C.A.: Wow 7 reviews! thank you thank you thank you!
Mokuba: She gets like this sometimes sorry. And she owns nothing and no one save for An/Anhai and Andrew.
C.A.: *Glares at Mokuba. Who just shrugs*
Teasersp Here's the next chapter although the story is queue jumping. I should be updating another story. But hey I bet your not complaining right? You get to find out what happens next. And I'll try to keep the chapters this length.
Steeple333 I'm glad you like the story but I'm afraid I'm keeping the long chapters sorry, More people voted for them.
Rey Don't worry there will be more Bakura, It's going to take a chapter or to before I really get to work on him though. I got to many characters to keep track of. O_O Oh if there are any spelling mistakes blame my spell checker it's said this chapter's okay.
Lavender Wonder Sora makes a cameo in this chapter and I hope to give him a bigger role later. Glad you like the length I'm trying to keep them the this long. As for if Duke and Pegasus live or not....you'll find out in this chapter.
ShadowFire LOL Yeah that was my reaction when I found out about Yugi's mother too, She was cut from the show because she kept worrying about Yugi talking to himself. But I read that in the episode were Yugi gets Solomon out of the hospital the woman standing next to him with red hair is his mother. (We were meant to think she was a nurse.)
Penny :Angel of Darkest Dreams Yeah this story does start out in a bad spot doesn't it? And you just know thinks are going to get worse before it gets better. After all it is me writing this. ^_^
Demon of Angels Oops, Yeah this story has no connection to 'White Metals' An and Andrew were never adopted and Andrew started looking after An once he was old enough to leave the orphanage. They Haven't met the others yet. And An's powers are slightly different. O_O Your going to read EVERYTHING I write? Hope you don't mind Yaoi. I don't think it will appear in this story but it will in others, I do use warnings though so if you don't you should be safe. ^_^
Now lets get this second chapter on the road huh?

Last time on Realm Hearts:
Shadi sighed. It was plain to see how much Pegasus wanted to join his wife.
"You know how you got here?" He asked.
Pegasus nodded. "How's Duke."
"He's dieing." Shadi answered "And so are you."
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
Yu-Gi-Oh!--Realm Hearts--Chapter Two -- Another World Bites The Dust.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
Pegasus's eye widened and he looked at the Millennium eye in Shadi's hand. "If you are going to offer me life with that don't bother give it to Duke instead."
"Pegasus."
"I mean it Shadi. That boy is the closest thing, the only thing I have for a son."
"Pegasus I can't save you. You are to close to death. But the Eye won't let your sprit go. You are bound to it." Shadi said. "I've looked in on the boy before coming here, he won't survive this but he is better off than you the eye can still help him. But a dark time is coming. All the items need two masters. The Severn Trinities of Item Hikari and Yami must be completed."
Pegasus's eye widened.
"You want to seal me in the eye. Like the spirits in the Puzzle and the Ring?"
Shadi nodded.
"If I do this will you be able to save Duke?"
"That is what I intend to do but there is a chance it won't work."
Pegasus closed his eye for a moment and took a deep breath. "Do it."
Shadi nodded again. "Very well but I warn you this will hurt."
Pegasus nodded. "I guessed it would. What about that blue-green stone I had one me? I found it after the dream."
"I have it and I'll give it to the boy."
"Okay enough stalling." Pegasus said. "Lets get this over with. I just hope...Cecelia will wait for me a little longer."
A few seconds later Shadi saw doctors and nurses running down the corridor to Pegasus's room. The monitors were screeching in a ear splitting scream showing that the heart had stopped beating and all brain functions had ceased. But that wasn't what had made Shadi's face pale. It was the scream that only he had heard in Pegasus's head as he had been sealed into the eye that had done that.
