Indigo Tantarian Look I updated again. ^_^ Two stories in one day not bad huh? Yep I finally finished Stolen Souls. Hope you like both updates.
Penny: Angel of Darkest Dreams I was going to use magic to make her able to talk but that seemed a little to...fanciful..? I like the wheelchair works better. ^_^ Glad you like it.
fani90 Yeah Bakura is insisting on causing trouble. But he has a good reason to be poking his nose in.
(Flamed: Yeah but she won't tell you she won't even tell ME!)
ShadowFire I updated it. I don't think I should need anymore cards for a few chapters. But thanks for the suggestion. I noticed you updated 'Dark Storm' I'll read it after I come home from work.
It seems that Heart's language goes down a notch or two when she gets emotional, Hope you don't mind the over use of the word 'Crap' Oh and Tea is nice, so sorry no Tea bashing. For now anyway.^_~

"So...they are being hunted and don't know it. And they are so worried about the other students that they didn't notice the shady characters watching them. No to mention, other distractions."
"Like what?"
"Teenagers are between adults and children, they're confused by their body's and emotions." Carl looked shame faced. "They...make mistakes and hurt people without meaning too, without even knowing."

CHAPTER 11 - SHADOW OF EYES
_______________________________________________________________________________
Another School day, everyone had been told about the Pharaoh and Dar had wanted everyone to go, some had agreed some hadn't. Celt pointed out that the dragons had no where else to go and they couldn't leave them so they stayed.
And so they still had to go to school.
Heart was rushing to class when she ran into the white haired item holder and worse the Pharaohs light himself! Literally the three of them ended up in a tangle on the corridor floor.
"I'm sorry!" Heart panicked.
"It's okay, after all it was just an accident." Said the white haired boy. "Your the new girl aren't you?"
Heart nodded.
"I'm Yugi Moto and this is Ryou Bakura." Yugi said. "Do you want to sit by us for dinner?"
"T-thank you but, I'm sitting by Chaos." Heart said. "Er, Carl Chaos."
"He joined the school while I was a the Duellist kingdom didn't he?" Ryou asked passing Heart her bag, she had dropped it when she fell.
Heart nodded. "Yeah...er...um..."
"Heart! What's taking you so long?" Came Chaos's voice down the corridor.
"Coming, Sorry Yugi, Ryou, I have to go." Heart ran down to Chaos.
"Thank you." She said.
"No problem." Chaos said. "But you nearly gave me a heart attack when I saw you."
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Heart kept stealing glances at the item holders. She was respectful of the Pharaoh but she was shocked by the Tomb Robber, he seemed so...unlike his deck lead you to believe. Of course it was his light but still...She shrugged it off and turned her attention back to the teacher.
"So now remember auditions will be held after school today." The teacher said. "Now turn to page twenty."
Heart tried to focus on her work but different things distracted her. Like Chaos's hair. He had again put his long hair in a bride and it just begged to be stared at as it swung back and for because he was going though his bag. Blinking Heart guessed she should do the same.
She opened her bag and got out her books. She placed them on her desk and a note slipped out and landed on her lap. She hid it back in her book and read that while pretending to read page twenty.
As she read all the colour drained out of her face.
'Honesty your names are the worse aliases I have ever heard. If that's the best you and your friends collective brain cells can come up with your going to need my help.'
Under that with a telephone number and an address it was signed....
'If you can't guess your even dumber than I gave you credit for my dear.'
Heart had one thought in her head. CRAP!
She looked up and saw sharp intense brown eyes staring at her. The Tomb Robber smirked and nodded. She looked back at her books but she didn't see what was on the pages.
"Heart?"
Heart's head shot up.
The teacher had plainly had asked a question and had expected an answer but seeing Heart's pale face the teachers face softened.
"Miss Rose if you are not feeling well you should have told me. Do you wish to go to the nurse's office?"
Heart didn't think that would be a good idea, she didn't know if her illusion would stand up to even a general medical examination. Then again she should be guaranteed to pass as human....Heart shook her head it wasn't worth the wish.
"Can I go to the bathroom please miss?"
The teacher nodded and Heart walked out of the classroom, she found the girls toilet and locked herself in a cubical lowered the lid of the toilet seat and sat down.
