Epilogue : Shadow Runner.

It was nightfall and the shadows were slowly taking over the land. It had been twenty-four hours since the police had arrested An's mother.

An sat on the edge of the roof of the hotel. Her legs dangled over the side.

"I thought you were scared of heights." Seto said behind her.

"Got over it." An sighed not turning around, that was a really bright moon up there tonight. "Ask Ryou about it some time."

"Ryou? Still I don't like you sitting on the edge like this, is it going to be third time the charm?" Seto asked. "Should I get Tea up her to talk you away from the edge, she just had a long conversation about the evils of Aerosmith songs with me."

An snickered, sure Tea was all right but when she had a point to make she wouldn't really shut up.

"Hardly." An answered. "And if you get her up her I'll throw you off the roof."

"As if you could." Seto said. But he really meant 'are you sure you don't need anyone to talk too.'

An sighed. "If I was still depressed enough to let myself die I would have let mom do that."

"So why are you here."

"I just broke my Mom's back Seto."

"That was Anhai." Seto said.

"We're practically the same person Seto." An sighed. "We just need time to think."

Seto didn't reply. An heard footsteps going off into the distance. An smiled. Seto would be waiting by the door back inside. She would bet her soul on that.

/I don't think I can go home yet./ An told Anhai.

/Why it was self-defence./ Anhai said. /And I was the one who done it and she was trying to kill you in case you've forgotten./

/Anhai, I,...we...okay you have powers that you can't control and they're leaking into me. I can feel it. We can't risk what's left of my family./ An held the armlet in her hands. /I don't think we can go back until we can control this/

/You could drop it of the roof./

/What about you?/

An felt the mental equivalent of a shrug.

/No. Your my Yami and I can't throw you away./ An said. /But what are we going to do?/

/I think I can get us off the roof with no one knowing, I think we can get us anywhere we want to go ./

/How?/

/The shadow Realm./ Anhai said. /Head towards the darkest shadow on the roof./

An stood and headed towards the darkness...

*******************************************************************************

The next morning Seto was asleep in the door way to the roof. He woke up as the light of dawn struck his face. He searched the roof but there was no sign of An.

Seto sighed. She might have gotten past him while he was asleep. He walked back to his room.

*******************************************************************************

Bakura woke up early for him. He hadn't closed the curtains and the early rays of dawn drilled their light into his eyes. He rolled over and tried to fall back asleep, but the sun was still in his eyes there was now escaping it.

He sat up rubbing his eyes. He was still tried but doubted he would get back to sleep. He went to pick up his ring from the bed side table to find a letter on it.

'Ryou and Bakura.

I have to go for a while I don't know how long. It may be a long while.

I'm sure you understand.

An and Anhai'

Something fell out of the letter. It was the Mystic Elf card. Bakura re-read the letter. He had never gotten dressed do fast before and was out of the room running towards the Kaiba's room. He ran right into Seto, Mokuba was at his side. Mokuba was crying. Seto held a note in his hand.

"She left you one too?" He asked.

Bakura nodded.

The three of them sat in the Kaiba's room, Seto had ordered breakfast for the three of them. Mokuba and Bakura had fallen back to sleep on the couch when there was a banging on the door. The two jolted awake. Seto went to open the door. Joey was there, he had a note in his hand too.

"I know." Seto said tiredly before the pale Joey could say anything. "I've told the police but I don't think we'll see her again until she's ready."

No one knew that now in Egypt a hooded man was finding an unconscious welsh red-haired girl in a dark ally.

******************************************

But here's a sneek peek if your interested.

******************************************

Ryou was walking home from school when he got the feeling again. He looked around but there was no one around, so no one could be watching him.

He shook the feeling off, or tried to, he didn't like the thought of going home to an empty house After all his father was in Egypt with An. He changed direction and headed to Yugi's shop instead, he wouldn't mind him staying for a while.

He was almost there when he found a heap on the ground.

A Yugi shaped heap.

"Yugi?" Ryou knelt next to his beat-up friend. "Yugi! What happened?"

"I don't know...the puzzle...they took the puzzle..." Yugi passed out.

Ryou picked up Yugi had carried him to the shop.
