Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Prisoners of the Shadows ❯ The Beginning ( Chapter 1 )

Shadow Games in the Spirit World

 

Hello, My name is Youshiie and this is my second fanfiction!!! I love crossovers so I thought this would be fun to do. My favorite characters are Bakura and Kurama. This might get a little bloody and a few bad words might pop up but I usually bleep them out. But this only is rated because the characters might get beat up. I don't like dueling so much so their will be shadow games, but not shadow dueling. Anyway I really hope you enjoy this!!!! Please read and Review!!!!

 

Quick Note: In this fanfiction Yugi's Yami will just be Yami, and Yugi will be Yugi. Ryou Bakura's Yami will be known as Bakura and the Hikari (the soul not trapped in a Millennium Item) will be Ryou. And Marik will be the Yami and Malik will be the Hikari. I hope you understand that. Also I am going to use the Japanese names, sorry if that's an inconvenience. Jonouchi = Joey, Anzu=Tea, Honda=Triston.

 

“blah blah blah” is characters talking.

`blah blah blah' is characters thinking.

=blah blah blah= is talking through mind communication (mind link).

The Beginning

 

***CRASH*** Yusuke (a short black haired fighter) went flying right into a solid wall.

 

“Curse You” Yusuke said as he got up from the ground glaring at a towering snake demon.

 

“Come on Urameshi, we can beat him if you stop being a woos and wake up.” A orange haired and tall fighter named Kuwabara yelled to Yusuke as he began to get up.

 

“Shut up Kuwabara!!!!” Yusuke yelled.

 

“Your stupidity astounds me, how can you even remember the detectives name?” Sneered the spiky haired Hiei.

 

“Please we have to focus! Its coming back!!!” The always cool and calm red headed Kurama tried to pull the group back together.

 

Hiei attacked the snake demon as it reared its ugly head. With one quick slice the demon's head was lying severed from it's body. But it quickly grew another one.

 

“Da*n it I don't have time for this!” Yusuke yelled as he lifted his finger to destroy the beast once and for all. “Spirit Gun!” Yelled Yusuke as he disintegrated the snake with one blow.

 

“Yeah, we beat that wimpy snake!” Cheered Kuwabara.

 

“What do you mean WE beat him, I did all the work!” Boasted Yusuke.

 

“Yes, You did quite well Yusuke.” Kurama said calmly as Yusuke tried to defeat Kuwabara at a glaring contest.

 

“Hn, now that the idiotic demon is dead I'm leaving.” Hiei said as he turned to go.

 

“Wait three eyes.” Yusuke said before he left. Hiei just turned around and gave a board expression. “We need to report back to Koenma, he had something important he wanted to tell us about when the snake attacked, I didn't have time to ask what it was.” Yusuke said to the annoyed fire demon. (Hiei)

“Hn, fine but it better be good.” Hiei said as he followed the other spirit detectives to Spirit world to meet the Ruler of spirit worlds son, Lord Koenma.

 

***Lord Koenma's office***

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN ANOTHER CASE?????” Yusuke had just gotten the news that he had to cancel yet another date with Kako.

 

“I'm sorry Yusuke but that's your job, Its important for you to go wherever there is a threat on mankind, and I promise you this is a huge threat!” The toddler sized ruler said hiding from Yusuke behind his desk.

 

“I don't give a flip toddler, I want to get a break!!! You think saving the world would be enough to let a guy get a vacation but no, you want to send him somewhere else to defeat some other big bad demon, as if Toguro wasn't enough.” Yusuke said somewhere between screaming and moping.

 

“Yusuke please, lets hear what he has to say, what is it Koenma?” Kurama said calmly.

 

“Thank you Kurama, well we have a little situation on our hands and let me tell you its no picnic, it will be very dangerous.” Koenma began to explain.

 

“Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, no picnic just get the he*l on with it so I can go home.” Yusuke mumbled, he didn't want to be listening to the prince of spirit world.

 

“Well how to begin?… I am sending you on a mission to retrieve some sacred objects.” Koenma paused to look around the room. “These objects are very powerful and if they were to fall into the wrong hands well…lets just say that the end of the world would be assured.” Koenma thought for a second. “Most is unknown about these objects but we have been doing lots of research to try and find out exactly what they do. The strange thing is that the objects have been being used for quite some time and we never noticed.” Koenma looked around to get some input.

