Marik paced his rooms, faintly nervous, though he would never admit it to himself. Everything had gone according to plan, but plans were always subject to change. He had finally figured out his problem and how to solve it. He had noticed that Yugi became focused when he Dueled, so he needed to make Yugi unfocused. He would have to call on ancient magic's, but he thought he had deciphered a scroll allowing him to summon confusion or chaos. Finally he was ready. He locked himself in his ancient chamber, guarded against any interruptions. He called on the power of the Millennium Rod to give him the extra boost he needed to complete his spell. Some of the ingredients the spell called for were strange, and it was a very advanced spell. Why would you need a pentagram to contain confusion? However, Marik completed the spell without mishap. When the smoke cleared, he saw... a human figure? The figure turned to him. "So. What do you want a Chaos Demon for?"

"A what?" Marik asked coolly.

"A Chaos Demon. You know, we come, cause confusion, and then leave. Unless you were hoping to hurt me? If that's the case, you'll be disappointed because I am one of the strongest Chaos Demon's you'll meet!"

Marik's face paled imperceptibly. His Millennium Rod could not reach the mind of that thing. It wasn't human, and it was so powerful! "Can you cause confusion in a certain person if I point him out to you?" Marik asked, trying to make the best of it.

"If you let me out of this pentagram" the Demon answered.

"I know better than that!" Marik snapped. "If I let you out you'll kill me."

"I won't kill you if you'll do me a favor." said the Demon, black eyes glittering in the lamplight.

"What?" Marik asked suspiciously.

"There's this annoying girl in a town I was trying to take over, Sunnydale. I'll teach you the spell, you transport her here, and that will cause confusion. We'll both win."

"Why can't you perform the spell?" Marik asked.

The Demon sighed. "I don't have enough power." He paused for a moment. "Neither do you, but if I feed you power you can do it."

Marik hesitated for a split second, and then agreed. It didn't take long at all before he had prepared everything. "Remember" the Demon cautioned. "ONLY the girl. That would cause confusion enough. You don't need half the town."

*Actually* thought Marik. *I do.* He poured all of his power into it and ruthlessly seized the life force of a few of his Rare Hunters and poured their power into the spell too. Finally he held as much power as he could, any more and he would burn up. He released the flow, finished the spell, and collapsed. When he awoke, the Demon was gone, he had a splitting head headache, and Domino City had changed forever. | |I do not own any original Buffy or Yu-Gi-Oh! Character.

Buffy awoke early the next morning. The phone rang Buffy walked wearily over and picked it up "Hello?" Buffy asked.
"Hey Buff. Have you been outside yet?" the voice on the other end asked.
"No, why? Who is this?" Buffy asked.
"Anya," came the reply.
"Anya, you never call me what's the problem?" Buffy asked.
"Listen Buff, can I come over? I think we need to talk in person," Anya asked.
"Sure Anya, I guess that's cool." Buffy replied.
"Thanks Buff!" Anya called and hung up the phone. Just then an all to familiar shout came from the door.
"BUFFY! I come back to Sunnydale for ONE day and everything goes haywire!"
"Cordillia?" Buffy asked.
"You better believe it!" Cordy yelled.
"What are all of you guys talking about?" Buffy asked frustrated.
"Buffy!" Anya panted.
"What's she doing here?" Anya and Cordy yelled pointing to each other.
"What is the big deal!?" Buffy asked finally.
"You mean why we're here?" Anya asked.
"Yes" Buffy said impatiently.
"Well it's a long story just sit down.."

"Yugi!" someone cried from outside. Yugi who had been helping his grandpa with the chores dropped his broom and ran out side.
"Yugi hurry back!" his grandfather called.
"I will grandpa!" Yugi called back. He unlocked the door to the card shop. It was very early on a Friday morning. The sun shone on his face as he stepped outside to see whoever was calling his name. He held up his hand in order to see. It was Cassandra they didn't talk much but Yugi welcomed her in.
"Yugi I'm sorry if I disturbed you in any way." Cassandra said.
"No Cassandra its fine," Yugi said.
"Yugi there was a slight problem last night I was going to tell you at school but." Cassandra trailed of nervously.
"Follow me Cassandra," Yugi said as he walked upstairs. He was still wondering why Cassandra was talking to him, they never talk at school, they rarely see each other, in fact the only thing they had in common was the fact that they both duel.
"Yugi this is really important" Cassandra said.
"I'll grab my book bag," Yugi said. "Can you help my grandpa clean?" he added without thinking.
"Ok" Cassandra said. She walked upstairs and picked up a broom.
"Hello Tea," Yugi's grandpa said. "Oh sorry," she said looking up and seeing Cassandra. "I thought you were Tea, I don't believe we've met" He added.
"No, I'm Cassandra," Cassandra said with a slight bow.
"Thanks for your help," he said as Yugi called Cassandra from outside. He looked to see her waving good by to his grandpa and turning around to get her things. She didn't see him that was pretty obvious, he ducked out of view as she faced the direction where he was "Coming Yugi!" she said. She met him in the hall. They walked outside Yugi turned in the direction of the school. "No this way, Yugi it's important!"
"What Cassandra?" Yugi panted chasing after her. No wonder she was on the track team he thought. She stopped and Yugi was glad too; if she had kept it up he thought his lungs would burst. He looked up Horrified at what he saw!
