Akkadia: Ok disclaimer time! Hey Phasio if you wanna stay in the story get your butt out here now!

Phasio: *grumbling* Oh all right, yeesh! Akkadia has no ownership over any Yu-Gi-Oh related characters or Tenshi she only owns the story idea.

Akkadia: Thank You, now I won't fire you.

Karria: Why are you being so mean to Tenshi and Yugi?

Tenshi+Yugi: Yeah why?

Akkadia: Hey it's not my fault. I'm just trying to write a good story and my imagination took over!

Yami: *walks in* If you keep this up then it's a one way trip to the shadow realm.

Yugi: *runs to Yami* no, she's my friend!

Yami: Oh all right Hikari

Akkadia: Oh boy on with the fic

A/N: Ok, I know I asked for 3 reviews but I couldn't keep this chapter off anylonger! (This chapter was typed when only 2 reviews where shown) Kerra I don't mean to be cruel to your Hikari but its all part of the story. So please just read it out and you'll hopefully change your mind. But on a nicer note, thank you and everyone else for all your reviews. My next goal is 100! Warning: This chapter was also very difficult for me to write. Kerra, Tenshi will suffer a little along with Yugi but don't take it the wrong way. It's all part of the story. Anyway here's chapter 12! P.S. I'm mentioning myself in the story but this does not and I repeat DOES NOT!!! Make this a Mary sue!

Notes: /Yugi to Yami/ //Yami to Yugi// (mind link talk)

(*TV announce guy: Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh*)

Narato had seen everything. He headed straight towards Tenshi's chambers. He stopped dead in his tracks. Everything was out of place. It looked like a tornado had it! "Oh, my goodness!" he raced out to the balcony again, "Yami, my son! Tenshi is gone!"

Yami stood up, "What?!"

Suddenly Yugi let out a cry. Yami turned around and gasped in horror, "Yami help me!" There was a rope around Yugi's arm and the little one suddenly fell off the balcony. Yami looked down and saw a black robed stranger, "Yami!"

Yami noticed another figure. It was Tenshi, "Who are you? What do you want with them?"

The black robed stranger removed his hood, "Oh you know exactly what I want, Yami!"

"PHASIO!!" Yami roared.

"Buh bye your highness!" Phasio took off on his black horse and rode into the night.

Yami jumped up onto the stone railing ready to jump off.

Narato saw this and pulled his son off, "No, Yami You can't save them by killing yourself!"

Yami struggled against his father but finally gave in and stepped down, "How could I have let this happen. It's my duty to protect my hikari, and I have failed." He dropped to his knees. The tears flowed freely down his cheeks.

Narato watched his son in shock. He'd never seen Yami act like this before.

"I have to get them back."

"But how? Phasio will surely kill you my son!" Narato said.

Yami turned to look at his father, "I don't care, father. Tenshi is my most trusted friend and Yugi is my life. They both mean more to me than life itself."

"But Yami."

"I'll save them even if it means death is the only way."

Yugi opened his eyes and groaned. He tried to sit up but immediately stopped as a wave of pain swept over his small body, "Oh, man." He murmured. Yugi glanced around the room and soon he noticed another limp figure in the room. Her long black hair was tangled and scattered around her body. A moan escaped from her lips. Yugi recognized the voice right away, "Tenshi!"

Tenshi heard her name and lifted her head. What she saw made her lose the remaining color in her cheeks. Yugi was lying in front of her. He was covered in blood. She attempted to sit up but like Yugi she was hit with a force that literally knocked her down, "Yugi are you all right?"

Yugi nodded, "Don't worry I'll live; I hope. Tenshi, I'm going to try to crawl over to you, ok." Yugi said in a dangerously weak voice. He carefully crawled towards her wincing and gasping in pain, leaving a trail of blood behind him in doing so. When he'd finally reached her side he collapsed, "Tenshi I'm so sorry for dragging you into this."

Tenshi didn't understand, "What are you talking about Yugi?"

"In my nightmares I've been having. I forgot to mention a small detail to Yami and Narato. In one of my nightmares you were in it as well. I never thought it would actually lead to this."

Tenshi nodded now getting it, "Hey its ok. We're gonna get outta here." She said weakly smiling. Her eyes gazed down and a small gasp escaped from her ruby lips.

