Erisu is all alone with no home and no family. She feels hopeless, especially with her Yami, Aka, but then a boy with silver hair and brown eyes comes, comforts her and gives her a home. What would happen if she knew about the boy's Yami? Would she stay or run? (NO YAOI AT ALL!)

2. Chapter 1: The Yami

Here's some more! I DO NOT OWN YU-GI-OH OR ITS CHARACTERS!

Chapter 1: The Yami

As they walked, Bakura had his arm around Erisu's shoulders. She felt somewhat safe in his arms.

"Let's take a shortcut through this ally way here." He pointed.

They turned a corner to see a group of thugs blocking their path. Erisu was scared out of her mind. Everywhere was the gang's members surrounding them, more and more until the leader came out.

"Where do you think you're going?" asked the leader with a menacing tone.

"We just want to pass," Bakura stated plainly without eye contact.

"Well, leave the girl here and we'll let you through," the leader smirked.

Bakura just stood there, motionless. For a split second, Erisu thought that he was going to do it but that didn't seem the case because he wasn't doing anything.

"Hey, did you hear me?" the thug shouted. "I said leave the girl." The leader put his hand on Bakura's shoulder.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," a cruel voice passed through Bakura's lips.

Bakura grabbed the leader's shoulder and twisted it until Erisu heard a crack. The leader held his arm in screaming pain. The only thing that passed through his lips other than a scream was the words "get them!"

The others lunged at Bakura with full force. The first one was pushed back and kicked in the face. The others were getting punched one after another. Erisu escaped from the crowd and stood a few feet away from the fight. She watched in amazement as the people were stricken to the ground. For a tall, lanky kid, he sure packed a punch.

When all the gang members were lying on the ground knocked out cold, the leader ran away. Bakura stood there with his back facing Erisu.

"Bakura?" she called out.

Bakura turned around to face Erisu. Something was wrong though. Instead of the friendly, smiling Bakura, he had an evil demeanor about them.

"Bakura?" She called out again. Tears were starting to fall from her face.

Slowly, the evil face passed away to reveal the good Bakura back.

"Sorry about that Erisu. I don't know what came over me." Bakura said in a confused voice.

Erisu was releaved, though the tears kept coming.

"Hey! It's okay," Bakura hugged her in an embrace.

"I was so scared," she said in between sobs.

"Shh, it's okay now," he tried to calm her down.
