chapter. One of my best...I think. Well please enjoy no matter what!



----------------------

When Yami let go I fell once more to my knees. I felt so dizzy, the entire world

was spinning around me. I closed my eyes and tried to control myself,

I could hear Yami walking.

"It seems I forgot what it was like the first time I was here, the dizziness should pass soon."

I opened my eyes to see Yami arms crossed staring at me. I groaned and pulled myself

to my feet. I noticed now that the ring necklace was around Yami neck, always before it

had been on me. That was odd, Yami fingered the ring like a cherished treasure.

Totally unlike what he'd normally treat the golden hoop like. I found my balance and spoke.

"Yami, why have you taken us to..this place?"

"This is the Shadow Realm, as I told you a moment ago. It is a place of shadows and magic.

Did you know Ryou-chan that long ago in Egypt that the dark magic of this place corrupted many?

The Pharaoh himself was a slave to it's wonderful power."

I refused to speak to the dark spirit, I only stared into the brown pools of his eyes. He continued.

"The first to fall to the power where weakling, pathetic souls who had no power or intelligence.

The shadows wanted more powerful tools. It took years but, when the Pharaoh died and his son

took the throne, the young king melded with the darkness. It strengthened him as he strengthened

the shadows, then others began to use the darkness. It took the form of a game of sorts, they

simply called it the Shadow Games. Although many had the potential to play, only those who

possessed a certain object were allowed participate. These objects were made of gold, to show how

important they were. The great Pharaoh had one, as did the High Priest. Only those whom the

king gave them to could use them. The power they received was great, they were able to summon

powerful creatures from the shadow realm. Those whom the Pharaoh choose played the shadow games

to show there greatness and to settle disputes. The darkness doomed them as it did myself."

I blinked taking in what Yami had said. It was amazing, it was surprising, and it was

utterly unbelievable. But than again, not many people would believe I had a darker spirit

living with me. Yami watched me think about what he had said. I wonder if he heard my thoughts.

He continued to grip the ring and it struck me quite suddenly, the ring was one of those

golden objects and Yugi's pyramid probably was too.

"How did you get one then, I doubt the pharaoh would give a tomb robber such a thing?"

"I have my ways, you should know that by now little Ryou."

"That still doesn't explain why you have brought us here, Yami."

"I brought us here... to play a game." He smirked.

I stared at him as if he'd gone insane. He wanted to 'play a game'? What the hell did that mean?

"Wh-what do you mean?"

"I mean exactly what I said my little Hakari, we're going to play a little game."

Yami snapped his fingers and a pair of dice appeared in his open palm. The glitter dangerously

in the black-purple haze. Yami offer them to me. I didn't know if I should go along with it.

I didn't know yet, I took the dice and sealed my fate. Yami smiled at me and explained.

"We will take turns rolling the dice. If you get a seven you lose automatically. We keep rolling

until some one reaches twenty five or above, and they win. easy enough?" I nodded slightly and spoke,

"What does the winner get? You want to play this game for a reason obviously."

"You read me all too well Ryou. The winner gets control of the body."

I felt my mouth grow dry.

"And the loser?" I asked in a whispered. His eyes gleamed wickedly as he told me.

"There soul becomes the others to do as they please." I knew I was shaking and that Yami

could see that quite clearly as well. Yami's stare was ruthless.

"And if I refuse?"

"Oh, you can't refuse little one. You can't resisted a Shadow Game. Besides you took the dice

and in that agreed to my game." One of his fingers twirled the ring slowly as he spoke.

"And it's your move.", He added smugly. I wrapped my fingers around the dice for a moment

then let them fall to the shadow covered ground. The glitter so we could see the numbers,

a two and a three.

"You total five this turn. Not bad." Yami knelt and picked up the dice. He rolled them

and the dice showed a one and a five- six total. I knelt down across from my darker half.

"Your turn." The dice where passed to me. I got two three's bring me to eleven. Yami

rolled four bring him to ten. On my next turn I got two ones. Yami glanced at me evilly.

"Snake eyes hm? What bad luck Ryou-chan." He rolled twelve and was at twenty-two while

I was still down at thirteen, the so called unlucky number. I rolled them and was rewarded

with the number eight- twenty-one, just one below Yami. Yami though would only have to get

three or anything above, the odds were with him. There was only a one in thirty-six

chance he wouldn't get what he needed. He rolled snake eyes. His surprise was written on

every part of his face. He sat there and stared at the dice laying on the shadows

in as much shock as I was. Nether of us moved for minutes. He finally looked to me, a defeated

look on his face. Until than I had wondered if he'd been cheating but now thought otherwise.

"Your move." In shaking hand I scooped up the dice. My life, my very soul rested in

my sweaty palm. I swallowed hard and dropped them. It was like they fell in slow motion.

One of the dice fell faster than the other. It hit the ground bounced and revealed a four.

The other fell as I wondered if I had just won. The second die sparkled and hit. It showed

a three. I had seven, the one number you couldn't get in the game. I lost automatically.

My fate was sealed.

Yami looked at me once more, a strange mix of pity and triumph apon his elegant features. He'd won.

"Game, set, match.", He whispered to me with an odd uncertainty in his voice. I nodded brokenly.

The dice disappeared just as fast as they had come. My hope went with them.

Yami stood up leaving me kneeling in front of him. He was in charge now. In charge of this

sick twisted game that ruled my life. I looked up at him though vision blurring tears and asked,

"Why?"

He looked at me coldly. The tinge of pity was still there but hidden well.

"I didn't finish my story did I? The price of the shadow power was great but, so is its rewards.

Only seven golden objects were made and within each one was locked a power. There was a legend

about them. He who possess all seven will wedge power unimaginable."

"And you want to be that one." He looked away for a moment.

"Who would not? I am eternally damned to this object. If I get the other six, I could free

myself from this fate. I could be whole again and actually live. I'd also get the bonus

of great power, something that everyone in this world must crave at one time or another,

for that is the way we humans are."

"I'm not like that."

"Not that I've seen thus far. But, your fate is mine to deal now." He looked at me with an

almost hungry eyes. I flinched and looked away. He chuckled softly as he lowered himself

back to my level. His warm fingers pushed my face up to meet his gaze, much like when

we first met. I looked at him stubbornly.

"What are you going to do with me then?"

Yami looked thoughtful for a moment, then he pulled out of air seemingly, a card.

It was not any card though, it was my favorite card, The Change of Heart.

"You may become.. useful at sometime so I will not leave you in the Shadow Realm. I cannot

allow you to use the body though. You will have this form until I say otherwise."

I stared at the card in confusion as it glowed a purple light that surrounded me.

I looked down at my body and saw that of The Change of Heart. Yami smiled seemingly

satisfied with his work and stood again. I was still kneeling before my Yami. I looked

up at him and spoke the first thing that came to my lips.

"You think if you gain power you will become whole again. I've told you and yet you still

don't relize that you become whole when you and I are together. A Yami and a Hakari.

A Ying and a Yang. We complete each other."

His eyes seemed to look into my very soul.

"You may be my Hakari but, I won the game. That is all that matters in this world. One

controls and the other obeys. Without power there is no order."

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Yami frowned at my words. I knew that it had sunk in but, probably not deep enough.

With a motion of his hand the ring, the card, and myself glowed purple light.

I was engulfed by it and darkness came once more.

Was the "Absolute power" line too cheesy sounding? I'm really not sure.
