To the centre of the Earth…

Disclaimer: I in no way own Yu-gi-oh or any of its components. I do however own Robin and this original plot.

Noticed something; we are not meant to put ourselves in the plot, however I used my name for my OC. However Robin is nothing like me anymore than the next person is. Anyways; on with the story.

Yugi or Yami? (Thursday night)

Joey and Tristan approached the graveyard with caution. For some reason the street lights were on this time so they were not in the dark. The moon had yet to rise.

As they entered the graveyard they heard singing, of an annoying kind. ("I know a song that will get on your nerves," I'm sure you know of it or its cousins.) Broken with laughter of the giggling kind.

The boys glanced at each other for a moment, what was going on? They advanced towards the noise… surely it was a group of pre-teens on a dare.

What they saw was… strange.

It was the dancer singing, and dancing circles around the three sitting down. She would occasionally jump and twirl, her dancing seems to have no relationship with her singing. She was also tossing her blades carelessly but always seemed to catch them. The boys were hypnotised with this sight for many moments.

Then Joey noticed who one of those sitting down was. "Yugi!" He whispered hoarsely, pointing him out to Tristan. Yugi was curled up with his head down and rocking. What had they done to him?

The witch was making bubbles, which would float around them and above until they popped above Yugi and let out a downpour of water. The empress was giggling at the antics of her sisters and poking Yugi.

"We have to save him." Joey says getting up. Tristan pulls him back down.

"Man, don't you know how dangerous those three are?" Joey just looked at him as if he was mad.

"Tristan, are you crazy? They are acting like children down there. How are they dangerous?"

Tristan stays silent for a moment. "Joey, the only reason we aren't dead right now is because Robin sent us away before the empress could 'play' with us."

Joey sobers up at that thought. "Okay, so we need a plan."

"Yep, and a clever one too."

The boys stare at the group. "Let's just rush them and grab Yugi." They both say at the same time.

So the boys rush the group. Luckily the girls are distracted at that critical moment. The moon begins it's ascent to the sky. This causes much celebration among the girls who greet the moon, each in their own way.

Joey and Tristan grab Yugi, and runs to the exit of the graveyard. "Joey? Tristan? Stop!" Yugi says, only the voice is much deeper than Yugi's. Yami struggles in their grip, trying to slow them, but to no purpose.

Suddenly, bang. They hit the force field and get an electric shock for their troubles, rebounding and falling in a jumble as they were not expecting anything to block their way.

"I told you to stop." Yami says.

"What was that?" Tristan asks.

"That is the thing that's stopping me from leaving." Yami replies in an annoyed voice.

"Then why did we get shocked?" Joey asks, before walking up to the force field with his hands held out. "Why did it go?" He says after passing where he thought the force field was.

"I don't know." The pharaoh says rebelliously. "I can't leave; maybe it doesn't care about you, just as long as you don't try to take me with you."

Tristan finally notices something. "Yugi? Where's the puzzle?"

Yami sinks back down to the floor with this question, "I don't know. Yugi has it. I just got left behind last night."

"Yami?" The Tristan and Joey say at the same time.

"Yes, I'm Yami. No I don't know where Yugi or the puzzle is. And yes I want out of here before the sisters drive me crazy."

Just then they hear a terrible screeching laughter and the street lamps go dead. Yami shudders, "They will start looking for me soon. You have better go before they catch you. Tell Yugi I'm sorry." He takes one last mournful sight at the world beyond the force field and then fades away.

Joey and Tristan share a glance and leave the graveyard. What could they do?

Yugi (Thursday morning)

Yugi was sitting on top a crypt and wondering

1.) How had he gotten there?

2.) Why couldn't he pick up his millennium puzzle?

3.) What were the three silver artefacts?

And 4.) If his hand kept passing through the puzzle would it go through other things?

After a bit of testing Yugi proved to himself that his hand could pass through the roof of the crypt.

Thought five may not have occurred if the Empress had not been watching him. She floated up and sat on the edge of the crypt and had said nothing for several minutes, just watched.

She laughed when he put his hand into the crypt, and Yugi blushed.

"So little sun, if you pass through solid stone how can you sit on it?" She asked.

And thought five occurred. Why wasn't he falling? And with the thought came the deed. He was falling. Into the burial chamber and beyond.

Down and down he fell, until he hit the force field, and the spell came into effect. He found himself back on top of the crypt, above the puzzle. But he was still falling.

And that is how Yugi spent his day, falling and being teleported. Until the sun went down and the force field let him pass through.

Down and down he went, pass the mantle, through the liquid outer core and right into the middle of the inner core. It was very hot and dark and he was quickly motion sick from lack of motion.

Poor Yugi.

I always wanted to write a story about a newbie ghost, it always occurred to me that if a ghost wasn't bound by the solidity of solids why did they walk the earth?
