AN: So I'm not dead. Figured you guys would want to know. Truth is a lot happened and I just didn't want to write anymore but I had this lying around and figured I might finish it. Truthfully I like it. The ending might be a bit weak but I'll leave that for you to decide. I promise I'll have the next one up sooner. Bye

"Harry" A voice called out in the darkness. "Harry where are you?"

'That's a good question.' Harry thought to himself staring around wondering where he was. He tried to raise his hands but it was as if his body wasn't under his control.

"Harry this isn't funny." The voice called once more. "Come out before we get caught."

"We won't get caught Lex." His voice said. 'What is going on' Harry thought to himself.

"So then why are you hiding huh?" Alexis asked him.

"Because I know full well that if I come out you'll slap me again." He answered

"As opposed to if you don't?" Alexis asked in turn.

Wherever Harry was, was suddenly illuminated but the blinding change of light prevented him from determining where exactly 'he' was.

"There, the lights are on." His voice said for him.

"Nice try Harry, but if you don't stop playing games I'll go get Jaden and he can find you!" Alexis threatened in turn.

Seeing out of what appeared to be his own eyes Harry saw Alexis standing in what appeared to be Chancellor Sheppard's office except that she was slightly taller and the frown marring her face was not something he had seen often. Although recently….

"You won't." Harry answered feeling 'his' mouth twist into a smile. "Cause then you wouldn't be all alone with me."

"Yeah well it's hard to be alone with your boyfriend when he's been invisible ever since he figured out how."

'BOYFRIEND!' Harry shouted in his mind, nearly missing what 'he' said in response. Thankfully he didn't. "You better hope I never figure out how to fly, you'll never get me down."

Alexis took a step closer to where he was standing with a coy smile on her face. "I'm sure I can find some way to convince you."

Before he even had a chance to reply she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him dead on the lips.

Though the smirk never left his lips, inside, Harry was in more shock than he had ever been in. At least after he had travelled the dimensions.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, he wasn't quite sure yet, Harry woke up at that exact time. Sitting bolt upright and immediately wincing in pain as the repercussions of sleeping on the sofa kicked in. Cracking his back Harry sat up straight and thought about his dream.

'Or was it a dream!' Harry thought looking at his bracers which sat on his desk the gold shining in the newly rising sunlight. Waving his hands and watching as they flew over and latched themselves onto his wrists with a click. He knew he was able to see the future but whether he had just done so was a question he had no answer to. The invisibility though, that was a thought to be considered real or not.

Alexis stirred on the bed behind him and Harry quickly teleported to the bathroom rather than walk and risk waking her. Nature's call needed to be answered after all.

Looking at the time and seeing he still had two hours before he needed to go on his little field trip Harry didn't bother waking Alexis instead he sat down in front of the sofa lotus style and meditated. "Power of chaos, darkness and light, I invoke your spirit till end of night. Please oh great one hear my cry appear before till sunlight shines." He chanted quietly so as not to awaken the sleeping girl behind him. "Come to me, Dark Magician."

Using his previous experience from summoning Ra, Harry invented his own chant to summon one his spirits due to him not having their cards on hand. Surprisingly it worked as the spirit of the Dark Magician appeared in a swirl of transparent orbs.

"So nice of you to call me." The young spirit quipped as soon as he was visible to Harry's eye. "Dare I ask why she's sleeping in your bed?"

"No you may not." Harry whispered. "I'm assuming you three are having as much fun as I am. Where are you actually?"

The Dark Magician chuckled. "We're in the chancellor's office. He put a shadow charm around a safe of his so you can't steal us back. But the three of us are having a delightful time listening to all the gossip. Did you know Dorothy, the owner of the school shop, waxes her upper lip?"

"Fascinating" Harry said dryly. "Well glad to know you three will be thoroughly entertained for the next week."

"Three? Are you kidding? We've been bringing all the spirits that can be in your deck. I think there was ten of us listening. Oh I wish we could eat popcorn in this state. But enough about us how are you?"

Harry waited until the stirring Alexis had settled before speaking again in a lower tone

"I can see the future."

Silence followed his proclamation except for the soft breathing of Alexis behind him. His spirit said nothing in response and merely sat there as if waiting for more information. When none came, he sighed, or as close to one as something with no corporal form could achieve.

