~Alternate Universe Twist~ By Saiyan Moon Goddess

~Chapter 6: Cryptic Message From The Deep~

Yugi froze in his tracks.

The person dressed in a black hood and holding a sharp blade, had no face.

"The Reaper of Cards?" Yugi whispered in desbelief.

The reaper raised its curved blade over Yugi's head. The teen's eyes widened in fear.

Suddenly, the monster disappeared in thin air.

"Huh?" Yugi looked at his surroundings, but he saw no sign of the reaper. "What happened?"

*Yugi-sama, help.*

"What?" A black figure dressed in a hood appeared before him. Was it the Reaper of Cards again?
But this one wasn't holding a curved blade, but a magic staff instead, which Yugi found rather
familiar.

The new monster moved one hand slowly and pulled the hood over its head, revealing a face. Yugi
gasped.

"You're...you're Black Magician Girl!"

(SMG: "Did you think it was the Black Magician? Well, you were wrong. Besides, Black Magician
Girl is my favorite.")

The magician smiled down at him. "Yugi-sama." her voice sounded like a whisper. "We've been
waiting for your arrival. You're the only one who can free the others."

"Who?"

"A tremendous evil force was freed into this world many years ago." she continued. "He's the
one who caused the war between the two countries. And he prevented us from stopping the war
before it was too late. He cursed all of us. He wanted to trap our spirits in this forest for
eternity. I was the only one who managed to escape. I can do nothing against him, but you can.
You can free everyone from their prison."

"But who are the others?" 'Unless they are who I think they are...' "And how are you so sure I
can help?"

"I know so. Didn't you hear when your friend Koneko mentioned the Prophecy of Light?"

Yugi thought for a moment, then it came to him.

*FLASHBACK*

"If you want the 'Prophecy of Light' to be fulfilled."

*END FLASHBACK*

'Koneko...' Yugi then snapped. "Wait a minute! Koneko! Is she alright?! I heard her scream!"

"Calm down, Yugi-sama." said Black Magician Girl. "She's alright. Your other friends found her
safe and sound. They are now looking for you. But you must hear this before they find you. It's
very important. And don't worry if you see monsters. Those are their spirits calling for help.
But they can only appear for a few seconds, then disappear. Like ghosts. They have no intention
of harming anyone, but if they do, they can't touch."

"Okay then, what is it that you wanted to tell me?"

Black Magician Girl nodded. "I have little time, so take these with you and go in peace,
Yugi-sama." She handed him two cards. "But beware, soon you will face great danger. Your life
and your friends' lives will be on the line. Also, what you read from those cards you must not
tell your friends."

"Why not?"

"Because, HE will know. He can read people's minds. But he doesn't have the power to read yours
or mine. Your power exceeds his." Black Magician Girl began to disappear.

"Black Magician Girl!" Yugi called, holding the two cards she gave him. "Will I ever see you
again?"

Black Magician Girl smiled. "You can count on that. Until then, Master." She disappeared.

"Whoa, this is so weird." Yugi whispered. He searched his surroundings. "I wonder if Koneko and
the others are okay." He looked down at the cards. One was white with a message written in
golden letters, the other was black with silver letters. He put the cards into his pocket and
walked through the dark forest. The whispers in the wind seemed to die down. 'Well, I guess it
could be worse.'

Suddenly, the ground under his feet collapsed, forming a huge hole. Yugi started falling
backwards. His eyes widened in surprise.

"AHHHHH!!!" He grabbed on to the first thing his hand could reach. A vine. He stopped in mid
fall, one hand holding onto the vine, the other holding onto the wall of dirt the plant was
hanging from. "Phew!" He looked down to see how deep the hole was and gasped. The hole's bottom
had sharp spikes. He looked away quickly. Ô_Ô "This is Worse! THIS IS MUCH WORSE!"

And, while Yugi's hanging there, let's see what's going on in his universe.

Yami's eyes snapped open, his face blank. He glanced around the room and stood up slowly from
the bed, letting the sheets fall to the floor.

