Priestess of the God Cards

Summary(Major Spoilers in this story!)

Kagome travels to ancient Egypt making friends with pharaohs, priests and others instead of Feudal era Japan. She falls in love but knows it is futile returning to the future her soul baring grief and duties to the three she bonded with, to find and keep in her care. Off she goes to duellist kingdom to see the creator and what destiny has in store for her in the present and future.

Chapter 1

Little feet ran on patio stones as she twirled about her eyes shining with wonder as she chased the lights playing with her. Her blue silver tinted eyes shining with happiness as she happily played with the fur ball that kept making "Kurooo" sounds with big eyes and green feet.

All around she sees so many interesting things she turns to her mommy on the porch with her hand around her big tummy that has a bright glowing light emitting from it that she loves to place her hand on as it glows even more at her touch learning it, welcoming it and loving it. The light knows her as she knows him. Her little brother her mommy says and daddy is coming up the steps of the shrine as Kagome runs to him throwing her arms around his leg as she hangs on and he laughs dragging his now heavy leg with her on to the house where he greeted his wife and swooped Kagome up into the air and brought her close to his chest holding her.

"How are your friends today Kagome?"He asks not unsurprised as she told of her adventures around the shrine with the many imaginary friends she has...no the spirits she sees.

"Oh they were telling me all about their friends and stories about a place where the land is all sand as far as the eye can see! Can you believe it? And how they have funny trees and plants and people are really hot a lot so they wear a lot of white instead of black and they don't look like we do!" Kagome said as she played with his hair as Horito thought with surprise as he looked at his wife who shrugged.

"The place they are telling you about is called Egypt, I think I have a book on it somewhere why don't you ask Grandpa to show you?" Kagome nodded and after being put down ran off to find her grandfather who happily started showing her legends and tales of the other land so full of gods like their own.

"How are you today?" He asked his wife as he kissed her and laid a hand on her large tummy holding Kagome's little brother.

"Good, better than all the other woman at the doctor's appointment~" Kun-loon giggled as she told him. "They were so surprised about me not having morning sickness or any problems at all except having difficulty rolling around no pains or anything, they wanted to know my secret~"

He laughed knowing that along with everyone in the family knew it was Kagome who helped her mother not wanting anything to happen to her talks to Souta as they finally named him to keep quiet for mommy and not make her sick.

Kagome was the prodigal daughter of his family line with more spiritual power than any he has ever heard of. She was already going to begin training under his father to control her miko powers and learn everything possible but he wondered...why were Egyptian spirits mingling here with the Japanese ones recently? He will consult his father about this later and consult the scrolls.

Kagome is four.

Kagome is 13

"Kagome! Can you find Souta?" Called Kun Loon as she yelled out to her daughter through the window in the kitchen washing the dishes. "It is Lunch time!"

"Hai!" Kagome was wearing her miko garb sweeping the patio stones as she looked up at the spirit to her right. "Will you help me find him?" The spirit whirled around her once before flying off to check around the shrine as she did looking for her brother when she heard noises coming from the shed that housed the old Bone Eaters well that consumed demons remains.

"Souta?"

"Nee-chan! I think Buyo is trapped! He is at the bottom of the well!"

"Now how in the world did he get in there." Kagome thought as she walked towards the shed while her grandfather and mother came out hearing the commotion as they went to the well peering down seeing the fat cat at the bottom.

"I'll go get him," Kagome said hopping down the ladder with ease sliding down from her highly athletic skills and track team club activities as well as the archery club on the side as well being the reigning female champion in the Tokyo district.

Kagome grabbed the cat feeling the ground beneath her stir and her spiritual awareness tingling...Kagome swiftly climbed back up the ladder and held out Buyo for Granpa to take when suddenly a flash of light exploded beneath her and she looked down to see a funnel and then she was falling down into it and her family shouting at her only to black out.

From now on the past in Egypt will be flash backs in italics

Kagome gasped as she appeared in the well again and looked around her eyes harder and older as she slowly go to her feet looking around in a slight daze as shock set in leaning against the wall for support.

"I-I'm back?...But why am I crying?" Kagome whispered feeling ears flowing down her face as flashes of the hot dessert sun and the wonderful Egyptian nights and all those she befriended and left but more importantly the one man she fell in love with...she will never see again.

"Kagome?" Ra said in her mind as he fluttered about and the other two were suddenly surrounding her in warmth.

"Yah?" Kagome replied as she connected to the three beings she became the guardian of. How weird, the voices in her head were the same yet they were older not that they weren't old and wise before but ... something has changed, no everything has changed for herself and she was no longer the sweet innocent girl anymore.

"KAGOME! MOM, GRANDPA, SHE'S BACK!" Souta yelled out as Kagome looked up and started climbing up the ladder and landed in front of her brother as he grabbed her in a hug before pulling back with a frown.

