Chains of the Seal
Chapter 7

In the Domino Museum, a guard was doing his rounds, making sure there were no late-night perpetrators about the museum. As he walked, he came across a painting with an oddly dressed woman holding a finger over her lips. He flashed the flashlight over the painting and was slightly confused, remembering a different image being there. He only shrugged and continued on, never seeing the small figure from outside dashing behind a column.

Early the next morning, Yugi was practicing his sketching, using Kero for a model. "Why did you want me to do this again?" he asked. "Because my class is heading to the museum today to sketch or paint some of the artwork there." Yugi replied as he finished up the sketch and showed it to him. "How does it look?" he asked. Kero took a glance at it and reeled back in shock. "That doesn't look anything like me!" he protested.
"Hey, I'm not the greatest artist around. I think this is good." Yugi mumbled, looking back at the picture before sighing. "Oh who am I kidding? I'm horrible at this." The smaller teen groaned, placing the book down on the bed. "Oh, don't beat yourself up about it, Yugi. Keep at it and you might get better." Yugi gave another sigh before he heard his grandfather calling him, telling him that breakfast was ready and he got up, promising to bring some dessert to Kero before leaving out the door. Kero watched him go before looking back to the picture. 'Maybe I can help him out by making a few modifications of my own…' The guardian thought before grabbing the pencil and got to work.

After breakfast, Yugi gathered his things before leaving out for school. A few minutes later, the class got onto the bus and was on their way to the museum. When they got there, Terada-sensei (I officially keeping him the same as I'm giving up with thinking of who to have play as him) gave them directions before they headed into the museum.
The curator of the museum came up and told them where they would be sketching before leaving to his own business and the class split up into groups before going off someplace to work. Ryou and Yugi became partners and they headed over to a complex statue that rested near the center of the room. "This looks like a very hard one to sketch out." Yugi pointed out as they sat down and took out their sketchbooks. When Yugi flipped his open, he gaped at the drawing that was once Kero. 'Darn him. I said it was worse enough then he had to go and make his own changes.' The boy thought vehemently as he looked to the red-penciled drawing over Kero's image done by said guardian. Ryou looked over to him. "Is something wrong, Yugi? Do you wish to work in the courtyard instead?" he asked.
"Oh no! Nothing's wrong!" he said quickly as he flipped to a fresh page and the two got to work. After a while, Yugi held up his sketch and looked at it from different angles. "I'm done! What about you, Ryou?" Yugi asked, looking to him and gasped. "Amazing!" he whispered as he look at the detailed painting Ryou done of the structure. He turned to look out the window to the courtyard and saw Malik waving to him from outside. "Looks like Malik wants to see us. Do you want to head to the courtyard with the others?" he asked. "Let me just finish up here then I'll meet you outside." Ryou replied, looking up to Yugi. He nodded and stood, closing his sketchbook before dashing off. "Let's see, where the entrance to the courtyard?" he murmured as he came around a corner into a small hall filled with artwork and stopped, looking over to a small boy who was looking up to a painting. After a few seconds, he stood on top of his bag that he had resting on the floor. Yugi turned away to look for the door once more before he heard a guard shouting. "Hey! What are you doing?!" he snapped as he grabbed the kid who now had a flat blade in hand. "Are you trying to ruin one of these paintings?!" The guard demanded, the kid struggling in his grip before the guard let him go. "That's my papa's painting! Someone defaced it and I'm going to fix it!" he growled. "There was another image there!" Yugi watched the entire thing silently before he realized something. As the kid dashed away from the guard's hands and went over to the painting once more, the woman in the painting started to move, raising a finger up to her lips for silence. The boy, who was trying to fix the painting, gasped in shock and soon, the room started to blur about them.
