Ryou gave a pained cry. He didn't know where he was, but now he had a much more severe problem. Bakura was gone. Somehow he hadn't had any connection to the spirit in a long time. Now, his head ached as it was filled with many things. Sights of people doing horrible things, memories of anything bad anybody had ever done to him...words about how all of his friends "truely" were. He sunk to the ground, holding his head as tears welled up in his tightly shut eyes.
A boy stood outside in the late evening. He sighed. Why was he even there? His friend was always getting him into more trouble than any fifteen-year-old should be in. And these were not your normal teenaged troubles...Twice now he'd been dragged into some form of "epic battle against darkness", or whatever....he was pretty sick of it.....Yet, here he was again. He wore dark sun-glasses, along with what looked to be some sort of school uniform, or perhaps something out of a secret agent movie....A white button-down shirt with a collor, red tie, grey jacket and pants, ending at black shoes. He was, the very essence of what most would call a "dork".

Upon seeing the boy with the sunglasses, Anna came up behind him and said cheerfully, "Hi, Ryou! Where have you been?"

The boy spun around, almost startled. "Huh? Oh, er...I think you've...made a mistake..." he said, smiling a bit. He raised a hand to brush white bangs from his forehead.

Anna tilted her head slightly to the side as if to get a better look at the boy. "I'm sorry. I thought you were a friend of mine," she said. "I can't find him anywhere and he won't answer the phone."

The boy nodded slowly, then paused. "Wait...When was the last time you saw him...?--If you don't mind, that is." he asked, becoming oddly more interested now.

"Umm..." Taking a moment to think, Anna replied, "I'm...not sure...(Neither am I) Why do you ask?"

(You could've just made something up...but whatever...) The boy shook his head. "Erm--Nevermind that. Has it been about a month...?" he asked.

"Yeah. How'd you know?" she asked, clearly confused as to how the boy knew this.

The boy frowned lightly at her answer. "Well...that's no good then...Better tell Will we need to hurry..." he mumbled. He looked back to Anna. "Umm...My name's Bran, and, I'm sorry...but I should be going now..." he said, and turned to begin to walk off. He stopped not too far away from her and glanced back. "Oh, try to stay away from anything unusual...You'll live longer." he said before starting to leave again.

Anna caught up to Bran before he could get far. "What's that supposed to mean? What's going on?" she asked, not slowing her pace.

Bran tried to come up with a decent excuse and came up with...nothing..."Umm....I don't know what you're talking about, crazy lady....?"

Anna looked at him with a you-know-very-well-what-I'm-talking-about kind of look and said, "Of course you do and I want to know what's going on!"

Bran sighed. "Ok...Fine, I know what you're talking about....But I can't tell you anything...." he said, continuing to walk, and trying his best to just ignore her...

Anna got in front of Bran so that she was facing him and walking backwards, which might prove to be a bad idea. "You have to! If Ryou's in danger, I want to know!" she pleaded.

"Hnf...Technically we all are....but yes. Your little friends probably finding himself in a bit deeper than he should be. Don't worry too much, though. We're already on it..." he said. He knew that his explination most likely made absolutely no sense, but he could go telling just any random girl about all of this!