"Nee- chan...why do you have a tan and where did you get that outfit?" Kagome looked down as her simple white toga gown with a slit up the sides up to mid thigh her hair pulled back in a ponytail and tied off with a leather strap and a golden ornament of flowers resting on top with a tiara like crown simple but elegant resting on her brow with a golden armlet and ankle bracelets with leather strapped sandaled boots as she had a blue sash tied around her waist and a necklace of blue sapphire eye blue eyes white dragon on a leather cord hidden underneath along with a small rectangle stone engraving of a magician girl. In fact the blue eyes were the same but the sapphire gems were where the eyes should be.

Both acted like dog tags the Americans wear and were for the same purpose...when friends died there wasn't time to take their bodies so the survivors only take their identification tags to hang around their own to return with. These were the engravings of her friends shrunken to her preference as they died in her arms in a battle that should never have happened and a fight she wished never took so many precious lives.

"Mana...Kisara...why?" Kagome said softly as she cried in front of her brother she hasn't seen in a year as she broke down and felt two arms wrap around her holding her as she cried as another two sets of arms came around her to hold her leading her into the house where they can take care of her now that she was back home safe and sound after being gone for one year.

"How is she?" Kun-loon asked grandpa as he came back down while Souta stayed behind.

"She traveled to ancient Egypt as far as I can tell and made a few friends and some died in a battle so she is a little bit...ok a lot upset. She is getting over it with Souta's help but I think she may have fallen in love with someone though she refuses to say anything."

"My poor baby girl..."

"Come now we should have known this would happen we knew when her powers came out that the scroll said she would go on a journey to a far away land and return in one year wiser and more powerful than before. It's just that being wise comes with sacrifice."

"Still, I hope that she can be able to catch up, being stuck in the past isn't good for her, she needs a new purpose..."

Souta stared worried at his sister who has been gone for a year missin her fourteenth birthday and going on fifteen this year as spring sakura blossoms fall. She has been a zombie and he got her out of the house but he doesn't know what to do with her so he asked his best friend Mokuba.

He has been his best friend for years and has played at there shrine many times and Mom forces his older brother who doesn't put too much effort into having him eat dinner with them.

Mokuba told him once that he thinks Seto likes the dinner and the way she treats him like her son since they don't have a mother and it feels good and the cooking his great.

Seto and Kagome had been cordial to each other and even though she is younger than him by one year he kind of took the three of them in as family with Mokuba first and the rest of them second in life, he searched for Kagome but could never find her even when they told him she fell in the well he doesn't believe in the magic crap.

So when he called them up to say she came back Mokuba came over to see her and saw she was upset.

"She doesn't have the usual spark in her that can talk Seto down...or ruffles my hair, what happened?"

"Not sure but she needs something to do o take her mind off of the last year to get her back on her feet."

"Oh I Know!" Both cried at the same time before looking at each other with smirks.

"I will go help her choose her cards and get her starter deck,"

"I will call my brother, he mentioned he would help if he could in his own ...unique way..." Mokuba said as they broke off to run into the house and down the shrine steps.

Souta dragged his older sister to a store where he helped her buy a few packs and a starter pack she chose as he explained everything he knew about spells and traps and life points and what each was for and how they were important to the game Duel monsters he was explain to her seeing the interest in her eyes.

Kagome closed her eyes as her hands hovered over the concealed packaged decks of cards and picked up the ones that were calling to her with familiarity as she bought them all and returned home to open them up in her room to see her friends staring up at her as Souta fell off the bed wide eyed.

"T-T-That's Blue Eyes White Dragon! The Lord of the Moon Sesshomaru with his true form up grade, Taiyoukai Sesshomaru Lord of the West! And the Cat Fire Guardian Kirara! How in the world?" Souta was flabbergasted as he tore open another deck. "Magician girl! Holy crap Ne-chan what the hell did you do?"

"You said to chose the concealed cards wisely but it was random I just went with my instincts I guess...so Seto is going to help me learn and be a decent enough player huh."

"I asked Mokuba and he and Seto agreed to help..." Souta was staring wide eyed at the card as he remembered Kaiba's obsession with the blue eyes white dragon card and he winced inwardly. This was going to get interesting there were only five ever made with one thought to be lost so that would make four...I wonder if she has the lost card or the fourth...Seto would know.

"Ne-chan...are you going to be ok?"

Kagome just smiled at him softly as she caressed the cards of her friends and she felt there warmth and spirit caress her own soul as if saying, welcome back, in there own special ways with Kisara's soft smile and calm nature and Mana's bubbly personality. It was no surprise as she felt a stock nod of approval from the Lord and Kirara rub and purr against her affectionately in spirit as they rose to curl around her.

