Eye of the Storm
Q/N: Yo all! I was recommended by Hwoarang Girl to write for this category so I'm going to give it a shot. I'm also writing this in the middle of a huge storm, which just won't go away T_T! I'll get over it though.There are two realms in this story, the real world and the Shadow realm where the Duel Monsters live, so I'll be jumping into them quite a bit. Why not? (~~+*+~~ means change of realm). Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, I'll never own Yu-Gi-Oh, no matter how much I may want to. I made up one character, but that's about it. Darn.
Chapter One Family Ties
It was a rainy day in Domino City. The rain fell heavily from the dark, looming clouds above, mixed with the odd bolt of lightning and rumble of thunder. Yugi watched out of the window hopefully, praying for the storm to pass. He was alone as his Grandpa was downstairs running the game shop. The phone started to ring but Yugi was too lazy to answer it. The call diverted to the answer machine. "Hello, you have reached the Motou residence," Grandpa's voice rang out from the small box. Then Yugi's voice took over. "We're sorry that we can't answer the phone right now, but please leave a message after the beep and we'll get back to you." Yugi sighed heavily as a loud beep trilled from the machine. A woman's voice emerged. "Dad? Dad? Dad are you there? Oh well." there was a slight pause before she resumed. "Dad, its Solesta." Yugi suddenly bolted to attention. Solesta was his father's sister. Why was she calling? "I've heard all about Yugi being the King of Games, and I am very proud of him. But now, don't you think it's time for him to have a mother figure in his life? I called to say I think that Yugi should come and live with me in Malagar City. He'll be a lot happier here. Anyway, can you call me back about it? Bye!" the message ended. Yugi was shocked. Why would she want to take Yugi in now? She'd never taken any interest in him since his parents died. What made him so interesting to her now? Yugi stood up and darted for the door. "Grandpa!" Yugi called as he flung open the door and ran down the stairs to the game shop.

A sharp cold wind blew past the Dark Magician as he sat alone in a forest glade. He snapped out of his daydream abruptly and look up at the sky. It was cloudless and pale. Something didn't feel right. That wind had given the Dark Magician a bad feeling. It kept telling him that something was coming, something evil, something mysterious. "Hey Dark," a familiar voice came from behind him. He turned and saw the Celtic Guardian approaching him. "Did you sense it too? That breeze?" "Yeah.it's.disturbing." Dark replied, taking his gaze off of the Celtic Guardian and onto the floor. "It can't be.Genesis again.can it?" "I hope not." Celtic looked out at the tranquillity of their surroundings. "I can't handle all of that all over again.all that killing.Genesis was said to bring about a new beginning for us, but all it did was bring sorrow and bloodshed." "The new beginning never came.and it never will come." Dark sighed. He turned to face Celtic. "Do you think.Yugi will get pulled in too?" "Likely. He does have the power of the Pharaoh in him." "I hope he has no part in this. Yugi doesn't deserve it.he's too young to witness a senseless massacre." "He's an innocent. It would be typical of Genesis to drag him into this crap," Celtic started to pace around. "It's not fair on him." "We have to protect Yugi," Dark decided, rising to his feet. "Who knows what Genesis could do to him." "Genesis!" came the familiar call of Gaia the Fierce Knight. "Genesis is here! Its back! Its back!" "Shit." Celtic muttered. "This is bad.we'd better get ready to fight then," Dark said, taking up his staff. Celtic unsheathed his sword and grinned. "Yep, let's see what we can do," he replied, as he and Dark went to meet with Gaia.

"Hmph! Your aunt had taken no interest in you before the Duellist Kingdom Tournament, but now she wants you there with her." Grandpa sighed, an angry look on his face. "What do you want, Yugi?" "I want to stay here," Yugi replied. "I want to stay here with you and my friends." "Well, you'd better tell Solesta that," he replied, sitting down. "She sounds intent on taking you to Malagar with her." //Yugi! Yugi! // Yami suddenly interrupted the conversation. /What is it Yami? / He asked. //Something is wrong in the Shadow Realm. I can sense an evil presence there.// /You can? What is it? Do you know? / //I'm not quite sure yet.but it could be.// /Could be what? / "Yugi? Yugi are you all right?" Grandpa asked, noticing Yugi's deep concentrated gaze. "I'm fine Grandpa it's just." Yugi began. "Yami senses something evil in the Shadow Realm." "Yami?" Grandpa asked, confused. "The spirit of my Millennium Puzzle," Yugi replied. Grandpa nodded. "Something's wrong but I'm not quite sure what yet." "I see.does Yami know?" Grandpa asked. Yugi paused for a second. Yami hadn't finished what he was going to say. /Yami? Yami what were you going to say? / Yugi asked. No reply. He tried again. /Yami? Yami are you OK? Yami? Yami? Yami! / Yugi was starting to get worried about him. /Yami! Yami are you there! Yami! / "What's wrong Yugi?" Grandpa asked. Yugi's gaze had changed from concentration to fear. "Yugi? Are you all right?" "It's Yami.he's.he's gone!" Yugi stuttered. Where in the world could his Yami have gone? "I've got to call Joey, Tristan, Téa and Bakura over here now!" he said, running to the phone and calling all of his friends. Something was wrong, Yami had known that before he disappeared, but what could it be? And what did Yami have to do with it?

