Hi, my name is Ryou Bakura; I'm 17 years old and live on my own in a flat, why you ask? Well for starters my mum and sister died in a car accident, then my dad died of cancer, I was also inhabited by a spirit inside my now empty millennium ring, but the pharaoh defeated him and the world was restored to peace, but even then I was still afraid of being near others because I keep thinking that the spirit will come back anytime soon, resulting into me being bullied again, but I soon began to think differently and began to socialize more with others without having to worry about bumping into him, oh how wrong I was about that.

(Normal P.O.V)

"Now what shall I do first?" Ryou said to himself as he walked into his apartment after he finished school for the final time, he had just graduated and was going to go collage, but the problem was that he forgot to apply for one, but he didn't really need to worry since there was plenty of time before he needed to sign up for one, he took his shoes off near the door after closing it, placed his bag onto the sofa before heading into the kitchen to make dinner, he decided to have chips, fish fingers, bake beans with tuna on top(1), some people would think this was gross but to him it was heaven, after he finished his meal he placed it on the table before heading to the fridge to get some filtered water.

After finishing his meal he placed the plate in the sink and began cleaning it, after that he decided to try out the new game Malik gave him for his birthday since he never got the chance to try it out before: Sims 2 castaway, the ultimate survival game, oh how he wished he could go to the island and live like that, and perhaps, maybe find his one true soul mate, he managed to get to the part where he was talking to Hugh and the others when he realised that it was late and that he should be getting back to bed, I wish, that I could live on an island with my soul mate Ryou said to himself as he readied himself for bed and went to sleep, he had no idea that his wish was heard by the gods of Egypt.

(The afterlife)

Ra and the other gods looked at the circle as Ryou went to sleep, the circle disappeared and everyone started to think.

"I think we should grant his wish, after all he is the one who has suffered terribly" Isis said to the council.

"Isis, you always say that when you see someone suffering" Anubis replied to her

"At least I believe in what is right, and I have the perfect people to be with him" she gave everyone an UN Isis like smile which nearly scared everyone

"I believe Isis makes a point" Ra says above everyone else "and I think it is right to let them be with him, after all they are the same soul and they both know the same pain as Ryou had when he lost his mum and sister, not to mention his dad even though he is the reincarnation some events are meant to happen one way or another"

"So what is your plan to make this all happen Ra?"

Ra gave them a sneaky smile "well he wants to know who his soul mate is since he played that game, so come closer and I'll tell you, and I'm going to need everyone's help to make it happen, and since we're helping Ryou I'd say we should help the other one out" they all came together to hear the plan.

(Back to Ryou the next day)

I woke up to the sound of knocking on my door, I groggily woke up and headed to my front door, to my surprise it was a mail man.

"Are you Bakura Ryou?" he asked

I nodded "yes I am"

"Sign please" he handed me a pad and while I signed it he began to take a letter and a package out of his bag, I gave the pad back as he gave me the little package and letter "thank you" he said then left.

I shut the door and placed the package and letter on the table before heading upstairs to shower, change and clean my face and teeth, I went back downstairs to the table and opened the package, inside there was a game and a letter from Malik, it said thought you might like it since you like the pc version I couldn't help but let out a slight laugh, I looked at the game and it Sims 2 castaway on Ps2, which I had in my room but hardly ever go on it, I already saw it when Yugi went on when he invited me over to his house, I looked at the other letter and opened it, I was shocked to see what was on it, it said:

Dear Mr Bakura

I am pleased to announce that you have won a chance to join the 'club meet your mate' that is happening on the 9th September at 11 o' clock sharp, there is a ticket within this envelope, make sure to bring it with you otherwise you will not be allowed to get on board, hope to see you soon.

I nearly fainted on the spot, first of all I don't remember entering a contest to this, second of all 'club meet your mate' sounded very much like the one from the game, so I thought it would be best to call Malik and see what he thinks, I went to the phone and dialled his house number, when he didn't answer I went to his mobile, which thankfully picked up.

"This is Malik speaking" he said on the other side of the phone

"Malik, it's me Ryou" I replied

"Well this is convenient I was just on my way to see you"

"Oh, ok how long will it take?"

There was a knock on the door "one moment" he placed the phone down and went to the door, to his surprise it was none other than Malik Ishtar "not long" he replied while he still had the phone near his ear before turning it off and walked in, I went back to my phone and hung up.