Shadi kept walking towards Duke room. He locked the door as he entered. Duke wasn't much better off than Pegasus. He to was connected to tubes and monitors. His ribs were bandaged as were one of his arms, the other was in a cast. He was covered from the waist down by the blanket but it looked like is right leg was in a cast too. Shadi looked at Dukes face, half of it was covered in bandage. Shadi had already checked the records earlier. Duke had lost his eye. Shadi started to slowly remove the bandages on his face. Underneath wasn't pretty. It looked like glass from one of the windows had lacerated his face. Shadi held the Millennium Eye over the now empty socket.
/Pegasus/ Shadi called to the new spirit of the eye. /I know your probably in pain but you have to concentrate on healing. Otherwise your chosen heir won't survive./
Shadi felt a wave of pain from the eye before Pegasus managed to send him a quiet accent. He was ready. The eye started to glow and Shadi pushed it into Dukes head. As Shadi did so the Ankh around his neck. Between the power of both items his face healed until the skin was just bruised and red, his broken arm and leg healed and the monitors showed him getting stronger.
Duke Devlin holder of the Millennium Eye opened his remaining human eye. He tried to sit up but winced in pain.
"Man what it me?" He asked. "Who are you?"
"You were in a car crash do you remember?" Shadi asked.
"No...I remember I was going to see Pegasus...no wait I was with him in his car but I don't remember a crash." Duke said. "Is he okay?"
"It's complicated and we don't have time to explain it now. Can you get up and walk?"
"I think so..."
"Take this and follow me." Shadi tossed Duke the blue-green stone that Pegasus had mentioned.
"Wait a second..." Duke said the Millennium eye sparked as he looked at the stone. "There's something in here I can see her...the Toon Red Archery Girl?"
Shadi looked at Duke, he had noticed the energy in the stone but he hadn't realised that it was one of Pegasus's toon monsters. Eye still glowing he looked at Shadi.
"Hey there's something wrong here. Why can I see a monster in this stone and why can I see..."
Shadi pointed at the window. It was dark out side still though the sun should have started to rise, and the glass seemed like a mirror. Duke saw his new eye.
"What the hell!" Duke waved his hand over the metal eye. "I...I can still see out of it...!" [1]
"Duke please we have no time." Shadi said. "I have to get you to the other item holders."
Duke was now looking at the rest of him. The bandages and casts.
"Okay I know I feel like crap but I don't feel as bad as I look..." He said to him.
"That's because the eye and I healed your partly now can you walk?" Shadi demanded.
Duke looked up. "No... you listen here I want..."
Duke suddenly looked like he had fallen asleep sitting up. His eye closed and when it reopened instead of being green it was brown and his hair stuck up a little and looked more grey than black now. It was as if it was trying to be white.
"Sorry Shadi." Pegasus said having taken over Dukes body. "He doesn't understand. I guess we should get going then?"
Shadi nodded as Pegasus/Duke got out of the bed. He gripped the edge hard.
"I hope we don't have to walk very far, the cast makes it's hard and Duke, I, am still in a lot of pain."
"No it won't be far and I'm sure we can get the holder of the rod to cut the casts off once we get there."
"Okay then." Pegasus said taking hold of Shadi's hand the pair of them sunk into the floor.

Dark Magician girl held her hands before her. Her staff was glowing with a white light sweat was beading on her forehead.
"I wish teacher-sama was here. He could do this easy." She muttered before sighing opened her hands and let her hands dropped down to her lap.
"I'm sure that Shadi guy wouldn't have asked you to do this if you couldn't." Andrew said.
"Thank you."
"Hey what's your name anyway? Dark Magician girl is a mouth full."
"Mana." [2] She answered. "Maybe it will help if we were closer to the Pharaoh."
Mana held her hand out to Andrew he took it and with a flash of white light they found themselves across the road from the park. They could see smoke coming from on part of the park but Andrew couldn't see where it was coming from. Closer to them there was a group of teens. Mana started muttering under her breath. Her staff started glowing again and this time a white light came from it, it shot right though Andrew and passed across the street. Where it went though each of the others then onwards to the source of the smoke and on wards after that even if it was now out of their sight. It would eventually pass though everyone Yugi knew. Whether he knew them for good or bad reasons. Mana then collapsed against Andrew.
