***Chapter 5
The Two Shadow Realms and a Plan***

"Where are we? Where's the freaky shadows and stuff? And what's with, hey! The Dark Magician! Now I know I'm going nuts . . ." Yugi's confused voice died off as he saw the monsters surrounding him. "Please . . .what's going on?"

Yami answered, "It's a long story, but I am sure that we are in safe hands."

The monsters nodded, showing that they were there to help.

"Now, can you two tell me how you two got into this realm? Was it the Millenium items?" The Dark Magician took charge.

"No," answered Yami, "it was something, or someone else. This . . . entity was trying to pull Yugi, and another girl to a place deep in the Shadow Realm. For what purpose, I have no idea, but he seemed to know that I was once Pharaoh."

"Are you sure he was after Yugi?" asked the magician.

"Yes, for sure. I felt him being pulled away from me . . ." He trailed off, not wanting to relive painful memories.

"And another girl?"

"Yes, Kaya Weyward." Yugi piped up, finding his voice.

"I see," said the magician thoughtfully. "I heard from the Lord of Dragons that two humans were recently taken from the world of light, it must be Yugi and Kaya."

"But why? " asked the Celtic Guardian. "what use would someone have for them, to the point that they would actually reach into the other world to get them?"

"I don't know, but it might have something to do with the Orb of Shadows." The spellcaster said. Seeing questioning looks from everyone, he explained. "It's a powerful magical object that resides in the very centre of the Shadow Realm. No person without a pure heart could break the spell protecting the Orb."

"So someone needs Master Yugi and the girl to break the spell!" said the Mystical Elf, helping Yugi sit up.

"Okay, I understand that," said Yugi slowly, "but what I don't get is the fact that before, we were in the Shadow Realm with all the dark fog and stuff, but now we're in a nice house? Are we still in the Shadow Realm?"

The magician answered, "Yes, we are, but this realm is divided into two parts. One is the desolate land of torture in the shadows, where tormented souls dwell in solitude. The other is the land in which the Duel Monsters live, namely, here."

"I see . . ." mused Yami lightly. "but what I'm most concerned about is how we are going to get out of this realm."

"Does your Puzzle not transport you out?" The Celtic Guardian asked.

"No, for some strange reason its powers are being stopped."

"I know who can help!" a new voice piped up.

Trough the window flew a small, orange dragon, supported by two flapping wings.

"The Baby Dragon!" realized Yugi.

"Sorry, but I just HAPPENED to overhear your conversation and thought I could help!" the young dragon spoke in a quick, high pitched voice, in the manner that implied that he was not sorry at all. The Dark Magician winced at the sound.

"Alright what have you got." muttered the magician.

"I heard from the Lesser Dragon, that he was told by the Winged Dragon, that his friend, the Curse of Dragon, met the Kumori Dragon who's cousin, the Dark Fire Dragon knows the Dark Sage!" The hyper little dragon said all this very quickly, very proud that his advice had been asked for by a powerful monster.

"And . . ." prompted the Celtic Guardian.

"He's soooooo wise, and soooooo old, and soooooo powerful that he can summon things from the Realm of Light . . .or so I've heard from the Lesser Dragon who heard it from the Winged Dragon that-"

"ENOUGH!! I THINK we get the POINT. Thank-you." the Dark Magician interrupted exasperatedly.

"Why, your most welcome!" said the dragon proudly.

"Maybe he can help us get back . . . but what about Kaya and the bad guy trying to get the Orb?" Yugi asked worriedly.

"I don't know aibou." Said Yami. He was worried about that too, but he didn't want to get in to anything that would endanger his hikari. Turning to the monsters, he asked, "what can this Orb do?"

The magician replied, "In the wrong hands, it could plunge the world of Light, and our part of this realm, into shadows."

"Oh, great." Yugi muttered. "So what do we do?"

"I know! I know! I know! I-"

"What!" said the Celtic Guardian, trying not to pull his sword.

The dragon outlined his . . . idea. "They can travel through the shadowed area, I know a short-cut that my third cousin twice removed, the Dragon Dwelling in a Cave told me about on his twenty-fifth anniversary, that leads to the Lord of Dragons' Castle, where three of the Blue Eyes White Dragons live, did I tell you about the time I rescued the from that tidal wave? No? Oh well, I'll tell you later. Anyway, they can tell you where the Orb is, and maybe take you there, but I don't know. The last time my friend, The Witty Phantom, tried to ride them . . . man! He couldn't crap right for a week! Anyway, so once you get there you can try and stop that bad guy, he couldn't be much worse than that Summoned Skull can he? Man that guy should watch his blood pressure, what a temper! Anyway stop him, then go to the Dark Sage and ask him to send you all back!!"

The collective beings in the room eyed the hyper little dragon for a moment in silence.

"O. Kay." Said Yugi, the first to speak, "sounds like a plan!"

"Sure hikari." Said Yami slowly, "We'll leave tomorrow, I guess."

"Cool!" the dragon launched off again, "And I even get to come with you to show you the way to the castle! Man this is going to be fun! We can eat lots of food on the way and sing camp songs, and-"

"Alright than it's settled! You'll leave tomorrow with the Baby Dragon!" The Dark Magician interrupted once more to shut the dragon up.

"What!!! I have to trek half way through the Shadow Realm with a sugar-high pipsqueak dragon! Oh Ra, why me?" Yami whined.

"Aw, common Yami! It might be fun! Please can we go??" said Yugi cutely.

'No not the chibi eyes!!' thought the spirit. "Alright I guess . . ." 'I know I am SO going to regret this!'

"YES! We get to save the world again!"
