Chapter 2
Yugi was on his way to Kaiba Land where an exhibition duel was set to happen between himself, Joey, Mai, Mako, Kaiba, and Ryou Bakura. As he came upon the Duel Monster theme park something exploded next to him. He hit the ground trying to guard himself from falling debris. Seto Kaiba, Malik Ishtar, and Ryou Bakura ran outside just in time to see about 10 robed men wearing masks. The men were shooting up the entrance using sticks of wood. They didn't have time to gawk as another well aimed spell his Malik in the chest. He fell to the ground unconscious. Seto and Ryou managed to find refuge behind a large piece of building façade that fell down. They was Yugi lying in the middle of the road bleeding from a head wound. He was trying to desperately to crawl to the safety of the building, but he was not making any leeway.
"Bakura switch with the Tomb Robber," Seto said.
"I-I can't. something is blocking our link and keeping him sealed in his soul room," Ryou said.
"Well we've got to help Yugi somehow before these freaks get him as well," Seto said.
"Freaks are we High Priest," someone drawled from behind the teens.
Ryou and Seto turned to see one of the masked men there. He was pointing his stick at them.
"Stupefy!" the man yelled and a light hit Ryou in the chest knocking him unconscious.
Seto just brought his hand up and was able to fire off a ball of condensed energy at the man. The robed man flew into the wall and landed on the ground unconscious. Seto then went to Ryou's side and saw that he was still alive, thankfully. Suddenly more robed people appeared also wielding stick, only they were unmasked and wore different colored robes. One elderly man in burgundy and gold robes with an extremely long beard tucked into his belt seemed to be the leader of this new group.
The black robed subjects disappeared as quickly as they came. Seto saw one of the new people pick-up Yugi and disappear. Another did the same to Malik, which only left himself and Ryou to get kidnapped. Seto grabbed the smaller teen and carried him towards the alley entrance to Kaiba Land. As soon as he was inside he took the elevator to the top floor where his second office was located. As he came into the office, Mokuba ran and hugged him. Seto laid the unconscious form of Ryou on the couch before collapsing into the chair.
"Big brother are you okay?" Mokuba asked, his gray-blue eyes shining with concern.
"I'm fine. Nothing that a good nights rest and a few Band-Aids won't fix," Kaiba responded, "And you, you didn't get hurt did you?"
"No, I'm okay. Those men didn't come inside," Mokuba responded, "Where's Malik and Yugi?"
"I'm not sure. There were more men and they disappeared with them," Kaiba told his brother, "Mokuba can you bring me the first aide kit and a cool damp rag."
"Sure big brother. I'll be right back," Mokuba scampered out of the office.
Seto leaned his head back on the chair and chanced closing his eyes for a moment. The young CEO heard a noise and saw that Ryou Bakura was beginning to wake. The albino teen saw Kaiba watching him and moaned in pain as a massive headache assaulted his brain. Ryou struggled to get into a sitting position.
"Kaiba what just happened?" Ryou asked thoroughly confused at the moment.
"I'm not sure, just that I know someone attacked us and then took off with Ishtar and Yugi," Kaiba said.
"Were they after the Sennen Items?" Ryou asked.
"Then why come after me then. I do not have on of those accursed items remember," Kaiba snapped at the other teen.
Ryou tried to think of another reason, but the throbbing of the headache wouldn't let him, "I don't know. Maybe they are just plain weirdoes and needed someone to pick on."
"Baka I highly doubt what you say," came the spirit of the ring's response as he materialized next to Ryou.
"I thought you were imprisoned in your soul room," Ryou commented.
"It was a feeble spell that only caught me off guard. I've seen better magick's used by five year olds," Yami Bakura said.
"So this magick was it aimed for you or the ring?" Kaiba inquired.
"Actually neither really. It was aimed for Ryou's own magick which is linked to both myself and the ring," Bakura responded.
"Me, but I don't have a single magical bone in my body. It must be a mistake," Ryou protested.
Bakura just 'hmphed' before vanishing into the ring once again.
"Seto!" came a cry through the entire floor.
"Mokuba?!" Seto yelled out before running to the door.
The young CEO didn't get very far before the door way was blocked by three men in black robes. One of the men held a struggling Mokuba which caused Kaiba to growl at the figure. The men all had wooden sticks pointed at the teens threateningly.