"I would be surprised if you couldn't." He said at last drawing a look of surprise from Harry. "Don't look at me like that. Think about it. Mahad went from being the most powerful magic user in this world to a duel spirit that existed outside the confines of time and space. While we, his progeny, received merely a fraction of his powers, you on the other hand received its entirety. He could see the future, not on command but he could, he saw his pharaoh returned and so stayed among the living for five thousand years. If you couldn't see into the future I would be shocked."

"You're saying Mahad couldn't control it? Then that means there's no hope for me." Harry said with a downcast look on his face

"I don't see the problem. Seeing the future is hardly something to be so worked up about. You can prepare."

"Except so far all I have seen is pain and misery. I can't tell if it's really a vision or if I'm hallucinating, day dreaming or just seeing double." Harry explained to his spirit companion.

"I'm afraid there's nothing I can say to help you my friend. This is something extremely personal and no two people will ever experience even slight similarities. The way I see it you have to choices. Learn to accept it, or wear that bracer every day until you die."

Harry opened his mouth several times while thinking of a retort before finally shutting it in acceptance. The words of his father, an Egyptian god and his spirit friend finally getting through to him. He couldn't believe he had spent so long focused on the fact that he could see the future when he was told from the very beginning that there was nothing he could do about it.

The two friends stopped all movement as Alexis stirred once more. Harry nodded his head in goodbye as the Dark Magician vanished back to his card no doubt looking forward to spying on the faculty of the school once more.

"You know" Alexis murmured not even opening her eyes. "My parents would kill me if they found out I slept in a guy's room. Hell most of the boys in this school would kill you if they found out."

"You're going to tell them?" Harry asked raising his eyebrows and standing from his spot on the floor. "Just how exactly would that conversation go?"

Alexis raised her own eyebrows giving him a look that clearly said 'oh please'. When Harry didn't back down she sighed and elaborated. "Mindy and Jasmine will ask me. They have their ways of getting information and when they do there won't be soul on the island who won't know."

Harry chuckled at the explanation before pointing to his drawers. "There should be a spare uniform there if you want to get changed." Leaving no room for argument and watching her take the clothes and go to the bathroom Harry sat on his bed and pictured the dream he had had. Turning invisible was an ability he had thought far out of his reach but now the very hint of its possibility was making him try.

But it wasn't as simple as his other powers. Teleporting, energy blasts, even spirit projection he had all done in some shape or form in his time as a wizard. But invisibility had only ever been achieved through a medium. It clearly wasn't as simple as wanting to hide or all the times he had been hunted as a child would have invoked it. Or maybe he just wasn't strong enough.

"So many questions!" Harry growled to himself before slamming his face into a pillow. Breathing in he could smell Alexis's perfume making him wonder about the reason for his questions this morning and how he even began to wonder about new applications to his powers.

He had never thought of Alexis that way. He couldn't help but wonder what the catalyst would be in the future that would change his entire thought process with regards to her. But it was all for nought now. Now that the seed had been planted it begun to sprout and take a life of his own. He couldn't help but look towards the door to his en suite and wonder would kissing her be like the dream, or worse, or even better. He groaned in to the pillow loudly this time.

He was screwed.

"You didn't have to sleep on the sofa if it was that uncomfortable." Alexis called to him from the doorway mistaking his distress for tiredness. Leaning against the frame with her hair in a ponytail and putting on her gloves she was looking directly into his eyes. "You could have joined me."

"I suppose it's good you have a form of plausible deniability then. What would happen when Mindy and Jasmine discover you slept in the same bed as me and not just the same room?" He retorted standing up and stretching.

Making his way into the bathroom and quickly brushing his teeth and making himself look presentable Harry stepped outside the door to find Alexis sitting on the bed as he had been before. He couldn't help but think that it was cute and couldn't help the small burst of fear he felt upon realising it.

"Get dressed" She ordered him. "We're going to be late." Harry just spread his arms and let his powers speak for themselves. His body began to glow a purple light covering him from his neck down. When it finally cleared Harry's was dressed in a uniform which was clean and pressed. "Show off" She grumbled grabbing his arm and leading him out the door.

"I could have done it for you but it's a tad invasive." He explained as they made their way to the main building. "It's kind of like a strong breeze from head to toe. And since your clothes are being altered you feel every bit of it."

