Chapter 2 - Someone New

Bakura sat there looking out the window of his little brother's room. Ryou was still unconscious from the collapse in the park.

Bakura was still feeling bad for what he had done to his brother. He looked at Ryou's sleeping face and looked out the window some more. “Why did I do this to Ryou? Why? Because I didn't see the dream yet. It's really all my fault. But why did I have that dream? That dream didn't come naturally from thought. I must find out where it came from or what it came from,” thought Bakura as he stared out into the starry sky that was now turning to dawn. The sun slowly was rising over the horizon. Bakura got up from his seat and took one last look at his sleepy sibling and left the room to go make breakfast for his sister and him. Just as Bakura closed the door to Ryou's room Ryou's eyes slowly started to open. He was now wide-awake and he sat up in his bed. “Why am I here? Last I remember I was in the park and now I'm here.” Ryou was confused but didn't want to think of the subject anymore. He went to his door and opened it to a small crack. He peered out and looked down the hallway and saw nothing. He then heard some clattering of pans and plates in the kitchen. He headed down the stairs and entered the kitchen and asked what Bakura was doing. “I'm making breakfast stupid, but am also glad to see you awake,” said Bakura who turned around and walked over to Ryou. “Why are you being so nice?” asked Ryou, scratching his head in frustration. Then Bakura told Ryou to sit down and he told him about the dream he had. “So I really want you and Zara to live a happy life instead of you and her dieing so soon and me living a horrible and miserable life.” finished Bakura who just looked at the ground. Ryou thought that this was a joke of some sort and Bakura was going to mock him for believing it, but when he saw his older brother's expression and how he was looking at the ground he knew that Bakura was telling the truth. “So do you need help with breakfast?” asked Ryou. Bakura looked up with a small smile on his face and they began to make breakfast for themselves and their sleeping sister. Back in Zara's room Zara was sleeping peacefully when her alarm went off. She scowled at the cursed beep beep beep of the clock. She hit the stop button and sat up in her bed. Zara rubbed the sleepiness from her eyes and got up. She started her morning stretches and went down to the kitchen for breakfast. When Zara entered she saw Ryou was awake and ran over to him. She embraced him in a big hug. Ryou was startled at first but returned the hug with a sweet smile afterwards. Zara also went over to Bakura and gave him a hug to which Bakura really wasn't expecting from her at the time but got through ok. They all got dressed for school and waited tell it was seven o'clock to go and meet Marik and Malik at their house. They all sat around on the couch (one on the floor) “Let's talk about this dream that you had Bakura. We can help you change it.” said Zara who was now getting her legs crossed and trying to get in a comfortable position. “Well I don't see how talking will help change the future but if you insist.” said Bakura who was getting to a laying position on the floor. As they talked Ryou looked up at the clock and said, “It's time to go get the others.” So they got their things such as backpacks, book bags, pencils, papers, etc. Once they reached Marik and Malik's house they knocked on the door. Malik answered and said, “I'm ready to go, but I don't think Marik is quite done with his hair. HURRY UP MARIK!!!!! He's trying to look good for Taylor or he thinks she'll dump him because of his hairstyle.” finished Malik who was now leaning against the doorframe. “Well tell him to not worry because she won't dump him because his hair isn't perfect. Just tell him to hurry up or else.” said Zara who was starting to get really annoyed. “Let's just go Bakura,” said Malik walking down the porch steps. Bakura looked at Zara who smiled at him and nodded her head towards Malik, signaling him to go on. Bakura and Malik left and Zara and Ryou waited patently for Marik to finish his hair. “Ok I'm ready to go pick up Taylor,” said Marik hurrying out the door. “Wait one minute Marik,” said Zara as she grabbed the back hood on Marik's shirt. “Ok we'll go get the rest of your friends.” They walked on to Taylor's house and Marik was the first to knock on the door. Taylor answered it and saw it was Marik. She jumped on him and gave him a hug. He returned the hug. “So are we all ready to go get the others,” asked Taylor now walking down the steps of her porch. Everyone followed