What a boy!

 

****

"I'm not a criminal, you ignorant fool. I kill whatever stands in my way, particularly monsters as I am a Guardian Force hunter, but not people..." she gulped. "At least not the ones that pose of no obstacle to me."

Bakura laughed viciously at her statement, which surely depicted a cruel person indeed, a killing machine that would wholeheartedly terminate lives in no time. Without hesitation he replied.

"So, what's your problem? You bear no fear, not the faintest hesitation into slaughtering when it comes to your fullfiling your morals. See this opportunity as your ticket back to your adventurous world, where you'll have the free will to hunt, once again. Isn't that good enough for you?"

"No. Stop insisting on your pathetic plans!" she retorted abruptly, him taken aback by her refusal, presuming that she logically demanded more to be rewarded for this typical action of hers.

"Don't you get it or do you lack a brain, pal? I said I don't kill people!" she screamed towards him, her voice harsh and aggressive that provoked him badly.

"Is your promise strong enough to keep your word to him? Since when have you become so soft and out of character?" he spoke in riddles that could be understood only by her. Thus she flew off the handle, he knew too much of her, and they had only just met!

"Don't you ever dare to mention his name, before you even try you'll have your tongue cut off!" she threatened viciously, her voice so sharp like her blade. He only laughed, and doubted the statement of her being a thick-skinned person indeed, now that he had found her weakest spot.

"I've never seen a sinner worse than you, Gillian, you're the one that should be dead for having felt like this for him."

It had to stop, she wouldn't allow the ghosts of her past being used by him just to throw off her inner equilibrium.

"It's none of your business, all the more. More sadly, you're out of the topic. I want money if I am to accept your proposal."

"Money? Our money will be of no use to you once you finish this job. But I have a better offer, you'll get something you've lost right now."

She kept on staring at him suspiciously, anticipating the possibility of a lie, for she could sense something fishy in his obviously ridiculous bluffing, one that still could not make sense at all. Nonetheless, nothing was reasonable enough to explain why she had been here in the first place, thus it wouldn't bother her to get accustomed to the new environment for a while, possibly it might be fun, even challenging to meet some new encounters.

Bakura began strolling around her motionless body, glaring at those hair-raising blue eyes burning while looking back at his, her body always in defensive position, bound to attack and declare a fierce battle, just to show him who's the boss.

"You don't believe me, don't you? Only by accepting should you be able to learn the plan, and find the way back. It's a one way road you have to take, no options are available for you. Think wisely, otherwise you'll regret it." That was it, her wrath had been set free, her body no longer could be controlled by the impeccable feelings of madness and fury.

"There are always options!" she growled brutally and drew her gunblade after she had kicked him violently down to the ground, removing with her sword that impressive ring of his, only to witness an unconscious young boy looking at her in desperate fear that almost pleaded her mercy. He spoke, in a voice very different from before.

"Please, don't kill me, I don't even know why I'm here. Don't hurt me, miss!"

She barely shuddered by the quick change in his behavior, looking down on him in pride and dignity for the way the boy was begging her, unable to tell the difference between Yami Bakura and Ryu in terms of appearance, without the faintest idea of what she held into her hand, which was in fact the spirit of the Millennium Ring, the person she had encountered in the first place. She lowered her sword in a skillful manner and spat next to him, giving him the creeps of what worse might be done.

"Suffering from mental disorders? Should have guessed that prior to talking with you, filthy two-faced worm."

The boy looked at her curiously, both in fear and wonder, oblivious to what she meant. Instead he formed a discreet smile of entertainment due to the funny way in which she was murmuring, while changing various faces, looking almost hilarious for the fearsome fighter she seemed to be implied by her way of dressing.

"Do I look like an alien to you? Hello, I think we can both speak English!" she protested ironically, just to make him giggle a bit more, then sighed and put her gunblade back, fed up by falling to such an annoying person.

