Hello. This is for Indigo Tantarian's challenge to pair a char. someone with Shadi or one or her OCs. If you haven't read her fic "Three in One Combo", then you might get confused by some parts of this story. The couple is Scale/Senui X Mai. Sorry all Mai/Jounouchi fans! Mai/Jounouchi is one of my fave couples, but I also like seeing other people being paired with Mai. If you're restricted to Jounouchi/Mai, then I suggest you click the Back button on your browser.

[Scale to Shadi or Ankh]

'thoughts '

^Suma to anybody^

I heard that in Ancient Egypt, Bakura's name was Akifa. Suma will call him Akifa, but everyone else will refer to him as Bakura. She will also call Scale Senui, Ankh she will call Ankhkare, and Yami she'll call Pharaoh Yuugiou or just Yuugiou while everyone else will use their regular names. I'll be using Japanese names. The following is a guide to the Japanese names or terms I might use:

Aibou=Partner

Sennen Items = Millennium Items

Ankh = Key

Tauk = Necklace

Hai = Yes

Iie = no

Hentai= pervert

Baka = Stupid, Idiot, etc.

Onna = Woman, Female

Gaki = Brat

Rishid = Odion

Anzu Mazaki = Tea Gardner

Jounouchi (Jou) Katsuya = Joey Wheeler

Shizuka Katsuya =Serenity Wheeler

Honda Hiroto = Tristan Taylor

Ryou Bakura = Bakura Ryou

Isis Ishtar/Ishtal = Ishizu Ishtar

Malik/Marik/Mariku Ishtar/Ishtal = Marik Ishtar

Pegasus J. Crawford = Maximillion Pegasus

Cynthia Crawford = Cecelia Pegasus

Sugoroku Mutou = Solomon Muto

Otogi Ryuuji = Duke Devlin

Mai Kujaku = Mai Valentine

All the other characters either had the same name in both versions, isn't mentioned in the fic, or I couldn't think of right away is not on the list. As you might have guessed, Yami Bakura is Bakura and Regular Bakura is Ryou. Now on with the fic!

*********************************************************************

It was a normal day in Domino City. Birds were flying, the sun was shining, cars were passing by, and Shadi, Malik, Ryou, and Isis were all suddenly zapped into the game shop where Yugi was at. Yes, it was a very normal day. Wait just a cotton pickin' minute! Shadi, Malik, Ryou and Isis suddenly appeared in the same room as Yugi!?! That ain't normal. Let's take a look at this, shall we?

Yugi was in the Kame Game Shop completely bored. Yami was asleep in his soul room, Anzu was visiting her grandmother in Tokyo today, Honda was sick, Jounouchi had decided to make good on his promise to Shizuka to take her to the beach, His and he hadn't talked to Ryou since he saw him at school yesterday. Mai was supposed to be coming by later. Bakura had taken her Harpie Lady card last time they saw her and had hid it in the coffee container at Yugi's. Unfortunately for Bakura, Mai was REALLY mad when she found out. There wasn't much damage done to the card and Mai was coming to pick it up. At the moment, however, no one was there and Yugi was VERY bored. Suddenly, Malik, Ryou, Shadi, and Isis appeared in the room. Yugi of course, was very surprised by this. After he got out of his shock, he finally said something.

"How the heck did all of you get here!?!"

Shadi, Ryou, Isis, and Malik were also surprised by this. After they realized where they were at, or at least got an idea of where they were at, Isis answered him.

"All I know is it was some sort of magic. But I don't know who brought us here, or why."

[It took her long enough to tell us what we already know. Or at least what those of us who aren't baka weaklings know.]

// Scale, don't be so rude. //

[Well it's obvious that we were brought here by magic. The Baka Onna shouldn't waste our time telling us stuff we already know!]

// Scale, you really shouldn't talk about Isis like that! //

[ I guess I might not should around you, because like her, you too are a Baka Onna.]

/ I see that you have picked up some of the Japanese language. But that is enough Scale. Stop insulting people! /

[And I should listen to the King of Bakas because?]

/Because I need to be able to concentrate to be able to figure out what is going on! Don't you want to know who brought us here!?! /

[Yes.]

/Then be quiet! /

[Fine.]

/Oh, and Scale/

[What!?!]

/ You should be more creative with your insults. It's good that you're learning more of the Japanese names, but baka does wear off after a while. /

[Shut Up!]

Shadi and Isis were trying to figure out who had brought them there, Yugi was trying to wake up Yami, Ryou was TRYING to talk to Bakura and see if he knew what was going on, and Malik was just...there. Let's take a look at Yami's soul room and see if Yugi's having any luck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~

Yugi was in Yami's soul room attempting to wake Yami up, but this was an extremely hard task.

/YAMI, WAKE UP!!!!!!!!/

Yugi of course didn't hear any response. He hadn't expected to. The only thing that ever worked was ice. Unfortunately, the last time Yugi used ice to wake Yami up, he sent the refrigerator to the Shadow Realm. Sugoroku was now out buying a new one. Yami turned over in his sleep, clutched his pillow, and mumbled "Isis."

