A/N: The beginning of this chapter is the same as before, but I've tried adding more detail into it…(I know, it's like the second or third time I've written this chapter…ugh…)

Rain poured down onto Domino City; the residents that had to be at work or school early took shelter in their vehicles and whatever building they were closest to.

A teenage boy with spiky hair stood in front of an apartment building, staring up at the window to the far left on the third floor. The person that lived in that apartment had interested him for the past month or so since she moved to Domino. There was just something about her that he couldn't quite place…

"Please, Bakura, don't hurt her!" Cried a weak voice inside the boy's mind. The boy decided to ignore the voice for a moment as he thought how he could take his plan into action. He would have to wait until after school, though. He still needed time to prepare their trip into that dimension.

Turning on his heels, heading to his own apartment building, which was two blocks away, he finally replied to the voice, "Don't worry, host, I'm just going to have a bit of fun." With that, he chuckled darkly as his 'host' backed away into the farthest corner of his soul-room.

Beep! Beep! Bee—

SMASH!

A girl with short black hair opened her red eyes and looked over to her now broken alarm clock on the floor. She fell back onto her bed and rubbed her eyes. She absolutely despised getting up so early! Although, the fact that was raining did make her feel a bit better; she had always loved storms, they made her feel calm.

The girl sat up in her bed and stretched while yawning. Then, opening her drawer in her nightstand, she pulled out her watch, which read 5:37 AM. Cursing at herself, she wondered why in the world she wanted to get up at five in the morning.

Then the memory of her level 81 Venomancer soloing someone's FB19 came back to her and she smiled. She loved playing as her Venomancer; it was her chance to be someone that she would rather be! Instead of a junk-food-loving, isolated, video-gaming girl that she is now…

The game she loved to play was an MMORPG called 'Perfect World International'. A guy she had a crush on a couple of years ago had introduced her to the game, and now she played it as often as she could. But the reason her Venomancer, SailorRocket, was only at level 81 was because she loved to experiment with different classes and builds.

After logging into the game and selected to play SailorRocket, she realized that she had a ton of quests to do for Frostcovered City and a couple for the Twilight Temple. "Ugh…I hate these quests! Sure, it's not hard finding squads for them, but…the squads I were in before (for Twilight Temple) were impatient and treated me like I was a complete retard…I've only been in Twilight Temple once and I really don't want to go in there again…let alone Frostcovered City…"

The girl decided to grind a bit, meaning that she would just kills monsters and stock up on the items and money that they drop, then sell the Dragon Quest items for money.

What felt like only ten minutes passed, an alarm came up on her laptop, telling her that it was 7:20 AM and that it was time to get ready for school.

"Oh, well…I guess I'll just create a Psychic later and actually try to get her past level 30…" She remembered that on her old Psychic, she had bought her a pair of Spectral Haze wings, but she had gotten bored of her because she didn't seem real…So she deleted the character, but not before selling the wings for 8 million coins and mailing that money to SailorRocket.

She closed her laptop and gathered her clothes from a basket beside her bed before heading to her small bathroom for a nice, hot shower.

"Suzuki, Akiko!"

Akiko jerked up at the mention of her name, drool dripping out of the corner of her mouth. She heard some snickers from her classmates and glared at the nearest ones.

"Yes, Hanazuki-sensei…?"

I was calling role. I had to say your name three times to wake you up!" Ms. Hanazuki looked downright pissed because the class had barely started and Akiko had already fallen asleep! Truth was, Akiko was just tired because she went to bed at 12 AM (despite her mother's constant nagging to go to bed) and getting up at 5 AM, not just because her class was boring…that was just part of it.

Akiko didn't feel like going to detention. Again. She really wanted to create that Psychic later…So, she tried to sweet-talk her way out of it, "I'm very sorry, Hanazuki sensei. I have to get up very early every morning to do my chores. I was just worn out…"

Ms. Hanazuki's eyes softened and said as she looked back down at her roster, "Alright, I'll let it slide just for today. If you have to wake up early, start going to bed early the night before!"

Sighing as Ms. Hanazuki continued to call roll, she felt a jab in her left shoulder. Looking behind her, Yuugi Mutou, a boy with large purple eyes and wild-tri-colored hair, handed her a folded piece of paper. She took the note and unfolded it. The note was from Ryou Bakura, but Anzu Mazaki, Katsuya Jounouchi, and Hiroto Honda had all signed it, showing that they had read it.

The note read: "Come to my apartment and bring your laptop. There's an online RPG I want to show you all! :) And to Jounouchi, I have a desktop computer you can use."

Akiko signed her name and folded the note back to the way it was before and handed it back to Yuugi.

Eight hours plus one after-school activity later, Yuugi and his friends, along with Akiko, met up at Ryou's apartment. Ryou was bringing up a game client on the desktop computer, which Jounouchi was sitting at. "Ok, everyone go to the this website," he typed in perfectworld (dot) com, then continued, "Now go to the top of the page and click 'Register/Login'. Register while I copy the game from my flash-drive onto your all's computers; it's much faster doing it that way than it is downloading it."

Everyone nodded as Ryou went to each person's laptop and pasted the game into their C drive folders and creating a short-cut link to their desktops for easy access.

After registering, Yuugi piped up, "So, this game's called Perfect World International? Sounds interesting."

"It is!" Ryou exclaimed as he created an Assassin on his account.

"I've got a level 81 Venomancer on PWI!" Akiko gloated, holding up a 'peace' sign.

"You play the game too? Cool! I have a level 51 Blademaster! I actually finished his FB51 yesterday!"

Akiko was about to say something, but Anzu spoke before she could, "Ok, I've got this program open, what now?"

"Click 'Start', log in, then choose 'Create' in the bottom left corner."

Everyone did as Ryou had instructed successfully created their 'toons'.

"Everyone ready?" Ryou asked.

There was an echo of 'yeahs' and Ryou's eyes became narrower and his hair spikier. "Good." His voice was deeper and, with a chuckle, he used his Millennium Ring to send them all into the game, or rather, an alternate dimension!

"GAME START!" Was heard from Bakura as not only Yuugi and his friends and Akiko, but every person on the planet that was playing Perfect World International collapsed as their souls were sent into the world of Pangu.

A/N: A few more Yugioh characters will be in this story later, too. :P
