The Shrine

Ishizu and Odion stood outside of the shrine of the Millennium Items. Ishizu looked into the cave.

"This still disturbs me Odion," she said. "The Items where lost when Yugi won the Ceremonial Duel. Why did she insist on coming here?"

"The Millennium Items where the last thing that could open the Shadow Realm," Odion responded. "She wants to make sure the Shadows are sealed."

"Yes, but – " Ishizu was stopped by a sudden earthquake. "What's happening?"

"RUN!!" a woman's voice shouted from inside the shrine. "NOW!!"

Ishizu looked back, seeing her brother following a blonde American running towards them. Odion grabbed her arm and turned at a sprint. Ishizu's body kicked into action as she started running from the earthquake. The earthquake stopped with a loud crack and dust filled the air. Ishizu stopped and looked back. Marik was on the ground looking at the remnants of the shrine. Behind him stood the blonde American, a series stare across her recently tanned face. Ishizu and Odion walked up to them.

"What happened?" Odion asked, helping Marik up.

"I'm not really sure," said Marik, a bit shaken.

Ishizu looked at the American, the purple tips of her hair now visible. "Any ideas?"

The woman shook her head, breathing heavily. "It's not over. The Items have returned to this world."

"Meaning what exactly?" said Marik.

"I'm not sure," she replied shaking her head.


Yugi awoke with a start. "What was that all about?" he whispered. He touched his forehead realizing he was drenched in a cold sweat. He looked at his hands, then up at the box that he had kept the Millennium Puzzle in until it was finished. This can't be good.He sighed and lay back down. Looking up at the ceiling he thought about his strange dream and what it could mean. It had been a year since his duel with the Pharaoh and now he was having dreams about the Shadow Realm. A few minutes later he was back asleep.


Seto stood at the window in his office. He had once again fallen asleep at his desk because he didn't feel like going home. I thought these crazy dreams where over, he thought to himself. Why the hell am I still seeing these annoying visions? He sighed and stretched. He grabbed his jacket and walked out the door. Might as well. I got everything here done that I can. He turned the light off and walked into the elevator.

"Fate is still for morons like Yugi," he said. But why do I still have these visions?
