Chapter 9: The Shadow Game
"Yami," Bakura laughed, "you fell right into my trap! And when I finish you off, I'll take the Millennium Puzzle…" he paused and looked at Chihiro, still unconscious from her blow, and grinned, revealing his inhuman fangs.
"As well as," he continued, "her Millennium Medallion!" Yami slanted his eyes and gritted his teeth.
"Now," Bakura instructed, "the rules for this shadow game are simple. Yugi is going to receive two Duel Monster cards face-down per turn. All cards will be monster cards. He may not look at the cards until I, the game master, say, 'flip first cards.' He then reveals the first card. After that, I'll say, 'flip second cards.' If his monsters' stars are the highest total, then he wins the round."
"And just what happens to the looser?" Yami asked. Bakura grinned.
"If," he explained, "if he looses the round, then one of his little friends' souls will materialize on his side of the table, however betting his yami is illegal. If his opponent bets their own soul, then he must do the same, and if he wins, you are all free to go, however if he looses, then you all will be trapped in the shadow realm forever!" As Bakura laughed, his eyes sparkled with pleasure and joy, as if this was all a joke to him. Yami growled, and then looked at his little hikari.
"And are you Yugi's opponent?" the pharaoh asked in between his teeth. Bakura smiled, revealing his shining fanglike teeth.
"No," he pleasurably said, "his opponent, will be him!" When Bakura pointed into the darkness, a circle of light appeared, revealing Yugi's opponent. When he turned around, revealing his face, Yugi's eyes grew huge from disbelief.
"Bakura," Yami yowled with anger, "this is inhumane! How could any person have the heart to do this?!" Yugi's body began shaking from both shock and fury, and shouted one word: "Ryo!"
Ryo looked at Yugi with his cold, emotionless brown eyes.
"Bakura," Yami shouted, "you want us to use our hikaris like fighting dogs? That's madness!"
"Not madness," Bakura corrected, "it's genus! Why should I let you go down willingly, when I can make you squirm?" Ryo walked over to the playing table, revealed by another small light, and sat down on the left side.
"Come play with me, Yugi," Ryo smiled in an eerie voice.
"B-but," the young hikari stumbled with fear, "I-I can't…"
"You don't have a choice," Bakura shouted with pleasure, "if you refuse, then I'll just kill you right where you're standing with this knife." Yugi took a step back, and then sighed.
"Fine Bakura," Yugi mumbled, "I give in. I'll play your twisted game."
"What," Yami looked at his precious hikari with shock, "you can't be serious! If I lost you, I don't know what I'd do." Bakura smiled. Well, I'm getting much more fun out of this then I expected.
Yugi took his seat across the table from Ryo. Yami stood next to Yugi as Bakura placed 40 cards for each player on the table. Then he took his spot behind Ryo.
"Draw your cards," Bakura ordered. Ryo drew the first two cards on top of his deck, and Yugi drew his.
"You can go first," Ryo offered.
"Alright," Yugi answered, "and so none of my friends get hurt, I'll bet my soul right now!" Ryo's eyes grew a little from surprise, and then they returned to their normal size. He nodded.
"Fine," Ryo agreed, "then I'll have to bet mine as well." Bakura slanted his eyes. Yami looked at Yugi with fear in his eyes.
"What are you saying," Yami whispered in Yugi's ear, "if you loose, then…"
"Don't worry," Yugi assured, "I won't loose!"
"Reveal you first cards," Bakura ordered. Ryo flipped over his card, which was the Gravekeeper's Spy, a four-starred monster. Yugi's hand shook as he revealed his first card. To his relief, it was the Dungeon Worm, a five-starred monster. He sighed with gratitude.
"Remember," Ryo said in his creepy voice, "it all adds up with the second card."
"Reveal your second cards," Bakura continued. With confidence, Yugi showed his second card, the Dark Magician.
"Alright," Yami praised, "excellent job!"
