Chapter 3: Finding of the Destined One
I saw the white robed Egyptian man in a turban walk towards me and stop in front of me. I saw the Millennium Key hanging from his neck and knew what he was intending to do.
"I need to see if you are worthy of the Millennium item you carry with you," he said as he kneeled in front of me.
"Wait a minute. You aren't planning on using your key to enter my mind are you?" I inquired, kind of scared now.
"It is the only way to see," he told me as he set the key upon my forehead and turned it.
I felt my mind go blank momentarily before I appeared in my soul room. It felt strange to be in the real world one minute and then in my soul room the next. I saw the Egyptian man called Shadi appear in front of me and go to open the door. I was afraid of what he was to find, but I followed anyway. The room was dimly lit and contained stuff from my home in Egypt before the accident.
There were scrolls and artifacts everywhere mixed in with games and puzzles. The sight of it amazed me. Shadi walked out of the room and I followed. I noticed another soul room across from mine, but it was empty. Almost as if it waited for something. Shadi disappeared and I soon blinked and focused on the robed Egyptian in front of me. He sat down and put away his Millennium Key.
"Please hand me the box you received," he said softly.
I reached into my bag and removed the golden box. I handed him the box and he opened it. Shadi removed the Millennium Crystal and it caught the midday sunlight and sparkled.
"This item contains the spirit of the Pharaoh's younger sister. You, like young Yugi Motou, are her reincarnation," Shadi began, "Put it on."
He handed me the necklace and I clasped it around my neck. Suddenly I was engulfed in a bright light and felt the second soul room fill with a life. Shadi watched me hoping he was wrong. The light died down and I felt the second spirit wanting to take over my body, a lot like how Yami takes over Yugi's body. I allowed her and observed from my soul room.
"Shadi my trusted advisor and protector," the spirit of the crystal said.
"Princess Jhada," he said bowing to her, "You have returned."
"Yes I have. That must mean my brother and the balance is being threatened once more," Jhada said.
"Yes Princess it is, but I must tell you that your brother does not remember much from his previous life," Shadi said, "And your Aibou has her own secret as well."
"Thank you. I must speak with my Hikari now," Jhada said to the Egyptian man.
"Good-bye Princess and be careful," he said before disappearing.
'' Jhada? ''
'Yes Hikari?'
''Are you truly Pharaoh Yami's sister? Are the stories true? ''
'Yes I am, but what stories?'
'' How you died… ''
'Oh those stories. I died when my soul was pulled into the crystal you wear.'
'' Wow ''
'Do you want to change back?'
'' Naw. I will let you go ahead and explore. Seeing as it's been 5, 000 years since you last saw civilization, ''
'Thank you. Shadi said that you have a secret.'
'' I do. I came from a different dimension where this world is not real, but an anime. ''
'Anime?'
'' A cartoon, make believe, not real. ''
'Then how are you here?'
'' I am not sure, but this item I received in my world plus a Duel Monsters invitation, ''
'Duel Monsters…hmm sounds like the Shadow Games from my time which I was pretty good at.'
'' Duel Monsters is the new version of the Shadow Games you could say. ''
' So you are participating then?'
'' No ''
' Why not?'
'' I gave Yugi Motou, the Pharaoh's hikari, friend my invitation so he could participate instead ''
'Why would you do that? From the way you speak you love dueling.'
'' Because he will benefit more than I will from the tournament, ''
' It will be fine, now where have I taken us?'
'' Right to Kaiba Corp. Seto Kaiba owns this building and many others as well. ''
'Amazing… Seto? Sorcerer Seto's reincarnation perhaps?'
'' Possibly, but I'm not sure though. I really don't know him too well. ''
'Where to now?'
''Somewhere to eat would be nice ''
'Very well. I will allow you to take over so I do not get us lost.'
'' Okay. ''
I felt myself take over my body and the spirit go into her soul room. I headed towards Kaiba Land remembering a pizza parlor there. I walked in and saw Jenni sitting with Joey and everyone, except for Malik. She spotted me and ran over. I tried to step out not wanting to face Yugi and his friends, but she pulled me over to the group. Tea pulled out a cell phone and called someone. I sat down reluctantly and kept quiet.
"Thank you Jade," Joey said, "Without the invitation I couldn't of…"
Tristin hit the blond upside the head, "Joey!"
