Author's notes: This Yu-Gi-Oh fan fiction is set in between Duellist Kingdom and Battle City. It takes place in the home of the Shadow Games/Duel Monsters Egypt. So the deck will be set up as they were for Duellist kingdom e.g. Joey will still have a Red Eyes Black Dragon. I think that all the spelling errors were picked up by the speller checker But their still could be a few that it missed however am sure it's ok.

Chapter 1: The games begin

Outside the burning hot sun of the Libyan Desert shines its light down on the dusty sands that blow across the wide open space in Egypt and in Libya. Out in the middle of this vast sea of sands, away from Egypt population lays an old looking temple. The temple is built in to a sand-dune that rises above the roof covering it up, Hiding the temple from the view of outsiders. Inside the temple theirs a set of stairs leading down in to a basement area, at the side of the stairs they are old Egyptian hieroglyphics. The wall tells the story of past battles that taken place between the power of darkness and light at the temple. At the bottom of the hieroglyphics it shows the markings of the seven millennium items the puzzle, the ring, the eye, the necklace, the rod and the scales. "The millennium Items shall be controlled by the chosen one. When he has all seven a new world order in Egypt and then the world shall be at hand."

"Realm of shadows in this twilight hour takes these souls and grant us power" is then chanted from the room at the bottom of the stairs. The room is a big chamber with a high roof. Again inside the room they are hieroglyphics all over the walls telling the story of ancient Egypt. The room as a whole as a scary and wired feeling to it that intensified even more by the on going chanting of the same line again and again. The room is populated by robed people sort of like old sorceress from times gone by. In the centre of the room stand two of the robed people looking face to face. In their hands they hold a set of Duel Monster cards.

One of the duellist holds up a card and then, just like in the times of the shadow games brings the monster on the card to life in the same way the ancient Egyptians made the monster on the stone tablets real. A mighty Koumori Dragon (1500/1200) comes up from inside the card dominating the floor of the chamber. The other duellist then holds up one of his cards using the same ancient magic to bring the monster to life. His Whiptail Crow (1650/1600) then comes out from the card and into. When the time is right it lunches an attack on the Koumori Dragon destroying it. Out from the pieces of the dead Koumori Dragon is an electrical wave. It is sent around the one that summoned the dragon on to the field. He lets out a yell as his life force is striped away from his body, feeling every last bit of pain that the Koumori Dragon felt before its death. He falls to the ground putting out his hand as he spits up some blood from internal damage. "Where did I go wrong with you son?" he says gasping for air.

"Father you know how it work! Now all you can do is watch, as your own son sends you in to the shadow realm" He holds up his free hand at the same time an energy force appears around his body. The energy is formed in to a ball on his hand and is fired out at his very own father. His father screams as the energy wave hits him but is then silenced as it rips his sole out from his body, sending him to the shadow realm. He the moves the hood of his rob down to reveal his face. He looks like a young boy on more than 10 years of age. "So? That was the strongest magician in Egypt at this time?"

"Yes master! But don't forget than since almost all of the shadow realms magic was locked away 5000 years ago and locked inside the Millennium items. The powers of the shadow games have faded we are one of the last people still to know of the ancient ways" mutters one of the men that was chanting at the time of the duel. "I must have the power of the Millennium items for myself! Only then can I bring about the new world order that was written about in legend.....come! We head to the city of Cairo there we shall find what I want" the 10 year old kid answer as he walks to the door of the temple.

Bakura walks along the street in old Cairo. Old Cairo is the oldest part of the city. Ancient buildings run along the yellow sandy streets. At the side of the buildings they are market stalls selling all sorts of things like cloths and even duel monsters cards. The smell of food coming from the stalls is so strong you can almost taste it in your mouth. Upon the horizon you can see the modern city of Cairo. "Father said he would be back from his meeting at 5PM...So I guess I have until then to explore the old part of the city" Bakura thinks to himself as he moves along the road shifting his eyes from stall to stall. Until his eyes come to rest on a really old looking building even older that the rest of the ones around the old Cairo. He moves over to the building and to the card stall outside. Duel Monster cards are laid out in rows the strongest and rarest cards at the top and the weakest cards at the bottom.

"Can I help you?" ask the stall keeper but at that very moment Bakura attention shifts to the door next to the stall leading in to the building his eyes grow dark making him look kind of evil. His voice also changes to fit his new evil look and the Millennium Ring comes in to view. He slowly moves towards the door at the same time saying out loud in his new voice, "I sense the power of ancient magic inside finally another Millennium Item is mine"

"Huh? The force of ancient magic I followed in to this room has disappeared" He says out loud as he enters a room with a table set in the middle of it. On the table there is a duelling matt and a deck of cards set on one side. There is also a card set in play face up on one of the card spaces. The name on the card reads Ushi Oni (2150/1950) "Is someone their?" asks the person sitting at the table. "Huh? What can't you see me old man?" "No sir...you see am partly blind..but that hasn't stopped me from playing duel monster" "I see so you're a duellist..then how about a duel old man.we will both put one card on the line to make things more interesting.and I'll put my change of heart card up and in return you can risk that Ushi Oni card" "Ok then" the old man answer at the same time both duellist take up their deck and shuffle their decks. After they are done they place their decks in the deck stop on the duelling matt and each take out 5 cards "I'll start" says the old man drawing out a 6th card in to his hand.

The old man then places one card face up in attack position in the first monster stop on the duelling matt at the same time he says "I'll Start off with D. Human in Attack mode (1300/1100) and then end my turn" (Bakura 2000/Old Man 2000). Bakura then looks at the old man with a grin as he places one card face down and also two faces down cards in the magic/trap space on the field. "Those 3 cards and that ends my turn" The old man then moves his card over placing it on top of Bakura's face down card. "I'll attack your face down monster with my D. Human (1300/1100)" Bakura then flips over the face down card and answer him with the name "Man-eater Bug" "Oh on that destroys my monster as well...leaving my life points open for an attack by your monsters" "I could destroy your life points and win the duel right here but what fun would that be?" Bakura says drawing out a card from his deck. He then places the card in-between both the monster zone, "I attack your life points with the Witty Phantom (1400/1300)" (Bakura 2000/Old man 600) The old man then places a card over the Witty Phantom declaring an attack on the card "Ushi Oni (2150/1920)" (Bakura 1250/ Old man 600) "Not bad old man.so you can duel after all! To bad that was your last turn. Now get ready for the move that will end this duel" He then place a Doma the Angel of Silence card on the field (1600/1400) "That's too weak to beat my Ushi Oni card young one" Bakura the flips over his two face down cards Mask of Brutality and Black pendent. "That's where your wrong old man. Mask of Brutality increases Doma attack power by 1000 points too 2600 but lowers Doma defence points by 1000 too 400 and Black pendent increases Doma's attack power again by 500 points bring the total attack power up to 3100" He then places the card on top of Ushi Oni declaring an attack on it. (Bakura 1250/ old man 0)

Bakura then gets up from the table taking back his card and also his newly won Ushi Oni cards. After he is done he heads back up the stairs and out the building. But unknown to him he was being watched during the duel.

"Anko? Why didn't you just face Bakura yourself? And take his two Millennium items?" "Mother really what funny would that be? And anyway Bakura is going to lead me to the rest of the Millennium items by using his Millennium ring.then we shall have the power father couldn't get us! The power of the seven Millennium items"
