Chapter Twenty: Watashi no sekai, yume to koi to fuan de dekite'ru

"My world is made of dreams, love, and worries" – Purachina "Platinum" – Card Captor Sakura 3RD SESON OP.

Shelia looked through her crystal prison cell. She watched the water of the pool below her, in the bottom of the room, shimmer with light. She was still prisoner, and Shelia knew that Yuugi was even in a worse position. He had been tricked, and changed into Koukei, the ultimate fighting machines. Sheila smiled as Koukei walked into the room, looking at the pool of water. "Yuug'!"

Koukei growled at the name. He wasn't Yuugi, as this girl claimed. Yuugi was dead. He turned and looked up at her, ruby eyes daring her to challenge him. "What do you want?"

"To help you." Sheila told him. "I know that you've been hurt, Yuug. I know that you are lost, and want to know what has happened to you, or Yami."

"Don't you ever speak his name!" Koukei shouted. He felt as if something nagged him, as if it weren't true. Yami didn't need him, Yami left him there to rot. Koukei shook his head. "No, NO!"

"Yuugi." Sheila said softly. "You know this is true. Stop lying to yourself! If you do, you are just going to be more lost and confused, believe me Yuugi." She paused. "I know what it is like." She looked as Koukei turned away from her. "Not to know your family, past…or if you really have a reason to live."

Koukei stopped, and turned back up to her. His long black trench coat swayed as he did, his ruby eyes looking at her in question. He wondered why she was telling him this. Maybe she was right?

"Yuugi, let me help you." Shelia said softly. "I can, I know it. Remember how I helped Yami? How I brought him back to you? Well now it's my turn to help you again." She gazed at the Eye of Horus head-band that he wore on his head. "Where is your Sennen Puzzle?"

Koukei shrugged. "I do not know."

"That helps." Shelia muttered. "Ok, you have to help me ok? Now, listen to what I am saying, ok Yuugi?"

"Ok." Koukei nodded.

Shelia told him exactly what to do. Koukei reached his arm down in the pool of water, and grabbed it. He let some water, metallic like, drip and then it formed into a long knife, gleaming. He then threw it at the prison she was in, and it shattered. Shelia, or at least her spirit fell to the ground, and looked around.

"Thanks." Sheila said. "Now, how do we get out of here?"

"I want my Puzzle back." Koukei told her.

Shelia nodded. "Ok."

Tomoyo looked down at Sakura. She changed her gaze to Eriol, who sat there. "Eriol, is there some way that we can bring Sakura-chan back? They need her….Yami needs her." She whispered.

Eriol sighed. "The only way is to have the Black Magic Woman come here."

Tomoyo nodded and looked to Kero and Spinnel Sun. They sat there, watching the whole scene. Yue also was there, and guilt was in his eyes. He couldn't stand to see the one he was supposed to be protecting lost in a maze of souls. Yue looked up as he heard the door slam open. Yue watched as the door swung open, and there stood Ryou Bakura (a/n: normal Bakura is called "ryou" and yami-bakura is called Bakura). "Welcome, Ryou."

Ryou looked at the winged man. "Hullo." He said in his British accent. He looked around. "Where is Yuugi? And what happened to Sakura?!"

Tomoyo quickly told him, and Ryou nodded. He shook his Millennium Ring, and Bakura came out. He looked darkly at his light, then to everyone else. "What?!" he barked.

"We mean no harm, Bakura." Eriol told him. "We need a favor from you."

"What kind of favor?" Bakura sneered.

"We need you to help us find the Black Magic Woman." Eriol said.

"Ah, Lulu." Bakura smiled, obviously remembering the woman. "I have not seen her in a long time, and you expect me to try and find her?"

"You are the only one that could know where she is." Eriol said. "You were the last one with her."

"Odd, seeing that you are her brother that you can't find her." Bakura shot.

Ryou. and Tomoyo gasped. "Your sister, Eriol?!" Ryou asked.

"She was reborn, like all of us." Eriol told them. "She is more of Clow Reed's sister." Eriol looked at Bakura. "You have to help us, Bakura. No matter what, more than just one person will be hurt."

"So?"

"If you don't help us, then you'll lose your enemy. Yugioh." Eriol stated. "Nothing brings people closer than a common enemy."

Bakura sneered, knowing the sorcerer was right. He folded his arms. "Just because she was my past love doesn't mean that she is truly going to still like me."

"You were foolish enough to think she was mortal." Yue said calmly.

Bakura sneered.

"Please Yami." Ryou asked. "Please?"

"Fine." Bakura sighed. "Last time she told me, she said that she'd be somewhere when a lost soul needed her. When the key to a giant puzzle was being used."

Eriol nodded. "I see." He turned and then climbed up onto the small porch by Sakura's window. He closed his eyes. "They are close." He said. Tomoyo and Ryou didn't understand. Kero, Spinner Sun and Yue nodded. Bakura sneered.

Anzu followed the Dark Magician still. Her feet hurt, but she couldn't complain. She looked ahead to Yugioh, who kept on walking after his servant. Anzu didn't remember much of her past, but only knew that Yugioh was slowly becoming the way he used to be. Finally the Dark Magician stopped.

"What is it?" Yugioh asked.

Dark Magician turned to him. "If we go past this door…then," he looked back at the door. "We will end up in the Ice Room. The place where the Knife of Ice is forged."

Yugioh's eyes narrowed at the mention of it. He clutched his fists and then glared at the door. "Dark Magic Attack, now." He ordered.

