I'm too lazy to write a comment. Just... imagine I said something cool.

Serenity walked downstairs. She could smell bacon, and hear it sizzling softly on a pan. Joey looked over to her from the kitchen as she stepped off of the staircase."How are you feeling today, Serenity?" He beconed her to sit at the long, oak table and placed a full plate of crisp, smoky bacon in front of her. "I still feel really sick. Those pills are terrible for me." She sighed and rubbed her stomach gently."I'm sorry big brother, but I'm too nauscious to eat this stuff... I think I'll go back upstairs and..." She stood up, but Joey rushed to her and gently set her back into the chair. "No, Serenity. You've been up in your room for the whole day. Just sit down here and watch some TV with me, or something." She sighed."Fine." He smiled."But then you have to bring me my blankets and go in the livingroom with me." He ran upstairs and grabbed a bright blue blanket and a pillow off of her bed, then returned to the livingroom to find her lying on the couch. He covered her with the blanket and handed her the pillow, then sat down on a chair opposite the couch. He grabbed the remote, turned on the TV, put it on a football game."Hm. Looks like Denver beat the Seahawks." He turned to Serenity. She smiled. "Hey, Joey. Can I ask you something?" "Sure. Watcha need?" "I had a dream, and knowing how much you like interpreting dreams," She smirked. He sighed, remembering how she had taunted him for having a book on dream interpretation."I figured maybe you could tell me what it means. Okay, I was walking through this big desert, and it was night time. But I wasn't alone. There was this really cool looking guy with black hair and tattoos under his eyes, and we were walking and talking, and then this big building," She gestured with her hands, trying to impress the size of the structure,"appeared in the distance, and we walked into it. Then I woke up. What do you think?" "I have no idea." He shook his head and turned to the television."It might be one of those dreams where it's just meaningless. Like a fantasy or something." "Maybe." She sighed.*It sure felt real enough.*
Yugi sighed. Ever since Serenity had gotten out of the hospital, she had stayed inside with Joey. He wished at least Joey would come out to play. It was perfectly fun staying inside, except that his grandfather would talk constantly about 'when he was a kid, he had to walk three million lightyears in the blistering desert heat to get to the fields so he could tend his flock of sausages', and other senile comments. It was annoying, even to normally-patient Yugi. He heard a crash as his grandpa entered the room. He shook his head and quickly ran out of the door, knowing that his grandpa would try to talk to Yugi about something like school or girls. Things Yugi had no interest in right now. Today was his day to be mad. Shadow was the one who had captured Joey. And now Yugi was going to find Shadow and end this once and for all. The street was dark and sinister feeling. A light breeze blew by, and as he walked down the sidewalk, it seemed like everyone around him was staring, watching him, like they knew what he was going to try to do.*I hope they do know... because I sure don't.* He stopped and looked up at a stop sign. The large red octagon seemed to laugh at him through its painted exterior. He realized for the first time that he had no plan, no strategy for finding and defeating Shadow."Yugi." He could feel Yami's presence near him, and his spirit seemed to break."This is not the way to win." All the fustration and anger of watching his friends being beaten and him not being able to help poured out. "SHADOW," he yelled at the top of his lungs,"You will show yourself, and we will finish this now!" His anger was met by a gentle breeze, and total silence. He could feel blood rosing his cheeks. Yet, with all of his emotion, there was nothing he could do. Shadow would find him, eventually, and the fight would ensue from there. That's how it worked with each other opponent... Yugi just had to wait...
Shadi stood in front of Ishizu. His robes were irregularly heavy, as though the weight of the world was on his shoulders. He knew it was. The fate of the world depended on him convincing Ishizu to stop being so spiteful towards Duel Monsters and to start accepting them as a way of gaining peace."Ishizu. You must understand. If Yugi loses this duel-" "Shadow will claim all that is mortal." She nodded and fiddled with one of the ceramic pots on display in her exhibit."I heard it all before, Shadi. And nothing you can do will make me turn back to duel monsters." "Please. You have to give the Pharaoh what he needs for victory. Knowledge of his past and how Kayre was defeated-" She held up her hand to stop his speech."Who is Kayre?" Ishizu turned her eyes to him and lowered her arms to her sides. "Kayre was the one you call Shadow before he gained the powers of his Millenium item. As we stand, the only way the Pharaoh will win is if you can convince him to find Kayre's love." "No, Shadi." She shook her head."I will not help you in any way." "Ishizu." He walked to a small clay tablet and fingered the inscriptions."We have both heard of the ancient scripture that tells of this event." He read the inscription slowly, letting the words sink in. This was his last chance to convince her to help him."The day will soon come when those who hold darkness and those who hold light shall clash, and those who hold light will lose the greatest of wars. But when those that hold darkness find the light of acceptance, even the greatest of their warriors will bow down and praise those who hold light." Once Kayre finds his love, Kya," he turned to Ishizu and clutched his Millenium Ankh,"the evil will be gone. He hates the pharaoh's spirit because he took Kayre's love. But if the Pharaoh returns that love to Kayre, perhaps the hate will subside." Ishizu sighed."Fine. I will call the Pharaoh to this exhibit, and I will convince him to locate this 'Kya'. I just hope you're right, Shadi... or not even Osiris himself can help us." "You have also heard the other legends, correct?" Shadi raised an eyebrow. "No." She looked at him, curiously."What do you mean?" "When Hitoshu and Kayre left this world for the Shadow Realm, two of the egyptian gods left with them- Amun the Sky-Heaven Dragon, and Seth the Giant god Soldier. Osiris the Sky Dragon and Re were left, along with Obelisk. If Kayre still holds his god card... the Pharaoh will not survive. You must warn him of this, as well." "Fine." She turned away."But you will do me a favor as well, Shadi." There was no response. She turned back to find him gone.
