When Yugi and co. got to class, they saw that Sakura and Téa weren't in class. They were wondering where theySakura and Téa were. Téa was probably still crying somewhere. But Sakura... well, they figured that she was sick. At recess, they were playing soccer. At lunch they wherelunch, they were eating under the big oak tree in the playground. When it was home time,time to go home, they still haven'tdidn't seen Téa around. They were getting kind of slightly worry.worried. But everybody just thought she went home and would come back to school tomorrow. So everybody said their good- byes and went home.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~

Sakura was at home but notshe wasn't sick. She was pacing around the living room, with thea gold item hanging from her neck. Then she got an idea. "Hmm...Igothad an idea."Hmm.I have an idea. She said to herself, "Hmm... I think a little bit more fun won't hurt. "hurt." And with a grin, she walked out of the house.

She walked in to a dark alley. Then Suddenly, a hand covered her mouth.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~

At Yugi's house.

Yugi was talking with Yami in his bedroom. Then Yami felt that strange and familiar magic again.

Yami: "Yugi. I think whoever's doing the strange events lately. I-I think whoever it is, is using his or her magic again."I think whoever is doing the strange events that has been happening lately,it doing it again.I think he or she is using a magic long forgotten.

Yugi: "Hmm...What can we do? I don't think there's a way to stop him or her if we don't know who is doing it otit... nor where to find this person. "person."

Yami: "Yes. That's true. But we can't just sit here and wait, while this person creates destruction."creates chaos"

Yugi: "I know, but what can we do?"

Yami: "I don't know, aibou. I just don't know."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~

At Ryou's house.

Bakura was feeling the same feeling Yami was feeling.

Bakura: "Yadonushi, do you feel that power?"

Ryou: "Um...no?"

Bakura: "You can't?!"

Ryou: "Nope. Why? Is there something wrong with this...power?"

Bakura: "No. Nothing.."

Ryou: "You sure."

Bakura: "No."

Ryou: *sweat dropps* "Oh."

Bakura was still aware of the power. He tried to ignore it, but the power was just so strong, so familiar. Bakura walked into the living room, still thinking about the strange power. He sat on the couch and turned on the TV. The first thing he saw was a man in a dark alley. Blood trailed from his head. The police and paramedics were around the scene. "Hello my name is Fanny, I'm reporting to you live. Right now we're at Watriti Street. A man has been murdered in this alley. The doctors think believe he has had been killed a couple of hours from nowago."

'Then I haven't been imagining it all.' thought Bakura.

Bakura: "Yadonushi! I'm going out for a while."

Ryou: "Ok. Just be careful."

Bakura: "Ya. Sure. Whatever."

Bakura opened the front door and walked out. He walked to Attrite Street, the polices and paramedics were still there. He walked by themit. Then , and thenwalked to the park. They Bakura wandered around the city. When the stars came out he stopped by the park once more and sat on the bench. He stared at the stars for a while. Then someone stood in front of him.

"Hi." Bakura looked away from the stars and saw a girl.

Bakura: "Do I know you?"

The girl: "Ryou, don't you remember who I am?"

'Must be one of stupid hikari's friend.' Bakura thought: "Hi. Um...I remember you, but I just couldn't remember right now."

The girl: "Oh. My name is Sakura. It must be hard to remember my name, since we just met a few days ago."

' Sakura? That name sounds like a person I knew but not quite the same, who could she it be? ' Bakura thought.

Sakura: "Ryou, the stars are beautiful, aren't they?"

Bakura looked up. "Yes they are beautiful... " They continued staring at the stars. Then Sakura sat next to Bakura. Bakura looked at her:, she looked familiar. Like a puzzle with missing pieces. Bakura didn't like it when he didn't know things;, it made him a bit frustrated. They were both silent for a while. Then Sakura got up.

Sakura: "I better get going. It's getting late. Bye, Ryou."

Bakura: "Bye."

A few minutes after Sakura left. Bakura went back home.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~

Bakura: "Yadonushi! I'm home."

Ryou walked out of the kitchen and walked up to Bakura. "Where have you been, I was getting worriedy.

Bakura: "Where I've been is none of your business. And don't worry so much. Now go back to doing whatever you were doing."

Ryou shrugged: "Ok."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~

The next morning...

It was a Saturday. This was thee day the groupgang was going to the movies with Sakura. But they weren't going to meet here at the movies until 6p.m.

The gang weregroup were at the Kame Game shop, talking and fooling around. But Téa was still missing,; nobody worried too much because they all kneow that she was's really sensitive and would probably turn up later today.

Joey: "I'm the king of Duel Monsters!"

Tristan: "More like the king of amateurs."

Joey: "Hey!"

Tristan: *snickers*

Yugi: *smiling* "You guys stop fooling around. By the way, have you seen Téa this morning?"

Joey: "No. Have you , Tristan?"

Tristan: "Nope. But I bet she's just at home crying. Nothing big."

Yugi: "Yeah, I guess you're right."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~

When it was time to meet Sakura at the theatre...

Ryou, Malik, Yugi, Joey, Duke and Tristan were at the theater waiting for Sakura.

Joey: "Do you think she's going to come?"

Ryou: "I hope she does."

Malik: "Why did we have to watch the movie with her, just when Téa is not here, too?.I was hoping we could go to the movies with just us guys, I don't like girls hanging around us too much; especially really girly ones and ones that always rant about friendship."

Yugi: "Oh come on, she can't be that bad."

Malik: "How do you know? We just knew her.met her."

Ryou: "Yugi's right. Sakura can't be that bad."

Sakura: "Hi, did I just hear my name? Talking about me? Oh, and sorry I'm late. I didn't know where it was. I haven't beenwent to the theaters here, yet."

Ryou: "Oh. Well that's ok."

Malik: "Yeah and we were talking about how annoying gi-"

Yugi cut him off: "Never mind that, lets buy our tickets."

Sakura: "Ok!"

Yugi and co. walked toward the ticket booth and bought their tickets. The title of the movie was Who Lives in the Dark? itIt was a horror movie. They went to the popcorn stand theto buy popcorn before the movie started. Joey and Tristan were nagging them to buy lots of popcorn. After, they went into the theater and sat near the front. During the movie, "oohh's", "ahh's" and "eww's" were heard around them. When the movie ended they went outleft talking about it.

Sakura: "That was a great movie!"

Joey: "It was kinda freaky though."

Duke: "Yeah. Especially the part where the monster eating ate everybody's brains."

Yugi: "I don't believe they actually showed it."

Ryou: "Yeah. It was gross."

Sakura: *smiling* "Well I better get going, it's getting pretty late."

Malik: "Yeah. You should go home." 'You shouldn't have left your home in the first place'

Sakura: "Well, ja."

Ryou: "Bye."

Yugi: "Sayonara."

Duke: "See you."

Tristan: "Later."

Joey: "Bye."

Malik: "Don't get hit by a car!"

Everybody except Malik sweatdropped.

Sakura: *cough* " Um...thanks for the advice. Well, got to go."

They all went home after that.
