A/N- I'm sooo sorry for taking so long to update, but I was grounded. My dad unhooked my laptop and hid it from me. He said I couldn't have it back till I got back from my Youth Rafting Retreat. I got back and here I am. I also want to tell everyone that I will be taking that Florida trip this Sunday, which is the 27th of July. I have updated all of my stories for those of you that read my others. I don't know when I'll be back, so there is no telling as to when I'll write again. It probably won't be that long of a trip though. I'll miss you guys. This is the last chapter, but don't miss out on the action. Be sure, if you haven't already, to check out The Black Crystal Sacrifice. It's a really good story if I do say so myself and I'm still really excited about it. Well, that's all I can think of right now. . .,so. . .replies.

Hazel: Aww! You don't want to guess? Not even just for fun? That's ok, don't worry about it & of course you are right and I will tell you. ^_^

Puzzle-chan: Nope, nope, nope, yep, nope, someone else all together. ^_^ Nice try!

digigirl-izumi: ^_^ No clue at all? Good! ^_^ Thanks; here's what happens.

Kayrie: Thank you for the review and putting me on your fav. list of authors. I'm really glad you like it! ^_^

Chromefox: Thanx. Cute name for Yugi by the way. No, definitely not.

Subieko: Where have you been? I missed you! ^_^ I'm pitiful, but I love all my reviewers cause you guys are so cool! Anyways, thanks. Don't worry TOO much about him after all I have to give him back when I'm done so we can watch him on TV. Suspense is cool! It makes you want to read the next chapter OR scream at the author OR both. The Millennium Bracelet's powers are telekinesis. (You know- you can control things with your mind. Sorta)

Thanks everybody and I would like to give a special thank you to these who have put m *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chapter 11- The Shadow Realm

"My name is Selina."

(Selina: *gasp* Me?! Serafina: Yup. You said in the first chapter that you wanted to be in the fic, so there you are. ^_^ Selina: Yeah, but you're making me try to kill Yugi! I love him just as much as you do! Audience: So not very much. Serafina: What?! I love him a lot! *whispers*(I even have a crush) *and blushes* Selina: Yeah, that's why you try to kill him! Serafina: Exactly to make people worry about him. Now be quiet so we can continue with the story!)

"You better not hurt Yugi!"

"Oh, yeah? And what are you going to do about it if I do this?" She took the Millennium Puzzle off and Yami appeared only as a transparent form of himself beside his aibou. Yugi's eyes held a fear in them and Selina smirked when she saw it. "That's right! Now you can't do anything to protect your little light. On to business, breaking your spirit to where you will obey me will be so easy. All I have to do is make you watch and hear the screams of your hikari aibou. Let him go you two," she commanded Michael and Mason.

They released Yugi and stepped out of the way. Yami glared at Selina and not being able to do anything else, yelled, "RUN! Run Yugi! Hurry!"

The only problem with Yugi trying to run away was the fact that Selina had him in the grip of her Millennium Bracelet. His arms were pinned to his sides and he couldn't squirm of struggle out of the telekinetic grasp. "I can't!" Yugi gasp against the pressure being applied to his chest. Then, suddenly, he was lifted into the air and thrown into the far wall. He hit and fell to the floor dazed and almost blacked out. Then she gripped him once more and tried to beat him against the floor, but the eye of Ra appeared on Yami's forehead and he used his shadow magic to stop her and set Yugi carefully on the ground.

She glared at him and he matched her look eye for eye. Then she smiled and said, "Alright, if that's the way you want it. I'll just send him to the Shadow Realm now."

"NO!" Yami yelled which only made her smile broaden.

"Yes, I think I will." Selina was surrounded by a gold light and then the light left her and consumed Yugi. It started at his feet and whatever it touched disappeared.

"YAMI!" Yugi called fearfully.

"YUGI! NO! YUGI!" Yami yelled trying and failing to use his magic to keep his light from entering the Shadow Realm where he would most certainly be lost forever. His efforts were futile, however, and soon his little hikari was gone. "No, Yugi," Yami whispered defeated. //Yugi? Yugi, can you hear me?//

He received no answer. Then he did something he had only done once before while dueling Joey at Duelist Kingdom. He cried. Tears ran down his cheeks and dripped off his face.

"There, there," Selina said, "forget him, the boy was just too weak."

Yami was reminded of Pegasus saying something similar when they thought Yugi's soul was lost to the shadow realm forever. 'I won't give up on him!' Yami thought fiercely as see through tears ran down his transparent face. His eyes held a determined look and he just glared at the spot his hikari had been standing before disappearing into thin air. Then he turned to glower at Selina once again and his eyes opened wide at what he saw, but then returned to a scowl.

