Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh, but I do own everyone and everything in Diyalin, so don't take any of my characters!
~ Oh, forget the reviews! I'll just go on adding chapters (there are six in all, I think.) As I've said before, I already have the whole story planned out, so I'm not writing anymore chapters, but I do plan on a sequel. If you have any suggestions as to what I should add in the sequel, let me know! BTW, this is my first fic posted here, so be nice!~

CHAPTER TWO: DIYALIN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*~flashback~*
*Hikura, in her full form (except she is also wearing a silver tiara), is walking down what seems to be a Northern Diyalin town's main street, which covered in snow. She's flanked by bodyguards, and her younger sister, Princess Holly of Eastern Diyalin, who has short dark red hair and dark green skin, and is wearing a large green emerald necklace. She's very short, and is floating in the air on a large leaf. No one seems to find this in the least bit strange.*
Hikura: "Hazel, what do you think about the Naming Ceremony maybe starting up again?"
Holly: *claps her hands together* "The Naming Ceremony?! Starting again?! I was real young when it last took place, only 25, still a toddler! Wow, is Daddy actually considering starting it again?"
Hikura: "Dad just casually mentioned at dinner last night that, if he wasn't too busy, maybe I'd like it if he started the Naming Ceremony back up. I told him yes, it would be great! He said he'd think about it, then."
Holly: *spins around on leaf in mid air* "Oh, goody! I've got to let Tazel and Zephyr know about this! Will you teleport me to Tazel, sis?"
Hikura: *smiles* "Sure. I'm sure Tazel will be ecstatic!" *gestures to guards* Stand back, please. I'll be right back."
One of the guards: "But Princess Hikura, we aren't supposed to let you out of our si--"
Hikura: *interrupts* "I'll only be gone for a second. Just stand here and before you can say "sapphire" I'll be back! Oh, and do you want me to let Zeph know, or can you take care of him?"
Holly: *jokes* "I can't actually travel all the way across the country from the south to the west as quick as you can."
Hikura: "OK, I'll let our dear brother know." *laughs, and puts hand on Holly's shoulder, vanishing* *one second later, she's back* *to guards* "See, was that so bad? Now I have to go let Zephyr know..." *smiles, thinking of how her older brother, with his wind-blown blond hair would try not to smile when she tells him about the Naming Ceremony* *to self* "Zeph has always been the serious one, ruling the West and the wind. The twins, Holly and Tazel, always goof around. Tazel's always accidentally starting small forest fires and Holly goes berserk trying to grow back all the trees and plants. And I... I've always been the odd one out, the oldest, the half-sibling... the half-human. Not that I don't love my stepmother, Lelora, but she's not my real mother. She's Zephyr, Tazel, and Holly's mother. When I come to visit dad, everyone makes a big deal out of it. But I know some of the citizens object to having a half-human as Princess of the Northern Lands. That's part of the reason father divorced from mother, I'll bet. Because she was human." *grows angry at the thought of it* No! They just weren't right for each other, it didn't have anything to do with what the Diyalins thought about mom! And who cares what they think, anyway? I'm Princess, and Dad's even thinking of me being the heir to the throne of all Diyalin. Me, Queen of Diyalin... what a scary thought!" *out loud* "Guards, I've changed my mind. I'm not going to Prince Zephyr right now, I'm too tired. Let's head back home to the Ice Palace..." *turns around, but then stops at the sound of a commotion in the street* "What in the Realm...?"
One of the guards: "Sounds like an outsider is causing a peasant riot."
*they hurry to the source of the sound, a large crowd of the public shouting at an outsider*
Hikura: *tries to push through to the middle*
Guards: "Out of the way, out of the way, Princess Hikura is coming through! Go on, get away from here, go about your business!" *some of the crowd, mainly older citizens, bow down in respect to the Princess, though most just drift away*
*in the center of the street, the spirit of a teenage boy is standing looking furious, his clothes ripped and dirty*
Boy: *in a furious voice with a hint of a British accent* "How can they see me?!"
Guard: "Every spirit can be seen in the Shadow Realm, trespasser! What are you doing here in Diyalin?!"
Boy: *growls* "I'm looking for a portal back to Earth! I've been wondering for months, trying to find the stupid portal so I can get my revenge on that brat Pharaoh! But this is all I can expect to get, a thief's welcome! Though that is technically what I should receive, for I am the greatest tomb raider and thief of all time!" *starts to laugh maniacally*
Hikura: *arches an eyebrow* *whispering to guards* "He's obviously a bit delirious, in a wrong state of mind. But he sort of seems sane enough... maybe he's telling the truth. Let me handle this." *speaks up* "Spirit, where do you come from?"
Boy: "My name is not 'spirit', it is Ri. But you can kindly call me Bakura."
Hikura: "All right than, Bakura. Where are you from? We can help you if you just give us some answers."
Bakura: "I've nothing left to loose, so I suppose I have no choice but to talk. I am originally from Ancient Egypt, my profession, as I said, a great tomb raider. Though I suppose thief's are welcome in this town, as I've already witnessed numerous citizens picking pockets and snitching food from stores. It's very much like Earth, if you ask me. Except on Earth you don't every-so-often run across a blue or green fairy." *eyes Hikura* "As I said, I'm trying to get to Domino, Japan to get my revenge on the brat Prince."
*silence*
Hikura: "That's all you're going to say?"
Bakura: *nods*
Hikura: *sighs* "Diyalin is not an exactly friendly place by nature, if you catch my drift, but every-so-often you'll run across a blue or green fairy who's kind enough to help a lost soul." *smiles a small smile* "So I will direct you to the nearest portal, if you do something for me in return."
Bakura: "Yes?"