"The High Priest's and Tomb Robber's reincarnations. They each hold powerful magic that our Dark Lord wishes to possess and needs to possess," one of the masked figures said, "Now come along quietly and the young one won't be harmed, yet."
The man realized too late that threatening Mokuba in the presence of Seto Kaiba was a bad idea. Kaiba ran at the leader with a snarl. He managed to get in a few good punches before he heard his brother's pain filled screams. Seto stopped and the man threw the CEO back towards his desk in disgust. Seto saw his younger brother on the floor as pain filled his very being. Even the Tomb Robber stopped at the sight of the young boy in so much pain. The leader removed his mask and wiped the blood from his mouth. He smirked at the CEO before uttering something. Kaiba fell to the floor feeling the white-hot pain coursing through his veins. The last thing he saw before succumbing to the blessed darkness was the man kicking Mokuba in the ribs.
The Tomb Robber turned to the maskless man, "You Ra-damned bastard. You shall pay for what you have done."
The room began to grow dark as shadows crept in, the men were becoming fearful, "What is happening?"
/Bakura stop. Do not send them to the Shadow Realm/ Ryou pleaded with the spirit.
//Shut up weakling. If you can't stomach it then leave// Bakura snarled at the younger boy.
/Please, I beg of you Bakura. Do not do this/ Ryou tried once again, but was soon locked in his soul room, /No! Bakura don't!/
Bakura took hold of the Sennen Ring and was about to send the leader's mind to the Shadow Realm when another man appeared in front of him. Bakura growled deep in his throat at the sudden interruption.
"Look here old man you had best get out of my way before you become the first one to see the Shadow Realm in person," Bakura snarled at the old man in front of him.
"Calm yourself young man. I shall take care of these men myself," the man said in a calm baritone.
"Old man, I can handle them myself so move it or lose it," came Bakura's response.
"Such disrespect and impatience from the youth these days, eh Albus," came another's response behind the three men.
"Alastor who else is here?" came Dumbledore's response.
"Lupin only," Alastor 'Mad-eye' Moody said, "And the young man behind you looks ready to do some real harm by the way."
The three deatheaters looked at each other in amazement as the two men just spoke with each other like it was afternoon tea. The leader attempted to disapparate, but was somehow prevented from doing so.
"Release the boy at once," Moody said holding his wand at ready.
"You'll have to come for him, mudblood," the man holding Mokuba said.
The group of men suddenly heard a tremendous roar coming from near the silver-white haired boy. There stood at his side a large bug that looked hungry. Dumbledore moved away from the boy now curious and fearful as to where the monster came from.
"Release the boy or feel the teeth of my Man-Eater Bug, scum," the silver-white haired demon said in a low voice.
"I don't think so," the deatheater said.
"Man-Eater Bug attack him directly. Do not harm the boy," Bakura shouted out.
The living Duel Monster card advanced on the man holding Mokuba. Before it could attack there was a bright flash and another Duel Monster appeared. The spellcaster Maha Vailo chanted a spell and destroyed the Man-Eater Bug, which in turn destroyed the spellcaster as well. The deatheater shouted out as the young prisoner was taken from him. All three of the robed men were taken into custody by Lupin and a few other aurors. When the men turned their attention to the teens they saw a young man with tri-colored hair watching them through narrowed crimson eyes.
"Who are you?" Dumbledore asked the boy.
"No on you will remember that I promise. I request you to return my Hikari and the young Egyptian boy to me," the boy said.
"They are not in any trouble or distress I can assure you," Dumbledore told the boy.
"I will not ask you again. Return them or I shall let him…," he said pointing to Bakura, "…finish what he began."
"You seem to have a good heart so I do not think you would allow the death of another human being to sully your hands," Dumbledore said.
"Do not underestimate me, my dear man. I will do what is necessary to protect the child's life that I swore to," the Egyptian boy said, "Now return him."
"I would gladly return him if I didn't have one problem. When I release the wards that have been erected around this building the men in custody shall escape," Dumbledore said.
"They shall not for they have been spellbound until I choose to release them, which will be when I have gone," he said this time more forcefully.
"Very well," Dumbledore said releasing the wards and disappearing.
Soon the old man returned with two other people who were supporting Malik and Yugi. The young tri-color haired teen saw Yami waiting and stumbled over to him. The Egyptian boy also stumbled over to where the Dark Magician still held Mokuba.