and they came to Yami and Yugi's house. They were standing outside their house waiting for their friends. “Ryou, you're up and walking. How do you feel,” asked Yami. “I fell great and thank you for your concern,” said Ryou. He smiled at both of them and went over to talk with Yugi. Zara walked over to Yami and gave him a hug. He returned the embrace and told everyone that they needed to get the rest of their friends and hurry to school or they would all be late. Next they stopped at Shannon's house. She came out and walked on without asking anything. She was all droopy and tired. “What's wrong Shannon,” asked Zara. “I have this big history test today and I was up all night studying.” They walked on to Joey's house and Shannon was now out of the droopy mode and now was happy because Joey made her little flame into a bonfire. They arrived at Domino High and entered the school doors. They each went to their lockers. “So are you ready for that test Shannon,” asked Joey who was leaning next to Shannon's locker. “Yes and it was frustrating,” said Shannon who hugged Joey. The bell rang for student to attend classes. Zara and her brother Bakura went down one hall, Taylor, Yugi, and Ryou went down another hall, Malik, Yami, and Shannon went down the opposite hallway, and Marik, and Joey went down another hallway. Zara was silent when walking with Bakura. “What's wrong Zara? You are almost never this quiet,” asked Bakura. “Oh nothing. I just feel a little dazed that's all. I'm fine really,” said Zara. Bakura looked at Zara and then at the ground. “I feel like something bad is going to happen,” said Zara. She parted from her brother to her class. She sat down at a desk near the window and waited for class to start. The teacher entered with a boy next to her. “Class, this is Yonen and he is a new student and I hope you will make him comfortable here at Domino High,” said the teacher. “You can sit over there next to Zara and she will help you around the school. Oh and she is nice so it's ok.” Yonen sat down next to Zara and looked at her. She looked at him and smiled. He blushed a little and looked at his desk. Soon the bell rang and Zara was starting to leave when Yonen came up to her. “Hey Zara, I just want to thank you for helping me in class today.” “No problem. Well I got to go meet some friends.” “Can I come too?” Zara thought for a moment and looked at him. He was looking at her with innocent eyes and was smiling a sweet smile. “Ok follow me,” said Zara as she walked down the hallway to her locker. Yonen was right behind her. Everyone else came to his or her lockers. “Everyone this is Yonen and he's a new student here at Domino High,” said Zara. Everyone came over and greeted him with open arms well everyone except Bakura and Malik. “I don't just this guy,” said Bakura leaning against his locker. “I don't really trust anyone that's new,” said Malik in his deep untrusting voice. Zara walked over to Bakura. “Why aren't you saying hello,” said Zara. “I don't really trust this guy. He seems to come out of nowhere and makes friends so fast,” said Bakura looking at Yonen who was laughing with all his new friends. “Come on don't be so mean to someone who's new here. You said you were going to change your actions,” said Zara who was now right in Bakura's face. “I know what I said but this guy doesn't seem like a good friend.” “Whatever, but make sure not to be mean to him and that goes for you too Malik,” said Zara eying Malik. Malik just looked at her and scowled. He stormed off to the mall with his millennium rod in his hand. “Hey I got an idea. We could have an all night party for Yonen to get used to us like we did with you Zara and with Shannon and Taylor,” said Joey. “That's a great idea Joey and we can do it at Zara, Ryou, and Bakura's house,” said Shannon who was now hugging Joey for the great idea. “Wow Joey, you're getting smarter everyday,” said Bakura with a grin. “Yah I think your …… wait a minute. HEY!” Everyone started to laugh and they headed out the door to Zara, Ryou, and Bakura's house. Yonen was happy to have new friends that cared for him and he knew that he would have to do something nice to them. Everyone was having a great time and more were getting to know Yonen better. “So did you have any other friends where you used to live,” asked Yugi. “Well the truth is that I didn't have any friends except my twin brother Yonos,” answered Yonen. “You have a brother,” said Ryou. “Why yes but he doesn't like to socialize with other people except me,” said Yonen who saw Zara walk outside. “So we won't be able to meet your brother Yonos,” asked Marik who saw Yonen get up and