DISCLAIMER: I don't own yu-gi-oh or anything related. I do, however, own
Syrin.
Syrin: That's not nice.
Kitty: Yes, it is.
Syrin: It makes me feel like I'm just and object to be passed around and
admired.
Kitty: You are very special, Syrin. Remember, I created you.
Syrin: That's what scares me. This chapter has a mushy ending.
Kitty: Oh, come on, it's good to have so oatmeal in your stale-bread life!
And how am I scary?
Syrin: You know.
Kitty: (sigh) How is it that I am considered scary in a world full of
freaks?
Syrin: You're weird.
Kitty: In that I take pride, now bow before me, little creature!
Syrin: No.
Kitty: What did you say?
Syrin: No.
Kitty: Why you little. (CRASH!!!)

Chapter 7- Shadow Duel
Immediately, the vortex begins to roar. "Call upon your strongest monster, Yami!" Syrin shouts. "I call upon the Emerald Panther!" A part of the vortex swirls in front of Syrin, and a monster appears. It is like a panther, with green fur and glowing silver eyes. It has long, glistening white fangs and silver claws, and a poisonous barb tips its tail. Letting out a shriek, the Emerald Panther spreads its silver-feathered wings. Yami grimaces. "I call upon the Dark Magician!" The vortex in front of Yami swirls and his familiar Dark Magician appears before him, wielding his staff.
"Attack!" both Yami and Syrin yell. The Emerald Panther springs towards the Dark Magician, claws extended. The Dark Magician pulls out his staff and uses his dark magic attack, but the panther dodges away, striking out with her tail as she does so. The panther slashes the Dark Magician's arm. Yami cries out as his arm comes alive with pain, but manages to focus on the duel.
"Does it hurt, Yami?" Syrin says coldly. "That is the pain I felt for all those years because father shunned me."
The Emerald Panther swung around, and leaped at the Dark Magician. Thinking quickly, Yami took hold of his monster with his mind, and used his dark magic attack, striking the panther directly. The panther roared and rolled away, but Syrin stood still.
"Yami." She whispers, and Yami sees tears in her green eyes. "I've grown used to the pain."
The Emerald Panther attacks again, this time slashing with her claws. She catches the Dark Magician in his side, and Yami cries out, clutching his side. Turning, the panther attacks yet again, catching the Magician in his helmeted head. Yami falls to his knees, as does the Dark Magician.
The Panther stands over him, and Syrin stares at Yami. The Millennium puzzle and the Thousand Crystal both begin to glow. Suddenly, they both have a flashback.
A tall man sitting on a throne, and a boy standing behind him. "Yami," says the man. "You are destined to be great. Your heart is strong. You will be a fine Pharaoh." Then, a woman storms in, carrying a small bundle. "Pharaoh!" she calls. The man stands up. "You have given me a daughter! May Raa curse you! I will not carry her any longer. She has your flesh, so she must be royal. I leave Syrin here with you. I do not want her." The woman puts the maybe down on the hard floor and disappears. There is a moment of silence, then "Guards! Bring the child here." The baby is brought to the Pharaoh, who looks at her. She has dark hair, but her eyes glow green as she stares at him. The Pharaoh and the child share the same eyes. The baby then looks at Yami, and the boy is taken back by the ferocity of her emerald glare. "Take her away." The Pharaoh whispers. "She is of royal blood, so she can not be passed as a commoner. She will be raised as a royal, but Yami is to be my successor. Go!" The baby is taken away, and Yami turns to his father. "Father," he says. "How is she royal?" The Pharaoh looks at his son. "She is my child, but does not have your mother. Her mother is a gypsy, raised in the darkest Shadow. I fear that one day, Syrin will challenge you for a throne." Yami looked out the door where they had taken his half-sister. "I
will be her friend, just the same."
The flashback ended, leaving them silent in the vortex.
"I tried." Yami says. "But Syrin, you hated me so much."
"Yami," Syrin whispered. "I hated being second. Father always prized you. Father never loved me. If only I had been loved. I would have loved you, Yami. Do you understand?"
Yami nods, with tears running down his face. Syrin takes a deep breath. "I surrender the duel."
The vortex disappears, and they both find themselves in the cove again. Syrin falls to her knees and sobs, and Yami takes her hands and comforts her.
Chapter 8-
Three weeks later, Yugi is sitting outside his Grandfather's game shop. His Grandfather, Solomon Moto, comes out of the shop and sits by him. "So Yugi, are you sure you don't want any of your friends to know that Syrin really isn't your cousin?" Solomon asks. "No, Grandpa. This is a secret between you, Yami, and me. He's so happy to know someone from his past. Thanks, Grandpa, for helping me."
"Glad I could help, my boy." Says Grandpa.
A few miles away, in the cove, Yami in his spirit form and Syrin sit on the sand and gaze out onto the sea.
"See, Syrin?" says Yami to Syrin. "You'll be fine, here."
"Thank you, brother. And I should thank Yugi and his Grandfather, too. They are kind to let me pretend I'm their cousin. I will go out again, though, and search for my purpose in this world. I do not fully understand why I was brought back from Ancient Egypt, but I must have a purpose."
"Syrin, you never told me what happened when Yugi and I helped you." Syrin's hands goes to the scar on her forehead. "You mean this?" Yami nods. "Do you remember Merick, Yami?"
"Yes. He is after the puzzle, and he weilds the Millennium rod
"Yes, Syrin, you have a destiny, just as Yugi and I do. I will be here for you, Syrin. I will be your brother, once again."
"Thank you, Yami."
They gaze out onto the ocean again.
