Chapter 2
Yugi's dreams that night were filled with the approaching darkness. Yugi saw Bakura taunting Yami, who was in a cage and. . .solid. There was a fierce look of rage in his eyes. Yugi wondered what had made him so mad. Hw certainly would not loose his cool just for being in the cage. Tea, Tristan, Joey, and Ryou were also in another cage beside Yami's. It made Yugi completely confused to see Ryou and Bakura with two separate bodies and to see Yami solid because Yugi had a feeling that Yami was not sharing his body once he saw Bakura and Ryou separated.
Then Yugi was no longer in a cavern-like place, but the dreaded Shadow Realm. Yugi was lying on the ground on his side when out of nowhere a shadow hand appeared, reaching out to grab Yugi. It pulled him into the darkness and. . .Yugi sat bolt upright in bed and found himself in a cold sweat and shaking.
Yami, sensing his distress came out of the puzzle and sat on the edge of the bed. "Are you all right, aibou?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Came Yugi's reply from his bed. "I just had a bad dream, that's all."
"Ok." Yami looked at the alarm clock and said, "It's time for you to get up and get ready for school anyways."
"Thanks." Yugi got up and began to dress in his usual school uniform. Then he turned around and saw Yami still sitting on the bed, deep in thought. The bright morning sun was shinning through the window and lit up half of Yami's face. The other half was in shadow, which reminded Yugi of their bond. Yugi was the light half while Yami was the dark, yet both looked almost exactly alike. "What's wrong" Yugi asked his darker self.
"I'm just trying to find connections."
"Between what?"
Between what you and I have each been feeling."
Yugi's face suddenly held a confused look. "You never said you were feeling anything, Yami."
"Yes, well, I wasn't really sure what I was feeling until you described what you felt."
"So what do you think it is?" Yugi sat in front of Yami on the bed and it sunk a few inches under his weight.
"It kind of feels like being in the Shadow Realm, but it's also like the power of the Shadow Realm contained inside of something in this realm."
Yugi was puzzled, "How does it feel like that?"
Yami shook his head, "It's too hard to explain."
They sat there in silence for a few minutes, each lost in their own thoughts, when Yami finally asked, "Are you ready for school?"
"Oh, yeah! I forgot!" exclaimed Yugi then ran into the bathroom.
A little while later Tea came to pick him up and he left for school with his childhood friend. Once they got there and met up with Tristan and Joey.
Yugi started to say, "There's something I want to tell. . ." but right at that moment the bell rang and they all went to their class, so Yugi said, "Tell ya later."
Joey winked at him and they found their seats and sat down.

Pegasus looked out at his island of Duelist Kingdom and went over the things he had thought of to say to Bakura once he found him. After a few moments of contemplating his meeting he walked back inside his chambers. He sat down on the edge of his bed, which had dark blue sheets, and picked up the leaden box that contained the Black Crystal. He traced his fingers around the edges of the box, then flipped open the lid. The Crystal radiated with a dark aura that swirled through the room and around Pegasus. He picked it up and saw the light reflected off its glassy surface. Like he had the night before, Pegasus felt Yugi-boy through this precious object called the Black Crystal.
He twiddled it in his fingers and thought about the situation. The more he played with the crystal and toyed with Yugi-boy, the more suspicious the boy would be. Pegasus put the Black Crystal back inside its box. Now was not the time for Yugi to be suspicious. He closed the box and put it in his overcoat pocket. Then he left the beautifully decorated room that he called his own and went to the top of the tallest tower in his castle, to wait for the helicopter that was supposed to pick him up and take him to see Bakura
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yugi sat in class, not really listening to his history teacher, Mrs. Kerri, but instead thinking if he really should tell his friends about what was going on with him. He didn't want them to worry about him especially if it really was not anything at all. Well, he hadn't been paying attention to his teacher until she asked him a question.
(A/N- Ok, I doubt this is the correct procedure when answering a question in Japan, but play along.) Yugi stood up to answer the question only to feel a sharp pain in his forehead and an approaching darkness. He collapsed back into his desk and his head fell forward onto his arm. His vision darkened and he was only dimly aware that everyone was staring at him, his friends were standing up beside their seats, and almost everyone was whispering, "Is he ok?" or "What's wrong with him?"
When he was finally able to see again and the pain had diminished, he stood back up and told everybody he was fine, but saw that his friends and teacher didn't believe him. All their faces held worried expressions. Yugi was glad he knew the answer, so he told them and sat back down.
"Mr. Mutou, if you do that again or feel bad you have my permission and command to go see the nurse."
Yugi nodded and sighed; now he would have to tell his friends what was going on.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Pegasus was just a little but early so he stood by the school where his rented limo had dropped him off; Kemo stood with him ready to signal the limo to come pick them up. (A/N- Kind of sounds like Kaiba, what with the chopper and limo. Selina: That's why it's rented. He never leaves his island. Serafina: Never? Selina: ok, almost never. Serafina: That's better.)
Kemo and Pegasus stood talking quietly by a back corner of the school; they stood just right so they were shielded by some trees so no one could see them. Ryou finally came out with his four friends: Yugi Mutou, Tea Gardner, Tristan Taylor, and Joey Wheeler. Kemo wanted to jump out of their cover and grab the squirt, but Pegasus held him back, so the scheme he was planning would not be brought into the light. . .yet.
Kemo wondered how they were going to talk to Bakura so he asked, "Then how are we going to talk to the kid?"
Pegasus rolled his eyes and said, "He will come to us. Ryou is not really a part of my plan as you know, but we need Bakura. Bakura will sense my still lingering power and the Black Crystal. He will force Ryou to come over here."
Kemo didn't really understand all this magic stuff, but he nodded anyway, then turned around to watch the five teens. He saw Ryou stop walking and was close enough to hear Yugi ask, "What's wrong, Ryou?" He saw Ryou shake his head and say, "I just remembered something. You guys go ahead. I'll see you later."
"Ok, bye," his friends waved as he ran back into the school.
As soon as the four runts had wondered off, Bakura came back out of the school and came right to where they were hiding. "Ah, I thought I sensed something over here," he said as he approached.
"Yes, we were waiting for you," Pegasus told him smugly with his arms crossed over his chest.
"What were you waiting for me for?" he asked looking slightly appalled and perturbed at the idea that Pegasus would be waiting for him especially.
A/N- Well? Tell me what'cha thought in a review. Yes, I am still excited about this fic, sooo, REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! ^_^