People were talking, but Yugi didn't hear a thing. 'What's going on?' he wondered before everything returned to normal. The guard stood behind the boy, arms crossed. "You caused enough trouble for today." he said as he took the boy's bag, the tag on it snapping off, before leading the child from the museum. Yugi watched as they left before turning back to the picture. 'There's something weird about that picture.' Yugi thought before he continued his search for the door leading out into the courtyard.

After failing to find the door outside, Yugi headed back down the hall where the commotion started and looked at the picture once more before spotting the nametag resting on the floor. "What's this?" Yugi reached down to grab the nametag resting on the floor. Violet hues glanced over the name before looking up, hearing Terada-sensei calling, telling him that they were leaving. The boy looked to the tag once more before pocketing it and left. Once they got back to school and left out, once they placed their things back into their schoolbags, Yugi walked with Ryou and Diamond towards home. "It was very odd, though. I was just standing there, watching the entire thing and when the picture moved, everything blurred around me and things got silent. I couldn't hear a thing but it was only for a few seconds before everything returned to normal." Yugi explained. "You don't think that was the work of some cursed artist that died an unfortunate death, do you?" he whispered.
"I don't think so. If the picture moved on its own, I can conclude it to be only one thing." Diamond hummed. Yugi thought for a minute before realizing what she was getting at. "You don't mean that it could be a Clow card?" She nodded and Yugi knew she had to be right. 'I must feel really stupid right now to think it was a curse. After what happened with the Illusion card, I must be thinking that every weird thing is the work of a ghost.' Yugi thought with a sigh before looking to the light, realizing that it was "No walking" but all the other students were already across the street. "Darn! While we were talking, we forgot to cross!" he exclaimed and Diamond chuckled, patting his head.
From above, Yami watched, smiling softly before leaving, eyes blinded from the bright rays of the sun.

That night, after Yugi ate dinner and knew that his grandfather and father was asleep, he turned off his own light before heading over to the window and opened it, climbing down with use of the drain pipe beside his window. Once he was on the ground, he sighed, glad to get this far. "Now, Yugi. What are you doing out so late?" A voice asked and he jumped slightly before turning to see Seth and Aqua standing there. "Oh! Hi guys." he squeaked, waving slightly. "Hello to you too but you never answered my question. It's late now so what are you doing up?" Aqua asked again. "Oh, me? I'm...going to go see the moon tonight." Yugi lied. "What about you two?"
"We're going to stop by Jou's house. Said he needed help with some class work and I happened to come across him along the way." Seth said as he motioned to Aqua. "I see. Well, I better not waste any more of your time, then." Yugi said and they nodded as they started to leave but as Seth continued to walk, Aqua stopped and turned back to him. "Don't stay up too late, little one. And we won't tell Jou that's you're out tonight. Such a shame that I may not see you again for a while." he whispered, smiling before he walked on. Yugi had a slight flush over his cheeks after he left but shook it off as he strapped on his skates and started making his way to the museum where Diamond and Ryou are waiting.

"The Silent?" Diamond questioned.
"Yes. The Silent hates loud noises so any sound it hears will dispose of it." Kero explained, coming out from the bag Yugi kept him hidden in. "That would explain why it's hidden in the museum. It's pretty \ quiet all hours of the day if not for quiet conversations." Ryou declared. "So what is the card's other powers?" he asked. "Well, not only does it make sound disappear, at the same time..." he started.
"At the same time…what?" Yugi urged on.
"I'm not completely sure."
Everyone's face vaulted and Yugi huffed. "And you still call yourself the Beast of the Seal…" he grumbled and Kero sent a glare his way. "Hey, Silent doesn't speak much so I don't know much of its personality!" he defended. "Oh well, we'll find out when we get in there. Time for you to get dressed, Yugi." Diamond spoke as Ryou picked out an outfit and both climbed out to let him have some privacy. While Yugi was dressing, they heard someone coming and looked up to see Yami descending. "Oh, hi there." Ryou said, giving a wave to the other. /Hello./ Kero examined him close before realizing something was different. "Hey, Yami? Why are your eyes so foggy?" he questioned, staying beside Ryou just in case he lashed out. The dragon huffed slightly. /When I'm in the sun too long, my eyes start to fog over, making me blind for a short period of time./ he explained. "If that's true, then why doesn't it happen when you were in Yugi's room?" he asked again.
