Chapter One

Something was amiss. Yami could feel it. Even though he was in the puzzle he could sense that something was seriously wrong. The strange vibe was coming from. . .beside Yugi. //Aibou, who is sitting beside you? On your right.//

/Um. . .Bakura. Why?/

//Is he all right?//

/I think so. . ./

Yami sighed to himself. He could still sense that there was something horribly wrong. *Could his evil side be back? I thought we had gotten rid of him.* Yami paced around his soul room. He wouldn't have normally showed it, but the soft-spoken young boy had found a place in his heart and he cared about him like he cared about Yugi.

Yami remembered back a few months when the group had found out what was happening to Bakura. The white-haired youth had been asked to stay the night when Yugi's grandfather had gone on another trip, leaving just Yugi and Yami. Yugi had wanted to spend some time with Bakura because he had looked left out lately.

Bakura had agreed and seemed happy with the idea and the beginning of the night was great. Joey and Tristan had joined them and Yugi had invited Tea to come over, but she had been out of the city to visit some family. They were all watching horror movies, though Yami was laughing at almost everything, when it happened.

Bakura had gotten up and left the room, thinking nothing of it since they had all been drinking a lot of sodas nobody said anything. But when Bakura had come back he had gotten dressed and grabbed his bag.

"Where ya off to Bakura?" Joey asked from his spot on the couch.

Yami noticed that the boy wouldn't look up, his hair was purposely covering his face. "It was fun guys, and I thank you for inviting me, but I have to leave now." He said politely.

"Why?" Tristan had asked, shoving some popcorn into his mouth.

"Well. . .you see, I forgot to do a few things today and they really need to get done and. . ." He trailed off and sighed.

"You are a horrible liar man." Joey said as he gulped down some more of his soda.

"Almost as bad as the movie." Yami mumbled as Yugi got up and pulled Bakura into the room. He struggled and pleaded but his voice fell on deaf ears. Finally, Yugi had pulled him to where there was light and had brushed the hair away from his face, revealing a black eye.

"You didn't have that when you arrived." Yugi said, surprised by the injury.

"I-I fell. In the bathroom." Bakura tried again but nobody had bought the lie and they made him explain.

***

His dark side had been abusing him. Unable to stand his friend in pain Yugi had challenged the evil spirit of the Millennium Ring to a duel. The deal was that if the spirit lost then Bakura could get rid of the ring, but if Yugi lost then the evil spirit would get his Millennium Puzzle.

As it had gone, Yugi had won, (with a little help from a friend) and the Millennium Ring had disappeared for a long time. But now, Yami sensed its presence again and he wanted to find out as soon as possible.

Nobody threatened his friends and got away with it.
