CHAPTER 2

"The Battôsai's Return"

A FEW HOURS LATER

Yugi was released from the hospital. Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yugi disappeared and reappeared in the Kame Game Shop. Yami appeared in spirit form frowning worriedly at Yugi.

'Yugi, why did you come here? You know your grandpa is in Bufflo, New York.' Yami thought to Yugi.

'That's the point.' Yugi thought to Yami.

Then Yami noticed Yugi's eyes were red. Yami stepped back in shock.

'What the...'

Yugi walked past Yami and climbed into the attic. Yugi approached a sword sitting on a small table in the middle of the room.

'WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON, YUGI!' Yami thought to Yugi.

Yugi grasped the sword.

'The return of Battôsai the Manslayer is what's going on.' Yugi thought to Yami.

'Oh no.' Yami thought to Yugi.

'Oh yes.' Yugi thought to Yami.

'This can't be happening.' Yami thought to Yugi.

'Oh, it is.' Yugi thought to Yami.

'DAMMIT!' Yami thought to Yugi.

Yugi put on a ninja suit with a ninja mask. Then Yugi jumped on to the roof on the front of the Kame Game Shop, then jumped to the next building and continued through the city like this until he came acrossed a family reunion at the park and massacred everyone and disappears into the woods outside of Domino. Then there was a bright flash next to Joey and Yami appeared in spirit form next to him.

"Joey, we have a problem." Yami said.

Joey turned to face Yami.

'Like what?' Joey thought to Yami

'Battôsai the manslayer is back.' Yami thought to Joey.

Joey's eyes widen. Gramps walked in.

"No, dis is so bad. Kenshin and I never dought it would happen again after Kenshin learned da Hiten Mushôruke style's ultamate attack. Da only people he can hear or know is even nearby as Battôsai are people who lived through da revalotion, if only Saito Hajime, and Oyaochi Shinamori were alive again." Joey said.

"Saitô Hajime has been reborn, I don't know wether or not Oyaochi was." Gramps said.

"How do ya know?" Joey asked.

"About 140 years ago I was Saitô Hajime." Gramps said.

"We need to get back to Domino, now!" Joey exclaimed.

"Why?" Gramps asked.

"The Battôsai's back and in Domino." Joey said.

"So why go there, if the Battôsai's there." Gramps said.

"Yug, never told you?" Joey asked.

"Told me what?" Gramps asked in confusion.

"Yugi's the reincarnation of Kenshin Himura." Joey said.

"What! But, then that means..."

Ryou walked in.

"I KNOW WE GOTTA GO BACK TA DOMINO NOW!" Joey shouted cutting off Gramps.

"What's going on, Joey?" Ryou asked in confusion.

"Something terrible has happened in Domino and we need to get there now." Gramps said.

"What happened?" Ryou asked.

"It's Yug." Joey said sadly.

"What about, Yugi!" Ryou demanded.

"Unfogently he's returned to the mind set of Battôsai the manslayer." Gramps said.

'Let me take over. I can get us there quickly.' Bakura thought to Ryou.

'OK.' Ryou thought to Bakura.

Then the Millennium Ring flashed and Bakura took control over from Ryou.

"I can get us to Domino, in a split second." Bakura said.

"Good." Gramps said.

Then the Millennium Ring flashed and the trio disappeared from the hotelroom and reappeared in the Domino woods behind Kenshin. Unnoticed by anyone Gramps's normally amethyst eyes were now black.

"KENSHIN!" Saitô shouted.

Kenshin turned around and smirked.

"Why if it isn't Saitô Hajime?" Kenshin asked coldly.

"I can not allow you to become a Battôsai again." Saitô said.

Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami took a physical form.

"Neither can I." Yami said.

Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Kenshin fell to his knees. Then Kenshin looked up at Yami who had walked over, and was standing over him, Yami looked down at Kenshin with a Sennen Eye on his forehead. Kenshin's eyes flashed from red to blue to purple and back to red. It continued like this for ten minutes, before it finally stopped on purple.

'Yami, what happened?' Yugi thought to Yami.

'You turned into the Battôsai.' Yami thought to Yugi.