 

“What do you mean they have been used? What are we talking about here? Are these items really powerful or are they just really valuable?” Kuwabara asked.

 

“You idiot, he already said that they could bring about the end of the world.” Hiei glared at Kuwabara.

 

“Well sorry mister grumpy pants!” Kuwabara sassed at Hiei.

 

To stop Hiei from possibly killing Kuwabara, Koenma decided to let them know all he knew. “These items have been being used for a while and didn't even bleep onto our radar until recently. It appears that while all of us were in the dark tournament one of the items holders almost got hold of the other items and almost took over the world!” Koenma said quickly.

 

“What do you mean almost took over the world, we already dealt with Toguro, what else could be worse then that? Hey wait, why didn't the guy take over the world?” Yusuke questioned.

 

“Well it appears some other item holders stopped him before he got that far. Unfortunately we don't really know to much; like what their names are or even what they look like. We only know that these objects are very dangerous and should be locked up immediately. Your job is to gather them and bring them back to me.” Koenma said looking around. Kurama was thinking, Hiei was emotionless, Yusuke was mumbling something about `dumb toddlers and cases' and Kuwabara was counting the number of lines on his hand.

 

“Well do you know where we could at least start looking for the items?” Kurama finally asked.

 

“Well we can't pinpoint any of there exact locations but we know threw certain sources that one of them is located in Domino City. We don't know too much about it though, I want you to find it and bring it here.” Koenma finished.

 

“Okay but how are we going to know what it is?” For once Kuwabara brought up a good point.

 

“Well we know that the items are made of gold…also they will have a carving of an eye on them. That's all that our files could bring up on the items. You will just have to go to Domino, which is on the other side of Japan and try and locate it from there.” Koenma looked at them hopefully.

 

“I'm not going.” Hiei announced to the group.

 

“Hiei you have to go, we might need your Jagon eye to see where the items are when you found out what one looks like.” Hiei didn't look to convinced. “Also if you do this I will…I will…I will let you out of any probation hearings or any form of prison, you will be completely free of your criminal record.” Koenma usually wouldn't do that but he was desperate, he knew Hiei's jagon would come in handy.

 

“Hn, fine.” Hiei agreed, he had waited a long time to be free and if doing a little scavenger hunt would make him free then by all means he was going to be free.

 

“Good, now that you all will go, I will give you one week to get ready before you fly to Domino City. Your airplane will arrive at 8:30AM on Saturday, don't be late.” Koenma said.

 

“What do you mean flying?” asked Hiei quickly. Kurama had to hold back a chuckle, `I had forgotten, Hiei has never flown before. This will get extremely interesting.' Then Kurama had to ask the one question he had been wanting to for a long time. “Koenma, do you even know what the objects are called?” Kurama waited patiently.

 

“Yes Kurama. They are the Seven Millennium Items.”

 

***Downtown Domino City***

 

A small spiky haired boy was working in his grandfathers gaming shop. He was trying to put a game up on the highest shelf, he was too short to reach it. He had a beautiful gold object around his neck, it was in the shape of an upside down pyramid with an eye outline on it. The boy named Yugi looked down at his millennium puzzle. =Um…Yami, could I have a little help?= Yugi asked his Yami.

 

Yami chuckled =Yes.=And Yami came out of the millennium puzzle and took control of Yugi's body. He became taller, and his hair and face changed slightly a little more darker. and with the control became a little bit taller. Then he could put the game on the shelf.

 

After it was done Yugi took control again. =Thanks Yami.= Yugi thought for a little bit. He walked around the shop a few times.

 

=Yami, can I talk to you about something?= Yami appeared in a transparent body next to him.

 

“Of course Yugi.” Yami said.

 

“I was just wondering.” Yugi looked a little uncomfortable. “Have you sensed anything weird lately?”

 

“What do you mean Yugi?” asked Yami.

 

“Well, something doesn't feel right. I feel like something big is going to happen.” Yugi looked at Yami, hoping he would shed some light on his wondering.

 

“No Yugi, I really haven't sensed too much.” Yugi still looked worried. “Don't worry, I'm sure its just that your used to being in danger. Battle City kept you on you toes so you still feel like there is something to worry about.”

Yugi nodded his head, “Yeah, I bet your right. There's probably nothing to worry about.”

 

Yami went back into his millennium puzzle. Yugi paced around the room, they had had so much excitement in the last few weeks that watching the shop was extremely boring compared to the excitement. After about his fifth pace around the store someone knocked on the door.

