DISCLAIMER: I do not own Yugioh. I'm just a helpless fanatic with a crush on Seto Kaiba.

A.N.: Hey guys! Okay… this is my very first fic. So I'm going to ask this nicely…don't get angry with me for what might happen to your favorite character. And also, I thought of this story during the Duelist Kingdom Tournament, before I heard of Isis and Malik. Their Millennium Items, however, turned out to be the same by accident. Now on with the story!!

"W-where am I? What am I doing here?" It was dark and an evil presence filled the forest air. Ryou looked around. "I thought I was at home.."

            "Nothing to fear, my little hikari," a raspy voice replied. "Soon… it will all be over…"

            "What? What will be all over?" Ryou looked quickly around the dense trees. "Where are you? What do you want from me?!"

            "To answer your first question…" the voice answered. "I'm with you right now… in the ring you bear. What I want is your solid body!!!"

            Ryou looked in horror at the Millennium Ring around his neck. It was glowing. "I-I remember this! This feeling of a vortex swallowing me!!!"

            His screams filled the trees of the dense forest. No one heard him. And those who did, didn't care.

            It was a regular day at Domino High School the next day. Yugi looked up and smiled at Jounochi, who was sitting across from him, looking completely shocked.

            "I win."

            "NO WAY!!! AGAIN!?!" Jounochi shouted.

            "When have I ever not? It wouldn't be fair to you if I let you win." Yugi replied.

            "I know, I know. Good game, Yuge."

            That's when Anzu looked up and noticed that someone was missing. "Hey guys?" she asked. "Have any of you seen Ryou?"

            "You shouldn't have to worry so much Anzu," Honda answered. "He's probably just sick or something." Just then, the teacher walked in. "Everyone, put your cards away and take your seats. I have a special announcement." The class got silent. Yugi and Jounochi put their dueling decks into their bags.

            The teacher continued, "We're going to have a field trip for all the geography classes." All the students cheered, except for one. Yugi noticed that Seto Kaiba, who was seated two rows away from him, rolling his eyes. Apparently, he thought he was the only sane person in the class. Yugi took his mind off Seto and asked, "Where are we going?"

            "I was just about to get to that Mr. Moto. To further extrapolate on our Ancient History unit, we're going to visit some ancient ruins in Egypt."

            Yugi looked at his Millenium Puzzle and smiled. This would definitely be a treat for Yami. Even Seto started to look interested. The truth was that no one had ever been outside the country before, and this would be an exciting experience.

            Yugi went home in a good mood that day. Nothing could go wrong. "Grandpa! I'm home!"

            "Hello there, Yugi." Grandpa responded. "Listen, go upstairs and unpack. I need your help with inventory."

            "Okay!" Yugi said as he ran upstairs to his room. Wedged in the door was a note that read, "To the Pharaoh."  

            "I challenge you to a duel," Yami read over Yugi's shoulder. "And this time only one of us will leave the Shadow Realm alive."

            Yugi looked over the letter again. "There's no name."

            Yami looked thoughtful, "The Spirit of the Ring. Yugi, this battle is too dangerous to fight alone. We're going to need help."

Relick: Alright! Sorry if this first chapter was a bit short and a bit boring. I swear it will get better! Review and once I've gotten at least 10 I'll put up the next chapter!
