***************************************************************************

Once inside the museum the gang went straight to the hall where the amulet was presented...

" I didn't know this place was so big " ; Tristan said while they walked passed a hall full with devices witch they used to play Duell Monsters with in the old days.

Yugi ; " Well we can see the rest later today , we've got al the time in the world and the museum isn't going to close soon so... "

But before Yugi could finish his sentence....

" There it is ! "

They entered a white hall with in the middle of it the Amulet. The amulet was surrounded by a glass box , around it stood al kind of artefacts and stones covered with ancient drawings of Duell Monsters and scripts.

The rest walked up to the amulet.

Joey ; " This thing looks cool... "

" This translation of the scrolls says that there was an ancient power in that amulet self " ; Téa started to tell while reading the translation. " It was given by Anubis to the shadowed one , if he would tough the amulet , it would be activated and he would be able to destroy the world with it's power... "

" And now it's giving me the creeps... " ; Joey interrupted.

" Wait there's more... It also says that a pharaoh stopped it from happening with the use of the power of friendship... "

Bakura didn't really listen to what Téa said he was now starring at the amulet with gaze...

Tristan ; " Well , if we want to see the rest of the museum I'd think we'd better go. "

Joey ; " I'd do everything to get away from this creepy thing... "

" Are you coming , Bakura ? " ; Yugi asked his friend who was still staring at the amulet.

" You guys go ahead ill catch up in a minit. " ; he answered.

" If you say so... " ; Yugi said with a worried look and he and the others left the hall...

***

Bakura still stood there starring at the amulet. Slowly the amulet began to glow and started to turn into a sliver colored liquid. It then smashed through the glass that stood around it. Bakura walked a few steps back warts , he felt like screaming and started to panic. He then tried to run away but the liquid was to fast , it jumped him and started to close around his face. He tried to pull it off but it was to strong and now started to close around his hands and arms as well. Then he heard laughing coming from a dark corner of the hall... He looked up and saw Yami Bakura stepping out of the shadows with an evil smile on his face...

" Feels cold , doesn't it " ; he said smirking. " I knew you'd come , ife been waiting here all day. "

He then started to laugh , his voice echoed in the hall and he slowly started to disappear...

Bakura started to panic now even more as the liquid started to enter his mouth , he couldn't breathe and then everything went black...

***

Bakura tried to open his eyes. He could hear voices but couldn't see clear.

" w...where am I ? " ; he muttered.

" Thank god , he's waking up " ; a female voice said.

" You're in the hospital , Bakura " ; a younger voice answered.

When his vision cleared, he saw that he was lying in a hospital bed, and his friends were nearby him.

" What happened ? " ; he then asked.

" That's what WE'D like to know," ; Joey answered, somewhat angrily. " After 30 minutes, Yugi went back to look for you, and you were unconscious. He wasn't able to wake you up, so he ran to us, and we couldn't wake you up either, so then we called an ambulance. Doc said you were in a coma and you've been in it for FOREVER . . . um . . . 5 or 6 hours . . . I think . . . Now could you tell us what happened back there?? "

Tristan ; " Joey . Chill , the guy just got out of a coma... "

Then a nurse walked in.

" Well , well looks like the sleepy one awakens... "

" Now you must all leave the patient , he needs his rest. You can visit him tomorrow... "

The nurse left the room...

" Bakura take care " ; Yugi said. " We'll visit tomorrow. "

Bakura smiled as they left the room...

***

it was night , Yugi was lying in his bed sleeping. He walked through the door to the memory side of his Yami...

" Yami ...? " ; he asked . "... Are you here ? "

" Hello Yugi " ; came an answer.

Yugi turned around and saw Yami walking up to him...

" How is Bakura ? " ; his Yami then asked.

" Not so good , that's why I'm here. "

" What happened ? " ; Yami asked with a worried look.

" Well , we were in a museum looking at something called the amulet of shadows. Bakura stayed behind and said that he would keep up in 5 minits but he didn't , after 30 minits I wen't back to look for him and I found him unconscious. I couldn't wake him up , so I got the others to help when they couldn't wake him up either I called an ambulance. The doctors said he was in a coma , but he woke up after 6 hours. "

" Did he tell you what happened ? " ; Yami asked.

" No... I'm getting worried " ; Yugi then began. " First he runs away then like you told me he has nightmares in witch he kills me and the others and now he wen't in a coma. Do you think his Yami is taking over again ? "

" Maybe , but we have to keep an eye on him. "

" Were visiting tomorrow and I asked grand-pa if he would stay there over night , he said he would do it tomorrow. "

" That's good , I just hope it isn't what I think it is... "

Bakura was tossing his head around on his pillow. He was running in a forest. The sky was dark-red and the trees were black , he was being followed by something that jumped from tree shadow to tree shadow. He tried to run away from it , but suddenly he stopped running. He was standing on the edge of a cliff. He turned around and saw the shadow coming closer , it jumped him and got inside his body. Bakura fell back warts straight down the cliff. He screamed Then he felt the hard cold floor. He opened his eyes and saw that he was lying face down on the floor it seemed to him that he had fallen out of bed. His head hurt like crazy and it was difficult to get back in bed , the whole room was spinning. He managed to get back in his bed and after a while he fell back to sleep...

***

It was morning and Yugi and the others were on their way to visit Bakura. They found him in his room leaning on against the wall looking out of the window.

" Hello there " ; he said with a smile when he saw the others entering his room.

" Bakura aren't you supposed to be in bed ? " ; Yugi asked him.

" The doctors said that my condition got a lot better , if this keeps up they may even dismiss me tomorrow. " ; he answered.

" But. how ? " ; Téa asked. " You were in pretty bad condition... "

" I don't know how , the doctors said it was unbelievable. "

" this isn't right , Bakura just got out of a coma yesterday , even he can't heal that fast and I don't think the spirit of the ring is in control " ; Yugi thought.

" Uuhm... we've brought you some flowers " ; Téa said smiling while she showed a bucket from behind.

" Thank you. "

After putting the flowers in a vase they talked for several hours until a nurse walked in and told them al to leave because Bakura needed to rest again.

" Well , we'll see you soon then Bakura ? "

" Yes , I hope so " ; he answered smiling.

As they walked to the door Joey accidentally knocked over the vase with flowers and it wen't falling on the ground bursting in pieces.

" Joey ! " ; Téa said to him angry.

" I'm so sorry... " ; Joey then started to say.

" That's alright , I can get a new vase from the nurses " ; Bakura said smiling while starting to pick up the pieces.

When they were done picking up the pieces and flowers they were ready to leave. They walked to the door and Bakura waved as they left. When he walked back to his bed he suddenly felt pain rising up under his right foot. He raised up the foot and looked under it and saw that he stepped in a rather big piece of the vase.

" Looks like we've forgotten a piece... "

He then pulled out the piece while biting on his teeth to withstand the pain.

" Id better get a nurse for this " ; he said while looking at his bleeding wound , he then summoned a nurse who put a bandage around his foot and wen't to sleep. At the time Yugi's grand-pa came in he was fast asleep...

*authors note * why wont Bakura tell what's going on , why are you still reading , why am I still typing , the answer is I DONT KNOW ! ! ! *lol*
