Authoress Babbles: HI YA'LL!
So, how was your Christmas break? I broke into my aunts house... it was fun! ^_^ Touzo-chan and Baku-kun are proud of me!
As for Bakura... yes he did go into hibernation, but we woke him up.
And Ryou is still in Hawaii. He refuses to return to Canada's deep freeze. (Grrrr... must torture him)
Ryou (from Hawaii): :P
Anyway-
Yami: She doesn't own Yugioh (cast: Wahoo!), Lord of the Rings (cast: Thank god), Finding Nemo (dory: What?) or Rubex cube puzzles (Kyoko: Wahoooooo!) or the book "Snow bound" by Harry Mazer (Kyoko: THANK THE LORD!)
Everyone: (sweat drop)
Warnings: I don't know if it's that bad, but for those who can't handle blood and have vivid imaginations... there is a seen with blood and gore, Kay?
Mawha to you all and enjoy.

Yugi and Yami were just about to call a taxi when some one taped Yami's shoulder. At first yami just thought that some one mistaked him for someone else (we all know that it's that's highly unlikely). But when he turned around he froze on the spot, fear gripping him in its icy grasp. The horror of it all, no the trauma!
"Hi!"
The annoyingness of it all.
The stewardess from the plain ride (yes the one with cat ears) was smiling back at him stupidly.
"What are you doing here?" Yami asked, eyebrow twitching.
Yugi was, lets just say, confused. Did he know this person? He never remembered seeing her anywhere in his life. And yami was dead for some-what 3000 years, so that to was highly unlikely. Was it?
"Yami? Do you know her?" Yugi asked, pocking Yami in the shoulder.
"Sadly-" Yami began but before he could say anything else the Asian girl pushed him to the side, and sent him flying as she ran up to Yugi.
"Hello! Sorry for the inconvenience, I'm Kage. I met your odd brother on the plain. He is very rude you know! Did you mother ever tell him about manners! I mean." She went on blabbering as Yugi sweat dropped. She seemed friendly enough, if you were on her good side that is.
"Um, I'm Yugi, and Yami over there isn't my brother." Yugi said.
She stopped her ranting and stared at him for a sec. "So you guys queer? Well that's fine!" she said with a big cheesy smile.
Yugi's jaw dropped, as well as yami, who by the way is still trying to overcome the fact that a girl his size had pushed him over. Not to mention al lot of people around them stared. Yugi quickly recovered from the wave of shock and shook his head while laughing.
"I belive your mistaken, were just really good friends." He said. With that said everyone when back to there business. (A/n: I have nothing against gay people. There normal just like us.)
"Oh... Sorry for the mix up. I happen to jump to conclusions way to quickly." She said, rubbing her neck, obviously embarrassed greatly. "Nothing against gay people here. They are people too."
Yami finally got over his fall, and gave up thinking it was impossible for her to have pushed him over like that. If he was 3000 years old it was possible that she could push him over. With all that he's seen, ANYTHING was possible (especially in this day and age). He stood up, dusting him self off then taped her on the shoulder.
"Umm, why are you following me?" He asked her, slightly annoyed.
"Oh! Well I'm here to go to my next job. I can't belive they let me come back, not after I let loose some sort of stupid curse. Everyone went wacko on me. Everyone was running and screaming in Arabic 'The Apocalypse has arrived!'" She stopped when she noticed the look Yami was giving her. It was the 'Oh-my-Ra!-how-could-you!' look.
Yami jumped at her and shook her madly and forcefully. Her head rocked back and forth rapidly. "What curse was it? Tell me!" Yami yelled in her ears, still shaking her.
Yugi stopped Yami from shaking the poor girl and turned to her. "Please, tell us what curse it was and how you unleashed it." He asked he politely. "Don't mind Yami, were kinda dealing with one and our friends are missing-"
"Friend. I don't consider Bakura a friend at all." Yami spat Bakura's name like it was poison.
"Ryou and Bakura are both our friends Yami. I know you and Bakura are not on the best of terms for events that happened in the past but really." Yugi scolded him.
"Well I'll try and help. Here, I'll buy you guys a coffee or something and I'll tell you. It's a long story..." Kage said with a now serious look on her face.
