Yami......
A.B: grrrrrrr
****Back In the real world (They got transported back)****
Yami opened his eyes. The physical world was strange. He averted his gaze over to Artemis, who was helping Tori and Lenna up.
"Are you alright?" she asked, every word stretched slowly.
"Artemis," Tori whispered. She pushed herself erect with her staff and tried to stay up, but couldn't without help. She leaned on the sorceress and the blood ran down her arm.
"You're hurt badly Tori," Lenna said, trying to help her as well. "You mustn't fight."
"Lenna," she coughed. "I won't last much longer anyway."
"Don't say that!" Lenna exclaimed, supporting her friend's weight.
Yugi and Crystal stared around their surroundings. They were back in the alleyway that they had began with. The same secluded alleyway from before.
Yami glared at Null and walked towards him, deck drawn. (K.C: HOTTIE!/A.B: ACK! *falls over*./Seto: -_-(;)
"Null, I will end all your lies now," Yami whispered, anger dripping on each word. "All the pain. All the suffering."
Null didn't look intimidated by this.
"Finally, a chance to duel with Yu-Gi-Oh!"
"I SUMMON THE DARK MAGICIAN!" Yami yelled, holding his card forward.
Just then, Tristen and Joey whirled around the corner.
"I think I'm sick Tristen," Joey muttered, staring down the alleyway. "I'm seeing strange things man."
"Yeah," Tristen replied. "Two Yugi's and some creep in a weird outfit!"
"Not to mention...TORI!?"
Joey ran over to the girl who was being supported by Artemis and Lenna.
"Lenna!" Tristen yelled. "What happened?"
Tori pushed Joey away and let go of Artemis and Lenna, mustering all the strength that she could.
"NO! TORI!" Lenna screamed as the girl walked over to Yami.
"I'm sorry," she whispered. "For ever doubting you."
"What!?" Yami asked, staring at the girl, averting his attention from Null.
Null took the advantage.
"Guardian of the Tomb, destroy Yu-Gi-Oh! ANNHILIATION!"
"NO!" Tori screamed and pushed Yami out of the way, taking the attack head on.
"To-Tori," Artemis whispered.
Lenna just gaped.
"Tori!" Joey gasped.
Yami just stared.
"Take care of Artemis...Lenna," Tori whispered weakly as she fell backwards from the blow, her staff falling to the filthy ground.
"TORI!" Joey yelled and caught her. "Tori! Tori wake up please!"
Lenna stared with anger in her eyes.
"NULL, YOU WILL PAY!" she screamed, tears streaming down her face. "I SUMMON THE RAGING SOUL!"
A blinding light and before her stood a winged girl, much like her fire fairy. She had blazing anger in her eyes and a large staff.
"Attack!" Lenna yelled.
The fairy took her wand and pointed it at the monster. Blazing red started to burn like a fireball. It shot at the Guardian.
"Feel my pain," Lenna whispered as the attack flew forward. "My sorrow, and my anger. Tori, I will avenge you."
She dropped to her knees.
"No! Lenna!" Artemis exclaimed, realizing that the girl had used too much of her energy.
Tristen ran over.
"Lenna," he chided, picking up the girl and walking over to Yugi and Crystal. "Lenna!"
The girl opened and closed her eyes slowly again and again. Then, she shut them, taking one last look at the boy before...
"LENNA!" Tristen yelled. "Lenna! Stay with me Lenna!"
Joey was getting the same effect with the other Egyptian girl.
"Tori?" he asked, pushing away some of her bangs. "Tori..."
Yami stared at his friends and then, back at the old advisor who was hurt from the attack from Lenna's Raging Soul, but was still very alive.
"You hurt everyone that I hold dear," Yami whispered.
"I won't take it anymore!" Artemis yelled, standing beside Yami. She threw a card forward. "RIVER NILE!"
"Dark Magician!" Yami screamed. "Dark Magic Attack!"
"CURRENT!" Artemis yelled, using the magic card.
The Guardian of the Tomb was blown away.
"No!" Null exclaimed, taking a step back.
"Dark Magician!" Yami exclaimed. "Attack again!"
"KEEPER OF TRUST!" Artemis called, a cloaked figure appearing. "WINDS OF TIME ATTACK!"
"Celtic Guardian!" Yami yelled, summoning yet another card. "Attack with Dark Magician and Keeper of Trust!"
"ATTACK!" Artemis exclaimed.
The powerful mass of energy flooded over the caped advisor and with a scream, he disappeared, ashes on the ground.
Artemis and Yami only stared at the pile, shifting with the wind.
Yugi and Crystal ran over to them.
"Yami?" Yugi asked, staring up at his other side.
"Artemis?" Crystal said, standing in front of her.
The two Egyptians stared at their lighter halves' worried faces.
"There's nothing to be afraid of," Yami said, a small smile on his very cute face. (K.C: I HAD TO! I'M SORRY!)
"Everything will be fine," Artemis replied, smiling gently at Crystal.
"But you and Yami?" Crystal asked.
Suddenly there was laughing from behind them.
The four turned around and noticed a shape growing. The laughter was awful.
"Null!" Yami yelled. "Yugi! Watch out!"
He pulled the boy away as a burst of energy shot out. It didn't hit them, but it did hit Crystal.
