I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, or Seto Kaiba, sadly enough, but if I did own him, he'll be-, ahem cough let's move on, shall we?

First, I was only aiming for an oneshot, but you guys changed my mind, so here goes the 2nd chapter.

P.S. plz review, since I'm running out of ideas.

Clouds drifted across a dark, starless sky, obscuring the thin sliver of moon. Yami Bakura likes to wander the darkest alleys of the city, especially on nights like this. And on nights likes this, he feels like he was one with the shadows. 'Wait a minute,' he thought as a chilling gust of wind, one that would make a normal human shudder, passed by. 'I'm not one with the shadows, I'm the shadows itself!', he laughed out loud. The sound echoed around him, on the deserted sidewalk.

Then he heard sounds. Not the sound of the howling wind and his footsteps on the sidewalk, but strange sounds. It came from the alley across the street. He wasn't scared, because he was familiar with these streets. Too familiar, to say the least. 'Might be someone in need for a trip to the shadow realm', he chuckled slyly to himself. That is what Bakura lives for, the thrill of watching people slowly slipping away, or becoming a prisoner of their own minds. It's also an obsession, or even a pass-time hobby, if that's what you want to call it.

As he crossed the street, the sounds became louder and louder. It was the muffled screams of a young girl, and the snickerings, together with foul languages of about two or three men.

Tea was trapped. She had been walking home from the dance studio, three hours later than usual. Eversince Seto broke up with her, she couldn't concentrate on all of her dance moves. She still loves him. She would collapse on the floor, or lose her balance on even the simplest steps. That three hours had been wasted. No improvements was to be made on the particular dance move, in addition, she also missed the last bus ride home and had to walk. Not too long after she left the bus stop to begin her 25-blocks trek, did she realized that three men were following her. She tried to run and fight them off, but they were too strong for the 17-year-old girl. She even begged and pleaded for mercy, but none was given.

Tea screamed hopelessly as one removed her top, the second one held down her arms and legs, and another one placed his hand on her mouth. She bit him, only to receive a stinging slap to her tear-stained cheek. She continued screaming beneath the rough hand, even though she felt the fear and hopelessness rising in her chest. Tea kept on telling herself that she was going to get out of this, somehow. For she knew what would happen to a girl, raped in a dark alley, by three men. After they were done, they would kill her and dump her body here, or the pier, it doesn't make any difference to these blood-thirsty animals. Little did Tea know, that she would be saved, by the most unlikely knight in shining armor, Bakura.

As soon as Bakura got to the scene, the winds seemed to become even colder and whistled even louder. He got hold of the situation immediatly, he could just walk off and pretend like nothing has happened, but something in the girl's pleading eyes caught his attention. 'This could be amusing. besides, I think the shadows is growing hungry for a few new souls', he thought.

"Unhand the girl at once", Bakura commanded, taking great care in showing the danger in his voice.

"And what if we don't?", one asked, who seemed to be the "leader" of the group.

Everyone soon then closed their eyes as a blinding flash illuminated the dark alley. When eyelids were raised, all that was left of the "leader" was a lifeless body lying on the ground.

"You have five seconds to get out of my sight", was all Bakura said after he sent the first person who dared defy him into the Shadow Realm. But those were powerful words because they were enough to send the other two running for their life. 'Typical, just make an example out of one and the rest will scatter like ants trying to escape from the rain', he smirked, for a second, forgetting the scared, miserable figure leaning against the wall right next to him. He turned around and made a pitiful attemp in trying to explain why he helped her. "I just wanted to see how gutless those modern day humans are", not wanting to admit that her beautiful eyes captivated him. 'Ugh, did I just think that her eyes were beautiful?', the thought disgusted him, because the one and only thing he ever thought was beautiful was the shadows. But he melted as those beautiful blue orbs looked his way, "Well, thank you anyways, I owe you my life, but what was it that you did to him? Did you kill him?" Tea's eyes opened wide fearfully as she gathered herself back together and put her shirt back on, blushing slightly because of Bakura's presence. "No, he just passed out, he'll wake up in a few minutes", Bakura lied without even breaking a sweat. "Oh, but thanks again, what do you want in return for your help, I'll repay you to my full abilities" Tea asked, knowing money was out of the options because with the rising cost of living in Domino, and feeding herself, and now repaying the tall and handsome rescuer, the paycheck of a part-time waitress will not be enough.

"I already said I didn't intend to help you, and besides, I don't need your charity", was all that Bakura could say while trying to avoid looking into the blue eyes, which seems to be looking right through him. And after a second of refrainment, he walked away, not wanting to have a total stranger asking him questions. 'But she's a cute stranger' he tried not to think about it, now knowing how people he sent to the Shadow Realm felt, having their own thoughts betraying them. He devoted himself to one thing, and one thing only, revenge on the Pharaoh, and he would not let any thoughts, or anyone, for all that mattered, get in his way.

"We'll meet again someday! Thanks again!" Tea called after him, realizing that after all of the excitement, forgot to ask him for his name "What's your name?"

She was greeted with a maniacal laugh and he said, not even bothering to look back "Call me Bakura".

That night in bed, Tea couldn't sleep after all that have happened. But after she did fall asleep, her regular tearful dreams involving Seto was replaced by dreams wandering in dark alleys, not afraid, because Bakura was watching over her. Tea had a feeling that they would meet again.

It's probably gonna be a late update next, because I'm running out of ideas, besides, I dont know whether I should pair Tea up with Bakura or Seto in the end, and it's probably gonna be a very short story. Oh wells, plz read && review.

Laters.