Crap crap, crap, Okay, okay deep breaths. Heart thought. He just knows who you are he doesn't know where you live, and he probably won't send us back to the Shadow Realm like the Pharaoh would....after all he is the enemy of the Pharaoh right? Yeah he hates him so we should be okay I hope...But the Pharaoh's light and his seemed to be friends...Calm down Heart. The Tomb Robber wouldn't hurt you, you know that and he wouldn't gain anything from sending anyone back to the shadow realm, as long as everyone stays out of his way, which they had already agreed to do, we're all going to be fine...right? If not we are well and truly sewed.
Having calmed down from her panic attack started back to class. Bakura watched her as Heart made her way back to her seat as did Chaos. Heart shot a look at Chaos which said 'Not now!' Then glared at Bakura. He just smirked and turned back to his lights work.
On second thought Crap isn't a strong enough word.
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Chaos wanted to see if Heart was okay, But every time he got close Heart gave him a warning look. Whatever was bothering her he didn't want him to help. But why? What could she be hiding? Chaos was just glad school was over.
"Chaos!"
Then again.
"What is it Magi?" Chaos asked.
"I'm auditioning for the play. I want you to watch me."
Chaos shrugged, it wasn't as if he had anything better to do at the moment. "Alright then."
Chaos watched in the school hall as Magi stood on stage singing. The school play was going to be my fare lady.
"Sleep! Sleep i couldn't got to Sleep. My head's to high to ever put it down.
Bed! Bed! I couldn't got to bed, not for all the jewels in the crown....."
Chaos was surprised. Magi was quiet the actress on stage.
"I could have danced all night I could have danced all night and still have begged for more. I could have spread my wings." Chaos tried not to think about Heart right now, she had snubbed him, Chaos wanted an apology before he would talk to her. "And done a thousand things I'd never done before. I never knew it could be so exciting how all at once my heart took flight..."
Chaos suddenly realised that Magi was staring at him. And it was making him feel hot under the collar. "All I know is that when I began to dance with him I could have danced, Danced, Danced! All night!"
"Okay Magi." Said the teacher. "That was very good we'll let you know tomorrow morning if you've got a part or not okay?"
Magi nodded and jumped off the stage and walked over to Chaos.
"So what to you think?"
Was Magi blushing?
"I...think you were really good."
"Thank you!"
Magi grabbed Chaos and kissed him.
Chaos's eyes went wide before he closed his eyes, this felt...good.
Suddenly Chaos pulled away.
"What?" Magi asked,
"I thought I heard something." Chaos said looking around. But saw nothing but the half open door to the outside. "Guess it was the wind or something."
"Oh...Well want to go and hang at the mall?" Magi asked.
"Yeah....why not."

Heart ran from the school crying. She ended up in the park she sat down on the bench and sobbed into her school bag.
"Hey...Heart right? Are you okay?"
Heart looked up to see one of the Pharaoh's friends. Tea wasn't it? Looking at her concerned.
"I'm fine."
"Sure you are." Tea said planting a hand on her hip. "Everyone can be found crying in the park after school."
Heart glared at Tea. "So what does it matter to you?"
Tea sat down next to Heart. "Nothing really, but I like to help people."
Heart sighed. "I...I had a shock in school today and I didn't want to talk about it to my friend, so I kept him at arms length, and now I just saw him...KISSING...M...one of his friends who I don't get along with well."
Tea sighed,
"That's a tough one. Are you sure your just friends."
"Of course!" Heart sighed. "Well that's what I thought...."
"Well I think you need to have a good long chat with your friend. See if that kiss really meant anything, maybe you've blown it out of proportion. And if it is you have to think, do you what to brake them up which will make them miserable or can you be happy knowing he's happy." Tea sighed as if she knew what Heart was going though herself. "That may be the truest test of human emotions."
If she only knew...
"I have to go now. Thank you Tea." Heart said. "But...why did you help me?"
Tea smiled. "I like helping people, and well I think I be going though the same thing soon. You see there's this boy I like, but I think..."
"That he might like another girl?" Heart asked.
Tea smiled sadly. "If it was only that simple."
Tea walked off. Heart was left behind. She sighed. She may not be a true human but Tea was right, She had a choice to make that in reality wasn't a choice at all. If Chaos was happy with Magi and not her so be it.

