Summary: After life with the yami's, a new darkness appears and comes into play. At the museum where Ishizu Ishtar works, she gets a new display of items, which come from Egypt. Unknown to her, they are like the Millennium Items, but they hold within them spirits, like the Puzzle, Ring and Rod that Yugi, Ryou and Malik had. These spirits are ones of the Ancient Egyptian counterparts of their friends, Seto, Joey and Anzu.

Receiving a phone call on his cell phone, while walking with his friends, the sandy blonde answers the phone. "Malik Ishtar speaking." His friends look at him and then continuing chatting among themselves, leaving Malik to talking on his phone. They didn't want to disturb him, which would be rude of them.
"So I walked up t' him and 'old him, he better give me my A or else." Joey spoke, chuckling at his words. A smile appeared on Yugi's face beside him on the right and on Ryou's face on the other side of him. A brunette behind them rolled his eyes.
"You wish, puppy. In fact, it was the teacher who threatened you to bring your grades up or else you'll fail." The brunette behind them spoke, which received giggles from the other two and Joey turned around, stopping in his tracks and shook his fist at the boy. Yugi had clung on to his friend's arm, making sure it didn't start to become a punch towards the brunette Ryou pulled on the shirt that Joey was wearing.
"Come on, Kaiba. Take me on. Ya know ya'll lose." The boy wanted to punch the brunette named Kaiba, Seto Kaiba to be corrected, but his friends weren't going to let him. He backed off, after seeing the smirk on Kaiba's face and turned back around to walk. Yugi and Ryou sighed and placed a hand upon Joey's shoulders and continued their walk.
Malik shut his phone, ending his call and whistled to his friends. "Hey guys, let's go to the museum. My sister has something she wants to show us. It's going on display tomorrow, but she wants to show us before it goes on display." By the sounds of it, she really wanted to show the display to them the most.
Yugi nodded. "Yes, let's go, before we have to go home and study for the test tomorrow in math class, at least." The grouped agreed with him, besides Kaiba. They headed to the museum which wasn't from where they were and walked to the museum. Malik ushered them to the museum, but instead of going through the front door, they head to the back door, where Ishizu was waiting for them.
They all greeted Ishizu and walked in through the back door. Ishizu lead them through a another door way to a room filled with creates and other ancient artifacts. "Here, over here. This is what I wish to show you." She waved them over to a display case, showing four items, a staff, a finger ring, a bracelet, and a helmet, all shared the color of silver and with diamonds on them. "These are Silver Diamond Items, similar to your Millennium Items. Made after the Millennium Items were made, roughly around the same time. Though, it is unknown to who they were made for, a few say it was made for a High Mage of the time, but the hieroglyphics are so worn out and hard to read."
The grouped looked at them, amazed by the items, how shiny and gorgeous they were. Seto was even pulled in by them and staring at them, though he didn't know why exactly and he was more looking at the staff itself. "The jewels are made to fit within the silver itself, isn't it, Ishizu?" He asked glancing at the item a bit more, before standing up straight.
Ishizu nodded and agreed with Seto. "You are correct, Kaiba. Because the diamonds are within the silver, every diamond is accounted for. Very keen eye you have, Kaiba." She appraised Seto, though he just rolled his eyes. He didn't need to be treated like a child.
Ryou tilted his head a bit and giggled. 'Maybe they hold spirits as well. Like the yamis, that would be funny.' He thought to himself, though it was just a thought. It brought back the images of Bakura and his face sadden. "What's wrong, Ryou?" Yugi asked him noticing the sadness in his friend's eyes.
Swallowing hard, Ryou looked to Ishizu. "M-may I go look at the Millennium Items?" He licked his lips. Ishizu nodded and pointed to the door that would lead him out to the main showroom. Ryou bowed slightly and headed to the door to step out into the showroom. Joey decided to follow him and talk to him. He seemed bothered by something.
"You know, these items may have one important history. Perhaps Yami and the other yamis knew of it. I think that's why Ryou got sad because he thought of Bakura." Yugi sighed and looked to Malik, who felt the sting of Yugi's words. Marik may have been crazy, but he enjoyed his company, sometimes. Taking over his whole body, wasn't one of those times.
Seto grunted and rolled his eyes. He didn't miss them at all. In fact he was happy they were gone. The yamis were a horrible bunch to deal with. At least, they didn't exist in their time and only in the past. He bowed to Ishizu and headed out as well. Leaving Yugi, Malik and Ishizu to the Silver Diamond Items. "You know, I wonder how they found them in such good shape. I mean, were they buried in the ground or in a tomb?" Malik asked his sister.
"A tomb… One hidden not far from where we used to live in the tombs. I'm surprised we never ran into it, or discovered it for ourselves, brother." She told her brother and Yugi. Malik nodded and knew they had to belong to someone important, perhaps someone who was close to the Pharaoh. A High Mage is one to be close, but he never heard of their Pharaoh having a High Mage by his side.
Yugi smiled. "Well, I must say Ishizu, thank you for showing us this rare finding. Maybe these items had something to do with the Millennium ones, but the Millennium Items are no longer able to be used." Yugi said, thinking clearly on this and knew that they would never face another evil again, because they already defeated the evil.
"Perhaps you are right, none of the items work anymore, though Shadi has kept a much closer eye on them lately, visits every day and sits in front of the Millennium Items display case and watches them, expecting something to happen. I talk a bit to him, but all he tells me is the time will come for when the items will be used for their full power." Ishizu tells Yugi and Malik, patting them on the back and escorting them out of the room. "Come now, children. You must meet up with your friends and have fun. Also, Malik, please study for your test."
