Chapter 1
Bakura, Yami and Mariku have been back about 3 months. The hikari's still had no idea what they were, Bakura was a white tiger hybrid, Mariku was a lion hybrid and Yami was a snake hybrid. Each yami had a true form, a humanoid form and a human form; Bakura's true form was a white tiger, Mariku's true form was a lion and Yami's true form was a snake. Each true form was a little bigger than a polar bear, so their true forms were bigger than most animals while their humanoid forms are humans with animal features. They remembered how they became hybrids…
(Flashback)
The yamis had just got to Osiris to hear where they would go but as they listened to the wrongs and rights they got worried about where they would spend their eternity.
"Bakura you have committed many crimes one of which is you trying to kill Yami and release Zorc from the shadow realm, the gods and goddesses have worked very hard to seal Zorc in the shadow realm and you release him! That is the worst crime to commit. Mariku you have committed the crime of also trying to kill Yami and trying to rule the world which is also unacceptable. Yami you have done very well and have not caused any trouble what so ever. Here's my decision Mariku you're to spend your eternity in the bad part of the underworld, Bakura you're to spend your eternity in the worst part of the underworld being tormented for all eternity, and Yami you're going to spend your eternity in paradise." Osiris said
Bakura and Mariku embraced each other and let their tears flow freely at the fact they were never going to see each other, they were never going to see their hikari's again and they couldn't tease Yami anymore. Yami feeling sorry for the 2 watched as they were pulled apart and dragged down different corridors to different parts of the underworld never to see each other again.
"Wait just a minute!" Yami yelled at Osiris "You can't just break us all up, I know we get on each other's nerves a lot but we're the only 5 millennium year old spirits around we're like family though we don't always act like it even though those two would never admit it we need each other, Please Osiris don't break us up."
"You can go to the underworld with them." Osiris said and left
Yami was dragged down the same corridor as Mariku.
(With Bakura)
Bakura was being led down a dark corridor there was a faint light at the end. Once there the guard chained her up and pulled a whip out, he started whipping her hard on the back. All Bakura could do was struggle and scream until finally she passed out from blood loss.
(With Yami and Mariku)
Mariku and Yami were being led down a different corridor than Bakura. When they heard a very loud scream. Mariku's eyes grew wide he knew that scream it was Bakura's, Mariku started to struggle as much as he could, the guard smacked him but he just struggled more.
"Quit struggling" the guard yelled
"No that was Bakura screaming." Mariku yelled back
(Meanwhile with Osiris)
Osiris was getting ready to judge another soul when he heard someone praying to him
"God Osiris please let Mariku, Bakura and Yami come back to life and give them their own bodies we're their hikari's we need them around to help us out of tough spots please I beg you Osiris give us our yamis back." 3 voices said at the same time
Osiris called for the guards of the underworld to bring Bakura, Mariku and Yami to him. Bakura was brought first and she was bleeding badly, Mariku and Yami were next. When Mariku saw Bakura he rushed to her side taking her in his arms, she was unconscious.
"Your hikari's want you back you may go back with your own bodies but you have to be demons in order to go back." Osiris said
"Fine" Yami said
"Alright" Mariku said
"Okay" Bakura said waking up a little
With that said and done the yamis became hybrids and went back to their hikari's.
(End Flashback)
It was another day at the beach the hikari's and yamis lived not too far from the ocean now. So here they were at the beach the gang which meant Joey, Tristan, and Tea were there too. Ryou and Malik were currently trying to get Bakura and Mariku in the water. When they had an evil idea, they called Yami over and told him their idea he looked terrified.
"No they'll kill us" Yami whispered
"It's the only way to get them in the water, so do it right now!" Malik said
"Please Yami I want Bakura to have fun for once." Ryou said
"Fine" Yami sighed defeated
Yami called some Shadow Magic and gently picked Bakura and Mariku up and threw them in the water. They came up gasping for breath, they started growling like true animals and Yami knew that they were going to transform into their true forms so he tried to calm them down.