"Mana!" Andrew gasped. He shook her but there was no response. He looked across the road and saw the other people looking for the source of the light that had 'attacked' them. A hand grabbed them and pulled Mana and Andrew into a dark ally stopping them from being seen.
"What are you two doing here?"
Andrew turned to see Anhai. There was soot on her hands and a nasty scratch on her cheek. Her breath was a little to much like gasping for his liking.
"Anhai what happened?" Andrew asked as Anhai gulped down air until she could breath again.
"What this? Nothing compared to what's coming but what are you doing here?"
"Mana said she needed to get closer to the Pharaoh for her magic to work." Andrew said. "What now though?"
Anhai sighed. "Look to the east."
Andrew looked but there was no sun rising. It was a black orb with a purple fire in it's centre.
"We can't stop this world being destroyed...but the chosen..."
"The chosen one again? That's all I ever hear around here."
Anahi shook her head. "No, the chosen ones It will take many of us to reverse what will happen. But we will. We'll all have a roll. We just don't know how important each of us will be yet." Anhai said. She took Andrews hand again and dragged him over to the others he had seen the light strike...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just after Malik had asked everyone if they could start moving Isis looked around. She could have sworn she had felt someone come a lot closer. As if they were only across the road but is was too dark for her to look. She didn't know who they were but she just knew they were there. Suddenly a stream of light struck and passed though every member of the group. Herself, Malik, Yugi, Ryou, Mokuba, Seto, Tea, Tristan, Joey and passed on. Isis frowned. Why didn't it strike Milo?
The light kept going heading towards where they had left Anhai fighting the strange shadows. Shortly after wards the smoke from her fire magic stopped.
"Look at the sun!" Mokuba suddenly shouted. Everyone looked at what should have been the sun rising but instead was a black orb. That was in my dream I think...Why is Milo smiling.
"What is that thing." Joey asked.
"Darkness." Milo said. "Surly your not afraid of the dark are you?"
Everyone turned to Milo, something was very wrong with the way she was talking, and her smile reminded them of Marik. Joey Tea and Tristan backed away from her. Bakura took over Ryou and looked ready to attack her. Even Yugi took a step back. Yami ready to take over and attack the girl even if she was Yugi's friend.
Darkness even darker than the sunless morning around them pooled at her feet. She took hold of Bakura's arm since she had been standing next to him, and the darkness took solid form twisting and winding around them like vines.
"Join us." She said. Looking at each of them in turn. The Rod and the Puzzle glowed.
Seto felt a pull towards the darkness and actually took a step forward before Mokuba grabbed him around the waist. "Seto don't go!"
Seto shook his head, what had he been thinking! He stepped back though he could still feel the pull he ignored it.
The Rod flew out of Marik's hand towards Milo who caught it. The Puzzle was pulling on it's chain towards Milo.
/Yami!/ Yugi cried feeling yami being pulled away from him.
/Yugi...I can't stop it!/ Yami actually sounded scared.
Yugi gabbed hold of the puzzle with his hands. The pull was so strong that it actually started to drag Yugi towards the Darkness around Milo the others of the group ether grabbed Yugi himself of the Puzzle to try and stop it but the two pulling forces started to pull the puzzle apart. Parts falling into the pool of darkness some staying attached to the chain around Yugi's neck but still the pull kept going. Joey let got of Yugi to grab the part of the puzzle which had the eye marked on it. A blast of fire struck Milo she growled at Anhai who was the one who had shot at her. Her hair was waving as if caught in a strong wind thought the air was still.
"You will not harm the Pharaoh's light!" She shouted. "Go and crawl under your rock traitor!"
"Your too late Shadow Guard This world is now belongs to the Heartless!" Milo said before she vanished in a flash of darkness.
Yugi feel to his knees. "He's gone...gone..."
Lady of Faith done much the same thing crying for Bakura and Ryou. Kuriboh sat on Yugi's shoulder patting Yugi's head.
