"This is talking"
'These are thoughts'
Yujhi held the puzzle tight as he looked at Ryoura. His friend was different. His hairstyle was slightly spikier, and his eyes were harsh. What was going on?
Bakura grinned at the sixteen-year-old standing in front of him. He clearly had no idea what was going on. Perfect... Raising his hand slowly, palm facing upwards, an orb of green magic appeared, burning with a bright, powerful glow. His smirk widened at the expression of fear on his targets face. This should be easy.
"If you wont give it by choice, I'll have to take it by force." Bakura announced, throwing the magic forward towards Yujhi.
From within the Millennium Puzzle, Yugi awoke suddenly. The sense of dark magic... shadow magic... it was stronger then ever. He instantly knew his hikari was in trouble, and decided to take action.
A bright glow erupted from the Millennium Puzzle, blinding Bakura temporarily. Yugi thought he could have held off the attack, but because it was launched at a close range it had caught him off guard. Struggling to keep his balance, he raised his hand as a burst of red magic appeared, his violet eyes tinged with red as he glared at his enemy.
Bakura was surprised. No mere mortal could take the blow of a Millennium Item and stayed standing. Unless... "No..." Bakura growled. That shrimp Yugi had somehow found a way into the Millennium Puzzle! He thought he was rid of that pest and his pathetic friends.
He looked at the boy now standing in front of him. He didn't look entirely like himself when he fused, his golden bangs coloured both blond and black, while black lightning shapes rain through the slightly red tinged pink in his hair. His once deep violet eyes were tinged with red, making him slightly more threatening, and he'd lost some of the compassion in his eyes. Yugi was different... this time around, he was not going to hold back once punishment was needed. "We meet again..." Bakura whispered, but loud enough for Yugi to here.
Raising an eyebrow, but keeping his guard up, Yugi responded. "We've never met. Back off!" As he yelled, the magic in his hand seemed to intensify in strength. He didn't care who this guy was, he'd tried to attack Yujhi, and for that Yugi didn't trust him in the slightest.
"He doesn't remember?" Bakura was surprised, and a little insulted. This kid had forgotten him. Bakura! The most evil person in the world! Well... at least in his opinion. No time for that. All he wanted was the Millennium Puzzle. Quickly drawing Ryoura's deck from his pocket, he shuffled through and summoned a monster. "Summoned Skull!"
The Summoned Skull appeared beside its master as the ground erupted in darkness, crawling up around them. Yugi took one glance at the surroundings of the Shadow Realm, but was unfazed. He drew his own deck and drew a card. If he couldn't beat the monster, he could at least match its strength. "Dark Magician!" The ever-loyal Dark Magician rose from the darkness in front of his master.
"I've got to try something else, his Summoned Skull is to powerful to beat with the help of a magic card..." These thoughts raced through his mind like instant, rather then his actually thoughts. He looked quickly through his deck as he spoke to Yujhi. "Do you have any magic cards that could power up the Dark Magician?"
Slightly confused, but determined to help, Yujhi answered. "I think I have some sort of field magic card that could help."
Just as Yujhi said this, Yugi found it. Pulling out the card he held it high above him. "I play the field card, Yami!" Yugi blinked in surprises as complete darkness erupted from the card. Why did the cards name sound so familiar? It was weird. "Yami..." He thought to himself in confusion. He didn't even realise that Bakura had activated a De-Spell card when the Dark Magician attacked, destroying both monsters in a stalemate.
"Yugi look out!"
"Huh?" Yugi snapped back into his train of thought at the sound of Yujhi's voice, and noticed a Dark Blade charging towards him. Within the mere few seconds it took the monster to reach him, Yugi had forced Yujhi to his soul room so he had complete control. The monsters sword slashed out at him, slicing the side of his arm. It gasped and collapsed to one knee, gripping his arm tightly.
"Stay there!" Yugi yelled at him, but closed his eyes tight in pain. If Yujhi came out, he would also be hurt, and that's the last thing Yugi wanted. "It's not safe..."
"But Yugi-"
"Please!" Yugi yelled against, but it was more difficult this time. "Just... stay there..." Yugi could tell Yujhi was reluctant, but he agreed to do so. He also knew that, if Yujhi knew that at that moment he was being attacked, receiving punches and blows from a monster three times his height, he wouldn't have agreed.
Yugi couldn't answer. He was aching all over from the blows he had already received. Though Bakura couldn't see it, he was slowly powering up a magical attack. When it was ready, he didn't hold back, he shot it forward as Bakura, striking him close range in the stomach and sending him flying back. He couldn't waste any time, he drew another card and called forth Curse of Dragon, which quickly destroyed Bakura's Dark Blade.
His eyes scanned the area, but Yugi could see no sign of Bakura anywhere. Where was he? He caught something out of the corner of his eyes, but before he could do anything, Bakura had his arm around Yugi's neck. It was hard to breath, but he tried to get free by kicking Bakura. Needless to say it didn't work.
A proud smirk on his face, Bakura whispered harshly in Yugi's ear. "Your puzzle is mine..." and reached down, gripping the puzzle tightly.
Yugi kicked harder, but it was hard enough for him to breath. He looked down and his eyes widened as the puzzle was pulled off from around his neck. "No!" Was all he could yell before he felt himself being forced back into the Millennium Puzzle, back to the darkness of his soul room.
Bakura dropped Yujhi's limp form to the ground and grinned at the Puzzle. "I may not be able to use the powers yet, but this will give me time to plan how to destroy him. Maybe I'll take a leaf from Marik's book and make him duel without his yami. And who's to say Yugi can miss out on a little torture?" He looked down at Yujhi as the Shadow Realm slowly evaporated around him, and grinned, turning away.
"Yu-gi..."
Looking back but not stopping, Bakura grinned at Yujhi as he struggled to his hands and knees, but collapsed. "We'll meet again little boy, you can be sure of that..."
