Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Shadow Games Saga

Bakura Game 1: Brothers

Shadi stood there, as the others wondered how he got there. Shadi spoke up. "I have come here to investigate a disturbance involving the Millennium Items."

"Um, well…", Yugi finally said, "The Millennium Puzzle has been stolen…"

"What? A Millennium Item has been stolen?!"

"Yeah… By a guy named Bakura… He was wearing a circle thingy with a pyramid in it…"

"The Millennium Ring! I must go retrieve it!"

"Wait!" Anzu yelled. "Our friends are there, too!"

Mokuba spoke up. "And my big brother!"

Honda stepped up to Shadi. "And my girlfri--er, friend…"

Shadi just stared. "… I'm afraid I can't do that… If I find your friends, I will bring them back here and--"

Yugi glared and walked up to Shadi. "Hey, you! Those are our friends! We need to be there for them!"

"…"

"Gulp…"

"… Fine, then… But do not stand in my way…"

"Thank you sir…" Yugi bowed.

"But do not get in my way…" Shadi then transported them to Egypt.

~~~~~~~~~

"Woooooow…" exclaimed the group, sans Shadi.

"Now follow me…" Shadi drones.

Suddenly, the sand began to sink, sending them all falling.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!", screamed the group, sans Shadi.

"…" Shadi was unfazed.

They then landed in a hallway with tons of doors.

Shadi looked around. "This is strange…"

Dark Bakura's voice was heard echoing through the hallway. "I guess you are wondering why you are in this hallway! But before I answer that…" A trap hole appears, sending Shadi down. He reappears as a card.

"Mr. Shadi!!" Yugi screams.

"What did you do to him, you twisted freak?!" Honda screamed.

"Relax… He's still alive… That card represents his soul!" Bakura's voice screeched. "Now, the rules of my game are simple… Your friends are in some of these rooms. You must find the right room, and face your greatest fear or flaw. Then, with all of your comrades recovered, come meet me in the final room for one last game…"

"Grrr…" Yugi glared.

"I'll go first, to find Seto…" Mokuba said. "When I find him, I'll come back here…"

"Okay, if you say so Mokuba…" Anzu said.

"Great. Seeya…" With that, Mokuba opened the nearest door. Behind it was an angry Summoned Skull. "Uh, wrong room…" Mokuba slammed the door shut. The next door has a Time Wizard. It's clock spins and lands on a skull, blowing up in Mokuba's face. "Ouch…" Next, the ORIGINAL, UNCUT Red Archery Girl… "Wow…" He closes the door. And then, he walks into a room with no floor. He falls and lands outside the room. "…"

A few doors later, he found a room with 2 Blue Eyes in it. He knew he had found it. "Seto? You in here?" He found his older brother laying there, lifeless. "Seto!" He ran to the older Kaiba. "Seto… Don't leave me… You're the only family I have left… Don't let them take me away!…………… Seto… I know you might find me annoying, so if you'd just come back, I'd stop being annoying… I'll beat Yugi for you! I'll make people see that you are really a nice person!!"

"Stop beating yourself up… That's not the Mokuba I know…"

"Seto!" Mokuba hugged his brother.

"… Okay, that's enough… Now do you know how we get out of here?"

"Uhhhh… No…"

"… Crap…"

"Um, let's see…"

The two Blue Eyes walk away, revealing a doorway.

Kaiba smirks. "Now that's what I call service."

The two brothers walk through the doorway to freedom… Sort of…

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Where could Mokuba be?" Anzu asked.

"Hey! Guys!" Mokuba walked around a corner, with Seto close behind.

"Hmph. So you are here, Yugi…" Seto hissed.

Yugi flinched. "Hi, Kaiba…"

"Well, we'll never get out of here just standing here! Let's go!" Honda said as he ran down the hallway, tripping.

"… Buffoon… What is his problem?" Kaiba asked.

"Sigh… He's in love…" Anzu answered.

"Hmph… Love is for the weak… He'd better start thinking with his mind, and not with his dick." Kaiba then walked down the hallway. "Well shall we go? Or do I have to do all the work?" He continued down the hallway.

Anzu made a disgusted face. "Who died and made you king?!"

Kaiba turned toward her and gave her a cold glare. Anzu just sighed. "Your macho act doesn't scare me…"

Kaiba just snorted and went on his way. "Come, Mokuba… Let's leave these fools to their own squabbling…"

"Coming, Seto!" Mokuba said as he followed.

Meanwhile, back in Domino City…

A newscaster sits at his desk and speaks. "And now, for local news… The police are investigating the disappearances of Ryou Bakura, Katsuya Jonouchi, Miho Nosaka, Anzu Mazaki, Hiroto Honda, and Yugi Motou. They disappeared without a trace, as if they weren't there, witnesses say. The police will continue to investigate this odd occurrence."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dark Bakura sneered. "Look at them! They can't even get along! Heh… But ugh! I wouldn't have let Mokuba get off so easily with getting his brother back, but I couldn't stand that whining!" He spun in a swivel chair. "But it is sooo fun watching them squirm… Soon, Yugi will get here, and then I will beat him and the Pharaoh, and get the Millennium Puzzle permanently! Then, Yugi will feel real pain when I kill all of his friends right in front of him!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~

Dark Yugi waited in the puzzle, waiting for Yugi to free him once again. Good luck, partner. I have faith. We will beat Bakura together…Fly at higher game, Yugi…

To Be Continued…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And that will be it for now… I feel disappointed with this chapter though… I kinda tried to rush two chapters in one day… Oh well… The next one will be better… I hope I can stretch this thing to 13 chapters… Anywaaay MOO! Okay, I'm wasting time… =P Seeya later!
