Pharaohyamifan: Guess who's back! (Gets hit by rock) Hey!
Shadow: Took you long enough! Where were you!?
Pharaohyamifan: I've been on a major writer's block, do you mind?
Shadow, Light and Basset: YES!
Pharaohyamifan: (Ducks) Okay, okay! I'm sorry this sequal took so long to come up! I wasnt sure what to do, kicking around some ideas and stuff. I finally managed to come up with an idea! On a quick note, this fic is gonna take a long time to go through, and not just because I'm gonna make it pretty big. I've been getting writer's blocks for months now and they still pop up.
Shadow: So that means you're gonna take forever on this, right?
Pharaohyamifan: I'm trying, okay? I'm gonna update this as soon as possible, hopefully on a weekly basis, but I can't promise anything.
Light: By the way, didn't that new spin-off show up this year?
Pharaohyamifan: Yeah, it's called Yu-Gi-Oh 5D and from what I've seen it's pretty good. They duel on motorbikes, which seemed wierd at first but I like it. My friends don't like it, though, but I don't care! I'm actually coming up with a few ideas for that, too!
Shadow: Oh, brother! I know you don't like GX so much, but can you at least put this story up first?
Pharaohyamifan: Yeah, I'll try. I might put up a one-shot for 5D, but I'm gonna focus on this. Who knows, maybe I'll cross it with this story...
Shadow and Light: WHAT!?
Pharaohyamifan: Don't count on it! There isnt enough info on them for me to do something like that right now, but you never know. Actually, I just came up with an idea...
Basset: Uh, guys, I think the readers are getting bored.
Pharaohyamifan: Oh, right! Sorry! Well, let's see here... this is the sequal to my first fic Yin Yang Shadows, so before you read this, you got to read that or this one won't make any sense.
Light: Like you make any sense in the first place...
Pharaohyamifan: ANYWAY (Glares) Here's the fic! Welcome to Yin Yang Shadows 2!
Yin Yang Shadows 2
Summery: A new foe presents new problems for the Yin Yang Shadows; one they seem to have no way of defeating. Is there anything they can do? And what will it take to stop the evil this time?
Rating: K+ Note: The rating may change if things get too rough in here.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything Yu-Gi-Oh related, or anything that gives me ideas during this fic. They have their own owners and copyrights, and I am not claiming them for my own - Though that can't stop me from wanting them. Anyway, the storyline belongs to me, but I will put disclaimers at the bottom of the chapters if there's something I've borrowed from somewhere else (Like when I borrowed scenes from Spiderman for Yin Yang Shadows, which I did disclaim at the time.) Okay, I think that's it... Let's get on with it!
Chapter One: From Where We Left Off
Domino City. Usually on a night like this the city would be quiet and serene, peaceful and calming….
Unless you happen to be a member of the Yin Yang Shadows. Like Shadow.
((Hang left – down Russel Street!))
Though he heard the voice of his partner, Light, no words were spoken. Such was a benefit of their coveted mind link. No sound meant less chance of being detected.
(((Where is it going?))) That was Basset, Shadow and Light's cousin. The trio were currently swinging on Shadowropes through the city.
(Doesn't matter) Shadow replied. (Whatever it is, it can't get where it's going!)
((That's bad, because we just lost it!))
Shadow landed on a high roof that overlooked most of the city, extending his senses. Being the reincarnation of a Pharaoh also had benefits – like being able to sense the presence of Shadow Creatures at certain distances. Sadly, whatever they were chasing was not in that distance. (Darn it! Either it's gone back into the Shadow Realm or it got too far away!)
Light landed on the roof next to Shadow. ((We can't do anything more tonight. We'd better head back.)) He let a smile cross his masked face. ((Téa will be waiting.))
Shadow huffed, taking one of his Sais and twirling it between his fingers. His leather outfit hugged his skin perfectly, from the leather pants to the muscle jacket. Both garments were decorated with golden studs or symbols. His black gloves covered his hands, allowing the golden claws to peek through at the tips. His mask covered his nose and eyes, but also had two slim slits down the sides of his face, resembling fangs. Light's outfit was similar, but the gold was replaced with silver and his mask was without the fangs. Basset was the same, though she wore a skirt and had a whip instead of Sais.
(((Still no idea why the Shadow Creatures are doing this?))) Basset asked.
(None.) Shadow replied. (In the last few days, there have been more Shadow Creatures emerging than in the last fifty years.)
((Even with Cobrakhan's little party.)) Light added. ((Hard to believe that was only a year ago.))
Shadow sighed. (We need to go. You're right; there isn't anything else we can do tonight.)
With that the three launched Shadowropes and took off, their silhouettes showing in the moonlight.
Intermission: Motou Mansion
Téa looked up from her book when she heard the familiar thuds of three people dropping through the window, but she wasn't afraid. Standing up, she smiled at Basset and Light as they passed her before approaching Shadow, who smiled back as he removed his mask. His black mane faded, revealing tri-coloured locks that framed the strong face of Atem Motou.
"Any luck?" she asked.
Atem's face fell as he shook his head. "We lost it again. I don't know how, but they get away faster nowadays."
Téa smiled. "Maybe they're catching on that they shouldn't be here."
"That doesn't explain why they appear in the first place." Atem said, walking to sit on the sofa. "There must be something attracting them here, but I can't even find a trace of what or who."
"Maybe you should take a break." Téa said, sitting next to him and rubbing his back soothingly. "You've been swinging at night for several days. You might be exhausted from the work."
Atem sighed. "I can't. We need to keep on top of this."
Téa slapped his shoulder. "You'll end up collapsing, you know."
"She's right," the two looked up to see an old man walking up to them, his grey hair still sticking out under his bandana. "You and Yugi are working too hard on this. Simon and I already took you both out of school for home-studies because you fall asleep during class. You both need a break."
Atem let out another sigh. "I know, grandpa. But it's the weekend, so Yugi and I don't need to study, so we can both sleep in… please?"
Solomon smiled. "Alright. Now, let's get some food in you."
Elsewhere, in a dark and cold void, a low laugh echoed throughout.
"Soon, pharaoh…. You'll meet your end…."
Pharaohyamifan: There it is, chapter One all up!
Shadow: Ooookay. So where's the villian? The action! Come on, I'm a superhero!
Pharaohyamifan: Keep your pants on! I'm getting there! Besides, I don't want to give too much away.
Shadow: Fine, fine, but hurry up. The readers have been waiting a while, and more people put the prequal in their favourates and alerts while they were waiting for you to get your head out of the clouds and write!
Pharaohyamifan: Okay. Now, for the readers, I need a little help. I have the general idea for the layout of this fic, but I've got some gaps between things. I would really appreciate some ideas, and I'll let you know by personal message if they fit in with my plans.
Shadow: Sooo, for anyone who wants to put in their 2c worth, just put it in your review - for those who don't know, it's the little button at the bottom of this page.
Light: Uh... they should all know, you know.
Shadow: (Shrugs) Just being safe, partner. Now, let's go. I gotta get ready for when the action come along (walks off)
Light: Which is gonna be next chapter, by the way! (runs after Shadow)
Pharaohyamifan: Okay... Please leave opinions. Thanks!
