?" the boy replied as he raised his hand and punched him in the stomach.

*****End Flashback*****

"Come on stupid." Bakura barked at Ryou who had apparently been daydreaming.  Bakura stood in front of Ryou and began to glow. Dust swirled around the two boys. Ryou grabbed hold of Bakura's hand as he started to lift from the ground. They flew above the buildings and went towards Ryou's house. They landed in the back yard.  As he set Ryou down, Bakura glared at the boy.

"Go inside right now." He yelled at him as he powered down Ryou did as he was told even though he would get punished for standing up against Bakura earlier.

They walked in the house; Bakura punched Ryou in the back just above the kidneys. Ryou landed face down on the floor, trying hard to regain his breath. The floor spun before him from the punch. He felt a sharp pain in his side as Bakura kicked him in the side. He felt the energy in the room as the bigger boy prepared to launch an attack on him. Ryou closed his eyes anticipating the attack. After several minutes he opened his eyes and looked at Bakura. He stood there as if he were frozen. Ryou sat up and his eyes widened as the bigger boy began to sink to the ground.

Ryou quickly got up and caught the boy. Bakura looked up at the boy shocked that he would catch him after all the beatings he had taken so far. That and the fact he had just seen something that made him freeze in fear. An eye had glared at him through a wall. It was watching him.  It was like the eye had a mind of its own, and it had spoken to him.

"Let the boy go. He had nothing to do with your imprisonment in that ring." After the words hit his ears a shot left the eye and hit him. It froze him instantly. Then the eye disappeared.

Okay I'm stopping right here for now. Because one I'm slowly, running out of thoughts and two it's almost time for adult swim. Oh well at least I could get this chapter written before it came on. This was a hard chapter for me to write simply because I can't stand to see Ryou get hit. He's just too cute.  I'll try to explain the eye later. At the moment it fit pretty well. I mean come on I had to stop Bakura some how. Any ways read and review. It may take me a while to get the next chapters out but don't worry they'll come, Promise. Well bye for now.