~~~~
The silence was unnerving. So quiet... quiet as death. The hum of silence rung in Ryou's ears. He was cold, hungry, tired and frightened. It had been four days since he had seen Ishtar or his Yami and was worrying like crazy now.
Malik was asleep next to him. He seemed so lifeless. They were surviving off the bag of sugary sweets Malik had in his pocket.
~~Ryou's POV~~
We had savored them, since neither of us were big eaters. No one in my family was. Bakura wasn't at all... he didn't need to eat, to drink or to sleep. But I say he didn't NEED to. He said food and drink were only simple pleasures, a rare treat that he could live without. '3000 years stuck in piece of gold dose things to you.' He had said once.
I smiled at the memory when i asked my Yami why he never ate.
We are alone... the dead have let us be and returned to the darkness, happy that they had found the 'Source of Light'.
I am worried though. Where is my Father, why has no one come for us? WE have wandered the passages for a while only to end up back here. We retraced our steps, yet we always returned, like we are in a loop.
I am so cold now. I feel like a thin layer of frost as covered me and my hair turned stiff with ice. My current attire isn't helping much. Shorts and a tee shirt aren't really good at all. But his bothers me. I'm used to all different types of Climates, sense my dad's job moved us all over the place. I've lived in Russia and Canada for a few years and could easily deal with they're freezing winters. But I why do I find it so cold now? Why. Why do I feel like my bones are ice and my lips are blue. It's so cold...
Maybe I should sleep for a while...
Yes... sleep seems good...
~~Normal POV~~
His last conscious thought was the fact that his situation oddly resembled that of a book he once read in LA class. Snow Bound. Yeah, the book that Mr. Roberts, the Evil English teacher of doom, had slaughtered by telling them the story in a large nutshell. Even though, the author slaughtered the book even before they read it.
(A/n: Argh! Snow Bound! I recommend you NEVER read that book! It was stupid and clichéd beyond belief. And for all those who have I feel sorry for you. Just a reminder, this is MY opinion of the story. There might be some one out there who liked the book for all I know. But everyone in my class hated the book so yeah... don't get mad at me all those who read the book and liked it. I repeat it's just MY [actually the whole classes] opinion. Thank you for listening)

Kage, Yami and Yugi all sat at a little table with and umbrella. The Umbrella was especially ugly, lime green with purple swirls and mahogany triangles, Yuk! The reason why they chose this one was because pigeons inhabited all the others and Yami and Kage have had bad experiences with them. (Remember the episode with the date with Anzu? Yeah, that one)
Yugi had apple juice, telling Kage that he shouldn't drink anything with caffeine for fear of there own safety. Kage was clueless about the fact that Yugi could get sugar/caffeine high, so she shrugged it off.
Yami had a cappuccino and was currently half way through it. While Kage herself settled for a chilled chocolate mocha latté with cinnamon and chocolate shavings. (Yummy)
"So," Yugi asked. "How did this start?"
"Well it all started back at my first job in Ireland. I was a simple worker at a souvenirs shop in Dublin. We sold all sorts of lucky charms, shamrocks to little stuffed leprechauns. Anyway one day I stepped on a leprechaun and I freaked out. My boss thought I was crazy when I told him and fired me for causing such a racket and a fuss."
Yami looked up from his drink. "And this has to do with the curse how?"
"Hush you!" Kage scolded him. Yami simply rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to his drink.
"As I was saying, I needed to get a new job. I had a degree in archeology and could translate hieroglyphs easily enough. So when I came across this piece of text that no one could decipher I read it. Then everyone when wacko, I was fired, became a stewardess and I'm back here." Kage said with a grin.
"What was the curse about?" Yugi asked.
Kage scratched her head thoughtfully. "Hum... Some thing about these seven items with the power to destroy the world and each one having there own separate curse. Then it started talking about the other location where the curse is written... something about where the items were created... a village where a massacre was held. Something like... Karu Eruta. no that's not it... umm... Kuru Eruna. Yes that's it! Kuru Eruna!"
Yugi jumped up and hugged Kage. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Oh thank you Kage! That's the curse! That's the curse!" Yugi said screaming with delight.
"Glad I could help." She smiled.
"Wait!" Yami said slamming his mug on the table. "Didn't that guy in the cloak say it happened when all the items were on the blimp?" Yami said.
