Start of the Shadow Game

 

***On the way to the mall.***

 

Yugi, Jonouchi, Anzu, Honda, and Serenity were going to the mall to go pick up the latest version of a video game.

 

“Oh this is going to be sweet!!!” Jonouchi said dancing in circles. “I cant wait, with the robots, lasers, and zombies. It's the best game ever!”

 

“Settle down Jou.” Honda said as he turned to talk to Yugi. “So Yugi, why isn't Ryou coming with us?”

 

“He didn't feel like it, he kind of slammed the door in my face and said he needed to sleep.” Yugi said sadly.

 

“That doesn't sound like Ryou.” Anzu said in puzzlement.

 

“Well maybe he really was just feeling ill.” Yugi said completely distracted.

 

“Obviously he isn't feeling too bad…Look!!!” Jonouchi said as he pointed into a bank they were passing.

 

The sight they saw was Ryou's millennium ring glowing facing a red haired teen with a…whip? Also Marik was there, he was holding up a millennium rod and it was glowing too.

 

“What are they…” Serenity began as they all just stared at the scene before them through the bank..

 

“Ryou, Marik…What are you doing?” Yugi yelled at his old companions.

 

Unfortunately Bakura and Marik didn't seem to hear him through the glass walls of the bank.

 

Marik smiled evilly at Hiei, “You don't know what you've gotten yourself into.”

 

“Release the detective.” Hiei said referring to the currently mind controlled Yusuke.

 

“If you insist.” Marik then released Yusuke.

 

“Wow, where am I?” Yusuke looked around. “Wait a minuet, You.” He then attacked Marik.

 

“I don't think so.” Marik used his rod to pick up Yusuke and throw him into Kurama.

 

“Lets have a shadow duel.” Bakura said to the spirit detectives.

 

“Fine.” Hiei then removed his sword and pointed it at Marik, “Draw your sword.”

 

Bakura and Marik just looked at each other and started laughing, “What do I want with a sword?”

 

Kurama looked calm but annoyed as Yusuke got off of him and he rose to his feet. “You challenged us to a duel, bring out your weapons.”

 

“Oh, Bakura they think we mean a sword duel, I meant with cards you pathetic fool.” Marik said with distain.

 

“How would you duel with cards?” Kuwabara asked.

 

 

Meanwhile: Yugi and the others were trying to get into the bank but it appeared that the two thieves had locked it to prevent any police from coming in.

 

“What's wrong with Ryou? I thought he was nice.” Serenity said looking at the insane thief who seemed to be cackling.

 

“Its quite obvious that isn't Ryou, I knew Bakura was back.” Yugi said angrily again trying to open the doors.

 

“What are they doing with those other teens?” Anzu asked in concern. “They must be hostages! Oh no.”

 

Yugi looked carefully, he suddenly saw shadows slowly creeping from Bakura and Marik.

 

“They are going to challenge them to a shadow game!” Yugi said franticly. They couldn't allow innocent people to be devoured by the shadows. “Please Marik! Bakura! Don't send them to the shadow Realm!!!” Yugi screamed threw the glass.

 

Neither Bakura or Marik seemed to hear Yugi, they were too busy summoning the Shadow realm.

 

“Hey, Evil dudes…STOP!!!” Jonouchi yelled.

 

 

Inside:

 

“Let the games begin.” Bakura said happily.

 

“Wait, what games?” Kuwabara yelled as he watched the shadows come towered him.

 

The Shadows seemed to flow our of the millennium items, all light seemed shut out. The air got colder and damper, chills were sent down everyone's spine as the darkness consumed all the surrounding area.

 

“What the hell is this?” Yusuke said looking around at the dark, “What are you freaks doing?”

 

 

Yugi couldn't stop it, he had to get them out. He used his millennium puzzle to shot a laser sort of thing at the lock at the door. (Like Bakura did to Pegasus in their shadow duel.)

 

The door opened and they all ran at the shadows to help the poor people that Marik and Bakura had just challenged to a shadow game.

 

=I hope we make it in time= Yugi thought to Yami.

 

=Don't worry Yugi, well make it.= Yami assured him, then Jonouchi, Anzu, Honda, and Serenity all followed Yugi into the shadow realm cloud.

 

Bakura's laugh came out of the darkness, “This is a place where people's nightmares come true, this is the Shadow Realm.”

 

“What's a Shadow Realm?” Kuwabara asked.

 

Hiei was in no mood, he looked around for the two thieves they were fighting but couldn't see them anywhere, “Where are you?” His voice seethed in the darkness.