"Oh. But still it's pretty handy. I could have actually done something with my hair instead of this mess." She continued pulling the ponytail over her shoulder and running her hands through the loose strands.

"You are no less beautiful than if you spent hours trying to look good." Harry commented without thinking. The two reached the main building before Alexis could think of a reply running into Jaden and Syrus who were sitting against one of the obelisks that made the walkway to the entrance hall. "You know." Harrys said by way of greeting. "If you fall asleep I'm going to throw a bucket of water over the two of you."

"Looks like you might have to do it anyway." Alexis chimed in seeing the drooping eyes of the two.

"Yeah well the earliest I wake up is three hours from now." Jaden argued in his defence.

"Except class would have already started. Try two hours." Syrus said throwing his weight into the discussion. "Maybe then we wouldn't be here."

"You were the late one Sy."

"Speaking of which were is the good professor." Harry asked.

"He's waking up Chumley he told us to go ahead and meet you two."

"But that is no longer the case." Banner said from beside the group trailing behind him the koala enthusiast of a Slifer. "Now that we're all here we can make our way to the ruins it will be quite the hike so I hope you are all prepared."

"No offence professor, but some of us are here for detention. It doesn't particularly matter if we're ready or not." Harry retorted resting his arms behind his head.

The other four looked at him like he was crazy for being so disrespectful but Harry and Banner looked at nobody but the other each having a staring contest for their own reasons. Nobody moved or made a sound until Banner blinked behind his glasses and nodded at the young shadow duellist "Indeed. Let's make a move then shall we?"

Needless to say it was a quiet journey to the ruins none of the Slifers saying a word for fear of invoking the anger of their professor while Harry and Alexis lagged behind to ensure their conversation would not be overheard.

"So what's so special about these ruins anyway?" She asked him. "You've been here before haven't you?"

"Yes. These ruins serve as a gateway to the realm of the Gatekeepers. Though at the time I just knew they were a doorway. There are thousands of them in every world just waiting to be unlocked by those who know how to use them. Though there are a few that are even easier to unlock."

"And the Gatekeepers? Who are they?"

"Normally I would show you their cards as an example but I don't exactly have that luxury. They're a set of monsters believed to guard the tombs of the ancient ones. Sacred spirits long since gone to rest."

"And if my brother had gone through there?"

"To be honest I don't know if he did. They said the last person to trespass wore armour. I doubt that any student at this place could find that easy."

"Oh." She said her eyes searching for the floor as they walked closer.

"I'm sorry Alexis. I promise I'll find out what happened to him for you."

Alexis just nodded and the two reached the ruins minutes after the others did. Only to see they had already began to take notes and drawings while Professor Banner watched carefully.

"Go ahead. I'll catch up." He told her. Making his way over to the professor.

"Out of curiosity professor just what is it we're supposed to be looking for here?" Harry asked quietly so they wouldn't be overheard.

"Nothing really. I conduct this survey every year to give the students a chance at extra credit. It's a chance for them to learn about the history of duelling outside of stadiums and tournaments." Looking around Harry was forced to agree but that was as he looked through the eyes of a shadow duellist. He couldn't help but wonder if the others only say a bunch of broken rocks.

"Well." Banner called out to the group. "I know we just got here but why don't we get something to eat before we really get started? After all it's early and we did take some time getting here."

The other quickly agreed before taking out their food and settling down by the archway. Professor Banner sat down near them but didn't interact as he prepared to take out a pizza much to the dismay of the other students.

Harry on the other hand didn't sit down instead he channelled his energy into his eyes causing them to glow green as he looked around. His eyes seeing the energies that still flowed through the ruin even weeks after his little trip to the other side. It probably would be helpful if it wasn't the first time he tried something like this. Instead he just watched Pharaoh, Banner's cat. Dig in the dirt out of boredom. He would have missed it if it weren't for his eyes but when the cat dug up a medallion smaller than his little finger, it began to glow so bright even the others could see. Looking towards Banner, Harry didn't see the shock or fear just resignation."

Willing his sword to him Harry growled before shouting. "You son of a_" He never got to finish before a blinding light enveloped them all dragging them to the realm of the Tomb Keepers. Landing on his feet and immediately taking off into a run lest he be caught trespassing for a second time.

