A/N: Back with another fic! Sorry it took so long to put this one up, but as you may or may not know I'm working on short stories for each of the couples and I've been writing a few poems too! So check them out after you've finished reading this of course! For any readers new to reading my work, Domino City is in America, I didn't mean for it to be that way, it just works out better for all my stories. Anyway, hope you like it!

Amunet's Vengeance

Black, course anger

Flowing through my veins,

Let my havoc wreak,

Trying to ease the pain.

I open my eyes,

And all I see,

Is red, the color for rage,

It lives inside of me.

This...is my vengeance.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All the students were out of school in Domino City, for it was now Christmas time. Children were running around laughing, hoping Santa would bring them what they wished for this Christmas.

"Mommy! I want that for Christmas!"

The mother laughed. "We'll see." She said.

Bells were ringing, carolers were singing, and everything seemed to be going just fine.

Mina was running around with mistletoe, giving kisses to everyone.

Serena was on the phone with her mother, discussing their Christmas plans.

Lita was baking cookies for the party that was coming up with Raye and Amy's help.

Michelle and Trista were in their apartment, packing their stuff for the trip back home.

And Hotaru and Rini were on the playground, Hotaru pushing Rini on the swings.

Yes, they all could tell that this was going to be a wonderful Christmas indeed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ishizu Ishtar was standing in the middle of the desert in Cairo, Egypt, along with her archeological team.

After sealing away the Millennium items, she had thought that there would be nothing else left of ancient Egyptian history. Yet she was wrong.

The crane was just beginning to pull out the ancient artifact from underneath the Earth, when Marik, Ishizu's younger brother, arrived.

"Ishizu," he asked, "what did you find?"

"I don't know brother," she answered, "let's just hope that it's good."

"Will you put it in the museum?"

"That depends…" she murmured, placing her hand on her now bare neck. "Without the Millennium necklace, I can't tell…"

"Ms. Ishtar?" one of her crewmembers barked.

"Yes?"

"We've extracted the artifact. Come take a look."

As Ishizu made her way to the piece of ancient history she froze. It was a tablet. Just like the ones portraying Pharaoh Atem's past, the Egyptian gods, and the Millennium items.

When she saw the tablet in full view, she was stunned.

"No…no it can't be…" she whispered.

"Sister!" Marik called out, "Sister, what is it!?"

But Ishizu didn't have time to explain. For she started to run, unaware of the destruction she had unleashed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Mom, I know," Serena sighed. She was arguing on the phone with her mother. Again.

"Bunny darling," she replied, "I really think it's best if you come back home, to spend Christmas with the family."

"But we want to spend Christmas here!" she moaned. "You don't know how many friend's we've made!"

"I understand Serena," her mother said, "but we haven't seen you in months! Not since you went to America to study. All the other families think that you should come home too. Besides," she added, "Darien is coming back to Tokyo."

"WHAT!?!?" Serena yelped. "Oh…okay. I'll see you later Mom."

"Bye bye Bunny."

"So?" Raye asked, mixing dough together, "What did she say?"

"Are we going to stay here? Amy I think that's too many chocolate chips." Lita said.

"Oh! Sorry!"

Serena sighed. "We have to go back to Japan."

"Aww, bummer." Raye said.

"I was really looking forward to spending our first Christmas with Yugi and his friends."

"You mean with Joey," Serena giggled.

"Well…I…" Amy blushed.

"I guess I'll be staying here."

"What!?" the others gasped.

Lita lifted her chin. "Well, I don't have any family there. What's the point for me going?"

"To be with us silly!" Raye replied. "You can't stay here!"

"I don't know…"

"Oh come on Lita!" Serena whined. "I can't have a good Christmas without you!"

"You mean without her cake you fat pig!" Raye yelled.

"Ooh…!"

"Stop it you two!" Amy yelled.

"I better tell Mina the good news," Raye said dryly, reaching for the phone.