"I am now Souta, I am now...they will always be with me...here." She pointed at her heart and sighed before turning to her cards and started separating all the magic, monster and trap cards reading over all of them carefully and laughing at the few amusing ones and raising her eyebrow at the weird ones as Souta helped her familiarize herself with what spells and traps work and don't work against re-counting his own duels he did and what worked.

After going through it all and finally settling her familiarity down pat and putting them all together in a single deck she left forKaiba corp where Seto was waiting to teach her how to be a "decent apponent so he wouldn't get bored with all the loser players..." He went on for a while over the phone but he seems to be lacking competition and a friend to rant his problems too as well as a girl that won't be looking for his money to take to functions with so he won't be bored out of his mind and stuck with hopeless ditzes.

Kagoem felt the love and told him so with very deep sarcasm in her voice that she can almost see his smirk as he replied in turn.

After putting her deck on her bed side table and going to sleep that night she dreamed of the past.

Sun burned down blazing in the heat as Kagome sat on the low wall looking out over the dessert one knee up her arms around it and the other swinging back and forth down on the wall as she felt a presence coming up beside her.

"I know your there...Mana." Kagome said as a girl plopped down beside her, her brown spiky hair and armour pieces in it and gown shifting slightly.

"Aww man! You're so good at that just like master is! How did you know it was me? A spell of knowing? A tracker?" She said while getting more and higher pitched and voice getting faster and faster before Kagome brought her finger over her mouth to shush her before turning mischief blue eyes at her twinkling merrily.

"Your loud in footsteps you couldn't be quiet if your life depended on it Manna!" She burst out laughing at her sad puppy eyed look as she started whining and flailing her arms causing Kagome to fall backwards on the ground laughing safely from the edge and being tackled by Manna as they rolled around a bit. There simple white garments twisting with their bodies.

"What are you too laughing about now?" A voice interrupted them giggling at their upturned faces before Mana yelled out in happiness.

"Kisara! Kagome said I am really loud! Tell her wrong I can be quiet in fact I overheard a very interesting conversation in the palace today while going to my Master's room!" She giggled mischievously as the other two looked on as she suddenly was beside Kisara standing as Kagome looked up sitting on the ground as she said conspiringly in Kisara's ear making sure that Kagome could hear as she spoke.

"Someone was asking about our dear Kagome-chan and was asking how she was doing in the palace after we found her in the dessert!" This caused Kagome to look warningly at the other two as she shouted hey at there knowing looks and the blush starting to grow on her face.

"It was a man~ A very important man~ Who likes oooourrr Kagomeeeeee~" Mana was so dead as Kagome pounced at her with Kisara being used as a shield the two started laughing and dodging around each other in the rays of sunlight as they taunted Kagome about her being a beauty that ensnares all men in her web as she cried out no she did not as they teased her mercilessly about all the men who gazed at her starry eyed un aware of the higher wall above them where someone watched over them.

"Mana causing trouble again?" A voice spoke to the one watching his apprentice play with the white haired girl Kisara and the most pure being in spiritual powers and foreign features Kagome who he found in the dessert with his millennium ring, Mahad.

Kagome he saw was wrapped in white spiritual light and was meant to be here to protect the pharaoh and maybe something more. He knew she came from far Far away and would return eventually seeing her hurt at the bottom of a dried out well. He traveled one week to get to the village with Mana to get her as he foresaw and the one week traveling back teaching her their customs and people had Mana bonding with the girl and the one Priest Seto took in becoming best friends.

Her pale skin was like Kisara's but not in a sickly way and her blue eyes sparkled like the Nile when the sun reflected off of it her long black mane of hair thick and glinted blue in the light was captivating to all they passed and he wondered how he would prevent the men from making untoward advances upon her when she used an unfamiliar hand to hand combat style to flip a man over in the air and pin him to the ground with his arm behind his back and knee in his spine causing him to lift an eyebrow at this and Mana ecstatic wanting to be taught this from her new friend who agreed to teach this judo to her for self defence for all women in the palace.

This was over a month ago and Kagome as her name was told gained quiet the reputation for herself as a priestess of holy light without any millennium items and spiritual prowess with communicating to the spirits he has never thought to see ever. She teaches in the city in an old building to the poor and unprivileged how to protect themselves and plays with the children with Kisara's help watching over them.

Many have noticed her and think her a reincarnation of a goddess with her beauty in inner light glow. She captured many a men's gaze and love much to their foolishness and befriended almost all she met including High Priest Seto a feet only Kisara had before her. His pharaoh heard of her as well and has yet to actually meet and formally be introduced but he has been watching like now.

"My Pharaoh...when hasn't your dear friend been anything but trouble?" He said amused looking back at him as the spiky haired king came beside him to look down at the girls and his gaze strayed to the one with black hair as his gaze became softer as Mahad rolled his eyes amused.