(Yami: "Am I okay now?"
SMG: "Nope."
Yami: *groans* "Ugh.")

Yami walked to the door and tried the doorknob. It was locked from the outside. The eye of Ra
glowed on his forehead. The doorknob turned black and melted until it was gone for good. He
opened the door.

(Yami: *shocked* "I didn't know I could do that!" *turns to SMG*
SMG: *shruggs* "Me either. I've never seen you do that on tv or manga."
Yami: "Oh."
Hiei: "That looks more like something I would do."
SMG: *smirks* "I know.")

As the pharaoh took a step out of the room, he heard voices approaching.

"I'm going to check on Yami." came Ryou's voice.

"Not without me you're not." said Bakura.

Yami opened the nearest door to him and went into the room, locking the door behind him. He
heard footsteps approaching and leaving. The pharaoh glanced around the room and spotted a small
figure on the bed. He approached it.

Ryou gasped as he and Bakura reached the open door to Yami's room. Ryou ran to it and looked
inside.

"He's gone!" he said.

Bakura, who was wearing the Millenium Ring at the moment, looked down at his ring as it glowed.

"He didn't go far." he said and looked behind him, at a certain door.

Ryou's eyes widened. "Marlene!" Ryou went for the door and turned the knob. "It's locked."

Yami knelt beside the bed and stared at Marlene's sleeping face with his own blank look.

Bangs were heard from the door. Yells followed.

"Yami, open the door!" Ryou yelled.

"Pharaoh no baka(1)!" yelled the boy's yami. "We know you're in there!"

Yami ignored the noise and reached out to touch the sleeping blonde.

(Yami: "I thought you paired me up with Serenity."
SMG: "I did! Now be quiet!"
Yami: *whining* "But I don't get it!"
Bakura: "Crybaby."
SMG: *to Yugi* "Did you let him eat cookies again?"
Yugi: *whistles guiltly*
SMG: *to Yami* "You used to have a crush on me, remember?!"
Yami: "Oh, I get it.")

He touched her cheek softly. Being a light sleeper, the skin contact made Marlene stir and open
her eyes half way. She stared at the pharaoh sleepily.

"Yami-jisan(2)?" she whispered.

She stared and her eyes opened fully when she noticed Yami's red eyes getting smaller and a mad
looked crossed his face. The eye of Ra glowed on his forehead and he raised his hand as if to
strike her.

Thinking quickly, Marlene's eyes widened as she quickly pushed two fingers against the pharaoh's
forehead, touching the golden eye.

"Yami(3)!" she yelled and a blast of light erupted from her fingers, sending Yami to crash
back-first into the nearest wall. The pharaoh slid down the wall and sat on the floor, back
resting against the wall, head down, and unmoving.

Marlene sighed in relief and got out of bed. She approached the fallen one and knelt beside him.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

Yami groaned, his hand going to his forehead. He lookced up at Marlene, who smiled as his
crimson eyes returned to their normal size. The insane look was gone.

"Marlene?" Yami said confused, then he noticed his bandaged hands and feet. "What happened?"

"I don't know." *CRASH* "What the-?!" Marlene and Yami turned to see the room's door had been
blasted open. Ryou and Bakura stood on the doorframe, wide-eyed. O_O

"What do you think you're doing?!" Ò_Ó Marlene yelled as she glared at both of them.

O_O Ryou pointed a finger at Bakura, looking like a little kid. "He did it!"

Bakura sweatdropped. ¬_¬ "Traitor." he muttered.

"Bakura!" Marlene was at the tomb robber's face, actually intimidating him. He looked nervous.
"You better fix my door!"

Now it was Bakura's turn to point accusingly, at Yami. "Why am I the only one being yelled at?
The pharaoh no baka melted a doorknob!"

The princess turned to the confused Yami. "Is this true?"

O_O "What did I do?" Yami said.

¬_¬ "He metled the doorknob from the room next to this one." Bakura said.