 

“Oh, you'll see us soon enough, but first lets explain the rules.” Marik's voice slithered out from the shadows.

 

“Rules? What rules?” Kurama asked scanning every part of the shadows he could trying to find the invisible thieves.

 

“Marik!!! Bakura!!! Stop this now!” Yami's voice rang out.

 

“Oh how pleasant, the Pharaoh has come to play.” Bakura said with mock enjoyment.

 

“Who else is with you Pharaoh?” Marik asked. “Is your little Hikari here too? I think you should leave us too our work, or something bad might happen to him.”

 

“What the Hell is going on? Where is everybody?” Yusuke asked again.

 

“Lets shed some light on this,” Bakura said.

 

Then a bluish light poured threw the shadows, everyone could now be seen clearly.

 

The bank was gone, instead there seemed to be an endless purple shadow around them.

 

The spirit detectives were all in defensive fighting stances ready to take on whatever happened next. Bakura and Marik were standing side by side with identical evil grins on their faces. Yugi, Jonouchi, Honda, Anzu, and Serenity were all looking around trying to figure out what just happened.

 

“Where are we thieves?” Hiei said angrily.

 

“I told you, you are in the shadow realm.” Bakura said looking somewhat board, “And the only way out is to win the game.”

 

“What game, what is happening? Where are we?” Yusuke was getting really angry. Then he looked at the Yu-gi-oh crew… “Who are you?”

 

“We are here to help you, don't worry we will stop this.” Yami talked to them as if they were normal civilians. “Bakura, let us out, NOW. These people do not need to suffer for simply being at a bank.”

 

“They deserve to be sent to the shadow Realm, after all we were just peacefully robbing the bank and minding our own business when these thugs attacked us.” Marik said looking at all the spirit detectives with distain.

 

Kurama had enough, he hated being in the dark about things. He could gather quite a bit though, for instance all these people knew each other. The two thieves were obviously against the others and they were trying to stop them from doing…well something that had to do with shadows.

 

“Any way it doesn't matter pharaoh, if you knew anything of importance you would know that if a shadow game is called it can not be stopped until someone losses.” Bakura said smiling an evil smile at Yami.

 

“Then let it be just you and us Freaks!” Jonouchi yelled, he would never let someone get hurt.

 

“No, they started it, if they want to live they are going to have to play the game.” Marik said.

 

Yami was about to argue when Yusuke jumped in, “Wait, so if we beat you at some game then we will get out of here?”

 

“IF you beat us then yes.” Bakura replied.

 

“Fine, then lets beat these losers.” Yusuke said with annoyance.

 

“Wait! Please you don't know what your getting yourself into! These guys are not messing around, if you loose, your gone forever. Just let us handle it.” Honda said to Yusuke.

 

“What do you mean gone forever?” Kurama asked, “Do you mean we will die?”

 

“No, it's a fate much worse than death.” Marik said now enjoying himself. “Your mind will be separated from you body and you will wonder the shadows forever.”

 

Hiei didn't believe that, “Hn, Impossible.”

 

“Then play and find out.” Bakura said.

 

Yami looked around, he really didn't have a choice. “Fine, what game is it?”

 

Marik smiled, “It's a little game of, what do you call it? Dodge ball.”

 

Jonouchi laughed, “Ha, you think two evil brains could come up with something a little more…evil.”

 

Honda quickly covered Jonouchi mouth before he said anything else that could get them killed.

 

“We will play Shadow Ball. The game is like dodge-ball, just much more deadly of course.” Marik said. “The rules are simple, its us.” He pointed to himself and Bakura, “against all of you. If you hit both of us before we get all of you out then, you win and all of your soul's go free. And of course we would loose our souls to the shadows.”

 

Bakura then joined in, “But if we win, your souls will be lost forever and we get Yugi's millennium puzzle.”

 

Marik rolled his eyes, `he really is obsessed with those.'

 

“Wait, did you say millennium puzzle? Is it one of the millennium items?” Kurama asked looking at Yami.

 

Bakura looked slightly impressed, “Its strange for normal mortals to know of the millennium items.”

 

Yami looked at Kurama carefully, “Yes, I have a millennium item.” He pointed to his millennium puzzle. “And they have the millennium rod and ring.” He pointed to Bakura and Marik who looked slightly interested in these `civilians.'

 

“Wait aren't the millennium items the ones we are supposed to…” Kuwabara was cut off when Yusuke hit him in the head, hard. They were on a secret mission and couldn't have the people helping them know they were trying to take their item from them.

