***Chapter 7
Journey's Start***
As the weak sun shed a little light over the study of the Dark Magician, the residents of the house were being pulled away from the warm embrace of sleep by a most obnoxious sound.
"Hey everyone! Wake up, wake up, WAKE UP! We gotta go! We're gonna save the world! Don't you 'member! Aw, common, WAKE UP!
"SHUT UP!!!" yelled a very grumpy Dark Magician. He was already up, looking through his numerous scrolls, trying to find anything to extend his rather limited knowledge on the Orb of Shadows, and who might want it. So far, he had come up with dead ends. Now, he was getting angry with a certain tiny dragon, screaming through his house.
'I can not WAIT until he is out of here.' thought the annoyed magician.
Yugi and the spirit of the millenium puzzle were already up. Yugi, who had not have the best night of sleep, was thinking over last night's dream, that strange dark tower. . . Yami was contemplating the road ahead. They were going to be traveling through the shadow realm. That alone guaranteed that the trip was not going to be without threats and dangers. . . not to mention that shrimp dragon who's yells were still echoing through the walls. 'We must be prepared for the worst.' thought Yami.
"Are you two up yet?" Magician poked his head through the door.
"Yeah, just a minute," mumbled Yugi. He was reluctant to rise.
"Hey Hikari . . ." Yami said, sitting up.
"Yeah, what's up?"
Yami sighed. "I don't want to sound too pessimistic or anything but, we must be prepared for the worst."
Yugi nodded.
Then Yami smiled, "but, if we stick together, we can get through this!"
"Alright!" said Yugi, brightening up. "now lets get going!"
************************************************
Outside the Dark Magician's house/study, the gang assembled, ready to get underway with their journey. Yugi was excited to be heading out on an adventure, Yami was solemn, and the Baby Dragon, their Duel Monster guide, was hovering around their heads, yapping incoherently about Ra knows what. The Dark Magician approached them and handed a small stone to Yugi.
"Here Yugi. This stone will help protect you from the effects of the Shadow Realm. Do NOT lose it."
"Thank you" Yugi pocketed the pale stone. "I'll keep a close eye on it, that's for sure."
"Now dragon . . ." The magician turned to the orange creature perched on an annoyed Yami's shoulder. "You had better not get these two lost or I'll . . ."
"No sweat dude!" The dragon interrupted. "They're safe and sound with me!"
"I'm sure . . ." muttered the magician. Addressing the whole trio, he said, "now, I wish you the best of luck on your journey. I hope you will accomplish your goal, and save the Shadow Realm."
"We will try our best." Yami said.
"With that, fairwell, Master Yami and Yugi. May the shadows part for you on your path."
They nodded, and walked away. Away from the light of he duel monster's part of the shadow realm, to the swirling shadows that haunted the horizon. The journey had begun.
***********************************************
Moonlight filtered in through the only window of a small room. It was tidy, and clean. All the shelves of the dresser were shut, and the small bed was made neatly. Its only occupant sat at a wooden desk, a lamp giving light to his math homework. He sighed and ran a hand through his untidy white hair. 'Honestly, you'd think I committed a crime to get all this homework,' thought Ryou Bakura, his eyes blurring as he stared at the page of meaningless figures and diagrams, 'my math teacher must hate me. . .'
//Would you like me to send her to the Shadow Realm then?// A menacing voice said in Ryou's mind. The ring around his neck glowed with a pale golden light for an instant, then returned to its previous state.
Ryou yelped in surprise. "No, that's quite alright thanks." He stammered and turned around to see the form of his Yami, sitting nonchalantly on his bed. His transparent figure seemed to blend into the moonlight.
"It might save you some trouble ya know." Yami Bakura said, grinning devilishly. "Save you some homework. I think . . . well, I just figured that if I got the urge to send someone to the Shadow Realm, it might be someone who you want out of the way." His grin got wider.
"Um . . . I appreciate you uh . . . looking out for me and all . . . but . . . no thanks! I think I can get through my homework.
"Okay then, suit yourself." Bakura rose from his position. "I'm going out to look around if you don't mind. You can do your stupid homework later. I've got some mortals to torture."
"No, not-" Ryou's protest was cut short as he felt the familiar and dreaded feeling of being forced from his body by another. In a second of time, the Millenium Ring glowed and Yami Bakura's form disappeared. Bakura, now quite solid, stood in Ryou's place.
"Time to go . . ." Yami Bakura's voice echoed through the tidy room as he left it.
On the desk, the lamp's bulb flickered, and went out. Now, only moonlight shone onto the desk, and the unfinished math homework laying upon it.
*********************************************
Well, how was that? I hate the beginning, Yami and Yugi's part is getting harder and harder for me to write. I like the Ryou and Bakura part though! I'm trying to keep everyone in character . . . I really am! Constructive criticism is welcomed, note the CONSTRUCTIVE part! Please no flames! If you don't like it, don't read it. Duh! So far though, every review I've had has been positive, and I'm VERY grateful to each and every one of you who took the time to do so. Reviews are GREATLY appreciated!
Next chappie, probably some more Bakura parts. Probably.
Incase you haven't noticed, I have only a very vague clue of where this story is going. I hope it goes somewhere good!
Thanks VERY much for reading! (and putting up with me yapping on . . .) Until next time!