'It's no use, he's sound asleep. Oh well, I guess I'll have to talk to him later. I better not tell Malik what Yami said in his sleep. I don't want to deal with an angry Malik.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~

Just as Yugi was snapping back to reality, Shadi and Isis were finally figuring out what was going on as they both said the same name.

"Suma."

"Who's Suma?" Ryou asked, curiosity overwhelming him.

"She's an immortal person that every thousand years must see how well things are going with the Sennen Items and their owners. She must also see how well the guardian of the Sennen Items is doing his job. She is very powerful when it comes to magic and can see what we are doing at any time she feels like it so she'll always know if somebody is lying to her." Isis answered.

[You mean to tell me that that Baka Onna is finally getting around to doing her job?]

/ / Scale, you really shouldn't talk about Suma like that. She might've been really busy with other stuff. //

[For the last five millennia?]

^ No, I just never saw it necessary until now. ^

[Who the heck are you and what doing in MY mind!?!]

/ Who's mind? /

[I'm the only one here that actually has a mind.]

// But I thought me and you shared this mind with Shadi. //

/ I guess he doesn't appreciate us enough to mention us. /

^ Apparently not. ^

/ Who are you anyway? /

^ I am Suma. Now drop out of this conversation so I can make myself known to the others. ^

Shadi did as he was told. Just as he did, a woman with dark purple hair and dark green eyes appeared. She had tan skin and was obviously Egyptian. Ryou and Yugi were slightly afraid, Isis wasn't, and Malik had apparently fallen asleep out of boredom.

"It is alright, you need not be afraid. I am Suma."

Ryou and Yugi calmed down a bit. Suma seemed like a nice person. She was mysterious, but nice. She began to speak again.

"I have been watching the events of this millennium, and I'm not very happy about them. Pharaoh Yuugiou almost killed Seto Kaiba, the true holder of the Sennen Rod. Akifa, or Bakura as you call him, is obsessed with blood, ungrateful to his host, and took the Sennen Eye from its true owner. Senui gave the Sennen Rod to Malik instead of its true owner, which caused Malik to go insane and create an entirely different spirit. The worst part is that Shadi, the guardian of the Sennen Items, and Ankhkare, the spirit of the Ankh who is more powerful than Senui, allowed everything to happen. The only spirits that I'm not disappointed in is the spirit of the Tauk, and Seth (don't own him.), the spirit of the Rod. They shall go by unpunished. The spirits of the Scales, Ankh, Puzzle, and Ring must be punished. So shall the guardian of the Sennen Items. I will bring the spirits out now."

Suma began to chant a spell in Egyptian. After she was finished, the spirits of the Ring, Puzzle, Scales, and Ankh appeared. Yami was still asleep and seemed to be wondering where "Isis" went, Ankh was perfectly content, and Scale was angry. Bakura was the spirit that everybody was watching. He didn't seem to notice the change and was listening to a CD player, singing along with it, and dancing to it. Let's take a look at this, shall we?

"I was driving through Georgia in late July

 On a day hot enough to make the devil sigh

 I saw a homemade sign written in red

 Run county watermelon festival ahead

Well I wasn't in a hurry

So I slowed down

 Took a two lane road to a one horse town

There was a party going on when I got there

 I heard a welcome speech from a small town mayor

He said we got a hundred gallons

Of sweet red wine

Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine

 Help yourself to some

But obey the law

If you drink don't drive Do the watermelon crawl."

By this time, everybody was laughing their heads off and Bakura finally noticed that he was no longer in his soul room and definitely was not alone. He was of couse VERY, VERY mad. (Not to mention embarrassed.)

"HOW THE HECK DID I GET HERE, WHY ARE ALL OF YOU HERE, WHO THE HECK IS SHE, AND WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

"Suma brought you here, we're here because she brought us here, her name is Suma, and we're laughing at you," Scale answered the best he could through his laughter.

Everyone continued to laugh until either tears appeared in their eyes or they got the hiccups. Bakura's face was as redder than a tomato by the time they stopped. Finally, everybody got over what they had seen, but still wished they had a camera at that time.

After that little scene was over with, they tried to wake up Yami. They tried water, yelling, food, Bakura's CD, and almost everything else you could think of. Finally, Bakura walked over to Yami and brought his foot down on Yami's stomach really hard.

"YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

After Yami caught his breath, which took a while, Suma explained everything to him.

"So what are our punishments?" Yami asked.

"Akifa's punishment was getting caught singing and your punishment was missing it."

Bakura growled as she continued.

" Shadi, Senui, and Ankhkare must live in Japan for two weeks. During that time, they will live as normal people and won't be able to use magic."

"WHAT!?! "Ankh, Shadi, and Scale all said at once.

"Don't argue. I think it will be best this way. Don't worry about not knowing the language. Whenever someone hears you speak, they will think you are speaking in Japanese. I think that Senui just needs to learn how to care for someone and show it. As for Ankhkare and Shadi, I think they can handle this punishment."

"What makes you say that I can care for anyone? And even if I did, who would it be?"

"I think that a couple of weeks as a mortal will have an effect on you. And as for who, I believe a suitable person will be arriving soon."

After she said that, she disappeared without another word.

// Aibou, are we expecting company? //

/Mai/