'Oh no.' Yugi thought to Yami.

'Yugi, I'm just glad you're back to normal.' Yami thought to Yugi.

'I know.' Yugi thought to Yami.

'What is it?' Yami thought to Yugi.

'Nevermind, brother.' Yugi thought to Yami.

'He may decide to become a wanderer again.' Saitô thought.

Saitô blinked as his eyes turned amethyst and Gramps was back. Gramps blinked in confusion.

'Joey, do you have any idea what's going on?' Yami thought to Joey.

'I dink he may become a wanderer again.' Joey thought to Yami.

'I hope not.' Yami thought to Joey.

'Me too.' Joey thought to Yami.

'There has to be away to prevent it.' Yami thought to Joey.

'I'm not sure if there is.' Joey thought to Yami.

'There has to be.' Yami thought to Joey.

'We'll think of one.' Joey thought to Yami.

'Good. But, I hope we think of one in time.' Yami thought to Joey.

'I'm sure we will.' Joey thought to Yami.

Yugi started walking backwards away from his grandpa.

"Yugi, please don't leave. I already lost your father, I couldn't bear to lose you too." Gramps pled.

'What's going on?' Ryou thought to Bakura.

'Yugi's thinking of leaving.' Bakura thought to Ryou.

'What he can't?' Ryou thought to Bakura.

Yugi frowned and stopped.

"Grandpa?" Yugi asked.

"I..."

"I know. But, you were just weak from that surjury yesterday." Gramps said cutting off Yugi.

"He's right." Joey said.

"Yugi, litsen to them." Bakura pled.

Yugi sighed.

"OK." Yugi said.

Yami sighed in relieve.

'Thank goodness, you're staying.' Yami thought to Yugi.

'I'm scared, Yami.' Yugi thought to Yami.

'I know.' Yami thought to Yugi.

"Yugi, let's go back to the Kame Game Shop." Gramps said.

Yugi nodded and walked over to Gramps.

"Later, Joey, Bakura." Yugi said.

Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yugi and Gramps disappeared and reappeared in the Kame Game Shop.

"Here." Yugi said handing the sword back to Gramps.

Gramps took it. And frowned.

'I won't let you revert back to the Battôsai ever.' Yami thought to Yugi.

'Good. Yami, I'm wondering why grandpa was so willing to stand up against Himura the Battôsai.' Yugi thought to Yami.

'When you were the Battôsai you called him Saitô Hajime.' Yami thought to Yugi.

'Did you say Saitô Hajime?' Yugi thought to Yami.

'Yes.' Yami thought to Yugi.

'Well, that explains it.' Yugi thought to Yami.

'How so?' Yami thought to Yugi.

'Saitô Hajime was an alley of mine during the revolution.' Yugi thought to Yami.

'Really?' Yami thought to Yugi.

'Yes.' Yugi thought to Yami.

'Now I understand.' Yami thought to Yugi.

'Good.' Yugi thought to Yami.

Yugi gasped sensing someone was about to attack. Then a figure emerged from the shadow and attacked Yugi. Yugi dodged it.

"Himura, you can not possibly beat me as you are. Your only chance is to become the Battôsai again." The figure said.

Yugi glared at the figure. Then the figure started to leave.

"SHISHIO!" Yugi shouted in anger.

Shishio stopped and turned to face him.

"If you remember me then you know I speak the truth." Shishio said and disappeared.

'Are you alright?' Yami thought to Yugi.

'I'm fine, Yami.' Yugi thought to Yami.

'Who was that?' Yami thought to Yugi.

'Makato Shishio.' Yugi thought to Yami.

'Really?' Yami thought to Yugi.

'Yes.' Yugi thought to Yami.

'This could be bad.' Yami thought to Yugi.

'I agree.' Yugi thought to Yami.

Yugi walked over to his bed and layed down. Yugi was breathing heavyly.

'Yugi?' Yami thought to Yugi.

'I'm so tired.' Yugi thought to Yami.

Then Yugi closed his eyes, and seemed to fall asleep.

'I have a bad feeling about this suddennly.' Yami thought to himself.

'YUGI!' Yami thought to Yugi.

Yugi didn't react.
