Another chapter! Yay for me! Testing will be over soon, then they will hopefully be longer...

"Almost there!" Yuugi braced himself against the grimy walls still pulling at the chains that bound his friend. He was determined that if he left Bakura would go with him, but now, both the boys' hands were raw and bloody making their grips almost impossible. Bakura's cough grew worse and worse and he became more and more despondent. Yuugi knew that the sick teen was tired and needed rest but not until they escaped and found some help.

"What do you think you are doing?" A calm yet sharp voice hissed at them from the shadows making them look up into red eyes that blazed with amusement. "You could never escape me, even if you got free." The demon dropped down from its hiding place and ran a strip of shadow down the side of Yuugi's face. The area it touched felt icy cold and the freshman shivered from the touch. "So much like him..." it murmured.

"You, you'll never get away w, with this!" Yuugi shouted, standing his terrifies ground in front of Bakura.

"Oh, I don't know about that." It whispered, detouring around the brave child to hold up Bakura's heavy head from where it sagged on his chest in its claws. "He seems about gone wouldn't you say?"

"N, no!" Yuugi ran through the cloud of black, freezing him to the bone but effectively dissipating the threat only to have it rematerialize two feet away. "Leave him alone..." he felt weak now but suddenly he could feel his yami's emotions ten times better, now they were pounding into his head, coming at him from all sides and making him drop to his knees. "Yami...?" He felt confusion, self-hatred, pain, heartache, loneliness and despair all at the same time, completely overwhelming him. "I'll come back to you..." Yuugi whispered before passing out completely.

"Aibou?" Yami Yuugi was suddenly on the alert, looking everywhere at once. He had felt Yuugi, so strong, in fact, were the lingering feelings it made his head spin.

"What is it?" Tea asked, noticing Bakura's yami was doing the same. Everybody looked at the two until they locked gazes.

"I felt him." Yami Bakura stated and was answered by a nod from his rival. "They were so strong...I could have sworn he was here, next to me, with the Sennen Ring..." his voice broke but his eyes quickly turned hard, unwilling to show that he cared for his other half.

"He was hurt?" Yami Yuugi asked, his own aibou had been hurt, emotionally.

"Yes...I must find him!" He leapt up off the ground and made to run but instead whirled on his feet. He would've had a second visit to the cold hard earth if Joey hadn't caught him.

"We'll all go find them." Tea stated as Joey steadied the tipping yami. "Safety in numbers, right?"

"I guess so." Joey grunted as he slung Yami Bakura's arm over his shoulder, supporting most of the frail weight. "Where was them feelin's comin' from?" He asked the pair of sagging individuals. The white-haired darkness raised his head to the huge building looming on the mountainside.

"The...castle..."

SY: I have decided!

YY: What have you decided? Are you going to leave Aibou and I alone?

SY: Of course not! ^^ I'm just in a giving mood and decided that to the first one to guess the shadow's identity will have a special picture dedicated to them! Just 'cause it's fun!

YY: What if they don't want it?

SY: Then I'll give it to who ever does! And besides, maybe it'll motivate more guessers...

YY: I doubt it...

SY: *Mad* Go away! You're so mean! I'm gonna make you fall in love with Tea if you don't quit it!

YY: *Long anguished howl of despair* Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Etc.