"I'm sorry Yugi I was too late." Anhai said slightly short of breath.
Isis looked at the who were with Anhai now. One was Dark Magician Girl and she was being carried by another...
He looked up and brown eyes locked on blue. The Millennium Necklace which she had given to Yugi flashed making it's prescience in Yugi's pocket known.
"Er...Yugi maybe you should give the Necklace back to Isis." Anhai said
Yugi didn't seem to hear her. Anhai didn't have the heart to ask again. She sighed. She didn't know what to do she was no leader, and where was Shadi he could have been back by now. The ground started to shudder. Yugi started crawling around picking up the puzzle pieces which hadn't been taken by Milo.
"Help him we have to get out of here!" Anhai ordered. "Damn where's a sword when I need one."
Andrew gently placed Mana on the ground Isis knelt by the unconscious monster. While Andrew picked up some of the puzzle pieces and started passing them to Yugi. He stopped when he saw something moving further down the road.
From down the road a huge shadow could be seen. Yellow eyes burned and there was a heart shaped hole in it's body.
Fire burned in Anhai's hand. There was no one here who could fight that thing...no one here had any weapons...wait a moment.
Anhai looked at the heartbroken lady of faith and Kuriboh.
"We have to stop this thing. Lady of Faith, Kuriboh can you help?" Anhai asked. "I don't think I can do it other wise."
Lady Of Faith looked at Anhai and sneered.
"Please, Shadow Guard. Before you may have been strong warrior worthy of your title, but now..." Lady Of Faith laughed bitterly. "I can sense the weaknesses of your new body. Your Hikari. The weakness in your chest. tell me how can you fight when sometimes you can't even breath Asthmatic?"
"At least she is willing to try rather that just kneel on the ground crying like you are!" Andrew snapped.
"Andrew that's enough." Anhai said. "Yeah I have asthma. But I am still the Shadow Guard, and I will fight."
"Fine I'll fight." Lady Of Faith snarled. "But you stay out of this one, don't want to wear your Hikari's body out do you?"
Kuriboh growled at Lady of Faith before flying at the giant Heartless. He glowed and multiplied as it done so.
Lady Of Faith blasted it with Green fire and the Kuriboh's just charged at the thing exploding on contact.
"Where's Shadi and Duke and Pegasus they should be here." Anhai muttered. "Andrew stay here, I'm going to look for them."
"Anhai!" Andrew shouted as his little sister ran of into the darkness.
At the sound of more explosions the group turned back to the monsters only to be half blinded by light and feeling as if they were falling, only the weren't falling down...but up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mmmmm." A voice said. "This world put up more of a fight then we expected."
"But it was worth it wasn't it?" Milo asked.
"Of course little one, We failed to get the seven Princesses but there is another way to open the door."
"How?"
"This world has Seven Trinities of an Item a soul of light and a soul of darkness. They are known as
The trinity of the Leader, the trinity of the Thief, the trinity of the Warrior, the trinity if the Advisor,
the trinity of the Protector, the trinity of Judgment and the trinity of the Seer." Said the voice. "My Heartless got us the Trinity of the Seer and part of the Trinity of the Protector, but you my darling. You got is the Trinity of the Thief, Part of the Trinity of the Warrior and lets not forget. Half of the Trinity of Leadership. With the Pharaoh and half of his puzzle in our hands it's only a matter of time before we get the rest..."
Someone had been hiding in the shadows, She had long purple hair and dark tanned skin. She waited for the two voices to fade altogether before she summoned a Magical Box. She stepped in and the swords stabbed in though the holes, the box them opened. A dead Heartless dressed in desert clothes and holding a sword fell out. Disappearing into dark smoke as if fell to the floor.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yugi opened his eyes. He looked around in confusion. He had been living a nightmare and then had a vision? He pulled the Millennium Necklace out of his pocket. Maybe he should give the Necklace back to Isis, if that Vision was right she'll probably need it. He looked around there was no one around but he could see puppies. At least ten in just that one room. And Kuriboh was sitting on the end of the bed. There was one adult dog too. A Dalmatian like the puppies. He saw that Yugi was awake he left the room. A few moments later it came back with Joey and Tristan in tow.
