*Yeah, so this is Part 3, Bakura's Betrayal. Sorry I took a while to get it
typed. I always get a bit of writer's block between chapters. You always
thought Marik and Yami Bakura were friends, huh? Oh, one more thing. I'm
calling the hikari Ryou, and his Yami is Bakura. That covers it, on to the
story! Hope you like it.
Part 3-Bakura's Betrayal
The next day at school, Yugi's friends couldn't concentrate in the least. They all sat sadly in their seats, the scenes from Yugi and Yami's deaths playing endlessly in their heads. Tea burst out crying every time she saw the final scene, where Yami lay unconscious. The others tried their best to console her, but her sorrow was unbreakable. The teacher looked at the hurt expressions in their eyes with a look of wonder. Tristan saw this, stood, and whispered in her ear, "Family Crisis", as the only way to explain it. She nodded and went back to the day's lesson.
A couple rows over, Ryou sat reading a book contently. When he heard Tea's crying, he looked over at her. He listened to her conversation. "Why did Marik have to come along and ruin our fun? What will I do without Yami?." She continued sobbing.
Deep inside of Ryou, Bakura was listening as well. He snickered, "Pathetic mortal.wait, the pharaoh is gone?! Hehe, maybe I can use this to my advantage." Then he realized something, "With out someone to make fun of and attempt to get rid of, what will I do for fun? I can do something about this, however."(A/N: Wait! Did Bakura just say he's gonna save the pharaoh? No, this is not shounen-ai in any way. He just enjoys making fun of Yami and Yugi.)
Ryou looked down at his Millennium Ring. 'I hope my Yami doesn't get me in trouble, like usual.' He thought 'Let me take over, Ryou. I want to talk to Yugi's friends." Bakura said through their mental link Ryou sighed, and reluctantly said, 'OK, but don't get me in trouble and don't kill anyone.' 'Quite on the contrary, Ryou' Bakura replied as the eye on their M. Item glowed. Ryou went to his soul room and his Yami appeared.
Just then, the bell for lunch rang and everyone but Joey, Tristan, Tea Mai, and Serenity left. They sat in the back row, staring around sadly and trying to comfort Tea. Bakura stood and walked towards the crying crew. Joey looked up and realized it was Ryou's evil half. "What do you want, tough guy?" He glared at Bakura Bakura cleared his throat and put on his best good guy voice. "Much to your surprise, I want to help. Yami may have told you that my Millennium Ring has the power to allow it's user entrance to the Shadow Realm, without being harmed. I may be able to bring back Yami." Tea stopped crying. "What did you just say!?" Then she realized who she was talking to. She looked at Joey "This isn't the same Bakura that tried to get rid of Yugi and their last duel is it?" Joey looked a little hesitant as well. "What do you want in return?" he asked when he turned back to the ancient tomb robber. "I want nothing but I can tell you I won't be able to bring back little Yugi. A down side to not having him and Yami around is that I have no one to make fun of and attempt to get rid of. If you want to offer anything in return, a Millennium Item would be nice." He sneered as he replied. Joey still glared at the ancient spirit. Then he thought of something. "Since Yami is a spirit, he needs someone else's body to stay alive, right?" he asked Bakura. "Quite right, Wheeler. You guys can fight it out and see who's body he gets to share." Joey looked around nervously. Bakura smirked. "Think about it. You have until tomorrow after school to make a choice." With that, he turned and walked from the room, Ryou taking over as the door closed behind him. 'I hope you know what you're doing.' He thought-spoke to Bakura, who stayed silent.
Joey stood and then turned to his friends. He had made a decision. "I vote we save Yami!" Tea was reluctant but agreed. Tristan was also nervous but decided to give it a try. One by one, the others nodded. "But who's gonna keep Yami's soul until we get Yugi back?" Tristan wondered out loud. "I will," said Joey "He's my best friend and we've been through so much together. I'm not gonna let him down." He looked determined and Tristan nodded.

In the Shadow Realm, Yami lay against a wall, weakened by Marik, but not entirely defeated. He slowly opened his eyes, but couldn't see. This caught his attention and he opened his eyes wider. The only thing he could see was a purple smog drifting along the ground. He was surrounded by darkness and unimaginable cold. Raising his hand, he realized he could barely see it. Without Yugi as his energy source and the Puzzle's magic, he couldn't stay alive very long, nor could he do anything about it. Despite being Yugi's darker half, the shadows still weakened him.
He looked left, then right. A light shone faintly to the right. 'Might as well go that way' he thought as he stood and turned right. As thought he were in a tunnel, the light was circular. As he got closer, he heard familiar voices and broke into a run. He soon same to a window. He gasped. He was staring down at his friends. Tea was sobbing, Mai and Serenity trying to console her. Joey has a determined look on his face. He then turned to look at the window Yami was looking out of. It was of course invisible to Joey. Yami banged on the glass. "Joey! Can you hear me?! Joey!" Joey's expression was unchanged but he said, "We'll get you back Yugi, I promise." Yami again banged in the window, but seeing that it made no difference, he slumped down next to the window. 'I let my friends down.' he thought sadly, "Joey, thanks for being the best friend I always dreamed of. Tea, please don't forget me. Everyone, I will never forget you." He said, starting to give up hope. He soon fell into an uneasy sleep.
END OF PART 3
*I write great stories, huh? I really enjoy writing sad adventure stories. Don't you worry, Yami will be saved soon! Sorry I'm putting him through so much pain. Like I've said before, I don't hate him in any way. He's actually #2 on my fave character list. Marik is my top fave, but sadly, he'll have to lose in the end. Anyway, I hope you liked this part of the story. Please review and stay tuned for part 4!