"Don't get so excited," Ryo reminded, "I haven't revealed my card yet." Ryo reached out to his card. As he flipped it over, Yugi's flame of confidence was extinguished by shock and disbelief.
"My card," Ryo announced, "is Blue-eyes Ultimate Dragon."
"No," Yami cried, "Bakura! You monster!" Bakura stared right into Yami's upset and angry eyes, and laughed.
"Sorry," Bakura explained, "but he lost the shadow game. So now he'll be gone from you… forever!"
"No," Yami yowled, "No! Yugi!" As the darkness lifted, the little hikari's soul faded away, tearing.
"I'm sorry," his voice whispered before he disappeared with the empty blackness. Yami yowled as if his heart had been ripped out of his chest, and then fell to his knees. He looked at Bakura. The white-haired yami revealed no sign of guilt or regret. Yami barred his teeth like an angry animal.
"You," he growled at Bakura, "You!" He got up and ran towards his greatest enemy, the one who had permanently separated him from his precious hikari.
"He was innocent, Bakura," Yami yelled, "innocent! I'm going to…" His words were cut off when a foot slammed into his stomach. He looked up, but to his surprise, it wasn't Bakura. It was a woman with black hair and blue eyes.
"Ch-Chihiro?" Yami croaked. The woman grinned, but it wasn't a welcoming smile.
"Not exactly," she whispered. She took her hand and slammed it behind Yami's neck, knocking him unconscious.
"Fukayna," Bakura whispered. She walked over to him, and then slapped him across the face.
"What the hell, woman?!" he yowled. The female yami slanted her eyes.
"That was for knocking out my host like that," she growled crossly, "and for saying such disgusting lies." She turned around so her back was facing her partner.
"Perhaps," Bakura explained as he walked up to her, "I went a little too far when I said those things. But I had to be convincing so they would fall for it." He wrapped his arms Fukayna's body. She laughed, revealing her own pair of intimating fangs.
"You know," she said while still grinning, "you're a pretty big kiss-up when you're scared." Bakura smiled, and then licked her cheek.
"But you crave it," he replied, "just like how I crave your love." The female yami chuckled. When Bakura freed her, he ran his hand over her cut, and she sneered from the stinging pain it caused.
"How did you get that cut?" Bakura demanded, but with concern as well.
"I-It's nothing," she replied, "we've got bigger problems then my flesh wounds." When she tried walking forward, but Bakura grabbed her wrist, preventing her to leave.
"Are you so proud you keep secrets," he asked, "even from me?" Fukayna looked at her feet.
"So, maybe Kaiba caught me off-guard for a second," she mumbled, "It's no big deal." Bakura's eyes grew hot with rage.
"If he ever escapes from your medallion," he growled, letting her go, "he won't live long. And I'll make sure of it." He looked at Yami, still unconscious. Bakura snickered, and pulled the Millennium Puzzle off of the pharaoh.
"He not only lost the shadow game," he explained, "but he also lost this, as well as his little precious hikari." He turned to Fukayna.
"Let's go," the white-haired yami ordered, "before we start attracting attention." She nodded, and they walked off into the night, leaving Yami cold and alone. Or so they thought. When the pair left, a pair of red, glowing eyes peeked at the pharaoh from behind the corner…
A/C: Wow i left you guys hanging out to dry, didn't I? Well, I was going to ahead and end Foreign right here, but when I started thinking about it, I thought that I mine as well continue on. It's just going to be very, very long. Oh well! I sure didn't expect my story to happen like this. In fact, I orginally wasn't going to create Fukayna and have Chihiro working with Bakura... they just wouldn't have such a close relationship. However, a friend of mine asked about it, and I thought, Chihiro having a yami would be awsome! And the Millennium Medallion? I actually made that up a long time ago, back when I was a kid. And I made Chihiro up before that... But the complicated backgrounds and magical powers I made up was recently created. I just want to thank everyone for all of their awsome support. Thank You!
