Ryou Bakura woke up with a start, his heart pounding loudly in his chest. Wiping his wet brow, he looked around his bedroom. On the walls were pinned up empty boxes of pocky and posters of his favorite bands. He shook his head, trying to figure outwhat woke him up in the first place, but all that he could remember was the sound of a little girl sobbing.

Glancing at his alarm clock his eyes widened, it was 11 pm. "Shit," he muttered to himself. "Why didn't my alarm clock go off. I am going to be late for school!" With that he jumped out of his bed and ran towards the bathroom. He almost made it but tripped over one of his housemate's shoes, landing face first on the grey scratchy carpet.

"Ow..." He muttered, sitting back up. Ryou brushed himself and continued his journey towards the bathroom. Noticing a red stain on the door, his heart rate, once again sped up. "Oh no."he said. "It looks like Tozuko go into another fight." That being said he opened the door quickly, accidently hitting the ass of the young man standing in front of the mirror, bending over (a/n: tee hee).

"Well,gods," He said, grinning."Don't I feel violated."He laughed to show that he was joking,the scar under his right eye gave his innocent gesture a look of mischief. There was a bandage on his bare stomach that had blood flowing freely from it. He winced as he looked down and saw it.

Ryou sighed. "Here let me help you with that," he walked towards him, his eyes full of concern. He looked up at Tozuko. "Did you turn off my alarm clock?"He asked, knowing full well that his once Yami had done it before. "You know that we have school today."

The well built thief backed away, but was stopped by the bathroom counter. "No, no, the wound is fine,I just let somebody get to close to me, that's all." He looked up at Ryou, and was surprised to see worry in his chocolate eyes. "Anyway,yes,I did turn off your alarm clock.But I had good reason." Tozuko said quickly as he saw his housemate open his mouth to yell at him. "It's Spring Break and I wanted you to sleep in."Plus, I didn't want you to be so concerned about me, he said to himself, knowing full well that the boy would.

"It is?" Ryou said dubiously. "I thought that wasn't until next week." He started rattling off dates in his head. Let's see here, he thought, April seventh was last Monday, which means that its the 14th today. "Oh, I get it." He said, calming down. "I guess I have to thank you then...So... Thank you..." He blushed at his mistake. "I wonder if the others did the same thing, or if it was just me who forgot."

Just as he was about to turn around, he was stopped dead in his tracks. There, standing in the doorway was a young girl of about twelve with red hair and grey eyes. Her hair was streaked with moss and mud, and she had scars running up and down her arms. "Are you Ryou Bakura?" She asked, her voice resonating off of the bathroom walls. As he was about to answer, Tozuko stepped forward, placing his arm across Ryou's chest, making him step back.

"And if he is...?" He asked, his eyes narrowing with distrust. The girls smiled sadly, seeing the way that he protected the younger man. Her head lowered slowly as she thought back to when there were people like that for her.

Looking up, she stepped forward cautiously, not wanting to seem like a threat. "I just have something that I need to give him." She reached into her side sack and pulled out a book and an anklet with a golden charm on it. When Ryou saw the title of the book his heart beat quickened again 'Gotta get that checked...' he thought absentmindedly(sp?). It was a black notebook, with an ancient rune written on the center of the cover. He'd seen that same rune in his dream, the dream that he had previously woken up from. Little did he know that the little girls whom he heard sobbing was now standing in front of him. Handing them out to him, she said. "These are for you, use them well and don't let anyone take them away from you..."

When he took them from her arms, he looked at the anklet. If was the same insignia that was on the notebook. It looked like a small child's drawing of a chicken's leg, with three toes and the middle one ending at the same line as the other two surrounding it. "Wait a minute," He began, fingering the strange jewelry. "Isn't this the toten-rune?" He looked back up at the girl.

She smiled a sad smile, her eyes were out of focus, like she was trying to think about something. "Yes, that is the infamous death rune." She looked up at Tozuko, seeing how he gnashed his teeth with anger at the girl, knowing that he didnt trust her. "You, Thief King, need to relax. I am not the one you need to worry about." She reached into her sack again, pulling out a violet case. She opened the case and winced. Closing it again, she handed it to the untrusting man. "Here, take this as a sign of me not being the bad guy."

He opened the case and his eyes lit with wonder. In that case was the Millenium Ring. He looked back up at the red hed. "How could you get this? The Phaoroh destroyed all of the Milleniun Items when he gave the Yami's their own bodies." He fingered the Item and his hand shook, it had been almost seven months since he had last seen it.

"I told you, I am not an enemy. My name is Kalisim." With that she turned around and started walking away. Before she could get too far however, Tozuko ran torward her and grabbed her arm roughly, making the girl wince and glare at him. "What do you want, I gave you what you craved most," She paused, looking at Ryou mischieviously. "At least, one of them."

He let go of her, and took a step back. "You want something from us, don't you?" Ryou asked from the bathroom. He hadn't taken a single step since he was given the items. "Are you in some kind of trouble?" His eyes shown with worry.

"Kind of." She said, looking out the window sadly. "But I don't need your help for a while, there are still some other people I need to go see before I come back for you two." She took one step towards the window and she dissappeared in a stream of silver mist.
