"Hey Kari, are you allright there?"asked T.K.

Kari and T.K met up after T.K slept in until nearly 12:PM.

"I'm fine, just tired I guess. Haven't been getting too much sleep lately"said Kari.

They were at a ice cream place, just near the beach. The ocean usualy looked beautiful, however now it made her cringe.

"Why? Bad dreams?"asked T.K.

Gatomon and Patamon were slirping down their ice cream from within the bag Kari brought with her.

"Yeah, but I rather not talk about'em"said Kari.

Before T.K could respond, the pair covered their ears as a loud motorcycle was riding towards the beach. They were glad when the motorbike parked.

"Man, I wish they didn't make those things so loud"said T.K.

T.K and Kari went back to their conversastion, unaware 2 robed men stood on the beach. One was tall, a lot bigger then Shaq, or Michael Jordan. Half of his face was scared. The other one was shorter, his face more concealed but still seeable.

"Why are we here master?"asked the tall one.

"Well I need to talk to someone, and you're the only one I can trust with what I'm about to tell you. Swear to me on the Isthar name you won't repeat this to anyone"said the smaller one.

"If you don't want me to speak of it to others, then I shall not. But tell me, what is troubiling you so?"asked the taller one.

"In my dreams I've seen some weird things"he said.

"Ah, the dreams. Tell me, what are these dreams like. They must be bad if I had to come wake you up from them"said the tall one.

"They are Rashid. Before I tell you, could you get us some drinks?"asked the smaller one.

"Of course master Malik"said Rashid walking up.

Rashid just walked right through Kari and T.K, knocking them back.

"Hey, watch it!"said T.K.

Rashid ignored him and walked up to the man at the stand.

"Isn't it a little hot for the robe?"he asked.

"What do you have to drink?"asked Rashid ignoring the last remark.

Kari couldn't put her finger on it, but she sensed something from the robed figure. His presence, it felt so familiar.

"We have Pepsi, Sprite, Mountain Dew and Coca Cola. Which one do you want?"asked the man.

"Wait here"said Rashid walking off, again just walking through T.K and Kari.

"Master Malik, they have-

"Anything will do"said Malik.

Rashid walked back up, agan just shoving his way through T.K and Kari.

"What is your problem! Huh? Awnser me!"said T.K.

Malik waited, staring at the ocean.

"It's hard to believe 7 years ago I never even stepped out into the outdoors. One would think I would be more apreciative of it. Not today though"thought Malik.

Malik could see his Rod glowing from behind the robe.

"My Millenium Rod! It's glowing, but why?!"thought Malik.

All of a sudden he could see the ocean becoming Black and White.

"No, NO!"

"Man, what a jerk that guy is"said T.K.

Kari gasped as she saw the ocean turning Black and White.

"Kari, Kari what's wrong!"gasped T.K.

Patamon and Gatomon looked up from their bag.

Malik saw someone that looked a lot like him, except much older, and much scarier.

"Who are you!"gasped Malik.

"You still don't remember, do you? I know 7 years is awhile, but not enough not to remember me"it said.

"Remember you? I would remember something like you! Who are you, why do you look so much like me!"gasped Malik.

"Malik, I know of your grief, and that you plan to destroy the pharoah and take his power. Perhaps I can help you out with that"he said.

Malik took the Millenium Rod out of his pocket.

"I'm warning you, do not test me!"

"You think you can use the Millenium Rod on me? Go ahead, try it!"it said.

Malik clenched the Rod tightly and pointed it at the being, but he bounced back.

"Let this be a warning, do not challenge my power!"

"RASHID!"

"Malik!"gasped Rashid once again charging through T.K and Kari and dumping the soda on Kari, causing her to shake her head.

"Jerk!"spat T.K.

"What was that? Was it a dream? Another one?"thought Kari.

Her head felt so much pressure. So much. But she shook her head, and decided to just ignore the headache.

"Master Malik, are you allright?"asked Rashid.

Malik opened his eyes, not realising they were closed.

"I'm fine"said Malik.

"What happened?'asked Rashid.

"Well, you know those dreams I've been having? I just had another one"

"Another dream?"asked Rashid.

"Yes, I keep dreaming I'm in this dark place, and, oh it's nothing. Come on, let's go back. We should begin planning for the Pharoah's demise"said Malik hoping on his motorbike, and Rashid hopping on the back as Malik drove off.

"Man, my hair! My mom's gonna kill me!"said Kari.

"Yeah, what a creep. C'mon, let's go before we have to put up with more jerks like that"said T.K picking up the bag with Gatomon and Patamon. ************************************************

"Hey Yug, what's up? You've been zoned out all day"said Joey.

"What? Oh it's nothing Joey"said Yugi.

"Sure?"he asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure. Hey, when's your sister getting that operation?"asked Yugi.

"Not sure yet, I hope it's soon"said Joey.

Yugi aimlessly walked into the middle of the road.

"Yugi, be acreful!"warned Yami.

"Huh?"

"Yugi!"

Joey dashed over and tackled Yugi down, barely getting him out of the way.