Sending out a pulse of energy was too dangerous since the spirits would pick up on it. Instead he willed more energy into his eyes in the hope of visually picking up on the life force of his friends which would no doubt be different from the others.

And as it turned out he was right. Sort of.

He found Jaden. His golden aura far outshining everybody else on this plane but he also knew this because he was surrounded by others. Far too many for him to escape from. Seeing no other choice Harry stopped the energy flow to his eyes and teleported nearby.

"You have trespassed on sacred ground. You must be punished in the ways of old."

"Woah hold on I didn't do anything." Jaden exclaimed stepping forward only to be met by dozens of spears. That was when Harry decided to step in.

Swinging his sword and teleporting harry reappeared in front of Jaden slicing the spears of the guards before they even realised he was there. Mentally thanking his father for fencing lessons he held his sword at the ready but never said a word.

"Trespasser, you return."

"You once offered me safe passage. Extend this courtesy to those that travel with me."

"He is one of those people?"

"And the others you have taken."

The Chief shook his head before turning away. "You denied me the challenge for yourself. Now let me offer it again. Duel me and I will release your friends. Refuse and there will be nothing you can do to free them. But without your allies. You will fail."

Harry smirked before putting his sword down. "Jaden can I borrow your deck?" He asked the brown haired boy behind him. "I have an old score to settle."

Jaden just nodded before handing over his duel disk and his cards silently willing them to work in Harry's favour before the walked to the duel arena that Harry had once escaped from before.

"You think me weak without my spirits. But I have something to tell you chief. I have something far more powerful at my side. And now that I'm not trying to hide from them. I can ask for their help." Raising his hand the sky began to darken as a bolt of lightning shot from the sky and touched his fingers before vanishing just as quickly. Anyone who blinked missed it.

When the light cleared Harry was holding a card which he slipped into his deck. "Jaden." He called out behind him. "Go with Yasmin, the grave keeper's assailant. Check on our friends this won't take long."

"Shall we?" Harry asked the chief deploying his duel disk and drawing five cards.

"You are confident. Yet you send your friend away in case you lose?" The chief asked him also drawing his cards.

"My power is singing to me. I have the greatest ally imaginable at my side. I simply didn't want him to witness your defeat. I'll go first." Harry called drawing his sixth card.

"I play five face downs before I activate the special ability of Elemental Hero Bubbleman which allows me to special summon him in defence mode next I reveal the spell card Graceful Charity which lets me draw three cards so long as I discard two. That allows me to reveal my second spell which is O Oversoul which allows me to bring back an elemental hero from my grave this one being Sparkman also in defence mode. Finally I summon elemental Hero Avian in defence mode before ending my turn. Make it count Chief or this duel is over."

Hunched over and ready to defend him were three of Jaden's most iconic monsters but Harry couldn't feel the energy in them that he could when Jaden used them. His deck may trust him and bring him to victory but it wasn't his. It would never pulse with power as he used it nor would it give him what he needed. But Jaden was a master duellist who had built a strong deck, Harry would earn what he needed with the cards he had.

"My turn." The chief called drawing his card. "I play the spell card Necrovalley." Immediately a ravine formed between them instead of the square arena they had been in so long ago.

"This spell locks down our graveyards preventing us from touching it with any effects. Next I play Gravekeeper's Curse who, when summoned, allows me to deal you 500 points of damage directly."

A shamanist man carrying a staff of power appeared on the field which was already glowing. Harry could feel the power radiating from the staff burning his skin making him feel pain but stayed standing and still rather than showing weakness in a shadow game.

"But that is not all, I play the spell card double summon which as it so says, allows me a second summon this turn so I sacrifice my Gravekeeper's Curse in order to summon myself directly to the field."

The Chief vanished before Harry's eyes much like Brron had only to reappear out of a summoning circle duel disk and all before he continued his turn.

"And when I am brought to the field I grant immunity to the effects of Necrovalley and immediately bring back another Gravekeeper from the beyond so arise once more Grave Keeper's curse and deal more damage."

This time Harry cried out and hunched over as he could see small marks begin to form on his arms which would no doubt bruise as the day progressed but when the attack finished he immediately stood.