"True...Mana could always find away to make people smile...its why she is one of my dearest friends all these years..."

"And overheard us talking about the foreign Priestess earlier..." He said looking down keeping an eye on both as Atem stiffened and became nervous as he watched the group nervously.

"S-She did?" Mahad was roaring with laughter inside not showing an thing on the surface as he saw the unflappable ruler become nervous about what his friend over heard about her best friend and his secret crush he has on her much to his amusement unable to have the courage to go up and greet her.

"Atem...you are a great Pharaoh...but as a man you have some serious need of a backbone in regards to that girl you have developed feelings for and have yet to even greet or even know of your presence beyond what Mana says about you and the other servants..." he trailed off clapping him on the shoulder sympathetically as he turned away back inside as Atem stuttered looking back and forth between Mana down below and Mahad.

"W-wait! What do you mean she has been talking about me? What has she been telling her? Gods Mana knows all my faults and most embarrassing ...Oh great Raw save me she will tell her everything I don't wish Kagome to know!" He rushed after Mahad as he tried to get the older man tell him what he knew.

Kagome woke from her happy dream of playing in the sun as she stretched and looked at the clock noting the time and got herself ready and grabbed her deck and putting on a belt with a deck holder as she placed her deck inside it after checking her necklace and kissing each tablet for luck and quickly got down stairs and grabbed a piece of toast as she ran out of the house with Souta waiting at the bottom of the steps waving at her before walking setting off to Kaiba corp where she met the brooding brown haired older boy who gave her a once over before grabbing her hand and pulling her behind a door and the torture and lectures began as well as the chess games and strategies playing her constantly and evaluating her cards and twitching over the blue eyes she held and scanning the cards he never heard of that came very close to over powering his own blues eyes but not the ultimate dragon. He found out that she had the lost card which was helpful to know and he grudgingly allowed her to keep but was still looking for the other blue eyes as Kagome looked up from a match they were having she saw Kisara shaking her head at the man and sighing exasperatingly.

Kagome trained with him for a month with endless games and computer battles and facing off others before finally facing her seriously in a duel with his own deck and by the time they were done they had played six games with her winning three and him winning three and he won the tie breaker at seven making him deeply satisfied with the opponent and challenger he created to get him using his brain but still making him king of games.

"Kagome you are ready now, here Mokuba made this for you as a joke, stupid kids."

He handed over a black trench coat similar to the white one he has but hers had sleeves. As agreed to protect her identity after she realized the possibility of publicity she wore a mask that covered the upper half of her face and pulled her hair in a pony tail wearing a blue short skirt and white shirt underneath with white and blue strapped boots with a inch heel on them that where thick made her very mysterious and stylish for a fifteen year old she just turned.

After going out into the world of gaming she quickly took down any completion and became the number one ranked female duellist in the country and Queen of Duel Monsters and was entered in the tournament along with Kaiba hosted by the creator of the game himself Pegasus, he was very interested in her.

Do not show your face...the time has come...he has awakened but does not remember not until all the pieces beyond the puzzle are assembled. A ghostly apparition whispered behind Kagome as she sat in class for her last year of middle school and going in to the same high school Seto was in much to the dismay of Mokuba and Souta who were freshmen.

What do you mean...the puzzle? You mean...! Kagome thought back to Shaadi, that was in full Egyptian regal as he nodded and looked out the window.

The gods are angry, they are only peaceful now because I calm them down but they want to tear the man who dared bind them to the cards apart. Only tasting his pain in dreams won't be enough soon they will break free... Kagome thought back to him as he nodded in understanding to her as the priestess of the Egyptian God cards and holder of a piece of there very souls she was very important in the journey yet to come only if he pasts the tests he will face soon as does the reincarnation of Seto the high Priest.

Don't worry the family that was guarding his tomb...Kagome winced at this as he continued on, ...have made an extra card you shall be given once you meet the holder of the millennium necklace none other knows of its existence and we shall keep it that way.

At this he vanished leaving her huffing but smiled just the same. He's alive! His soul followed me here just like he said he would! Oh...I knew if anyone can follow me back to the future you could. Kagome thought as she smiled back at the fond memories and the man she came to love under the hot sun and cool moon lit nights.

End of first chapter, so what do you all think? There will be a lot more flashbacks form now on and the tournament is the one with Weevile and Rex before Kaiba went nuts after losing to Yugi so he is in there until the semi finals when he dropped out. I will not be going in to too much detail abou the duels because really...how can we just maybe a few made up spells and traps mentions of cards of a duel seen on the episodes but that is the best I can do really. She does not like Yugi period! He is way to innocent reminds her of her brother a bit but that's it. The pairing is Yami and affection and understanding with Seto a kinship of sorts.
