My computer is still down so I can't say much here since I'm using the library computer and have limited time but still, here's the next chapter. ^_^

and finally Kate Ryou.
Sorry I can' say more but like I said I have limited time. But fear not there will be more Bakura.
Last time on Realm Hearts:
"Duke." Pegasus sounded surprised and hurt, he stood and placed his hand on Dukes shoulder. "You are the nearest thing I have to a son. I'm sure Cecelia would understand me hanging around a bit more to look after you, now can you get back into control of this body so we can find out from Shadi what I we have to do now."
Duke sighed. "Fine, but if you hang around to long I'm going to have to start charging you rent."
Pegasus just laughed.

Marik and Bakura stood before Maleficent behind her something was moving in the shadows like an animal.
Bakura was worried although he had hidden it well and would never admit it to another soul. He had gone to Yami's cell, but Yami hadn't been there, all he had found was the part of the puzzle he had. Bakura had taken them and pocketed them. Now Bakura had a sinking feeling that he had found out what happened to Yami.
"My Dark Hearted friends. You have been waiting for me to send you somewhere, anywhere for you to have some 'fun' haven't you?"
Marik grinned, Bakura painted a smirk into his own face.
"I'm going to give you the ability to travel from world to world like my Heartless, I want you to take my new friend here..." The thing hidden in the darkness behind her growled. "...To Traverse Town."
Bakura's Smirk turned real, this is what he had been waiting for.

Mia Valentine was pacing the floor of the restaurant. This had to be some kind of nightmare. She wakes up the middle of the night with a weird blue and red triangle shaped stone next to her on the bed. Not being able to sleep she went for a walk. There had been this huge black shadow thing in the middle of the road and then there had been explosions, wind and the feeling of falling only it was falling up instead of down.
After that Mia had woken up behind some dumpsters. Those dumpsters had saved her life, zombie like abominations had been trying to reach her while she had been out cold. But they couldn't climb over. Gun shots had woken Mia ask a kid who called himself Duo had shot them and got her to the restaurant.
How he had known she was there or had expected her not to have a clue what was going on Mia didn't know, or care, all she cared about was the fact she was safe for the moment. Duo had said something about having to find some other lost ones. Whatever that meant. After a hour and a bit of pacing Mia heard the Shattering glass.
Mia snapped her head around to the ladies bathroom. That was where the noise came from. It was locked...wasn't it? Mia gulped. She ran to the kitchen, That's where the office would be wouldn't it? Though the kitchen at the back? Mia sighed in relief when she opened one of the doors in the kitchen to see what had to be the managers office. Going though the draws she found the keys marked bathrooms. There were for on the key-ring. Each were marked. PL, SL, PM, SM.
Mia guessed they meant Public Lady's, Staff Lady's and so on. She grabbed them and ran back to the front.
The handle to the lady's bathroom was now turning slightly. As if it was trying to be opened by someone/thing that didn't remember how. Mia looked at one of the chairs.
It works in the movies. Mia thought and grabbed the chair hitting it against the table hoping to brake it and use a leg for defence.
The table broke instead.
Whatever works. Mia walked to the rattling door table leg in one hand and keys in the other. Just pretend your Buffy the vampire slayer or something.
She edged forward to the door and managed to get the key into the lock. She was just about to check if the door was already locked or not when the door swung open. Mia's mind and body froze as zombies started shuffling, stumbling and crawling though the door. And they seconded they did they turned to her.
Oh hell.
She ran to the far side of the room, watching as ten came though the door and headed for her. She could see in the bathroom more trying to come in though the small window bit one Zombie was to big and was stuck.
That as when Mia realised just how slow the things were. Giving them a wide arc she ran past them back to the door. One fell over as it tried to grab her and started crawling unable to get back up. Mia knocked over tables and chairs trying to get more to fall. She slammed the door shut and locked it. Just a few seconds later she heard a slicking thud which probably meant the Zombie had fallen out of the window. She turned around to face the ones that had gotten in. Some of them had fallen over the upturned tables but they couldn't have been as...decomposed...as the first one as they were able to get back up. One of them was to close for comfort and Mia swung her table leg at it. It's head turned to the side from the force of the blow but then it just turned back to face her his jaws opening to take a bite out of her.
Suddenly there was a flash of flames and the smell of burning flesh. The zombie fell down to the ground dead.
Mia turned her head to the side to see a fifteen year old, red haired girl a silver sword, with a golden eye of Horus on the hilt in one hand, and smoke drifting up from her other out-held soot covered hand. Beside her was what looked like a Dark Elf.
