Chapter Two - Spirits of the Ring

Yujhi opened his eyes slowly and looked around. "Where am I?" He thought. The whole area was dark, and cold. The last thing he remembered was finishing the Millennium Puzzle, a bright glow, and then he was here. He suddenly heard some shuffling behind him and jumped, turning around. "Who's there?" He asked the dark, getting nervous.

"There's no need to panic, I won't hurt you."

Yujhi jumped and looked behind him, meeting a pair of violet eyes. He turned around and looked at the person, both shocked, and confused. The person looked so much like him! It was almost like looking in a mirror. "Wh-Who are you?" He stuttered. Meeting a look-alike of himself in a dark, mysterious place didn't boost his spirits.

The person smiled. "My name is Yugi. I'm the spirit and guardian of the magic in the Millennium Puzzle."

"Spirit?" Yujhi looked at Yugi. He didn't look like a spirit. "Magic?"

Yugi nodded. "It's very complicated, but you will understand everything in time. I need to ask you something, and you have to answer. Are you the one who solved the Millennium Puzzle?" Yugi looked at him quizzically, but seriously. He didn't know why he was asking, he was pretty sure Yujhi was the person, but he had to be sure. He hoped he was wrong...

Yujhi shivered slightly, but decided just to answer his question. The faster he did so, the faster he could try and find a way out. "Yes." He tilted his head when Yugi sighed, sounding frustrated. "What?"

Yugi looked up and frowned. "Then the world is in danger once again." He said simply. "You don't need to know any more then what I've told you... at least not yet. Watch your back, with the Millennium Puzzle comes many responsibilities and dangers. Don't let anything or anyone separate you from it, you got that? It's up to you and me to save the world from whatever darkness ensues, but only time will tell us what to expect."

"What?! What do you mean save the world?!" Yujhi called, but the area had already erupted in a bright light. Before he knew it he felt himself being shaken awake. "Wha...?"

"Yujhi! You ok?"

Looking up in confusion, he saw Joe and Steve looking down on him. His mind was blank as he sat up and held his head. "What happened?"

"You past out." Steve explained. "What the heck happened just there?"

Yujhi looked over at his desk and saw the Millennium Puzzle. His eyes grew wide as he realised what he had seen and heard. He was about to tell the others when a voice came into his mind.

"Don't bother." Came Yugi's voice, though Yujhi couldn't tell where it was coming from. "They probably won't believe you. Just keep it to yourself, you can tell them, but not right now, ok?"

Yujhi didn't know how to agree, but he nodded a little. Great, now what? He had a ghost telling him he was going to have to save the world, and he had to try and hide it from his friends, who had seen the puzzle glow and had seen him pass out.

And to make things worse, he had no idea what the spirit was talking about! Darkness? What's that about? Yujhi couldn't save the world, he just knew it. He was just one person, just a normal kid.

Now what was he going to do?

Meanwhile...

-----------

The Millennium Ring had been watch over for years, until it was stolen. It was of no use to the thieves, but they couldn't melt it, no matter how hard they tried. Little did they know, that there was a battle inside the Ring at the very moment Yujhi solved the Millennium Puzzle.

It was unbelievable, Ryou couldn't believe Bakura had found another way out of the Shadow Realm. For five thousand years, Ryou was convinced Bakura was trapped forever in the Shadow Realm, but when the Millennium Puzzle, the strongest of all the Millennium Items, was solved, it left a short-lived weakness in the Millennium powers of the other six items. This was Bakura's perfect chance to return to the Millennium Ring.

But Ryou wouldn't let him return without a fight.

Ryou had mastered Shadow powers of his own, which had now led to a battle between the former hikari and yami. Green and blue blasts of magic rained at the two, Ryou backing away more then Bakura. Then again, Bakura had an amazing ten thousand years to practise.

Bakura grinned as he saw he had a clear shot. Releasing one final blast of magic, he sent Ryou flying through the air, but he was stopped as chains flew out of the ground and clasped onto Ryou's wrists and ankles, chain shortening until Ryou was pinned down. Bakura walked over and grinned, stepping on Ryou's stomach. Enjoying Ryou's pain, he whispered harshly, and tauntingly. "I warned you not to mess with the darkness..."

Oh ya! Bad boy Bakura is back!
Heehee, sorry ^^;; Whacha think? Not a great chappy, but I guess it didn't suck, I guess...
Look guys, I wanna say sorry. My writing's been getting worse and worse as it goes along, as well as shorter and shorter. I personally think I've probably lost the spark, I'm really disappointed with what I'm writing.
I know I only write because I enjoy it, but I hate thinking I'm letting peeps down with cruddy chappys, so sorry.
Ok... me's a dumbo, but hey, who cares ^^
Please review, and slán slán for now!
