"Ryou...what is the answer to number 2?"

Suddenly, Ryou popped his head up in a dazed confusion. Usually, he was alert, and always knew the right answer, but today, he had been dozing off, and he wasn't his normal perky self. This made Yugi very suspicious, and that was the last think the Ryou wanted to do today.

"Twenty..erm...two..." The teacher shook her head in disatisfaction, while handing Ryou a detention slip. He sighed, and accepted his punishment. Before he had been rudely awakened, Ryou had been in another realistic dream. He was still on that hospital stretcher...being sent to the ER...but something was different. His face was looking down onto the stretcher...that must mean...Bakura was in trouble. Ryou fought the urge to skip detention, even though all his will had been focused on saving his Yami. Why hadn't have seen the warning signs? Bakura was way less talkative then usual...it was almost like he was planning something...

'Bakura...why aren't you talking today?'

The sudden interaction of Ryou had startled Bakura, who had been silent all day. Bakura was slightly annoyed by this; he had been planning Malik's demise.

'None of your business...leave me alone...'

'But I had another dream and-'

'Do you think I am concerned by your foolish dreams and wantings?' Bakura snapped back. Ryou seemed slightly hurt, but said no more to his Yami. But that was all he could think about during detention. He knew Bakura was grumpy...but he was only trying to warn him...suddenly, Bakura took over. His plan was ready.

In his most Ryou-like voice, Bakura asked the teacher if he could go to the bathroom.

"I'm sorry, Ryou, but that is one of the drawbacks of detention. You might try-"

"SILENCE!" Bakura could take it no longer. The ring glowed and sent the teacher flying to the other side of the room, where she then slipped out of consiousness. "Foolish mortal..."

Bakura stormed out of the room, only to find Yugi waiting outside in the hallway. "...damn..." Bakura muttered to himself.

"Hi Ryou, did you just hear that noise? It almost sounded like-"

"Erm, Yugi. I have...to...go..." Yugi noticed that Ryou's eyes looked darker than usual...a look that most certainly always ment... Before Yugi could say something, Bakura stormed out of the school.

'Yugi...I sense that something is very wrong...'

'Where are we going Bakura?'

'Like I said, this is just MY BUSINESS...so stay out. You'll find out soon enough.' Bakura's eyes gleamed as he walked toward the sign that read "HARBOR". His plan would be simple; challenge Malik to a shadow game/duel. Not only would he obtain Ra, and the Millenium Rod, but he would send Malik to the shadow realm...forever.

***********************************************************************

Ryou cringed as Bakura walked up to a boat...it seemed so familiar, but Ryou still couldn't tell what Bakura was going to do. Bakura sensed Ryou's fear, and merely laughed. 'You don't know where we are, do you?' All Ryou could do was simply nod, but he was starting to get a pretty grim idea. 'You must have a forgetful mind, child. Let me refresh your memory...' The millenium ring eerily glowed, and Bakura began to show Ryou what he really meant.

Ryou watched as he saw Bakura shake hands with...Malik...Why would Bakura make a deal with such a decieving character? Ryou's eyes grew in horror, and he knew exactly why they were here; the Rod.
