Disclaimers: I don't own Yugioh and that's final. If I did, yami and Yugi would be together, Marik wouldn't be such a bad guy, and Bakura would be bestfriends with Yami, Yugi, and Ryou.

Author's notes: Awe! guys! Thanks a lot for all your reviews! I love it all! I have nothing much to say except thank you for your reviews and I'm sorry for not updating for so long. Anyway, let the chapter start!

Chapter 15:

Bakura's POV

Hmm... the shadow realm huh? Well... he doesn't know who he's dealing with. Besides, anyone with the power of light would be weak in the shadow realm. Ryou is within the power of the light, so there's no way he will win this match.

"Well... what are you waiting for? Go on and attack me." I mocked. He just glared at me with anger presemt in his eyes. I heard him make a few incarnations. I smirked. "Hn. What are you trying to do? You can't defeat me. Nor can you fight me. You are of light and I am of dark. Light get's weaker in the area of the dark."

"I know that perfectly well. But..." He smirked. "Who said I would be the one to fight?" The ground suddenly shook hard. "What are you doing?!"

I gasped as I saw his eyes. Those eyes were not the gentle chocolate eyes that I saw before. They were tainted with red and black. I need to act fast. I made my own incarnations and a dragon zombie appeared in front of me.

I summoned a few more zombies and fiends since those were my specialties. I noticed that he didn't even flinch. he just stood there, smirking with the evil look on his face.

"Hn. Is that all you can do?" I heard him say. "It's my turn now. I now summon the Silfer the Sky Dragon!" He excalimed.

I smirked. He won't be able to control the Sky Dragon, I'm sure of it.

"Silfer! Attack him now!" I heard Ryou command, but the dragon didn't move a bit, just as I expected. I can see his shocked face. "W-what the..."

"Hn. You expect to control the Silfer in the shadow realm? Think again." With a flick of my fingers, the dragon disappeared. Ryou stood there with wide eyes, completely shocked at what happened.

"Summoning doesn't work when there's a parallel pattern of magic in the realm." I said. Ryou glared at me. "What do you mean?" "I mean... here in the shadow realm, when the power of light and the power of dark collided, when you summon, you would just be wasting your energy because the powers will collide and blow them up. It's practically useless." I said.

Normal...

"Then if you knew that, why did you summon?" Ryou asked in a mocking way. Bakura smirked. "It was just cover. Summoning them don't take that much of my power because they're just of the normal rank and the realm makes me stronger. While you, you of the light, is not for this. The realm will drain your energy and summoning the Sky Dragon will take much of your power and energy. Look. You can hardly even stand. As I can see, I am in an advantage."

"Then I guess we would fight the old fashion way, huh?" Ryou said as he made a stance, both this hands near his chest as he formed a ball of light. "Take this!"

Bakura managed to evade the attack effortlessly. The energy that Ryou released just made him weaker than ever.

Bakura laughed at him. "Pathetic light magician. Do you think that you can do anything against the power of the dark? Hn." Bakura made his own ball of light and threw it towards Ryou in which Ryou didn't evade.

It hit him square in the chest, knocking the wind out of him.

At Yugi and Yami's place...

"Yami! Something's wrong." Yugi said as he cuddled closer to Yami. Yami nodded. "You felt it too. The dark presence."

"What is it?" Yugi asked as he hugged Yami tighter. "It's the shadow realm, Yugi. Someone must be battling inside the shadow realm. Yugi, I'll go check it out. You go to Seto and the rest." Yami said.

Yugi nodded as the two of them went outside of Yugi's room.

Back at Ryou and Bakura's place...

Ryou shouted in agony as another blast hit him. Bakura's sinster laugh was ringing all over his ears. "Face it Ryou. You are fighting a losing battle."

"I won't give up on you Bakura! I won't!"

"We'll see about that."

Ryou's scream was heard again.

At Yugi's place he met up with Jou, Malik, and Seto on the hallway.

"Yug'! 'ave ya seein Yam'?!" Jou asked. Yugi nodded. "Yes. He was with me a while ago. Did you guys feel the strange power?" He asked.

Malik nodded. "Yes. The power is very sinster feeling. It's terrifying." Yugi nodded in agreement. "Come on. I can lead the way."

"How?" Seto asked. "With this." Yugi pointed his millenium puzzle. "It can lead me to where Yami is. Yami's going to the place where he felt the magic. Come on."

=Ryou's Place=

Ryou was currently covered in wounds and bruises. It was from a simple scratch to a very deep wound. He was actually lying on his own pool of blood.

"Give up Ryou." Bakura commanded. Ryou stood up weakly. "I... w-won't."

"The he! Will you just give up?!" Bakura excalimed. Ryou shook his head. "No."

"RYOU!"

Ryou suddenly found Yami panting. "What's going on here?!" Yami looked around and spotted Bakura and wounded Ryou. "Bakura! What is the meaning of this?!"

Bakura shrugged. "Sheesh. I was found out sooner than I thought."

"Over here!" Yugi's voice was heard. "Ryou! Man! What 'appen to ya?!" Jou excalimed as he helped Ryou up.

Bakura smirked evilly. "Well then Pharaoh Yami." The word 'pharaoh' came out from his lips like poison. "I think you would want to know that I and your precious tactician, Anzu, had been plotting to kill you and your little pet sometime now. And since we've been found out..."

Bakura looked sinsterly at Ryou. His eyes were full of lust.

"...I'm leaving for a while. Oh. And my dearest Ryou, I'm coming back for you okay?" With that, Bakura disappeared. Ryou fainted, making the whole realm disappear.

"So it's Ryou who summoned the realm." Seto said. Malik's hand glowed as he touched Ryou. "Malik, what are you doing?" Yugi asked.

"I have the power to see how much damage was done to Ryou... OH RA!" Malik crouched over to see if he's still alive.

"He's barely alive! A lot of broken bones, outer and internal wounds! Take him to a doctor! Quick!" Malik excalimed.

Seto hurriedly carried Ryou on his back and Malik, Jou, Yugi, and Yami followed behind. Yami's face was tainted with pure anger. "Bakura, one day you'll get the punishment that you deserve."

What they didn't know was the real trouble was just about to begin.
