When Chaos Arises

Chapter 6: Merry Killing Spree

"That means…then that would explain why Ryou is here…and how he was able to get rid of my darker half…everything." Raven said, shutting the book and placing it away. She sighed, standing up from her bed and heading across her room, opening the door and surprised to find someone there.

Jubilee stood there, one of the most annoying girls in school, with a strange guy behind her. He was tall, with tame, long white hair that went down to his mid back, and dog ears emitting from either side of his head. He had yellow eyes, almost creepy…Raven snapped out of her thoughts. Jubilee had her fist raised and ready to knock on the door, and then smiled widely when Raven came out.

"Hi, Raven! I was hoping I could talk to you, are you friends with that new boy?" Jubilee asked, holding the male's hand behind her.

"I am not friend's with him. I just met him." Raven said in her normal, monotone voice, "Now, get out of my way." She said, passing Jubilee with a shove to move the other girl out of her way.

"But I wanted you to meet- Nevermind…" Jubilee said in defeat, "Come on, Inuyasha." (*fan girl squee*)

Meanwhile, back with Ryou. He had left the strange room and headed downstairs, since it was around the time they would serve breakfast. Bakura had remained quiet, although he could tell his yami was awake, and probably planning something. The British boy sighed, walking down two flights of stairs and wakling down the hallway. As he turned the corner, he spotted Raven coming down, feeling a small blush come upon his cheeks, but turned to go see her.

Raven had saw the white-haired boy long before he had spotted her, and she hoped to remain unseen, but it seemed that Fate, as always, was against her. She nodded to Ryou once he came over, "Hey." She said bluntly, trying to hide her tiredness.

"Morning," Ryou replied cheerfully, he was always in a good mood in the morning, "Didn't sleep well? You look awfully tired." He observed.

"I'm fine." Raven said, starting to walk off, aware that Ryou was following her. She asked the question that had been on her mind all night, "How were you able to lock my darker half away?"

Ryou looked abit startled by the question, not really remembering what had happened. Not a second later, and to the unawareness of Raven, Bakura quickly took over Ryou's body, hiding the features that normally changed when he took over. "It's why I'm here," Bakura said in a fake British accent, that sounded almost identical to Ryou's, "I'm telekinetic, so I was able to find where your darker half hid, and put it away for a while. Although, it won't stay there forever."

"I know." Raven said, knowing that such good things never lasted forever. She observed Ryou for a moment as they walked toward the cafeteria. 'Something about him seems…different, but I can't put my finger on it…' she thought.

"Hey!" A male voice called from behind them. Bakura and Raven turned to see Marik running toward them at an amazing pace. Once he caught up with them, he caught his breath before talking again, "So this is Raven? I've heard a lot about you, but mostly that you never come out of your room."

"I normally don't." Raven answered bitterly, not knowing who this guy was.

"Well, good to see you out. Bakura, what are y-" Marik was cut off by a glare that Bakura was giving him, "I meant Ryou. Sorry, I'm…used to calling him by his last name. That's how it works in Japan." Marik quickly said. It was a lie, for sure, but partially true, since Bakura was Ryou's last name, it could definitely work.

Bakura nodded, "Raven, if you'll excuse us for just a moment," he said, taking Marik's wrist and dragging him off, "Be careful. I don't want her knowing that I exist, you got that?" he hissed.

"Sorry, I will be more careful next time," Marik said, then added in a whisper, "How are the plans going?"

"Wonderfully, they are finished and ready to be put into action. Meet me at the pier tonight at midnight, alright? We'll have a merry killing spree," Bakura said, smirking.

"Great. I will be sure to do that." Marik said, waving to Bakura as he walked off, causing the tomb robber to roll his eyes and walk off, forgetting about Raven.

However, Raven was long forgotten. She was determined now to find about these items, one of which Ryou held, and the other that that boy held for some reason. The millennium rod, if she remembered right. She had gone into her spirit form, turning into a large, black raven and disappeared into the wall, to hear their conversation. She was utterly surprised. Ryou didn’t seem like the type to do something like killing sprees, especially not with that blonde kid, who looked a bit evil himself.

