The Plot Thickens, Stir 10 minutes, and Bring to a Simmer
The rest of us followed him out of the game shop. We hurried over to Jenni's, but never made it further than Domino High School before she met us. Her eyes were red and puffy denoting the fact that she was crying. I ran to her side and knew something wasn't entirely right with my friend. The first is kind of obvious, she's crying in public. The next is the fact that she is wearing a dark colored hooded robe. She had a pained look in her eyes as she looked at us.
"Jenni?" I asked.
"I am sorry Jhada," she said using my full name, "I have failed you."
"Huh?" I said now truly confused, "What are you talking about?"
"They have one of the dragons. Take this," she said placing two cards into my hands, "I must go before I am found missing."
"Jenni? What's wrong and what do you mean 'found missing'? By whom," I started.
"Marik… beware the ancient evil…" she said before vanishing in a cloud of mist.
"Okay what just happened here?" Joey said.
"Jenni is under Marik's control," I said softly, "She managed to fight them long enough to bring me the other magician card."
"So now what? I mean can we actually go after them?" Tristin said.
I shook my head, "No. Now we wait. They probably won't strike until the tournament. They need my cards and me and Osiris knows I cannot be forced to help him."
"Alright then let's get over to the mall. I'm starved," Joey proclaimed.
Everyone shook their heads as we watched Joey and Tea said, "Alright then let's go before Joey begins eating off his arm or something."
"Hey guys I'll meet up with you later okay," I said, "I have a prior appointment that I need to keep."
"Okay, Jade, but be careful," Yugi said.
I waved to them and ran to Kaiba Land where I knew Mokuba would be waiting. I felt Jhada stir in my mind and knew that I was correct in assuming the spell is similar to one of the spell cards from the Duel Monsters game. In a few minutes she should be free. I went into Kaiba Land and was met by Mokuba who was smiling extremely big. I hugged him before he led me outside to the awaiting limo. We got in and Mokuba began talking excitedly.
"Hey Mokuba do you think we could go to the mall?" I inquired of the young Kaiba sibling.
"Sure," he said, "I'm sure Yugi and the gang are there anyway."
"Thank you," I told him.
Soon we arrived outside of the Domino Mall and went inside. He led me to the food court and we saw Joey eating pizza as usual. Everyone else just watched in disgust. There was two new faces sitting around the table. One looked like Joey some what only difference was the fact she was a girl. The other male had brown hair, soft eyes, and a mischievous grin. We went to the table and sat down. The brown haired boy stared me down and I was getting very annoyed.
'Aibou would you please tell your emotions to calm down. They are giving me a headache,' Jhada said from her soul room.
'' Gomen, and how do you feel anyways? '' I inquired of her.
'Like I was hit by a runaway chariot,' she responded.
I chuckled at her choice of words, ''You and your brother need a lesson in modern phraseology. ''
'Whatever. I think I am going to sleep now,' she responded before closing the link.
"Hey Jade have you met Duke Devlin yet?" Trisin asked.
"Now what do you think baka," I responded.
"Oh yeah sorry," he said, "Duke Devlin, Jhada Ishtar."
"Nice to meet you," he said and reached for my hand.
"If you want to keep that hand please remove it from mine," I told him.
"Sorry," he said withdrawing his hand.
"Hey Mokuba can you clue us fellow duelists in on what the tournament is like," Joey inquired.
"Joey you know I can't. Seto would be very upset with me if I did," Mokuba said, "Now I need food."
"Come on Mokuba, you're beginning to sound like the eat-everything-in-sight twins there," I commented motioning to Tristin and Joey.
"Ah Jade, but I'm hungry," he said using his puppy dog eye on me once again.
"Oh by he's got you with the eyes now," Mai said coming up behind me.
"Hi Mai," I said, "Alright Mokuba let's go eat."
We got up from the table and waved bye to the group. Mokuba led me deeper into the mall and right to one of the evening wear stores. I was puzzled at the reason behind him leading me here. He went in and spoke to one of the store clerks and she led me to the woman's section. Soon I had a pile of dresses to try on. The woman led me into one dressing room before leaving. I heard Mokuba waiting outside and guessed I was supposed to model the dresses for him. I grabbed the first one and put it on. The dress was a sea foam green color and was a full skirt. I stepped out of the room and Mokuba made a face at the dress.
