Shadowless CH 2 - Kimmy and friends

Malik was standing on a nearby hill, behind where DJ and Kiri were observing the dark cloud that had assimilated on the street. DJ and Kiri shrugged as he kept laughing, and all was explained. DJ and Kiri had once before encountered Malik, one year previous, and thought never to see him again. Even from afar, DJ noticed there was still no Millennium Rod. It was given to Marik when they separated. DJ remembered this very clearly, and so did his own Yami, which is in his Millennium Item, the Millennium Bracelet. Malik is known for bringing people to the shadow realm, and torturing souls in his own way. DJ and Kiri tried to stay out of view as they snuck along the rim of the cloud to get to the other side, to be out of Malik's view.

"DJ! Kiri!" It was Kimmy, who was 15, and went to the same high school that DJ and Kiri were late for.

"Can you believe this? Hey? Have you seen Malik? He's over on that hill. I had a hunch it was hi-"

"Kimmy, get serious!"

"Kimmy, serious? Ha!"

"Can it, Melanie!" Kimmy was referring to the girl next to her that was in Kimmy's grade, also 15.

"Malik! Look at him!" DJ pointed at Malik as he walked through the crowd toward the black being.

"Ha ha. This is only the beginning! The first part of my plan is completed!"

"Did you hear that? He went in!"

"No way? I don't think he's gone in before, cause he just said his first part of his plan was complete!"

"Okay, so what are we supposed to do about this?"

"We've handled Malik before, and we can do it again." DJ said as he walked toward the cloud. "Who's with me?"

"You know I am." Kimmy stepped forward, and her friend Melanie followed.

"Ugh, but my paper!"

"Kiri? Who cares? Besides, you know that time speeds up in the Shadow Realm." "But,"

"There's nothing to worry about! We've been in this place before! We'll be fine!"

"But you know what happened last time! The Shadow Realm affected each of us in a weird way!"

"The Shadow Realm does that, Kiri. Get used to it, anyways, we have to find out what Malik is doing."

"Why can't Yugi deal with it again?"

"Kiri, he's probably already trying, it obviously hasn't been working, because Malik hasn't been stopped!"

"Fine. Let's go!" DJ walked in first. The inside gleamed a dark light. He saw Malik and ducked out of his sight, but it was too late.

"Oh, it's you. I remember you. I'm sorry about last year."

"MALIK! WHAT ARE YO- did you say you were sorry?"

"Yeah, and I'm sorry about these clouds of the Shadow Real-" "NO! I MEAN WHAT ARE YOU DOING HER- Ugh, sorr- AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" Malik grasped his head and fell to the ground. "I'm back. DJ. The Shadow Realm can be cruel. To everyone. Even as evil as I am, the Shadow Realm is horrible. It has a mind of its own, and it's chosen to make me opposite of my normal personality. But I've overcome it now, and I'm ready to show you and your pathetic friends the true evil of the Shadow Realm!!!

Well, that's it! Hope you enjoyed, and sorry it is so short, but I'm really in a rush this weekend. C ya!