"You don't honestly belive that. Egyptians always say that because they think everything you do has a purpose, but in reality you have to read the curse for it to be unleashed. DUH! It's always like that" Kage said, getting up. She shifted her backpack on her back and turned around, her cactaur key chain lighting up. Come to think of it, her backpack was covered in cactaur stuff, even a sign that said, "don't diss the cactaur." And "Cactaur girl, your local super hero." (If you don't know what a cactuar is, it's something from final fantasy, a dancing cactus, in other words.)
"It was nice meeting you two. And Yami, work on your manners, k?" She winked and left waving. "BYE!" She yelled back to them.
"Bye!" Said Yugi with a smile. "She was certainly nice. Don't you agree Yami?" Yugi asked.
Yami just 'humped' and turned away. Yugi shook his head. His Yami was so stubborn.
"Well come on, let's go see Ryou's dad. And don't mention Bakura at all." Yugi said.
"Kay." Yami grumbled.

/On top of spaghetti!
All covered in cheese!
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed!
It rolled off of the table!
And on to the floor!
Don't re-member this part!
And rolled out of the door!"/
Hyakuhei eye twitched. He had had this horrible singing in his head for the past four days and was driving him mad. Bakura had been sing all sorts of songs like found a peanut, the goldfish jingle, reciting quotes from finding Nemo and all sorts of annoying things a six year old would do.
Sigh.
Hyakuhei considered Yami no Bakura as a six year old with an extremely high IQ but with the logic of a psycho, the attention span of a dumb blond, the vocabulary that was as diverse as that of an Oxford University professor's, the attitude of a female on PMS, manners of a pig yet as aloof as a high official, the sanity that resembles Gullom's, as complex as a rubex cube puzzle yet as simple as a piece of white paper, Annoying as a toddler, had a memory that rivaled that of Dory's and made about as much sense as a drunk guy. Yes this 'boy' was highly confusing.
|| Will you shut up already! ||
/ This is the song that never ends! Yes it goes on and on my friends! Some people started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because this is the song that... / Bakura just kept on singing, oblivious to the fact that Hyakuhei was trying to shut him up.
|| STOP IT YOU BRAT! ||
/ ...My friends! Some people started singing it not./ yet again Bakura's horrible singing still rung through his ears. What did this boy want?
|| Why are you doing this! ||
/... Never ends! Yes it goes-Hun what did you say? Sorry I wasn't listening! / Bakura said sheepishly.
|| That's it! || Hyakuhei screamed in his head and barged over to Bakura's soul room door and slammed his fist on it when...
He was slammed into the opposite wall.
(A/n: Now since they are closer, I'll use these: " " instead of these: || || and these: / /. K?)
"What the fuck?" Hyakuhei asked when he slid of the wall. He stared at the door with shock. This boy's mental protections and defenses were mind blowing. Litteraly. It knocked him into a wall, and the wall was cracked now in several places along with a dent where his back hit.
"Ow, damn that hurt." Hyakuhei mumbled in pain. It sure hurt like hell. His head was now throbbing.
Then he heard something. It was soft and childish, full of joy. Laughing, like ringing crystal bells all around him. He saw the door slowly creek open to reveal a boy, no older than six.
The kid stared at him. He stared back. The boy had soft, short white hair to his shoulders. His skin was tan from being in the sun. His eyes were large, mahogany and innocent. The kid tilted his head to the side cutely. Hyakuhei saw the youth's hands clench the door tightly in nervousness and a slight fright.
Who was this kid?
"Who are you?" Hyakuhei asked the small child. The small child shrunk behind the door quickly in fright.
"Mommy told me not to talk to strangers, why should I tell you?" The boy asked, his voice quivering.
"Are you frightened child?" Hyakuhei asked, smirking.
The child came out of the door, to see a man with neat black hair and olive colored skin. His eyes were and olive green colour and he was tall. The child only came up to his stomach.
"No I'm not!" The kid said confidently. "My names Kura! What's yours!"
"Hyakuhei."
"Well Hyakuhei..." The small child hissed, his eyes shadowed by his silver bangs, "Come in... There are many things, 'I' wish to speak to you about..." The child disappeared into the blackness behind the door.
Hyakuhei noticed the change in the child's voice. It sounded older... more cruel and knowing then the childish giggling voice.
He walked through the door into the swirling darkness of the soul room. The closed behind him, blocking all light that was once filtered into the room.
