A/N: I've decided to use Gema J. Gall's idea for two more millennium items, and I'd like to thank her for suggesting the idea. Please review.

"It had been five years since me and Yugi had won the Battle City finals.... and we were enjoying some time of peace, with no threats to us and the world. But, little did we know that there was still a threat."
I sit there, hypnotized by his words as he continues with his tale.
"Yami Bakura broke into the house one night, and I sensed him, but before I could do anything," Yami closes his eyes, his voice full of regret as he says his next words, and pain. "He removed a piece of the Millennium Puzzle, knowing that that was the only way to stop me from coming out of the puzzle, and I was helpless as he walked away with not only the puzzle but with me also, with Yugi sleeping on, not knowing what was going on."
~*~
There are moments of silence, as the painful words that Yami says are absorbed.
"It was all my fault," Yugi's voice whispers, his voice a ghost of his sweet and innocent self that was on the show. "I should've been more on my guard... I should have realized that he would do anything to obtain the puzzle, including breaking the law to do so. It's all my fault." A single tear rolls down his face, the only sign of his robbed innocence that was taken from him when the puzzle was stolen.
"It wasn't your fault," his darker side says gently, and I can tell that it's an old argument that shouldn't have even become an issue.
Joey comes walking back in, carrying the first-aid kit under his arm. "Yeah, Yugi, it isn't your fault what Yami Bakura did... he's a snake in the grass!" Joey says, sitting down and opening the first aid kit, tending to my wounds.
I listen to the words with interest, realizing not for the first time how many lives have changed under Yami Bakura's rule.
Yami clears his throat, making sure he all of our attentions before continuing with the story...

"As I watched the events unfold, I wondered how Yami Bakura was going to get the rest of the Items, I thought that there was no way that Yami Marik would just hand over his Millennium Rod, and Shadi with the Millennium Key...
how wrong I was.
Yami Bakura had made a deal that if he handed over me to Yami Marik, Yami Bakura would get the Rod in exchange." He shivers in fear, as if remembering that second as if it just happened instead of five years ago. "He tortured me... that's where I lost my eye, and got all my scars, because of what he did. He also showed every painful moment of what was happening to the outside world, but I'll get to that later on.
I basically gave up hope, too injured and in pain to care anymore about what happened to me in any case, but then my savior came in the most unexpected form...
Yami Bakura."
I blink in surprise at the fact that Yami Bakura would actually stop someone from being tortured, "why?"
Yami's smiles bitterly as he continues: "he thought that Yami Marik had enough torture of me, and he wanted for me to see what he has done, and what he had done to Yugi and his friends. Yami Marik was banished to the Shadow Realm, and I was set free to see what torture Yami Bakura had done to the world. I was horrified, and try to manage to find my way back to Yugi's house to warn him...
I was too late.
Yami Bakura, after he took the Rod, he went after Shadi, using the Ring to locate the Key in Egypt. He found Shadi, faithfully guarding the tomb where the Scales used to be. Shadi has powerful powers, but it was nothing to Yami Bakura, and within moments, Shadi no longer had the Key around his neck, and was banished to the Shadow Realm, Yami Bakura then placed all the items in the slots of the tomb, and it unleashed powers that are unimaginable among this world that you can't even dream of."

A quiet sob breaks the trance I'm in about Yami Mouto's story, and I turn to Yugi, from where the sound is coming from.
"It's all my fault..." Yugi whispers again, and I feel a surge of sadness about him and what happened to him and his Yami.
"Stop blaming yourself," Yami scolds, and then continues...
~*~
"Yami Bakura could now make monsters come to life outside the Shadow Realm, and he did so with ease, and he made new ones... and started his reign of terror. His first target was his hometown, the ruins that you see. The attack was unexpected; luckily, we were all together when it happened. There were hundreds of monsters, and..." Yami sounds pained, strangled as he lowers his head in guilt and shame. "We couldn't stop them, because our monsters didn't come to life. We ran along with everyone else, the monsters taking people as easy pickings to kill or to become slaves, a fate worse than death. We finally found a hiding spot here, helpless to do anything but watch for years."
Yami closes his eyes in pain. "When Yami Bakura attacked the city, me and Yugi's grandfather tried to keep up, but he couldn't, we tried to help him, but..." his voice cracks, and to my amazement, tears fill his eyes. "He didn't make it, and neither did Mokuba, the reason why Kaiba is helping us out now."
~*~
I close my eyes, picturing the screams of terror and the smell of blood in the air that these people had to face when the only place that they have ever considered home was destroyed...
and I'm silent.
Yami waits for several moments of silence before starting the rest of the story.

"Ishizu somehow found this place even without the necklace a year ago, and she said that there was still hope, that there was another Millennium Item. Imagine how happy we were... until she told us it was not in this world, but in yours. She said that you would be coming soon, and we've been waiting ever since, for you to save not only this world, but yours as well."
~*~
Yami finishes his story; an awkward silence fills the room, the only sound heard is our own breathing and the slow ticking of the clock in the background.
I just sit there, thinking once again about the thought of killing someone, and starting to feel that I was wrong...
Seto comes running in, face bright red and breathing hard, but I can tell he's in the same shape as the others about what has happened to their lives.
He completely ignores me, turning to Yami. "There's... a... monster... outside..." he wheezes.
I pale, scrambling to my feet with the rest of the group.
Yami looks at me, and I already know what he's going to say before he opens his mouth and says:
"Lets see what your glass can do."