"CRYSTAL!" Artemis screamed and caught the girl as she fell. She stared at her and tears were forming.
"You must defeat him," Crystal whispered, smiling. She coughed. "And then, please, be happy."
The sorceress laid the girl down on the ground and got up to face the advisor.
"I listened to your lies," she whispered in a deadly tone. "I did your bidding. I hurt my own friends and now...I WON'T HAVE IT ANYMORE!"
"Pathetic," Null said, waving his staff at her. "THUNDER STORM!"
"CALIGONOUS REFLECTION!" she screamed, rays of dark light from Null's attack, flew back at him.
"NOOO!" he yelled, as he blew away and the tunic dropped to the ground with his staff, broken in two.
Artemis turned slowly and smiled weakly at Yami. She quickly ran over to Tori, Lenna, and Crystal.
"We must revive them Yami," she whispered.
They both summoned spells for healing and cast them over the three girls. Tristen and Joey, both petrified, watched this happen and stared, confused at Yugi.
"Explain later," Yugi mouthed to Joey. His friend nodded and stared down, back to the violet-eyed girl, who's shining night sky eyes were staring back.
"Joey..."
"Tori!?"
Tristen felt Lenna stir.
"Tristen?" Lenna asked, confused.
"Lenna!" Tristen exclaimed, happily. He pulled the surprised girl into a hug.
Just then, Artemis stumbled back a few paces.
"You used too much energy," Yami said, trying to help her regain her balance. "You must rest. Crystal is healed now. You can go back to your soul room."
"But I don't want to go back," Artemis whispered, feeling his arms wrap around her, to steady her.
"What?"
"I want to stay here, with you."
"Ar-Artemis?"
"I love you."
Yami stared at her clear, sapphire colored eyes and saw himself staring back, smiling.
Artemis closed her eyes "Yami" she murmedred still in his embrace.
The ancient spirit looked at her "What is it love?"
Artemis clenched her eyes shut "I'll miss you..." she whispered
Yami looked at her shocked "What, what do you mean?"
Artemis looked at him tears rolling down her cheecks "Dont wait up" she whispered
But as soon as those words left her lips there was a flash of light when it dissapeared Artamis, Tori and Lenna were gone.
***In Bakuras Soul Room***
Bakura was about to separate from Ryou when there was a bright flash of light in his soul room. When the light resided Bakiura stood dumb founded before him stood his sister and her servents Lenna and Tori.
"Artemis" he whispered not beleaivng his eyes.
The sorcessress gave a small smile and walked toward Bakura. Tori and Lanne stood behind watching.
"Bakura I've missed you" Artemis said sadly. Before hugging her brother.
The man grinned "And I've missed you but-" Bakura stopped in mid sentence as he looked into Artemises eyes. They were about to spill over with tears and full of pain and sorrow. "What happened?" Bakura asked a worried tone in his voice.
Artemis turned away from her brother "With Null gone the spell he cast is slowly wearing off..." she paused and looked over at Tori and Lenna "We have to leave. I think I know a way we can return but..."
The white haired boy paled "What is it?"
Tori looked at Artemis and spoke up "We arent sure if the spell will work"
Lenna sighed "We are destined to die. Fate planned this"
Bakura shook his head and clenched his fist "so basicly your going against fate is that it?"
The girls nodded. Artemis looked into Bakuras dark brown eyes "At first I thought we shouldnt tell any one but....I couldnt leave with out telling you" she whispered before thrownig herself into Bakuras arms. Trying to find a place to escape even if just for a moment.
The ex tomb robber gave a tired sigh "You havent told Yami?"
"No, I cant. I'm not sure if the spell will work and if it doesnt then I dont want to get his hopes up..."
Bakura hugged his sister tighter "Artemis, If there is anything I can do..."
Artemis gently pulled away from her brother "Beleave in me. Just like you always have"
And with that the girl dissapeared. As well as Lenna and Tori. They were gone.
Bakura shut his eyes refusing to let his tears fall "Come back soon" he whispered.
****Back At The Battle Site****
Crystal fell to her knees "I, I cant feel her..." she whispered, tears falling down her cheek.
Yami turned to face her "You cant sense her but how?"
Crystal stood up and looked at the sky it was dark and stars speckeled the sky "They left. But they WILL come back."
Joey looked shocked "How can you tell. They told me they would dissapear and never come back"
Crystal turned sharply to face Joey. Determination sparkeled in her eyes "We have to beleave in them we have to beleave in HER." she said in a strong tone "Artemis said dont wait up. We have to keep living. We have to keep going. But we have to have hope" she said looking at them.
Yami nodded, Tristen and Joey looked away not sure what to do. Yugi ran over to Yami and hugged the spirit.
Tristen sighed "She will come back. Lenna...will come back" he said in a not so sure tone.
Joey looked at him "Yeah. And Tori..."
Yami just thought, staring at the dirty alleyway floor.
Crystal looked at the stars again as if trying to find an answer in their shine "Im going home to Seto...I'll see you guys later" she said before running off.
And so they each were left with an aching heart...one that would always be waiting for their shadow duelist to return to them......
Return, they would.

A blinding light and before her stood a winged girl, much like her fire fairy. She had blazing anger in her eyes and a large staff.
