Warnings and disclaimer are in first chapter. There's nothing to bad in this chapter so I hope you'll enjoy it.
My best friend, Lady Alexas, read the last chapter and almost strangled me at school. However it will get better so don't worry too much and I am still alive so shadows will continue to be updated. (glares at Lady Alexas for almost killing me)
Oh and leencz the nasty scene may not be bad to you but there are people out there who find it upsetting. As for where Yami is, you're wrong on both counts. If you want to find out where he is you'll just have to read to find out.
Btw, I'm a bit late in updating as I have a big family crisis going on. One of my cousins is in hospital... 'nuff said. That and the fact that this bloody chapter didn't want to be written.
Shadows: Chapter 3
Isis dropped to her knees as shock overwhelmed her.
"Isis?" Marik asked "You okay?"
"Yugi is fighting..." she breathed in deeply "Yami's father."
Gasps were heard all round but not just because of who Yugi was fighting. Yugi himself was enveloped in a black aura, similar to the shadow realm, and was turning a deathly white colour.
"We have to help Yugi or his soul will be lost in the shadow realm forever!" Ryou cried out.
Yugi was fighting two battles at present. One against Yami's father and the other a battle for his soul against the shadow realm.
Bakura looked at his hikari and saw how much Yugi's current state was affecting him, so he decided to take charge. "Ryou and you two psychos, get here now and do as I say." He ordered.
"We want to help too!" Jou said.
"Yes but only myself and the other ones are powerful enough to help Yugi control the shadows. Bakura said before walking closer to Yugi. "And it'll be a good idea if you kept and eye on the Pharaoh."
At his words, everyone moved over to check Yami and if he was okay but a shield prevented anyone from nearing him. They all settled for sitting as close as they could to keep an eye on Yami.
The two hikari's and two yami's stood close to Yugi as they prepared to help him. Ryou put his left hand on Yugi's left shoulder and his right on Bakura as Bakura put his left hand on his right shoulder. Marik did the same except the right side and his free hand went on Malik as Malik put his right hand on Marik's shoulder. Bakura and Malik then put their free hand on the on the others shoulder. A link of sorts had been created by the four of them. Bakura spoke through their link. "Focus all your energy to Yugi." as he spoke, he closed his eyes. The others followed suit and the darkness that was around Yugi slowly began to dissipate. The colour in his face returned gradually and the energy beam that he was firing increased in power as he drew energy from the four helping him.
"Thank you." Yugi said to them before looking directly at Yami's father."You're going back to where you belong."
Yami's father snorted. "So what? If your 'friends' hadn't of turned up, you wouldn't be able to do a single thing to me."
"At least I have friends to back me up. I don't see anyone over there to help you up when you fall down." Yugi smirked.
Yami's father growled but Yugi simply smiled dangerously at him. The smile didn't last long as it was replaced by a look of venom that would make a blind man cower. "You've hurt Yami for far too long!" Yugi's eyes flickered crimson and Yami's father gulped. "It's time that you went back where you belong."
Yugi's beam increased tenfold and he smirked slightly at seeing Yami's father's eyes widened in both fear and realisation that he had crossed a very big line.
Yugi closed his eyes and concentrated before speaking. "Thankfully for you, Anubis will judge you and not me or you'd already be in an eternal hell." Yugi said calmly before Anubis came and collected his soul. Yugi opened his eyes and nodded his head in thanks before Anubis disappeared with Yami's father.
The black aura around Yugi died down completely as he stopped the flow of magic.
The four helping him collapsed in exhaustion and the sudden loss of support almost sent Yugi to the ground.
He walked over to Yami slowly as he swerved slightly. He ignored everyone there and their looks as he passed straight though Yami's shield.
"Yami? He's gone now, k? He won't hurt you any more." Yugi cooed softly as he cradled Yami in his lap.
Yugi looked to everyone and the vacant look in his eyes haunted everyone for eternity. They had never seen their friend look so... so gone. They all knew it was because of Yami's current state. Not once did he even twitch whilst Yugi was fighting.
"Guys? What are you all doing here?" He spoke softly.
"We don't know Yuge. We were standing in the tomb, when we appeared here." Jou shrugged.
"Oh... Do you think we can get out of here?" Yugi asked stroking Yami's hair.
"If you wish us to." Isis said. Everyone looked at her. "Yugi called to us with his heart and we came. This place responds only to those who hold great power."
Everyone frowned before Yugi realised what she was on about.
"Basically, you need a large amount of magic to get here and to call others here. Am I right?" Yugi asked.
"Yes." Isis said quietly. 'You have no idea how right you are Yugi. It takes more magic than even the Pharaoh has to send just one person here. So for you to send as many as you did...' Isis added in her head.
Yugi thought again. "So in other words, I called you all here, so only I can send you back."
Isis nodded this time.
"So all ya got to do is wish for us to go back." Jou said happily.
"Okay but I'm gonna stay here for a bit longer. Yami doesn't want to go back just yet."
Most of the group looked at Yugi strangely. Yami said that he didn't want to go back yet? Yami hadn't even moved in the slightest. He didn't look like he was even breathing.
"Okay Yugi" Honda said warmly.
Everyone stood together as Yugi closed his eyes and wished for them all to go back. A small black aura covered him as he used his magic again. A white light covered everyone and when it cleared, Yugi and Yami were left on their own.

A/N: I'm really sorry that this one came out so late but things have been really hectic. This one is so you all know I'm still working on it.