"You crazy Yugi! You almost became Road Kill!"said Joey.

"sorry. Well, I'll see ya later Joey"said Yugi.

"Allright, just try not to get hit by anymore cars, aw'right?"said Joey.

"Okay"said Yugi with a giggle.

"You're lucky Joey was there Yugi. You could've been killed. What are you thinking about?"asked yami.

"About what Shadi said. He said someone's after my puzzle, and there's no telling when he or she will strike"said Yugi.

"Well you won't be alive to meet him if you keep letting your mind wander like that"said Yami. *****************************************************

"See ya later T.K"said Kari as T.K went into his apartment.

Kari sighed and walked off, holding her head.

"What was that today? Who were those people I saw? Why do I keep having these dreams? COuld someone be trying to contact me?"thought Kari.

Kari gasped as she bumped into a 15 year old with long White hair.

"Oh, I'm sorry"said Kari.

"Quite allright"he said in an english accent.

Kari noticed some cards had fallen from his pocket. Kari bent over to pick them up.

"Here, these are yours I believe"said Kari.

"Thank you, say what's your name anyway?"

"Kari"

"I'm Bakura, nice meeting you"

"Nice meeting you too"said Kari walking off.

"Insolent brat, how dare she touch my cards?"thought Yam Bakura taking over.

"No matter, I can deal with that brat later. Right now I have other things to worry about. Like finding the other millenium items, including Yugi's Puzzle"he thought before walking off. **************************************************

Malik was infureated at what took place earlier.

"How could this be? How could he counteract the power of my millenium Rod? Oh well, once I become Pharoah, not even that ''thing'' will be a threat to me"thought Malik.

"Aw!"

Once again he could see flashes of the waves in front of his eyes.

"No! I am getting sick and tired of this foolishness!"thought Malik.

He got up and walked out. As he stomped down the hallway, Rashid saw him.

"where are you going?"asked Rashid.

"For a walk. Watch tings for me"

"Yes"

Malik walked out into the night, the air refreshing. There was nothing more refreshing then the cool breeze of the night.

But that wasn't enough to distinguish what was going on.

"I'm getting to the bottom of this! If I have to put up with these ridicolous dreams and illusions, I might as well figure out what they mean!"thought Malik.

"Hey man, nice piece of gold"said a man, refering to his rod.

Malik turned around.

"So you like my rod, do you? Well how about you feel it's power"said Malik.

Before the man could respond, Malik had control of his mind. Malik had the man walk over to the fountain and stick his head in it.

"That's it, take a nice refreshing dip, HA HA!"

But Malik's smile was wiped clean off when the water was becoming Black and White.

"Again! This is getting ridicolous! What in the, WHAT!"

He saw his body fizziling, it was Black and White.

"Would somebody tell me what's going on here! I've turned into static here for crying out loud!"said Malik. **********************************************

Malik awed at the presence of the ever familiar place. It was a beach, with a cave and a large ocean, except everything was in Black and White.

"What is this, some Black and White Horror movie! What are you!"demanded Malik.

"No, what do you want!"

Malik looked over as a young girl was backing away from some hideous Black creature.

"Well what do we have here. Perhaps this girl may know something"thought Malik.

Malik propted his Rod at the creature's head, gaining control easily.

"What are you!"demanded Malik.

"S-s-servant of the undersea master"

"Master, eh? Tell me, who is this master?"

"W-we can-n't speak it's name"

"Oh is that right? Then you are of no use to me!"

Malik ordered the thing to walk back into the ocean.

Malik turned towards the girl.

"Thank you"she said.

"Who are you? What do you know about this place?"asked Malik.

"My name's Kari, and I don't know anything"said Kari.

"Then you are of no use to me either"said Malik taking the end off of his Rod, revealing a needle.

Kari gasped, her eyes widened in horror. Before Kari could run, Malik used the power of the rod to pin Kari against the wall.

"Nice knowing you Kari"said Malik preparing to stab her, however she started fading.

"What is this!"gasped Malik.

"Kari, Kari wake up!"

"Whos' that!"

"Gatomon"said Kari lifelessly before vanishing.

"Hey, get back here! Darn, oh well. No use in wasting energy on her"said Malik putting his rod away. He closed his eyes solemnly.

"She may prove useful, maybe. I wonder, it's a slim possibility, but could she know the Pharoah?"thought Malik.

He opened his eyes, and gasped as he saw himself standing in the streets of night.

"I'm back! This makes no sense, I don't like this a bit!"thought Malik.

"There he is!"

Malik turned around, and saw 3 of his hunters running to him.

"Thank goodness master. Rashid was worried, you've been gone for almost 7 hours"

"7 hours! Impossible!"said Malik.

"It's true"said one of them.

"Allright, let's go back. I've had enough of the streets for one night"

To be continued... ***************************************************

How was it? I had a dream where the episodes "His Master's Voice" from Digimon was intertwiened, or connected with the episode "Mystery Duelist" from Yugioh. I don't plan on making this fic long, or making a sequel unless it's a real smash hit, which I doubt. Well, REVIEW! anyways.