He walked blindly through the darkness until he tripped over something. He fell with a thud to the ground in a hot sticky wetness. A smell now hung in the air like a blanket. It smelled like death.
Suddenly, light came out of nowhere, bright and blinding. He saw red all around him... blood. Blood covered the ground around him. Was he dead? He turned around to see what he had tripped over, but what he saw was not what he expected.
There, lying on the ground was a man with dark tan skin and hair as black as the night. He was lying on his back eyes wide in fear. Sticking out of his stomach was a spear. His face was covered in fresh wounds. On his right arm, a bone protruded through the flesh. He lay in a pool of his own blood. The head fell to the side and Hyakuhei notice the man's dead brown eyes, dead, wide, glassy and always staring at him. He could almost imagine the man's mutilated face breaking out into an insane smile, grinning at him as the blood seeped down his skin.
"What are you doing!" He heard a voice screech at him. He felt him self being dragged away. Soon he was back in the darkness and was flung into a wall. "How could you be so stupid! Wandering into a memory! Have you no respect!" A slap landed on his face.
The soft light of candles soon came and another boy with silvery-white hair faced him. This one was older, 12 or 13 years old. A scar was under his right eye connecting with three others on his upper cheek. The boy scowled at him. "Get up." He commanded. "Were leaving. And stay close. If you wander into another one of my memories man, I will personally show you the way of pain."
Hyakuhei saw the boys face light up in an insane smile. He only just noticed the little boy he had met before, Kura, standing next to the older boy, grinning and giggling insanely while clapping his hands.
Hyakuhei just noticed something after a long time. These boys were Bakura, growing up through the years. Something horrible must have happened in this boy's life to make him this insane...
One thought was running through his head. How was he going to get out of Bakura's soul room before he became part of the boy's growing insanity?
~~~~
Ishtar sat up and held a hand to his head. It was pounding like those annoying drums Malik plays, yeah the ones with the sticks... and the annoying metal thing. What was it called? Sym-something. Anyway his head was pounding.
The last thing he remembered was Bakura going all psycho on him and all these rocks fell... and he didn't remember much after that.
He looked around and saw a big pile of rocks, and behind him a LONG tunnel of never ending darkness and impending doom/horror/trauma that waits at the end.
He could either try to dig his way through the pile of rocks (fat chance on that one...) or he could go down the LONG tunnel of never ending darkness and impending doom/horror/trauma that waits at the end.
Gee, can't wait. Both options are so wonderful.
Well, being a lazy ass he decided to take the LONG tunnel of never ending darkness and impending doom/horror/trauma that waits at the end. Well, he was a Yami; he lived for this kinda stuff. Besides, he didn't want to dig for hours and hours. He had to stop Bakura from... doing whatever he was going to do...
Trying to stop a fellow retired villain who went back in business seemed so weird. I felt like one of the good guys.
He really needed to talk to his lawyers about that.

Kyoko: well that's all I have for this chapter.
Bakura: Lazy ass.
Kyoko: Grrrr...

Yami jumped at her and shook her madly and forcefully. Her head rocked back and forth rapidly. "What curse was it? Tell me!" Yami yelled in her ears, still shaking her.
Yugi stopped Yami from shaking the poor girl and turned to her. "Please, tell us what curse it was and how you unleashed it." He asked he politely. "Don't mind Yami, were kinda dealing with one and our friends are missing-"
"Friend. I don't consider Bakura a friend at all." Yami spat Bakura's name like it was poison.

/ ...My friends! Some people started singing it not./ yet again Bakura's horrible singing still rung through his ears. What did this boy want?
|| Why are you doing this! ||
/... Never ends! Yes it goes-Hun what did you say? Sorry I wasn't listening! / Bakura said sheepishly.
|| That's it! || Hyakuhei screamed in his head and barged over to Bakura's soul room door and slammed his fist on it when...
He was slammed into the opposite wall.
(A/n: Now since they are closer, I'll use these: " " instead of these: || || and these: / /. K?)
"What the fuck?" Hyakuhei asked when he slid of the wall. He stared at the door with shock. This boy's mental protections and defenses were mind blowing. Litteraly. It knocked him into a wall, and the wall was cracked now in several places along with a dent where his back hit.
