The gang stepped out of the hospital, and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Keith had just had a mild episode, and he didn't remember a thing since his
last visit with the doctor. To the world, as well as himself, he had
somehow gotten away from the hospital and been walking around when they
found him.
Joey sat down on a bench. "Great, we lose one of the Greek Weapon cards. Well, it's game over man, lets wait for the world to end!"
Raia slipped him hard across the back of his head. "Would you knock it off! We can still find the Sword of Ares, as well as the other ones."
"How?" Tristan asked. "We have no idea who the other 4 duelists were. We have no idea where Geno is.."
"And I am pooped!" Tea said, collapsing down upon the bench next to Joey.
"Guys, we need to think!" Yugi said.
"Think later, we sleep now." All three said, closing their eyes. Yugi looked at Raia, who sighed, and hailed a Taxi. They all got in, and after dropping the rest off, they arrived at Yugi's home.
"Listen, I guess we'll meet up tomorrow to talk about what to do next." Raia said. She paused, headed for the cab. Both their items glowed, and the spirits replaced them.
"Kaikou."
Kaikou looked at Yami. "Yes?"
"Do you.do you think Geno is right about me?"
"No, of course not. I don't know what happened.."
Yami sighed. "I hate it that I have no idea what happened back then. Geno seems to know everything, you know things, yet I don't.."
Kaikou put a hand on his shoulder. "Listen, it's not your fault. Heck, if Geno is right at all, then we all have had some things blocked." She sighed, looking up at the sky.
Yami gulped. HE didn't want to ask, but he needed too. "Kaikou, I know you have always protected me, you told me so.but were we..more?"
Kaikou paused, wondering if she should finally admit the truth, that the two of them had been married, long ago. "We were friends, really close friends, if you get what I mean."
Yami nodded. Kaikou smiled, and headed to the cab. "Kaikou!" He paused. "You live all the way across town, and it seems silly for you to head back there when you'll just have to drive back, and it is late.."
Kaikou looked at him and grinned. "Why Yami, are you asking me to a sleep over? What would Yugi's grandpa think?"
"Well, him and Yugi's ma are out of town for a few weeks, so it is just me."
Kaikou raised an eyebrow. "You know Yugi and Raia would kill us for this."
"Yea."
Kaikou waved the taxi off and followed Yami inside.

Yugi yawned stretched his arms out. He blinked, and looked over at his alarm clock. "7 am. Way too early. We don't need to be over at Raia's till 10. That gives me another hour to sleep." He yawn, and shifted.
"Oof!"
Yugi paused, and slowly turned to find Raia staring back at him. They looked at each other.
"AAAA!!!!!!"
They both leapt up, and thanked the gods that they were just wearing what they wore the night before. Both glanced at the other, and then down at the items.
"We need to talk!" They both replied angrily to the spirits.
Before they could argue with the sprits, or even talk to each other, they heard a slight cough, and turning, found Shadi standing in the doorway.
"It's about time."
Both looked at one enough, then back at Shadi. " We didn't do anything Shadi." Yugi said, Raia nodding in agreement. "I mean, she isn't even my type." Raia nodded her head. "I mean, I'm the king of games, I can get any woman I want, why would I want Raia?"
Raia promptly smacked him. "Ya, the college girls are just hoping for a 5'4 kid that plays with cards."
Shadi looked at them. "May I speak to someone mature?"
The items glowed, and Yami and Kaikou looked at Shadi. He raised an eyebrow and both frowned.
"We stayed up talking about where the next duelist could be, that's all." Yami replied.
"Well, there is no need for that, my pharaoh. For I know where the duelist hides." Shadi took out a map and unrolled it. "The 6th Greek Weapon lays in the sands of our homeland."
"Egypt." Kaikou replied, tracing her fingers upon the lettering. "Why there?"
"One of the duelist at the tournament was a man named Duran, a gravekeeper."
Yami raised an eyebrow. "Like Malik's family?"
Shadi shook his head. "There are many different families of gravekeepers, each designed to guard something of importance. My ancestors were charged with guarding the temple where the millennium items were held. Malik's family guarded the temple where the memory tablet laid. This man, Duran..his family guards the tombs of the kings"
Kaikou took a deep breath. "The problem is, we will never make it there in time. Even if we were to fly, Kappa Neo would have already challenged Duran."
"Not quite. Kappa Neo doesn't know which family of keepers holds the card. HE will have to search for them, giving us the advantage." Shadi smiled. "We gravekeepers have ways of finding out what our rivals guard, in case they decide to provoke us. I know where they hide. We shall leave at once."
"How?" Kaikou asked.
"We'll get your friends, and I will transport you there."
Joey sat down on a bench. "Great, we lose one of the Greek Weapon cards. Well, it's game over man, lets wait for the world to end!"