The girls wide scared eye's turned into narrow determined ones as she gripped the sword with both hands and charged at the zombie closest to her. The Elf put her hands together and started canting. Mia thought she could feel static in the air. The girl decapitated one zombie just as thunder started to fall from the ceiling.

After a lot of talking everyone in Traverse Town were asleep. Save Mokuba. He couldn't sleep, he wanted his bother. Yugi had found his grandfather and mother, Joey had found his sister, Isis and Malik hadn't been separated so why did he have to be separated from Seto? The house was quiet save for Joey mumbling in his sleep, Mokuba couldn't make it out but it was ether Pie or Mai. Ether way he was happy. Solomon was snoring loudly. Yugi whimpered a little. Mokuba stood up he couldn't take it anymore. Everyone here was sleeping and his brother could be in really big trouble. Mokuba wanted Seto and he wanted him her now.
Mokuba knew he was working himself up, When Seto was worked up he would go out for some air, maybe that would help Mokuba too.
Forgetting about the Heartless Mokuba walked out the front door.
The door opening and closing woke Yugi. He looked around.
"Huh? Mokuba? Mokuba!"
"Yugi let a guy sleep huh?" Tristan asked rubbing sleep out of his eyes. "Yugi?"
Tristan turned around just in time to see Yugi running out of the house after Mokuba.
"Shit!" Tristan gasped and started walking up the others.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clare had agreed to help Seto and Andrew look for their younger siblings, She needed to look for Leon anyway. Sherry of course had to come with them, after all no where in the city was safe for her. She might have been able to hide from the Zombies but the Heartless were smaller, a lot of them could follow her anywhere even the air vents which had been her sanctuary. Seto had questioned bringing the girl with them but Andrew had calmly asked him if he would rather have Mokuba at his side, where he knew if the boy was okay or not, or hidden somewhere, where he could be safe.
That was when they had found the bodies. Inside a restaurant.
All zombies, Some had been burnt, some looked like they had been struck by lightening, more had been beheaded.
Clare covered her mouth with her hand, Sherry buried her face in Claire's side. Seto clenched his jaw and looked a little paler.
Andrew just stared, he had seen a something like this before, in a past life.
...'Andrew' ran though the city, other guards and even some of the priests behind him. Anhai and Yami had decided to sneak out of the place again. However something had gone wrong. Yami was still young but he had already been given the puzzle by his father. And everyone had seen two monsters being summoned from the temple of tablets. They found the ally where Anhai and the Prince were.
There were dead bandits everywhere. Most had been killed by the Dark Elf, Some had attacked the Mystic Elf whom had been defending Yami and Anhai, and some had been killed by a sword. The sword that Anhai had picked up and attacked with to defend herself and best friend as Yami had summoned. The Elves and Prince looked at Anhai not sure what to do for the little girl who had dropped the Bandits swords and was just...staring...at her red stained hands...
"An!" Andrew called. He knew, just knew Anhai had done this and now An would be going though what Anhai had gone though all those thousand of years ago.
There was a girls bathroom and Andrew reached for it and stopped at the last moment. Something felt wrong about the room, He walked into the boys.
And there was An.
Washing her hands savagely in the sink. A blond woman dressed in purple PVC was rubbing her back. Dark Elf was there too, She had cleaned the Sword that Anhai had used and was now leaning by the door, She nodded to Andrew but otherwise she was a statue. He wondered where An had gotten a sword, or the new clothes that were clearly more Anhai's tastes than An's, but that could wait until Andrew had seen to his sister.
"I...I can't get the blood off.." An was saying.
"Shh it's okay." The Blond said in a kind but unsure voice. "They're clean it's okay."
Andrew swallowed they weren't clean in An's eyes.
"An."
The Blond snapped her head around.
"What are you doing here can't you see this is...."The woman trailed off.
"Er this is the men's room not the lady's miss." Andrew said before he got knocked backwards by a red haired blur barrelling into him.
"Your okay!" An cried. "I was so scared...those men...those things...were everywhere and I couldn't find you, and they were everywhere and the Heartless are here too and...and..."
"Shh it's okay...you had no choice. They were already dead..." Andrew said smoothing his hand over An's hair to calm her. He and Anhai were going to have a long talk after.
"Don't take this the wrong way but who are you?" The Blond asked.
"I'm Andrew, An's brother. And you?"
"Mia Valentine." The blond answered.
An gasped. "Your the Mia Valentine, The number one female Duellist!"
