A/N: Hello everyone. This is the same story as before but I just fixed it up.

Hope you enjoy it.

Darker Spirits

It has been two years since the Battle City Finals. Ryou, Bakura, the Dark Spirit of the Ring had befriended the good Marik. The Evil Marik had been destroyed. Noah was now living with his two stepbrothers Seto and Mokuba.

Yugi and Ryou were walking along the beach talking about their items. While their spirits were having their own conversation elsewhere.

"So Yugi…I was wondering have you ever had a build up of energy?"

"What kind of energy build up?"

"Magical energy."

"Not that I can really recall; Why?"

"Well I have. I feel that the darker spirit living within me will take over."

"Hey, Don't worry about it. As long as I'm here…that won't happen. Besides as long as you have Bakura looking after you there is nothing to worry about."

"I hope your right Yugi"

Behind the boys the spirits Yami and Bakura along with Marik were having their own conversation.

"So Bakura… how's Ryou?" Yami asked.

"He's much better."

"Well, that's good."

Marik was still rather jealous of Yami but that could not be helped. At least now they had a more stabile friendship.

"Yugi has grown up so much." Said Marik.

Yami had stopped and looked back at Marik.

confused "How so?"

"He's finally accepted his destiny."

" Yes he has. Not to mention his abilities have improved a lot since the Battle City Finals."

Bakura stopped. He looked back at the other two. " Yes the same is also true with Ryou. As it seems he has begun to accept me more."

Smiles " Didn't I tell you? If the two of you cooperate with each other… then there is nothing you can't do."

look of concern " Yes.. but lately I have a feeling he is hiding something from me."

" Like what?"

" I not sure what it is."

" Well I hope that nothing happens between the two of you. You work so well together." Marik said.

" Yea."

Both Yugi and Ryou came over to the group of spirits.

" So it seems you guys are having quite the conversation." Yugi commented.

" I'd say. It's funny considering the three of you use to be enemies."

" Well people can become friends once they begin to understand each other."

" True. It was like that with Joey and me if you could believe that. The same is true of the Kaiba brothers. Kaiba didn't get along with Noah at first but as time went on the two of them have come to an understanding."

" So anyway… what have you boys been talking about?" Yami asked.

" Well… Uh.. nothing important really." Yugi said. His face gave it away and Yami noticed.

" I know your lying to me Yugi."

" Well… it's uh… kinda complex."

" Nothing is too complex for him." Bakura said.

" I guess. Alright here goes…."

" Yugi!"

" Sorry Ryou but I think they deserve to know."

" Alright Ryou… what have you been hiding from me?"

sighs " Alright I'll tell you."

All of the others looked at Ryou intently.

" Alright you want to hear it… fine I'll tell you everything. Yugi and I have darker spirits living inside of us… similar to what happened to you Marik.

These spirits are like our true selves."

" So why didn't the two of you tell this long ago?" Yami asked.

" Well I did it because I didn't trust Bakura." Ryou said.

" And I didn't want anyone to worry."

" But now Yugi we're going to have to worry."

" I know that. But I don't think it's going to be as bad as you think."

" I hope so Yugi."

Hey everyone. What did you think? Like I said earlier this is my first Yugioh fan fiction. So please tell me what you think. Please review.
