Yugi blinked a few times. His head throbbed. 'Where..am..I?' he thought. He couldn't make out his surrondings. All he knew it was dark and shadowy. Almost like... Yugi shot up from where he was sitting. He quickly gazed around. He was alone.
"H-H-Hello?" he chocked out. His voice was hoarse. After no one came, he got up. The air was thick and it was hard for him to breathe. He stumbled a few steps before he was able to walk properly. After wandering around aimlessly without knowing where he was at, he gave up and fell back down to the ground, starting to cry. "No one is here!" he screamed. "No one can save me.." Then his thoughts wandered to Ryou and Malik. Were they okay? Were they in the same position as him? Were they together? But then, he thought about Yami.
"Is he going to save me? Does he even know were am I at? Wait...I don't even know where I'm at! I'm hopeless!" Yugi cried to himself.
"No, you aren't," a soft female voice said.
"Who's there?" Yugi asked, shooting up from where he was sitting and looking around. "Where are you?"
"That isn't nessicary at the momment."
"Yes it is! It's completely-"
"Shhh...Yugi. Be silent and listen." Yugi stopped his questioning and listen to what this unseen girl had to say. "You are not in your normal world."
"I know that!"
"You're mind had been poisened and sent to the Shadow Realm."
"How?"
"Yugi, please, I'm trying to help you."
"Sorry..."
"But it is only temporary. If you can find what you desire the most."
"I know that! I want to get back to my life!"
"Are you sure? Did you give that any thought?" Yugi was getting impateint. This girl wasn't making any sense. And Yugi didn't like the fact that he was imprisioned in the Shadow Realm and this person was making him wait and think about how to get out. He wasn't enjoying this.
"Of course I gave it thought! And how can I find the way out if I don't even know how to get out?" Yugi asked in an impainent tone.
"Well, maybe that's not the anwser!" the girl said with the same tone.
"...I'm confused."
"Okay then...Think back a long time ago," the girl said. Yugi started thinking. "Not too long ago, but awhile. Before Kurai, Ryuu, and Tamasii had came."
"Oka- Wait, who?"
"...Just who I said. Before they came."
"I know a Ryou, but who are the others?"
"Not Ryou as in your friend. Ryuu spelt R-Y-U-U."
"Oh...Who's he? And the other two, Kury and Tama-something." The girl sighed. She mummbled something inaudbile. "Can you come out now?" Yugi asked.
"I don't want to!" the girl said.
"Go!" a male voice said. "Now!"
"But-"
"Please?"
"Fiinnneee." Adark light went off and a girl who looked about eighteen with shoulder length brown hair and warm green eyes stood. She had a one piece dress white that was slightly short.
"Ehh...Who are you?" Yugi asked.
"Nevermi-" the girl started, but the male voice interutpred her.
"She's Mana and I'm Mahhado but that doesn't matter," he said. "Keep talking, Mana!" Mana rolled her emerald eyes.
"Ooookaaaayyy master!" she said sarcastiaclly. "You know the three guys with spikey hair that's diffrent colours for all of them?"
"You mean Yuko, Basil, and Manik?" Yugi said, thinking he was catching on now.
"Yes! You got it!" Mana did a little dance and clapped a few times.
"But Basil is Tamasii, Yuko is Ryuu, and Manik is Kurai," Mahhado said.
"Why aren't you coming out?" Mana asked.
"Because I don't want to." She slapped herself in the forhead. She mummbled something else.
"Wait!" Yugi said suddenly. "Where's Malik and Ryou as in R-Y-O-U?"
"They're fine," Mana said. "Come to think of it, they're probably half way back..."
"How do I get back?" Yugi asked.
"That's what I've been trying to tell you for the past twenty minutes! You have to think of what you desire most and the place you want to be with that thing!"
"...You left the last part out last time."
"Does it matter!"
"She gets frustrated easy ever since we got here," Mahhado said. Mana looked up and glared.
"Don't make me come up...in...go...whatever! There!" Mana shouted. Yugi started thinking. 'What do I desire most?' he thought. His eyes slowly glazed over. Then, it slowly went black...
Flashback
"Yami! Look over there!" Yugi said, pointing to a sakura tree that seemed to be right under the sunset. "It's so pretty!"
"Yes it is," Yami agreed. Yugi giggled a little and ran towards the tree. Before they knew it, they were sitting on the bench under it, right by each other. The blossoms fell around them slightly. Yugi sighed sadly.
"Is something wrong?" Yami asked, staring at Yugi with concern.
"No..well..yes," Yugi said, looking forward.
"What?"
"I...I don't..can't tell you."
"You can tell me anything, aibou."
"Well..ano..I, uh...Gee, how do I say this..."
"Just say it. That's what I would do."
"I-I-I-I...love...you."
Flashback end
Yugi woke up. Mana and Mahhado were still fighting. Yugi got up.
"Okay! I know the anwser to my question!" he said, interupting them.
"Oh?" Mana said. "What?"
"Yami!" Yugi said.
"Yes! You got it!" Mana said.
"Why didn't you just tell me that?"
"...It wouldn't work. Now, think of him and of the place you want to be right now. Lay down, close your eyes, and think hard." Yugi did as told. He closed his eys. 'I want to be with Yami...Where?' He kept thinking. Where would he want to be with Yami? 'I want to be with Yami in his arms...' A bright light blinded him. Well, it was supposed to be bright. It was bright to him because he had been in the Shadow Realm. Yugi sat up. He was in a car. Ryou and Malik were in it too. and they looked just as confused as him.
"Did you have a weird dream about some girl talking-" Malik started, but Yugi nodded.
"And it wasn't a dream," Yugi said. Ryou pointed over to the house.
"I think they're in there," he said.
"Let's go then!" Malik said, getting out of the car. They ran to the house.
Mana: Cliffie!
Lindsey: YOU IDIOT!

Leila: I HATE CLIFFIES!
