Yu-Gi-Oh! Ring of Power

Padme: So, we're actually writing something good.


Sekhme: We are, hikari?
Anakin: Well, she seems enthusiastic about it.
Sekhme: Thats a start, I guess.
Padme: DISCLAIMER, DAMMIT!
Anakin: Alright, alright, already.
Yami no Bakura: I'll do it.
Anakin: Pfft. Whatever.
Yami no Bakura: Padmejem does not own Yu-Gi-Oh! or Lord of the Rings. Though she would like, it's not going to happen.
Padme: It's not? ;-;
Anakin: No.


Chapter One:

It was one of those days, in Domino City. One where a certain starfish-haired boy reckoned something strange was going to happen.
/Yami, do you also believe today is strange?/
The voice inside his head did not answer.
/YAMI!/ the boy named Yugi almost yelled through his mind link.
//Wha? Sorry, hikari, I was...asleep...//
/Five thousand year old spirits...asleep?/
//Yup, you got that right, hikari.//
Yugi went his normal way, towards the building known as school. 'Jou!'
'Yug!' the tall blonde answered, with his usual grin. The two trudged on to class, is the normal, dreary fashion, followed by a silent CEO, with his silver suitcase.
'Aving a bad day, Kaiba?' Jou asked, still grinning like a deranged hyena.
'Quiet koinu. Mokuba broke his wrist this morning...Trying out the duel disks. At least now I know why the executives think it's too heavy for a young child to handle...must work on that.'
'And re-employ them too?' giggled Yugi.
'And re-employ them too...' added the tall brunette coldly. Seto had a tendency to dismiss anyone who annoyed him and Mokuba unnessecarily.

The lecture that morning was so dreary, Yugi wondered whether Kaiba's deadpan voice could actually rival the lecturer's.
Kaiba was about to scream out 'SHUT THE HELL UP', when the most ridiculously happy sound came from the main building. The bell.
Yugi could have sworn he heard Seto breath a sigh of relief.

As they were dismissed from class that afternoon, the three of them noted something quite odd. Okay, extremely odd...Possibly quite ridiculous.
'Why is there a huge swirling vortex of black in the middle of the yard?' said Seto, raising an eyebrow.
'Your guess is as good as mine....' Yugi scratched his temple in puzzlement.
Each stepped towards it curiously.
//Aibou, it wouldn't be a good idea to go near that thing...It doesn't look safe...// Yami said anxiously through Yugi's link.
Yugi ignored his yami, even though it was hard to, knowing he would probably scream it at Yugi three or four times to try and get his attention.
The trio stood there for a while, pondering the age old question. 'To risk, or not to risk?'
Risk, obviously. Jou, being the most impulsive, dived straight into the swirling black hole.
/Do you think it's an entry to the Shadow Realm, aibou?/ Yugi asked Yami worredly.
//Don't think so, I would be able to tell...// the reply was confident, yet disturbed somehow.
A trio of yells came from behind Yugi and Kaiba.
'Hey Yugi-kun! Seto-kun!' Malik, Ryou and Bakura chorused together...grinning similarly to the way Jou usually did.
'What's with the swirling vortex of doom, Yug?' Ryou blinked.
'It don't look like a Shadow Realm portal, hikari...Where's Jou?' Bakura ruffled his white hair idly.
Kaiba and Yugi pointed towards the void with perfect synch. Malik sweatdropped.
'Isn't that just like Jou? We'd better follow. Can't leave him to drown in a swirly black mass, can we?'
What can only can be described as a sigh was emitted from Kaiba's vocals at that moment.

The five of them took a pace toward it, before being sucked into it without warning.
And so, a white-haired tomb-robber, his overly kawaii look-a-like, a tall CEO, a tanned blonde smothered with gold,
and a guy who looked like he had a starfish on his head, pummelled towards wherever they were going.


Padme: You like? Sorry it's a little short, but I haven't had my caffeine shot today...
Anakin: Well, I may not be included in this fic, but I can tell that that tomb-thief of yours is going to cause all hell to break loose.
Yami no Bakura: Say another word, and it's the Shadow Realm for you.
Padme: Not to mention uncleaned 5000-year-old toilets.