/Because, I don't sleep directly under the skylight so I don't get affected. Besides, the sun is rarely over the skylight when I'm there./ Yugi soon walked out and Yami looked over to him before grinning. /Nice battle outfit for this night, small one./ he purred and Yugi blushed. What he wore this time was a two-piece, form-fitting outfit. It consisted of a long sleeve shirt that ended just above his stomach and short pants that ended around mid-thigh. The material was of a dark blue that looked almost black due to the shadows of nighttime and was accentuated with slate grey diamonds that were slightly translucent, revealing patches of skin. He wore high boots of the same color with the same pattern of slate grey diamonds lining the sides. A small hat rested over tri colored locks and hands were covered with a pair of black leather, fingerless gloves. On his back was a small pair and angelic wings, only there were a shade of grey to match the color theme of the outfit. "Yeah, it is nice. I like it." Yugi complimented. "Well, you are a thief and they should never catch one's eye." Ryou commenting, smiling. "Yeah but it's not like I'm going to steal something form there while I'm at it." he said, pouting. Yami chuckled softly and walked over, nuzzling him. /Of course not but from what I know, you are planning to sneak into a museum with high security, am I right?/ he questioned.
"Yep. He is." Diamond said before taking out a sheet of paper. "And a guard will come across the painting that we're going for in exactly one hour." she continued and Yugi looked to the sheet. "Wow! Where'd you get this from? It's an entire sheet of the guards' patrolling times." Yugi exclaimed with a little shock. "After we left, Ryou stopped back at the museum and borrowed this one." she said like it was normal to steal a patrol timesheet. /Very sneaky of you, Ryou-san./ Yami spoke. "Oh, it was nothing. Now, we best set the alarm for five minutes before the time the guard walks around so we won't get caught." Ryou said, setting the watch for the designated time. "Done." he whispered before looking up to them. "Now let's start our little escapade." he said and they nodded. Ryou, Kero and Yugi went ahead but before Yami could follow, Diamond tugged on his fur slightly. /Yes?/ he questioned, turning to her.
"I made something for you too. I know you come around a lot to help Yugi with capturing a difficult card so I thought you would need something as well." Diamond said, opening the door to the van and entered inside for a moment before coming back out with a thick, black leather collar with a medium sized charm on the end. "I know you have some magic in you so you can change the charm to match with any of the outfits Yugi wears." she explained, hooking to collar around his neck and Yami smiled. /Thank you. I'll cherish this gift immensely./ he said, leaning down to nuzzle her and she laughed lightly before petting his snout. "No problem. Now let's go catch up with the others before they realize we're not behind them." she said, taking hold of the collar to lead him along the way since his eyes weren't completely clear yet. When they got inside, they were on the second floor and snuck about the corridors silently before coming up into the large main room of the museum. They continued along quietly before they heard something drop onto the floor and knelt down, thinking it was a guard, until Yugi and Ryou peeked through the railing and saw it was the kid Yugi saw trying to deface the painting earlier.
"I wonder what he's doing here." Yugi whispered.
"He does look a little suspicious to be in here this late at night." Ryou added.
"Well, we're pretty suspicious ourselves. Maybe he's here trying to steal some art." Kero spoke. /I don't think that's possible./ Yami spoke and Kero sent a look his way, glad enough that he couldn't see perfectly yet. "So you think he's a burglar?" Diamond questioned and Kero nodded. "Maybe an amateur at best but if he's here this late, he must be one." Kero murmured. "So what are we gonna do?" Yugi asked. "We'll allow him to run away." Diamond stated. "And how, exactly, are we gonna do that?" Diamond reached into the bag she brought and pulled out a flashlight. "With this. Come with me." They nodded and followed her down to the main floor before hiding behind a small platform. "So, what's the plan?" Yugi asked. "We're going to do a little shadow play. Kero, I need you and him to work together." Diamond explained, pointing to him and Yami.
