Standing on a hill, under darkening skies, was a lone teenager; this teenager being none other then Ryou Bakura. Ryou was different, not because he had an ancient spirit that appeared out of a golden ring called the Sennen Ring. No, he was a survivor of a tragedy that had happened which in turn shrouded his past in mystery and shadows. He was the only one that knew about an impending doom that would befall his friends if he were to do nothing to stop it. Only he can decide the fate of his friends and the future. This is his story.
'The time is drawing near.' Ryou thought to himself, standing on the hill with his arms crossed, watching the ever darkening skies overhead. Suddenly he heard his name being called and turned around to see it was Yugi who called his name.
"What do you want?" Ryou asked some what gruffly.
"The others and I are heading back towards the game shop before it starts raining out here. We called your name before but you weren't answering," Yugi replied innocently.
"I'm not going," Ryou said.
"But you'll get soaked out here!" Yugi exclaimed.
"This is no normal storm," said Ryou.
"What do you mean Ryou?" Yugi asked his friend.
"The time is drawing near," Ryou replied.
"What are you talking about?" Yugi asked him. Suddenly Yugi saw Ryou disappearing.
Yugi shouted, "Ryou! What's happening to you?"
"Soon the fate of everyone's lives will be decided. That is when it will be time," Ryou said before disappearing completely.
"Ryou! Ryou!" Yugi screamed looking frantically around for his friend.
"I've got to tell the others!" Yugi yelled, running back to the game shop to tell the others what happened.
