One hour later, Sabrina and the others were on their way to Domino City Square. Sabrina's mind whirled. She was scared. Monsters kept popping up everywhere and as each minute passed the reverse tornado in the sky got bigger. Not only that, but she was afraid of having to face Bakura again, but if she didn't get there in time she was even more frightened of what might happen to Ryou. Domino City Square came into view and she gasped. There was Ryou, still tied to the telephone pole, with his head resting against his chest. "Ryou!" She cried and put on a burst of speed. She reached her friend first and looked him over. His jacket and pants were bloodstained and torn. His bangs hid his eyes from her view and she knelt down a little to try and see.
Yami didn't like this. It was too easy. Surely Bakura had a trap waiting for them. Suddenly, a strange sensation went through him and he gasped. "Sabrina!" he shouted, "Watch out! That's not Ryou!"
"What?" Sabrina asked and turned toward Yami. A chuckle from behind her had her spinning back around.
"You know he's right, Sabrina." Bakura said and lifted his head to look her in the eye. "I'm not your little biyfriend Ryou." Sabrina gasped and stumbled backward when she saw his eyes. She lost her balance on the curb and fell to the road. Bakura smirked and pulled away from the telephone pole revealing that the ropes had only been held in his hands.
"Where...where's Ryou!" Sabrina ordered.
"I'd be more worried about myself, girl." Bakura answered while stalking toward her. The rest of the gang hung back, afraid to try and do anything because he was so close to Sabrina.
"Bakura! Leave her alone!" Yami commanded, but Bakura paid the pharaoh no heed. He sensed the fear coming from him. Suddenly, a moan from a nearby alley drew his attention.
Ryou stumbled out of the alley wearing Bakura's striped shirt and trench coat and holding his head in one hand. The other was braced against building for support. "Ryou!" Yugi exclaimed.
At his friend's voice, Ryou looked up."Yugi?" he asked dazedly and then gasped when his memory came hurtling back. His attention was immediately drawn to Sabrina. Bakura towered over her like a terrible monster about to pounce.
Sabrina tried to crabwalk away from Bakura, but his eyes, locked on hers, froze her in place. "I wasn't prepared last time," he told her, "but now that I know you can get into my mind I'm ready for you. I don't understand how you were able to infiltrate my thoughts like you did, but I assure you it won't happen again. The Millenium Ring materialized through his shirt and started to glow. Ryou gasped.
He couldn't let this happen."No! Leave her alone!" he shouted and ran forward.
He almost made it to Sabrina when Bakura glared at him."You fool!" A high pitch ring echoed through the air and Ryou stopped where he was. He could feel energy going through him again and tried to fight it, but it was no use. The energy from the Ring lifted him from the ground and sent him flying backward. He crashed into Yugi and both boysflew back another two feet before finally hitting the street. Bakura smirked with satisfaction and turned back to Sabrina. "You won't escape this time." The Millenium Ring glowed brighter, "The Shadow Realm awaits!"