(Normal P.O.V)

"So why did you want to come over? No offense but you don't usually come here unless you want something" Ryou said as he sat near Malik

"Well, to be honest I want your advice, this is why" Malik reached into his pocket and unfolded a piece of paper "it's a ticket for a 'club meet your mate' problem is I don't know if I should or not"

Ryou's eyes were as wide as a dish, one because he was going over to Malik's house for the same thing and two he had one himself "actually Malik" he picked up the ticket that was on the table and showed it to Malik "I have the same thing"

Now it was Malik's turn to go wide eye "do you think we're being setup?"

"If so then who? Because I don't think Yugi would have been able to pull this off, especially with his friends"

"Yeah you're right" Malik leaned backwards thinking "how about we go together?"

Ryou thought for a moment "at least we would have each other's back right?" he asked with a slight smile.

Malik couldn't help but smile back "yeah we would, so I heard it's happening tomorrow?"

"Yep, since today is the 8th I think we should get everything ready first then we'll go out, how's that sound?"

"Pretty good to me, but don't you get the feeling something bad will happen if we take anything? Because I can't help the fact that it sounds like what happened on the castaway game"

Ryou thought for a moment, it's true that the name of the club was on the game, but would they really be stranded? If so then it wouldn't really matter considering the fact that he knew basic survival stuff and Malik always carried a knife with him for self-defence "I think we should only take the essentials like bath stuff, that way if we do get stranded then we would have them in our pockets since they are small enough to carry around with us, how about that?"

Malik scratched his chin before dropping it "I guess, but I'm going to have to put my knife somewhere since they are illegal to be taken on a boat"

Ryou gave him a sneaky look "only if they see you with one" he slightly snickered

"Who are you and what have you done with the real Ryou?" Malik joked before standing "alright let's go out for a while, and hang out"

"Then we'll talk more about what we're doing tomorrow" Ryou continued

Ryou got his shoes on and keys before going out the door with Malik and locking the door before heading out of the apartment.

"Let's head to the mall, I really need some food for tomorrow, if you want we'll have breakfast together before heading to the boat tomorrow, how's that sound?" Ryou asked as they walked outside.

"Sounds like a plan" Malik replied as he looked at the scenery.

(At the mall)

"Alright, we'll have a look around first before I get my food"

"Are you sure we shouldn't take any clothes with us?" Malik asked for the fourth time

"Yes Malik, besides I don't want to wake up on an island and having to carry a trunk with clothes in it, besides if we did have one then we'd use it to store our food"

"Fine then, so I suggest that we wear something we don't always wear"

"I can't really care what I wear, to be honest if we did end up on an island and there's a tribe then I would like to wear their clothes since I respect their ways"

"Oh yeah, then I can have everyone drool over my midriff and have girls drool over me and beg me to take them"

"I thought you were bi"

"I am but I would like to see their faces, especially the boys"

"Yes but we would have to gain their trust first, anyway let's do something, get something to eat, shop, then go home"

They looked at all the stores though some were not that much interesting, they went into a fast food place and it wasn't long till Yugi and his friends came in and saw them, they went over and asked "Hey Ryou, hi Malik, how you two doing today?" Yugi asked them both.

Although they didn't mind Yugi they weren't very fond of the others, because they always acted like Bakura or Marik were to pop out at any moment.

"We're doing just fine Yugi thanks for asking" Ryou replied with a smile.

"Yeah love to stay and chat with you guys but we're about to order, so could we leave you please?" Joey asked though it sounded more like sarcasm

"We're just leaving, we've finished anyway so see you jerks later" and with that Malik grabbed Ryou's arm and pulled him away from the group and shop "sorry Ryou but I can't stand being near them" Malik nearly growled

"It's fine Malik" Ryou rubbed Malik's arm to calm him down "let's get the food then go home, how's that sound?"

"Sounds okay to me" they both headed off to farm foods (2)

(After shopping and in Ryou's home)

"Whew, who knew carrying bags could be hard work?" Malik exclaimed as he fell onto the sofa.

"How about because you don't exercise?" Ryou laughed

"Very funny, let's laugh at the guy who has a knife"

"Ok, I take it back; now let's take this stuff into the kitchen so I can make us some supper"

"Sounds like a plan" Malik grabbed the extra bags and took them into the kitchen with Ryou in front of him and placed them onto the counter.

"How about you call your sister and tell her that you're sleeping over at my place, that way I don't have to wait for you and we can have breakfast at the same time"

"I'll go tell her now" he left the kitchen at went into the front room leaving Ryou to put the food in the cabinet.

"It's done, and I told her that I'll be going to 'club meet your mate' tomorrow" Malik said as he came into the kitchen.