"You mean you guys actually know who I am, I thought I was the only one from my world here can someone explain what is going on? Duo tried but he went tight over my head." Mia sighed "And I though Battle City was bizarre."
Andrew smirked he had heard about Battle City. Andrew was still holding An in his arms when suddenly Andrew slipped on some wet. Probably water but he feel like checking if it was that or blood. Andrew slipped backwards though the door, with An Sitting on him. Andrew's eyes went wide, he could see what was going to happen next.
"Don't Shoot! DON'T SHOOT!" He shouted sitting up as fast as he could to shield An.
Of course it had been to late. Clare had seen Andrew fall though the door with a body on top of him and a lot of red, and she fired her gun.
An screamed.
Andrew groaned in pain. He had been shot.
Dark Elf knelt by her masters brother. No one noticed one zombie, slightly charred by a lightening bolt that had just missed, move...
"Can you do anything?" An asked.
The Zombie was dragging itself along the ground to Mia's ankle...
Dark shook her head. "I don't have the power to heal."
Closer, closer, the Zombie's cold fingers and yellowing teeth reached for the pale skin of Mia's leg...
"You have to be able to do something! You called down all that Lightening! And ..."
The sound of a bullet cut though the air and An's shouting.
The Zombie fell still having been killed. Again.
"Honestly Mia can't I leave you alone for two hours?" Came a young voice.
"Claire? Sherry? What are you doing here?" Came an older one.
The group turned to see a young man who was maybe fifteen with long brown hair which was pulled back into a braid, and a man with short red hair wearing a police Rookie's uniform.
"Leon!" Claire said happily. Her face then fell when a dark haired Asian woman in a red dress and leggings appeared though the door after him.
"Where the hell were you Duo!" Mia complained. "Those thinks broke in though the window in the Lady's I locked most of them in there but that didn't stop nearly ten of them having me for dinner, if it wasn't for An here!"
"Tipical, I go all though the city looking for those three and you come here." Dou sighed smirking. "I should have just stayed her and kicked back and got some sleep."
"Never mind that can any of you help my brother?" An asked looking up with tears in her eyes.
Leon knelt next to the pair and took a look, when he pulled back some of Andrew's top he hissed in pain.
"Sorry." Leon said as he lifted Andrew up to look at the other side of his shoulder.
"Will he be okay?" An asked.
"Sure...ah...I will An." Andrew said though clenched teeth. "Hurts like a bitch though."
Leon nodded.
"The bullet when right though and the wound looks clean so he shouldn't be infected, if we can just find some clean, medical supplies to treat him with he should be fine in a few weeks."
Clare breathed a sigh of relief.
A bleeping made everyone turn to Dou suddenly. He pulled what looked alike a radio out of his pocket.
"Maxwell here."
"Dou Weufei is here, he couldn't stop the Heartless from getting to the keyhole of this world. We have to get off this world before it's lost completely."
"Hero have you been off the Gummy ship yet? This world is a loss anyway."
"Yes I have, Wuefi was to bady hurt to get back himself, now get back here."
Dou sighed.
"You'd better come with me unless well you don't want to think of the unless."
"What about my brother."
Dou looked from Seto to Claire they had spoken at the same time. He turned to Seto first.
"Your brother isn't here, your four here are the only one's here from your world."
"What about mine?" Clare asked. "And what's all this stuff about other worlds?"
"Well..." Dou rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. "I shouldn't really be telling you this..."
"The Heartless, those strange black shadows that have shown up recently along with the zombies, they come from another world and want to draw all the other worlds into darkness, they are drawn by the darkness in peoples hearts."
Everyone just stared at Leon.
"How did you know that?"
"I told them." Said the Asian looking woman in the red dress.
"And you are?" Seto asked.
"I'm Ada. The people I work for were studying the Heartless." She answered.
"And you believe this?" Clare asked.
"If she had told me before I found this." Leon head up a book. "I wouldn't have, but here you read it."
Claire caught the book Leon had caught. It was a diary.
Finally we have managed to get information on Umbrella that will expose them and end the threat of the T-Virus. I should be happy. However, as soon as one problem is solved others arise. Umbrella had been studying some kind of alien life form. As imposable as it may seem. The research notes Jill stole show that these things have to be stopped now, Jill Rebecca and I are going now, Brad and Barry are staying to see if they can do any good here, Personly I think Brad is staying because he's to scared of trying out the strange looking 'gummy ship' Jill stole from Umbrella, and Barry wants to stay with his family, just hope my family can forgive me. Clare if you end up reading this some how, I'm sorry.
Chris.