"Ow, damn that hurt." Hyakuhei mumbled in pain. It sure hurt like hell. His head was now throbbing.
Then he heard something. It was soft and childish, full of joy. Laughing, like ringing crystal bells all around him. He saw the door slowly creek open to reveal a boy, no older than six.
The kid stared at him. He stared back. The boy had soft, short white hair to his shoulders. His skin was tan from being in the sun. His eyes were large, mahogany and innocent. The kid tilted his head to the side cutely. Hyakuhei saw the youth's hands clench the door tightly in nervousness and a slight fright.
Who was this kid?
"Who are you?" Hyakuhei asked the small child. The small child shrunk behind the door quickly in fright.
"Mommy told me not to talk to strangers, why should I tell you?" The boy asked, his voice quivering.
"Are you frightened child?" Hyakuhei asked, smirking.
The child came out of the door, to see a man with neat black hair and olive colored skin. His eyes were and olive green colour and he was tall. The child only came up to his stomach.
"No I'm not!" The kid said confidently. "My names Kura! What's yours!"
"Hyakuhei."
"Well Hyakuhei..." The small child hissed, his eyes shadowed by his silver bangs, "Come in... There are many things, 'I' wish to speak to you about..." The child disappeared into the blackness behind the door.
Hyakuhei noticed the change in the child's voice. It sounded older... more cruel and knowing then the childish giggling voice.
He walked through the door into the swirling darkness of the soul room. The closed behind him, blocking all light that was once filtered into the room.
He walked blindly through the darkness until he tripped over something. He fell with a thud to the ground in a hot sticky wetness. A smell now hung in the air like a blanket. It smelled like death.
Suddenly, light came out of nowhere, bright and blinding. He saw red all around him... blood. Blood covered the ground around him. Was he dead? He turned around to see what he had tripped over, but what he saw was not what he expected.
There, lying on the ground was a man with dark tan skin and hair as black as the night. He was lying on his back eyes wide in fear. Sticking out of his stomach was a spear. His face was covered in fresh wounds. On his right arm, a bone protruded through the flesh. He lay in a pool of his own blood. The head fell to the side and Hyakuhei notice the man's dead brown eyes, dead, wide, glassy and always staring at him. He could almost imagine the man's mutilated face breaking out into an insane smile, grinning at him as the blood seeped down his skin.
"What are you doing!" He heard a voice screech at him. He felt him self being dragged away. Soon he was back in the darkness and was flung into a wall. "How could you be so stupid! Wandering into a memory! Have you no respect!" A slap landed on his face.
The soft light of candles soon came and another boy with silvery-white hair faced him. This one was older, 12 or 13 years old. A scar was under his right eye connecting with three others on his upper cheek. The boy scowled at him. "Get up." He commanded. "Were leaving. And stay close. If you wander into another one of my memories man, I will personally show you the way of pain."
Hyakuhei saw the boys face light up in an insane smile. He only just noticed the little boy he had met before, Kura, standing next to the older boy, grinning and giggling insanely while clapping his hands.
Hyakuhei just noticed something after a long time. These boys were Bakura, growing up through the years. Something horrible must have happened in this boy's life to make him this insane...
One thought was running through his head. How was he going to get out of Bakura's soul room before he became part of the boy's growing insanity?

Ishtar sat up and held a hand to his head. It was pounding like those annoying drums Malik plays, yeah the ones with the sticks... and the annoying metal thing. What was it called? Sym-something. Anyway his head was pounding.
The last thing he remembered was Bakura going all psycho on him and all these rocks fell... and he didn't remember much after that.
He looked around and saw a big pile of rocks, and behind him a LONG tunnel of never ending darkness and impending doom/horror/trauma that waits at the end.
He could either try to dig his way through the pile of rocks (fat chance on that one...) or he could go down the LONG tunnel of never ending darkness and impending doom/horror/trauma that waits at the end.
Gee, can't wait. Both options are so wonderful.
Well, being a lazy ass he decided to take the LONG tunnel of never ending darkness and impending doom/horror/trauma that waits at the end. Well, he was a Yami; he lived for this kinda stuff. Besides, he didn't want to dig for hours and hours. He had to stop Bakura from... doing whatever he was going to do...
Trying to stop a fellow retired villain who went back in business seemed so weird. I felt like one of the good guys.
He really needed to talk to his lawyers about that.
