Chapter 4: Riddles in the Dark and the First of Sesshomaru's Spies
Darkness.
Yes, it is defiantly darkness that I sense.
The darkness does not scare me anymore; not like it used to.
It no longer scares me because if him.
He broke my fear of darkness.
But . . . he's not here anymore.
If he's not here, where does the darkness come from?
Ryou stirred in his sleep. Little bits of the battle he just had with Miroku had over-whelmed his dreams when he had fallen asleep. He no longer needed to worry about the monk with the Millennium Ring safely back around his neck. But now a new twist was added to his already bizarre week.
It had been faint, but he could defiantly sense a dark presence nearby. Not his yami, for sure. If it had been the tomb robber, the dark energy would have been more powerful. Plus, Shadow Magic would be blasting every which way. Bakura had always liked to make his presence known. But not this darkness. It was almost like this darkness was trying very hard to conceal itself.
But that wasn't going to last long. Whatever was generating that darkness was about to be made known to the others. Ryou, now fully awake, reached out with a tendril of Shadow Magic to grasp hold of the other. Ryou felt a warm sensation in the back of his mind and knew he found it. From under his blue haori, the Millennium Ring glowed and danced as Ryou's own Shadow Magic forcefully increased the darkness's presence.
One by one, each member of the group woke up to the shockwave of darkness. The girl, Kagome, had sprung to her feet and placed and notched an arrow on the bow she had been carrying. The other girl, whom Ryou guess had been the Sango Kagome had been talking about when he first saw her and Inuyasha at the temple, was wide awake and out of the dress she had been wearing earlier.
Sango was now garbed in tight black lizard like scale armor with pink padding. A super large boomerang was slung over her back, almost as if she was ready to throw it. The thing looked like it weighed over a bazillion pounds so it was a complete mystery how someone as small as Sango could lift it.
Lastly, Inuyasha had jumped down from his sleeping position in the tree and into the camp. He quickly withdrew the sword he had at his side to have it transform into a rather large Falchion Blade. Even though it was a kitana before, Ryou didn't want to question its magic at the moment.
"Alright, where is it." Inuyasha almost snarled. His eyes were shifting back and forth, trying to find the source of the new dark energy. Just like the dark-matter hand that dissolve the fire, five more emerged from the surrounding forests to confront each member of the group. "Now its time for some action."
Inuyasha raised his sword over his head and swung full strength in an attempt to level the dark hand. The hand moved at the last second and caught the blade of the falchion within its claws. Dark lightning pulsed through Inuyasha's body as it drained the half-demon's strength.
The black cloaked figure, invisible to his pray, smirked.
"Whatever these things are, they aren't going to last for long. Hirakotsu!" She whipped her boomerang over hear head and at the dark hand with amazing strength. The dark hand that was the boomerang's target warped into a shield and launched the boomerang back at Sango with twice the force.
The older girl was able to dodge the volley of her weapon, but just barely. The end of the boomerang had nipped Sango's side followed by a slight ripping sound. Sango was on the ground clutching her side as a small spring of blood began to form.
Kagome drew back her first arrow and let fly. Purifying energy pulsed through the arrow as it shredded several of the hands on its flight. But with every destroyed hand, two took its place.
"Kagome, what's going on? What are these things?" Ryou lashed out with a bit of his own Shadow Magic at a few of the hands. The darkness that fueled them was absorbed and used in the next attack against another oncoming hand.
"I don't know. Whatever they want they're determined to get it." Kagome strung another arrow and shot it into a large group of hands. The arrow stuck into the ground, vaporizing all the hands in the immediate area. "I don't know how much long I can hold them off. I'm running out of arrows."
Kagome drew one of her last arrows and fired it at a rather large hand in the back of the approaching swarm. The hand disintegrated into balls of pink light, like the rest before it, before screaming.
The larger hand was just and illusion to hide the black cloaked figure's position. The arrow hadn't hit him, but the purifying aura that the arrow possessed had nicked his shoulder. The figure clutched its shoulder as the purification power burned through the figure's flesh.
"There!" Ryou shouted, pointing at the wounded master of the dark hands. Kagome slung another arrow and aimed for fire.
There was no more time to play with the pray. The figure's eyes flashed an even deeper red as a dark hand grabbed Ryou from behind. It clenched hard, almost to the point of crushing Ryou's ribs. The hand lifted Ryou off the ground before dissolving into the dirt, carrying Ryou along with it.