Many of the Duel Monsters lay beaten and scattered across the vast expanse of land. Everything there was dead, the trees, the plants, everything. The Celtic Guardian managed to pull himself to his feet, using his sword for support. He began breathing heavily. He was exhausted. "Dark? Hey Dark, where are you?" he called out into the dead wilderness. He searched around for his friend, and found him leaning up against a decaying tree. He immediately went over to him. "You OK?" he asked. The Dark Magician's head was hung low. He was as tired as the rest of them. He raised his head to meet Celtic's gaze. "I'm fine," he replied. "How's everyone else?" they both looked around at the devastation around them. It made Celtic's blood boil with rage to see all of this. "I'm not sure who we've lost," Celtic replied. "But everyone's beaten in and exhausted. I doubt any of us will survive another round of this." Dark nodded in agreement. "But.something felt different about this from last time." Dark began. Celtic sat down next to him. "It didn't feel like the previous Genesis attack.do you think Genesis has found a human host?" "I dunno.it kept saying that it needed human blood to continue its onslaught the last time we met.that was just at the beginning though." Celtic began to think deeply. It suddenly clicked in Dark's head. "Oh hyne!" he yelled. Celtic jumped with surprise. "Could it have found the same host as it had all those years ago?" Celtic's eyes widened. "If he has.then." Celtic was beginning to see the picture. "Then the human realm is going to suffer as well!" Dark jumped up, followed by Celtic. "What can we do to stop it?" the pair heard footsteps approaching them. They spun around, preparing to attack if they had to. From behind the dead trees in the forest emerged a figure wearing blue, with deep purple eyes. "Pharaoh?" Dark asked, lowering his staff. He emerged from the shadows. It was indeed Yami. "Pharaoh! Thank god its just you! We thought it was." "I know what you thought it was Dark Magician," Yami interrupted. "Is it as bad as last time?" "Worse," Celtic replied. "We think Genesis has found its previous human host." "But how can this be? His previous human host is." Yami paused, his eyes widened. "Oh no." "That's right," Dark replied. "Its previous human host still walks the human world. Seeing as Genesis has already got hold of him, there's no chance of stopping it now." "I'd better get back and warn Yugi, he may start to worry about me," Yami decided, turning to leave. "Gather up any survivors you can, then check with the Reaper to see who we lost. When you're done with that, contact me. Your presence in the human realm may be necessary." "Yes sir," they said in unison. Yami smiled at them then left them to the task of finding out who they lost and who lived.

"Whadda ya mean your Yami has gone?" Joey exclaimed as they all sat together in Yugi's living room. Yugi's expression depicted worry. He was concerned for his lost friend. "I'm not sure why, but for some reason I can't sense his presence anymore," Yugi replied. "It'll be OK Yugi," Bakura reassured him. "Your Yami will come back. I'm only thankful mine hasn't shown his face since Duellist Kingdom." "So are we," Tristan added. "Man Bakura, you act like such a jerk when your Yami is in control." Bakura nodded. Yugi sighed. He didn't feel comfortable without Yami. He'd forgotten how it felt to be alone, as Yami had been with him for so long. "It'll be fine Yugi.don't worry," Téa added. "Your Yami is a good spirit. He'll return soon enough." "I guess so.thanks you guys.I guess I just needed to hear that," Yugi smiled. Joey beamed happily. //Yugi! Yugi! // Yugi suddenly felt Yami's presence again. Yugi was so relieved. /Yami! Where have you been? I'm so glad you're./ //Yugi! Get away from Bakura! You're all in grave danger! //
Kay, this is my first stab at this area so constructive criticism and nice reviews are very much welcome. NO FLAMES please! I only try; I'm no perfectionist! The name of the other city in this I may have gotten from somewhere, so if I did, whoever it is owns it, but if not, I own it. I dunno! ^^ Okay, I'll see ya all for part two. And does anyone know how to sort out dialogue layout?
