Shadow Yugi

Chapter 2-Training in the Shadows

Jonouchi sighed as he shuffled his cards for what seemed like the millionth time. They had all gotten back to Domino City thanks to Marik, and his new jet. He sat back on his couch in Duke's manison. Yugi, Marik, and Mimi had gone to the Shadow Realm to train for a while. The Millenium Rod was back in Marik's possesion seeing as he wasn't evil anymore. Jonouchi remembered when they had arrived at camp...

"Where is the Pharoh?" asked Ishizu anxiously. Yugi winced and then she noticed who was with Yugi. "The Dark Magician GIrl...?"

"Listen..." started Jonouchi. "To summarize what I know. Yugi has been makin' trips to the Shadow Realm since Battle City. Now the Dark Magician Girl is his girlfriend. Anyway, the Pharoh played some evil card called Orikalcos, went evil, and almost killed the Dark Magician Girl, who's name's Mimi, but Yugi and Obelisk stopped him. Now Yug's gotta duel the Pharoh in a month."

"I see..." said Ishizu. "Yugi, who has the Millenium Items, you or the Pharoh?"

"I have the Puzzle, Necklace, and Rod." replied Yugi. "Marik, I'm giving the Rod back to you. You understand it better then I do."

"Okay." replied Marik. He grasped the Rod, it's energy filling his body once again. "So Yugi, now what?"

"You, me, and Mimi are going on a little training excursion to the Shadow Realm." explained Yugi. He put his arm around Mimi's waist, who giggled. He walked outside, and everyone followed him. He held the Millenium Puzzle to the sky. Then a black light came down and a jagged portal appeared. Soon, all three stepped inside. "We'll meet you at Domino City in two weeks!"

It was tomorow that Yugi and the other two were supposed to come back. Jonouchi had imporved some srtategies, but had kept his deck the same. Those biker guys had come back, and Jonouchi had managed to win Ra off them. Knowing full well this card was worthless to him, remembering his Duel with Odion, then Mai's and his Duel against the Dark Marik, he decided to give it to Yugi when he returned. That Alabaster guy had his soul taken as well. And jonouchi didn't need Ra, he had Harmos! Somehow, the Pharoh had gotten away with Tomias though. Kaiba had his dragon too.

"So Jo, whatcha thinkin' 'bout?" asked Duke as he walked over. Duke had fainally fixed a deck up for himself, and wasn'tvery fond of the game. Of course, Jonouchi knew that was because it was the only game that made more money then Dungeon Dice Monsters."Wait, why don't we just Duel. I need some practice..."

Meanwhile, in the Shadow Realm's desert...

"RUUUUUUUUN!" yelled Marik as he ran for his life. He, Yugi, and Mimi were running from a group of Dinosaur monsters, who just had thier lunch stolen from them by a hungry Yugi. "Yugi! This is all your fault!"

"I was hungry!" countered Yugi.

"WHO CARES!?" yelled Mimi. She waved her staff in the air and Curse of Dragon flew down. "Let's hop on!"

"Okay!" chorused Marik and Yugi as they hopped onto the Curse of Dragon.

"How about we go home early?" suggested Marik. Yugi shrugged.

"I guess... But it's up to Mimi." replied Yugi as he glanced at his mate (yes I will continue to use this DBZ term. Deal with it)

"First I gotta tell Ryu goodbye." replied Mimi with a grin. "And since I'm real now... I better get some cards for myself!"

Yugi and Marik stared at her in shock.

"I completely forgot!" exclaimed Marik. Yugi however, smirked.

"You can look at some of the spares I have, then we'll go get you some other cards when we get back. Sound good to you?" replied Yugi. Mimi squealed and hugged him.

"Thank's yu-kun!" said Mimi as she and yugi proceeded to make out. Marik sighed.

"They could at least do this when they're alone..." muttered the Tomb Keeper as he summoned a Kuriboh and began to play with it for a while. After, the Kuriboh left and Marik was getting annoyed. Did they have to do this every day? "Get a room!"

"Okay!" they chorused and hopped off Curse of Dragon and walked over to Mimi's house. Curse of Dragon landed and Marik sighed. He noticed his Drilago was waiting nearby.

"Hey Drilago..." replied Marik as he leaned against the wall where Drilago was hovering. The machine monster whirred in reply.

An hour or so later, Yugi and Mimi walked out. Yugi opened the gate to outside the Shadow Realm. Ryu waved from the roof of Mimi's home, and Drilago whirred much louder. The three stepped through the portal and appeared in the room with Jonouchi and Duke.

"Now, Orgoth the Relentless, destroy him!" yelled Duke. The hologram of Duke's favorite card slashed up Jonouchi's Rocket Warrior and Jo's Life Points went to zero.

"I see Duke is better..." mutterred Yugi. "Now then, I want all of you to meet me at my granpa's shop later. I need to talk to you..."

Well, that's the end of this chapter. I would really appriciate some reviews... And if i don't get any I'll have to voice my opinions on YAIO! (And some certain Yuri/Shojo-ai couples as well!) (No offense to anyone, but I changed my mind I WANT REVIEWS!)
