The final chapters will be made soon, it's summer vacation and I am BORED LIKE FCKING HELL !

Well thanks to a good old song of evanescene i got the inspiration to make the rest..

I have been very busy with other stories as well, I am currently working on my own anime serie, if anyone knows a good link for a fiction site, I had one that was like but i lost it.. Please put it in a review...

This will be one of the last chapters, THERE WILL BE A SEQUELL !

the moon shined through the hole in the ceiling down the ancient bowl on top of the stairways in the basement, the golden bow glittered in the moonlight, the jewel inside the bowl reflected the moonlight and the red glow shinned across the walls and pillars of the room, beside the bowl Bakura stood he was looking at the jewel, he knew he couldn't do anything but wait till the time was right... the summoning of the shadow realm to the real world would take time, concentration and he couldn't do it alone... he wondered when Yami would appear, but until then he could just wait.. his minions had to do their work properly or this would all be for nothing..

He stared down the hallway for any trace at all , but instead of his rival walking up he was greeting by the empty shadows of the night..

"hmpf.. He is late... "

the gang came to a halt, they kicked out one of the ventilation shafts and one by one dropped out of the shaft on the cold hard floor, Joey caught up Téa as she jumped out of the shaft, the others started to dust themselves off..

Seto just stood there starring into the empty dark halls, they were near the hallway that had the stairs to the basement, he didn't trust this situation at all, after battleship he thought this all would be over but it seemed that it had just started..

And he was afraid that all the stories he heard may be true at all...

He was deep in thought not noticing Yami walking up to his side, Yami starred at him seeing that he was deep in thought , he starred down the hall as well for a moment..

"Are you ok ? "

Seto snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Yami..

"Why shouldn't I be, you should be more worried about your friend then about me... "

"you may be cold most of the times and you may be equal to my skills but still you ar- "

"LOOK OUT ! "

before Yami knew what was happening he was pushed aside by Seto, both fell on the ground as flying stars passed above their heads, both of them got up quickly when they all had past, Seto peered into the darkness but the figure that ran towards them had vanished into thin air..

"What the.. Where did he go ! "

Then from his side something tackled him, he fell back warts on the ground with some kind of Ninja on top of him...

Kaiba didn't know what he was doing until he realized that the Ninja had tried to stab him with one of the shurikens he carried... he was trying to stop the ninja from slitting his throat..

"KAIBA ! "

Joey tried to run over to him with his fists up but then another creature attacked out of nowhere, Joey stepped back quickly trying to avoid being hit by the blade it carried instead it slashed through one of the glass boxes on his side, the spliced glass slides off the box and shatters as it falls on the ground.

Joey looks up with a fearful look as he sees what was trying to kill him this time , he starred right into the death eyes of a Earl of Demise, the creature growled in a low tune as Joey backed away, trying to escape it's stinking breath.. it really smelled like rotting flesh and it made him feel like he needed to puke real bad...

The creature launched another attack, it sword swinged through the air trying to slash it's target, but Joey dodged them until the last, the creature slashed across his shoulder, Joey fell on his knees as the Earl quickly rose it's blade ready to finish off his victim, Joey looked away from him with his eyes closed , waiting for the final cut..

' damned, this is it.. '

"JOEY ! "

Joey hadn't realize that he wasn't alone when he reopened his eyes after hearing someone shouting his name he found that Tristan had thrown himself at the creature making unable to hit Joey..

Kaiba had finally kicked off the Ninja like creature, it had easily landed back on his feet , Kaiba stood up still exhausted of the things that were going on, the ninja charged at him, before he knew it had bashed him against the wall, before reacting the ninja jumped up , taking a sword from it's back as it came down again..

Then something unexpected happened, Yami pushed Seto out of the way and backed down right before the sword slashed down through the wall, Seto looked at Yami never expecting this to happen..

"C'mon ! Kaiba stand up and get going ! "

"NO ! I can take care of this alone, you go and save your pathetic little friend.. "

Joey and Tristan were still trying to fight the Earl as Kaiba tried to fight off the Ninja, Téa backed up against the wall eyes full with fear , she didn't know what to do at the moment , she then saw Yami running off to the other hallway..

"YU- "

Something graphed her from behind and slowly took her back into the wall, she could feel something cold slithering across her legs but was to scared to even look, she couldn't shout for help something had gotten grip of her and had covered her mouth, it was then that she fainted..

Yami ran down the stairs to the basement, the doors to the hall were open.

He walked inside still amazed of the structure of the place.. he looked up at the stairs and could see something red shinning somewhere above the stairs...

It was then that he heard a certain sadistic laugh from under the stairs.

"it was about time you came, you've kept me waiting here and now it is time... "

Yami looked at Bakura in fear, he hadn't noticed what had happened to him, and he couldn't even imagine what Ryou must have felt when he looked inside the mirror...

Bakura was giving Yami a death glare, normally this wouldn't even scare him for a bit but now it was totally different from what it used to be...

"What did you do to Ryou ?! "

Bakura laughed and Yami could see the k-9 like teeth hidden within his mouth...

"Can't you see that ? Or should I spell it for you "

Yami just glared back, he didn't want the tomb robber to think he was scared of him, well he wasn't entirely scared , It was just a real shock to see what happened underneath his nose...

Ryou could have called for help anytime but he never does... Yami had always wondered why he never resisted this or why he had never tried to get help from his friends...

"Now are we just going to stand here or will we finish this once and for all... "

"why are you doing this anyway.. if this is some sick trick to get the advantage of me then you are sadly mistaken.. "

"there was once an old Egyptian legend... it only had one line 'To gain what you want , you have to become it' and like I told someone else before.. I am the shadows and I never die... "

Yami glared at Bakura, he noticed that the gem on Bakura was glowing faint red.. as if it was active...

It was then that he recognized it

"so you used the Amulet of Shadows to become what you wanted to be , right ? "

Bakura just smiled in his own insane way.

"but there is a cost, if I want to become what I want and gain all the powers of the shadow realm.. I have to kill the only person in my way , and that is you "

"do you think that I would let you kill me that easily ? "

"well you would give up when your friend is in need "

Bakura spun around and showed Yami what was behind him

Téa was hanging unconscious on the wall above the steps , shadows had whirled around her hands and feet as if she was hanging on a cross .

"Téa .. "

Bakura just laughed as he looked as Yami's face that was full with shock and fear.

"this is between you and me Bakura, leave my friends out of this ! "

"well I would, but you and your friends got a bit TO nosy "

Yami starred at Téa and then back at Bakura.

"well what is it going to be, pharaoh ? You or your little friend .. "

Yami sighed, it wasn't an easy decision but he had no choice...

"all right Bakura, I give up "
