"The Dreams"
Bakura's Point of View...
~In my dream, I strode through a long corridor painted completely black. Dull flames barely lit the way. I could hardly see my shadow.
Strangely, my shadow split from its position on the wall. It stood, facing me. I stopped.
"Hello again, little hikari." It hissed.
"Who are you?" I demanded, my hands curling into fists at my side. "What did you do?" I had quite enough of this- thing.
"I am you, the darker half that never existed until recently." It, me, answered. It smirked and although I could not see it, I could sense it, as if I had smirked. "You never hated until your Yami taught you to."
I shook my heard, backing into an unseen barrier. Suddenly, I was encased within a glass case. "NO!" I shouted in desperation. "My Yami is my darker half, tell me who you are!"
"You are in no condition to command me." I shook at the ice in its voice. It sounded like my Yami, too much like my Yami.
"Lave me alone!" I cried out, surprised at my own courage.
It laughed, "Well then, little hikari." It turned around and left.
I pressed my fingers against the glass. What was going on? Time seemed to slow as I sat on the ground in my invisible prison. Whether it was second or years that passed, I do not know. No one was here, and I was all alone. No one came for me, no one cared about me, why should I care about them?
'I don't deserve this,' I thought. 'They abandoned me, who do they think they are?!'
"Ah, I see you have begun to change your mind," a voice shattered my thoughts of torturing my so-called friends.
I gasped as realization hit me. This was exactly what it wanted me to do. I took a deep breath, determined. I would not give in to hatred.~
Téa's Point of View...
~I dreamt I was in a small and hard cell, with no food or water. I could not sleep because he would not let me. Who was he? What was he? What did he want from me? I did not know. Or was it they? Everything was blurred.
Once a day, they came to ask me things. Three men hidden by black masks. They were angry when I did not tell them what they wanted to know. The truth was, I did not know what they were speaking about.
Where were my friends? Why didn't they come for me? I held the bars tried to break them, but they were iron. I fell onto my knees, sobbing. There was no escape.~
Joey's Point of View...
~My stomach rumbled. I was starving. For days I had been stumbling through a jungle with nothing to eat. I was exhausted from walking so much, and just when I was about to give up, I smelled something cooking. "All right!"
I ran as fast as I could towards the delicious scent. I arrived at a campsite where Yugi, Tristan, and three men with black hoods ate. "Hey, Yuge, Tris!" I plopped down on a log next to them. "How about some food?"
They ignored me, slowly eating their food. Little by little, and it was killing me.
"Did you hear something?" Yugi asked.
"Nothing, maybe it was a dog." Tristan remarked, and took another bite.
"Arg! What did you say?" I was furious.
"No, it was nothing." Yugi took another bite and I fainted from hunger, anger, and betrayal.~
Tristan's Point of View...
~I was climbing a cliff, high above a waterfall. It was hard to hold onto the slippery rocks. I gritted my teeth as I reached up, to the top! "Yes", I cheered as both my hands were at the top.
Unexpectedly, my left hand slipped, and then I started to lose my grip. I saw three men dressed in black that looked identical. They came towards me. "Help me, please!" I shouted.
They pushed forward a boy, no, not a boy, it was Joey! I was saved.
"Go now, Joseph, show your friend what you think of him." Joey walked forward.
He stepped on my hand. I screamed with the pain. "Joey! It's me, Tristan!"
He didn't hear me, but smirked, "This is what you get for hurting me." Then he let go.
"Traitor!" I yelled as I tumbled, head over heels, down, down, down into oblivion.~
Yugi's Point of View...
~I was shuffling my deck, when Téa and Yami approached me. "Hi guys!" I said in my usually cheerful voice. I noticed that three men dressed in black were following them.
Téa slapped me while Yami punched me, then took my deck. "Come on, Téa, let's leave this loser." My Yami said, and they walked away, arms around each other.
I was in shock. {Yami?} I met walls. What was happening? How dare they! I would have to get revenge.~
Yami's Point of View...
~I was somewhere, watching Yugi and Joey shuffle their decks. I was surprised to see Yugi's Millennium Puzzle glow, and shocked when they vanished. "NO!" I shouted as I realized where they were now.
I transported myself into the Shadow Realm, and I saw them dueling. Yugi was winning and he laughed as Joey's soul was banished. "Yugi, aibou, what are you doing?" I cautiously asked.
He looked at me and sneered, "I am banishing souls to the Shadow Realm, and soon my Millennium Puzzle shall have the most power in the world!" He laughed sinisterly.
"Yugi, I sacrificed so much to seal the Shadow Games, are you just going to rip apart my work like this?" I was hurt.
"Yes, and I challenge you!"
I was taken aback, but I did not let it show. "I refuse."
"Then die now!" Yugi took a knife that three men covered in black handed him, and prepared to stab me.
Instincts took over, I grabbed the dagger and threw it as far as I could. "No, Yugi!"
He laughed and raised another blade. I turned on him. He had no right to attack me; I could best him any time! "It's time to duel!" I shouted.~
