Author- Sorry everybody, I made a big mistake in the first few chapters by writing Kaiba as Kiba. I'm fixing it from now on, sorry again!

"I win again."
"Wow Caitlin, you're pretty good at dueling!" Yugi said in fake awe.
Caitlin blushed, "Thanks Yugi!"
Yami however, was pretty much going crazy in his soul chamber.
//Aibou! Stop loosing on purpose! You're ruining my reputation as King of Games and I don't like it!//
/Be nice Yami, it was your idea in the first place./
//Yes but I didn't expect you to challenge her to a re-match five times!//
/Ok ok I'll stop./
//Good.//
"I thought you said Yugi was hard Mai." Caitlin said, slight mocking tone in her voice.
//Why that little-!//
/Yami!/
"Hello? You still alive there Yug?" Yugi heard Joey's voice in the corner of his mind and stopped talking with his Yami.
"Oh sorry guys, just talking to, well, you know," He lowered his voice to a whisper, although no one was in the card shop, he wanted to be safe. "Yami."
"You have a Yami!" Caitlin practically shouted, earning herself six hands clapped over her mouth. "Sorry... I didn't know it was such a big deal..."
"It's ok, just be careful what you say next time." Bakura seemed to be his old self again, did he have some kind of duel personality or something?
*Going to have to talk to him later.* Caitlin thought.
"Did your friend Bob have an Yami?" Tea asked.
It took Caitlin a minute to realize what he was talking about, "Oh! Uh, no, she didn't."
"I thought most items came with a Yami." Bakura said.
"Well, it did come with a Yami, only- something happened and it went away."
"That's weird." Said Tristen.
"Yeah, real shame too." Yugi said, "Yami's can be a good thing to have."
"Uh, guys?" Tea said, pointing out the shop window, "Who's that?"
A young teenaged boy was limping up to the shop. He looked in and wiped his mouth (which was bleeding like his nose was). By the look of him, he had gotten into a fight and it didn't turn out well for him. He almost fell over when he saw who was in the shop and pushed some of the black hair out of his green eyes. Black hair? Green eyes?
"Oh my good god it's Zach!" Caitlin yelled, running outside to meet him.
The group followed her and watched as she helped him stand up and wiped his face with a tissue.

AUTHORS NOTE- In this sequence, everyone talks, a lot. So I'm going to switch it over to script style for a while. Thank you!

Caitlin- Are you ok? What happened!?
Tristen- Who's this?
Tea- Caitlin is this Herman?
Mai- Herman?
Tea- Yeah, the one Caitlin was telling us about last night.
Joey- Hello? Completely left in the dark here?
Yugi- Looks like he got into a fight. What's his name?
Tea- Herman.
Zach- You told them my name was Herman?!
Caitlin- Well that is your name isn't it?
Zach- Yeah but I hate it.
Yugi- So what's his name?
Tea- Herman.
Caitlin- Zach.
Mia- You told us Herman!
Caitlin- Yeah his name IS Herman but we call him Zach cause Herman is just plain weird.
Bakura- So you are Zach or Herman?
Zach- Herman!
Caitlin- Herman?
Zach- I mean Zach!
Yugi- So your name is Zach but they call you Herman but you like Zach better?
Zach- No my name is Herman but I hate Herman so we unofficially changed my name to Zach because Herman is weird and Zach is cooler like me. So you guys can call me Zach even though my name is Herman because my name was changed so now I'm Zach.
All- Ooohhhhh.
Caitlin- Simple thing turned technical.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Author- ^_^ Got it? Ok! Back to the regular way!

Zach spit into the gutter and leaned up against the shop. "Meg's gone Caitlin."
"What!?" She said, her jaw dropping.
"Megan left his morning to look for you, I think she might have wanted to apologize or something but she couldn't find you anywhere. When she came back, these creeps had followed her to the Antique store and arrested her for something. They tried to get me too but- I held them back long enough to get outta there."
"They took Megan? Why!?"
Zach glared at her, in a way that told Caitlin he finally knew what she stole, "They traced the clues to the antique store and thought she an artifact from the museum."
"And Megan doesn't match the description!"
"Ever heard of a wig? That's what they're betting on these days."
"But- but she didn't even do anything!"
"You're right, SHE didn't." He said, pushing himself up and jerking his head away from the group to show he wanted to talk to her privately.
"Will you excuse us for a moment." Caitlin said walking over to the area he wanted her to and then hissing at him, "What did you think you were doing?!"
"Where is it?"
"What?"
"The item you stole what else!?"
"Oh that, so you finally figured it out?"
"Caitlin you told me you were going into the museum to steal something form the gift shop!"
"And you actually believed that?"
"Well, no. But the point is, you lied. No, that's not the point. The real point is- Caitlin you probably stole something under the highest guard in the whole city! Were you crazy or something!"
"I explained all this to you already! It was mine before they stole it from me! It's all their fault I lost my Yami!"
"You tried looking lately?"
"Yeah, last night when Mai and Tea were sleeping I looked for her. I couldn't find her anywhere! She's just- gone!"
"What do you mean by that? You can't LOOK for her!"
"I can, and I did. You've just got to tap into the powers of the millennium item just enough to get a signal but for some reason something has been stopping me lately. I don't know what it is but whenever I try to get in, I get a cold feeling and it sucks my energy out! And I can't even use the power because of that stupid signal so if I wasn't as determined as I am to work it, that beetle would be useless to me!"
"So the item is powerless?"
"Duh! Otherwise I would use the powers all the time!"
"There is this dude Kaiba who thinks that the item will give him one up on this King of Games person. That's why he wants it so badly and he isn't going to stop looking for it."
"But it's mine! He stole it so I stole it back and he has no right to have it!"
"Where is it? I could take it with me for a while. I don't match what the thief looked like."
"What about the wig thing?"
"They may bet on wigs but they don't bet on the BOY being the thief that looked like a GIRL."
"I'm not going to let you have it!"
"Caitlin?" Tea's voice came from behind them.
Caitlin jumped, then she smiled and held up one finger to say 'hold on a minute.'
"Where is it anyway?"
"In my-" She froze, searching the small pockets on each side of her jeans. The item was gone.
"In your what?"
"It's not in my pocket. I must have left it at Mai's!"
"YOU LEFT IT?! YOU LEFT THE ITEM AT SOMEONE'S HOUSE!?" Although Caitlin got the impression of being yelled at, at the top of Zach's lungs he was still whispering so the others wouldn't overhear.
"Shut up I know I can find it. I'll just go back and-"
"No time! We've got to get Megan back before she gets into big trouble!"
"How are we going to do that!?"
"I don't know I don't care we've got to do something though YOU especially!"
He grabbed her hand and pulled her down the street, limping all the way.
"BYE GUYS I'M GOING TO SAVE MEGAN'S LIFE BEFORE TROUBLE HAPPENS AND JUNK I'LL SEE YOU LATER!" Caitlin called to them before disappearing down the street.
Tea, Joey, Bakura, Mai, and Tristen just watched her leave. Zach and Caitlin ran down the road in an angry rush until they were out of sight.
//Aibou? What just happened?"//
/She left Yami, Caitlin left with a guy named Zach to save a girl named Megan./
//How long ago?//
/Three seconds ago and counting./
//...//
/Yami?/
//Follow her.//