Dark Magician did as he was told, and the door crumbled. The three stepped in, and the door reformed. Anzu looked around in amazement, and saw the small pool of metallic like water. Her eyes widened as she saw something in the water.

The image shifted, to the Alter of Tears, where a tall woman stood. Her dark brown eyes set upon the sky, her long flowing black robes with grey lace moving behind her. Finally her long red finger nails and dark make up added to her appearance. The woman turned and then watched as a Greek woman stepped up. The Greek woman handed her a triangle. The black woman turned around again and placed it on the center of the alter. She then took up a pure silver blade and cut it in half. Then..the pool returned to normal.

Anzu looked up. Yugioh was inspecting the area, and she looked at Dark Magician. He just slowly nodded, and turned back to his master. Suddenly Anzu felt a tug to her left, and found that something was on the ground. She bent down. "Yami!" she called.

Yugioh ran over and felt as if his heart was trampled upon. He bent down, and picked up a torn piece of a woven bracelet, the one that Yuugi had. Yugioh looked up, new fire in his eyes. He stood up, and began running down the hall.

"Yami!" "Master!"

Shelia led the way. She could feel that Koukei was growing tired of this, and that he would soon question her. Shelia continued on until she reached double doors. She felt Silphe's power from within. "In here." She said.

Koukei looked at her, then to the doors. He placed his hand on the door, and it opened. There upon a crystal thrown sat Silphe, and next to her lay the Sennen Puzzle. Koukei resisted the urge to destroy her.

Silphe smiled, and clapped. "Congratulations! I never thought of you to get this far, my vessel. I commend you." She stood up. "Yet, sadly, the game is about to end."

"This is no game." Sheila warned. "You either give Yuugi his Puzzle back, or I will force it from your very bloody hands."

"Such language." Silphe remarked. "No matter, once you are out of the way…then I can fully reek revenge on every person on that planet."

"You shall do no such think." Koukei said. He stood tall, and glared.

Silphe gave a pure evil laugh. "Oh, little Yuugi. How I knew you'd turn on me, I knew it." She snapped her fingers and three Harpies Ladies appeared. "Now, my pets, please show the little Pharaoh out."

Koukei growled as the Harpies pinned him to the wall. A Chain Energy strapped him to the wall by his limbs, and he felt weak. He looked up at Silphe.

"And now, the final chapter of this saga, of Yugioh's Saga is to be written." Silphe laughed. "With my ending!"

Yugioh stopped as he reached a door. He broke down the door, to revile a dusty room. It had not been used in, centuries, at the most. Yugioh turned and watched as Anzu walked in. "What is this place?"

Anzu looked at him. "It's the place were the final piece is laying." She told him. Anzu walked forward and watched as a small stage appeared, and then a woman with dark skin and red flowing hair appeared. She wore two bracelets, with scythes attached to them. Her blue Arabian like robes, with yellow ribbons moved along as she danced. "Who are you?" Anzu asked.

The woman stopped. "I am nothing, and nothing I me. I am a key to be used, and you are to use me as a key. In order to use me, you must destroy something of great value, or all is lost."

"You sound like the Faceless Mage." Anzu stated.

"This is a Ritual Summon." Dark Magician told them. "In order to tap into her power, you must sacrifice something of great importance. Once done, she will begin her Ritual Summon."

"And, what does she summon?" Anzu asked, as Yugioh stood silent. "What is her name?"

"Names are not used, for I." the dancer replied. "I am but a key, a magic, to unlock Earthly power. I summon the Earthly power which you need, and that is all."

"She is known as the Commencement Dance." Yugioh said. "You'd usually sacrifice some sort of Monster for her, but I believe she is letting us be spared that." And for that, Yugioh was grateful. He looked as his magician. Yugioh took off his bracelet and handed it to the dancer.

"Important this is, to you, oh Pharaoh." said the dancer. "Given to you by a light that you care of, and will protect." She then jumped back, landing right on to her feet, like a cat. "This dance shall I perform, give it the power that you need to get to your goal alive."

"Why, what is there left?" Anzu questioned.

"No tests, no more." The dancer replied. "The sword, know of how to bring your Spirit Item back, for the Greek commanded it this way," she bowed and then began a slow Arabian dance. It began to get faster until she let off a green-blue light from her body there was a flash, and suddenly a new woman appeared where the dancer had been.

She had long flowing pink hair, and looked like the Commencement Dance, except she was a pale white and wore green and pink. She opened her green eyes. "I am at your service, Lord of Egypt, Pharaoh."

Yugioh looked into her eyes, and was reminded of Sakura. He felt his heart turn in sorrow. "Performance of Sword, we need you to direct us to the rest of the Triangle of Light."

"I can only do this, Pharaoh, if a worthy blood line wielder is present." The dancer replied.

"What about the reincarnation of Queen Mecca?" Dark Magician asked.

The dance smiled. "Even better, welcome, my mistress." The dancer bowed.

Tomoyo pulled a book off the shelf. She recognized Sakura's handwriting. She turned to the others, and read. "My world is made of dreams, love, and worries. Though this may be true, I still have my friends, and loved ones. They may not always be here, but, they shall always be with my heart." She looked up.

Bakura smiled as the lights in the house went out. Yue, and Kero seemed to no alarm, but Ryou, Tomoyo and Spinner looked around confused. Tomoyo ran to a window and saw that the clouds and sky darkened. "Nani?!"

"The Ritual has been done." Eriol stated. "It won't be long now." He looked at them. "She is coming."