"Now I attack with Gravekeeper's curse and before you say anything I should remind you that every Gravekeeper gains five hundred attack points while Necrovalley is out on the field."

"What I was going to say is that I activate my trap, Hero Barrier, this stops your attack cold. Maybe you should listen before running your mouth."

"How dare you!" The Chief. "Well if my words are no good to you then how about my attacks." Charging an energy ball in his hands the Chief threw it at Harry with no hesitation.

"No thanks. I activate Draining Shield, this trap allows me to not only block your attack but add your power to my life points as well so thanks for the pick me up."

"I play a face down and end my turn."

"I draw. I play my final face down Soul Connection, this allows me to choose one monster in my deck and add it to my hand and I choose this one. Next I sacrifice all of the elemental heroes on my field in order to summon the most powerful force you will ever feel. I summon Obelisk the tormentor.

The sky was already darkening as the monsters on Harry's field began to vanish but when he called out the name of the Egyptian god thunder sounded from a cloudless dark sky. Then out of the darkness a hulking blue mass appeared with glowing red eyes looking directly at the Gravekeeper Chief

Elsewhere, Jaden looked out the window and heard the thunder and growling but unable to see the duel knew not of what Harry had done with his deck.

Down the hall from Jaden Alexis opened her eyes not to awake as she had not slept. But because she just knew Harry had done something that should make her worry.

But back at the duel, the Gravekeepers were beginning to panic, especially the Chief "But how can you possibly have that card!" He shouted.

"Because you fool I was chosen. Now that you threaten the ones I love I need their help to ensure that no mistakes are made. Now obelisk attack Gravekeeper's Curse with fist of fate!"

Obelisk threw a punch at the monster that was literally an insect in comparison. No resistance was met as it was brutally destroyed into specks of light before vanishing entirely. The Gravekeepers Chief felt the backlash of the attack and was sent spiralling to the ground. It was several moments before he stood up.

"You may have damaged me to an inch of my life points but I still have 800 left." He panted to Harry who merely smirked.

"You would if it wasn't for this." Harry said flipping over a card in his hand. "This is poison of the old man it gives me the choice of gaining 1200 life points or dealing 800 points in damage to you. Since I have more than enough already because of you I think I'll take the second option."

All of the holograms vanished including obelisk making the once dark sky bright once more. Harry walked towards the Gravekeeper's chief slowly allowing him to stand of his own power before offering his hand. When it was shook the two walked towards where Jaden and his friends were waiting.

"I hope there are no hard feelings."

"You are a chosen of the gods. I should hope that it is you who has no hard feelings between us. But just to be sure I would like you to take this." Offering Harry a medallion that had clearly been cut in half. "It is the prize of any victor who has bested me. The other half was taken by the other who walked these lands. But it is also an apology. I offered you safe passage and instead I used your friends to force you into the challenge I had longed for since seeing you power. I should have known that a mortal with such power was obviously important to the divine ones."

Harry simply smiled not able to say anything else before his body was impacted by the feminine body of his best friend. Looking over her shoulder the others were smiling in relief that they would be allowed to go home.

"I trust you know the way back? I would hurry. The opening I sensed was temporary at best."

Harry nodded and told the others to go ahead. All but Alexis followed his orders, she never left his side while he turned to the Gravekeeper's chief for a final time.

"The other." Harry began. "What can you tell me about him?"

"Not much I'm afraid. He wore a mask and cloak preventing any of from seeing who he might be underneath. I can tell you only the name. Beware Nightshroud, for he is as dark as the dragons he wields." Nodding, Harry bid goodbye before pulling Alexis closer and vanishing towards the unstable and closing portal back to their world. Where he saw the others unconscious not used to the trips into other worlds or not shielded from the backlash like Alexis was.

Later that night Harry was alone in his room holding his sword in his hand wondering if he should do what he was about to do. But he steeled himself in his resolve before teleporting to the Slifer red dorm. Specially, Banner's room.

"I was wondering when you would come." Banner greeted from his chair not bothering to turn around.

"You are going to tell me why you did what you did and if I don't like your answer we'll see if you make it Sheppard's office in one piece." Harry growled pushing energy into the blade in his and causing it to glow.

"No." Banner said standing revealing him to be wearing a cloak and mask covering his identity entirely. "I am going to tell you what I did. And you are going to help me finish what I started."
