Ha! I have edited all of the chapters with Kuthos's mental link with Akei, it was really annoying how Akei's lines disappeared...but it's all better now ^^

Meh....this chapter is REALLY short, for me anyway....but hey...I gave Yugi a part!

******
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN?!" Akei snapped out in rage, stumbling forward and using Ryou to balance himself before continuing. "This is DANSEI'S fault?!"

{Yami relax...}

[He's supposed to be dead though!]

"He is dead," the creature spoke up, pawing to move her narrow body to the center of the room. "Think of it this way, when anyone dies, sometimes they don't go straight to the grave. They linger around, like they just had to do one thing to settle their mind. I guess that's what Dansei did...does he have a grudge against you...?" Her head turned and tilted to the side to Akei. By now the group figured she was just a panther, fur turning from deep brown to more of a dark gray, the only thing that seemed to keep her from the panther form was the fact she had a longer muzzle, a wolf styled one.

Akei ignored the question and looked away.

Ayane took this chance of silence to step forward. "Who are you..?"

"Anu."

"So do you know where Kuthos fled to?" Yami asked, finally giving into this one creature. Yugi helped him with that.

"No, but I do know where Garou escaped off to. Garou was the second born of the darkness, and the most loyal to Kuthos, but the only way to get to him is by using....bait. There's a building within the city that he went into, put someone outside the door and he can't resist the urge of a meal.."

"I'll do it."

"No, aibou."

/Yami! I have to!/

//Yugi, it is too dangerous, you could be killed, I couldn't live with myself if that were to happen..//

/Yami, you can't do it, Ryou and Akei are in a too tired position, Kaiba wouldn't, and we might need Rekanna and Ayane later!/

//Aib-//

"Show me the way Anu," Yugi spoke out, blocking off his dark half's mental connection, He slipped a hand into Yami's pocket where the deck was and pulled out the Dark Magician before running towards the door before Yami could catch him.

Anu raced after the boy and turned her head back at them. "The boy will be fine, I promise you that. Ayane and Rekanna, you both come along too, we need your magic. Everyone else STAY here!" And the femme was off, padding ahead of Yugi to lead him into town, the two Shinsei sisters following behind wondering how Anu knew their name.

"Wait!" Yugi called out, causing Anu to stop and look back at the paused boy, giving time for Ayane and Rekanna to catch up. "Dark Magician!" Yugi yelled out, smiling as the card became engulfed by an indigo aura and floated to his side before forming into his favorite card.

Anu nodded an approval of the magician and looked back up at Yugi. "May we continue on? We are almost there."

"Yeah, I'm ready now."

******
"I can't believe this!" Yami ranted, he had been since Yugi left. "Does he understand how dangerous this is?!"

"The runt is growing up, Yami."

Ruby eyes glared over at Kaiba. "How would you feel if Mokuba was doing this?"

"Mokuba is still young, besides, if I told him not to go, he would actually _listen_ to me."

Yami slumped into the throne that was once his, he still thought of it as his nevertheless. "I can't believe this...."

"Relax already. He has the Shinsei sisters and the Dark Magician card with him," Akei commented, standing from his position on the floor to walk infront of Yami's throne.

"It's not that I'm entirely worried...it's the PURPOSE......he even closed off the link, how do I know he's ok?" Yami looked up from his sagged position, though he said he wasn't worried, it was clearly spoken in his eyes that he was.

"Yami. He WILL be fine," the former tomb-robber continued to encourage, not realizing his light came up besides him.

{Do you really think he will be?}

[I'm...not sure, aibou.]

******
"We're here. Yugi, you stand outside the door. Sisters and Dark Magician, you hide and I will as well." Anu whispered out before her body faded and joined into the dark mist.

Yugi stared violet eyes at the small clay made looking building. His Dark Magician had managed to brew an Invisibility spell and Yugi could feel the magician nearly behind him as a guard. The boy hung his head slightly, taking in a breath before stepping forward slowly, moving a hand up to touch the door hardly holding up by its hinges. He gasped in a slight shock of fear, feeling a dark energy pull from the door towards him.

But before he could open it himself, the door broke fully off the hinges, signaling for Yugi to enter. Eyes watered slightly and his feet did the work, pulling himself into the room and hearing a loud crash echo in the single roomed building. Yugi had to use all faith to not run out in fear, hearing a patter against the ground of something coming near him.... He took a deep breath, muttering out as he prepared himself.

"This is for you Yami...."
