I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh.

I am a HUGE fan of Revolutionshipping, but mostly Yami Yugi/Atem. I don't mind Vaseshipping, either. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

"Yugi! Wake up pal!" a familiar Brooklyn-edged voice echoed in the small, spiky-haired boy's ears as he slowly drifted into consciousness. Yami Yugi opened his deep, violet eyes slowly, vision clearing as he made out the outlines of his best friend, Joey. The blonde's expression brightened up immediately when he saw that his buddy had finally come to. "You okay?" he asked.

Yami felt a little disoriented, as his memory of recent events, and awareness of current events, were failing him. "Whe-...where are we?" he inquired, disregarding Joey's question. Nothing in the general vicinity seemed familiar. Yami sat up and looked around. They were sitting in a secluded area amidst a huge jungle. Sporadic and potentially frightening noises sounded from their surroundings. The air was hot and extremely humid. Yami's skin and clothes felt slightly damp. Joey looked around as well.

"I have no idea..." Joey finally answered. "Last thing I remember, you, me, Tristan, Tea, and Bakura were eating at Burger World. My food was about to be served, and..."- he closed his eyes and pressed his palm against his temple -"I don't even remember what came after dat! I just...blacked out!" His skin also felt moist from the intense humidity.

Yami rubbed the back of his head with two fingers, trying to soothe the annoying headache. He then looked around for the others. "Where is Tea? And Tristan and Bakura?" he questioned. Joey didn't have to answer. Right on cue, Tristan and Tea came running from somewhere in the distance; Tristan's denim blue jacket was flailing wildly behind him, and Tea's short pink skirt waved behind her in a similar fashion. They stopped momentarily to catch their breath, and saw that Yami had woken up. "Yugi... you're... awake... !" Tea exclaimed, between breaths.

Wait...Yugi! Where is he?

Yami instinctively felt along his neck for the heavy chain that securely held his Millennium puzzle. It wasn't there. He looked around, hoping that it might have somehow dropped somewhere, or had been laid aside by Joey or someone else. Tristan looked at him questioningly. "What's the matter dude?" he asked. Yami didn't answer immediately. He stood up, fighting the wooziness in joint with sharp pains in his head. Joey held his elbow to steady him. "Has any of you seen my puzzle?" he muttered finally.

Yugi? Hello? Are you there? Yugi! Where are you?

"Your puzzle is GONE?" Tea exclaimed. Yami nodded in confirmation, after taking a final peripheral scan with his watchful eyes. "I can't sense Yugi's presence next to me. It's like he vanished off of the Earth." He tried his best to remain calm. He looked around once more, with his head this time. For that matter, it seems as if Bakura had disappeared as well. "Where is Bakura?" he asked. He had a strange feeling that led him to believe that Bakura's absence had something to do with them being in an unfamiliar territory. Then again, it was just a hunch. Like he is ever wrong about these things. The Millennium Ring around Bakura's neck had always proven to be bad news: for Bakura, and everyone else as well.

"Well, we searched everywhere for any kind of clue we could find that could tell us where we are right now..." Tristan interrupted Yami's thought process, his rampant gasps for air slowing down a bit, "but we couldn't find anything."

Tea nodded. "I did find some spiders and other critters that I wish I never had encountered," she added.

"Please, those bugs were smaller than my fingernail," Tristan winked at her. "You're such a wimp!"

Tea glared at him. "WHAT was that you just said?!" she roared at him, grabbing his ear. Tristan pleaded for mercy and rescinded his comment.

A sudden low growl emitted from a nearby area, interrupting their babble. It definitely did not sound like a human growl - more like a ferocious, hungry, killing animal growl. Yami, almost unconsciously, stood in a protective position in front of his friends. If Bakura was going to play a game with them, he was to make sure that none of his friends are hurt.
