Chappie 3! Finally, I have GOT to update this story more often. I'm actually growing to like this one. ^-^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yami look at this!" The light beckoned his dark to look at an aura emitting from the sennen puzzle.

Yami cocked his head to the side. "I must go to the shadow realm. Someone is calling." He looked at his aibou.

"But why?" Yuugi's eyes grew large and it showed that tears were soon to fall. Crimson eyes met purple. "I must. Whenever I'm called there, I must respond. It's my job."

"But I thought you were a Egyptian pharaoh." Yami nodded. "True, but I do need to see who is calling."

Yuugi looked over at the sennen item; the light was still there. "Alright. Please don't be long though." The great pharaoh stroked his light's cheek. "I promise I'll be back." *sniff* "Okay." Yami gently wiped away the tears at the corner of his aibou's eyes.

Yami's figure started to fizzle out like a computer image gone berserk then disappeared.

******* In the shadow realm *********

'Where is he?' The magician tapped his foot impatiently on what looked like nothing but a dark, endless abyss beneath him.

The pharaoh appeared beside Dark. "Hello."

"Oh! Hello. I've been expecting you," the spell caster looked over at Yami. "We have a problem. Skull has physically hurt someone."

Yami's brow was scrunched up. "Why would he do something like that?" He looked Dark.

"I don't know." Dark shrugged and his eyes met the pharaoh's. "I really don't know."

Yami closed his eyes. "Have you asked him yet?"

Dark shook his head. "I haven't been able to yet. I went to talk to you first." Yami nodded in response, eyes still closed. "I see."

"What do think we should do?" Dark looked at his master hopefully. In a situation like this he always looked up to his master for ideas and support, but this time he only shook his head. "I can't say that I could help in any way. This is in your own realm, so you know more than I do about it. Try to solve it on your own. That is my only advice."

Dark's face was in shock, but he quickly regained his composure. "Mm. I understand. You're right, I should take care of this myself. Thank you for listening though."

Yami opened his eyes now. "Who was the victim?"

"Celtic." The magician looked down. Yami did the same; his eyes went to their former position.

"Is he still alive?"

"Yes." The answer was just a low mumble.

"I must be going now. You do know what to do don't you?" He looked over at his most prized card. He nodded, though his action was barely visible to the pharaoh's eyes. "Good luck."

His body fizzled out again and returned to his world. Dark did the same.

******* In the monster world ***********

"So how'd it go? Did he give you any suggestions or ideas?" Faith was up in the leader's face bombarding him with questions that he was sure that would make his brain explode.

"SLOW DOWN AND STOP ASKING ME SO MANY QUESTIONS!" His voice was raised higher than usual. The smaller witch put her head down and turned her back to go. "I'm sorry..." Her voice was scarcely audible.

"Oh no. That's not. I mean. I'm sorry." He went to grab for Faith's arm and stop her. The other just stood there. "I'm sorry for yelling at you. It's just that.. that I have a lot to think about. Can you forgive me?"

The spell caster turned to face Dark. She looked at him. His eyes looked like they were about to bust, like they held too much water. She nodded. "I forgive you." Dark smiled and sighed of relief. "I'll talk to you later. Okay?"

"Okay."

Dark let go of her arm and watched her as she walked slowly away.

The purple haired wizard stepped into his room and sat down on his bed. Thoughts running through his mind.

'What am I supposed to do? I know I have responsibilities, but this is over my head. I can't take out a card. That's master Yuugi's job, not mine. I'll have to speak to him again.' This was his last thought before he fell asleep.

"Did you talk to Dark?" Lumi asked her friend. She shook her head. "No. He said he had to think about some things."

"Oh." Mystic was there as well. She gestured for her friend to come and sit on the bed with Lumi and her. "It's okay. When he's ready to talk he'll come out. I've known Dark for a long time. Ever since this deck got started. He's the type that can't take everything in at the same time. He needs time to think about things and concepts before talking about them," she looked over at Faith. "Do you understand?"

Faith nodded. "I think I get it. I'm going to go to my room. Okay." Both elves agreed and let her on her way.

"I think it's time for us to crash too." Lumi lay down on her bed and sat her good nights and good bye's to Mystic. She then crawled under her covers and fell asleep. It had been an exhausting few days. So much had happened. The girl had yet to figure it all out.

Hello! Yay! I updated again. I like this chapter. I don't think anyone's going to be replaced. DON'T ask me what possessed me to suggest that. It was nuts. But I do have one question. Should Skull be taken out? No updates until I decide to update because of lack of review or until I get suggestions.

Yes I realize that this is turning into a DM/ Faith story. I don't know how that came to be, but it did. It went into the script on its own. And that's the end of chappie 5. ^^ Bye- Bye!
