The Shadow Realm was a really empty quiet place for 5,000 years. And for the past few days, it was no longer quiet.
"HIT ME!" Akito yelled, dancing around the empty space.
"EVIL SQUIRRELS!!" Kyo yelled, rocked back and forth.
"Where'd the children go?" Marik asked.
"Where's Squishy?" Bakura yelled. Yes, he's still looking for the cow plushie.
"Why am I stuck with you?" the King asked.
"Fuck off!" Akito killed and buried him. And forgot everything that had happened. She blinked at the grave and started wandering off. "So how do we get out of here?"
"Easy," Bakura concentrated on the powers of the Ring.
Nothing happened. He tried again. Nothing happened. And again. Nothing happened. And again…
"Bakura, the Ring is missing," Kyo pointed.
"What!" Bakura checked. Yep. "Oh....fuck."
"I'll do it," Marik concentrated.
Nothing happened. He tried again. Nothing happened. And again. Nothing happened. And again…
"Hey, Neko-chan! It's missing!" Akito pointed.
"What?" Marik checked. Yep. "How..."
"Where's Yami?" Kyo asked.
(Where Yami is)
Yami woke to find himself.....still at the farm. 'Where'd everyone go?' he wondered. 'Yami afraid of being alone.' And somehow, without him noticing, his Puzzle glowed.
(In the Shadow Realm)
"He's not here," Marik noted. "He probably dodged the attack. And only those with an Item can get out of the Shadow Realm."
"You mean to tell me that our only hopes of escape lies in the pharaoh's hands?" Bakura shook him.
"Um, yeah."
"Hey, maybe we should look for Tasuki!" Akito said, already walking away.
"WE'RE OFF TO SEE THE-!" Kyo was cut off by Bakura who had hit her with a stick.
**********************************
Hours later, Akito let out a yell. "Found her!"
Tasuki was wandering too. In circles. "Hey, where are we?"
"In the Shadow Realm," Bakura said. "And Yami is our only way out and he is still sugar high!"
"Oh."
"Hey! There's Inu-Yasha!" Kyo pointed across the huge area which had herds of cows, little children (which Tasuki began to suck her thumb), squirrels, flying monkeys, cheese, ice cream, Barbies, Hot Wheel cars, the 'goddess' from the last encounter, sticks, the acorns, trees, burning trees, sandwiches, several slot machines from Las Vegas, the blackjack table, the cards, the chips, the cue stick which Bakura had whacked Marik with…
Inu-Yasha was walking around, trying to sell cookies. He went up to the cue stick, which was leaning on a tree. A few moments passed before he started to yell at it.
"I'm telling you they are meant to be sold for one hundred dollars! I'm offering a bargain at ninety-nine dollars and ninety-nine cents!! And these are homemade cookies damnit!!!!" he shouted.
The stick remained as a stick. Inu-Yasha screamed, "DAAAMMMMNNN YOOOUUUU!!!!!" He took out a marker and started to draw on the stick. When he was finished, the stick was covered with words and funny designs.
"HA!" he said.
"Hi Inu-Yasha!!" Akito said happily. She went to the stick and shouted," You a bad stick!! I'm glad Neko-chan sent you here, Mr. Stick!"
"Yo! Inu-Yasha! How'd you get here?" Tasuki asked.
"Well, you see, it started when..."
{{[[Flashback]]}}
"Hey, do you want cookies?" Inu-Yasha asked.
Yami blinked. "Okay!" After buying a lot from him (he charged $99.99) and eating thoughtfully, he went to sugar mode again and the Puzzle glowed, accidentally sending Inu-Yasha to the Shadow Realm.
{{[[End Flashback]]}}
Marik shook his head. "So that's where Yami gets his sugar from."
"And I swear I'm going to get my revenge!" Inu-Yasha said. "He only paid me ninety nine cents!"
Everyone but Bakura and Marik gasped in horror. Akito clung to Bakura, whimpering. Tasuki gasped and sat on Marik's shoe. Kyo hugged the cue stick.
Inu-Yasha agreed. "Yes, it is a true tragedy." He looked up. "I'LL GET YOU YAMI!!!!" he shouted, shaking his fist at the sky.
