Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh! Ok? I'm only saying this disclaimer once and once only! I don't like having to say this damned thing everytime I update, all right?

Notes: This setting is in Ancient Egypt. Characters are Pharaoh Yami, Sorceress Sakura, Mokuba, Sorcerer Seto, Malik, Marik, Bakura and some others maybe. I really hope you review this!

**********

*Sakura's POV*

I sat on my bed in my chamber, wide awake. It was only late at night, and I couldn't sleep. Something happened to Pharaoh Yami, I just know it. He went out into town, and has yet to return. I just hope he's all right.

I heard a knock on my door. "Yes?"

"The priest wants to see you,"a guard said from behind the door.

"Ok, I'm coming."

I have to be called by the guards/slaves in order to see my brother. Yes, the priest is my brother. I can't just go into his chamber without being called or sent for.

**********

I walked out of my chamber, and over to Seto's. I knocked on the door lightly twice.

"Come in."

I slowly walked in. I saw Seto sitting on his bed, looking out at the window and he had one hand on Mokuba's back, who was currently sleeping at the time. I walked over to Seto, and sat down next to him.

"Has the pharaoh returned?"he asked me.

I shook my head sadly. I looked out the window of his chamber, and I saw millions...no trillions of stars.

*Seto's POV*

I looked over at Sakura, and her eyes had the reflection of a million stars in them. I smiled. I looked down at Mokuba, who was sound asleep.

"Seto?"I heard Sakura ask me.

"Hmmmm?"

"Will the pharaoh ever return?"she asked, almost ready to cry.

"I'm sure he will...someday,"I said.

"But...what if..."she broke down into tears.

I pulled her close and held her in my arms while she cried. She loved the pharaoh and nothing could change that. They were Pharaoh and Queen of Egypt. They were one of a kind.

"S-Seto?"she asked between sobs.

"Hmmm?"

"C-Can I st-stay here t-tonight?"she asked. "It's really lonely in my chamber without my pharaoh."

"Ok,"I said.

"Thank you,"she said, leaning her head against my chest, and falling asleep.

**********

*Yami's POV*

I had no idea where I was. All I knew was that I was in a desert. I was far away from the palace. I kept on thinking about Sakura. She was probably worried sick about me. Dissapearing and all. I hope she's ok.

"Pharaoh, hand over your Millenium Puzzle!"a voice yelled.

I looked over to see Malik and Marik, smirking.

"Never,"I bellowed. "Why would I want to give the puzzle to a low-life such as you?"I asked.

"So that I can be pharaoh and rule the world!"Marik said.

"Never."

"Then you shall pay the price,"Marik said. "I challenge you to a Shadow Game!"

"I accept!"

**********

*Sakura's POV*

I woke up from my sleep. I looked over, and Seto and Mokuba were asleep together, Seto with an arm wrapped around Mokuba, pulling him close.

I just knew my pharaoh was in trouble, and I had to find him.

"I'm sorry, Seto...but I have to go...I'll be back soon..."I said. I left a note, and gently kissed both of them farewell, and walked out of the chamber and out of the palace.

*********

*Yami's POV*

"I challenge you to a Shadow Game!"

"I accept!"

"2 on 1!"Marik said.

"That's not fair,"I said.

"No it isin't. So let's let this Shadow Game be on 2 against 2."

I looked over. Sorceress Sakura of the moon stood there, her staff in her hands. She smiled at me, but she looked at Malik and Marik with anger on her face. She walked over to me slowly.

"Pharaoh, where have you been I was so worried!"she exclaimed.

"I was stuck in this desert until I met up with these two,"I said, gesturing to Malik and Marik.

"And one more."

Bakura stood there, smirking and laughing.

"Bakura,"we both said at the same time.

"Ah, the pharaoh and queen,"he glared at Sakura for some reason, and started towards her.

"Don't touch her,"I hissed.

