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


I sat in a high back chair at an elegantly set table in the castle of Pegasus J. Crawford.

Around the table sat Yugi, Joey, Tea, Tristin, Mai, Bandit Keith, and myself. A servant of

Pegasus's was standing nearby, his face unreadable with his sunglasses on. Joey and Tristin

were wolfing down the huge feast that sat before us while Tea and Mai took small delicate

bites. Bandit Keith was staring over his own sunglasses at the man called Croquet while

Yugi ate slowly stopping ever so often looking slightly fazed out before returning to his

meal. I was probably as hungry as Joey and Tristin seemed to be but, I took slow bites of

roast beef and potatoes, carefully avoiding the soup which had a golden eye prodding from it.

The fact that an eyeball was floating in the soup didn't bother Joey though, he finished his

soup first.


As I ate I took in the thoughts of what had happened over the past few hours.

We had arrived at the castle to see Seto Kaiba dueling Pegasus; I'd never seen such an odd

duel; cartoons would never be the same again I can assure you. The fact was I was not at all

surprised when Pegasus won, the gold eye under his silvery-white hair glowing as Yugi told me

it was Pegasus's millennium eye that allowed him to defeat Kaiba. I was shock though to find

out that Kaiba had a little brother, a boy with jet black hair that Pegasus had prisoner.

Both his and the blue-eyed teen soul's were now in Pegasus's hand, literally. I shuddered

when I thought about the cards that the cartoon loving psycho placed so carelessly in his

pocket. I suppose I know what's in the older Kaiba's card-locket now. I had to abandon such

thoughts, they made me feel sick, especially when a replica of Pegasus's eye watching me

eat.


Dinner was finished as the sky began to grow dark, Tristin and Joey look full and happy as

we were lead to a hallway lined with large wooden doors. There was a room for each of us and

we each were allowed to choose which ever room we wanted. Joey and Yugi choose rooms in the

middle directly across from each other. Tea took Yugi's right side while Tristin was right

across from her, next to Joey. Bandit Keith, the psycho who trapped us in the cave disappeared

into a room on the other side of Joey oddly. Mai found a door towards the end of the hallway,

closest to Tea's. I still hadn't chosen a door as everyone disappeared into different doors.

I walked along the hallway eyeing each door as I walked by finally choosing a door on the
left
of Yugi's but, one extra room down. The wooden door creaked as I opened it revealing a dimly

lit room. I flicked the light switch near the door, allowing the shadows to be dismissed by

several well placed lamps. The room was a comfortable size; a queen sized bed with wooden side

tables, a small low table with a sofa and two chairs, a few paintings decorated the wall.

A door was on the far right from the entrance and lead to a bathroom which I had no time to

see because at that moment Tristin came bursting through the door. I turned to the brown haired

boy in surprise, didn't anyone knock around here. The trench coat wearing teen looked at me

grimly, no words of apology or anything.

"Bakura, I think Pegasus is cheating."

I blinked at him; he thought Pegasus was cheating? Had he not heard Yugi say that Pegasus use

that golden eye of his to read peoples minds earlier? Were Yugi's followers really this stupid?

"I think maybe he might have camera's hidden on the dueling platform or something."

That confirmed his stupidity right there. Was it just me or did everyone who didn't carry around

a magical gold object act really ignorant? I pushed aside my thoughts for later as Tristin

practically dragged me out the door to Tea's room, were he knocked politely. Was he

going out of his way to be rude to me?

"Come in."

Thus he once more dragged me into Tea's room this time. We both sat on Tea's sofa while Tristin

explained his cheating thoughts to the brown haired girl. Personally I wondered if I should be

laughing or crying at the lost situation. I choose to keep quiet as normal, if they didn't get

it yet I wouldn't destroy there sense of sanity. That was how we ended climbing up the side of

a tower in the middle of the night looking for the nonexistent way that Pegasus cheated. It

was not the way I would have liked to spend that evening but something told me to go along with

it. So I did. Frankly, I decided I didn't like Tristin much, he was so bossy and conceded. Tea

seemed nice though, a little dense, but nothing real bad. Tea opened the window to the tower

room and slide in myself and Tristin close behind. The room was lavishly dressed, paintings and

statues decorated it. A huge painting hung in front of us taking up entire wall of the tower.

The picture showed a young blonde woman in her early twenties wearing a long dress. We

gaped at it for minutes as Tea and Tristin spoke quietly about who the woman could be, Pegasus's

wife? Tristin mumbled about how no one in the right mind would marry the maniac known as

Pegasus J. Crawford.

"Well, well what do we have here?"

We all turned to see, to are horror, that said silver haired man was standing nearby.

"Pegasus! We know you've been cheating!"

I shot a glance at the accusing Tristin who now stood in a fighting stance. Pegasus sneered.

"You break into my private sanctuary through the window and accuse me of wrong doing?"

None of us could answer, I stared at the man with the others. Then like a bolt of lightning

I 'knew' what was going to happen. A golden glow cover Pegasus's face and the floor

seemed to melt away; shadows grew around us.

"I'm afraid I can't let any of you leave now."

The shadows consumed us.


I awoke first. We were laying on the stone floor of an unfamiliar corridor. Tea and Tristin

were out cold next to me and our 'gracious host' was nowhere in site. I groaned and sat up rubbing

an aching temple. Tristin suddenly sat up so fast that the back of his head collided with the

wall. He blinked in seeming shock and Tea's eyes opened.

"What happened?"

"I donno. Where are we?"