Ò_Ó "Yami!" Marlene said sternly. "You owe me a doorknob."

"Excuse me." The three turned to Ryou. "Uh, could we consentrate in a more important matter?
Yami, how did you return to normal? Just a few hours ago you went mad. And you were
disappearing!"

"Don't worry." said Marlene. "Everything will be okay now. I noticed what was happening in the
last second. Can you believe it? I casted a small spell on Yami so he could keep his sanity."

"Why did he go mad like that?" said Bakura.

"I'm not very good at explaining things. Well, Yami once said that dark cannot survive without
light. My only guess is that one, and that without his light he was left in the dark. Anyone
left in darkness for too long goes insane, completely evil, don't you think?"

"I think you have a point there." said Ryou. "What kind of spell did you use?"

"Oh, that's easy. I simply used my powers to strengthen Yami and Yugi's bond. It was the best
I could do."

"You're right." said Yami. "I can feel Yugi again."

The others turned to the pharaoh. Marlene grabbed his shoulders, worried. "Can you tell where
he is exactly? Is he okay?"

Yami shook his head. "I can't tell where he is exactly. But he's alive!" Marlene hugged Yami
tightly in relief. "Marlene, you're...cutting my...air."

"Sorry." Marlene let go of him. "Can you talk you him?"

"I'll try." They waited as Yami consentrated.

Meanwhile, Yugi was still inside the hole. His grip on the vine was failing.

"I have to get out of here." he said. He placed one foot on the wall and pushed himself up,
trying to clim up the wall.

//Yugi!//

Yugi yelped, his foot slipped from the dirt and he would've fallen right into the spikes below
if he wasn't still holding on to the vine. He hang there, AGAIN.

"AGHHH!!" he yelled in frustration. /YAMI?!!/

//Aibou, are you alright?//

/Do I sound alright?! Wait a minute! How are you talking to me? Where are you?/

//We have a bond, remember? I'm in Marlene's house. What are you doing?//

Yugi sweatdrops as he looks down once again at the sharp spikes. /Oh, not much. Just holding on
to a plant for dear life, about to fall into a giant shredder./

(Yami: "That sounded lame."
SMG: *glares dangerously* "One more word out of you and I'll tie and gag you and turn you
into a girl."
Lady Vegeta4eva: "And I'll do you a make over."
Yami: *shuts up quick*)

//WHAT?!//

Yugi was desperate. /I'M GOING TO DIE, OKAY?! Just let me consetrate on getting out of this
hole before I fall and those spikes pierce my ass./

//Since when do you curse?//

/HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WHERE IN MY SITUATION RIGHT NOW?!/

On the other universe, Yami gasped in surprise at Yugi's outburst. Marlene, Ryou, and Bakura
saw this and worried.

"What's wrong, Yami?" said Marlene.

"Marlene, you are a bad influence on Yugi..." Yami muttered as he sweatdropped.

Marlene glared. "What's that suppose to mean? Just tell me where the hell Yugi is, DAMMIT! I'm
tired of all this FUCKING waiting!!"

"She really is a bad influence." Ryou said. A quick glare from Marlene made him shut up.

In the hole, Yugi glanced at his surroundings, curious as why Yami stopped talking to him.

"At least now I can get out of here." He heard a *snap*. Yugi looked up. "Oh no."

The vine broke, and Yugi fell back toward the spikes.

"AAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

To Be Continued....

Saiyan Moon Goddess: "Go ahead and yell at me if you want to, but I WON'T accept insults to my
work. Okay?

(1) Pharaoh no baka - Stupid Pharaoh or Idiot Pharaoh

(2) Yami-jisan - Uncle Yami

(3) That's NOT the name of the spell. She just called Yami's name.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: To dragon. If you didn't understand the idea given to me, I'll tell you. With
Yami and Yugi's bond stronger than ever, Yami and Yugi will have some conversations during
the story. Yugi will keep his friends updated on what's he's doing and they will show up more
often. That's all."
