BAKURA: THE LORD OF THE RING.

(DISCLAIMER: YU-GI-OH IS NOT MY PROPERTY, IF IT WAS DO YOU THINK I'D BE WRITING THIS AS A FAN FICTION INSTEAD OF A SHOW, SORRY I'M RANTING, ON WITH THE STORY)

CHAPTER TWO

(A/N: Thank you for the reviews, I know that Yugi's too happy, but I just wasn't in my normal writing space. Also thank you for the more detail suggestion, I've only written three fan fiction stories. And no, this was not supposed to be funny, I had a little humor to try and balance things out.)

Ryou was lying in bed, his Yami had done internal damage and he was to be operated on the next day, it had been a long day and he was tired out, so he closed his eyes and began to sleep.

Ryou found himself surrounded by a purple and black fog; it looked like the shadow realm. He was walking through the realm; many monsters tried to attack him until they looked at the millennium ring around his neck. The white haired boy kept walking until he saw a pyramid with a light shining out of it, the light hit the ring and Ryou blacked out.

Yami Bakura was remembering the moment he learned of taking the body of his host over.

It started when some light on top of the pyramid in the shadow realm hit the ring, Ryou blacked out and Yami Bakura took over. The light pulled him into the pyramid, he remembered seeing the yellow point of the pyramid come closer and closer, suddenly he was pulled through a large gaping hole in the top of the building.

He landed rather painfully on the floor of the first chamber of the pyramid. Yami Bakura stood up and rubbed his back. The Tomb Robber looked around the tomb. He saw a set of stairs leading down, and he saw hieroglyphics on the wall of the ancient structure.

The hieroglyphics told the tale of the legend of the Yami's. It told of a king (A/N: My spell check doesn't have phaero SP? in it.) Who learned of a great conspiracy from a tomb robber who hoped to save his skin by telling the king. The king ruled over the realm of shadows where monsters used for ancient wars lived, or existed. This realm also had a great magic that would allow the king and those who were still good and righteous. There was a priest, The king, The only advisor to remain loyal to the king, a man who was then the leader of the magi, (A/N an army that fights to keep the king safe kind of like the musketeers in the French empire) an oracle, The queen, and the tomb robber was also allowed to be saved due to his exhibit of "Loyalty." The king made items that were to keep each of these people who remained loyal to the king safe. A ring with arrows that pointed to magical items, for the tomb robber. A necklace that could tell the future and see into the past for the queen. A key that could show you the secrets of a persons mind and soul for the leader of the Magi. An eye that could read minds for the oracle. A rod that could control minds for the priest. A scale that could tell when some one was being dishonest or immoral for his advisor. And last but not least a puzzle that would amplify strategic skill for the king.

These seven people were in a chamber, a Magi who was part of the conspiracy was standing outside the kings door waiting to kill him. The advisor had heard something outside the room. He pulled open the door to reveal… Malik the second head of the Magi, and he was holding a knife in his hand ready to kill the king. The king heard his advisor Jounouchi exclaim, turned around and saw the would be assassin Malik glaring at him. He cast a shadow spell on Malik, trapping him in the knife, for eternity until he was able to acquire a host, and then he would only be able to roam the earth when that host suffered supreme pain, either physical or emotional.

Yami Backura stared at the ancient writing; he now knew some of his history.

He kept going down and saw how the legend continued with the knife being used in multiple magi initiation tests, the key being found in a cave along with all the other items by a man named Shadi.

Shadi protected the items for many years, until he died in the year 1897. He had met Yami Shadi when he found the key. Yami Shadi had been Shadi's closest and only companion while he had been protecting the items. Yami Shadi learned of a secret he would never impart to anyone but the king. The secret was: The fate of a Yami (That was the name of the king and the organization of those loyal to him and the tomb robber were called Yamis) was not tied to that of its host, if the host dies the Yami may remain in the body.

Suddenly the Yami Backura blacked out. Ryou suddenly had a deep feeling of dread and he screamed loudly. The door flew open; Tristan and Joey had thrown their full weight against the door.