Hikura: "Tell me why you want revenge so badly."
Bakura: *eyes take on a fiery, kind of sad look* "He took away my fate, my chance to go back home and rest in peace! I'll admit I was out to... well, control the world, at first..."
Hikura: *tries not to giggle*
Bakura: "... but now I just want to go back to my time in Egypt. You see, I never finished my life. I guess I'll continue robbing tombs. As you see me here, I am stuck at the age of 15. I want to live the rest of my life! But robbing is what I am good at, so there's no use trying to stop. But before I do go back, that Prince Yami is going to pay for what he did to me! He will send me back, if it's the last thing I do!"
Hikura: "Fine then, it is a just cause. I shall lead you to the portal in the morning."
Bakura: "The morning? But I need to go now!"
Hikura: "It's either morning or not at all."
Bakura: *sighs* "Morning, then. Where am I to stay?"
Hikura: "Guards?"
*guards all put a hand on each others shoulder or arm, and all link up to Hikura*
Bakura: "What is this?"
Hikura: "You have to be touching me. I'm going to teleport us all back to my palace. You'll stay the night there, and in the early morning I'll bring a guard and we'll teleport to the portal."
Bakura: *reluctantly puts hand on Hikura's shoulder* "Teleport? Is that... safe?"
Hikura: *laughs* "This coming from the maniac who cut himself just for the sake of
loyalty?"
Bakura: *shocked*
Hikura: *laughs again* "I can sense things about people's past, sometimes. As soon as I saw you, that memory popped into my mind. I wish not, it's quite disturbing..." *they all vanish*
*~end flashback~*
Hikura: "So I helped him. He wasn't all that bad, just not pushed in the right direction as a child."
Joey: *bursts out laughing* *rolls around on floor* *starts to cry from laughing so hard* "Not pushed in the right direction as a child?! Hah, that's the funniest thing I've ever heard!" *laughs harder*
Tea: *kicks Joey* "Grow up!"
Hikura: "When I saw you today, Ryou, I noticed you looked a lot like Bakura. And I found out later that your last name was Bakura, so I immediately teleported over here to let you know that Bakura is here, on Earth."
Yami: "This helps me a great deal, Hikura. You have my thanks."
Tea: "But you said you hadn't been to your father's when you were talking to me."
Hikura: "I had to come back, and it wouldn't have made much sense for me to tell you I'd gone to a far away country just to come back and then return."
Tea: *nods* "You're right."
Hikura: "You aren't going to hurt Bakura, are you? You're going to send him back to Ancient Egypt, right? You have to! Just send him back and he won't want revenge anymore..." *voice falters* "Well, that was a stupid statement. He means what he says, I'm thinking..."
Tristen: "When Bakura gets his mind set on something, he sticks to it."
Tea: "But he hasn't came back yet. Where is he? This was only yesterday, right?"
Hikura: "Yes, yesterday morning he came here. He's older than me, did you know? Though it's different for Dryads. Right now I'm 754 years old, which measures 15 in your years. My birthday was a couple of weeks ago. But who cares about age? We need to find out where Bakura is."
Ryou: *has been quiet all this time, but now speaks up* "He's near... I feel him now."
Malik: "Me, too. He's in this area. Somewhere in Domino, within 3 miles of us. We need to go somewhere..." *goes to door, but can't open it* "The snow's blocking it!" *looks out window, which is completely black* "The snow's up past the window! We're trapped!"
Yami: *changes back to Yugi*
Yugi: "Grandpa! He could be hurt or lost out there!"
Tea: "I'm sure he's fine, Yugi. He probably is in the grocery store with all the other people, or somewhere else safe."
Malik: "Wait, I'll try to sense him..." *closes eyes* "Oh!"
Yugi: *franticly* "'Oh!' WHAT???"
Malik: *sits down in chair again, nonchalantly* "He's with my sister at my apartment. The building has a generator, so they have power. Lucky them." *closes eyes and acts like he's asleep again*
Yugi: "MALIK!! How can you joke at a time like this?!"
Malik: "It's a gift."
Tea: "Well, Grandpa and Isis are fine, Yugi, but how are we going to get out of here?"
Yugi: "What about my mom?"
Tristen: "You've got a mom?!"
Yugi: *defensively* "Yes, I do! She lives in America, in California."
Joey: *falls over* "It's likely 80 or 90 degrees in California, Yugi! She's fine!"
Yugi: "Hmph." *pouts*
Hikura: "I-I can try to teleport us all out of here..."
Ryou: "No, Hikura, you're too weak to teleport all of us..."
Hikura: *grabs sapphire* "Never. Ever. Say. That. I. Am. Weak!!!" *blue light blasts through door, leaving a huge hole and a tunnel straight through the snow*
Malik: *jumps up* "Wow, that was amazing!"
Hikura: *is too tired to talk* *nods slowly*
Yugi: "I'll go upstairs and see what warm blankets and coats I can find for us." *runs upstairs to the house-part of the shop* *comes back down 5 minutes later with handfuls of bulky blankets and coats* "This used to be my moms." *hands pink parka to Tea* "These are some large cloaks I used for Halloween one year, it's all I could find." *hands to Joey and Tristen* "These are Grandpa's old things. They may be a little small, but they're all we have." *hands to Ryou and Malik* "And all I have left are a bunch of sheets and blankets. I'm really sorry, Hikura, but I couldn't find a coat for you---"
Hikura: *gaining some strength back* "I don't need a coat, remember?" *walks out door*

~ Oh, forget the reviews! I'll just go on adding chapters (there are six in all, I think.) As I've said before, I already have the whole story planned out, so I'm not writing anymore chapters, but I do plan on a sequel.