After watching the two walk off, she returned to her normal form, contemplating what to do. She could tell Professor Xavier, although she wasn’t one to tell someone else and leave it alone at the hands of another person. So she decided, she would follow the two boys, and stop them from their massacre. And then she woul-

"Hey Raven." A voice said from behind her, startling her as she whipped around to face whoever said that.

It was the blonde kid from before. Marik, Ryou had said his name was. "Marik, right?" she asked.

Marik nodded, "Glad you remember me. I was wondering, you want to go out sometime? Like, to a movie?" he asked.

Raven thought about it for a moment. Did she really want to go out with someone who would kill innocent people? Well, maybe he was like Ryou, maybe the Marik who had been talking wasn’t really Marik. "Um… sure. Whatever," she said, not believing she had just agreed.

Marik smiled, "Great, how about…next Friday? Is that good?" she nodded, "See you then!" he said, smiling as he walked off. 'Killing sprees and a hot date, this day is getting better and better.' The tomb keeper thought.

~Somewhere nearby~

"Oooo~ That's just like him." Jubilee said, her face red from fury. She had recently broke up with Marik, and already he managed to find a date. Then again, she had too.

"Relax, Jubilee. You broke with him, so why can't he go out with her?" Inuyasha asked, having been standing behind Jubilee this entire time. He was starting to wonder who was more annoying, Jubilee or Kagome.

"Still, she is so not his type. But fine, let him go out with emo girl over there." Jubilee said, folding her arms angrily over her chest as she walked off, Inuyasha following her with a sigh.

~Back with Bakura~

Bakura smirked. Killing sprees, and keeping his camouflage, not bad if you asked him. 'All is going according to planned, and hopefully, things will go well and I can remain undetected for a while at this school…' he thought, while heading up to Raven's room. In order to figure out what this girl was all about, he'd have to examine her room and hopefully find some clues. He made that promise only a day and a half ago, but already he was setting it into motion.

He entered her room with no difficulty. The only thing in the door was a simple shadow block that could easily be passed through. He entered her dark room, smirking a bit at the attire. Almost everything in the room was black, a round bed was set in the center of the far wall from the door, on top of it a small, black crow stuffed animal, with red eyes.

The tomb robber continued through, looking through the books, and personal items, although not going through the bathroom, he wasn't sure if that was a good idea. Bakura couldn’t seem to find anything out of the ordinary, well, for a sorceress maybe. The room was packed full of books, one of which he found very interesting. It was laying on her bed, and looked like it had been looked through recently, since there was a page marked.

Bakura flipped open to the page, careful to listen if Raven would be coming back anytime soon, and looked over the contents. The page was the on the millennium items, and he smirked. So, she knew. That wasn't part of his plan, but then again, his plan wasn’t perfect. The transfer to Xavier's School for Gifted Children had been an awful surprise for him, but time to spend away from the Pharaoh, which he wasn’t complaining about.

"What are you doing in my room?" An irritated voice said from the doorway, and the sound of a foot tapping a solid beat on the floor.

Bakura didn’t jump, simply closing the book to face her, "I'm exploring, is that a problem?" he asked, no longer playing the voice of Ryou, or his prissy boy attitude.

"Yes, since it's my room. Now out." Raven demanded, moving out of the doorway so Bakura could leave.

But, the tomb robber didn’t move an inch, "You know, then?" he asked.

"Know what?" Raven asked, still managing to keep her glare on Ryou.

'Maybe she doesn’t know…' Bakura thought, "About the ring?" he asked, keeping his voice the same.

"I know about it. Though, I'm not sure why you would want to hide it. I think the Professor would be interested in seeing it. So you aren’t really telekinetic? It's shadow magic."

"It is." Bakura said, the millennium ring appearing on his chest, it had been invisible for most of the time here so far. "Now that you know, I'd very much appreciate it if you keep it a secret."

"But why?"

"Simple. The millennium items have bad reputations, and I'd rather not be hated at my new school already, right?" Bakura asked, heading toward the door.

"I'll stay quiet." Raven responded, watching him as he left.

As he passed her, he whispered something in her ear that startled the girl, making the color in her face disappear.

"Do not interfere tonight. Or it will be not only theirs, but your death on the line as well."