"Calm down it was just to get you into the water no harm done" Yami said gently
Bakura and Mariku slowly calmed down, when they did Bakura passed out; Mariku caught her and started to walk home. Mariku knew very well that when Bakura's close to transforming and doesn't she gets very tired and faints. 'must have something to do with her being a girl maybe that's why she gets weak and passes out' Mariku thought to himself as he carried her home so she could rest.
(10 minutes later)
Mariku reached the house, he unlocked the door, walked inside and laid Bakura down on the couch, because no one was allowed in Bakura's bedroom and nobody knew why, she just refused to let anyone in.
Pretty soon the hikari's came home worried about Bakura they kept wondering why Bakura could sound so much like a wild beast and then soon after she calmed down she always fainted. It worried them they started thinking that the Bakura they knew currently was actually an imposter. But anyway they came in the door about 5 minutes after Mariku brought Bakura home, Mariku was currently sitting in a chair next to the couch looking down at her with a worried expression.
(2 hours later)
Bakura finally woke up, everyone staring at her.
"What" Bakura asked
"Nothing we were just worried about you is all" Ryou said then added "Mariku seemed to be worried the most"
Bakura looked glad that Mariku was worried about her. She got up and headed for her room. Once there she went inside and forgot to lock the door. Bakura's room was scary to say the least, her walls were painted to look like stone and also painted on the walls were skeletons hanging by chains, she had them painted that way because it reminded her of the millennium ring, her bed was all black except the pillows which were blood red. In her closet was a hidden portal that led to India a white tiger's true home and since she was a white tiger hybrid she loved to go to India and transform into her true form which was a white tiger the size of an adult male polar bear. Anyway she never lets anyone in here because they would probably freak out about how scary it is.
Bakura transformed into her humanoid form in this form she has white tiger ears on top of her head, a white tiger tail and blood red cat eyes. She had decided to take a nap and it was a little easier to sleep in this form.
(6 hours later)
"Kura it's time for dinner" Ryou said from the other side of the door
"Yeah so get your lazy butt down here" Malik said also from the other side of the door
"Fine, I'm coming." Bakura answered sitting up in bed
"Yeah the gangs coming over too" Yugi said from the other side of the door too
"No thanks then" Bakura said
"Oh come on Kura at least for tonight please" Ryou said starting to open the door
Bakura panicking quickly changed into her human self, when Ryou opened the door. Ryou and Yugi gasped the room they were seeing was scary really scary. They now knew why Bakura didn't want anyone in here because they would get scared and run off.
"Hikari how many times must I tell you guys no one is allowed in my room, I don't even want anybody opening my door." Bakura said raising her voice a little
"Sorry Kura" The 3 said in unison
"Whatever. Now that you've seen it I suppose you can come in every now and then. But wait till I say you can come in got it" Bakura told them
"Yes mam" They said
"Don't call me that I don't like it" Bakura said
"Yes mam" Malik said
The four headed downstairs to the dining room and just as Ryou said the gang was there all of them sitting around the table. Bakura decided not to say anything instead she just sat down to eat.
(30 minutes later)
Dinner was over, the gang was still here and everyone was sitting in the living room except Mariku. Mariku had gone straight to his room after dinner, everyone figured he didn't want to be around the gang but Bakura knew better he was upset about something and she was going to find out. She made her way up to his room and knocked on the door. Mariku opened the door looking angry.
"What do you want" Mariku said in an angry voice
"I just wanted to know what was bothering you" Bakura answered
"Nothing just go away" Mariku mumbled
"Fine sorry for trying to help" Bakura said while tears started to form
"Kura I didn't mean –" Mariku started but was cut off
"Don't talk to me Ishtar!" Bakura almost yelled
Mariku watched Bakura go with a hurt expression the only time she called him by his last name was when she was truly deeply hurt inside or if she was downright angry and she hasn't been like that in 2 in a half months (The first time was in the month they came back). The hikari's came up hearing Bakura raise her voice and only saw Mariku with a hurt expression.
"Mariku what happened?" Ryou asked kindly
"She called me by my last name which means she's really upset, so it's best to leave her alone" Mariku told them
"Don't worry about it she calls me by my last name all the time" Malik said
"That's because she hates you" Mariku told Malik