Lita and Amy went back to making cookies, while Serena stared out the window.

"Huh?" she mumbled. She rubbed her eyes then stared out the window again. Before she thought she had seen a girl in a white dress. Now, there was nothing.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Uh-huh. Oh, okay." Mina shut off her cell phone. She sighed. She wasn't too happy about leaving Domino City this winter. Which is why she had baked dozens of cookies for Seto Kaiba and his little brother Mokuba.

Mina opened the doors to KaibaCorp. Everybody nodded or greeted her in some way, since she was now a regular here.

"Merry Christmas!!!" she shouted, opening the doors to Kaiba's office.

Mokuba and Kaiba looked up to see an always-chipper Mina dressed all in white, a basket of goodies at hand, and, instead of the usual ribbon in her hair, there was mistletoe.

She knelt down to give Mokuba a peck on the cheek and handed him the cookies.

"Thanks Mina!" he laughed. "But…it's not Christmas yet."

Before Mina answered, she went behind Kaiba's chair and gave him a kiss on the cheek, just in time to seem his face turn redder than a tomato. Mokuba held back a snicker.

Then Mina's face fell. "I know," she started sadly, "but I won't be here this Christmas."

"What? Why not?" Mokuba asked.

By now Kaiba had turned away from his work too.

"Well, me and my friends, we have to go home this winter. But don't worry! It's only two weeks!" Both Mokuba and Kaiba could see that she was trying to make everyone feel better. It wasn't working.

"Huh. That's weird." Mokuba said, staring out the window.

Mina looked outside. "What? That it's snowing?"

"It doesn't snow much here," Mokuba replied, his hands pressed against the cool glass.

"Well, it looks like you all are going to have a white Christmas!" Mina stood next to Mokuba, and together they watched the crystal-like snowflakes fall down onto the Earth below, a breathtaking sight.

Seto Kaiba resumed his work, although the snow in Domino City was strange, he had seen things far more unbelieving than that. So, this didn't really have an effect on him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I better get Hotaru's things in her suitcase," Michelle murmured, heading toward her room.

In the living room of Michelle, Trista, and Hotaru's apartment was an assortment of suitcases and handbags, all of the things needed to take back with them for Japan.

Trista was folding clothes into her suitcase, but then her attention was caught by the news. She turned the volume up. "Michelle," she said, "come take a look at this."

"What is it?" Michelle asked. She froze right when she saw what was on the television.

"In other related news, different parts of the world are experiencing some extreme weather. Snow in Hawaii, earthquakes in northern Greenland, and temperatures are dropping rapidly in parts of Africa. There has been no explanation from any experts on the situation, although many believe that we will be facing what is now known as, "The End". Residents are panicking and evacuating their houses, going to relatives and other friends. More updates on this story soon. Martha Brown, Channel 5 News…"

Trista turned the volume down after the report had ended.

"Well…" was all Michelle could get out. Somehow she could actually feel what was going on, the tides were shifting all across the earth, she could feel it inside of her.

"I sense something's coming," Trista said.

Michelle nodded. "Think we should warn the others?"

Trista shook her head. "Not yet. Let's get more information first. After all, this could be nothing to worry about, there are so many natural environmental factors that could be causing this…"

"You're right. Besides it might scare them."

"It's getting late. You'd better call Hotaru to come home. Serena and her friends want to throw a party before we leave tomorrow."

"Right." And Michelle left.

Trista sat back down, and placed her head in her hands. Is the world really coming to an end?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Laughter was heard all throughout the Scouts' home, the time for the party had finally arrived, and tonight, putting all worries behind, they were going to have fun.

"Oh I love your dress Hotaru!" Rini squealed, feeling the soft felt of her plum dress.

"Thank you Rini. You look amazing!"

"Rini?" Yugi asked.

"Huh? Yeah Yugi?"

"Would you like to dance?" He held out his hand to her.

Rini felt her heart sing. "O-of course!" she stuttered, placing her hand in his.

