***UPDATE*** 1/7/05 I'm not adding new chapters or anything, just starting the long process of fixing up the errors in the chapters caused by the AFF database crash. Can't have screwed up chapters, it just ain't right..........


Ryou woke up laying on the cold tile floor. His body shivered from the coolness hitting his unclothed body. The room was completely dark, and he had no recollection of how he got there. His body ached, he could feel fresh bruises surfacing.
“How did I get here?” he ask himself as he crawled around in search of an exit. He reached out and touched what felt like a wall. He used the wall as leverage to help him to his feet. He slowly felt his way around until he found a light switch. The light revealed even more mystery to Ryou.
“Yugi’s bedroom? How did I get here? Why am I here?”
Ryou clenched his teeth together, eliciting a small hiss to escape his lips as the severity his injuries became more apparent. He saw his clothes strewn about the room, so he gathered them up and dressed as best he could. The shirt he had been wearing was now torn and splattered with blood. Whether it was his own or somebody else’s was of mystery to him.
Ryou made his way down the dark hall of the game shop until he saw a glimmer of light just ahead. He pressed ahead slowly with a slight limp, his body searing with pain. His eyes grew big as he entered the lit up room. It was the main lobby of the game shop, and Yugi was standing behind the counter,
“Ryou! Where did you come from? What happened to you!” Yugi exclaimed as he rushed to his friends side.
“Don’t know.......hurt” Ryou whimpered.
Yugi wrapped his arm around Ryou and began guiding him away.
“You’re bleeding Ryou, you need to get bandaged up. Come with me.”

After Yugi had tended to Ryou’s injuries, Ryou smiled up at his friend.
“Thank you Yugi.”
Yugi smiled brightly as he handed Ryou a clean shirt.
“No problem, here’s a clean shirt. What happened to you?”
Ryou slowly slipped the fresh smelling shirt over his head. He was careful not to aggravate any of the bruises.
“I don’t know Yugi. The last thing I remember was sitting at home reading.”
Yugi lowered his eyes.
“Did the spirit of the ring do this to you?”
Ryou shook his head.
“Bakura? I don’t think so. He stopped beating the shit out of me a few years ago.”
Yugi extended his hand and helped Ryou to his feet.
“If he ever hurts you, please tell me.”
Ryou nodded his head.
“I will Yugi.”
Soon thereafter Ryou left the game shop and headed toward home. His body still throbbed with pain with every step he took.
“Must......rest” he panted as he passed by a quiet little park that was halfway between his house and Yugi’s game shop.
He found an empty park bench and sat down to take a break
Ryou closed his eyes as the warm sun drenched his bruised and beaten body.
“Mmm” he mused to himself as he relaxed on the park bench.
“Ryou! I wish to speak with the spirit of the ring!” a voice growled from somewhere behind him.
Ryou snapped his eyes open and turned to see who was approaching.
“Malik?”
The Egyptian held up his Millennium rod and glared.
“No time for small talk. Call forth the spirit of the ring!”
