By: Aqua

Disclaimer: I do not own anything of Yu-Gi-Oh. It belongs to a very talented man in Japan. The only things I own in this story are my thoughts and feelings

Thoughts: Blah, Blah.

Yami: ~Yada, Yada.~



Yugi, his friends and Mokuba stood in front of the open gate, with there mouths open. The land was filled with death. Dead grass, dead trees and dead roses. Tan and brown where the only colors that showed throughout the whole land. "Well, we came here for a reason." Sighed Joey as the group went up the long pathway to the house.

Meanwhile in a small café*~*~*~*~*~

Seto and Mizu had just ordered their drinks and were sitting quietly in a booth. Seto looked down and sighed. "What's wrong?" asked Mizu sweetly. Seto took a big breath, "I feel so bad at what I did to Mokuba. I mean I never shouted at him like I did today." Mizu's mouth frowned. "I am, really starting to think that we should have gone on our date." Mizu was shocked. "Seto! How can you think such a think?" "What?" "Look, I really, truly care about your brother, Mokuba but I mean, he needs to know when to share. I can understand his feelings towards me about the whole 'Brother Day' thing but he isn't the only person that loves you." Mizu placed her hand on his. "I love you too." Seto didn't say a word. "Come on." Said Mizu getting the drinks. "Lets go for a walk."

Yugi and company ran up the path to the mansion. The mansion was old. The white, pearl walls have been changed to black. There were holes everywhere! On the roof, on the walls and on the windows. It looked like the place was burned down. No one could live here! "What happened here?!" exclaimed Tea. "I don't know," said Triston. "Are ya sure this place is even Mizu's?" asked Joey. "It-it has to be!" said Mokuba. "But it doesn't fit the description." Said Yugi. "NONE OF IT DOES." "Ya," added Joey, "Where are the greens, where are the flowers, where is the FREAKIN HOUSE?!" "Come down Joey." Said Yugi. "Let check inside." "Ya, maybe there is an explanation to all of this." Said Triston.

The group slowly opened the front door. That familiar 'creak' sound was heard. The place was dark in dismal. It felt stuffy. The only light showing throughout the mansion was from the holes in the room. "Here, let me help." Said Triston. Triston brought out a lighter and lit a few white candles that were in front of him. "We should search this floor only." Said Tea. "If we go upstairs, the rotten old boards might fall from our weight." "Good idea Tea." Complimented Yugi. "Ok, let's split up!" shouted Mokuba. Triston handed out the candles and everyone went in their own direction.

"Yami, I don't like this place." Said Yugi.

~Don't worry little one, I will protect you.~

"Yami, do you still sense those things?"

~Stronger than ever.~ said Yami solemnly.

"Then we must be close."

~Yes, we must!~

"Hey Triston, Check this out!" called Joey. Triston walked over to him. "Whoa!" said Triston. "Ya I know." They two stared at a strange tapestry. It was a picture of blue roses and had writings all over it. "I can't make out the symbols." Said Triston. "Can you?" "-A dog ate a briefcase filled with doughnuts-no I can't either." "What is this suppose to mean?" asked Triston. "I don't know."

Mokuba and Tea walked around the room. "Hey check this out!" said Mokuba as he picked up a porcelain statue. It was an Asian woman dressed in old traditional costume. Yet, its face was scratch off. "Wow it is so pretty!" said Tea with awe. "Do you think it has something to do with Mizu?" "Could be." "Hey you guys!" said Yugi as he walked over to the two. "Hey!" said Tea. "Did you guys find anything?" "Well, as a matter of fact we-" "Hey-you- guys" came a voice. Suddenly Triston and Joey appeared out of breath. "We- found-old-tapestry-with-pretty-flowers." Huffed Triston. "Ya-and-weird- writing-on-it-couldn't-translate." Puffed Joey. "You know, you guys should take the time to catch your breath before you guys sound like morons." Said Mokuba. "What did you guys find?" asked Yugi. "We found this old porcelain statue of a woman, I might have something related with Mizu." Answered Mokuba. "Hey I know!" said Tea. "What?" "We can go to the museum and ask about it! I think they are doing a feature on some Asian history." "Cool!" said Mokuba. "Ya, let go!" The group ran out of the mansion and to the Domino City Museum.