I fully agreed on how bad the dress looked. After an hour and a growing pile of dresses I found one at the bottom of the pile that may have potential. I put on the bronze colored dress on and noticed that it had roses and vines in crimson and silver embroidered all over it. The dress was a long Chinese style with an open back and a slit up the left leg. I was surprised at how nice it looked an it brought out the color in my eyes. I stepped out and Mokuba just watched in silence. I knew he liked it and so did I. I changed back into my clothes and came out. Mokuba grabbed the dress and instructed me to get shoes, jewelry, hair items, and any thing else needed for the dress. I did as instructed and soon we were back in the limo eating burgers.
"Okay spill little man," I said to him.
"Tonight I'm taking you and Seto out to eat and you needed the proper attire," he told me.
"Oh okay then. Can you drop me off at your brother's office. Please," I said giving him my own puppy dog eyes.
I saw him falter under my gaze, "Sure."
"Thank you," I hugged him in thanks.
We stopped in front of Kaiba Corp. and Mokuba said my stuff will be taken to Kaiba Mansion. I said bye before walking in. I was stopped by security, but was soon allowed to pass. I went up to Seto's office and knocked on the door.
"Enter," I heard from beyond the door.
I went in and saw Seto typing away on his laptop. I sat down across form his desk and waited for him to finish. I sat in silence for about ten minutes before getting up and coming around behind his chair. I saw schematics for his new duel invention on the screen. He looked up from the screen and saw me leaning over his shoulder.
"Hello Seto," I said walking back to the front of the desk.
"Good afternoon Jade," he said, "Lunch done with Mokuba?"
"I would like to know where he learned that shopping for clothing is considered lunch," I commented, "And I have a feeling that you had a hand in his 'lunch' plans."
"I had no clue," he said his face a blank mask.
"Uh huh," I said disbelievingly, "So what time is dinner?"
"We are going at about five, why?" he inquired.
"I was just curious," I answered and then got serious, "Seto have you heard from Sorcerer today?"
I saw his eyes go blank and then refocus on me, "I just tried to contact him and I received no answer, but that is not unusual though."
"I think Sorcerer is in trouble," Jhada said materializing in the office.
"Why do you say that?" Seto asked her.
I piped in, "Because Osiris has Bakura and Marik on his side. Also he spellbound Yami and Bakura beat him up. And Jhada also was spellbound, but fought the spell."
"The Pharaoh overcome by this man Osiris is unheard of," Seto commented, "But if you think he is in trouble then what can be done?"
"Well Yugi was able to take me to his soul room and then into Yami's. We could probably do the same, but I am not certain," I told him.
"Let me see if I can find him first before we begin the jumping into my head," Seto said quickly.
"I could accompany you if you want," Jhada said to the C.E.O.
I looked at him concerned for Sorcerer written on my face. He sighed in defeat and held his hand to Jhada. Soon she disappeared and Seto's eyes went blank. I began pacing the floor and hoped that they were okay. I waited fifteen minutes before I saw Sorcerer materialize in front of me. Jhada soon followed and Seto's eyes returned to normal. I hugged the shocked dark just happy he had returned unharmed. I let him go a blush creeping across my cheeks darkening my Egyptian skin.
"Where were you Sorcerer?" I asked, "Were you okay? Marik or Bakura didn't harm you…"
Sorcerer held up his hand to halt my questions, "Why all the questions?"
"There is a new evil trying to take over the world as usual," Seto said bored.
"Oh," Sorcerer said, "I was in the Shadow Realm checking on things there. But why questions about Marik and Bakura?"
I launched into my explanation on what happened up until now leaving out my nightmare though. Jhada and Sorcerer were both staring in shock at what I said. I sat down on the chair and waited for one of the darks to say something.
"Seto are these two, Marik and Bakura in the tournament?" Sorcerer inquired.
"They are. Osiris is as well apparently," Seto said annoyed, "Meaning someone has hacked into my computer again."
"Seto," I began softly, "I need to ask you to check your deck for me."
Seto took out his deck, "Why?"
"Please just look through it and tell me if any unusual cards come up," I told him my eyes pleading with him.
"Very well," he said looking through his deck.
I pulled out the second card that Jenni gave me and saw that it was the magic card, Fusion Gate. I knew that this was the only one in existence in this world. It was too powerful for regular distribution in this dimension because then you could fuse any card combo together you want. I heard Seto gasp and looked up at him. There sitting on the desk was the other dragon, Dragon of Courage. He stared at it shell shocked at the card's appearance in his carefully planned out deck. I stood up in a daze, the Sennen eye appearing on my forehead, and went toward the card. I dropped the Fusion Gate card to the floor as my fingers brushed the cards surface. I felt an unusual pull as I felt my body disappearing. My feet touched the ground and I blinked my eyes a few times. I looked around and saw…
