Summary: Bakura had just snatched Trinity in front of everyone's eyes. He opened a gate to the Shadow Realm, where he dragged Trinity into and soon after he sealed the gate. Yami and the others stood there in shock, not daring to believe he had come and kidnapped her, and they had been so helpless to protect her. Yami, completely mortified by the day's events, vowed to go to the Shadow Realm to rescue Trinity and forever seal Bakura within its walls. Yugi and the gang speak out, and promise Yami that they would help him get Trinity back. Yami then opened a gate to the Shadow Realm. Once they entered, the pressure of being inside took its toll on Tea. Yami warned his friends that being in the Shadow Realm would take much of their strength. Meanwhile, Trinity pleaded with Bakura to let her go. Bakura revealed his plan to her, which included her death. He then placed a 'seal' on her, so that no matter what, she couldn't leave the Shadow Realm. Later, Yami and the gang rested for a while and Tea asked Yami what would happen if they were too late to rescue Trinity. Yami, on the other hand, chose not to answer Tea's question...
Difinity: Yessss! I'm completely debt free!!!
Yami: (Oo;)
Rebecca: Animal Crossing. She finished paying off her 398,000 bells to Tom Nook

Chapter 16.....
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Trinity's eyes opened slowly. She lifted her head lightly, and looked around. Her whole body felt sore, and her head throbbed in pain. She sat up, and looked around.
" Wha-what happened?" she said quietly. She placed her hand on her chest. She gasped. To her terror, her Millennium Crest was missing! She looked around frantically. Where was it? She moved her hands around, hoping to find it somewhere. She couldn't find it.
From the darkness, someone laughed.
" Looking for something?" Bakura taunted as her stepped forward from the shadows. He held something in his hand. Trinity squinted her eyes to catch a glimpse of the item. It was her Millennium Crest! He saw her surprise, and clasped the medallion in his palm. He shook his head as he grinned.
" Give that back!" Trinity commanded. Bakura laughed.
" Oh really? What can you do about it? You know that your very life is contained in this precious little medallion," Bakura warned. Trinity flinched back, knowing she was beaten. She looked away. He came closer.
" If all you wanted was the item, why am I here?" she asked, not meeting his eyes.
" I need you here, to harness you life's energy. Once that is complete, your soul will be dispersed here in the Shadow Realm, to rot and decay for all time. Your energy will be harnessed into the item, but you, will be thrown away," Bakura laughed. Trinity gaped in horror. He was going to kill her! Where was Yami? Would he ever come?
She sank to the floor, curling into a tight ball, wishing with all her heart that the King of Games would come here to save her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yami wearily walked around with his friends. Everyone was very tired, including Yami. Tea looked around, seeing how very tired everyone was, for one minute she believed they were all going to rot and die in the Shadow Realm. To the final point, Yugi fell. Yami turned around when he heard a loud thud.
" Aibou!" He ran to his fallen light. Yugi sat up, and gasped for breath. Yami wrapped his arms around his tired little light. Yugi's tired face broke into a sweat and Ryou looked on worriedly. He watched the scene when he felt a sharp jolt hit him.
' What was that?' Ryou thought. He felt another jolt. His face was drained of its color, and his eyes opened wide. He could sense Bakura, and he was clearly not being kind and gentle to Trinity.
" Y-Yami!" Ryou cried out. Yami looked away from Yugi to see a panic-stricken Ryou. Ryou began to hyperventilate. He looked nervous.
" What is it, Ryou?" Yami asked the nervous boy, while still holding onto Yugi. " Are you all right? Y-You're so pale." Ryou grew more nervous. Tears began to flood his brown eyes.
" He...," Ryou whispered. " He's hurting her. I can feel it." Yami's eyes widened, then narrowed yet held grief as he looked back at Yugi. He cradled his tired light closer, which caused Yugi to blush the slightest bit. They all remained silent.
".....I don't know what to do," Yami said, breaking the silence. " If we go on, we'll save her, but..," he looked at Yugi. He gave Ryou a hurtful look. Clear pain and anguish was written in his violet eyes. " I do not wish for Yugi to be in danger. He doesn't deserve this."
Yugi looked at Yami, who held him tighter. It was clear that Yami's heart was battling against itself. His love for Trinity is what would drive him to go on, yet his love for Yugi is what is causing him to back off, for Yugi's sake. It wasn't fair. How can he deny the right to help the two people he loved the most? Yugi was everything to him. Then again, so was Trinity. Yugi tugged gently on his dark's shirt. Yami looked at him.
" What is it, little light?" Yami asked. Yugi looked at him through his innocent eyes. Yugi smiled a bit. He lifted himself up, just enough to be able to whisper in Yami's ear.
" Don't worry," Yugi whispered in Yami's ear. " I'll be fine." Yugi lowered himself and looked into Yami's eyes.
" Aibou..? A-are you sure?" Yugi nodded. Yami's expression turned soft. He hugged his aibou tightly. " Thank you little light.." Yami whispered. He and Yugi stood. Determination flared in Yami's eyes. He clenched his fists.
" We're going to get Trinity back no matter what," Yami said fiercely. " And nothing's going to get in my way of taking her back home."
" It may be harder than you think," a voice inquired from the darkness. The gang turned around to see a hooded figure. " For dark powers run through the pure one's heart, now. Dark powers that destroy her pure soul and heart. Powers that have locked her in place, and will ensure her stay in the Shadow Realm...forever."
Difinity: Dun dun DUN!!!
