Enter the darkness
Hi, I do have another story on this site called Key to the shadows but I am being attacked by lots of different plot bunnies. Must write. Do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!

"So it was you! You inhabited the millennium ring with Bakura?" Ryou asked. Zork laughed.
"That was the deal however when the yamis were freed I did not have enough power to survive without the life force from my hikari so I stayed."
"Your hikari? I thought I was Bakura's hikari." Ryou said confused. Once again Zork snickered.
"That's what he would like to think. I was originally the one for the ring however my end of the deal was that he could share the item with me." Zork explained. "However that snake didn't keep his half of the bargain. He was meant to take the millennium puzzle in this time zone yet he goes back 5000 years ago to try and steal it and he still doesn't have it! He may have come close but close doesn't cut it!"
"So why did you bring us here?" Ryou asked looking at the shadows. In the background Yugi trembled with fear, Joey stood next to Yugi equally afraid and Malik was watching, preparing to pounce on Zork the dark one if he tried to even touch Ryou, his Ryou.
"Why did I bring all of you here?" Zork mimicked.
"Yes. Why?" Zork snickered sadistically.
"I brought you all here to show you all what I own."
"Is that some kind of sick riddle?" Malik shouted angrily.
Zork snickered once more. "The snake has more than he should whereas I could have what I want with one pawn but he needs six more than he has access to."
Yugi and Joey were clueless and Malik's anger was building. Ryou was scared of what Zork meant and wasn't sure if he wanted to know what Zork was talking about.
"The snake has access to one so elegant yet dark and powerful and doesn't use it!" As he spoke a shadowed claw lifted Ryou chin so that Ryou's light eyes met Zork's yellow ones. Ryou took a step back and out of Zork's glare.
"Why do you refer to Bakura as 'the snake'?" Ryou asked. They could hear snickering from behind them.
" 'The snake'? Is that my old friend Zork?" Bakura said as he moved towards the action.
"Stay back!" Zork warned. "You didn't keep your half of the deal! Now I'm taking what is rightfully mine!" He growled.
"Just try to dispose of me that easily!" Bakura hissed. Zork waved his right hand and drew a shape in the air with a single claw and muttered some words and within moments Bakura was thrown out of the shadows.
"Simple. Now back to my light." Zork said turning back to Ryou. "What was I saying? Oh yes, power! Hikari you have a lot of power hidden away but that will change soon, and I know how to do it!" Zork whispered. He raised a claw to the air and a bolt of thunder came down on Joey. He called out in pain and fell unconscious. Yugi caught him and Ryou tried to rush over to his friend but Zork had a tight grip of Ryou's wrist, not letting him move. Malik lashed out and Zork before also being hit by thunder.
"No! What have you done Zork?" Ryou asked urgently.
"I have only knocked them out and only one remains standing... but for how long?" Zork said in the I-could-get-him-but-there-could-be-something-you-can-do-to-stop-me tone.
"No...Please, don't." Ryou pleaded.
"There is one way around this dilemma." Zork said coolly.
"What? How?" Ryou asked.
"Come with me."
"Pardon?" Ryou said confused.
"Come with me for a while. I have a few ideas," He said. Ryou thought about and, despite Yugi's pleas to say no said yes. Zork smiled sadistically and whispered perfect...