Clare looked up from the book. "I'm coming with you."
"In that case so am I." Sherry added.
Dou opened his mouth to argue when the sound of shattering glass could be heard again, this time from another room.
"Fine come with me."
Dou lead the way out. An and Mai moved to help Andrew to his feet when Dark Elf picked him up like a baby.
"Don't worry Mistress. I will not allow him to be hurt again."
"Thank you, he's the only family I have, He's...important to me." An said wiping tears from her eyes.
You have no idea how important he is. Dark Elf thought to herself.

Shadi had been dosing. His head resting against the stone wall of his cell. Duke laying on one side and Hikari no Ryou on the other side of the room. He thought he heard something and opened his eyes completely and gasped when he saw the pool of darkness gather around Hikari no Ryou. He scrambled forward as fast as he could but it was no good he had fallen into the shadow puddle his hand just missing him by a breath.
The ground turned solid again and Shadi frowned. Did someone just save the boy, or send him to a worse fate?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solomon waited at the widow waiting for news of Yugi and Mokuba. Joey Tristan and Tea came back in.
"Any news?"
The three shook their heads.
"No, but we did notice something odd." Tristan said.
"What?"
"Well the Heartless attacked. Yuffie and Cid was having problems looking after all of us as we looked, but then we noticed, they were only going after Tea Joey and me, they weren't going after Malik or Isis."
"So what does that mean?" Yugi's mother asked.
Joey and Tea sat down, Joey seemed to be in a bad mood since he had been sent here instead of being allowed to keep looking for Yugi and Mokuba. Tristan lent against the back of the door taking a breath before answering the woman's question.
"Well when Cid and Yuffie got us to district one so we could catch out breath before looking fro Yugi and Mokuba again, we asked what the heartless actually go after since they left the Ishar's alone and Cid said they were drawn to the darkness of someone's heart and there's darkness in every heart, and well, we know Malik's a Hikari, and if we assume that Isis is one two them Yugi will be okay because he is a Hikari too and that Egyptian guy said that Mokuba is one too, so the heartless are probably leaving them alone."
Solomon nodded understanding but Yugi's mother looked confused.
"Tristan?"
"Yes Mrs Moto?"
"What's a Hikari?"
"Er..." Tristan looked to Joey and Tea for help. They looked to Solomon, who looked a bit like a deer in headlights.
"Er...well...remember that puzzle I gave Yugi...?"
"Yeah?"
Solomon was saved by what sounded like a LOT of magic attacks being thrown about out side.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mokuba was sitting in the back ally. Looking into the water. He wasn't crying. He wasn't. Drops of water fell from Mokuba's cheeks in too the water he was gazing at. He wasn't crying Kaiba's don't cry. Seto wouldn't cry.
"Mokuba?"
Mokuba looked over his shoulder to see a worried looking Yugi. He turned back sniffing but didn't say anything.
"You miss Seto right?"
Mokuba didn't answer. Yugi walked up to Mokuba and sat next to him. "Worried."
Mokuba sniffed again. "Yeah."
"I miss my Yami too." Yugi said looking down into the water too. Mokuba could see that Yugi wanted to cry too but he hadn't seemed that way before. "I worry if he's okay, if he's worrying about me, if he's looking for me, and then I feel guilty because, I should be looking for him, and I shouldn't have let us get separated anyway."
Mokuba played with the edge of his top, that was just how he was feeling.
"But then I think how annoyed he'd be if he found out I had been worrying my self sick about him or if I had risked myself to find him." Yugi smiled weakly. "I know he'll find me, and Seto will find you too, so it's going to be okay."
Mokuba smiled and hugged Yugi. "Thank you."
Yugi smiled and hugged back. "Come one I think we better get back, we must have woken up someone when we ran out."
Yugi and Mokuba looked up when they suddenly heard a sinister and even worse, familiar laugh.
"Isn't that sweet."
Mokuba was frozen in place but he could still see the pool of water before him and as well as his refection he could see the reflection of the back of the hotel behind them, and standing on one of the balconies was Yami no Malik.

Next time on Realm Hearts:
Yugi looked over his shoulder, it was a long way down.
"Yami, please it's me, Yugi...don't do this."
Bakura was leaning against the wall by the bell.
"Yugi, that isn't Yami anymore, he can't hear your words." He said. "Yami, attack Yugi, kill him."
Yugi looked from Yami Bakura to what was once Yami Yugi. Yami would never hurt him would he?
With an inhuman growl Yami lunged at his Hikari.
Well there you go I hope you liked it an leave me a review? Please?
