Chapter 2

The next morning Yuriko got up early so she could see Yugi off to school. She fixed him some breakfast and he gobbled it down. He always loved her cooking. He really missed it while she was away living at college. Yugi soon got caught up in talking to her that he almost didn't notice the time.

"Oh no! I'm going to be late!" he exclaimed, as he quickly grabbed his book bag off the floor.

"I'll see you this afternoon!" she yelled to Yugi while he rushed out the door.

He waved goodbye to her and quickly disappeared, leaving her alone. 'I better get these dishes cleaned up so I can open up the game shop,' she said to herself. Next week Yugi would be off on his break from school, and they both would be watching the shop together. She looked forward to it, but for this week it was only going to be her at the shop until Yugi came home.

"Yugi, What do you have in your bag today for lunch?" Jonouchi asked eyeing the bag over Yugi's shoulder.

"Just something Yuriko fixed for me this morning." He replied, trying to keep Jou away from it.

"It looks and smells great!" Anzu added.

"She's a great cook!" smiled Yugi.

"A babe that knows how to cook. My kind of woman!" Jonouchi sighed dreamily.

"I think she's way outta your league, Jou."

"What do you know Honda! She may have a thing for younger men!" Jonouchi huffed.

"Yeah right Jou," Anzu giggled, "Keep dreaming."

Yugi just listened to them rattle on about his cousin as he ate. He soon began to feel Yami's presence.

'Yugi,' he asked inside of Yugi's mind, 'Could you tell me a little more about this cousin of yours?'

'Well, sure. She used to baby-sit me when I was in elementary school. She is a very caring person and a great listener. I could always come to her when I had a problem. Even though she was away at college we still kept in touch.'

Yugi wondered why Yami seemed so interested in her. Yugi never knew him to be so curious about someone before. Yugi had noticed how Yami tensed up inside of him when his cousin embraced him.

'Yami, is something wrong?' Yugi asked.

'No…nothing's wrong.' He said.

Yami knew he was lying to Yugi, but he didn't know exactly what was going on. There was no way he could explain it to Yugi when he didn't even know himself.

'Why is it this one girl has such an effect on me?' he said to himself as he retreated back from Yugi's mind.

The shop didn't have many customers today. Yuriko knew it was because most of the customers were school kids. It would be busier next week when school was out though. She was reading a manga when she suddenly heard the door open

"Oh Yugi, you're…"Yuriko trailed off when she noticed it wasn't Yugi. She was staring into a pair of big brown eyes.

"Sorry Bakura. I was expecting it to be Yugi back from school."

Bakura swallowed hard as his eyes melted into Yuriko's. He started to feel a bit dazed, when Yuriko spoke.

"Are you feeling okay?" she asked concerned.

He quickly smiled. "Yes. I am fine. No need to ask."

He walked up to the counter toward her, his legs feeling heavy with every step.

Yuriko put her manga down. "Did you come to set up a time that we can get together so I can help you with English?"

"I was hoping maybe tomorrow afternoon?" he replied softly.

"That should be fine. Yugi will be home and he can close up the shop."

Yuriko's heart began to beat faster as she found herself deeply entranced in his eyes. Her mouth became dry and she licked her lips for moisture. With her pulse quickening, she was able to tear her eyes away from him.

"I'll see you tomorrow afternoon then." Sputtering to get the words to come out of her mouth.

"Tomorrow then." Nervousness rising into his voice as he spoke.

Bakura dashed out through the door. He panted as he leaned onto the wall of the building outside.

'So after all these thousands of years you have returned to me.' Bakura's eyes narrowed and a cold smile plagued his lips. The millennium ring now apparently hanging around his neck glowing. 'I look forward to tomorrow my dear.'

A/N: So how do you like it so far. I hope I can make the transition from normal Bakura to dark Bakura okay. Same for Yami and Yugi. I know how I want the story to go but the hard part is getting it to flow altogether. I have written original short stories before but this is my first fanfic. Please read and review.
