I'm back! Isn't everyone so happy. Welcome to Chapter 2 of my story, I
hope you enjoy it!
***Chapter 2
The Shadow Portal***
On Wednesday June the 17th, at 567 Luna Drive, stood Yugi Motou.
/Funny,/ he thought to Yami,/ I was expecting the tournament to be at some big, fancy mansion or something, not this dump./
That was indeed a fair description of their surroundings. An old, dilapidated warehouse accompanied a wonderful stench of decaying garbage sat before them.
//I guess we should go inside than,// thought Yami uncertainly, //but if this turns out to have anything to do with our Puzzle, my past, or the God Cards, we are out of here. I don't want you getting mixed up in those things again, understand?//
/Yes Yami./
Yugi approached the stinking structure with apprehension. What if this was just some trap to get his Puzzle? Maybe his overprotective Yami was just being his usual, paranoid self. Well, there's only one way to find out!
The rusty metal door gave a resounding screech as Yugi struggled to shove it open. The inside of the warehouse was black and hollow.
"Hello? Is anybody here?" called Yugi, his small voice swallowed by the heavy air.
Another screech, followed by a loud bang of a closing door came from the other side of the room. Someone else seemed to have entered. "Is this where the tournament is?" came a female voice.
"I think so." replied Yugi. "But no one else is here. I'm Yugi Motou"
"I'm Kaya Weyward, I guess we must both be in the wrong spot then."
"No, you're both definitely in the right spot, at the right time."
A third voice filled the dark atmosphere. It was powerful and resonating. Yami immediately assumed control of Yugi.
"Who's there?" Yami's deep voice echoed throughout the room. "Show yourself."
"I think you know Pharaoh."
That statement threw him, "I have no idea what you are talking about".
"You will soon, I never expected you to be that spirit I saw. It makes this much more interesting, now prepare to lose your hikari!"
A void of silence seemed to follow that pronouncement. The warehouse seemed to grow dimmer. Reality seemed to dissipate.
"What's happening?" Kaya's voice was small and scared, swallowed by the shadows creeping up on her.
"I don't -" Yami's sentence was cut short as he felt a tug at his soul.
Like someone was trying to take his puzzle, no, Yugi!
"Hikari!" Yami cried feeling his light being ripped from him.
"Yami!" screamed Yugi. His soul was being taken from his body! Frantically, he reached for the spirit. "Help me!"
Familiar shadows of purple and black creeped up on them as they were pulled away from the world of light, but not all the way. Yami kept a hold on his hakari as they were pulled into the Shadow Realm.
*************************
Kaya struggled to free herself as the darkness threatened to steal her away. A sharp pain in her heart. 'I can't feel my body!' She frantically thought, struggling to keep her weak grip on reality.
Near her, the boy, Yugi, was in a similar situation, but there were . two of them? The new one seemed to be helping the younger. 'No one helped me. I feel alone.'
The pain subsided as she drifted into blissful unconsciousness. 'Oh well.I don't have any friends.' was her last conceivable thought as the shadows consumed her soul.
****************************
A voice pierced the fog in Yugi's mind, "Yugi, are you okay?". He wandered into consciousness, guided by his guardian's voice, accompanied by a dull headache.
"Oh Yami, where are we?" Yugi asked, gazing at his hazy surroundings. He wondered if he wasn't still unconscious.
Yami replied grimly, "We seem to be in the Shadow Realm."
"Oh great", Yugi rolled his eyes. "I was starting to miss this place."
Yami smiled at his hikari's sarcasm. "Someone pulled us here, or rather wanted to pull you here. I managed to hold you back from going completely to where they were trying to take you, and it seems that we are separate for the time being."
For the first time, Yugi noticed Yami standing a few feet away. "But wait," Yugi said suddenly. "Where did that other girl, Kaya, go?"
Yami turned to his hikari, "I really don't know. She must be in the hands of whoever pulled us here."
"Oh." said his light sadly.
Yami was about to speak when two forms suddenly burst from the shadows, an elven warrior clad in armour, struggling against a rotting purple dragon.
"The.the.Celtic guardian." Stammered Yugi, staring at the fighting monsters in awe.
Yami slowly added, "and the Dragon Zombie."
With a clash the warriors sword cleaved the dragon's head. The dragon gave an ear-splitting screech as he dissipated into the shadows. The two boys watched, speechless, as the warrior returned his sword to it's sheath. He turned to face them. A surprised look passed through his elven features.
"What are you doing here, Master Yugi?"

That chapter was a "bit" longer. I hope I'm building the plot well. If you have any comments or suggestions please review and let me know! Thank- you!