"Ryou!" Kagome screamed. The rest of the hands fled in a similar manner, leaving just her and the controller of the hands in the clearing. "Alright you! What have you done with Ryou?" With the figure's face now somewhat exposed, it smirked before vanishing just like the rest of the hands had.
In the grip of the dark hand, Ryou struggled to escape. His Shadow Magic seemed useless against the darkness now. Whoever was controlling the hands must have made them weak on purpose. To make them think they had the upper hand over the shadow hands. But Ryou didn't care how strong the hands were. Wave after wave of Shadow Magic had been blasted at the clawed shadow hand without effect.
Within the darkness on the unfamiliar forest where the hand had taken him, a cold laugh was resonating. The very sound made chills run up and down his spine and turned the air cold. Many a time had Ryou faced a more powerful darkness, but he had always expected it. Now, with Bakura gone, Ryou had begun to forget the chill of encroaching darkness.
The chilling laughter came from a figure that appeared in the clearing much like Ryou had. It was a large hulking figure of a man. Dark black hair was spiked and laced out in all directions. Eyes as dark as blood stared Ryou down to increase the already heavy feeling of dread.
"So, this is the mortal whom my master as found intriguing. Didn't put up much of a fight, I wonder what my master sees in this boy." The voice was low and raspy. The hand released its grip on Ryou, causing the boy to tumble to the ground. Ryou lifted his head to look at his captor. The boy's eyes dilated in shock.
"Panic." Was all Ryou could mutter. He didn't' know how nor wanted to care why, but the dark duelist from Duelist Kingdom, Pegasus's most psychotic Eliminator; Panic was standing before him. But besides the obvious similarity in looks, there were some differences. The most obvious was that this Panic was even more evil looking then the last. It seemed as though this Panic was created entirely out of dark energy.
"It does not matter to me why my master wants you, child. But you are coming with me!" A dark aurora surrounded the Panic look-alike as several more shadow hands emerged from the ground and grabbed at Ryou.
The Millennium Ring sprang to life, flashing gold and white. With the added power of his Millennium Item, Ryou leapt into the air a good seventeen feet and landed near the edge of the forest clearing.
"I don't care who your master is, you're not going to take me without a fight." Ryou stated a bit too bravely. Not only was he dealing with an unknown foe, without his yami, Ryou couldn't unlock the full potential of the Millennium Ring to cast whoever this monster was to the Shadow Realm.
"I was told to expect this so I decided to bring along a trick of my own." A dark barrio materialized around the clearing, locking Ryou in. The ground beneath them began to upturn with the rising of zombies form the ground. Rotted and dried brown skin covered muddy skeletons in clumps eye sockets with small traces of the eyes that once inhabited them stared at Ryou.
The undead that crawled from the ground clung to Ryou's kimono, smothering any hope of running. For undead, the zombies were ruthlessly strong. 'How do I get free? These zombies have twice the strength of an ox. If only there were some way of destroying them, but my own shadow magic couldn't even destroy one of the hands. Come on, Ryou. Think! Wait a minute, why dose this seem so familiar?'
Flashback
Yugi was sitting in the living room of his house explaining some of the lesser known things he had faced since obtaining the Millennium Puzzle. The entire reason for Ryou to be over there was to 'listen' to Yugi rant about how every bad guy in the universe was after his puzzle.
". . . and even though Shadi is good now, he forced me into a Shadow Game once to try and discover Yami's true powers. He put me through three stages of a shadow game to test the strength of my heart. The first one was an illusion of zombie-like monsters and the only way I could win was to figure out that the zombies really were. It took a while, but Yami was able to figure out that they were only our shadow."
End Flashback
'That's it! These monsters are exactly like Yugi's Shadow Game with Shadi. Now that I know the answer I can defeat these illusions.'
Ryou's expression changed from one of complete and total loss of hope to a confident smirk. It started the Panic look-alike to see that Ryou had even begun to laugh! "Why are you laughing? Your about to become devoured by my undead zombies! You should be terrified."
"Tell me, then." Ryou smirked. "Why should I be afraid of my own shadow?" The wind picked up, even with the barrier of darkness surrounding them. And just like the sands of Egypt, the illusion of zombies began to dissolve in the wind.
