***Chapter 3
The Shadows Thicken***
Yugi was confused. Everything had happened quickly since they met with the Celtic Guardian. He was currently leading them towards a "safer place." Neither Yugi nor Yami knew what passed for a "safe place" in the shadow realm, but, since they had no idea where they were, they followed him.
Silence filled the endless expanse of shadows that surrounded them. In an attempt to break it, Yugi spoke up.
"So . where are we going?"
"A safer place than this."
The warrior seemed to stick to short, to the point sentences, but Yugi would not be content.
"Can you PLEASE tell us ABOUT where we're going?"
He replied with an edge of annoyance, "This is not a tale for me to tell. You will see soon enough Master Yugi."
Silence once again surrounded the three. The Celtic Guardian lead the two with a relentless, steady pace. Yami followed, head bowed in thought, for the most part, ignoring his Hikari. Yugi shuffled impatiently, bringing up the rear.
'This is so boring . When are we going? When are we going to get there? Why are we here in the first place?' Yugi mused impatiently as the group trudged into the mist.

***1st Person POV, Kaya***
I swam, desperate, in a sea of dark clouds. There was no air to breathe or light to guide my path. Where was this place? Where am I?
A dull ache passed through my mind. I was coming back to consciousness.
"What happened? Oh, there were shadows, and that boy and."
"And me." Snapped a voice.
I whipped around, instantly regretting the action for the pain in my head.
I could vaguely see the person that accompanied me. He appeared to be only a little older than me. His grayish hair was short, with lighter bangs, and his eyes shone a poisonous green. Long, dark robes hung off his shoulders. A sneer graced his features.
"So you're finally awake my dear," his emerald eyes bored into me, "about damn time."
"Who are you?" I tried to sound courageous but my voice wavered.
He eyed her thoughtfully for a second, ". You can call me Mhyrz."
So he would at least answer my questions, that's a start. "Did you bring me here?" At his curt nod, I continued, "Why?"
"It's a long story but I'll tell you a bit." He paused, eyeing her once more. He moved closer and sat down before continuing. "I have been stuck in this blasted realm for longer than I can remember."
"Why are you .. here.?" I asked but stopped short when he uttered a low growl.
"Do you want me to tell you or not?" he snarled.
"Sorry." I replied meekly.
"Thank-you. How I got here is of no concern. You are here to help me get what I want." He paused and a brief look of annoyance flashed by. "I wanted both of you, but that damn Pharaoh had to get in my way again. I needed two innocent and pure souls to get out of this place. You are one of them."
I blushed. Me? Innocent and pure?
"Oh don't flatter yourself. I needed two, but Yugi was protected. Stupid Pharaoh." He stopped and growled again. Geez, whoever this Pharaoh guy is, he must really get on Mhyrz's nerves. "Anyway," he continued, "now that I see you, I might not need Yugi to accomplish my task."
"And what's that?" I asked tentatively.
"My task? Ha! All you need to know about that is that a) It will free me, b) it will imprison the other world, and c) at the end of this ordeal, you will be dead."
Oh no. The colour drained from my face. I'm going to die? I know it's horrible cliché, but . I'm to young to die!!
"Hahaha!" Mhryz laughed at my desperate look. "don't worry, you'll live for a while yet . but when your time comes. I will have no remorse in getting rid of you . to free my soul."
He laughed once again and turned to leave without another word. I was alone. again. and I was going to die so some madman could rule the world or something. This was SO not my day.

So, how was it? Please let me know! Oh, and by the way, the bad guy's name is pronounced Meers. I like him! More on Yugi and Yami next chappie. Thanks for reading!