"Me? Work with him? This might not work well."
"Why not? He's nice." Yugi spoke, patting Yami's side who purred softly.
"We have little disagreements now and then." Kero stated, turning away. Yugi wondered what he meant but Yami told him not to worry about it and he nodded. /So, what do we have to do?/ he asked. "I need you to do your best scary voice and act like you are the guardian of the museum. Kero, I'm going to cast your shadow on this structure and if it works, the kid might run off so we can get the Silent card before we run out of time." she explained and they nodded to the plan. The kid in question was ready to head into another room when he heard Yami's voice. "Who are you? What are you doing here? Hurry and leave this place immediately!" The kid jumped when he heard the hauntingly sly voice of Yami. "Who's there?! Show yourself!" The kid called, playing brave but was still afraid all the while. "Well, it's a kid for sure. Wonder what he is planning to do here…" Kero whispered. "Don't know but we'll find out soon if we can't scare him off." Diamond murmured as she turned on the flashlight and cast Kero's shadow on the structure. "Listen here, child. I'm the guardian angel of this museum. Leave now." Yami spoke and the kid huffed. "W-what do you mean, guardian angel?! You were the one that messed with my papa's painting! Come out now!" he demanded, walking closer to where the shadow was being cast from.
Ryou took a peek from the corner without being seen before looking to them. "He's coming this way." he whispered. "That wasn't what I had in mind…" Diamond replied. Once the kid was close enough to where they hid, he started to peek over slightly, holding the palette knife tightly in his hand but before he could see exactly what was behind the platform, Kero peered out, giving a slight sound to frighten the kid which worked. The boy stumbled back, hitting a podium and slid down and cause the statue on top of it to tumble over. Before he could get hit or had the statue shatter onto the floor, Yami leapt out and saved it with the tip of his tail before pushing to set it back on the podium. Yugi gave a sigh of relief. "Nice save." he whispered before they came over and gathered around the kid. "You should go somewhere else before he wakes. We don't need him to freak out with seeing a real dragon around." Yugi whispered to Yami and he nodded. /I'll keep an eye out to make sure no guards come by this way./ The dragon spoke before leaping off the ground and stuck hiding away in the shadows of the hanging art fixtures.
After a few minutes, the kid started to stir and once he woke, the first thing he saw was Kero, who posed like a stuffed toy, in Yugi's hand and yelped, standing up quickly. Brandishing the palette knife in front of him, he glared at the people before him. "It's alright. He's only a plush toy." Yugi reassured. "Then, what about the voice?" he questioned. "Just a little ventriloquism." The kid scrutinized Kero before snorting. "Can't believe I got so freaked by that face." he whispered and Kero would've growled if Yugi didn't pull him back, placing him onto his shoulder. "So, what are you doing here? You're not a thief, are you?" The kid shook his head. "Of course not! What about you three? I tell you this, if you were the one who messed up that painting, you'll be sorry." he hissed. "We never do such a thing. We're...we're..." Yugi started. "We're elegant thieves." Kero piped up and Yugi sent a side glare at him for speaking out of turn.
"Kero!" he hissed.
"Thieves? Then you..." The kid began but Yugi shook his head. "No! We aren't thieves!" he proclaimed. "I just came here to get something that I forgotten earlier today." he lied, hoping that he would believe him.
"Oh really? Then why are you dressed like a thief?"
"It's his hobby." Diamond answered and Yugi looked at her quizzically before shrugging. 'Better excuse than I could think of off the rails.' The boy sighed before nodding. "Ok. As long as none of you messed with the painting, you're alright by me." he said before he started walking off. "Now I'm in a hurry so I'll leave you alone." As he was leaving, Yugi called to him.