"I just hope we're wrong" Ryou mumbled before speaking louder "you don't eat meat do you?"

"No I don't"

"Alright then I'll make you some veg soup, that all right for you?"

"Didn't know that was possible"

"It's also good if you ever get sick" Ryou began getting the food and started cooking.

(After supper)

"Wow Ryou, I'm jealous, even my sister isn't this good at cooking"

"Yeah well, if we do get stranded then you won't have to worry about starving yourself to death" Ryou smirked as he placed both his and Malik's dishes into the sink, washed, and dried them before putting them away "I'll get you some pj's, you look about my size anyway" and with that he left the kitchen and headed upstairs with Malik trailing behind him.

Ryou searched his drawers and found some then tossed them towards Malik "there you go, bathrooms opposite my room, the spare room is to your left when you leave this room"

Malik left the room, showered then went into the spare room to sleep, Ryou did the same routine as Malik and both slept into a peaceful slumber.

Thankfully Ryou set the alarm clock otherwise he would have slept in late, the time was 10 o' clock, so they had enough time to eat and get to the docks in no time, Ryou began to shower in his own bathroom while Malik was in the other one, both got changed into some other clothing, cleaned their teeth and headed downstairs into the kitchen, Ryou made them breakfast which didn't take long and hired a taxi to pick them up at quarter to 11, until then they decided to double check they had everything they needed if stranded.

"Malik, you will have to strap your knife under your jeans to make sure the cab and ship don't see it, ok?"

"Yes mum"

"Malik, could you please be nice for just a moment?"

"Fine" Malik noticed Ryou scratching his back and flinching "something wrong with your back there?"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it, it started doing this after I came out of the shower this morning"

"Do you want me to check?"

There was a knock at the door ""don't worry about it Malik" Ryou went to the door and it turned out to be the taxi driver "we'll be right down" the driver nodded and left "came on then Malik, no dilly dallying now you hear?"

Malik just rolled his eyes and left with Ryou, Ryou locked the door before following Malik down the stairs and out of the building into the cab "where to then?" the driver asked.

"The docks please" Ryou said as he and Malik got their seatbelts on

(When they got there)

"Here it is" the driver said as he pulled up

Ryou handed him the money the he and Malik got out of the car and found the ship they were meant to go on

"Tickets please" said the man Ryou and Malik showed him their tickets from their pockets "very well then, on you go" he pulled back the red velvet rope allowing them both to go past.

"Wow, I can't wait to try out some of this stuff" Malik said

"They should sell some swim trunks round here, let's find some then go swimming"

"Sounds like a plan"

They walked off and headed for the shops, not noticing the bright yellow eyes that were watching them from a distance.

"CANNONBALL" Malik shouted before jumping into the pool and causing a slight big wave to form and hit Ryou, both then swam to the surface to breath

"Malik calm down"

"I can't, I haven't seen this much water in ages" he slightly jumped higher

"I can see why"

"Where do you think the others are for this trip?"

"Well they could be late" Ryou said in thought

"Maybe we should shower then take a nap"

"Yeah, I guess" they both out of the pool and began making their way to their cabin "I wonder what our cabin looks like"

"Probably big, or medium sized, wait" both boys stopped "maybe we should eat something first and then sleep"

"Good idea" they both ran to the nearest shop and ate some chips before heading to their cabin again and taking a better look at it

"Now that is what I call a cabin" Malik replied

They both got into the pj's they got on the ship and placed their normal ones into a trunk and began to sleep in their beds, as they final began to drift off they did not hear the screams, bangs and thunder heading there way.

Ryou woke up to something soft, softer than his bed, and his back was starting to get hotter and more painful, he managed to pull himself up and take a look at his surroundings where am I? He thought, but as he looked he realized that his vision was hazy and blacked out again.

Malik woke up the same way, except his back was completely fine, his vision was fine although he needed to blink a few times to make them more accurate, though he wasn't expecting to find himself on a beach surrounded by palm and coconut trees, he then noticed a big arch shaped rock with something lodged between it, he suddenly realized what it was "oh sh…"

Ryou screamed, his back was burning like lava and begged that it would go away; Malik ran and turned his friend on his stomach but kept his head sideways so he could breathe, but when he pulled the top up it made him want to be sick.

"HEY, WHAT'S WITH ALL THE SCREAMING!?" Malik turned round and saw the last person he wanted to see.

(1) This is my comfort food, it dosn't taste bad

(2) Real shop in England, Don't know if it is in any other contry/State
