DSlifer: I personally think that I might like this story more than my first story. I think it's because I don't have to stick with Yugi and his friends' proper behavior. Not much to say just read this chapter.

Chapter 3: The Millennium Ring and its Spirit

Yan stood upon a short and narrow hall. Two doorways appeared in front of him, one on his right side and the other on his left. Both doors are closed yet the one on his left appeared warm and inviting, while the right one is cold and emits an aura of danger.
Yan wondered nervously what is happening and how he appeared in this mysterious and lonely place. He remembered that as soon as he put on the Millennium Ring, a sudden darkness covered everything including him. He entered the door to his left first and he discovered a large room filled with everything he owned and also most of everything he wanted. "Wow! Amazing! I don't know how I got here, but I starting to think it might not be that bad." Yan continues to examine the different items in the room.

>---------------------------------------------------------- >

Later, Yan goes to enter the other door. Curiously though, this room could be called the opposite of the previous room. This room was very dim with a dense fog flowing from every direction. Tombstones are seen around him, all appearing nameless. The walls contain carvings showing Duel Monsters. Yan noticed that all the monsters were creatures from nightmares. "What is this place? How did I get here? And what kind of person would live in this place?" asks Yan. "I could answer all those questions... And Much More!" Yan looks around, searching for the person who had just spoken. A dark shadow from behind him starts laughing evilly.
Yan turns around fast and sees a boy around his age looking a little like himself, though only with a few slight differences. "Who are you"
The strange boy stops laughing and starts smiling sinisterly. "You asked before who lives here. Let me tell you, I live here! This is my Soul Room"
"Soul Room"
"Yes...!" His eyes start glowing darkly. "A room that represents the real you"
Hearing this, Yan thinks to himself, if what he says is true, then the previous room must be my Soul Room. Does this mean, I care only for fun and games? "So who are you and how did I get here"
"To answer your second question, I summoned you here when I sensed you have put on the Millennium Ring. And to answer your first question... I am the Spirit of this Ring. I lived in Egypt, back a couple of Millennia's. I'm known as what you would call a 'Grave Robber'. I acquired the Millennium Ring during one of my previous 'jobs' and had become very experienced in its magic"
"This Ring... it really has magic"
"Don't interrupt if you want to know answers! Anyway, I have learned that one could obtain unimaginable power if they obtained all the Millennium Items. Knowing this I attempted to 'obtain' the rest of the items, from time to time, from host to host"
"So what do I call you? You do have a name, right"
"My real name has been lost for nearly an eternity. But you may call me Bakura. A name I adopted from my previous host. But at other times I could be known as your dark side... your Yami!" "Wait! Does that mea"
"Enough! It's time you returned."

>---------------------------------------------------------- >

Yan woke up and got up from the floor. He looked around him and noticed that he's still inside his room. "What happened? Where did that weird room with that crazy guy who looked like me go? Was it all just a dream"
Yan went downstairs to make something to eat. He saw a note on the table. After reading the letter he realized that his mom had gone out. He sat down as he thought back on what had happened to him while he was 'dreaming'. Remembering the spirit, Yan thinks about what Shadi had told him. 'Take care not to be manipulated or controlled by the Spirit in your Ring'. "What harm could a spirit do to me? Why should I even have to be worried about him? After all, his just a spirit; he can't harm me at all."

>---------------------------------------------------------- >

Later in the night, after Yan's father had came back from work, Yan's mother still hadn't come back home. "What could be taking her so long?" asks Yan. "Don't worry about it, Yan," replies Yan's father. "Her job needs her to go almost everywhere. She's probably just working extra late right now"
Yan attempts to be relaxed from his father's words, but something still bothers him. After he thought about it, he concluded that it must result from the fact that his father had not believed his own words.

>---------------------------------------------------------- >

A bit after midnight, after Yan had fallen asleep, his Millennium Ring started to glow. A bright golden flash emitted from the Item, and Yan awakened. Unlike the Yan from before, this one had a few differences that would not had been spotted unless they were searched for them. Yan's eyes and hair were a different shape. And Yan also had a strange dark aura that surrounded him.
"Fool! He wonders how much harm a spirit could do to him." Yan stands up and walks over to his desk. "I would give my host a little punishment for being so stupid, but I can't reveal the fact that I can possess him... at least not yet." Yan cackled evilly.
He walked around the room as he observed and judged his surroundings. "Not that bad a place I got here." He noticed Yan's deck beside the bed. "Well, well, what do we have here? A little amateur's deck." He looked through the deck and seemed pleased. "Not that bad of a deck, but a little too much light types for me." He takes away the Moisture Creature and Airknight Parshath from the deck. "He doesn't need this." He takes out 2 cards out of midair. "But this, this is something I like! It's a shame Pegasus never created this card, but that doesn't matter, I'll just create my own." He revealed a Dark Necrofear and another card. This other card was a monster card called 'Resurrected Demon'. It had 2900 attack and 1500 defense. It has 5 effects and the first effect is that it could be special summoned by removing 2 Dark type monsters from the graveyard out of play. Second effect is that it could only be normal summoned by sacrificing 3 monsters. Third effect is that if the owner sends monster from his hand or field into the graveyard, the owner can copy the card's effect for one turn.Fourth effect is that if the owner sends 1 Light monster from his hand or field into the graveyard, the owner can gain LP equal to the discarded monster's attack points. Fifth Effect is that if the owner sends a Dark monster from his hand or field into the graveyard, the owner can deal direct damage to the opponents LP equal to the discarded monster's attack points. Also only 1 effect could be activated per turn. Yan puts the card into the deck, and smiled savagely. "With this card in his deck, it would be like having a living nightmare within him. And that's not so far from the truth!" He laughed evilly, as the bright golden flash appeared again, and Yan fell onto the floor.

DSlifer: I know this chapter is short so forgive me. I think I might have been confused on saying that the spirit had another host other than Bakura. I'm not sure if that's true, so bare with me, and ignore that little mistake if it is a mistake. Also could any body please send me some reviews? And does would anyone send me ideas for cards which you have made up? Personally I have a few, yet I want some more ideas from you people, so I could put into the decks of future duelists in my story.