go outside to where Zara was. “I wonder where he's going and why is he always following Zara,” wondered Marik. “You don't think…no it can't be,” said Ryou. “He likes her a lot doesn't he? Well he's going to have to talk with Yami about this one,” said Yugi. Zara was outside talking to Taylor when Yonen came out. Zara and Taylor didn't hear him come out so he had the element of surprise. He went over to a rose bush that was on the side of the house. He picked the rose that was the biggest and most elegant of them all. “So has Marik done anything special lately,” asked Zara to Taylor. “Not yet but I know he's hiding something from me and it's going to be great,” said Taylor who was filling with excitement. “Well I'm just going to go see what Shannon and Joey are up to,” said Taylor walking inside where the party was all happening. Zara just stood there and looked at the dark sky that was now lit by a million tiny stars. Yonen snuck up and put the rose in front of her, “Oh my dear god! Oh it's you Yonen. Is this rose for me? Thank you,” said Zara grabbing it from Yonen and smiling. “I saw it and it reminded me of you and how beautiful you are,” said Yonen smiling. Zara looked at him and started to smile but then quickly looked away. “What's wrong Zara? Was it something I said or did,” asked Yonen nervously. “No it was nothing that you did it's just I don't know,” said Zara looking up at the sky again. “Let's go inside and see what everyone else is doing,” said Zara who was starting for the front door. Everyone inside was having a great time. Joey, and Bakura were dueling in the living room and Joey was losing pretty badly. Shannon, Taylor, Yugi, and Ryou were talking and laughing on the couch. Zara went over to join them and Yonen went over to watch the duel. “So Zara, what did you and Yonen do out there,” asked Shannon with a grin on her face. “Well he gave me a rose but remember that me and Yami are dating and Yami would be mad if I went off with Yonen. He's a nice guy but not my type and I barley know him,' said Zara who was now leaning back on the couch looking at Yami with a dreamy face. “You still love that Pharaoh don't you,” said Taylor looking at the expression on her friend's face. “So you like a tomb keeper. I can like a Pharaoh if I want. It really doesn't mater as long as they love you back,” said Zara looking away from the handsome Pharaoh. “No I lost to Bakura! How could this happen,” shouted Joey from the living room. “Hey guys let's all watch a movie now, “ said Yugi and he stood up from the couch. Everyone came in and sat down somewhere. Yami sat down next to Zara and she leaned against him. Bakura sat down next to Zara also, with Ryou right next to him. Marik was in the armchair with Taylor on his lap. Joey was on the ground leaning against the couch with Shannon snuggled up next to him. Yonen was a pillow next to the couch. “Ok so what are we going to watch? “Alien Verses Predator” or “Curse of the Mummy,” said Yugi holding up the DVD cases. “I vote for “Alien Verses Predator,” said Joey. “I go with Joey,” said Shannon. “I also agree with Joey,” said Taylor. “I've never even seen that movie,” said Yonen. “What?! You haven't seen “Alien Verses Predator”! Where were you from again,” asked Joey. “Joey don't be rude. He is seeing it for the first time and you aren't going to say anything about it,” said Zara kicking Joey in the head. “Can you please put the movie in now so we can watch,” said Bakura in an annoyed tone. Yugi put the movie and sat down next to his Egyptian brother. After the movie was over half the teens were asleep. Zara was dozing off on Yami who was stroking her hair. Joey passed out and Shannon on top of him. Taylor was cuddled up with Marik asleep in the armchair. Bakura got up and left the room for a minute. Yonen watched Bakura leave and then looked over at Zara who was still asleep on Yami. Bakura came back with some blankets. He gave one to Zara and Yami. Yami wrapped it around Zara and pulled her closer. He then closed his eyes and fell asleep. Bakura put a blanket over Marik and Taylor and also over Joey and Shannon. Yonen got up and stretched. Bakura didn't notice him as he walked past and put a blanket over Yugi. Yonen just looked at him and sat back down. He laid down and closed his eyes. Bakura sat back down on the couch after turning off all the lights. He put a blanket over his little brother. He fell asleep and started to dream again. This time it was different.