"Ah Pharaoh, overprotective, I see?"Marik asked, snickering.

**********

*Seto's POV*

I woke up the instant I heard the door close. I looked over and Sakura wasn't anywhere to be found. I was about to yell out for her, but then I remembered Mokuba was asleep and I didn't want to wake him.

I finally found a note on my table, from Sakura.

Dear Seto,

I can't stand it any longer. Not having Pharaoh Yami here is driving me to my edge. I must go find him before I completly lose myself in complete darkness. Goodbye, Seto, I will be back shortly.

Sorceress Sakura of the Moon

I just stared at the note blankly. What did she mean when she said 'Not having Pharaoh Yami here is driving me to my edge?'I thought. 'What edge? Before I completly lose myself in complete darkness?' I look down at the note once more, trying to make sense with it. Nothing comes to mind.

"Niisama?"

I look over and see Mokuba, who is wide awake.

"Niisama, is something wrong?"he asked me.

"Er...nothing's wrong, Mokuba, go back to sleep,"I said.

"Ok,"he said, unsure. "Goodnight, niisama."

"Goodnight, Mokuba."

**********

*Sakura's POV*

"A Shadow Game it is! But the tomb robber stays out of it!"I said.

"Hey!"Bakura shouted.

"2 against 3 isin't fair!"I said.

"Maybe we won't have to have a Shadow Game,"Bakura said advancing on me farther and his ring glowing.

I backed away. I was too scared to use any of my magic. My magic wasn't good for close comebat stuff like this anyways, it would be usless. I shrank back in total fear, hoping someone would rescue me from this freak.

"Bakura, LEAVE HER ALONE!"

Bakura and I looked over and Yami was standing beside Bakura glaring deathly at him. 'Pharaoh...'I thought. 'Thankyou...'

"Pharaoh, what can you possibly do to stop me?"he asked, holding out his hand to me.

I gasped. I looked over at Yami with pleading teary eyes. I was crying.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!"Yami yelled/hissed. Bakura didn't listen. His ring glowed and I screamed.

*Yami's POV*

"Bakura, what did you do?!"I demanded as Sakura's body fell to the ground in a heep, her kimono all messed up in the deserts sands.

"I stole her soul,"he said, snickering.

"You bastard..."

"Pharaoh, words won't bring her back..."

"Then what will?"

"Why, a simple Shadow Game, of course."

"Then let it be one on one. You against me, Bakura."

"Deal."

We both dissapeared after that.

**********

*Seto's POV*

I bolted up in bed. Something had just happened to my sister. I know it. If I didn't, then why did I sense her spirit in my chamber? Something is not right here.

I heard a mumble and looked down. Mokuba was tossing and turning in his sleep. I shook him to wake him up.

"Niisama?"he asked.

"Hmm?"

"What's wrong?"

"Mokuba........Sakura's spirit is in this chamber..."I explained.

"W-What d-do you mean?"he asked, grabbing hold of me, scared.

"I don't know myself, but something has happened to our sister"I said.

Then, I could've sworn I heard my name being called.

"Mokuba, did you just say my name?"I asked.

Mokuba shook his head.

'Seto...help me...'there's the voice again. But where was it coming from?

'Seto......help me......I need help......'

"Who are you?"I asked.

'Seto, it's me...'

"Sakura?!"

A spirit appeared in front of us and Mokuba clung to me for life. He burried his face in my chest and didn't let go of me.

"Sakura, what happened?"I asked.

*Mokuba's POV*

Sakura? I looked up slowly from Seto's chest, and he was right. Sakura was standing right in front of us. Tears were going down her pale face and her black hair was all sparkly.

*Sakura's POV*

"What happened to you?"Seto asked me.

"The d-damned tomb r-robber..."I sobbed.

"Bakura did this to you?!"Seto yelled.

I nodded, still crying.

"He'll pay for this."

"Pharaoh Yami challenged him to a Shadow Game."

"WHAT?!"
