The Legend of the Sennen Items

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! though I wished I did. Ankhkare (the spirit of the Ankh a.k.a. Key in the American version) and Senui (spirit of the Scales) also do not belong to me they are Indigo Tantarien's muses and she made them up for her story Three in One Combo. The spirit of the Eye and Rod are not mine either, she made them up too (cause supposedly there is no spirit in either one though the one in the Rod will be very familiar)

Okay, this is not totally about the Sennen Items a.k.a. Millenium Items. It is about how there came to be spirits in them. Enjoy!

* * * * * * * * * * Okay, my newest fic. Enjoy, no yaois in this one either.

So, I've posted up my newest chappie for this fic. I hope you like it. It digresses further into the first round of the tournament. This chapter's matches are Bakura vs. Mateye, and Navar vs. Seno; who is Kurai chan and Yami Kurai's muse. I think he's a cool character!

Chapter 7: Bakura and Navar Matches

Bakura walked out into the arena with a confident smirk on his face, he had a perfect plan already. At the other end, there was a sailor, Mateye. He wore an eye-patch over his left eye and had a thin brown mustache, a piece of red cloth was tied tightly around his head. "Aye, I suppose this is going to be my opponent?" leered Mateye, he looked closer at Bakura taking in the long jagged white hair and a scar that ran down his left cheek. Mateye backed up in horror, "The Thief King? I've got to go against him?" wailed the sailor. Bakura narrowed his eyes. He was looking forward for some actual competition.

"Hurry up and let's start the match." hissed Bakura.

"Begin!" shouted Seth.

Bakura ran towards the unfortunate sailor with a wicked grin on his face. His hands were already filled with explosive, condensed Shadow Magic. The orbs flew out of his hands, Mateye gave a yelp and dodged the blows. A snarl appeared on Bakura's face. But then an even better idea came to him.

"Diabaundo, my kaa I call to you!" shouted Bakura, a black aura surrounded him and a large winged snake (A/N. Did I get that right? Or was the other kaa that Bakura had the Diabaundo?) appeared hissing and twisting in the air. "After all, this is a Shadow Game isn't it? And what is a Shadow Game without your kaa?" laughed Bakura.

Marik leaned out of his seat as the great snake flew past the stands. Everyone else shied and screamed in horror. "Cool." said Marik watched the snake coil itself contently above Bakura. The opponent Bakura was against, Mateye, yes that was his name was screaming pitifully in its clutches.

Bakura looked up at the doomed sailor. * Hmm, should I kill him? Maybe that would make my next opponents fear me. Things will be much easier then. But then again killing him, one measly human with Diabaundo's great power is a waste. Best save that for 'prince-sama' over there when I verse him. * thought Bakura. "Diabaundo, drop him!" ordered Bakura. The great snake loosened its coils and the man fell to the ground with a raw thud. He was unconscious, but not really hurt.

"Bakura is the victor." spat Seth contemptuously. Bakura smirked at the High Priest and sauntered away. His kaa moving gracefully through the air above him until it disappeared back into the Shadow Realm.

"The next contestant is Navar and Seno!" shouted Seth. Navar sauntered out to the arena calm and very confident.

"Who is this Seno?" smiled Navar, "Another little boy due for a beating?" His smile turned into a wide grin when he saw his opponent. It was a boy in his late teens, about seventeen if Navar could put it on the spot exactly, one of the natives to Egypt by the looks of his black hair and dark eyes. He was a little tall for his age and fairly slim, and was holding a nice looking scythe by his side; weapon or no weapon he was just another easily intimidated little boy.

Seno narrowed his eyes at the foreigner. He had seen him sometimes wandering about the streets of Cairo. He gripped his double-bladed, onyx scythe tightly. This man was overconfident, too overconfident; a fault that he had learned to overcome in his profession as an assassin.

~ So my little enemy is an assassin. A job I hardly think would suit such a young man. ~ said a voice in his head.

* What? Who is this? * demanded Seno shifting his eyes around looking for the source of this projected voice inside his mind.

