Phoenix: Ok, just wanna thank everyone who reads my story, it really means a lot to me! I see a lot of hits, but hardly anyone's reviewing! :( I really like this update, things are really coming together now. Chapter nine, done:

Chapter 9: My Fate is Clear

"Who…who are you? What do you want from me?"

"What do I want? I want what I desired thousands of years ago, Kisara…I want your soul!"

"But…why?"

"Why? Because your soul has power to rival the Egyptian Gods …But the only way I can retrieve that power is to silence you!"

Kari's eyes shot open and stared blankly. She lied back down and prayed for happier dreams.


Kari started walking down towards Kame Game shop in her sandals (which she worked very hard to keep away from a persistent Akina). She hadn't asked James to drive her, for it was a beautiful day out and it was the summer. She had grown to be very close friends with Yugi and his gang. Sometimes she even helped around the shop.

But today Yugi called her to come over as soon as possible. It sounded very important, so she started out of her apartment early.

"Hello?" Kari called through the empty room of the game shop.

"Over here!" Came a distant response from another room. Kari started walking towards the kitchen to find everyone there: Joey teaching Tristan dueling strategies with his cards, Bakura watching them, Yugi lost in thought, and Téa making tea.

"Hey, guys," Kari smiled and took a seat at the table where everyone else was.

"Hiya, Kari!" Joey said, still looking down at the sprawled cards on the table.

"We need to talk to you," Yugi started. "So make yourself comfortable."

"Okay," Kari said.

Téa sat down as well, giving everyone (except for Joey) cups of tea. Once she was settled in, Yugi started.

"Kari, we told you all about the Millennium items, the Pharaoh, and the world of memories, right?"

"Yeah…" Kari said, confused as to why he would bring that up now.

"Well, while in those memories, we saw a girl with blue eyes and white hair, just like you. Her name was Kisara."

"Her soul was a shadow creature -we told you all about those before- and a very strong one too. It was the Blue Eyes White Dragon. That was the creature that Pegasus based the Duel Monsters card off of." Téa cut in.

"And it was sealed away in those stone tablets. Kisara gave her life up for the high priest Seto. Seto didn't want her to give up her life for him because he loved her, and she loved him. But priest Seto's father, priest Akhenaden, wanted Seto to be Pharaoh, so he took over his own son's body to do so. That's why Kisara gave up her life, to save Seto from his father's grasp. And we think that Kisara from the past..." Yugi glanced around the room"...Is you".

"So…" Kari said, surprised at all of this. "So I'm a reincarnation of a girl named Kisara from thousands of years ago?"

"Yep." Joey said casually without looking up. It was the first thing he said in that conversation.

"And I loved a high priest named Seto?"

"Yes. It was Kaiba from that time, too. But he already knows all of this, and I believe that he also knows you're the present day Kisara." Yugi stared at Kari expectantly.

"Wow." Was all Kari said. "That would explain why your grandpa gave me the Blue Eyes White Dragon. He said I was meant to have it."

Yugi opened his mouth to say something, but Kari wasn't finished yet. She took a deep breath.

"I have to admit something. I have been having these strange dreams…"


Kaiba was surprised at himself. When was the last time that he actually finished work early and had a few hours to kill? He didn't really care; rather, he simply lay back in his chair and stared out the window, lost in thought.

She has one. He thought. Kisara has a Blue Eyes. But only I have them…

Then an idea struck him. Yugi's grandfather had the last one. It had to be from him. The pieces all fit together now. Yugi must have told his grandpa about his journey to the pharaoh's memories and all about Kisara. He gave his Blue Eyes White Dragon to her, since she is destined to have it. But how does it work on the duel disk?

He smirked. He must have taped it.

Kaiba closed his eyes and relaxed. He must have drifted off to sleep, for he was suddenly floating in a dark cloud of who-knows-what in a dream.

"Hello? Anybody?"

"You failed me. You chose love over power. If you will not take such power, then I shall!"

"Whoever you are, I didn't fail anyone!"

"But you did. And now, I will try again to retrieve that power. And this time, I won't get it for you. I'm keeping it myself!"

"I don't know what you're talking about! Now leave me alone!"

And with that, Kaiba forced himself to wake up. He shuddered to himself and went out on the balcony for some fresh air.


"…And those are how my dreams go." Kari finished. Yugi nodded in understanding, Téa raised an eyebrow, Tristan and Bakura looked up for the first time, and Joey…well, he was just being Joey.

"Those are some strange dreams you got there," Bakura said.

"They are. They're dreams of destiny, Kari. Maybe you should pay attention to them." Yugi said.

"But what about the one I had only last night? There was someone, or something evil in it, I just know it." Kari said.

"Monstas? Villains? Maybe someone's out to getcha, Kari!" Joey looked up, suddenly interested.

"Maybe. They said they wanted my power, since it rivals the Egyptian Gods…" Kari trailed off.

"Blue Eyes White Dragon is your soul, remember? That force probably wants its power for themself." Yugi said seriously.

"Well, that's a nice thought. I think I'll just go home now and rest a little bit…" Kari never finished her sentence. She suddenly collapsed onto the floor, her eyes closed and her white hair covering her pale face. She was slowly picked up by Joey and Tristan and laid onto the couch. Everyone sat by her, worrying what was wrong. Although they were partly used to this sort of thing happening, what with Yugi and all of his crazy adventures in the past, but people don't just pass out randomly. Téa rushed out to get a wet cloth. She then put it on Kari's head, and the only thing all of them could do was wait.

"Not another dream." Light surrounded her and she was in the sky and clouds.

Memories, pictures, and sounds flooded into her. She saw everything, heard everything, and remembered everything. She went through her past, saw the present, and glimpsed the future. The only thing she saw in her future was a dark figure that seemed familiar. Its voice was the one in her previous nightmare. She knew that there was a journey ahead of her, and she also knew who was coming along.

Kari's eyes shot open. She stared at the ceiling for a while and then said: "My fate is clear…"


Phoenix: So, you like it? Hate it? I won't know unless you review! Tell me your predictions for the plot story and what you think should happen, because I might, just might, use your ideas in the story. See ya around…