"Hey wait! Yuuki!"
The boy turned back to him in surprise. "How'd you know my name? I never told you." Yugi dug through a pocket and took out the nametag he found and handed it to him. "Oh. It must've fallen of my bag when I was here earlier today."
"Were you really trying to rip that painting?" Yugi asked. "No! I wasn't trying to rip it! I was trying to restore it back to the way it was!" he shouted but not loud enough to have it echo through the museum and catch a guard's attention. He looked down quietly before speaking in a softer voice. "My papa's name was Tenkai Tachibana and he's a painter. He painted that portrait last summer." Yuuki started to explain.
"Oh, I remember hearing about Tachibana. He has done splendid art throughout the years. But last year was when..." Yuuki nodded before Ryou could finish. "Yes. Last autumn, he got sick and died. That painting was a reminder of our trip to the beach that summer. He wanted to make it as a memory and I loved it. So did my mother. But now, someone gone and doodled over it and ruined that precious memory." he whispered. Yugi felt bad for him and stood. "Don't worry, Yuuki! I know how you feel. I felt the same when someone doodled all over my drawing." At this, he gave a look to Kero who faltered under his gaze. "We'll help you restore that painting." Yuuki turned from them. "I don't need any help! I can do fine by myself." he seethed haughtily and Kero growled. "What? When people are trying to help, you-!" His mouth was covered by Yugi and Yuuki turned back to them. "Did he speak on his own?" he asked.
"N-no. Just ventriloquism again." Yugi squeaked, holding Kero and moving his mouth, making his speak out something else than what he nearly shouted out earlier. "Fine. Just don't get in my way." Yuuki spoke as he grabbed his bag and started walking off. Kero huffed. "I don't like that little brat…" Kero whispered and Ryou took a glance at his watch. "We lost a lot of time with this, I'm afraid. We need to hurry." he pointed out and they nodded. Diamond turned to the roof, calling to Yami who flew down silently and landed beside her. She took hold of the collar once more, he still being blind but it was starting to fade away as they followed Yuuki to the painting. As they walked, Yugi knew that he couldn't use magic in front of Yuuki. "I'll talk with him while you capture the card. Since scaring him off didn't work, let's hope this will." Ryou said and Yugi nodded, thanking him. Soon, they reached the painting and Kero took a glance at it before nodding.
"Yeah. That's definitely the Silent card." he whispered to Yugi.
Yuuki started walking towards the painting and examined it closely. "The doodle is still fresh. Since this painting is an oil painting, a light scratching at it should peel it off without damaging anything underneath it." he concluded and Yugi smiled. "You sure do know a lot about paintings." Yugi said and Yuuki blushed faintly. "Someday, I want to be a painter just like my papa." he said and Ryou smiled. "I'm sure you will be. Especially with the knowledge you know." Ryou gave a nod to Yugi and started to talk with Yuuki, distracting him from looking at the painting and Yugi snuck away from them.
When he was standing in front of the image, he raised his staff, ready to seal away the card but Yuuki's voice started to rise as Ryou tried to quiet him. But it was too late for Yugi caught the image moving again, giving a shushing motion to them. "If you talk too loudly, the security guard will..." He stopped, looking to the picture as well along with Yuuki. Everything started to blur around them and soon, all was white and when it cleared away, they were in the courtyard, standing in front of the window that faced the painting. Yuuki sighed and looked through the window to the painting. "Not again. Every time I get close to the painting, I get sent outside." he mumbled and Ryou looked to Kero. "This must be the other power of Silent. If you make a sound, it forces you outside its range." he said before going quiet when Yuuki turned to face them. "At first, I thought it was a ghost so I came in the afternoon, but it didn't work! Now what can I do?" he whispered before going silent when he finally spotted Yami and shivered in fear.
"T-There's a dragon b-behind you…" he stuttered.