"What crimes might I have committed to be surrounded by a stupid world full of jerks?" she hissed, and made the boy freeze. Eventually she offered a hand to help him stand to his feet, no matter how unusual it was for her to take pity of someone, maybe because she considered Ryu to be suffering from mental disorders. She had put the Millennium Ring into her left pocket after kicking Yami Bakura, bearing no idea of it's capabilities. Neither was she aware of it's influence, which was even now slowly beginning to take over...

If it wasn't for it, the boy would surely have a hard time.

"Thanks for sparing me, miss, I'm Ryu Bakura, pleased to meet you!" he said in a thoroughly embarrassing smile while rubbing his head, blushed at the sight of a specific part in her body. Gillian noticed, there was no way he would get away from this.

"Don't be fooled, I wear one size bigger on my bra to feel more comfortable!"

The boy lowered his head in shock, of all the things in the world he'd never except to meet a female with such a dirty mouth, that made him tongue-tied, so she decided to break the ice.

"What's your name, miss?"

"It's Gillian Thunderstone, but what the hell, you're the one who called my name in the first place!" she replied, putting question marks over his head.

"Really? Sorry, I do not remember the tiniest bit of it."

Fine, not only is he double faced, he also suffers from amnesia, what a boy... she thought inside her head, like most of the times she used to when someone dared to say something so dumb. All the more, she didn't want to upset an already troubled mind like his own seemed to be, therefore she did not mention more about this, instead she allowed him to go on with his blabbering.

"You must be new here, aren't you?" he wondered, only to recieve a sarcastic applause.

"Hello? Even a dog might have guessed that. Just ask something more... original, more complicated maybe? I'm a newcomer from far beyond this world, have nowhere to stay and all my Gil is just as useless here as your money would be in my country! What a destiny, you might predict!" she complained extravagantly, yet the boy giggled once again, something that was not offensive to her at all, therefore he dared to ask her one intriguing question:

"If you have nowhere to stay, why not come into my house?" he suggested, causing her blue eyes to pop out.

"What? First you try to make me an assassin, then go to bed with you? You can't be serious, man, are you?" she joked to his surprise by the unpredictable behavior towards him.

"Please, don't take me wrong, I do not mean any harm. Besides, how could I even dare something like that, knowing that you carry this...gunsword?" he murmured the last question through his teeth that almost sounded like a relief to her.

"It's a gunblade, never forget this name!" she snarled.

At least she wouldn't have to spend the night on the soaking wet pavement. It wouldn't hurt to rest once in a while in a comfortable soft bed, since she hadn't slept for actual moments of adventuring the new continents of the planet to where she had been, prior to finding herself here.

"Well, shall we get going?" she asked in unusual politeness, allowing Ryu to show the way to his home. They began walking the streets of the vast city, Ryu talking in his kind manners, Gillian not paying attention at all, unless hearing something of great importance.

"By the way, do you know what happened to my Millennium Ring? It's crucial to me because it had been a gift from my father. "

Apparently, he caught her attention by the reference of his ring, what was that called again? The Millennium Ring? What an odd name for such a jewel, she exclaimed inside her mind, though she had to admit that it piqued her curiosity to learn more about that thing lingering in her pocket.

"It's said to contain magical powers, guess it's some kind of a fairy tale. I've seen nothing about it!" he said cheerfully in complete lack of awareness what this thing was doing to him.

She was taken aback, for she believed in magic stuff; her world was magic too, in some ways. She could distinguish part of the truth of his claims, though she did not say anything about it. Just considering the probabilities of what kind of magical power she would be offered by possessing this marvellous item, made her reluctant to give it back, though not being allowed by her honesty to do such a thing, at the same time. Furthermore, she had a recollection of Bakura telling her that he possessed the body of a boy named Bakura. Could it be wrong of her to think of Ryu as a two faced person? Consequently, she decided to lie to him.

"Nope, not the slightest idea, but I'll make sure it will have been found by the morning." she lied in a promising voice, Ryu felt relieved in hearing that, therefore they kept walking the way to his home...