"It's okay," I said quietly.
"Why did you leave? Malik is worried about you," Yugi asked.
"Um I just needed to think was all. I am sorry if I worried you," I said.
"It's okay, but we need to go back to Kaiba Land so you can register for the tournament," Yugi said.
"What?! Ho-how? I don't have an invitation," I sputtered out.
"Mokuba got you another one. I think he is quite taken with you," Yugi explained, "And he told me to drag you there if you refuse."
"Okay, but right now I am starving," I told the group.
"Well here come the pizza and Malik," Jenni said.
I leaned into Jenni and whispered, "We need to talk."
She nodded before reaching for a slice, "Wheeler hands off that's mine."
"Ha ha Anderson not likely," Joey said and grabbed the piece before Jenni did.
She growled before beaning Joey with a well aimed spit ball, "HA! Now it's mine."
She grabbed it and shoved half the piece into her mouth. Yugi, Bakura, Tea, and Malik stared in amazement. Tristin, Joey, and Jenni were competing to see who could eat the most. I just laughed at their antics knowing Jenni will probably win. I ate my one slice in silence feeling the presence of Yami. I looked up and saw him, Bakura, and Marik watching me. I shifted uncomfortably under their stares. I stood up and excused myself to the restroom. Jenni followed me worried that something was wrong. Once we entered the restroom she locked the door.
"Alright Ishtar spill. What went on after I left you?" she demanded.
"Okay, okay," I began, "I met Malik Ishtar and he showed me around Domino City, took me to Yugi's place, and then Kaiba Land. I was separated, found Mokuba Kaiba who has invited me to dinner by the way."
"You're invited to have dinner with the Kaiba's?!" Jenni squealed.
"Yeah, I am, but back to what I was saying…"
Jenni interrupted me again, "Wow the Kaiba's, amazing. Do you think I can get an autograph. Please…"
"Jenni, focus," I stated waving my hand in front of her face.
"Sorry Silverfox," she said, "Continue."
"Well then Mokuba found Malik and brought me to him. I met Yugi and company then went to register, gave Joey my invitation and then met Shadi," I told Jenni catching my breath.
"Shadi? You mean appear out of nowhere and use his key thingy to unlock you mind, Shadi?" Jenni asked.
"The one and only. He wanted to find out if I was worthy of the Millennium Item I carried," I told her, "He used the key which was just plain strange…"
Jennie gasped and pointed at something behind me, "A-a ghost…"
"Ghost? What are you talking about?" I questioned.
"Behind you," Jenni said backing up till she hit the door.
I turned around and saw a transparent version of myself, except my eyes were more crimson then amber and I wore Egyptian style clothing. There were many bracelets on my arms and around my ankles. I raised an eyebrow in amusement realizing this was Jhada, the Millennium Crystal's spirit. No matter how many times you saw it on the show, I guess it is kinda freaky in real life.
"Jenni meet Princess Jhada, my yami," I said.
"Huh!" Jenni said nearly floored.
"She is the spirit in my millennium item, the Millennium Crystal and also Pharaoh Yami's younger sister," I explained.
Jenni slowly stepped closer to Jhada, "Princess Jhada, you're the one I saw on the tablet in the museum. Wow, this is really cool and look she's even taller than you Silverfox."
"Gee, thanks for reminding me," I said glaring at her, "You know I think we should get back before Tea comes looking for us. Or even Ryou Bakura."
I saw Jenni start blushing at the mention of Bakura's name, "I…well…um, yeah we should…"
"Jhada I think you should try and talk to the Pharaoh and warn him of the evil," I told my dark before she went into the crystal.
"I will, later or tomorrow," she said before disappearing into the crystal.
Jenni unlocked the door and we went back to the table. Joey, Tea, and Tristin had already left because they had to work. So we were left with Bakura, Malik, and Yugi/Yami. I sat down and drank part of my Coke and waited for the bill. When it came I paid my part and Yugi led the way back to Kaiba Land.
"Hey Jen, how did you meet up with Yugi and his friends?" I asked quietly so the boys wouldn't hear.
"After your dinner with the Kaiba's I have to talk to you. By the way you want to stay with me?" she asked me.
