On an unusually cloudy night in the city of Domino, there was an unusually bright light seeming to come from a small apartment building. Being that it was rather late at night or early in the morning depending on how you looked at it; the only inhabitant had lain in sound slumber. That is, until the bright light woke him up. Ryou opened his eyes slowly but had to squint so he could see. He pushed himself into a sitting position on his bed then looked about the room. Being that the light was so bright, he couldn't locate the source immediately, but eventually did when his gaze settled upon his millennium item, the Millennium Ring.

'Well, that doesn't look good.' He thought to himself before climbing off the bed and walked to where the Ring hung off the arm of a chair. 'I thought he was gone. I hadn't heard anything from him in a while…'

He then reached out to lift the Ring from the char but at that point the light the light became blindingly bright and the Ring emitted a strange force. The next thing Ryou knew, he was flung back across the room, thankfully landing on the bed, as he landed the room suddenly darkened, becoming pitch-black once more. At this point, Ryou would have to admit that he was scared, though he would probably have to admit that in any circumstance. He sat on the bed for a few moments trying to listen for any unusual sounds. He shivered a bit and glanced towards the window, which he had opened early in the evening. He sighed a bit realizing that there was no outside source of light and he was having trouble with getting his eyes to adjust to the darkness. His gaze then moved from the window toward a small alarm clock on his dresser and grunted irritably. It was nearly four in the morning. After, he shook his head and glanced to the bedroom door and jumped upon hearing the clinking of metal upon metal.

Ryou quickly got off the bed once more and moved to the door, making it about half-way until he felt his foot catch on something, sending him sprawling onto the floor. Soon after, he heard a light groan. Ryou felt his pulse quicken then hastily got back onto his feet, and practically threw himself at the wall. As soon as he hit the wall, he flipped the switch and heard a barely audible hiss. He turned in the direction in which he heard the sound and looked, his eyes widening. Nothing could prepare him for what or rather who he saw.

"B-Bakura?" He muttered with a slight gasp.