"Yugi your awake!" Joey shouted.
At that everyone else came in. Dark Magician Girl, Tea, Mokuba, Isis, and Malik.
"Where are those other two?" Yugi asked. "An and her brother?"
"Anhai went to look for Shadi. I don't know what happened to Andrew or Seto. They were there when the monsters defeated the Darkside but they weren't here when we woke up." Tristan said.
"Darkside?" Yugi asked getting up and walked into the living room with the others.
"That was the name of the thing that Lady Of Faith and Kuriboh fought." Isis explained.
"So where are we?" Yugi asked.
"I don't know, every time Joey Tristan and I risk going out side more heartless appear." Marik complained.
"And every time we kill them more appear" Joey added punching the wall.
The door opened and a kid who had spiky brown hair holding a giant key in one hand and a Dalmatian puppy in one walked in followed by a human like Duck with what looked like a hammer with wings and another puppy and a taller human like dog with a shield and again a Dalmatian puppy.
"Oh." Said the Boy. "We were just returning these three to Pongo and Perdi. We didn't think anyone else lived here..."
"Gauwsh you look just like the old man in District three." Said the tall human like dog.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few minuets earlier....
In the third district of Traverse Town another pair of violet eyes opened. He sat up in the bed and looked around. The house he was in looked like it had been used for nothing but storage for a long time but a half decent job had been done trying to make it homey. There was a table with some chairs and sleeping in one chair with here head resting on the table was his daughter in law.
"Daughter?"
The woman woke up and looked around with tried eyes.
"Your awake!" She rushed over and hugged him. "Grandpa I was worried you would never wake up!"
From out side there was the sound of thunder, it came again before a lady with long brown hair which was tied back and wearing a pink dress walked in.
"Oh Mr Moto your awake." She said.
"Yes Aeris." Mrs Moto answered instead. "Isn't it great!"
"Is this your house Miss?" Solomon asked.
Aeris shook her head. "No it belongs to a friend of mine who spends all his time in the first District, we hardly ever use the house to live in, just to meet up when we need to."
"First District? Where are we?" Solomon asked noticing as he did his daughter in law's smile faltering.
"I'm sorry Mr Moto, your in another world, your home has been destroyed, and we haven't found any more survivors from your world. Save for a young girl called Serenity Wheeler." Aeris said. "She's staying with Me and my friend Yuffie."
Solomon nodded. "I see."
Yugi's mother started crying. Solomon blinked and looked at her kindly.
"There there, I'm sure Yugi is still alive. He just ended up somewhere else." Solomon told her.
His daughter in law just looked at him with sad eyes. He knew she thought he was deluding himself making himself believe that Yugi was alive when all evidence pointed to otherwise. But Solomon had a sources she didn't. Yugi's friends had told him how they had felt Yugi in trouble in the shadow realm at Duellist Kingdom, But Solomon had known Yugi and Yami longer and spent much more time with him that his mother who was always off on trips. He had a connection to the boy to, and that connection was still there Solomon knew Yugi was still alive and that was all the proof he needed.
"So Miss Aries, do you know how we three alone survived the destruction of our world?" Solomon asked.
"We were hoping you would know that. You all appeared in a blast of gold and white light."
"Gold you say?" Solomon you asked.
"Yes Gold and white Sir."
Gold, so our surviving must have something to do with Yami. So where is he and Yugi?
Before Solomon could open his mouth he heard what might have been more lightening shattering glass or maybe Ice, and a very angry duck?
Three 'people' walked in. Each of them carrying a puppy.
"Hello Sora, Donald, Goofy." Aeris said. "If your looking for Leon he's gone back to the underground cavern to practice for a while, but I think you should take those puppy's back to the Dalmatians house first."
"Okay Aeris." Sora said. "Who are the newbes?"