"Yeah since I don't have any where to stay right now," I told her, "So have you talked to Ryou yet?"
"Um…no," she said shyly.
"Then go over there," I told her.
"On one condition, you ask Malik on a date," she said smiling slyly.
"What are you talking about?" I questioned trying to hide my blush at the thought of Malik and myself on a date.
"I see how you look at him and always blush at the mention of his name or when you see his…" she stopped when I covered her mouth with my hand.
'You know she is right,' Jhada piped in.
'' Don't you start as well, '' I snapped back.
'Hey just an observation,' Jhada said going back into her soul room.
"Okay, okay. Once you talk to Bakura and I mean hold a normal conversation," I told her removing my hand from her mouth.
"Okay…" she said but didn't make a move towards the white haired British boy.
"Go on," I said pushing her towards Bakura.
Jenni walked up to the teen and walked next to him. I got a little closer to hear what was being said. Which at the moment was just about nothing at all.
"Um…" Jenni began not sure what to say to the white haired teen.
I stifled a giggle at how difficult she was making it when Bakura started talking, "Uh…Jenni is it?"
"Yes, but call me Jen," she responded.
"So do you… um…" he stammered.
'Oh for Ra's sake,' Bakura (Yami Bakura that is) told his Hikari before forcing the switch.
"Jen do you want to go for a walk in the park?" he asked.
'I can't believe I am doing this sappy crap,' he thought to himself, 'But I can't let on to the Pharaoh that I have returned from the Shadow Realm.'
"Sure," Jen said allowing Bakura to lead her away from the group.
I smiled to myself seeing Jenni talking with Ryou Bakura. What seemed strange though is that Yugi, Joey, Tea and Tristin all seemed to know Jenni quite well. Malik and Bakura only seemed to have met her recently though. That's probably why she wants to talk to me tonight. Myself, Yugi, and Malik all walked in silence. I think I will wait till tomorrow to ask him out, that is if I even have the nerve to. I saw the entrance to Kaiba Land and we paid to get in.
"Um guys wait up," I said not wanting to get lost once again.
We headed to the dueling arenas hoping to locate Mokuba there. I saw Rex Raptor dueling an older male and many other duels going on as well. I stopped to watch a woman with blond hair dressed very skimpy end her duel with an attack from her Harpy Lady Sisters. She jumped down from the platform and approached Yugi.
"Hey there short stuff," the woman shouted out.
"Oh hey Mai, what are you doing here?" Yugi asked.
"Just waiting for the line to register to clear up some," she said, "And who's the shrimp?"
I was about to slug her, but Malik held me back, "I am not a shrimp."
"Well true, but you are short," she said, "So what's your name. I don't think you want the name shrimp to permanetely be it."
"Jhada," I said shortly.
"Well Jhada mine's Mai…Mai Valentine, the best well dressed duelist around," Mai said.
"I guess modesty isn't one of your strong points is it. I mean most people don't flaunt their down falls, their weaknesses," I told her coldly sounding a lot like Seto Kaiba.
"An what would you know about dueling. As far as I can see you don't have a duelist bone in your body," Mai told me, "I'll bet you a booster pack that you can't beat a kid I choose."
I smirked at her, "Your on."
"Hmm let me see," Mai said looking at the crowd then she smiled slyly when she saw the perfect duelist, "Him."
She walked over to a teen with darkly tanned skin, wild black hair, and who wore a wetsuit and shorts. She brought him over after talking briefly with him. Yugi's eyes went wide in surprise and worry. Yami then took over and looked at me. I couldn't read his eyes though, it was almost as if he was hiding something.
"Jhada, Mako has agreed to duel you," Mai said, "Now we just need an empty arena."
We found one near the edge of the area and I stepped onto the blue platform. Before it rose up Yami came up to me.
"Jade be careful. He's a water duelist and is very cunning. I have dueled him and very nearly lost," Yami said, "We'll be here cheering you on and believe in the Heart of the Cards."
"Thanks," I told him.
'Jade do you want me to take over?' Jhada asked in curiosity.
'' No, I will duel myself, but I am not beyond suggestions on moves, '' I responded.
"So you think you can duel?" Mako asked snidely.
I just smirked at him, "I'll let you go first.
"Very well," he said.
"Let's Duel!" we both shouted out at the same time.