Now it was the Panic look-alike's turn to look terrified and shocked. "How is that possible?! How were you able to be rid of my shadow zombies?! Only I can dismiss them."
"Oh, it's quite obvious." Ryou replied. "You shadow thrive on the fear of your victims. But when I figured out their true nature, I no longer became afraid of them. With nothing left to draw strength from, your shadow were nothing more then sand in a breeze."
"How dare you, you insolent mortal! I underestimated you the first time, but no this time. This time you face a monster that even darkness fears!" Panic look-alike let out a maniacal laughter. A vortex, much like a gateway to the Shadow Realm opened up behind Ryou. From out of the darkness shown two red eyes. ('Note to self: Red eyes means evil!' Ryou though.) But his was no ordinary monster. Claws like razors lanced out from the vortex, each one grabbing Ryou by an arm. The beast was a Spiral Dragon. "This is Reikon Taishokukan. And he shall be your demise, mortal!"
"Reikon Taishokukan? Oh no! That name means Great Soul Eater!"
"That's right, mortal. And once my shadow dragon's teeth pierce your flesh, you will no longer belong to this world!" The dragon stared down at Ryou while he tried to squirm out of the dragon's unbreakable grip. A look of hunger shown in the dragon's eyes and it wanted to feed
'This dragon's gonna eat me alive if I don't figure out a way to get out of here. But the same thing also happened to Yugi in his Shadow game with Shadi. Since Yugi's answer got me out of the first one, maybe his second victory will get me out of this one! If I can only remember what he said.'
Flashback
"In the second part of our Shadow Game was when Shadi called upon a crocodile beast call Aamet." Yugi continued on his rant. "Shadi had said that it would eat my soul if I didn't solve the stage's riddle. It was something along the lines of having nine tiles with a picture on the flip side. But since there were nine, I could only guess what the ninth tile was. The only clue to figuring out what the ninth tile was that the tiles were a mirror of Aamet. And since it only had only one thing that was visible, the answer was the monster's mouth."
End Flashback
'Yugi, you better hope this works! Cause if it doesn't, you're going to have my yami to deal with.' Ryou took a deep breath in, hoping his answer would dispel the beast that was about to devour him. HE had a strong feeling it was going to work, but if it didn't, Ryou was gonna lose much more then the opportunity to go home. "Reikon Taishokukan has only one mouth!"
The ever tightening grip on Ryou's arms loosened allowing blood to circulate again, but more importantly, it meant that Great Soul Eater had been dispelled just like the first illusion. Ryou could instantly feel his blood pressure drop as his heart rate turned to normal 'Well I guess going over to Yugi's house to listen to his rants wasn't a bad idea after all, not that it was my idea in the first place.'
"You disgusting vermin, how are you doing it?! You dispel my first illusion and I grant you could have had the power to do so, but how is it possible that you could have dispelled my dragon, it just doesn't make sense!" Shadow Panic was almost on his knees, it had its head in its hands and its eyes wide. It was obvious that this had never happened before. If someone had been able to be rid of the first illusion, no one was supposed to get past the second.
Ryou took his second to catch his breath. He dropped to his knees and sat on the grass. The plants were bit wet which meant that the sun must have been coming up about now, but with the shadow barrier around them, it still looked like night.
Shadow Panic began to laugh. "I see now." This caught Ryou's attention. He looked up at the Panic-copy. "You have experience power like this before and you are not afraid of it. It seems you fear almost nothing and that's what my master sees in you, mortal. But, the thing you do fear will bring you to your knees. Seeing the fear in your eyes when e first met, you looked as if you saw someone you know. Someone who had control over the shadows because this person WAS the shadows."
Like all the shadow hands and the zombies had raised from the ground, so did one last illusion. It was garbed in a kimono of the deepest reds and black. A mane of white hair was covering half the figure's face while it fell past its neck. "So, my pathetic vessel it is giving you a hard time? Have to resort to calling me to finish the job?" All life drained from Ryou's face. There was only one person in all of time who talked like that. The only person who Ryou feared. The figure lifted his head to reveal sharp, menacing eyes. The dark brown, almost black of them once again made Ryou tremble.
"That's right my worthless haikari. Bakura is back!"
Xero: I got the idea for this chapter from Yu-Gi-Oh Manga Vol. 3. If I mistranslated Great Soul Eater, you can either tell me or deal with it. Ja Ne!