"I'm Solomon Moto and this is my Daughter in law." Solomon answered.
"Nice to meet you, well I guess I should be going." Sora said waving.
Not to much later he was back. There was a lot more noise this time. Solomon and Yugi's mother watched wide eyed at all the people who came into the house.
Malik and Isis Ishtar, Mokuba, Joey, Tristan ,Tea, then the Dark Magician Girl, Lady Of Faith and finally Yugi with Kuriboh sitting on his head, just where the blond bangs ended and the black on red hair started. Sora was last.
"See I told you." He said to Yugi. "I'd like to stick around but it's a little crowded here."
Sora grinned as he left.
"Mom! Grandpa!" Yugi shouted and ran first to his mother, who was closer and then Solomon.
Solomon smiled and ruffed his grandsons hair and then Kuriboh's. "I see someone thinks your head is a comfortable perch."
Yugi made a face at that comment. It was then that Solomon noticed that the Puzzle around his neck was broken.
"Yugi?"
"It's okay." Yugi said some of the joy in his eyes dieing. "I've some of the pieces in my backpack, and I'll find the others too."
Solomon nodded, not wanting to talk to much about the puzzle around Aeris and Yugi's mother since they wouldn't understand.
"Aeris." Yugi said. "Maybe You should go and get that young lady you found."
Aeris nodded and a while later Joey had a shock.
"SERENITY!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Red eyes opened as an unforgiving desert sun shone in them. The owner of the eyes moaned and rolled over.
"Good your alive I was worried for a while."
An looked towards the sound of the voice. Her head hurt and the room was spinning but it looked like...
"Andrew?"
"No...I'm Aladdin."
An blinked a few times. She still couldn't see this 'Aladdin' clearly but his hair was defiantly black, to dark to have been Andrews.
"What happened?"
"I saw a flash of light in the Desert last night, I flew out here on Carpet to see what it was and found you." Aladdin explained. "I wasn't sure if you would make it. The Heartless were attacking you and seemed to be having problems breathing."
An searched her memories, she didn't remember any of it and Anhai was still asleep. "Where am I now?"
"Still in the Desert, I didn't want to risk moving you. You think you can sit up?"
An did but paid for it with a sharpening of the pain in her head. " Uh... I think one of the Heartless hit me too hard on the head."
Aladdin sighed, and An heard a rustle of cloth and a monkey? "Alright Abu we're going already."
An startled when Aladdin picked her up.
/An? What's wrong?/ Came the exhausted mental voice of Anhai.
/Nothing I'm safe, go back to sleep I'll probably be joining you in no time./
Anhai was so tired that she didn't even answer before falling back into oblivion.
"Aladdin?" An asked as the man lay An back down on what felt like a carpet. "Do you mind if I pass out?"
"To be honest I thought you already had, you didn't answer when I asked you your name." Aladdin said.
"It's An." An answered before joining Anhai in slumber. Which was a shame, She missed the ride on carpet back to Argraba.

[1] It's a magical item so why wouldn't Duke be able to see out of it?
[2] That really is her name, it's in the manga when everyone gets to Ancient Egypt.
Next time on Realm Hearts:
"You don't know what happened or how you ended up on the roof next to a burning helicopter?"
What am I meant to say? That I came from another world? Seto thought. "No, maybe I was on the helicopter? Have you seen a boy, about the same age as that girl, Long back hair, answers to the name of Mokuba when he feels like it."
"No, sorry." Clare answered then she realised what else Kaiba had said. "You can fly a helicopter?"
Kaiba nodded.
A moan came from behind Seto and Clare levelled her gun at the other teenager as he opened his eyes and sat up rubbing the palm of his hand in one eye. It wasn't until he pulled his hand away did he see Claire and the gun.
"Er...why have you got a gun pointed at me? And just where are we?" Andrew asked.
Claire and Sherry sighed will relief.
"I don't think your going to like your stay here, but welcome to Raccoon City, city of the dead."
