IT'S HERE! IT'S FINALLY HERE! WOOOOOOOOO!

So I've been wanting to write this fic for a while now, but I guess I just couldn't bring myself to do it, huh. But anyway, I hope that you enjoy this prologue, R&R and all that stuff. Now The disclaimer:

I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or InuYasha. If I did, I'd be the happiest person in the whole world and I'd puke rainbows every day.

Special thanks to Autobot00001 and white pedal!

"Unlock your power."

"Unlock your power."

"There's a journey ahead of you."

"Who is it?!"

He could see nothing but darkness surrounding him. Just what was going on? He suddenly felt a cold hand touch his shoulder and he heard an all too familiar laugh that made his blood run cold and had always haunted him in his worst nightmares.

He looks behind him and he froze as he saw a pair of soulless brown eyes like his looking at him with an evil grin.

"You'll never escape me mortal!" Bakura exclaims, "You can never be rid of me! For I am the shadows! And shadows never die!"

Ryou trembled in fear, he couldn't more nor could he scream. Suddenly, beneath him the ground started to shake, then before the boy knew it the ground collapsed and he started falling into an endless pit. He screamed as he fell while he continued to hear Bakura's laughter.

Ryou Bakura woke up, heavily covered in sweat. No, no he couldn't be back to that horrible place! The Battle City Tournament was over! There wasn't even any need for him to return! But deep inside, Ryou knew, no matter how much will he dispose of The Ring, it will come back. And the thief will always, always be there, waiting. Just as the spirit of the Ring always had since the day Ryou's father gave him the accursed Ring on his birthday many years ago.

The day he got the Ring was the day his nightmares began.

Ryou sat up on his bed and looked around. The Ring was nowhere to be seen. Good, it means that it hasn't reached him yet! Less frightened, Ryou stood up and was on his way to the bathroom. He washed his face when he noticed that something wasn't right so he glanced at his reflection.

There, staring at him, was a boy with silver hair, grey eyes and the Millennium Ring on his Neck.

"Long time no see, partner."

Ryou, wide-eyed in horror, jumped away from the mirror as he saw his dark side in his reflection.

"W-why are you here!" Ryou exclaimed.

Bakura crossed his arms and smirked. "Try and guess."

Ryou pleaded. "What do you need from me!?"

As he finished, the Ring started glowing very brightly. Ryou let out a short scream before the glow surrounded him completely and he disappeared from the room without a trace. The whole apartment was in dead silence except the sound of running water.

Ryou opened his eyes to see that he was lying on his back, somewhere of what he guessed was a forest. He looked around to find noting more than trees and grass in his field of view.
This was definitely not Domino.

"Where am I?"

Ryou sat up and got up on his feet, fear started to fill his mind as he was unfamiliar with the forest.

"It's okay, don't panic, don't panic. Calm down and observe the surroundings." He slowly calmed himself until he decided that it was the time to explore.

There was nothing suspicious or un-ordinary-looking and he couldn't sense anything strange. But it was surprisingly quiet for a forest where a wild animal can pop up at any minute, but thank god to that. Means that the area is safe at least.

Ryou stood up and was about to start walking, when something strange caught his eye.

There, in a tree, was a person. And this person was doing what looked like "chatting" with the squirrels. The person didn't even notice Ryou until the guy in question asked him something.

"Excuse me but, do you know where this is?" Ryou asked.

The person turned its attention from whatever it was doing and stared blankly at him

"What makes you think that I, a noble animal spirit would want to do something with you, a lowly human, huh?"

Ryou's eyebrow twitched. What was he talking about? "I'm sorry but do you mind explaining."

The spirit scowled in annoyance but explained anyway.

"We, spirits cannot be bothered by humans and demons in this so called "Feudal Era". But you seem like a freak. These clothes are not what humans wear around here. But they do seem like the ones that that Kagome girl wore. I wonder what that could mean. Now go, you're wasting my precious time." The spirit turned its attention back to the squirrels.

Ryou was dumbfounded. Of all the places, this was Feudal Japan! How!

"HOW DID YOU DO THIS!?" He yelled in his mind, referring to his Yami.

"I'm no the one at fault here." The thief replied dryly.

"Well then, who is?" Ryou demanded.

His Yami shrugged. "I don't know. We'll just have to cooperate to get out of here."

Ryou was uncertain of his Yami's idea. "How can I be sure that I can trust you?"

"You can't. But we're stuck in the same position, so it won't make me any advantage."

"True... Okay then, but I still don't trust you." Ryou agreed.

"Fine by me." Bakura smirked.

Ryou walked away determined to at least find someone else to ask.

"Yugi wake up."

Yugi opened his eyes to find what woke him up. And then he remembered Pharaoh's voice.

"What is it?" Yugi asked tiredly as he was waking up.

"I can't sense the Millennium Ring anymore."

"What?"

"It's not it this world anymore. Yugi, we should contact others." Yami says.

Yugi sits up and looks at his yami. "Okay, but this will wait until morning."

"Is everyone here now?"

The assembly consisted of Joey, Tristan, Serenity, Mai, Marik, Kaiba, Mokuba, and Téa. Though of course Joey had a problem with Kaiba being in the assembly.

"So Yug', why have you called us all here? And especially, why did you call Rich Boy?" Joey asked as he directed his eyes at Kaiba, who was crossing his arms and glared at Joey.

"Shut it Wheeler. We've got better things to do than listening to your stupidity." Kaiba snapped.

Joey felt his temper rise and snarled. "Why you-"

"Calm down, he's not worth it." Téa stopped Joey. He glared at Kaiba but quickly turned his attention elsewhere when Yugi spoke.

Yugi took a deep breath. "I've called you all because the Pharaoh can't feel the Millennium Ring anymore."

From all of the people present, only Marik knew how serious this could be. If the Millennium Ring was gone, so was Ryou. And that means Bakura can cause any kind of havoc wherever he was. And it wasn't exactly the best thing.

"I don't see what the problem is." Stated Tristan.

Yugi's Millennium puzzle started glowing, then his Yami appeared. "You don't understand. If Bakura isn't here, that means he's out of our control, we can't do anything to stop him!"

Silence filled the room. Truly, even with Yami Marik gone, Bakura was still dangerous. And now, they were powerless and they all knew too well what the spirit of the Ring was capable of.

"Can you try to find him with your Millenium Puzzle?" Suggested Marik.

"I'll try." Replied Yami.

"He closed his eyes and began to concentrate. Suddenly, the Millennium Puzzle started glowing.

He saw a vision of a forest. With tree's, flowers and animals running around, then he spots a white-haired boy with a blue over shirt with a white and blue stripped shirt underneath and a pair of blue jeans. He was wondering around the forest, when he turned around, Yami saw the boys face.

He found Ryou, which also means he's found his Yami as well.

"I've found him! But it's strange. He's in-"

He didn't finish as the light got bigger, everyone screamed and they were sucked into the light. The room became empty and in dead silence.
