The Wings of a Pegasus
Chapter 4: Shadi and Her Power
Shadi looked down at the peacefully sleeping woman-child before him. She was curled up with a small Slifer in her arms. The god at peace, curled in her embrace. As he got closer he heard a hiss and noticed her pillow was not a pillow at all but one of the other Ka. "Who are you?" She said sitting up he noticed a small Blue Eyed dragon crawl from beneath her blanket. "I am Shadi. I am here to help you." And he began to explain. Finally when he got near the end of his strength and the tale he finished. "I need you to focus. And Focus hard! Call the items to you. Save them, and those who command them. Call them Hurry!" She pulled on The Ring and the Scepter. And with a large pop they were before her. She had done it. "Good job. Now you will be able to call them and the Ka who protect at will. This is my gift to you. This power and my Item."
Kage sat up on her bed something heavy bounced off her chest. It was looped on a leather cords around her neck. She reached down and picked one up, it was a large gold key with an Eye on it. As well as the Ring. Its spears glinted in the morning light. Her dream was real he was gone. This was the Millennium key. The Scepter was in her left hand. Tears welled up in her eyes and spilled over. He also left a message for Yugi. "Diabound?" The White serpent appeared. "I need to leave here.. Its not safe..."He nodded. Kage noticed Slifer's Card and smiled thinking of Yugi. She put the card in a plastic case in her bra over her heart. "Can anyone tell me how to get to Domino High school?" One of the nurse's gave her a map when checked out against their wishes. But they were happy when she told them she would be transferring to a different hospital closer to home. She made her way to the school allowing Diabound to guide without questions.
When she got the the gates the school was just letting out and she saw someone she missed. "Rex!" She called and a few people whirled to look at her. She knew they had washed the red dye out of her hair and it was white again. They had also removed her colored contacts. But despite that Rex Raptor was no fool, he knew that voice. "Kage!" He went to he and after a brief explanation and the arrival of Weevil. They went to find the others. It was Weevil who spotted Joey first. "Wheeler! STOP!" Joey stopped and nearly fell down the stairs. "Yug, Is that who I think it is?" Then the girl cried out when some one bumped into her. "Oww!" She fell to the floor. The Item on her chest glowed dimly for a moment. "Kage!"
Bakura barked and the woman smiled at the dark man who swept her off the floor. "I was afraid in the hospital. Some one visited me there and left a message." She turned to Yugi. "Shadi visited me last night. They came for him and his item.. By now he is gone. To his pharaoh he leaves his power and his will to never give up. That was his message."She turned and started to cry. Tea Had to ask a question. "I know this will sound insensitive and harsh but how did you find us." Kage smiled, letting her know she wasn't offended. "Diabound. Slifer. And a map." Five minutes later she was asleep in Bakura's arms. The Item glowed again now around Bakura's neck.
The boy sighed. "What did my Yami do to this girl. "Ryou she likes him." The boy nearly dropped Kage in shock. Duke,Seto,Isis and Marik arrived shortly Isis woke Kage who yelped trying to back away. "Isis you are frightening her!" Marik said. "Marik?"He had only enough time to nod before she launched herself into his arms and was happily curled against him. "Shadi was taken away, He visited me."She told him and they all were stunned. She trusted Marik and Bakura most of all. She tried to hide herself behind Marik. She slipped the Scepter into his hand and he tightened his grip on her in gratitude. He reached out and grasped a strand of her platinum mane. "Is this your real color." She nodded. "Don't dye it any more. "Ok." He looked her in the eyes and was lost for a moment purple and blue swirled together to make a unique blend neither one or the other. "The Eyes of a dragon." He mumbled "Huh?" She said. "Nothing Kage."He growled and she smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist. "What are you doing?" He asked. "Hiding behind you." He snorted. His Ka was pleased his master was keeping the girl close. "Kage!" The girl turned and noticed her injuries were bleeding again. "Oops" She was dragged off to a secret apartment near Kaiba land and left there with Mokuba and a doctor to keep an eye on her.
Time and time again she kept calling the items to her Mokuba being the only one to see it and know of the power and its purpose. It drove Bakura nuts trying to find his ring only to have the girl keep winding up returning it. The affection she showed the item was startling. She was always cleaning and caressing the item It made the Thief quiver in remembrance of the soft fingers and gentle hands. The Duels of the Finals began to play out as planned.
Kage day by day was becoming more aware of an evil near her and asked Mokuba to sit in on her appointment. All was going well until he pulled out and Scalpel and lunged for Mokuba. Kage didn't think or fear she reacted. She felt only rage and the need to protect. She swung her left arm. "Slifer!" The Scepter appeared and she cracked the doctor across the face knocking him cold. Leaving an imprint of the side of the gold rod on his face. "Are you alright?" Mokuba started Laughing. "You busted Doctor Putter's face up and you ask if I'm OK? Yeah I'm great. But, How the hell Did you do that? Call that thing.. And use it." She smiled at him.
