Chapter 1: Haunted

Yugi hadn't gone to the talent show. He was sick that day, and was now on vacation. He looked at his friends and noticed someone was missing.

"Uh… guys? Where are Ryou and Bakura? They usually follow us around…" he said. Tea smiled at him.

"Maybe they moved. No one's heard from them at all." They entered the auditorium. The principal, Mr. Aono, smiled sadly. A news report was seen on the screen.

"Last night, one our best students was murdered. We will all miss you, Ryou Bakura." He said as the report before the students was seen. A boy wearing a black leather jacket, a ripped black v neck t-shirt, and dark blue jeans with white hair was seen. Blood poured out of him, but you could see a faint smile on his face. A sad smile that was so sad, it shamed everyone in the school. Yugi cried silently.

/Yugi? Are you alright?/

(No… I'm not. Ryou's dead, and so's Bakura. The Ring shattered. They must have broken it…)

/So, they're gone?/

(…yeah…) Yugi shot up, and ran to the bathroom. He and his friends walked to Kame Game Shop in silence. They had the feeling that they were being watched. They turned around and thought they saw a flash of white hair.

"D-did you see that?" Tea asked.

"T-the flash of w-white? N-no!" Tristan said. Yugi looked and entered the shop. As he closed the door, the lights flickered on and off until it was completely dark. Lighting up some candles, Grandpa smiled at Yugi. They all sat down when they heard a voice calling them.

"Guys… why did you have to do this to me?" They shivered as a figure appeared. It was the same boy that had died.

"R-Ryou?" Yugi asked. Bakura appeared as well.

"Don't give us your pity. You neglected my host, just like you're neglecting Ishtar. Actually, we're about to go see if Ra will allow us entry into paradise. We just wanted to tell you, we'll be watching you…" with that they left. Yugi looked at yami who had appeared. He looked shocked to see both Ryou and Bakura were going to paradise. Was it true? Would they be watching them?