Shadow smiled. The museum was dark. Night had fallen hours ago, and the lights were out. But this was his time to shine. The shadows cast by the artifacts were long and beautiful. Of course, he thought this of all shadows- they were where he had gotten his name, after all. Then he felt a familiar energy. He looked down to find his Millenium Raptor glowing brightly. It was the most powerful of all of the Millenium items, but its fury was not just unleashed by creating the Shadow Realm- its true power was in Keva, a being of pure chaos. Keva came from the Shadow Realm itself, and took over Shadow's body during time of pain and trial. It was glowing now because the Millenium Necklace was nearby. "This", Shadow said to himself,"is only a fight between Hitoshu and I. These mortals have no true part in this war... yet, the one known as Ishizu carries one of the Millenium items I require for victory." He reached to the long, thin, black belt at his waist and pulled the Millenium Rod from its embrace."And I will do what I must to defeat her and claim her item." He walked into her office. She looked up at him and her eyes became wide, a look of pale fear flashing over her face."What the hell? This is private property. Leave, or I will-" He raised the Millenium Rod, throwing her to the wall. She writhed for a moment, then let herself go limp. There was nothing she could do against Shadow's power."Ishizu, correct?" He looked at her neck."Of course. The Millenium Necklace tells me your identity." He smirked as the Millenium Raptor began to glow furiously, then stopped. His hair had become much more spikey and black, and his eyes had lost their liveliness."I'm sorry it had to come to this. Either you hand over the Millenium Necklace, or I have to kill you to attain it." She shook her head."I will never let you have it." "Okay." He shrugged and released her from his binding."I was gonna do this anyway, but now I guess I don't have a choice." She watched, in horror, as his smile changed. His canines lengthened into fangs."What are you?" "Hm. To tell you the truth," he paused,"even I don't know. But I am happy this way. Now would you mind laying down on top of your desk there," he gestured toward the desk,"or am I gonna have to throw you onto it?" She raised her hands."Don't make me use the power of my Millenium-" "Ishizu!?" Hitoshu ran into the office and saw Shadow, then Ishizu."What's going on? And what are you doing here!?" He glared at Shadow. "Please." Shadow shook his head."I'm trying to win this war. You have the Millenium Fang and the Millenium Scale. I have the Millenium Rod and Millenium Raptor. I think I'm entitled to get the Millenium Necklace, so I can kill you. Don't ya think?" He raised the Millenium Rod again, throwing Hitoshu to the wall. Then he grabbed Ishizu's Millenium Necklace, threw her onto the desk, climbed on top of her, and tore the shoulder of her robes."Boy, if I wasn't about to kill you, this might make a good porn movie." He smirked and bit into the base of her neck, near the trapezius. She trembled for a moment, then went limp. He licked the blood from her shoulder and stood up, turning to Hitoshu."This is but a sample of my power, you fool. And now that I have three Millenium items, you can't stop me." He laughed, noted the sun's light coming into the window, and walked out of the room. "Why did he... leave?" Hitoshu asked himself, grabbing his side. A rib was probably broken, and pain shot up and down his body."Ishizu?" He slowly crawled to her, and used the table to stand himself up. He looked down at the lifeless body of Ishizu. She was still breathing, though- shallow and weak, but breathing. He sighed with relief, then fell to the floor, his back to the desk. Then he noticed that the sun was filtering through the window behind him."It must have... been the sun..." He slumped a bit more."Maybe his weakness is... light..." He closed his eyes. He needed to sleep for a while... just a little nap...