Yugi heard it, "What?"

"Is that the millennium puzzle?"

"Yes it is. This is what brought Yami to me. Back umm.." Yugi panicked, *I can't say anything about the future! Think Yugi Think!* he finally came up with a small white lie, "Back in my village, Yami and I could umm read each others mind and talk to one another that way."

Tenshi nodded, "Yeah, I know about that. A close friend of Yami's, possess the 8th millennium item. The millennium anklet I believe. But Akkadia and her Yami are almost complete opposites. They could never get along."

Now it was Yugi's turn to be confused, "I thought there were only seven millennium items."

Tenshi shook her head, "Only seven are known. There are actually nine. And the 9th is the millennium bracelet I think." The two of them stopped their conversation for a moment to think. Tenshi's eyes suddenly twinkled which would always happen when her mind was forming an idea or a plan, "Yugi you said you could talk to Yami through the power of the millennium puzzle right?"

"Yeah so?"

Tenshi smiled, "Do you suppose you could do it here?"

Yugi returned the smile, now understanding Tenshi's idea, "I don't know I'll try."

/Yami?/

//silence//

/Yami can you hear me?/

Yugi suddenly felt that familiar gentle push. That was Yami's sign to let Yugi know he doesn't feel like talking. In other words that's how Yugi knew when his dark's side was blocked. Yami had blocked up his side of the mind link, "He's got his side blocked."

Tenshi wasn't one to give up so easily, "Well we can try again later. It's our only hope. Who knows what Phasio has in store for us?"

Yugi looked at Tenshi, "Tell me do you know exactly why Phasio is doing this?"

Tenshi nodded slowly, "Aye, he wants the power of the Pharaoh."

Yugi shuddered; the power of the Pharaoh. Those words always brought a chill down his spine, "Well no matter what Phasio does just know that I'll never forgot your kindness or friendship."

Tenshi smiled, "Same here Yugi."

*Meanwhile back at the palace*

Narato watched his son pace back and forth in his chambers, "Yami understand how you feel but you must think things through. First off you don't even know where Phasio has taken Yugi and Tenshi. And there's no way to find out either!"

Yami stopped pacing and sighed deeply. Deep down he knew his father was right. His hand reached for the millennium puzzle.

*Flashback of conversation after victory over Pegasus* (A/N: Ok I haven't seen the episode so I'm just winging it here k!)

Yugi looked up at Yami smiling, "We did it!"

Yami returned the smile, "Yes and we did it together."

Yugi blushed, "I don't mean to be rude but who exactly are you?"

Yami chuckled, "I am known under many names but one of them you already know. I am sometimes called Yu-Gi-Oh or the name given to me by my mother, Yami."

"Yami huh, I like that name. Now do you have any idea how you got into the millennium puzzle?" Yugi asked understand it all a little now.

Yami shook his head, "No I'm afraid not."

Yugi smiled, "Oh, that's ok. I'm just glad you're here."

"Me too Aibou, me too."

*End Flashback*

That was the first time he'd ever called Yugi Aibou. Yami suddenly stood up, "There is a way to find Yugi and Tenshi. But I'm not sure if it will work." Please Ra! He thought to himself. Yami opened his side of the mind link. A sigh of relief escaped his lips when he saw Yugi's side was open as well, "Well here goes nothing." The millennium puzzle glowed brightly as Yami closed his eyes.

//Yugi?//

/Yami is that you?/

//Yes Yugi can you tell me where you are?//

Yugi weakly smiled, "Tenshi, its Yami!" He said.

//Yugi are you still there?//

/Yami I don't know where we are./

//Well just describe the area around you then.//

Yugi mentally nodded and looked around the room. A loud gasp escaped from his lips. It was the room from his dream.

/Uh, Yami you remember the room I told you about in my dream?/

//Yes//

/That's where we are/

"No!" Yami turned to his father, "It can't be true!"

Narato's face was filled with horror, "I'm afraid it is, Yami. Phasio has taken Yugi and Tenshi to the dreaded shadow realm!"

