Thank u ppl who reviewed. Yes. Sorry I didn't update in a while...I had writers block...Heehee. Right. So, I do not own YuGiOh, because if I did, I would be very rich and would not be writing this. Yup. (Sigh) I love being right. LOL! Anyway, this is chapter 2. I was afraid I might not b able 2 update it b/c I had so many things to do. Ok, now read. This will be longer than the first. The first was just a little intro to the plot. Oh yes, in this fic, all of them are fifteen years old, with the exception of Joey, Malik, and Yami. They're sixteen. (Even though Yami's 5,000, he was 16 or so when he died.)

Chapter 2
.............................................
Marik led them away from the ruined museum and led them around town to one of those abandoned warehouses. He stopped in front of a really old and rusty one.
"Malik," said Tea shivering in the breeze. "Why are we here? Why can't we just sit down at a warm restaurant and talk?"
"Shh!" said Malik. "We must not be heard!" he added looking around. "And besides, I'll explain everything once we get inside." He opened the rusty door carefully and pushed them inside.
"HEY!"
"Who turned off the lights?"
"There were no lights in here in the first place,"
"Whatever."
Malik rolled his eyes and took out his millennium rod. He used its magic to make a barrier around the warehouse. 'No magic could penetrate the powers of my millennium rod.' He thought. 'To the unaided eye, this place will look like a pile of broken-up rocks. No one will bother us here.'
"Hey!" shouted Joey from inside. "You aren't gonna lock us up here right? Because if you are, then you could at least get us some food. Gosh, I'm hungry."
"You're always hungry." Said Tea. "Don't I always tell you? You are what you eat from your head to your feet?"
"Neat rhyme, Shakespeare." Said Joey.
"Come on you guys," said Yugi. "Stop fighting and try to find..."
The lights blared on.
"The lights," finished Yugi.
"Stop playing around, you guys," said Malik.
'I wanna trust this guy,' thought Joey. 'But I can't help but have this lingering feeling that something is gonna go wrong...very wrong,"
"Okay," Malik started. "What I wanted to say was that there is another threat. Another threat to destroy the world again."
"WHAT?" shouted Joey. "We have to fight another psycho? What is WITH this world?!"
"Who is it?" asked Tea.
"It's...it's my own cousin...Kaiko. She has the millennium manacle."
'Trouble seems to run in his family,' thought Tea.
"Eh..." said Joey scratching his head. "What's a manacle?"
"It's like a wristband, except gold."
"Oh,"
"So what does this item do?" asked Yugi. "I've never heard of it before."
"Yes, it was not discovered until recently. Kaiko went on a dig with Ishizu last month to find more artifacts on Egypt. She found a new series of millennium items."
"New series?" asked Yugi.
"Yes, there are about four of them. Instead of belonging to the pharaoh, they belonged to his queen. Anyway, Kaiko was inspecting them when it started glowing. She was a little frightened. But then it rose in the air and snapped themselves on her wrists. She tried, but they won't come off. Now, one month later, the darkness has completely consumed her and now she is trying to destroy the world."
Everyone was silent. Suddenly Malik said,
"You guys HAVE to help. Kaiko is my favorite cousin and I don't want her hurt. You will help...right?"
"Yes!" Yugi. "We will help."
"Whatever you say," said Joey.
"I'm with you!" said Tea.
"Good. Now let me start with this." He took out his rod and before anyone could say anything, he pointed it straight for Yugi. "This won't hurt a bit."
The magic activated, and glowed around Yugi.
"W...what are you doing?" Yugi asked with his eyes wide. He tried to break away, but he was frozen.
The light glowed around him and he felt like he was being torn apart in two.
"Malik! Stop!" shouted Tea with tears in her eyes.
Suddenly, the light glowed so bright that they had to cover their eyes. There was darkness all around and it began to storm outside. A streak of lightning hit the building and the glowing light disappeared. All you could see was a big cloud of smoke.
"MALIK!" shouted Joey. "What did you do to Yugi?!"
There was no answer. Suddenly, they could see the outlines of three people.
"C...could it be?" stuttered Tea.
Two identical tri-colored heads made their way out of the smoke.
"It is!" shouted Joey. "It's Yami!"
The smoke cleared and they saw Yugi and Yami collapsing onto the floor. They seemed wiped out. Malik was standing above them with a confused look.
"I didn't think that it'd be that exhausting!" he said.
"It...it...was," gasped Yami.
"You...could...h...have warned us...you know," breathed Yugi.
"I could have, but what fun would that be?" said Malik cheerfully. "I'm a fun guy and I like surprises!"
"I don't" grumbled Yami as he sat up.
.................. IN A FORTRESS.......................
