Yu-Gi-Oh Chapter 9
True Heart of the Monsters

With his back against the wall of the dead in Yugi found it hard to get his breath back all the while Ryou made his way closer holding the deck that he had just stolen. "I do want to thank you for the cards though. With these I'll be able to summon that red dragon and even take the throne." Ryou laughed Yugi managing to get his breath back slowly.

"I hate to tell you, but the only way they'll come out is if the user of the cards have the heart." Ryou laughed darkly as he pulled out the Celtic Guardian and summoned it with a few simple words causing Yugi to go speechless. The tomb robber only grinned from ear to ear. "I don't know where you're from, but here any monster can be summoned regardless of heart or not."

At the sword weilding elf stood over Yugi he started backing up against the wall as best he could, "Celtic Guardian attack!".

Closing his eyes as the sword started being aimed for his neck he thought his end was near, but started coughing as he got dust in his mouth. Quickly opening his purple eyes all he could see was the tomb robber on his side, and some creature holding the warrior type elf into the side of the building to his left. ".....Dark Magician...."

"Ryou I've had enough of your stealing from others, so it ends here!"

Yugi's eyes went completely wide as he heard the voice and looked above him to see some one that looked like Yami standing on the side of the roof. "Pharaoh Yami, what are you doing here!?"

"I'm here to get rid you." Yami demanded as Ryou only laughed slightly, "I don't think so pharaoh, this time I have the chance to destroy you." Holding out the card of Osiris for Yami's viewing Yugi gasped hoping that the dragon god couldn't be summoned. The crimson red bodied dragon appeared from it's card staring straight at Yami and Yugi growling as the monster known as Dark Magician appeared next to it from it's card. "A Dark Magician!?" Yami yelled seeing the two monsters staring at them his Dark Magician standing in front of the two humans protectively.

"Dark Magician and Osiris attack the Pharaoh and his little friend!" Flying forward the two monsters came to a stop and turned around to stare at Ryou, "What is going on?" he asked speechless and in fear.

"You stole the cards from this boy and his most trusted monsters will not betray their master no matter who controls them!" Yami yelled as he helped little Yugi to his feet. The Dark Magician's stood on either side of Osiris as they growled at the man as Yugi's Dark Magician brought the rest of the deck back to his friends hands as he and Osiris returned to their cards knowing they weren't needed at the time.

Yami's Dark Magician standing next to his master once again, "Ryou it is not time for you to die." was all the silky white haired teen heard before he lost sight of Yami and his look a like. Yami turned to look at Yugi and smiled, "I am sorry about that. His name is Ryou and is known as Tomb Robber to every one and is a pretty good theif."

Once again smiling Yugi shook it off shaking hands with the pharaoh being careful not to say anything until he was around every one else. "Pharaoh Yami, I have a request," Yami nodded his head ready to hear it. "Could you come with me so my friends can meet you?"

Thinking for a moment, he slowly agreed as Yugi showed his one time other side to the house they were all staying in. Joey was the first to his feet in surprise as Yugi walked in next to Yami. "I neva expected to see Yami and Yugi walkin next to each other." his statement causing Yami to look a little confused as Ishizu offered the pharaoh a seat. "I'll explain everything to you."

Taking a seat in front of the blue eyed woman he was going to listen carefully to make sure he got everything. "You are going to find this a little hard to believe, but all eight of us are from 5,000 years in the future. We we're brought here by a man name Marik, and rightfully we have no idea how to get home."

Yami who actually believed the story which surprised every one including Kaiba. "What about this Marik character?" he asked a little intent in finding out what they would do about him as well as this Reina they talked about. "Of course we planned on defeating them while we're here."

The pharaoh sighed, since he had met Yugi in the back alley he felt a good vibe coming from him, and knew he could trust his friends. "If you help defeat these characters I will do any and everything in my power to get you all back home." They all cheered with joy and even Kaiba gave a small smile which was rare.
