Instantly the room began to blur. I began to feel a strange… presence I guess, start to stir inside me. Muttering, speaking things in a language I could not understand, or even recognize. I could feel things too. Confusion, anger… pain. Mental and physical pain.
"Who… who are you?"
It would be a lie to tell you I was anything less than terrified. I had grown used to the gibberish that had been in my mind's background these past few minutes, but that… that was Japanese!
"Who are you?" he said again, this time impatient, and a little angry. Well, I say he, at the time I wasn't sure if it was a real person or not. But it was definitely male. And his voice… it almost sounded like mine. A little, rougher perhaps, but definitely similar. I decided to answer him before he got any angrier, but the words were hard to form.
"I'm… Ryou. Bakura Ryou. Please, tell me, who are you?"
He was silent so long I would have thought he disappeared, if not for the fact that I could still feel him. I decided to wait though; he seemed to be a very temperamental spirit. I had decided that was what he must be, and though it seemed strange, I was more fascinated than frightened.
"Where am I? What year is this?"
So, he had decided not to answer my question. That was fine. I would answer all of his question and hopefully in the process get answers to some of mine.
"We're in Japan, and its 1993."
"Hm. Are we far from Egypt?"
I was surprised, but not too much. After all, the Ring was from Egypt.
"Well, yes. Is that where you come from? Are you trapped in the Ring?"
But again he avoids my questions entirely. In fact, he doesn't speak another word. For hours. It almost drives me crazy, and I had hoped he hadn't disappeared completely. Though he didn't seem all that friendly, I had had hopes that we could be friends. How naïve I was. How naïve…
A/N: So that's a little longer, right? Yay me! Anyway, I hope you are enjoying this so far; I am really getting into writing this one. Chapter 3 is now up to being about 90 done, so hopefully I'll have it up by the weekend. Oh, and since I haven't mentioned this yet… I do not own Yugioh. (I always forget that.) Please review!
