-chapter 4 –Innocence is carded

-meanwhile around 9:46 AM -begin Dragula by Rob Zombie (sets up the chapter's creepy start if you think about it)

Meanwhile in other parts of the city things weren't going so well for a graduate going by the name of Ryou Bakura… he'd been sickly for quite awhile and so wasn't able to duel due to poor health however it was just a front by the evil spirit of his own Millennium Item… the sinister Ring. However as Bakura walked along wheezing slightly or rather the Ring spirit was making his body wheeze… it was so bad he didn't even notice accidently bumping into someone and kept on walking along.

"Yo kid watch where yer going." Grumped out some ignorable fool of a middle aged man to him.

It was time to drop his façade of sickness and retaliate against this worthless grub. "Out of my fool… " The kid grumped back to him totally skipping the concept of respecting your elders. This kid needed a wakeup call on respect.

The stubborn looking man called to Bakura. "Yo kid stop right there you owe me an apology for bumping into me." The middle aged guy ranted to the post high school boy. "I got a girlfriend and her kid to meet today I was having a good day now its gone make it better or else."

Bakura turned to his accusing germ of a man. "Or else what hmm? You'll kill me hmm? It's wise to stay out of my way you fool I warned you in advance. I'm Ryou Bakura you are?"

"I'm Stan you little punk apologize now!" Stan shouted at Bakura.

Bakura simply gave a toothy looking sneer at him which got the man a bit unnerved. "You dare talk to me that way hmm? You're a "real" card Stan so a card you'll be! AHAHAHAH!"

A bright gold hued light burst from Bakura's Ring as it suddenly filled the deserted street as it suddenly died down from whence it came… and all traces of Stan were gone in fact a card was in his place… bearing the name of "Ecchi". "Old fool I warned him not to cross me oh well not my problem anymore." Bakura then callously tore the card to bits and dumped the bits in the nearest storm drain as Bakura walked along like nothing had happened. (So folks who was this guy hmm? It's pretty obvious after all what's ecchi mean?)

A bit later Bakura came upon Sakura Street a house bearing the number 217… a crazed smile graced the young man's evil yet also "pretty" face. "I sense some fun to be had. Now how do I get inside?"

Then an idea hit him two seconds later as he went to the door as he knocked on it. A woman with deep dark hair in early 20's to middle 30's. "Hello you are?"

"Um hello ma'am I'm a bit of a drifter I go from place to place just going on my own to experience life to its fullest may I come in? I also interview families from everywhere since it's a secondary doing." Bakura outright lied to the woman who was a bit taken back by what she thought as a college freshman dressed in basic jeans, a grey tank top with a lavender windbreaker over it. His oddest quirk was his light lavender hair likely dyed.

She happily allowed him in after all he didn't seem dangerous much less carried a backpack. "Why not you can always meet people by chance I say… I met my second fiancé that way so come in."

-inside

Bakura looked the interior around so very home-like and clean the old woman had no clue who she was dealing with… all the easier to deal with her. "Is that your daughter hmm?" Bakura asked gesturing toward the photo on the nearby cabinet. "My apologies ma'am I hadn't even introduced myself yet I'm Bakura Ryou."

"Oh yes Bakura she is, my darling little Mayu." She replied. (Readers I just wanna barf right on the monitor at how much of a hypocrite she's sounding right now/lord gimme strength) "She got one of those blasted Duel Disc things from Culex Industries in the mail… all this fuss over some silly trading cards in my day I played with nature not cards. She says she's going to enter into the tournament well no I say to that… a trading card based tournament outrageous I say not to mention ridiculous. That millionare Pegasus is a crackpot if you ask me."

"I hope someday I'll have a child as beautiful as her." Bakura chuckled. "Someday perhaps I might. But I sense something… "

The woman looked up from the pot on the gas powered stove. "Hmm? What do you sense Bakura?" She asked completely unaware of what he had planned for her.

"Darkness… in your soul plus arrogance, greed, selfishness and a complete lack of compassion that is what I sense. Hmm I've little use for you but you'll be excellent entertainment for a friend of mine going by the name of… Brain Control!" Bakura whipped out a card with a green brain on it with pink hands extended.

To the woman's horror the arms extended from the card and latched onto her face. "Now do as I command foolish old hag. I'm in a foul mood as some trumped up idiot into bumped into me so write a note that you're going to pick up a few extra items for dinner."

"Yes master." The mother said taking a pen and notepad writing a note for the daughter.

"As I said to that Stan idiot you're a real card… so a card you'll be." Bakura said glowering at the girl's mother as in a flash of light she was a card reading "Ignorance". Bakura again callously tore the card to bits and set the bits on the stove burner as they burned up. "Foolish old woman next time don't let folks like me into your home… Ahahahhhhh!"

Bakura then got up and out the door he went without a care in the world as he had a plan to enact.

-a few hours later at the Inn

Meanwhile a few hours at the Inn the vivacious, chic, and blonde yet also slightly posh duelist going by the name of Mai Valentine had stopped by the Inn to say hello to a younger protégé of hers… the 16 year old Serenity Wheeler sister of Joey Wheeler. Also there was Kouta himself plus Kanae his sister.

"Ok Mai I hope you're right on this… I mean I wanna look good but still intimidating when I wipe out those amateur duelists decks." The freshman said looking over dueling outfit… it consisted of a black pleated skirt (like Kaede wore/her idol), white jeans, a white t-shirt and as a finally touch a yellow open front vest worn over it.

Mai gave the younger duelist a once over then turned to Serenity who gave it her own reviewing. "It's nice but not tough enough… it needs one err two things to touch it up."