~ Oh, you know who I am. I am your opponent. As you had said yourself you have seen me, and I have seen you. Does that make us on even grounds? ~ asked Navar.

Seno gritted his teeth, * We are to fight an honorable Shadow Game. So get out of my head! *

~ Young people are so interesting to watch these days. No, I will not get out of your head. This is a Shadow Game and this is the special ability my magic gives me. So it is considered part of the game. ~ lilted Navar.

That man! If he stayed inside his head, he would know every move he was going to make. So he had to let go of his carefully thought out plans. It was freestyle from here on out. Seno lifted his scythe, he had to be careful in this match. If a person had weapons they were not permitted to touch the other player. So if Navar managed to even brush against his scythe, Seno would be disqualified. And he wasn't about to let that happen.

"Let the match begin!" shouted Seth.

Navar grinned confidently at Seno and ran towards him, his hands glowing with the pulsing energy of Shadow Magic around them. It was like gel in his hands. Suddenly they sprung into black fire and Navar flung them at Seno quickly.

Seno brought up his scythe and deflected the shots, one of them managed to brush past part of his hand so two of his fingers were burned. He ignored the pain and spun his scythe rapidly creating a black whirl, from that whirl there came a twisting ring of Shadow Magic. Navar backed up and tried to get away from the blast but failed. It hit him full force. Seno looked at the foreigner to see if he had been defeated. But Navar stood back up, grimacing in pain, but still with some fight in him.

So he had to finish him off. That would be well enough. Seno brought up his scythe and slashed through the air. The two onyx blades glowed and two outbursts of Shadow Magic hurtled through the air in the shape of the blades towards Navar. The man dropped to the ground.

* So that's how he dispels his magic. All I have to do is to get that scythe away from him and this match is in the bag. Sorry boy, this has been a close match but I'm going to be the one who wins it all. * thought Navar standing up and rushed towards Seno. Seno aimed some more blasts of magic from his scythe, but it was of no avail as Navar dodged them. With a yell, Navar jumped into the air tackled Seno to the ground.

Seno's assassin skills kicked in immediately. He dropped his scythe as far away as he could from Navar and punched the man's jaw. Navar grunted and his grip loosened as he looked up at the boy. A bloody nose was what he had gained. Seno wriggled out from underneath the dazed Navar and kicked him again. Navar groaned and struggled to stand back up. Seno lunged in to punch Navar and then it would be all over. But right at that moment, something that burned painfully surrounded him and he blacked out.

Navar watched as the boy was carried off the field. He carried a decent fight. The onyx scythe was carried with the Seno by one of the guards. Navar wiped away his bloody nose with his shirtsleeve and walked back into the waiting room. With his powers, he anticipated Seno's next move. The boy might have won if he had moved any quicker, but he didn't. Life is unfair.

* Well, it's off to the next round for me. * thought Navar sitting back down on a wine barrel.

* * * to be continued . . . maybe * * *

Hi I updated! I finally got enough people's OC's to participate in this thing! Seno if you wanted to know belongs to Kurai chan and Yami Kurai. He is a kick butt character. I was sorry he wasn't supposed to win. I don't really like Navar. He's like Pegasus . . . but worse. But Zekel Sha is cool! Go and read Millenium Slinky's : Yami in the Mirror fic. I hope that's the right title. But she's on my fav. Authors and one of her stories is on my fav. Stories so you can just go to her fics and read 'em all!

And about Bakura's easy win, I just thought I should put a really inexperienced person in this to show that Yami took ANYONE that could wield Shadow Magic off the streets.

I just found out that my info is not very correct. Darn. But please still read it! What really was supposed to happen was that Yami's father created the Millenium Items like forty or something years ago. There were priests that protected the Items and the spirits weren't in them yet. But I guess I can work them into it sooner or later. -Fire Pendant. ^_^

P.S. -SCHOOL'S FINALLY GOING TO BE OVER ON MONDAY FOR US! I MIGHT BE ABLE TO UPDATE SOONER! OH THANK YOU RA! But then again . . . I'm just kidding, I'll be updating more often, if my mom lets me go on the net. See yah all! R+R
