A/N: I'm so sorry for not updating sooner! I was unable to access a computer for the longest ;_; But from now on I'll be updating weekly =^_^=
Shadi: Oh great...
In this chapter....there is a tiny tiny bit of violence that I included, and when my friend read over it, she suggested that I might have to raise the rating of this fanfic up to 'R' instead of PG-13. Honestly I don't think it's that bad, but do tell me what you think, because worse things will happen in this fic.
Shadi: Violence....WHOOT!!!! *dances*
O.o;;; Right then.... Oh and thank you to all the reviewers :P I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
Shadi: And for all our sakes please remember that Red Prophet does not own Yugioh, or any ties to it!

"Yes the seven indeed," Shadi continued in his thick middle-eastern accent, "Desperate times call for desperate measures, and I'm afraid these desperate times are upon us."
"What do you mean desperate?" Mau questioned, pulling away from Yami's grip and striding over to Shadi, "Everything is perfectly fine! Isn't it Yami?"
To her question, only a sudden silence greeted Mau.
"Isn't it?" Mau repeated, her voice wavering.
Yami sighed heavily, his harsh crimson eyes softened, "No...Right now I think....I think we should listen to what this Shadi has to say." Yami finished.
"Ancient magic has arisen once again, and I fear that it might lead to the ruin of us all, yes indeed it might," Shadi said, an odd half smile on his face.
"Then surely you must know a way to defeat this magic?" Yami countered, narrowing his eyes. His mind automatically raced to the seven items.
"HA!" Shadi exclaimed loudly, causing Mau to back away from him, "How can I tell you how to defeat the magic when you possess it yourselves?" and spread an annoyed look on his face, as if he expected more of Yami and Mau. "The only way I can help you is to tell you about the magic itself, although do to the Supreme I have a limit to what I can share with you right now."
"The Supreme?" Mau said, stifling laughter, "Gods you must be insane! There's no such thing as magic!"
At this point Mau was very skeptical about Shadi, everything about him seemed odd, and out of place. He wore a long flowing robe that seemed to large for his tall thin frame, and a large turban sat upon his head, sagging enough to almost completely cover his blue eyes. Large circular golden earrings hung down, and rested against the side of Shadi's face, completing his attire.
To Mau, he didn't exactly y seem like the most trustworthy person in the world.
"I do trust that you want to find out about the item's abilities, do you not?" Shadi asked, a sly grin crossed his face, it was as if Shadi could change from one emotion to another in no time flat.
Yami and Mau glanced at each other, and silently decided to let the man say what he had come to, he didn't look dangerous.
"Very well, share what you will." Yami's strong voice rang out.

"Thank you Otogi, you've been extremely helpful asset."
"Thank you Mr. Kaiba." Otogi said, and bowed to show his respect and allegiance toward Kaiba.
"But unfortunately for you, I simply cannot allow you to live." Kaiba said, his voice as thin as ice.
Kaiba fired his rifle.
The round caught Otogi below the right eye. A moment after the lead punctured the flesh and cracked the bone beneath the eye socket Otogi heard the sound of the gunshot and his eyes widened. He did not feel the impact of the bullet at all.
Kaiba stared at Otogi's staring eyes while the round lost its velocity tearing up through the skull.
Otogi was dead, but his eyes remained wide open, still registering the sound of the gunshot in the closed damp room.

The night air was brisk and cold, Rei, Malik, and Bakura were now proceeding through the arid darkness.
"So that's what this little scam is all about." Rei said laughing, "It's most interesting, I'd be glad to help!"
"Pfft." Bakura said rolling his eyes, he had long since made the decision that he didn't like Rei, and now she was beginning to get on his nerves.
"It's really a shame that the Otogi guy had to leave, he's going to miss a lot." Rei said pausing for a moment to take in a deep breath of air, "I mean he left so suddenly and all." Rei finished letting her voice trail off.
"He's been acting strangely all day, I wonder what's gotten in to him, he never really gets riled up." Malik commented.
"Eh...just forget about it." Bakura said, wanting to change the subject, and transferred his
gaze to the empty street.
"Right then...Anyway we are going to have to pay a visit to a friend of mine to get a few things that we'll be needing."
"And these few things would be?" Malik asked.
"Ah you know, the usual artillery, grenades, throwing knives and stars, revolvers, machine guns, a couple of Katanas for style, mebbe even a glaive or two."
"Sure..." Malik said in agreement.
"What?," Rei said, "we'll be needing guns...lots of guns... But never mind that! Do you have some sort of transportation? I've just got my ride, which is only fit for two."
Malik sighed and pulled his cell phone from his coat pocket, "I'll get a car over in a few minutes."

"What is it that you want from me Kaiba? Tell me quickly, I haven't the time to waste on Tourniquet scum like you!" Mariku said in a low menacing voice, and spat on the ground by Kaiba's feet.
"Oh no need to be hostile Mariku," Kaiba said, sensing the anger and annoyance that layered Mariku's voice, "I have a proposition that could prove to be most interesting."
