Dao Yang gong and Rong yi sat on the plane heading for Domino, Japan. Behind them were they're brother and sister, Dao Lian and Run (In China the last name is usually mentioned before the first).

Lian was about 5' and was 15 years old. He had purplish blue hair partially slicked up in one spike in back and cold goldish green eyes. He was the youngest in the family and also had the coldest attitude.

Run was 17 years old and the only girl in the family. She had green hair pinned up in a weird fashion and had blue eyes. She would help out her brother, the heir to the Dao family.

Yang gong was about 5'2'' and was 17 years old like Run. He had black spiky hair with navy blue tips and silver bangs and had cold violet eyes. He was a famous Chinese rock star and also inherited the cold attitude from Lian.

Rong yi was about 5'9'' and was also 17 years old. He had short white hair slicked back and had cold brown eyes. He was currently learning Dao Dan Do and also had that cold attitude.

"We're now landing in Domino Airport," said the person on the speaker.

'Great, why did I have to go along back to Domino? I could have stayed with Uncle and Mom,' thought Rong yi.

"Because Shaman Fight in Tokyo is coming and since I'm going to be Shaman King you and big brother and sister are going to help me," said Lian.

"Eek! I hate it when you do that!" said Rong yi. "Stop doing that Lian!"

"Don't worry Rong yi," Yang gong reassured. "You're coming along in Dao Dan Do. Besides, we've changed."

"Yeah you're right," said Rong yi settling down a little but was still tense.

Yang gong tightened his grip on his electric guitar in his case. He was also nervous in going back to Domino. It's been a year since he last saw it along with Rong yi.

"Nervous?" asked Run noticing her brother's palms sweating on the case.

"Yes sister," replied the scared teen.

"Do not fear Yang gong," said Run. "You will be all right. You've mastered familiar spirits so you'll be fine."

"I guess," replied the still tensed teen. He wasn't looking forward to going back.

The four got off the plane and claimed their luggage. Then they headed toward the familiar streets of Domino.

"We'll handle finding a place to live," said Run. "You two can just cruise around."

"Um...okay," said Yang gong. He and his brother watched as their siblings left.

"Well, um...want to go to the arcade?" asked Rong yi.

"Sure!" said Yang gong.

Téa, Tristian, Joey, Yami, and Bakura were heading for the arcade as usual. No one had change that much except that everyone grew a few inches. Téa still was saving up money to go to New York, Joey and Tristian were still the same, Yami still played Duel Monsters, and Bakura was still the same.

Yami wasn't looking where he was going and bumped into someone else.

"Oh I'm sorry I- Yugi!?!?!?!" His yell made everyone else jump. Yugi had changed over the year. His hair was now dyed navy blue and silver, he grew a few inches, and- Yami was shocked about this- his innocent violet eyes were now cold. Bakura stared at the person who was helping Yugi up.

"Ryou?" asked Bakura. The teen was no longer the hikari he knew. He cut his hair and slicked it back, but what really made the tomb robber shocked were his eyes. They were no longer warm, but cold. Anger boiled up in him.

"Why did you come back!" Yami demanded at Yugi. "I told you to leave and never return!"

"Well, I'm back," said Yugi. "And I'm better."

Meanwhile Bakura was giving Ryou his best stink eye. "I thought I told you to get lost!" he yelled at Ryou.

"I did get lost," said Ryou. "But now I'm found. And I'm back."

The two yamis' angers boiled up and they both aimed a punch at their hikaris. Like a bullet Ryou jumped and did a powerful rocket kick on Bakura and a bomb kick on Yami making the two teens crash to the ground.

The rest stared at Ryou in shock. Ryou definitely started learning martial arts over the year.

Yami and Bakura got up. They both started attacking Ryou. Ryou started attacking with Dao Dan Do techniques. It looked like he was going to get the upper hand when Yami suddenly kicked him in the back making Ryou hit the ground into unconscious.

"RYOU!!!" yelled Yugi. He faced the two yamis. "HOW DARE YOU HIT RYOU LIKE THAT!! LEAF SPRITES!!!!!" Yugi turned every leaf on the ground into leaf sprites and launched them at the two teens. Taken by surprise the two yamis were attacked. They kept getting hit until Yugi was satisfied and turned them back into leaves.