Yugi led her to the dance floor (which was really just the living room with all of the furniture pushed up against the wall), and began to do a slow waltz.

Rini tried to concentrate on dancing, but that was pretty hard, considering all of the snickers from a few girls (namely Serena), and so Rini began to trip and stumble. Fortunately, Yugi was able to hold her up.

"Oh look at Rini!" Serena giggled. "Doesn't she look adorable dancing with Yugi?"

"Serena you meatball head!" Raye yelled. "Quit spying on Rini! You're making her nervous!"

"Can't a mom watch her future daughter dance?"

"C'mon Serena," Darien said, "let's dance."

"Oh…um…well, okay." Right when they began to dance, Serena's heel got caught up in her dress and she flat out fell on Darien, knocking him over, which knocked over every other person in the room.

"Serena you goofball!" Rini shouted. "Can't you do anything right?!"

"Oh, I'm so sorry!!!" Serena cried, sitting on Darien.

"S-serena you're kind of squishing me," he grunted.

"That's our Bunny," Mina sighed, who had stumbled onto Seto Kaiba. It took a few moments before everything had gotten back to normal and the party went back to being the delightful extravaganza that it was intended to be.

The tables were cluttered with dishes of all kind, made by Lita of course. Ham, turkey, chicken, mashed potatoes, corn and many traditional Japanese dishes. The desert table was full of cobblers, cakes and pies, which Serena just couldn't take her eyes off of.

"Serena pay attention," Darien told her, who didn't want to have another accident again.

"When are we going to eat?" she whined.

Rini rolled her eyes and looked at Yugi. He was facing the other way, his eyes seemed lost.

"Yugi?" she asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hmm? Oh, it's nothing Rini."

Rini got angry. "Don't you dare use that on me! Something's wrong and you're gonna tell me what!"

Yugi sighed. "My life," he started, "it never seems like it's going to be normal. After…after the Pharaoh left I thought I could live like a normal kid. We defeated Dove…but I know something else is coming…"

Rini squeezed Yugi's hand. "That's why all of your friends are here with you. Whatever happens, we're in it together."

Yugi nodded, and smiled a little. "Yeah."

"Now c'mon, let's get to dinner before Serena finishes it all!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joey leaned back against the chair and patted his stomach. "Well, I'm satisfied."

"You should be," Tea snapped, "You practically ate everything that was on the table!"

"I'm just surprised he didn't chomp off his plate!" Tristan grinned.

"Nuh-uh. Not my big brother." Serenity smiled.

"I think it's time for us to go home," Michelle stood up, and went to get her coat.

Trista nodded. "Yes, we have to wake up bright and early for the plane back to Tokyo."

"Are you coming to see us off Yugi?" Rini asked.

"Of course! Why wouldn't we?"

"You'll be coming too, right sunshine?" asked Mina, her bright blue eyes full of curiosity.

"We wouldn't have it any other way." Mokuba answered for him.

"Okay, okay, everybody out of here!" Serena yelled. "Who do you think has to wash all these dishes! Get out of here!"

"Serena you're so rude." Raye mumbled.

"No, she's right." Yugi said. "Let's go guys."

Tea was putting on the furry brown coat she came in when she looked outside. "Hey guys, it's snowing pretty hard out there…"

"I'm sure it's just a coincidence Tea," Tristan offered, "it's snowed over here before."

"Yeah but not this much." Joey said, pulling back the curtains.

"Let's just get home before a blizzard comes," Tea shivered, "See you guys tomorrow!"

"Bye!"

After everyone had left, the girls began to clear the tables and wash the dishes.

"Do you really think the snow is just a coincidence?" Mina asked, pushing the sofa back into its place.

"Who knows," Raye muttered, straightening out the cushions. "I'm sure if anything was serious, they'd show it on the news." Although the scouts hadn't watched the news all day, except for Michelle and Trista.

