I don't own Yu-gi-oh. Apollo will enforce that. Ja ne!

Sen sat on the counter, waiting for 6:00 to come around.

Marik walked in. "Hi Sen."

"Hello." Sen replied. "Has anyone pulled up yet?"

Marik shook his head. "No."

Sen checked her watch. "It's 5:30." She said. "They should be here soon."

"Relax." Marik said.

Sen walked over to the stove, "The food's is almost done."

"Mmm." Marik said. "Smells good."



It was 5:47 when the first guests got there. Joey, Yugi and Tristan smiled and said. "Hi Sen. What's cooking? It sure smells good."

Sen replied, "It's pretty much Native food."

"Native?" Joey asked.

"From Egypt." Marik said. He walked up behind Sen, the Millennium Rod in his belt loop.

"Oh." Tristan said. "There's no snakes or anything like in Indiana Jones is there?"

"Tristan!" Yugi exclaimed.

"What, it was just a question." Tristan asked.

Suddenly another person knocked on the door. It was Tea and Bakura.

Then, a few minutes later, Sen's mother arrived. She was most pleased to meet all of them.

"It's a pleasure." she said, shaking all of their hands.

Now that everyone had arrived, they ate. Most of the guest were a bit nervous about the food, but Yami took over Yugi and just dug in.

"Has it been a while?" Sen asked Yami.

Yami looked up and smiled. "Yeah."

Suddenly Sen's mother got up. "Excuse me." she said and walked off to the bathroom.

Sen was walking over with desserts when Joey spilt wine all over her white dress.

"JOEY!" she wailed.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Joey screamed, covering his head with his arms.

Sen whacked him softly on the head with the tray and said. "I'll be right back."

Sen had finished changing into black pants and a red halter top when she felt funny. She turned and looked to her shelf. The Crown was calling out to her. The Eye on it glowed off and on and Sen felt a strong force.

'What do you want?' she thought. Sen walked over and looked behind her. 'I promised the Pharaoh I wouldn't touch it.' she thought.

"Who cares what the pharaoh says." Sen heard a voice say.

"Who's there?" Sen asked nervously.

"The spirit of the Crown." the voice replied.

"Why are you doing this?" Sen questioned, backing away.

"Oh, please don't leave me." the voice said. "I just want to be friends."

"You. you do?" Sen asked.

A transparent version of herself appeared. "Yes." she said, looking very ashamed. "I'm sorry about what I did. I was angry."

Sen smiled. "You know what?" she said. You're a really good actress."

"What?!" the spirit yelled.

"You could say . . . . I can see right through you."

"How dare you!"

"You're not gonna fool me."

The spirit smiled. "I should of known."

Sen was confused, but suddenly her eyes grew dark and dull and she walked to the Crown. A

A voice said. "You are my vessel, I will not be ignored. You or the Pharaoh will not stop me. I will get my revenge and some little girl is not going to control me. The Pharaoh seems to have forgotten the colossal powers the Crown has and I believe it's time to refresh his memory."



Sen's mother was just looking herself over in the mirror when Sen walked in.

"Yes dear?" She asked.

"Do not call me dear." Sen replied, her voice low and twisted.

"Okay, what's the matter, Sen?" sen's mother asked.

"Nothing." Sen answered. "For I am not Sen." The Crown glowed.



Yami Bakura woke up in his mind chamber. 'It is time to get that crown.' He stood up. "Excuse me, I'm going to see what's taking them." he said and walked up stairs.

Yami watched him lead. His eyes narrowed in suspicion. He looked at Marik.

Marik knew why and touched his Rod lightly, he had a feeling he would have to use it.



Sen walked up to her mother. "Do you know what it's like to be your daughter? It's hell." she said. "You ignored her, sent her away. Now she stuck with me."

"Who are you?" Sen's mother asked.

"You sure do ask a lot of questions don't you?"

"What is your point?"

"If it wasn't for you. Your daughter would of been safe from my wrath. I know I should only use her as a vessel, but . . . . . I have seen the pain in her heart. I will not ignore it."

"Hello there." a voice said.

Sen turned, "Who-- Bakura?"

Bakura nodded then shook his head. "Actually no." he said.

"Oh." Sen said. "Your vessel is like mine then?"

"Yes."

"What do you want?"

"Your Crown."

Sen smiled. "Really?" she said, acting surprised. "Well, just so you know, I am also a thief. So watch it pal, or I'll get mad."

Sen's mother whimpered.

"CAN IT WOMAN!" Both of the Yamis yelled.

Bakura said, "Well, if you won't give me the Item. I'll take it then."

"I'd like to see you try." Sen replied.

"Fine then." Bakura said, activating his Ring's power. He sent a stream of blue light at her.

Sen met it with a red light of her own. "You are strong, Bakura." she said. She centered more of her power, but I am stronger!" She sent Bakura flying into the shower, stuck the wall.

He grunted and tried to free himself.

"Now that you are out of the way." Sen said, "It's time for you mother."