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“Where am I,” said Bakura who was once again in darkness. A light came out of nowhere and it shown on the same image in his last dream. The angel Zara trying to help the angel Ryou from the demon Bakura. “Not this again. I though I changed it,” said Bakura walking towards the scene. Then he saw something that shocked him by a million volts. Angel Zara was still clutching angel Ryou's wrists, but was slipping fast. Zara was pulling as hard as she could but demon Bakura was to strong and then pulled Ryou right in. Zara flew in the air and landed with a crash on the cold dark ground. Bakura ran over to help his angel sister up. She looked up and saw Ryou screaming as he was dragged into the fiery pit by none other then the demon Bakura. “No he can't take my little brother,” shouted Zara who was trying to get up but Bakura was holding her back. “Stop! He'll kill you if you go,” shouted Bakura over the roaring flames. “No! I can't leave him,” shouted Zara who was now crying in Bakura's arms. Bakura looked at his weeping sister and his eyes began to get wet but he held them back. “You have to go in there and find your brother Bakura or you will never see him again,” said Zara who was now pushing Bakura towards the fiery pit. “I don't even know how,” said Bakura who was trying to stop the pushing, but he lost his footing and fell into the pit of fire. He landed with a thud on the ground. He got up and brushed the ash of his face. He looked around and saw nothing but fire in every direction. Then he saw Ryou lying on the ruble ground. His angel wings were burnt black. He was unconscious and slowly dieing. Bakura rushed over to his little brother but a ring of fire came up around Ryou and blocked off Bakura from him. Out walked the demon Bakura. “Why have you done this you demon,” shouted Bakura to the demon. “Me? Why I didn't do this. It was you who did this. All of this was created be your anger and suffering. I'm only here because I'm showing you your future. I'm you,” said the demon who was laughing and evil menacing laugh. Then his face started to change. His face turned into a face that Bakura knew. It was the face of Yonen. “What's the matter Bakura? You looked shocked to see me. It's the first time we've met,” said the demon. “It can't be. You're not him! No you're not Yonen,” said Bakura backing away from the demon. “Oh I am! I AM!!!!!”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Bakura woke up in a flash. He looked around the room but couldn't see anything. The lights were still off and everyone was still asleep. He looked at his brother next to him who was still sleeping. He smiled and was glad his brother was still alive. Then he looked at his sleeping sister. He kissed the top of her head and got up from the couch. He went outside on the porch and sighed. “Not another dream. They need to stop. But what was Yonen doing in that dream,” said Bakura who kept on asking these questions over and over again. Back inside the house Zara was stirring in her sleep. Then she slowly opened her eyes. She looked up at Yami who was still in deep sleep from being up later then she was. Then she looked beside her and saw that Bakura was missing. She got up cautiously. She stepped over each one of her friends trying not to wake them. Bakura was still outside thinking about the dream he just had. “What's wrong Bakura,” said Zara, closing the door lightly behind her. “Zara did I wake you,” said Bakura who was now walking over to Zara. “No I woke up myself,” said Zara looking up at her brother's face. He looked at her and tears were starting, but Bakura was holding them back. It wasn't good enough to hide from his little sister. “You had anther dream didn't you, Bakura,” said Zara starting to hug her sad brother. Bakura returned the embrace and held her tightly. “This dream was different,” said Bakura pulling away from Zara. He told her about his different dream. She was more shocked about this one then she was about the first one. “So you really want to change or Ryou's life will be at stake,” said Zara. “Yes and I don't want that to happen,” said Bakura who was starting to get teary eyed again. “Why was Yonen in it though. What does he have to do with this. Don't cry Bakura. We'll change it and Ryou and I will help,” said Zara who was trying to cheer up her brother. “I'm ok. You need to get back inside and get so more sleep r you'll be grouchy in the morning and that's not good,” said Bakura with a grin. Zara chuckled a little and let out a big yawn. “Your right and you need some sleep too,” said Zara who was now getting carried back into the house by her big brother. She was put back on the couch next to Yami. Zara was already asleep when Bakura set her down. He smiled and then he caught sight of