*Alone in the authoress notes, a wooden sign has been erected*
Sign: Hi, it's me the Chibi Red Eyes Black Dragon! (Bet you didn't know I could write, huh?) Tulip-Jin and her Yami are off in a snit because of our total lack of feedback on this fic. In fact, if they found this sign I made, Yami Tulip-Jin would probably torch it...but in any case, here is the next chapter of this fic. Review it please thank-you!

**************************************************************************************************
For weeks afterwards, I became obsessed with that strange golden puzzle. Everyone considered me a bit eccentric already, so no one thought much of it, but I spent all my waking hours trying to fit the pieces together.
A pyramidal shape was forming, much like the pyramids that were being designed as the latest tombs. I even heard Father wanted to build himself a pyramid tomb bigger then the palace at one point, but then he forgot about it and no one felt like reminding him.
Besides, where were we supposed to find that much stone and all those slaves to build it with?
Anyway, it was weeks and weeks later - another moonless night, in fact - before I finished it. The last piece I put in was the one with the Sennen Eye on it, just like the one on the box.
What happened next, I'm not 100% sure about, but I vaguely remembered something like a burning pain or blinding light. Whether either of them actually happened, I'll never know.
Anyway, _after_ the blackout I remember things just fine.
I suddenly found myself in some vast, empty space. It was dark and foreboding.
"What is this place," I asked. It was a bit stupid, but I was answered.
"This place is the Shadow Realm," a voice hissed.
It was behind me, and I turned to find myself face to face with a man dressed in gold. His clothes seemed literally woven from gold. His hair was black, and so were his eyes. He was deathly pale, such that I looked a healthy brown in comparison. He had a unsavory aura about him, but curiosity drove me to speak further.
"The Shadow Realm? I've heard about it, but I never expected it to be this…" I trailed off as I tried to figure out what.
"Dark? Empty? I'd imagine that's what you were thinking, Lord Yamakali," the man said. He was smirking in an unsettling way.
"How do you know my name?" I demanded.
"Why, you interest me, of course. You have interested me for a long time, and at last we meet." He spoke condescendingly, like anyone in their right mind would have known the answer.
"In that case, who are you?" I asked.
"You may call me Takai. Come, Lord Yamakali, let us play a game."
'Takai' watched me expectantly. I was getting a very, very bad feeling about him, but then there was the game. My greatest weakness has been that I simply cannot turn down a game. It earned me a lot of pain and misery when my siblings took advantage of it.
"What sort of game?" I asked.
"Nothing too strenuous. You may even have heard of it. This way," he said and walked deeper into the darkness. I followed.
