twists and turns so read and review! (Sorry for the blue color but I wanted to print this and my printer ran out
of black ink, and I'm to lazy to change it back to black)

Marik's Apprentice
The night after Battle City, Marik and Yami Bikoura were looking to train someone in their ways of mischief. As they searched they came across a young girl reading a book titled "Egyptology your guide to". Yami Bikoura stopped and elbowed Marik in the ribs hard, then said, "She looks like a promising young mortal let's try her." Marik walks up to the girl and asks her name she replies "Danielle" but shortly after speaking those words a strange look of malice and malevolence spreads over her pretty face and her voice darkens as she replies "I'm Ketaruema, what's it to you?" Both Marik and Yami Bikoura stand there, mouths gaping in disbelief. Several moments later Yami Bikoura stammers out "you have a Yami too?" "Of course I do." Danielle/Ketatuema replies "Don't both of you?" Yami Bikoura nudges Marik and says, "I told you she looked promising." Marik shoots Yami Bikoura a sour look as if to say, "O shut up you a-hole or I'll send you to the shadow realm." By that time Danielle/Ketatuema was getting very impatient so she got up and said, "if you don't tell me your names and state your business with me, I'm leaving." Marik and Yami Bikoura again stunned by this girl's rashness meekly stood up and gave her their names. Danielle back to herself by then apologized for her disrespect towards them and her yami's outburst for she didn't realize who they were. She got to her feet, bowed to Marik and said, "I will be your servant if you desire it" Marik shocked by this statement quickly said, "No, I don't need you for that. Today I need you for an entirely different reason I need an apprentice to carry on my ways." Danielle gasped, and Ketaruema took control answering "yes master of darkness, I accept your offer." "Good," said Marik "follow me and your training shall begin." "Hey! Aren't you forgetting me? I need her too," Interrupted Yami Bikoura. Shortly afterward as Danielle/Ketatuema was following them to their hideout they stopped and asked how she got a yami without having a millennium item. _______________________________________________________________________ She stopped and answered "it all started five millennia ago when my yami still had her own flesh, she was the High priestess of Ra's temple and the love of a very prominent high priest by the name of Seto. (Ketaruema takes over) He truly did love me. If it wasn't for that Heishin (mentally: @#!$^%^^#!) I would still be with him.\ / Heishin was on a rampage trying to obtain all of the millennium ^ Items and Seto the keeper of the millennium rod was looking for a way to hide it from Heishin so he came up with a brilliant idea. (Or at the time it was) The idea was to give the item to me and have me go into hiding, but Heishin would not be fooled that easily and came after me. He cornered me and challenged me to a duel. (I was an excellent duelist, and at the time I could beat Seto in a duel) things went wrong from the start in the beginning he brought me to the shadow realm and things went downhill from there. In the end I lost, my body damaged beyond repair and my mind in the shadow realm my love Seto was thrown into a deep despair that I feel he has yet to come out of. The best that the healer mage could do to comfort Seto was to release my soul and mind from the shadows and tell him that we would be together in another life. And that's all that I remember from then. Danielle it's your turn. (Danielle takes over) I got my yami on a family vacation to Egypt; on a museum tour I snuck away and found myself in a strange burial chamber. There was an odd glow coming from the sarcophagi, I walked towards it even though my mind was screaming "run" I reached out and touched it, and then a blaze of light tore my conciseness from me. I blacked out and woke up on a bench with medics surrounding me I asked what happened and they told me they found me laying unconscious in the east hall. Startled I asked them about the burial chamber, strangely they told me that there was no burial chamber in the whole museum. I explained to them what had just happened to me and they said that I must have dreamed it all, but I knew I hadn't. Afterwards when my family and I were leaving a strange man came out of nowhere and gave me a cryptic warning "beware for you have unlocked great magic and great danger, beware the rod-bearer for he is your doom." (In Marik's mind: I am the rod-bearer how could I bring her doom, I have no desire to kill her or anything.) But I never took it as a warning I just thought he was a strange man, when I tried to ask him to clarify his warning, he just told me his name was Shadi and that we would meet again. Shortly after I got back to America, I began to black out frequently especially after someone made me angry. And strange things began to happen to me like people in my school started to avoid me and when I tried to talk to them they acted all scared and ran from me. From my friends I discovered I had a dark side, a yami. Well that's the story, any questions?" _______________________________________________________________________ Yami Bikoura asked why did Ketaruema come back.

Ketaruema: Basically for revenge and to find Seto again.

Marik: I know someone named Seto do you think he is the one you're looking for?

Ketaruema: Bring me to him! Yami Bikoura and Marik turn around and start whispering to each other. Finally they turned around and faced Danielle/Ketaruema and told her they would take her to him. When they got to Kaiba co. Danielle/Ketaruema was speechless she could feel her love In the next room. She rushed in to see him but the two huge bodyguards stopped her. Or so they thought, in a powerful blast of shadow magic she got through leaving both bodyguards unconscious on the floor for Marik and Yami Bikoura to step over. (Ketaruema's mind) "Finally I shall get to see my Seto again!" Ketaruema runs in only to find in place of her beloved there was a small boy. "Who are you and where is Seto?" she demands. A tall man steps out of the shadows and says "that is mokuba and I'm Seto, but more important question is who are you and how did you get past the guards?" Ketaruema, Stunned by that last comment, answered "Don't you recognize me Seto, I'm Ketaruema, remember? And how I got past your guards you should know also." "I don't know any Ketaruema, and for how you got in I don't know either." Answered Seto. "Search deep within your soul Seto and I know you'll find that you do know me, and for a little help, Marik I need you now." Marik walks into the room mokuba gasps and Seto growls out "You!" "Kaiba you remember me, I'm touched." Says Marik "yeah, touched in the head," replies Seto. "Marik would you please hand Seto the millennium Rod?" asked Ketaruema. (Mentally Marik spoke to Yami Bikoura and asked, "why are we being so nice to her?" "To gain her trust and to see her power you idiot" Yami Bikoura replied sharply.) Grudgingly Marik handed Seto Kaiba the Millennium Rod and almost immediately a bright light shone and on Seto's forehead appeared the eye of Horus. In a different almost ancient voice he spoke, "Ketaruema my love I thought that I had lost you forever!" "Yes, my love I am here after all of this time. I have found you again, now let us seek revenge upon those who caused us so much pain!" (Marik takes back the Millennium Rod and Seto comes out of his trance very startled and bewildered) "What did you do to me?" Seto demands "now do you remember who I am?" asks Ketaruema. "You, you're that silver hared woman I saw, but you were different and I was filled with feelings of rage and sorrow." Said Seto who was apparently quite shaken. "Yes that was me shortly after you had discovered what Heishin had done to me. You loved me Seto, I know that is hard to believe but you did five millennia ago." Sadly answered Ketaruema with tears in her eyes. "You witch, how dare you mess with me and my mind! Get out! Get out!" roars Seto Kaiba. Devastated that he would do that to her, Ketaruema ran out of Kaiba co. and didn't stop until Marik and Yami Bikoura caught up with her. "Now about that training," Danielle/Ketatuema asked, "when does it start?" "Finally!" exclaimed Marik.