Yonen sleeping on the ground. He scowled at his sleeping face. “Not you. I won't let you hurt my family in any way,” said Bakura in his mind. He sat down on the couch in between his sister and brother. He looked up at the ceiling and his eyes slowly closed and his mind drifted into a deep sleep. The next morning everyone was awake and having breakfast. Well sort of because have the people weren't hungry. Yonen stood up. “Can I have your attention everyone? I want to invite you all to the roller skating rink for you all being so nice to me and making me your new friend. Why don't we meet there at two o'clock,” said Yonen with a hoping smile that they would say yes. “Sure why not. I haven't been there forever,' said Joey. So everyone left to their original homes and waited till it was time. It was a gloomy, grey day and the worst was it was raining. It was one thirty and time for them to all meet. Everyone was soaked while waiting at the doors of the skating rink. The doors were locked so they were stuck in the rain but at least they had a roof over them. It was Two thirty and Yonen still hadn't shown up. Everyone was soaked to the bare skin and were all freezing. Finally Yonen walked over with an umbrella over his head so he was completely dry. Everyone looked at him with a scowl. He looked at them and blinked. “What's wrong guys,” asked Yonen with a smile on his face. Nobody answered. Bakura was sitting on the ground with his head between his knees. He looked up and scowled at him. Joey was holding Shannon close to him to keep her warm. Shannon looked up at him and at once turned away. Joey just glared at him. Marik and Taylor were huddled on the ground hugging each other for body warmth. Marik didn't even look at Yonen and Taylor only scowled just like most of them did. Malik was leaned up against the wall of the rink with a hated look on his face. He looked up and glared at him with a menacing look on his unhappy face. Yonen looked over at Yugi and Ryou who were shivering as they huddled for warmth. Then out of the corner Zara walked out. She wasn't very happy to see him at the time. “What's wrong Zara,” said Yonen very nervously. “You made us wait a half hour in the rain with the door locked and now we're all soaked from the rain. How could you be a half hour late? I thought you said two o'clock and you show up at two thirty with what excuse,” said Zara sternly and loudly. “Well my brother and me got caught in a conversation and kept on talking. Then I got side tracked and forgot to check the time and then I looked and it was two thirty and then I thought that you guys wouldn't mind if I showed up a little late,” said Yonen with a little chuckle then he saw Zara's annoyed look and stopped talking. “A little late. You mean a half hour late. I can't believe you would be a half hour late,” said Zara who was getting really ticked. Malik looked up and smiled. “Your sister has some nerve to talk like that at a new student.” Bakura looked up at him and then at the scene where Zara was yelling at Yonen. He scowled at Yonen when he chuckled. “I thought you were our friend,” said Zara who was walking back to Yami in the corner. She embraced Yami for warmth and love of her best friend. Yami hugged her back and looked up at Yonen. He just looked at him and shook his head. “You really disappoint me Yonen,” said Yami holding Zara closer to him. Yonen looked shocked at what he said and then looked at all the unhappy faces of his friends. He backed away and dropped his umbrella and ran back to his house. He ran through the doors and ran to his room and shut the door. He dropped on the bed and began to weep. “Oh great now my friends hate me. Even Zara hates me,” said Yonen who was blowing his nose in a tissue. “What is the matter my brother,” said a sly voice from the open door of Yonen's door. Back at the skating rink everyone was getting ready to leave. Zara kissed Yami goodbye and left with her brothers. At home Ryou, Zara, and Bakura were huddled around the fireplace. “I told you we shouldn't have trusted him,” said Bakura who was just staring at the endless flames of the burning fire. “But we did trust him. It could be his brother's fault you know,” said Ryou. “What do you think Zara,” She didn't say a word. She just stared at the fire. Back at Yonen's house he was still whimpering in his room. “Don't cry my brother. I can help you,” said the mysterious voice at his door. “Can you help me Yonos? My friends all hate me and even the girl that I like hates me now,” said Yonen who was still whimpering. “I can help you get her back and your friends too,” said Yonos. “How?” “I have my ways.”
