Kahtiihma: I know, I love the idea too!

October Dragon: Hey! Thanks for reviewing this story! And it can be Yuugi or Yugi. I think the double u is Japanese or something…Anyway, either one, it's pretty much the same. I mean, compare Anzu and Tea! Or Tristen and Honda! And don't get me started on Ryuuji Otogi/ Duke Devlin!

Anyways, thanks guys and enjoy!

When The Light Goes Out

Chapter 2

Yuugi descended the stairs and entered the living room where his friends were waiting for him. Anzu, Honda, Jou, and Yami cast anxious looks over at the shorter boy. Finally, the lone female broke the silence. "How is he Yuugi?"

Yuugi turned to Anzu and said, "I think Bakura brainwashed Ryou or something. Ryou's getting very defensive of him, claiming that Bakura was his 'best friend' and such things. Still, I think you were a little harsh on Bakura, Yami."

The Pharaoh turned a questioning look towards Yuugi. "Why? He physically assaulted Ryou and deserved to go to the Shadow Realm. Frankly, I think I went easy on the Tomb Thief."

Yuugi sighed. "But the damage it's doing to Ryou is very painful. After all, it was his other half, his alter ego."

Yami sighed. "Well, can't change the past now, can I? No, Ryou will get over it with time. Trust me."

Jou looked at the clock. "Guys, I think maybe we should go, leave Ryou to himself for a bit. I doubt he wants our company."

"Yeah, Jou's right. Let's go."

~*~*~*~

Ryou sat by himself in his room, still crouched in the same position as when Yuugi had come in. They called up to him, said goodbye, and Ryou responded as politely as he could, considering he desperately wanted revenge on them all.

Ryou reached into his pocket and removed a round sphere. It was the Millenium Eye, the Item Pegasus owned before Ryou's yami Bakura had taken it. Bakura had never made much use of it, but its Shadow Magic would really come in handy now. And its special ability to steal souls and put them into cards would work really well. Yes, Ryou really relished the thought of revenge.

~*~*~*~

Anzu was walking home peacefully, after having an excellent day at the mall with Mai. The events of yesterday had flown out of her thick skull and so she didn't remember that Bakura at first was gone. Maybe that's why, when she saw the angry face of the white haired teen she said, "Hi Bakura! Why such a long face?"

"Bakura is gone, you bimbo," Ryou said through gritted teeth. "And now, you and your friends will pay!"

Suddenly, Domino had disappeared, and instead Ryou and Anzu were standing in a kind of nothing place.

"Where are we?" Anzu asked, frightened.

"We are in the Shadow Realm, where we will play a Shadow Game. Sound fun Anzu? I hope you like games, because this one is a battle for your soul!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I thought I'd leave you all hanging! So, how do you like so far? I really look forward to next chapter, where Anzu becomes Ryou's first victim! Hehehe! Review in the meantime!