//Yugi, stay exactly where you are. Have Tenshi do the same.//

/Yami what is going on? Where are we?/

//Yugi this isn't easy for me to say but you and Tenshi have been sent to the Shadow Realm.//

/THE SHADOW REALM!!!!/

Yami winced and rubbed his ear, //Yugi just stay calm I'm on my way!//

/All right, Tenshi and I will stay strong as long as we can./

//Good, and Yugi keep the link open.//

/All right!/

Yugi weakly smiled, "Tenshi I've got some good news and some bad news. Which type do you want first?" he asked.

Tenshi returned the smile, "The good news."

"I've managed to get through to Yami and he's coming to get us out of here!"

"All right, but where exactly is *here*?"

Yugi sighed, "That's the bad news. Phasio's sent us to the shadow realm."

Tenshi gasped, "WHAT?!?"

Yugi rubbed his ear but grabbed her hand, "Its ok Yami said to stay strong and stay together."

Tenshi relaxed and squeezed Yugi's hand, "All right."

*Meanwhile back at the palace*

"Yami are you sure you want to go through with this? You haven't been to the Shadow Realm for a long time. Your soul may not be as cooperative." Narato asked while trying to keep up with his son's fast strides.

"I don't care, Father. I already told you that if death is the only way then I'm not backing down." Yami said. His voice was filled with confidence but a slight touch of fear. Fear of what that bastard did to his best friend and his light.

Narato sighed as he placed a hand on his son's shoulder, "Yami please stop for a moment. I want to tell you something."

Yami gave in and turned to face his father, "What is it, father?"

Narato bit his lip, "Yami I understand everything you are going through. I just want to let you know that even though I can't go with you. That doesn't mean I won't be with you through love."

Yami smiled, "Thanks father." He turned around again and faced a wall. The millennium puzzle glowed brightly as a portal appeared on the wall.

"Good luck my son!"

Yami turned to his father and nodded, "Here it goes." He stepped into the portal and felt a familiar change sweep over his body. He was in the Shadow Realm.

//Yugi?//

Yugi shot up and let out a cry of pain, "Ow!" he rubbed his ear again.

//Yugi?//

/Yami don't yell!/

//I'm not yelling.//

/Well it feels like it to me./

//It must be because I'm in the shadow realm as well. I'll try to tone my voice down as much as I can.// Yami brought his voice to just above a whisper, //Is this better?//

/Yes, thanks./

//All right I'm on my way Hikari. Stay strong.// Yami walked deeper and deeper into the familiar shadows. Glowing eyes appeared on every side. They were used to scare wandering souls but Yami merely ignored them. He'd spent half his ancient life in the Shadow Realm due to the Shadow games and knew every single trap, scare, and surprise. None of those worried him in the least. Yami turned a corner then stepped back as fire shot from the walls. Yami patiently waited for the flames to die down before continuing. There were many surprises like that in the Shadow Realm. No only fire but ice cold and boiling hot water which shot out in jet streams. Yami passed a few of those too. One thing he would have to be slightly cautious on was the duel monsters. The only way to get pass them would be to name another monster with a stronger attack power. So far Yami hadn't passed one of those and was glad he hadn't. Yami had a very good feeling where Yugi and Tenshi were. The Magical Doors of Chance, Luck, Skill, and Heart. The only thing that was really weighing down on his mind was the actual location of the four magical doors. Yami took a minute to think then remembered. He finally reached the familiar wall. In front of him lay four doors. All four had the symbol of the millennium items. (The eye). Now the only problem he had was choosing the right door. If Yami selected the wrong door he would be in major trouble, "It's a risk I must take." He said to himself as he put his hand on one of the door knobs, "Here it goes, Ra please guide me."

Akkadia: Whew that took a while!

Karria: *looks up* Whoa! Did you do that?

Akkadia: Yep.

Yami: How dare you stop now! I challenge you to a duel!

Karria: You wanna duel? Duel me!

Yami: fine I play dark magician along with magical hats!

Karria: *falls to her knees in a fit of giggles*

Yami: What on earth so funny?

Akkadia: *smirked* think about is Yami. Yugi's hidden behind one of four doors. Your dark magician is hidden underneath one of four hats.

Yugi: Oh I get it!

Karria: *gasping for breath* 3 *wheeze* reviews *wheeze wheeze* = chapter *wheeze* 13! *wheeze*