Rini, who was supposed to be in bed, was sitting on the staircase, listening in to the conversation.

"If anything bad were to happen," Lita called from the kitchen, "the Sailor Scouts would fix it."

"Yes, I'm sure with our new powers we'd be able to defeat it no problem."

Amy agreed.

"Just make sure you don't tell Rini," Serena warned them, "She's already pretty down about leaving Yugi, we don't want to put more weight on her shoulders."

Darien nodded in agreement. "Serena's right. Let's just try to make the best out of this, for Rini's sake."

Rini shook her head furiously, she didn't want to hear anymore. She quietly ran up the steps, and into her room, wanting to slam the door, but instead, closing it gently.

They think I'm a little kid. She thought sadly. Rini flopped onto her bed and hid under the covers, she felt like crying.

"Small Lady what's wrong?"

"Huh? Oh…it's you Diana." Rini sighed. "I'm only two years younger than everybody else, and I'm still treated like a little girl."

"They only want to protect you. Don't forget, Serena is Neo-Queen Serenity in the future, also you mom, so she has maternal feelings toward you."

"I'm more mature than that meatball head Serena!!!" Rini shouted. She covered her mouth, hoping that everyone downstairs didn't hear that.

"Rini, you're plane takes off at five o'clock in the morning, and it's already midnight, you should get some sleep."

"Mmm, you're right Diana," Rini murmured, already lying against the pink pillows. I am not a little girl, I am a small lady…

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yugi stretched out his arms and yawned. He heard a creak from his door and turned around.

"It's just me Yugi," his grandfather said.

"Oh, grandpa, you scared me for a minute."

"So, how was the party?"

"Grandpa!"

"Sorry, I promised I wouldn't have asked but…"

Yugi sighed. "It was fine, it's too bad that they're leaving tomorrow…"

Solomon sat down with Yugi on the bed, laying his hand on Yugi's shoulder. "What is it about this Rini girl you like so much?"

Yugi immediately blushed. "Who said anything about Rini?"

"Oh come on, you know whenever somebody says her name, your face goes red as a tomato's!"

Yugi knew he couldn't deny that. He shrugged. "I have no idea Grandpa, I…I just feel really close to her, that's all. After everything we've been through…she's such an easy target, y'know? I'm afraid someone's going to hurt her…"

Yugi's Grandfather laid his hand on his grandson's shoulder, and said, "I understand my boy. But you'll see her again. Now get some sleep, or you'll miss going to the airport!"

He nodded, crawling under the covers. "Okay. Good night Grandpa."

"Good night, Yugi." Solomon turned off the light and gently shut the door behind him.

Only a few minutes into sleep that Yugi's phone began to ring.

"Who could that be?" he murmured, picking up the phone. "Hello?"

"Yugi!" an urgent voice said.

Yugi sat up in bed. "Ishizu!?"

"I need your help." She whispered, "We've found another tablet…"

"Wait, another tablet! That's impossible, the Pharaoh…he's gone Ishizu, there's no way…"

"You must come to Egypt quickly! I'm afraid a new enemy has been unleashed…"

"Right now? Do you know what time it is?!"

"Please Yugi," Ishizu pleaded. "The fate of the world rests in your hands."

He sighed. "It always does." Oh wait! What about Rini? I can't just go without saying goodbye!

"I've already called Kaiba, and your friends," she continued. "Seto Kaiba will personally take you and your friends to Egypt on one of his jets. I'll be seeing you shortly."

"Kaiba offered?"

"Well…not really, I had to convince him a little, but he agreed. Now hurry! Before it's too late…!"

For a moment Yugi was quiet. Why should I go? He thought bitterly. Why not let someone else handle it? Finally he sighed and said, "All right Ishizu. I'll be there." And he placed the phone back into its cradle gently.

His grandfather opened the door. "Yugi, who was that?"

Yugi looked up at his grandfather and solemnly said, "Grandpa. I'm going to Egypt."