(Selina: *horrorstricken* How could you make me this evil to kawaii Yugi & Yami? Serafina: *shrugs*)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

As soon as the helicopter had disappeared in a flash of light, everyone was able to get up and uncover his or her ears. No one had noticed what was going on during the kidnapping because they had been to busy trying to get away from the sound. No one else had been paying enough attention, except Yugi's friends. Neither Joey nor Tea got up from the ground. Tea was crying uncontrollably and Joey was punching the ground repeatedly making his knuckles bleed. Ryou comforted Tea and Tristan made Joey stand up. Joey stood, and then tried to punch Tristan because he was so angry and not thinking strait. Tristan was too smart for that and dodged while trying to calm Joey down so he wouldn't hurt anybody.

"I'M such and IDIOT! I could have saved him! I should have saved him!"

"No, Joey. There was nothing any of us could do. Ne, he's still got Yami with him. He'll come back to us. We just have to believe in him if we want to get him back."

"You're right, Tristan; come'on we gotta tell Gramps."

The four friends ran all the way to Yugi's house. Tea never once stopped crying and when Mr. Mutou saw that Yugi was nowhere to be found and Tea sobbing he knew what had happened. He groaned and said, "What happened to Yugi, Joey?"

Tristan helped Joey explain what had gone on, but they both stopped when Tea suddenly gasp audibly. Then Joey, Tristan, and Ryou all felt a jolt pierce their hearts and the feeling of Yugi. Then it felt like something was applying some sort of stress on their hearts.

"Guys," Tea inquired, "do you feel that same feeling when Yugi was dueling Pegasus in the Shadow Realm?"

"Yeah," they chorused softly.

"Yugi," Tea stated softly and tried to reach out to him, offering him her strength. Joey, Ryou, and Tristan did also trying to help her help Yugi. Since that was the only way they knew to help.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"YAMI!" Yugi yelled to his partner helplessly as he was sucked into the Shadow Realm.

"YUGI! NO! YUGI!" Yami yelled back and the next thing Yugi knew, he was in the Shadow Realm.

He could feel the Shadow Realm draining him of energy already. It was a weird experience though. Yugi couldn't connect to Yami mentally by their mind link, but he could still feel Yami's emotions. At first Yami was overcome by grief, them he felt determined and it felt like Yami was giving Yugi his own strength. Yugi was getting stronger, but not strong enough to break free of the bondage of the Shadow Realm. Then he felt the combined strength of his friends Joey, Tea, Tristan, and Ryou and the power they had combined, mixed with Yami's power and it was enough for him to push his way out of the Shadow Realm and back into his own.

Somehow he didn't come out where he had been before, but behind Selina. She was holding the Millennium Puzzle and smirking at Yugi's darker half who was staring at the spot Yugi had disappeared from. His face was tear stained, but his eyes were determined and then he turned to glare at Selina, but his eyes went wide in the shock of seeing Yugi. Yugi tackled Selina from behind sending them both to the ground and he grabbed the Millennium Puzzle out of her grip. He put the puzzle around his neck and let Yami take over.

"NO!" Selina said, "how. . .how could you do that?"

"It's called friendship," Yami answered before using mind crush and banishing Selina to the Shadow Realm.

Yami turned to Michael and Mason, but they held up their hands and said, "We don't want to fight. We have no idea what's been going on here, but she was making us do everything." Then they ran off and told Yami thanks for getting rid of her.

Yami sighed and said, //Great job, Yugi//

/I couldn't have done it without you and the others. We should probably go find them and let them know we are all right./

Yami chuckled and started to leave when a golden object on the ground caught his eye. It was the millennium Bracelet. He picked it up and decided to ask Isis what to do with it.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tea sighed knowing Yugi was ok and everything was finally over. How she knew she didn't know, she just did. The shop bell rang and everyone waited with baited breaths. Yugi walked into the room and said, "Thanks you guys, for everything. I couldn't have made it without you. Now it seems I have a lot to tell you."

"Yeah, it does, Yug. I'm glad you're back."

"Yeah! Me too! Let's see now, where should I begin. . ."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Isis felt Yami's presence and knew he was coming to see her before he even made it into the room. She turned around and saw him standing in the doorway of the museum. It was Sunday so there was nobody else there but her.

"Hello, Pharaoh," she greeted warmly.

"Hello, Isis. I was wondering what should I do with this?" He asked not stopping to chitchat.

"You should keep it, Pharaoh Yami. You may find a use for it in the near present. . ."

THE END!
