"Joey! Joey!" Tristan searched the perimeters of the park. No sign of Joey anywhere.
"Tristan?" Tristan swirled about to see Joey emerge from the bushes behind him.
"Hey, I thought you'd gotten lost." Tristan told him. "Not that I was worried or anything." He quickly added.
"Man! Feels like I was hit over the head with a CLUB!! Jeeze!! What a headache!!" Joey rubbed his aching head.
"Did you see Yugi anywhere?"
"I-" Joey stopped. Had he? He tried to remember something, but couldn't. "Nope, didn't see 'im."
"Hm. Well we'd better keep looking."
"Yeah..." Joey trailed after while Tristan lead down the sidewalk, calling out Yugi's name.
********************
"Yami?" Yugi asked, stopping suddenly.
"Yeah, Aibou?"
"How're we to find Yami Bakura?"
"I think I can still sense him." Yami closed his eyes briefly, then they snapped open again. "He's close. That way." Yugi followed Yami cautiously.
"So you still have your powers, Yami?"
"No. All I have now are my regular senses. He's radiating so much power that it's not too hard to feel it. you probably could."
"Really?"
"Yes, go ahead if you want." Yugi nodded and closed his eyes for concentration. 'What am I looking for?' He asked himself. Then he felt it. Heat was moving out in waves from the direction that Yami had indicated. The air was constantly moving away from there.
'I-I can feel it, Yami,'
'Yes, Yugi. Now let's hurry.' Yami went quickly on light feet towards the power's center, his aibou only a step behind.
"Shh." Yami knelt down behind some bushes, pulling Yugi down, too.
'What is it, Yami?' Yugi asked.
'I heard someone up ahead. Listen.' Yugi held his breath a moment and heard the voice.
"Stand up, Aibou." The voice said.
'It's Yami Bakura!' Yugi exclaimed silently to his yami. He stood quickly and moved behind a tree.
'Aibou!! What are you doing?!! You're going to be seen!!!' Yami stood and attempted to pull Yugi back to safety when they both heard Ryou whimper in the clearing up ahead. The two turned.
Ryou stood, back up against a nearby tree, Yami Bakura looming in front of him. They saw the evil yami grin mischievously and then, unexpectedly, Ryou cried out in pain. He fell to his knees, then passed out.
'Ah!!!' Yugi turned to see Yami doubled over in pain. He fell to one knee, teeth gritted and eyes shut tight.
"Yami!!" Yugi covered his own mouth in surprise of his exclamation. Too late. His shout had given them away.
"What?" Yami Bakura turned from his aibou and saw them. Yami relaxed for a second, the pain gone.. Yami Bakura looked them over. "Hm, if I didn't know better, I'd say something was wrong with the Pharaoh, wouldn't you agree, Yugi?"
"What did you do to him?!" Yugi demanded.
"Nothing. Unless..." Yugi watched as the Puzzle, now hanging from Yami Bakura's neck, glowed brilliantly.
"A-ah!!!!" Yami fought against the overwhelming pain. Yugi watched in horror as, just for a second, Yami flickered. It was like he was there, then he wasn't. But before it fully registered, he was there again.
"YAMI!!!!" Yugi dropped to his knees and shook Yami by the shoulders. No response. Yami stared out, unblinking and seemingly not seeing or feeling Yugi at all. "Y-Yami...!" Yugi sobbed, hugging Yami, trying to bring him back. 'Why is he so cold?' Yugi thought. He felt Yami twitch a bit, then Yami hugged him back. Tears streamed from Yami's now closed eyes.
"Aw, how touching." Yugi felt power radiate from Yami Bakura. Yami twitched again in Yugi's grasp.
"Y-Yugi..." Yami became slightly limp. His eyes welled anew with tears and they soon made their way down his cheeks.
"Yami!!!" Yami started to shiver violently and pulled suddenly away from Yugi.
"Oh, poor Yami." Yami Bakura grinned evilly towards Yugi. Yugi growled.
'Hold on, why do his eyes look... crimson? That's his Yami's eye color... not his!' Yami Bakura thought to himself. Next thing he knew, he was on the ground, Yugi wrestling for the Millennium Puzzle. Yami Bakura elbowed Yugi hard in the stomach, then kicked him. Yugi landed headfirst against a tree. He lay sprawled out on the ground, unconscious.
**************
"Yugi?"
"Nh?" Yugi opened his eyes.
"Are you all right, Yugi?" It was Ryou. Ryou looked pretty beat up. He had a black-eye, scrapes everywhere, and multiple bruises. His shirt sleeve was torn to reveal a nasty cut and his hair was untidy and a bit dirty.
"Ryou? What happened to you?" Ryou was quiet for a moment.
"I'll be fine." Was all that he would say. Yugi sighed and rested his head against the tree behind him, then he quickly recoiled.
"Ah!!!!"
"What is it?" Yugi tried to reach up to hold his head, but then realized that he was tied, hand and foot. He looked over at Ryou. He was too.
"I forgot, I hit my head really hard earlier." Yugi told him.
"Yes, you were bleeding." They were both silent for a minute, then the quiet was interrupted by Yami's moan. The two looked over at him. He, too, was bound.
"Ai-bou?"
"Yami? Are you all right?"
'Aibou, he's using the magic through me, but since I no longer possess the Millennium Puzzle, it threatens to tear me from here and to the Shadow Realm each time...'
"Will you be all right, Yami Yugi?" Ryou asked.
"Just - Yami." Yami told him.
"Okay, will you be all right, then, Yami?"
"...maybe."
"We're all awake, I see?" The trio turned to see none other than Yami Bakura. "Ah, little Yugi." Yami Bakura bent down and ruffled Yugi's hair. Yugi struggled violently against the ropes. They glowed white and tightened dramatically, so that Yugi could hardly move at all.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, Yugi, for it seems you yami is taking the weight of the Puzzle's magic." Yugi turned and saw that, indeed, Yami was in pain. Yugi stopped struggling. "Besides," Yami Bakura added, "Unlike the Pharaoh, you are mortal." He drew out an Egyptian knife and held the blade against Yugi's unprotected throat.
