Kuraki-chan: Yupp, so I'm back with another newbie. You guys know the drill, I don't own anything YGO related and leave your reviews(: So, onto the story! :D

2: Beautiful Nightmares.

"Shadow? Shadow? Shadow? Shadow!" Lizzy's voice irritated the onyx haired girl awake.

"What's the matter, Liz?" Shadow asked tiredly.

"Look around, Shadow; I think we're in more trouble!"

Shadow rubbed her pale grey eyes, and looked around when they focused. "I'll bite; where are we? On the other side of New York?"

Lizzy shook her friend frantically, much to Shadow's annoyment. "We're in Domino City!"

Had it been in Shadow's personality, she would have laughed hysterically at her insane blonde friend. "Liz, this isn't Yu-Gi-Oh. I think you've been watching it for far too many years."

Lizzy huffed. "What if I can prove it to you?"

Shadow shrugged. "That I'd quite enjoy seeing."

Lizzy grinned and yanked Shadow up, pulling her down the sidewalk. The sky was an eerie shade of black and green and the further the two walked, the harder it began to rain.

"C'mon, Shadow! You loved this season!"

Shadow arched an eyebrow. Rain, eerie sky, she thought, wait, the rain! That was the omen of—

"Liz," Shadow began cautiously, "if you're right, and my hunch is right, than we need to get the hell out of here. Now."

Lizzy blinked in confusion, her light blonde hair sticking to her somewhat pale face from the rain. "You're having another one of those feelings, aren't you?"

"Sort of. But," her voice became a whisper, "if this really is the Yu-Gi-Oh realm, and this really is Domino City, and you know my favourite season, whose omen was the rain at night?" Lizzy gasped and Shadow nodded. "It's not safe out here. You know what Domino City looks like better than anyone, so where the hell are we?"

Lizzy looked around for a moment, then said they were probably a few blocks from the Kame Game Shop. Shadow mentally groaned; sure, they needed the Pharaoh's help, but Shadow couldn't stand any one of them. She just needed Lizzy to be safe.

A dark feeling came over Shadow. She knew she had to get Lizzy out of there and quickly as possible.

"I need you to do exactly what I tell you, Liz." The blonde nodded furiously, thinking, No way in hell I'm getting sent to the Shadow Realm not ten minutes in! "You need to run your happy little ass to the game shop as quickly as you possibly can. Once you get there, tell Yugi, the Pharaoh, who-the-hell-ever, what's happened. If I'm not there in half an hour, call my cell. You know I get service everywhere. If I don't answer, come looking within two blocks radius with the Pharaoh. If you can't find me, use your tech-geek-ness to use the tracking device in my phone to find me. Understood?" Lizzy nodded again. "Good, go!" Lizzy ran and Shadow sighed.

Shadow leaned against a flickering light post and ran a hand through her shoulder-length onyx hair. She loved trouble, but knew this was far more than she could ever bargain for.

"Well, what do we have here?" A sinister voice approached Shadow.

Bakura, of course, she thought.

Shadow looked to the white-haired, soaking wet teen with bored grey eyes. Not even the Millennium Ring around his neck spooked her like it would have Lizzy. She always had a fascination with the Ring and Bakura in general.

Bakura smirked at the girl before him. "I sense a dark aura within you, something I haven't come by lately. Who are you?"

"I go by Shadow," she replied simply and in a bored tone, "I've been called so because of my dark appearance and quick, fluent movements."

"You're a fighter?"

"When I'm bored."

"So you're troublesome?"

"To most, yes."

"Where are you from?"

"I'm afraid that I haven't the time nor need to divulge my life's story to you."

"You are a wise girl."

"I'm just not stupid like most. I don't trust easily."

Bakura stepped closer to the pale girl and his Ring began to glow. This made Bakura curious, very, very curious…

"I heard you and you…friend talking," he said slowly, "so I am well aware that she is waiting for you at the game shop."

"Your point?"

Bakura grinned. "Your premonitions will guide you to me; allow them after you meet up with your friend."

"Why would I do that?"

"Because you want to, and you know it." Bakura turned and left, and Shadow walked to the Kame Game Shop like nothing happened.

Kuraki-chan: mkay, there's chapter two(: Sorry they seem so short, they're always longer in my notebooks . I'll work on that though. Until then, review and here's a chapter three preview(:

CHAPTER PREVIEW;;

3: Devil's Doorway.

"Kiriki…" Shadow slightly gasped. She sat up and looked around; Liz was still passed out, and she was alone in the living room besides that.

Now I'm hearing things? Fantastic, she thought.

"Your premonitions will guide you to me; allow them after you meet up with your friend." Bakura's voice rang in her pale ears.

"What harm could it do…?" She muttered as she managed to sneak outside.

Shadow inhaled the post-rain night air and focused. Her feet began to lead her before she just followed what seemed to be pulling her. She walked a few blocks, then down a quiet street where she found Bakura sitting on his porch, grinning.

"I knew you'd come," he said as Shadow sat beside him.
