Chapter 2: How do you know her?
"Sister? You've got a sister?" Joey nearly yelled.
Before Yami could respond Bakura gave yell and launched himself at the young women. At the sound of his voice the two guards stood and, in opposition of what was expected, uncrossed their staves and let him pass. Instead of attacking the girl, Bakura caught her in a tackle/hug.
"Siren, you idiot!" he said in a reprimanding tone, "Why did you stop visiting me? It got lonely those last five hundred years without you guys."
"What's going on?" Yugi whispered to Yami.
"Don't know." the dark answered, "Ask Ryou. It's his Yami."
Before they even turned to him Ryou responded, "I haven't a clue as to what is happening. But judging from the looks on the Dark Magicians faces, I don't think we have to worry."
He was right. The purple Magician had a small smile on his face that was mirrored by the red one.
"Dark Magician," Yami demanded as he walked towards them, "is that my sister?"
"Yes sir." The monster replied.
"So," the two spun to see Bakura standing behind them, "Keman, how have you been?"
"I have been well Bakura." Keman said, smiling and reaching out to clasp the sprit of the Ring's hand. Said spirit then turned to the red monster, "Zekk, and you?"
"Fine old friend." Zekk also reached for Bakura's hand, "Just fine."
"Keman? Zekk? Friend?" Yugi wondered, "How do you know them?" the small light directed the question at Bakura, but it was Siren who answered.
"We all grew up together." She stated walking up to stand between Keman and Zekk.
Bakura grinned, "All we need now is-"
"-Faith." Keman finished with a smile, "You called her right?" he asked turning to Siren.
"I sent Zashal for her right after you left. They should be back soon."
All the humans and Yami jumped as they heard a roar. They looked up to see the Red Eyes Black Dragon swoop down and off his back jumped the Magician of Faith. She landed lightly then ran to Bakura. She gave him a quick hug then slapped him.
"Why haven't you come to see us?" she demanded angrily.
"Me come to see you?" Bakura almost yelled back, "I'm the one stuck in the bloody Ring and you expect me to come see you?"
"You've been out for a while haven't you." she retorted.
"Hellooo!" he said lowering his voice slightly, "With my reputation, what do you think the Pharaoh over there would think if he found out I was vanishing of into the Shadow Realm. You on the other hand could come into my soul room at any point in time and what do you do? You all stop visiting and I end up spending almost five hundred years in OBLIVIAN! How do you think I felt, huh?!"
Siren placed a gentle hand on his arm, "He found us Kura." she whispered, though all could hear her and detect the fear in her voice, "We had to run and didn't want to lead him to you."
"Oh Ra!" Bakura swore, "How?"
"WAIT!" Yami shouted, using the authority of the Pharaoh, "What are you talking about? Better yet, how do you all know each other? I only got...Zekk, as you call him, a little while ago. And Siren disappeared as a child."
Siren opened her mouth but Keman cut her off, "Before we were Duel Monsters we were humans. We still had the power that we have now and that's why we were hunted by many who played the Shadow Games. Faith here," he pointed to the female Duel Monster, "was like us. We had been captured and were being held till the Priest got there to change us when Bakura broke in. He found us, set us free and brought us to live with him and his best friend, your sister."

"Keman!" Zekk yelled from the floor where he was supporting Faith, "Stop pacing. You're making us all more nervous."
"I can't help it brother! They're going to turn us into monsters." he yelled, rounding on his younger sibling and close friend, "We cant even fight back without our powers and these damn bracelets have so much warding on them that I cant even feel your mind and you two are right here!"
"Calm down Keman," Faith said, speaking for the first time since their capture, "we will get out of here."
"How do you now?" Zekk asked.
"Because I will take you out." a new voice broke in.
Kaman whirled to face the person standing at the bars of their cell; he appeared to be a few inches shorter then Keman himself with spiky white hair and piercing brown eyes with a crimson hue. He was grinning at them and they could see that his eyeteeth were slightly longer and pointed. He was dressed in dark colored clothing and looked to be a thief.
"Who are you?" Keman demanded, fulfilling his role as older brother and protector, "What are you doing here?"
"My name is Bakura," the strange boy answered, "and I'm here to get you out." With that he knelt and in a few moments had the lock picked and open.
"Come here." he ordered, "Hold out your arm." When Keman didn't comply Bakura reached our and grabbed his hand. In seconds he had opened the bracelet and moved on to the two sitting on the floor.
{Bakura!}
"What was that?" Zekk shouted in surprise.
"My friend." Bakura answered.
{Yes Siren.} he thought.
{Why are there other people in the room with you?} the voice sounded panicked {Where are you?}
{I'm in the dungeons-}
{WHAT!} the voice was female, and very scared {Did you get caught?}
{No, I found some prisoners and am bringing them out.}
{Oh} she seemed calmer now {hurry though}
Bakura had a small smile, "Lets go. I can hear someone coming and if they find us we'll be in big trouble."
He walked silently to the door and looked around, then motioned for them to follow him. Keman cautiously came forward and Zekk picked up Faith and followed right behind them.
"Where are we going?" Faith asked quietly.
"To my home. We'll lay low for a while then you should be safe as long as you keep the power use to a minimum." he answered absently, then stepped out into the hall.
"Come on."
They followed Bakura down the hall to an empty room. Once there he closed the door and opened a small window.
"You think you can get through that?" he asked the two boys, nodding to the window.
The escapees looked to one another, "Yes." Keman answered for all of them.
"Good." Bakura said, "I'll go first, then those two,' he pointed to Faith and Zekk, "Then you'll come. Got it?"
They nodded and he looked carefully out the window. Quiet as a snake, he slipped out; Faith looked over and saw him motion them to follow. When they were all out Bakura started off, warily keeping to the shadows.
{Follow closely} they heard, causing Zekk to jump and cry out in surprise, before the sound could leave his lips, Bakura appeared with his hand over his Zekk's mouth, {Be silent} he ordered, brown eyes flashing crimson. At the boys nod he let go and continued on.
Half an hour later they were running down the alleys. Bakura led them into an old house. Inside they saw nothing but a stairway. They followed him down and reached a huge cavern under the city.
"WOW!" Faith breathed.
"Welcome." a voice said. They all turned to see a golden eyed, silver haired woman walk up, "I hope you like it. This will be you new home."

"You met in a prison?" Tristen asked them, "And you turned people into monsters?!" he yelled, turning to Yami.
"I didn't know about that." Yami claimed, "I thought they had always existed there."
"Some did brother," Siren said, "but some didn't."
Suddenly Tea's head came up, "Who is 'he'?" she asked.
Faith looked at her in confusion, "What do you mean?"
"Well, when Bakura was yelling at you Siren said something about someone finding you. I was wondering who she meant."
"That is a story for a latter time." Siren said in a voice that clearly showed no room for argument.
"Now, " she said at Tea's nod, "Yami. You and Kura are going to show us what it is like in the real world."
Before Yami could say anything Bakura stepped forward, "Sure, but find something else to wear. The whole armor look is great but it won't work outside the Shadow Realm."