"It's ok! It's really ok. I know, he's an actual dragon but he won't harm you. Right now, he can't see properly so no need to worry." Diamond explained. Yuuki was still wary at the sudden appearance of the mythological legend but nodded. "A ghost?" Yugi whispered before getting an idea. "I know. Yuuki, I think this always happened because you were too loud. Maybe if you're quiet, the ghost won't send you outside." Yugi explained. "So, it's ok if I'm quiet?" Yugi nodded. "Ok...but if it's really a ghost then I can't peel it off the painting." he whispered and Yugi frowned.
"So are you going to head home?" Yuuki shook his head. "No! I'm going to fix my papa's painting one way or another. Come. There a way back in over there." he said, pointing to said entrance and they all headed back inside once more. Once they got to the painting, Yuuki opened his case which had a variety of paints and tools. He picked up a small flashlight, placing it around the hat he wore and took the palette knife but it slipped from his fingers, making a clatter as it hit the floor. "Oh man, don't tell me just from that sound...?" Yugi moaned and as predicted, the room started to blur as the Silent's magic went to work and sent them outside again. A second time, they walked back inside and again, Yuuki took out what he need and closed the case with a soft snap and Yugi held up a random sign that read 'Quietly!' Ryou held up another sign that read 'We don't have much time left. We need to hurry!' and Yugi nodded. But fate turned against them as Kero sneezed and Yuuki turned to him. Yugi gave a soft cough, making it looked as if he sneezed, and both of them shushed him but again, Silent's magic went to work and sent them outside again.
They groaned and Yami held up a sign that read: 'This is hopeless. There has to be another way.'
"You have a point there but what can we do?" Yuuki whispered before clenching his fists. "I'll do this myself!" he said before running off. "Wait, Yuuki!" Yugi called, ready to run after him but Diamond held him back. "We don't have much time. The guards are going to make their rounds soon." she spoke. Yuuki was running towards the hall with the painting when a flashlight caught him. "Who's there?!" The guard called and Yuuki continued to run, the guard following behind him. "Wait! Stop right there!" Yuuki didn't stop but because of his short stature and stride, he was soon caught by the guard. "Oh no, he's caught." Diamond whispered. "This place is getting too dangerous." Kero murmured. /We need to hide./ Yami added, having the rest nod to the plan as they went to hide behind a statue while Yami flew ascended into the air, nothing being large enough to hide his entire form. Yugi, Diamond and Ryou peeked out, seeing Yuuki trying to fight the guard but his efforts were useless. "I have to help him. But how?" he said quietly then gazed at the shadows, soon getting an idea. The small captor stood, taking out the Shadow card and tossed it in the air.
"Shadows, project my figure through the glass! Shadow!" he chanted and tapped the glass. Shadow formed out from the card before diving towards the ground, stretching out towards the window and slipping through the glass easily before becoming Yugi's shadow. "First thing's first." Yugi went to push the shadow of the guard which cause him to topple over, releasing his grip on Yuuki who ran off. "Hey! Get back here!" he called as he stood and followed before he lost track of the smaller child. Diamond smiled as she recorded the entire scene. "Nothing less from you, Yugi." she whispered. "Now, time to...wait." he spoke then saw that his shadow couldn't reach the painting. "Here, let me help." Ryou said, taking out the flashlight and shining it towards the floor, giving Shadow light and Yugi thanked him. Ryou guided the light up the wall by the painting and Yugi held his staff up.
"Return to the guise you were meant to be! Clow card!" Silent's eyes finally opened, turning to gaze at the shadow of Yugi but the shadowed form of the staff tapped the painting where Silent rested. The entire painting shone as the magic activated before the glow returned to the form of a card. Yugi grabbed it before the shadow of him slid back outside. Once it was outside, Shadow returned back into a card, leaving the Silent card upon the ground. Yugi went over to grab it, smiling as he held it up. "Wonderful as always." Diamond praised with a smile. Yugi nodded before they turned, hearing the guard coming and ran off to hide once more. The guard sighed as he reached down to grab his flashlight, which he dropped when he went to chase Yuuki. "Miracle that I lost track of that kid…" he murmured before flashing the flashlight towards the painting and gaped while the other three gasped.