"Malik," said a dark female voice. "You have released the pharaoh. You have helped me without even knowing...now I will be able to destroy the world, thanks to you. But first, I would like to give you a little test, pharaoh. Let's see just how extraordinary you really are."
The female figure moved her hand over a large basin filled with smoke. She found a girl wandering the streets and took over her mind. (A/n mind- control runs in the family) She forced her to go into the warehouse where Yugi, Yami, Tea, Joey, and Malik were...
...............AT THE WAREHOUSE...................
Tea, Joey, and Malik were helping Yugi and Yami when the door burst open. Standing in the shadows was a pretty girl that was about fifteen years old.
"Hey, kid!" shouted Joey. "You shouldn't be here!"
" My master says to get out of here. "
"And just who is your master?" asked Yami.
"I cannot say. Get out before I destroy you! "
"We're not going anywhere, so you can just TRY and destroy us."
" I have warned you. "
She pulled back the sleeve of her shirt revealing a golden bracelet.
"Nice jewelry, little girl," said Joey laughing. "Is that the weapon you're gonna destroy us with?" he started laughing.
The girl didn't say anything. She tapped her golden bracelet and it activated. It was a millennium item! Light streamed out and headed straight for Joey.
"Stop!" yelled Yami. He stood in front of Joey, therefore blocking the attack. Instead, it created a barrier that sent the attack straight back to the girl. The girl screamed and fell. "That should teach her a lesson!" shouted Malik.
"Shut up, she wasn't acting on her own free will, you know." Said Yami angrily.
'What's his problem?' thought Tea and Joey.
{Yami, what's wrong?}
[Nothing.]
{Come on, what? Do you like that girl or something?}
Yami blushed. [I'm not saying.]
{Hit a sore spot eh?} Laughed Yugi.
[Shut up! That's not funny. And even if I did, I wouldn't tell you.]
{Hey! that's not funny. You think I can't be trusted?}
[That's exactly right]
He closed the mind link. He watched as everyone else was standing there in shock, looking at the girl. Yami decided to break the silence by going and helping her. He walked over and knelt down beside her. Then he lifted up her head and signaled to the others that she was still breathing. Tea and Joey ran over.
"I...I didn't mean to make fun of her," said Joey scratching his head.
"It's okay, Joey." Said Yami. "She's okay, and when she wakes up, you can apologize."
Tea found a clean washcloth and a cold bucket of water. She dipped the washcloth into the water and cleaned the girl's face. She then pressed it to her forehead. After about ten tense minutes, the girl slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were normal, which meant that she was released from the mind control.
"Hey! She's okay!" shouted Joey to Yugi and Malik who were still just standing there.
"Really?" asked Yugi. "That's great!"
"W...where am I?" she whispered.
"Er..." started Tea. "In a warehouse."
"Oh."
"What's your name?" asked Yami.
"A...Amaya."
"That's a nice name," said Yami. "It means 'night rain' right?"
"Y...yes it does." Amaya blushed.
Tea, Joey, and Malik looked surprised.
{Yami, are you SURE you don't like her?}
[Of course I like her! Can't you figure it out?]
Amaya tried to sit up, but her back was slightly injured, and it gave. She was about to fall back when Yami caught her.
"Whoa!" said Joey. "Those are some fast reflexes!"
"Thank you," blushed Amaya straightening up again cautiously.
"You're welcome." He took her hands and brought her to a standing position. She swayed a little bit, but Yami held her steady. They looked into each other's eyes for a moment and then looked away blushing. Yami let go of her hands. Suddenly, a huge bar cage enclosed them.
"WHAT THE HECK IS THIS DOING HERE?" shouted Joey grabbing the bars and shaking them.
"We're trapped!" shouted Tea.
"No really," said Yami.
"Who put this here?" Asked Yugi.
"It was probably Kaiko!" shouted Malik.
Suddenly, the whole place was on fire, and it was quickly spreading.
"NOT AGAIN!" said Yugi.
"We're gonna die!" shouted Joey.
The fire was so close now that they could feel its heat.
"I should have brought my sunscreen." Said Joey. They all stared at him.
"What? Just trying to make the best of a bad situation!"
"Well, DON'T!" they all shouted.
Suddenly, the bars caught on fire, and melted, leaving them exposed to the intense heat and growing flames...
...................................................
So how did you like chapter 2? It was longer than I expected, but I wanted to show how Yami feels about Amaya. I just can't help putting him with an original character! None of the regular ppl work! Tea doesn't deserve him and neither do Mai or Serenity! So, tell me how you feel about the early romance in this story. There will be no lemons...nope. Just some typical other romance, that doesn't include...lemons. So, R&R!!! I really like this story; it may be by far my personal favorite. Hope it's yours too! See ya in the next chappie!