Chaos walked magi home that night and he had a big surprise. No one else was there.
Nether Dar or De.
"Where's the Mr and Mrs?" Chaos asked.
"Oh they left yesterday. Something to do with De, Well Dar said he was transferred for a while by Kaibacorp for a while but if he expected me to believe that he must be dumber than I thought." Magi answered. "Do you want to come in?"
Chaos swallowed.
"I...I wish I could but I left my staff at home and well you know."
"Oh I'm sorry. Of course you can go then, I'll see you in school tomorrow."
Chaos walked from the door to the elevator and pressed the ground floor button. He then lend forward pressing his forehead to the cool wall.
He was confused. He had really liked spending time with Magi, it was different from how he felt around Heart but...why did he feel guilty about spending time around Magi instead of Heart? The elevator 'pinged' as the doors opened and a man walked in. He had blond hair and a purple suit. Chaos didn't move. The doors 'pinged' again a moment or to later and both walked off. The man in the Purple suit walked out of the building. Chaos slumped into one the chairs in the 'foyer' for lack of a better word.
"Now you really do have a lot on your mind. Try to keep your eyes open from now one, I'd hate for you to get into trouble."
Chaos snapped his head up at the words. He looked around for the source but only saw a glimpse of white hair as the door leading to the street outside opened and closed.

Miles away there were at least two monsters that were having no problems like Chaos, Magi and Heart. They were Black and Baby. And today they had visitors. They had come last night to spend the night before vanishing for what should be two months but it could be a little longer, or a little shorter, it was hard to tell with things like this.
"So Dar." Black asked. "Where will you be going?"
"Can't tell yet. Told Kaiba why I had to go and he gave us a sub on my pay so we can afford a little B&B out of town, you know until..."
"So are you going to make your marriage official and legal in this world while your gone?"
Dar blushed.
"Hell yeah." De answered. "Now can we get going? No offence Black but I don't like staying in caves unless I have to."
Black chuckled. "I understand, what with you."
"Finish that sentence and I will hurt you." De answered.
Baby Dragon looked from one to the other not understanding.
"I'm worried though I mean, what if something happens?" Dar asked.
"Dar nothing is going to happen in two months." De said. "Relax, you done your job, you got us out."
"Not all of us."
"Flamed and Pet were not your fault not anyone's fault, it wasn't as if anyone could bring them back."
"Black is right, no one couldn't have done anything." De said. "Now we are going."
Black and baby laughed as De dragged Dar out of the cave.

Heart lay on her bed as night fell. She looked at the two purple jewels in silver setting's she had found in the Castle of Dark Illusions. They were still so pretty and seemed to shine with magic, there had been so much other magic she hadn't noticed the power in them before. She still hadn't a clue what they actually did though. No that it mattered. If she got one of them on a chain it would make a great gift for Chaos. That is if she still had a chance with him.
"Heart." Itch opened the door. "Lady said dinners ready."
"Itch you little....witch haven't ever herd of knocking?" Heart asked hiding the jewel-things under her pillow.
"I did. You couldn't have heard me."
"Oh...sorry. I'll be there now." Heart said.
"Heart...are you okay?"
"Yeah...I'm fine." Heart sighed.