 

Bakura looked at them curiously but decided it was time to start the game. “The rules are also that of regular dodge ball, if you catch the ball without dropping it then the person who throws it is out.”

 

Yusuke seemed to be catching on, “So are we using regular or heavy dodge-balls?”

 

Marik laughed, “you will be using…these.” From behind his back he pulled out an electric ball that was sending shock's out from it. “Shall we begin?”

 

Hiei looked at his teammates, all of them, “How many balls do we get?”

 

“Everyone starts with one ball. Millennium item holders can make more balls whenever they want, that is…If they know how.”

 

Yami didn't know how to make electric glowing balls but he had no choice. “How do I create the orbs?” Yami wondered if they intended to be fair.

 

“Now why would we tell you that?” Bakura said almost laughing.

 

“Enough talk, Let the game, begin.” Marik yelled.

 

 

***Koenma's Office.***

 

Koenma was working busily in his office, he had a lot of paperwork because he had to wipe the minds of an entire plane full of people that now think Hiei is a terrorist.

 

“The next time I see them I'm going to let them have it.” Koenma said angrily stamping more and more papers.

 

“Lord Koenma! Lord Koenma!” Botan, a girl with bright blue hair came flying into his office in a hurry.

 

“Yes what is it Botan?” Koenma said calmly.

 

“Its Yusuke and the others, there gone!” Botan looked terrified.

 

“What do you mean they're gone?” Koenma said now in a panic.

 

“Well, they seemed to just disappear off of the face of the earth!” Botan said quickly.

 

“Now how could they do that?” Koenma was now getting worried.

 

“I don't know sir, I do know that they were last in a bank that was being robbed.”

 

“Now how do you know that?” Koenma asked.

 

“Well, we have those cameras following them so we can see what is happening with them. They went into a bank, some robbers started robbing the bank. Yusuke started a fight with the thieves and then all our cameras went out, they are completely off line. We checked some other tracking systems and they say that the spirit detectives aren't on earth, They are no where to be seen.” Botan said all this very quickly.

 

“Botan, you have to go to this bank, go and investigate and see if you can find any evidence on where Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama went.” Koenma couldn't think of anything else to do.

 

“Oh and Botan, Don't tell Dad!!!” Koenma gave her puppy dog eyes so he wouldn't get in trouble with his father.

 

Botan just rolled her eyes and took of on her flying oar. It would take a while for her to fly there but hopefully there would be some answers.

 

 

***In The Shadow Realm***

 

As soon as Marik let out the words, “Let the game, begin” The whole shadows seemed to quake and change. Trees grew from out of the ground and boulders appeared. The players were now engulfed in a huge forest; everything was made out of solid shadows. The trees were all black/purple like you would expect in the shadow realm.

 

Yami looked around, he couldn't see anyone anywhere, the newly made scenery covered everyone up.

 

In front of Yami appeared one of the electric balls; he went to pick it up. The second that his hands touched the ball a huge electric shock painfully flowed through his entire body.

 

He tried to hold on but had to release the ball due to the shear pain he was experiencing.

 

“What's wrong Pharaoh? Can't even hold on to the ball? You'll never win that way.” Bakura was floating over Yami, he was holding the ball and it didn't appear to be shocking him at all.

 

“Wait, how are you floating…how can you keep hold of the ball?” Yami asked as he stared up at Bakura.

 

“Well me and Marik added a few…perks. You see it wouldn't be fair if it was all of you against just the two of us now would it?” Bakura's grin was unbearable; Yami felt a huge urge to punch it.

 

“That's cheating, you no good low-some coward!” Yami said angrily.

 

“If you insist.” Bakura looked bored. “Come on Pharaoh, were thieves, did you really expect us to play fair?”

 

Yami glared at Bakura, he picked up the ball despite the searing pain and threw it at Bakura.

 

The ball seemed to fly right at Bakura, unfortunately at the last second he lazily moved out of the way as if the attack had been in slow motion.

 

“Nice shot.” Bakura grinned. “Now its my turn.” Bakura made a ball appear and sent it flying strait at Yami. It made a solid hit.

 

Bakura watched in delight as Yami's expression turned into Yugi's.

 

“Yami? Yami? What did you do?” Yugi looked really angry.

 

“What do you think I did? I sent him to the shadow realm, those are the rules of the game.” Bakura then created another ball ready to wipe out the other half of the Pharaoh.

 

Yugi looked around, he didn't have another ball and he didn't think he could dodge this one, `No I can't let Bakura win…Yami I wish you were here.' His eyes grew wide with dread as he watched the ball come strait towered him.