He stepped back in fright before running off, calling to the other guards that the painting mysteriously changed. When he was gone, they walked out and looked to the restored painting. Yuuki came up behind them and sighed. "It was no good. The guards found me so they're searching…" he grumbled. "I don't think so. Look there." Ryou flashed the light towards the painting at Yugi's behest and Yuuki looked up. His eyes widened as he saw the painting and ran towards the window, his hat falling off and long brown locks now resting against his back, revealing that he wasn't a boy after all. Yuuki smiled when she saw the true painting was back once more, showing it was of her smiling brightly as she gazed in through the summer beach house window where she stayed that summer. 'It's back to normal, papa. It's back to normal.' They walked over to her side and Yugi smiled down to her. "So, you were really a girl this entire time. Sorry for assuming you were a boy." Yugi said. "No, I should be the one that's sorry. If it wasn't for your help, I would never have returned the painting back to the way it is." Yuuki said.
Diamond smiled and pets her head. "We were glad to have helped." Soon, they left the museum and stood away from the front door as Yuuki was ready to head back home but stopped, waving back to them. "Thanks again for your help! Thanks so much!" she said before running off. "Ja ne!" They waved back to her before Yugi turned to Ryou. "Such a nice kid she was. She wanted to do the best for her father since that panting will be the last memory she will ever have of him." Yugi spoke. "The heart of a child thinking of the parent...what a good story!" Kero spoke and Yugi laughed. "For once, you play cool, Kero!" he said, making Diamond and Ryou chuckle as well. "A little tasteful but inspiring." Diamond stated. "Now, tell me how you thought of using shadow to get the Silent card?" she asked. "Well, I remember Kero's shadow-art from earlier." Yugi explained as they started to walk off, never noticing the figure on a tower of the museum. "Ah! So I was able to do something than be a puppet! Finally!" Kero cheered with a grin. 'One for me and zip for Yami. I amof more help to Yugi than a detector of the Clow cards.' he thought smugly.
"Now I wonder, where did the dragon go? He never came back after I got the card." Yugi whispered.
"He must've left. He might've known you had everything under control from there so he didn't need to stick around to help if you encounter any problems." Kero replied. Far from there, Yami sat upon a building, a hand touching the small charm upon the collar he wore which was now fitted for both of his forms. 'Soon, small one. Soon, I will reveal to you more.' he thought before he shifted back into a dragon and returned home.
Back at the museum, the shadowed figure that stood upon the tower held a board in hand that was glowing softly. His eyes were shadowed by his hair but he whispered one thing into the wind.
"I sense a Clow card..."

Zypher: Done. Hope you like and now time for another poll. Glad no one but Keara, but she loves him just as much as I do, asked about this but any who, should I add in Yue? I won't change Seth to Yukito but what I have in mind is that Seto will be like a new Moon guardian of the Seal in training and Yue is his teacher and will be there to handle anything that may become a problem to Seto.
Of course, Seto is hardheaded and will try to accomplish his role to protect Yugi when he's in danger and try to prove that he can become the next guardian to Yue. Tell me what you think and remember, not making any changes to any characters that are already in here as far as I have it. We'll still voting with Vivian as Meiling as so far, we have two votes so continue to send them in.
Also, now I finally came up with a semi-idea to use for that blindness idea I had in mind previously. As I mentioned, I will start using it as an effect that Yami and Aqua both have only when they're in their true card forms. When they're out in the sun too long, their eyesight will start to film over, making them blind for a period of time but it will be restored, slowly but surely, once they get into the dark somewhere, which will also give another explanation why Aqua only shows up during the day as a human and Yami during the night as his true form. See you soon.
