"Those tire tracks zigzag your torso like a devil's self portait," Yuko sang.
"The car accident," Basil and Manik sang in a really high voice. "The skin graft treatment, the flower baskets, the wincing relatives!"
"You bid him farewell then got in your car. And that's the last thing that you can recal."
"And when they pulled you out, you didn't no your name. Exploding semi truck blurred your face aflame!" Now Malik had joined into the song. Yugi was laughing at the way the sounded and Ryou was trying to tell them that the song wasn't exactly a good choice...Especially in a car. But they didn't listen. He had crossed his arms and was about to start to pout, when he noticed they weren't on the way to the arcade anymore.
"Uhh...Basil? Were are we going?" Ryou asked. Basil and the others immidiatly fell silent. Yugi and Malik looked out the windows.
"Yeah..I thought you said you knew the way to the arcade," Yugi said. "You turned at the wrong street."
"It's..ano...A diffrent arcade," Basil said, fumbling with words.
"What's it called?" Malik asked.
"Iiieeahh dun remeber," Manik said. "It was ahh...really long name..."
"Oh," all three of the hikaries/pures said in unison. But Ryou still had a weird feeling about this. Yuko looked over and Basil and gave him an inquiering look. He nodded. After a few turns on the street. Before they knew it, they were in an alley.
"Ahhhh...Where ARE we?" Malik asked. Yuko mummbled something really fast and quiet. A few strings of what look like Shadows flew out from nowhere(Or maybe the Shadow Realm. What's the diffrence?) And seemed to open an imaginary door. Not to mention, some blocked the front of the alley. The dark yamies got ot of the car and proceded to drag their respective Pure out.
"Hey! What are you doing!" Yugi screamed.
"Let me go! Manik!" Malik said, starting to struggle out of Manik's graps.
"Stop trying to get away," Basil said, easily holding Ryou back. "No one can hear or see you."
"Why are you doing this!" Ryou cried. Yugi started trying to get a mind link. Yuko, noticing this, grabbed the Puzzle from Yugi's neck.
"Hey!" Yugi cried. Basil and Manik had taken the Items from their Pures also.
"What the heck are you doing!" Malik screamed. But the three Darks ignored them and dragged them into the doors.

Yami was sitting on the couch, feeling bored out his mind. Yugi and Yuko had left, and he didn't feel like calling Bakura or Marik. Plus, they were probably out wrecking havoc in the town anyway. If Yami knew anything about the two others, you never put them in the same room and leave them alone. They will come up with some awful plan and try to kill you. Yami found that out the hard way. But his thoughts were intterupted by a wave of fear coming from his mind-link. (Yami to hikari Hikari to Yami)
Yugi! Are you alright?
Hello! You there? Yami was now starting to fret. Yugi never ignored the mind-link calls, not matter what. He knew that Bakura and Marik's dark and hikaries had gone out too, so maybe they knew something. Yami rushed over to the phone and called Bakura.
"What do you want?" Bakura asked over the phone.
"You're social skills need work," Yami commented. "But that's not why I called you."
"Why did you call me?"
"I just go a trace of fear from the mind-link connection I have with Yugi, but he won't awnser me."
"I just go one too!(insert long silence here) Ra curse it! He's ignoring me again!"
"No, he isn't! Somethings happened to them and we can't reach them."
"But isn't that like...impossible or something?"
"No! Now meet me at the park! Now!" And with that Yami slammed the phone down and took off out of the house. He and Bakura both got there at the same time. They started jogging down the street, not knowing where to go. Bakura started looking around.
"If only Ryou hadn't taken the Ring!" he said to obsoulutley no one.
"But then you wouldn't have known he was in trouble," Yami pointed out.
"...Shaddup, smart a-"
"What are you guys doing over here?" They both turned and saw Marik, leaning up against the wall.
"Looking for our hikaries that seemed to be abducted by those crazy yami dark things," Bakura said.
"Well, what do you know!" Marik said, clasping his hands together. "We're looking for the same thing!"
"You..lost your hikari also?" Yami asked. Marik nodded. He turned to look another way, but then his eyes got huge.
"Is it must me...or are there a mass of Shadows over there?" he asked, pointing to an alleyway.
"Holy crap!" Bakura and Yami said in unison, but then glared at each other.
"I guess whoever made them made them so no one would see them," Yami said, looking at the people who just passes the Shadows, not even noticing them.
"That would means we can't get in," Marik said. Bakura growled and walked over to the Shadows.
"There has to be a way!" he said, inspecting the Shadows. 'Because I can't let Basil hurt Ryou,' he thought. Marik and Yami joined him.

Basil, Yuko, and Manik had gotten Ryou, Yugi, and Malik into a dark room. They threw them down on the floor and had the door locked, even though no one would be able to get in anyway. The floor was stone and so was the walls. The room was empty besides some torches on the wall and some candles. It was dusty and the air was thick.
"WHY did you bring us HERE!" Malik asked, completltly steamed.
"For many, many reasons," Yuko said. He snapped his fingers and a dark whole of Shadows opened up. Inside was nothing but darkness and what sounded like howling winds. Basil, Manik, and Yuko still held the Millenium Items.
"'Ey guys," Manik said, running his finger along the Rod. "I wonder what would happen if we threw these into the Shadow Realm?"
"Only one way to find out!" Basil said.
"Don't!" Ryou screamed. Yuko smiled evilly.
"You wanna try to stop us?" he asked.
"You'll pay for brining us here!" Yugi said acusingly. "Yami, Bakura, and Marik will kill you!"
"We can't die," the three yami darks said in unison.
"...They can still try," Malik said.
"Hmm..Don't worry, once they see your dead, they won't be too worried about what happens to these," Manik said.
"We aren't dead," Ryou said. But then he paled. "You aren't going to kill us...are you?"
"Of course not," Basil said. He pulled out three small glass cups that had a dark red liquid in it, balancing them on his fingers. "Just going to make you seem dead and keep you that way forever." Malik smirked.
"You're going to have to make us drink that, you know," he said. "And you can't catch us."
"Wanna bet?" Manik asked, pulling out the Rod. "Don't think I don't know how to use this."
"Or, if you don't go willingly, we can just dispose of your yamies to the Shadow Realm," Basil said.
"Don't hurt them, please!" Ryou cried.
"They didn't do anything to you," Yugi said. "Why do you want to do this so badly?"
"You'll find out in the Shadow Realm," Yuko said. Somehow, the yami darks were able to get the red liquids down the throats of the hikaries.
"Ow..my..head..." Yugi moaned.
"Have..to stay...awake..." Malik whispered, but slowly fainted along with Yugi.
"Bakura..." Ryou whispered. 'Don't think I'm gone,' he thought right before he too fainted.
"Aren't they just melodramatic?" Yuko said. Suddenly, someone started pounding on the door.
"Looks like they found a way in," Basil said.
"Let's put on our act," Manik said. The three headed off to a backdoor and awaited the yamies to enter. 'It's only a small amount of time,' Yuko thought, grinning sadistacly.