Nether of them seemed to understand what had happen. I did not understand really ether but, I

did know that shadow powers were involved. I clutched the ring instinctively rubbing my thumb over

the familiar circle. Tristin eyed me funny.

"What's with you and that thing? You treat it like a treasure or something, it's creepy!"

I curled fingers around it, the metal warming with my body heat.

"It's important to me."

"Why? It's just a necklace!"

"The same way Yugi's puzzle is important to him, my ring is to me."

I tucked my ring safely under my shirt, the now warm metal brushing against bear skin.

He shrugged and turned back to Tea, helping her off the ground as I stood using the wall as

a grip. The hallway seemed to curve downward and sideways so you could see anything a few

feet away from where you were. Tristin began to walk down the hall with Tea close behind.

Well, I didn't think it was a good idea to just wonder but, I didn't seemed to have much

choice, I followed behind the two. As we walked a soft mumbling could be heard down the hallway

growing louder and more understandable with each passing step. It sounded like chanting

to me. Suddenly, Tristin stopped; there was a doorway in front of us. We all creep silently

to look through it. In the room on ether side were rows of hooded men chanting, golden markings

covered the walls and two of the men stood near the middle facing each other silently.

Both of the two lifted a hand and stone tablets rose from the ground, another flick of their

wrist and the stones turned to the center. There were duel monsters carved into the stones.

The man on the left feel to his knees before his scream pierced the night and he seemly

disappeared leaving the tablet and his hooded cloak behind. Tea gasped and all eyes in the room

turned to where we stood by the entrance. As if they had wings the lined up me came to stand in

front of us; unseen eyes staring at we three. The man who had been in the center pulled off hood

to revile silvery hair and a gold eye.

"What you just witnessed was a shadow game."

A shadow game? I remembered my own experience with the dangerous games, a cut to

my heart as my Yami once more filled my mind.

"And now I will use your souls to power up my Millennium Eye; I'll get a lot of power

from you three, especially you Bakura."

I stared at the man in horror.

"For when I capture your soul, I'll also gain control over your Millennium Ring!"

I would never let this man touch the ring, it was one thing to threaten

me; another to steal away my ring. I closed my eyes knowing though that there was

nothing I could do; I wished my Yami was with me.


Suddenly, like light invading shadowy corners of a room I felt something click inside me. It was

a pulsing beat of power threaded with black and silver. I felt a thread wrap around me as a

soothing presence filled my mind and I felt myself being pushed away. I Tried to move my body

to do something but found I couldn't, someone else was though. Someone with shadowy eyes and

a cold smirk who made the ring glow and appear from it's place under my shirt.

"Bakura? I sense a dark soul within you."

The 'dark soul' sneered at the man as the ring glowed a bright purple.

"You won't sense anything come morning!"

The room was blinded by the light and when I could once again see the robed people and Pegasus

were gone while Tea and Tristin seemed to be in a trance of sort. I tried to move again

and fell to the ground. Well, I was now in control again. The 'dark soul' stooped next to me,

white hair falling in his face covering for a moment chocolate eyes much like my own.

"Yami.. Is.. is it really you?" A raised eyebrow and a look of indifference faced me.

"Oh course you baka! Did you expect the Ra damned Pharaoh?"

Tears welled up in my eyes and for a moment I was speechless. Yami sighed.

"Ok, your not a baka but st-"

I threw myself at him despite my better judgment and I clutched at him teary eyed as Yami

looked at me in shock as I began to ramble in a state of bliss.

"I thought you were gone forever and that I'd never see you again..."

Yami looked startle by this.

"..I thought.. I thought-"

Yami now almost sternly glared at me cupping my chin in his hand so we were eye to eye.

He stole a chaste kiss, his eyes half-lidded. He stopped and slowly pulled away pink staining his

milky complexion as I gaped at him. He mumbled as he pulled himself to his feet.

"Yami.."

"It was the only way I could get you to shut up!"

I stood up too, my own pink blush had yet to fade as I noticed Tea and Tristin still standing

in a trance next to me. Yami looked at them and smirked slightly before snapping his fingers.

The two controlled teenagers disappeared and my darker half turned to me.

"They'll go back to there rooms and won't remember anything about tonight in the morning."

I nodded slowly refusing to take my eyes off of Yami.

"We should probably go too, incase Pegsy decides to come back."

With that my shadow melded into me and I blinked, we were back in the hallway for the bedrooms.

I found my door and went in, closed and locked it. My Yami reappeared sitting on the couch

nearby, stretched out in a lazy fashion looking at me.

"Now my little Hakari, I need to know a few things."

I joined my look-alike on a chair near where he sat, the effects of feeling complete still

washing over me. I hadn't felt this good ever.

"What do you need to know, Yami?"

Yami asked a few questions, simple things mostly where we were, how we got here that sort of

thing. He suddenly got up from his seat and stood in front of me. He leaned down and

pinned my arms to the chair leaning ever so slightly closer to me.

"What about the Pharaoh's brat, my Hakari?"

"W-what about Yugi?"

"Where is he?"

"..."

"I see.. I thought after all of that you might have abandon your folly but, now I see that

the Pharaoh has you under his thumb. Does he make you happy Ryou, do you mind sharing

him with the brat? Hmm?"

My eyes grew wide, he thought I was involved with Yami Yugi?

"Yami, I'd never-"

"Shut Up, Baka!"

"But I-"

"I said shut up!"

He let go of my wrists and stalked around the room for a moment before disappearing into

the ring leaving me alone and downcast.