Serenity got out from her bag a tan neck scarf and a pair of black finger gloves. "Here put these on." And so Kanae did and she looked much more rugged.

"Now you're a duelist Kanae. Hmm give me a few minutes with that kid sibling of yours Kouty-boy I'll really spiff her up. She'll be the best looking high school duelist there is alongside Serenity that is." Mai went on one of her beauty tirades to the college boy when suddenly there was somebody at the door. "Huh now who could that be? Oh well one way to find out then."

The door opened to show a petite looking middle school kid bearing deep hazel brown eyes and dark brunette hair. "Um can we help you young lady?" The college boy asked her.

"Maybe you can… " She said wondering if indeed they could. She then saw who else was inside the building… it was but couldn't be. "Oh my gosh! The great Mai Valentine my classmates think you're so hot myself extremely skilled."

-soon

"And when I got there… all I found was a note saying she had to get some extra things and be back by 4:45 but she never showed. I'm worried she said she had a surprise for me when I got home. But nobody came I'm worried something happened to my mom." The girl going by Mayu explained. She said she was 12 years old barely into 6th grade.

Mai wasn't exactly a genius but it didn't take one to figure out something horrible happened to the girl's parents. "Hmm that is strange so your mother's a housewife but where's your father at?"

"Died just after I was born." She confessed. "So why would she have enemies then?"

Serenity then asked something else. "Do you mind if we take a look there and try to find a few clues?" Mayu didn't see any reason why not as Serenity and Kouta were off to her home of 217 Sakura Street.

-217 Sakura Street

Arriving there the two didn't see anything just the note Mayu told them of. It read "Dear sugar muffin I went to the store to get a bag of carrots, celery, and cheesecake mix be back by 4:45 love you."

"This is strange… why didn't she come back?" The younger Wheeler sibling asked out loud wondering where the girl's mother went.

Kouta looked everywhere but didn't see a single thing out of place. Little did he know the mother was still there on the stove top as burn up ashes. "Ah there's nothing here Serenity we better head back." (readers I just wanna vomit right now after writing this XP)

-and soon

-begin Dreams by Van Halen

Eventually by the time the two returned the other friends of Mai plus Serenity's brother… Joey Wheeler well how to say it Mayu was completely hysterical err rather in hyper fangirl mode. The whole group was there Tea Gardner, Tristan Taylor, even the great Duke Devlin creator of Dungeon Dice Monsters a now prospering Duel Monsters spin-off game. She wanted dueling tips, coaching and autographs then from the king and queen themselves… Yugi and Kaede Motou.

"Great fangirls ooh… Yugi please hit me with knockout gas." Kaede pleaded with her shorter yet older brother. "Will ya let go of me ya munchkin! Geez!"

"Sorry Kaede you'll have to deal with her yourself." Yugi said very much amused watching the girl trying to squirm out of Mayu's bear hug then finally she did.

"Some brother... family like this I don't need enemies." The Motou girl grumbled out.

However the school kid simply latched onto Joey next embarrassing the hell outta him. "Why Joey I didn't know ya had a girlfriend. Be nice to her middle school girls have very sensitive feelings y'know I thought you and Mai were going out." Duke joked seeing the small brunette with hearts in her hazel eyes. Mayu was hanging onto Joey's arm like a smitten fan-girl to a rocker and the whole Inn minus Joey himself thought it was absolutely adorable.

"Wait til I tell my friends about this Joey Wheeler's my boyfriend… fu-fu-fu-fu." She giggled in a girlish tone.

"WHA!" Joey half yelled. "Uh guys a little help here huh? Duke huh some help? Assistance huh Mai?" He said wanting to get the cute but frankly annoying girl off him.

Tea even thought it too cute to interrupt. "Look she's got a boy crush so cute I'm bursting with sugar based smiles easy Joey or she'll hug you and drag you to school for show and tell."

"Guys c'mon!" Joey continued to rant over Mayu's crush on him as he finally broke away from her and ran up the stairs and locked his door so she couldn't chase him. "Kiddo leave me alone!"

"Joey I just wanted you go to school to meet my class c'mon out… please?" The school begged him from the upstairs.

The group's wondered how crazy the day of dueling would be tomorrow… what events would turn up next? Who knew… But something was going to be awakened from millennia long dormancy and would take the power of both group's to stop it.

-to be continued

Well this is my second updating of the New Year so enjoy it. How was the chapter? Was it dark enough? Anyways once again Mayu's family is killed off for obvious reasons as I just don't like the arrogant bastards (a sentiment shared frankly with everyone)... the stunts that were pulled are total and utter bullshit if you want my opinion but that's just my opinion however. Bakura doing such a thing well he's crazy more so in the Dawn of the Duel arc alias the Thief King Bakura. He is a crazed sociopath who'd kill someone just as soon as look at them so turning two people then tearing them to bits isn't that far out of his character so enjoy since he's the villain of the story not Kurama not even the two Kakuzawa's just Bakura. Um just wondering what do you all think of Mayu's boy crush on Joey? Was it funny? Or stupid and uncalled for? Anyways please review this, look over my polls and cast a few votes while you're there and look over my following stories of mine as well… "EctoVectors", "Neon Genesis Nightwarriors", "Vectors and Vector Sigma", "Power Rangers Dimension Legends", "Cybertronian Invasion", "Super Horned Ascension", "Lucy and the Four Chelonian Saviours", "Diclonius Goddess of Steel", "Yokohama Night Monsters", and "Maverick Hunter KLN". Until then this has been writer TURP signing off take care, goodbye, good night (where applicable anyway;), and good luck folks I'm signing off now.