 

Yugi went over to see who it was. When he opened a door he saw a tall blond headed boy.

 

“Hey Jonouchi, What's up?” Yugi asked his friend.

 

“Oh its nothing, Honda over here was just telling me that he could beat me at a game of Halo. Unfortunately I don't have my game for various reasons.” Jonouchi said the last part quietly.

 

“You mean the fact that when you lost to me last time you threw it out the window?” A spiky brunet said behind him.

 

“I didn't loose to you, the mighty Jonouchi could never loose to a pathetic person like you Honda.” Jonouchi said happily.

 

Before Honda could make a reply a girl with short brown hair came up behind them. “Jeesh, give it a rest already. You two act like monkeys.” Anzu said in a annoyed voice.

 

“Monkey???? Who you calling a monkey?” Jonouchi was so mad that he turned around to yell at Anzu and tripped over a cord lying on the floor. As he was falling he went to grab something, that something was the shelf of games that Yugi had just finished restocking. Unfortunately the shelf was not bolted into the wall. The game's all fell on Jonouchi but Honda caught the shelf.

 

“I don't know…sprawled out on the floor makes you look more like a monkey then you've been all day.” Honda said chuckling.

 

Jonouchi got up fast, “Well we'll see whose laughing when I beat you…So Yugi, how about letting us barrow the game?”

 

“Um sure. Its up the stairs in my room.” Yugi said a little worried at what damage they could do in his room considering what they just did to the game shop.

 

“Cool, last one there is a spoiled potato!!!” Yelled Jonouchi.

 

“Can potato's spoil?” asked Honda as all of them went upstairs to Yugi's room, all except Yugi.

 

Anzu turned around, “Aren't you coming Yugi?”

 

“Yeah, I just have to clean up this first.” He said indicating the mess on the floor.

 

“Do you want any help?” Anzu asked.

 

“No, I'm okay. Go have fun.” Yugi said cheerfully.

 

“Okay, come up when you can.” With that Anzu went up to Yugi's room to see Jonouchi get beat.

 

Yugi wasn't in a bad mood, he just didn't want Anzu to miss out on what was going on upstairs. =but Yugi, you're missing out.= Yami said in the back of his head.

 

=I'm okay, plus its my responsibility to clean this place up, not theirs.= Yami wasn't going to push it. He just went back in his soul room to look at ancient scrolls as he usually does.

 

Yugi began to put up all the game's back onto the shelf. As he but them up he heard Jonouchi yell, “That's not fair, my controller was sticking.” He laughed a little. He was really glad to have friends like them.

 

After a few minuets he looked down at just how many game's had fallen, it didn't look like he was making any progress. He wished he had accepted Anzu's offer.

 

Then like magic their was another knock on the door. Yugi opened the door to see one of his good friends at the door. (After all their experiences in Battle City they grew to be really good, close friends.) His long yet sort of messy white hair went a long way down his back. “Hey Ryou, what's up?”

 

Ryou looked at him happily, “Oh nothing much, I just dropped by to say hello.” Yugi realized that Ryou had been a lot happier ever since his millennium item and evil spirit went missing. His spirits name was Bakura and Bakura used to beat him up and force him to do tons of things he didn't want to do. Ryou still has a bunch of scars from it.

 

Ryou looked behind Yugi and saw the huge pile of games on the floor. “What are you doing Yugi?”

 

“Oh” Yugi looked behind him at the mess. “Jonouchi ran into the shelf and knocked everything over, I'm watching the store for gramps.”

 

Ryou smiled, “I'm completely free if you want some help.”

 

“Yeah, that would be great, thanks Ryou.” Yugi said as Ryou and him started picking up all the games.

 

They talked about different things as they picked up the games until Yugi decided to ask Ryou the same question he asked Yami. “Ryou, do you feel like anything is going to happen? Anything big?”

 

Ryou looked at him, “No, not really. I'm really glad of everything that is happening right now. I don't really want it to change.”

 

“Oh.” Said Yugi. “Because I've got this weird feeling, a feeling that something will happen, things have just been too quiet.”

 

“Yes, I feel somewhat similar. But I think I'm just afraid that things will go back to how they used to be. I hope not… Have you asked Yami about this?” Ryou asked.