To Malik's surprise, he looked at his sister, wondering how she knew about the test. It was just given that day. He shrugged his shoulders. "Yes, sister. We came here to check out the display and will be headed to Yugi's to study then straight home." He smiled to her, giving her security that he would study and not slack off. Especially since she knew how Yugi and Ryou studied. Joey otherwise wasn't into studying and well, Kaiba was just too smart for his own good.
As everyone had left the room, little do the know of the girl with dark brown hair and blue eyes, and he name being Anzu , hiding behind some crates. She peaks up to see if the coast is clears and then makes her move. How she got it here was simple, she had followed the boys to the back of the museum and walked through the same door they did, just before it closed fully behind them. Then she snuck into the room they were in and waiting patiently for the group to leave.
Anzu walked over to the display case with the Silver Diamond Items placed inside. Her eyes flashed to a darker color before returning to blue again and grinning happily. "My precious…" She opened the glass case and reached inside, grabbing the bracelet and the helmet. Her eyes flashed again and she placed the bracelet upon her wrist and turned around, with the helmet in hand. Exiting the building, with grin on her face to match the grin of Bakura.
At Yugi's house, where the group of friends had decided to do their studying, there were two of the boys who seemed to be quiet, with a vibe of something not sitting right with them. There is something calling to them, yet they can't figure out what it is. Somehow, Yugi can sense this in his friend Joey, but keeps his mouth shut and focuses on studying.
"I can't understand how you get a square root of this number." Malik is the one to ask Ryou, who then goes into explaining to him. Malik nods his head and tries another question, but fails at his attempt at it. "Ah, I'm never going to pass this test at this rate." He groaned out. Ryou shakes his head and Seto speaks up. "If you are having difficulties with the question, I'll try to explain to you in the easiest way, even a mutt can figure it out." He said with a smirk to Joey who only glared at him. This was no time for fighting; he had to pass this test.
Seto moved closer to Malik and showed him the easy steps to the problem, which he then took those steps and did another question and completed it on his own, thanks to Seto. It was then Seto's phone began to ring and with a growl in his throat he answered the phone. "Kaiba here." He spoke and listened to the other on the other line. "Yes, Mokuba. I will home soon." And hung up the phone, to text his driver, before packing up everything.
"Ya gotta go, Kaiba?" Watched Seto put things in his school bag. "We'll miss ya." And Joey snickered a bit before returning to his work. Yugi, then stood up and Kaiba shot his a glare, which made Yugi take his seat again. "I know the way to the exit, Yugi. It was a pleasure to be here." He nodded his head to Yugi, who smiled and nodded back to him. "See you later, Seto." Called out Ryou and Malik, in sync, before returning to their books once again.
It left the four boys there, studying for about an hour; before Ryou yawned and Malik took it was a sign to walk his friend home. Come on Ryou, let's get you home, while you are still able to walk." Malik said, packing up his book bag and patted Ryou on the back. The poor snow-white hair boy nodded with a faint blush on his cheeks, as he remembered Malik carrying him home some nights.
Ryou reached over and hugged Yufi goodbye and put his books away. Taking a bow after his stood up and thanked Yugi's grandfather for allowing them to study here. Malik just waved his casual salute and left after Ryou, down stairs and out the door.
The two being alone gave Yugi the opportunity to ask Joey what the matter was. "Joey, what's been bothering you, you see so distant for some reason." Now here goes the talking and asking. Joey rolled his eyes, closing his books for the night. If he started to talk, there was no way he would be able to go back to studying.
"Ya see, at the museum. The items that Ishizu had gotten seemed t' pull me towards them. The one item that stuck out for me the most was the ring. Like it was tellin' me t' pick it up, or somethin' like that." Joey sighed and looked down at his hand, before balling it up in fist and closed his eyes. He opened his hand and he's eyes at the same time, looking up at Yugi. "It's just crazy talk. Forget that I even said anythin' t' ya at all, Yug'." And he processed to get up from his place on the floor.
"No, that's no crazy talk, Joey. I think I remember those feeling, when I was first completing the Millennium Puzzle." Yugi shook his head and got up to Joey and placed a hand on his friend's shoulder, looking up at him with his deep purple eyes that twinkled. "Maybe, you also have a connection to the Silver Diamond Items. We should go and see Ishizu tomorrow and ask her about it, she may know more to the items than she told us."
With a smile on Yugi's face, Joey seemed to relax a bit and nodded. Perhaps his friend may be right and they would find out tomorrow at the museum. Joey couldn't believe how smart his friend was. He patted Yugi on the back and placed his school books in his bag, before picking the bag up. "Well, I guess I'll be headin' her home. Gotta get some rest before the big test." Joey chuckled and headed out of the game shop, with Yugi following and waving goodbye to his friend before closing up the door to the game shop.
Sighing, Yugi was caught up with the thoughts of thinking of Yami. His twinkling eyes, finally created tears and they poured from his eyes. "Yami… I miss you. Where are you?" He cried in a whisper and wished he had his puzzle with him.
Spying on Yugi was Grandpa, Solomon. He shook his head and turned around to head to bed. 'Yugi, I know you are upset. But sometimes you have to stop living in the past, my grandson.' He walked down the hall to his bedroom for some sleep, before tomorrow.
