Chapter10

Yamino waited eagerly for night to come the next day. She wanted to see what the spirit in Ra's Millennium Item knew. She observed Ra every so often. He always had his Millennium Ring concealed. She wondered why. She hoped that all of her questions would be answered that night.

Finally after a long day of waiting night fell. Yamino crept down the silent hallways of Monster High to the courtyard. When she arrived she saw Ra standing in the middle of the yard. "Hey!" she called. He turned with a startled expression. "Would it be impossible to shut up?" She shook her head. "Of course not."

He rolled his eyes. "Follow me and try to remain moderately quiet." She grinned. Ra led her out of the academy and into the middle of a field. He stopped. "Great! We're in the middle of nowhere!" Ra grinned. "Exactly." Yamino raised an eyebrow. "I am missing the point." Ra spoke, "We have two Millennium Items. They will make a magical field, but to do that we have to be where no one can see us."

"Why do we make a magical Millennium Field?" Yamino asked. "Because there's someone who needs a little help to talk with you," Ra winked at her. She frowned and shrugged. He brought out his Millennium Ring

Their Millennium Items began to glow. Suddenly they dulled. Ra gestured for her to look to the side. She gazed in the direction he indicated. There sat a large sun washed palace that looked like it belonged in Ancient Egypt. "You have to go in," Ra said. She started up the stairs to the doorway then she turned back to see Ra wasn't following.

"Aren't you coming?" she asked. He shook his head sending his long shaggy albino hair flying. "No. The person you're going to see and I don't exactly get along. It would be best if you didn't mention me." She nodded. "Okay whatever." She ran up the stairs.

Yamino walked through the doors to the main hall of the palace. The halls were plated with gold and jewels and sandstone. She was impressed that it was so beautiful. Finally she reached a gigantic door that was solid gold and jewels. She pushed open the door. Inside was what looked like a deserted throne room.

There was high-backed golden throne in the back of the room that looked identical to the one that resided in her mind. Yamino strode up to the throne and sat down. The carvings on the throne almost looked like Duel Monsters. That wasn't possible they didn't play Duel Monsters in Ancient Egypt did they?

Suddenly there was a brilliant flash of light. Yamino covered her eyes and looked away. When she finally looked back there was a nearly transparent man standing before her. He looked almost like her father only taller and with lightening bolt through his hair. Yamino narrowed her eyes. "Who are you?"

The man smiled. "I am your father." She raised an eyebrow. "Let me guess and now you're enslaved by the dark side. Lay off the Star Wars dude." He laughed. "No, Yamino. I am your father. Only in a past life." Her mouth dropped. "I'm calling the mental hospital. I think their best patient just escaped."

The man sighed. "I'm telling the truth. Your Millennium Items brought you here did they not? And the Items brought you here so you could speak with me. We do not have much time!" She rolled her eyes. "Fine talk." The man nodded. "I am the voice that has been speaking to you through the Puzzle. Now someone is trying to prevent me from directing you."

Yamino folded her arms and said, "And you want me to do what about this?" The man turned away you need to find the culprit before I am isolated forever." She nodded. "Right. Okay, have any wise advice on how to do this?" The man turned back toward her. "Yes. I know whoever is trying to cause this rift holds the Millennium Eye. The last person to hold the Millennium Eye is Bakura Ryou. Find the Millennium Eye and find the criminal. I must go now."

With that the man faded away. She frowned. "Well that was incredibly confusing." Yamino stuffed her hands into her jeans pockets as she walked back down the deserted hallways of the palace back to the entrance. She walked down the stairs to Ra. "Come on," she said as she hurried away. As the two Millennium Items broke contact the palace crumbled.

She turned to Ra. "Hey, dude I need you to let go of your host." He frowned. "Do it," she commanded. Ra blinked his eyes in confusion. "Where am I?" Yamino grabbed his shoulders. "It's a long story Ra, but your yami took control of you for a bit and now you need to go get Brandon and bring him to my room for a meeting."

They set off toward the academy at a run. Yamino ran straight to her room. She flung open the door. "Amber wake up!" The girl rolled over in her bunk. "What is it Yamino?" she asked groggily. "We're having a meeting." Amber sat up and frowned. "At three in the morning?" Yamino spread her arms. "It is important." Amber nodded and slid down from her bunk.

Ra and Brandon arrived shortly, and Yamino began the meeting. "Okay guys. You remember what happened to Kaiba today." They nodded. Yamino hung her head. "Well, I did that. I took justice into my own hands. He may get better he may not." She shrugged. "How?" Amber asked. Yamino looked up. "I have a power that comes from Ancient Egypt called the Power of the Shadow Games. Other than that I don't know much about where it came from, but I think I know how to use it."

They nodded. "So, how does this affect us?" Brandon asked. Yamino looked at him. "You're my friends. My first friends," she said sadly. "Now there's someone out there who has a Millennium Item and is trying to separate me and the presence of my father from a past life that I lived in Ancient Egypt. I need help trying to find him."

Ra raised an eyebrow. "What type of crack have you been smoking?" Yamino frowned. "You hold the Millennium Ring. Sometimes you lose your memory. That's when your Yami takes control of your body." Ra looked down. "Really?" She nodded. "Damn body snatcher!" Ra shouted.

"Chill. We'll deal with your yami problems later," Yamino said. Ra nodded. Brandon laughed. "At least I'm yami free." Yamino turned to Ra. "May I take the liberty." He nodded. She whacked Brandon upside the head.

"Okay people, who's going to help me take this guy down?" Yamino looked around. "I will," Amber spoke up. Ra nodded, "Me too." Yamino turned to Brandon. "What about you?" He grinned. "I think I'm going crazy, but sure I'm in." They all grinned.

"Now guys, right now if you're going to help me I want you tell me if you know a man called Bakura Ryou." Amber and Brandon shook their heads, but Ra frowned. "Why do you want to know where Bakura Ryou is?" he asked. Yamino answered, "Because he has the Millennium Eye." Ra shook his head. "No he doesn't." Yamino cocked her head how would you know?" Ra looked her in the eye. "Yamino, Bakura Ryou is my father."
