"Well," Ishizu stood standing there. "Were you not looking for me?"

"Ishizu," Shadi stepped forward but Ishizu stopped him.

"I have put the pharaoh in this tournament to protect the world, you can understand that yes?" Ishizu looked straight into Shadi's eyes.

"Do you mean to say that the evil has returned in the form of this tournament?"

"Yes Shadi."

Yugi and Joey were staring at each other scratching their heads.

"Joey, why don't you go home?"

"That's a good idea Yug! Smell ya later!"

Joey then walked out of the alley and Yugi turned his attention to Shadi and Ishizu who were still talking. Suddenly, both stopped abruptly. Shadi turned to him, "Yugi, may we speak with the pharaoh?"

"Sure, I guess. I'll see ya later." Yugi waved farewell and took hold of his puzzle and transformed into Yami Yugi. A brilliant light showered the room. As soon as the transformation was complete and Yami stood standing, Ishizu and Shadi bowed down before him.

"Please, please, stand up. I do not think that people should bow down to me if even I do not know who I am."

"Thank you my pharaoh." Ishizu and Shadi stood up, Shadi stepped forward.

"My pharaoh, I know who you are and am deeply sorry to have intruded into your unconscious."

"No apology is needed, you are simply during your job, and it is understandable."

"Thank you King Yami." Shadi bowed.

"We should retire, Shadi, Ishizu, I'm sure Yugi's grandfather will not mind your stay. This way."

Shadi lay awake on the floor staring at the ceiling remembering past events, it was 10 years ago and the Millennium Ring had just been stolen.

"So, you're the son of the genius man who lost the Millennium Ring." It was Ishizu 10 years younger.

"I am. My name happens to be Shadi you know."

The family of Ishtar and Shadi's family had gotten together to see if they could recover the Millennium Ring.

"Fine." Shadi stared at the beautiful tan skinned wonder.

* How can anything be so cruel and yet so beautiful? *

The entire time the families were together so was Shadi and Ishizu. Everyday they spent together they got closer and closer. And slowly they began to fall in love. Merrick, Ishizu's younger brother was fascinated with these Millennium Items. One day, as a special treat, Shadi's father took Shad, Ishizu, and Merrick to the chamber, which kept the Millennium Items. As soon as they entered, 4 Millennium Items rose and went to their masters. The Millennium Ankh and Scale went to Shadi. The Millennium Necklace went to Ishizu. And the Millennium Rod, which had the power to control minds, went to the youngest, Merrick. All 3 were then filled with a new kind of power.

Well? I dunno, just give me some reviews.