 

“Yeah, he said its probably because I'm just used to adventure. By the way, you haven't seen any sign of Bakura have you?” Yugi wanted to check in. After all the millennium spirit has been missing before and it's always shown up eventually.

 

“Thankfully no. I think he's really gone for good this time, and I can't say I'm complaining.” Ryou chuckled at that and so did Yugi.

 

They finished picking up everything. Yugi decided to close the shop since business was pretty slow that day.

 

Both Yugi and Ryou went up the stairs. Jonouchi was yelling at Honda, “I tell you that you cheated!!!”

 

“Yeah, how did I cheat?” asked Honda with a skeptical look.

 

“I don't know. But something happened because my control didn't do what I wanted.” Jonouchi said sadly.

 

“That's called not knowing how to play.” Laughed Anzu.

 

“Hey Ryou, do you think something's wrong with the controller?” Asked Jonouchi who seemed determined not to accept his fair loose.

 

“I think there's something wrong with your brain.” Laughed Honda.

 

“I suggest that you switch controllers if you think something wrong with yours.” Ryou said carefully.

 

“Yeah, that's a great idea. Honda give me yours.” With that they started a new round of games. Eventually they switched off playing with other people because Jonouchi said that Honda was jinxing him, because he lost so many times.

 

Half way through Yugi playing Anzu, Ryou got a weird look on his face, almost a panicked look. “Ryou? Is everything okay?” Jonouchi asked as Ryou began to pale.

 

“What?” Ryou seemed snapped out of his own reality. “Oh, I um… I don't feel too well. I think I'm going to go home.” He rose to go.

 

Yugi stopped playing and the result was him loosing to Anzu. “Do you want me to walk you home?”

 

“Um, no. I think I can handle it.” Ryou said slowly. “I'll see you all tomorrow at school.” He said as he left.

 

“I wonder what's wrong with him?” asked Anzu.

 

“Oh, he's fine. I bet he just got sick of Jonouchi whining.” Laughed Honda. The two began to fight over it.

 

Yugi looked at the door where Ryou had gone through. =Yami? Yami?=

 

=Yes Yugi?= replied Yami.

 

=What do you think is wrong with Ryou?=

 

=He's probably okay. Don't worry about it Yugi. Well check on him tomorrow.=

 

=Okay= Yugi couldn't help suppressing the feeling that this was much worse then he thought it was. That it was the beginning of the bad things to happen.

 

 

***Ryou's Home***

 

Ryou ran through the door as quick as possible. He knew he had to get away from Yugi and the others. He knew what was going wrong. While he was in the shop, he felt a very dark presence. The presence he really hoped he would never feel again.

 

“Hello little Ryou.” Came a very sinister voice from the shadows.

 

Ryou looked around in a panic, “W-W-Where a-are y-y-you?” He stuttered, he had never been this scared in his life.

 

“Oh, now Ryou. Is that anyway to greet me after I've been away for so long?” The cold voice chuckled, he loved making Ryou squirm.

 

“I-I…” But before Ryou could say anymore he saw him. A dark version of himself coming out of the shadows. The eyes were darker and more piercing. He felt like he was being stabbed just by looking into those eyes, he looked away quickly, realizing his mistake.

 

“I thought I told you never to look me in the eye's again?” Bakura was mocking him.

 

“I-I-I didn't m-mean to.” He said quickly and softly.

 

“I have just one question slave.” Ryou winced, he hated being called that. “Why didn't you look for me. If I didn't know better I would think that you didn't want me back. But I know that's not true, is it?” He took a threatening step towered Ryou.

 

“Of c-course not.” Stuttered Ryou.

 

“You wanted me back?” Bakura loved knowing he still had complete control over this pathetic fool.

 

“Y-Yes.” Ryou was closing his eyes now. Bakura was too close for comfort.

 

“Yes what?” Bakura's voice crooned.

 

“Yes master.” Ryou said quietly.

 

“Good.” Bakura smiled. “I guess you haven't forgotten your place.” He pulled out a small knife, Ryou trembled. “Yet still, you didn't kill the pharaoh or go after me. You even continued talking with Yugi when I forbid you to talk to the pharaoh's vessel. For that you will be punished.” Bakura turned on Ryou and punched him hard in the stomach, then he kicked him in the head. He picked him up then threw him into a wall. Then advanced on him with the knife.

 

“N-no, please.” But the rest of Ryou's plea went unnoticed as the thief advanced on his pray.