Yami and Bakura picked themselves off the ground. They didn't expect Yugi to be that tough. "We'll settle this later," said Bakura and left with the others.

Yugi hurried over to Ryou who was still unconscious and turned him over. There were a few scrapes on his face and a bruise on his cheek, but nothing serious. He also had a bleeding cut on his arm and a huge bruise on his back where Yami kicked him.

"You need help dragging him back?" Yugi turned around to see the last person that he thought would help him.

"Yes," replied Yugi. The person turned around and kneeled.

"Attach him on my back," said the person. Yugi grabbed Ryou's good arm and pushed Ryou's body on Duke's body. Duke took hold of both legs and carried him with Yugi giving directions.

Lian and Run were now putting away their things in their new home. Their 'home' was a burnt Chinese Restaurant that was still good.

Run was almost done with putting away their clothes when the door suddenly burst open. The Chinese girl turned around. Standing in the doorway was Yang gong and a stranger. On the stranger's back was Rong yi.

"RONG YI!!" screamed Run hurrying over to the two teens. The stranger carefully put Rong yi down on a nearby bed. Run immediately began cleaning up the cut on his arm and bandaging it up.

"Thanks," said Yang gong.

"No problem," replied the stranger and left.

Lian ran over to the three. "What's going on?" he asked completely out of breath.

"Rong yi is injured," said Run.

"Hurry and treat him!" said Lian.

"That is exactly what we're doing," said Yang gong. "And since when did you suddenly care about Rong yi."

"Because the future emperor of the world has to take care of his subjects," replied Lian.

"Whatever," replied Yang gong and returned to helping Rong yi.

About an hour later Rong yi woke up to find himself in a bed. His cut was cleaned and wrapped and there was an ice pack on his back. Yang gong was busy putting away all his belongings.

"How do you feel?" asked Run who walked over to the bed.

"Better," replied Rong yi.

"That's good," said Run with a smile. Just then Yang gong came over.

"Better?" he asked.

"Yes," replied Rong yi.

Yami put another ice pack on the fifteenth bruise he had. He and Bakura were currently recuperating from their fight with Yugi and Ryou. Bakura still couldn't get over the shock that Ryou was now a cold loner and a kung fu master.

'Ryou, what did I do to deserve this?' he thought.

"The truth is, you two idiots aren't the ones having a difficult time. Your hikaris are." The two yamis turned around to find Marik and Ishizu. After Battle City Marik had gone straight. Ishizu made sure of it.

"Marik is right," said Ishizu. "You two obviously did something in the past to Yugi and Ryou that made them suddenly take off. Now they're back and they seem to have not wanted to come back. I believe it's because of the two of you."

"WHAT!?!?!?" yelled Yami. "YOU'RE MAD! BOTH OF YOU! WHY WOULD WE SUDDENLY DO SOMETHING THAT MADE THEM TAKE OFF!?!?!"

"Let's just say that I know 'cause I'm an hikari also," said Marik. "Also, I was yami-abused for quite some time. In fact, more than both of them combined."

"What's the point anyway?" said Bakura.

"The point is that unless you just want your hikaris to kick your ass again I suggest you four kiss and make up!"

"I DON'T WANT TO MAKE UP WITH THAT STUPID MORTAL!!!" yelled Yami.

"YOU'D BETTER KISS AND MAKE UP BEFORE RYOU DOES MORE KUNG FU ON YOU AND YUGI DOES SHIKIGAMI!" yelled Marik. Yami and Bakura gasped.

"How'd you know?" asked Bakura.

"Let's just say I was the one that dragged Ryou back home on my back with Yugi telling me the whole story on the way. Boy is that guy heavy!" Marik added and rubbed his back.

"LISTEN!!! I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE UP WITH THAT FUCKIN' HIKARI OF MINE!!" yelled Bakura grabbing Marik's collar.

"NEITHER AM I!!!" shouted Yami. Marik stared at both of them and removed Bakura's hand from his collar.

"You'll have to eventually," said Marik with an evil grin. "I don't think Yugi's done surprising you." And with that he and Ishizu left.
