CHAPTER ONE-THE ROYAL FAMILY IS NO MORE

"Path of darkness, path of light.

Only my soul can choose which is right.

Enter the Shadow Realm and let your mind set free.

Release your burdens, and let yourself leave. SENNEN RING!!!"

There was an earsplitting scream as the tomb robber's soul left his body and entered the Sennen Ring. The head priest lowered the Sennen Rod as he looked unhappily at the lifeless body of Egypt's most well known tomb robber;

"Bakura." The priest muttered as he motioned for an assistant to take the body

to the Death Caravan. The priest watched as the tomb robber was taken away.

The priest removed his hood as he looked angrily at a table of mysterious items.

His hair was surprisingly blond, his eyes where a hard dark lavender with small

pupils. He looked at the items with anger and fear. There where 7. He ran a

slender finger over each item in turn, remembering each name and power as if it

was being cut in his heart with a dagger. He ran his finger over the first one. 'The

Sennen Eye.' he thought, 'mind reading, and displacer of spirits'. He looked at it

and thought with a small essence of happiness, 'no spirits here.' He thought with

a smile. He looked at the next one with a smaller smile. 'The Sennen Balance.

Comparer of worthiness, and lie detector.' He looked at the one next to it, 'the

Sennen Ankh.' He removed his hand from it with a small growl. 'The key to

opening minds.' He looked at it with a bit of disgust. The Sennen Balance and

Ankh both where official property of Shadi. He chose to ignore that and continue

his little tour. 'The Sennen Tauk.' He stopped and looked at the golden

necklace unhappily. "Isis." He muttered softly as tears slowly came to his eyes

and started to drip down his face. Isis was his sister; she was imprisoned in the

Sennen Tauk. "Visions of the present, past, and future." His voice trailed of as

he stared hard at the golden necklace.

~*~*~*FLASHBACK*~*~*~

"Malik, it's the only way." Isis' voice trailed away as she looked at him with her

deep ocean blue eyes. "Isis, even if it is the only way why you?" Malik had

hissed angrily. Isis looked at her brother with a sigh and replied, "It's destiny".

~*~*~*~STILL IN FLASHBACK~*~*~*~

Malik watched in horror as his sister's soul began to leave her body. "The

Sennen Charm!" She had whispered, on her last breath she said; "imprison

Yuutsu." With that Isis was no longer there.

~*~*~*END OF FLASHBACK*~*~*~

Malik sighed as he wiped away his tears on his sleeve. Yuutsu was the

Pharaoh's younger sister; it was true that she had constantly begged her brother

not to be imprisoned. No luck. It made sense that she would have ordered for a

Sennen Item to be made for herself; she must have been worried about her

brother in the future. Malik reached into his pocket and pulled out a golden

pendent that was in an oval shape. 'The Sennen Charm.' Malik thought with a

sigh. He put it back in his pocket the minute the young Pharaoh stalked in, a

troubled expression on his face and his younger sister following. The pharaoh sat

uneasily in a soft chair. Malik handed him the Sennen Puzzle and spoke his

mystical chant; "Path of darkness, path of light. Only my soul can choose which

is right. Enter the Shadow Realm and let your mind set free. Release your

burdens and let yourself leave. SENNEN PUZZLE!!!" The pharaoh's

bloodcurdling scream was heard at the same time a small girl whispered softly;

"Yami." All at once the magic took place and the pharaoh had departed from

their world. Yuutsu swayed on the spot but did not cry out like an ordinary child,

she just stood quietly with tears pouring down her face. "I'm ready." Yuutsu

whispered in a tiny soft voice. Malik's eyes widened, Yuutsu was a very assertive

child and never stuttered. She was like her brother; cold and emotionless. Seeing

her like this was surprising though, she must have been very afraid. Malik

handed her the charm and chanted the deathly spell, he winced and waited for

the glass-shattering cry of Yuutsu, but none came. Malik looked around to see if

the young girl had run away, but surprisingly enough she was there her eyes

glassy and forever wincing in the pain of not crying out. Malik looked unhappily at

the two last remainders of the royal family, dead and yet, not. He tapped the

guard who was waiting out in the corridor and said in a grim voice; "The royal

family, is no more." Malik looked nervously at the Sennen Rod, which he held in

his hand, it was his time to go.

"Path of darkness, path of light. Only my soul can choose which is right. Enter the

Shadow Realm and let your mind set free. Release your burdens, and let

yourself leave. SENNEN ROD!!!!" And with that, Malik was gone as well.