"Now that you have what you have asked for, how shall you leave this room?" Dumbledore inquired.
"Easy by magic that your feeble mortal mind cannot start to comprehend," Bakura retorted.
Yami sent a glare to the Tomb Robber before gripping the golden puzzle around his neck. He began to chant in ancient Egyptian and soon all the men glowed crimson for a minute before it vanished. Once the light died down, there was no sign of the teens nor of the tall purple robed spellcaster. Dumbledore looked around feeling as if he should be remembering something but only hit a blank spot in his memories. He and the other Aurors disapparated taking the deatheaters with them. Yami watched the wizards carefully, now knowing that his aibou and friends were in danger. Yami left the building and went back to the Kame Card Shop where the others waited. Not one of the teens nor the Tomb Robber and the High Priest remembered what happened.
/Yami?/ Yugi asked.
//Yes Aibou, what is it?// Yami responded.
/Are you okay?/ Yugi asked concern in his youthful voice.
//I am fine, just thinking is all// Yami told him, not wanting the younger teen to find out about what occurred in Kaiba's office.
/Okay, well Kaiba said that he's canceling the exhibition duels until he can get Kaiba Land check to make sure nothing else happens/ Yugi told the Egyptian spirit.
//Okay Hikari. I will be in the puzzle// Yami told the boy.
Yami returned to the puzzle now trying to figure out how best to protect his companion and his friends. Yugi felt that Yami was hiding something. Yugi turned his attention to the conversation at hand, but was not entirely paying attention. Soon the group left the card shop to head back to their homes. Yugi decided to go to bed early, feeling emotionally and physically drained at the moment. Yami felt terrible for using his other half's energy without permission. He soon, too, fell into a troubling slumber.
A girl walked down an Egyptian street in Cairo trying to escape two black robed men who were chasing her. She hid in the shadows of an alley waiting for them to pass. She heard the fast approaching footfalls of the men and held her breath. As soon as they passed she left the alleyway hoping to find help somehow. She covered her head once again with her headdress and reattached the veil. Her deep violet eyes watched the night for more danger. Her guardian is going to be very upset with her for being out so late. Also once he finds out that she visited the shadier side of Cairo to play Duel Monsters she could very well be visiting Ra himself.
She made her way towards her home, pulling the cloak she wore tighter to block out the cold winds. As the teenager girl turned a corner she ran into an Egyptian man dressed in the traditional robes and turban. She said her apologies to the man in Arabic before going around him. She stopped though when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to face the turbaned man and snatched her arm away. The man's smoky blue eyes widened in surprise at her reaction to being touched.
"Ah Miss Mutou, I have finally found you," the man said in a smooth, calm voice that held a mysterious aire to it.
"I am not usually addressed by my birth given surname. Only my adopted father knows it," the girl said, "Now who are you. I do not take kindly to those who annoy me."
"Calm yourself. I am here to escort you home. Your father is quite worried for your safety," the man said.
"How do I know if you can be trusted?" the teen asked.
"Look into your heart and see for yourself," he responded.
The teen closed her eyes and focused her energy onto the man and found no ill will in his heart. She opened her eyes and focused onto his smoky blue ones. She gave a slight nod of her head and followed the man towards her home. They reached it about fifteen minutes later and found Ishmael pacing the floor. When he saw his adopted daughter he engulfed her into a hug.
"My daughter. How dare you worry me so," Ishmael Khalil said, "I do not know what I would of done if anything happened to you."
"I am sorry father. I got lost coming home and had to hid from a couple of men who were seeking me out," the girl explained.
"Saikuma Isis Mutou-Khalil you were in the quarters and lower market place once again weren't you," he reprimanded but stopped when he was the turbaned Egyptian, "Shadi my friend thank you."
"Khalil my friend I'm afraid the time has come to tell her," Shadi said to the man.
"Tell me what," the teen asked.
"Are you sure? I mean I truly do not feel she is ready. She is still too irresponsible. I mean look at what happened tonight," Ishmael Khalil told Shadi ignoring his adopted daughter's questions.
"Come on, I'm right here. Now tell me what," she prodded.
"I'm afraid it is not our choice. There are higher powers at work here," Shadi said.
"Very well. Come I shall make some tea then," Ishmael said leading the Egyptian and Saikuma into the kitchen.
The group sat down and began the long conversation to ensue.
