*bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang *

"Damn it" Kiarou gets more and more pissed as he trys to sleep in the

inner mind of bakura.

"how the hell am I supposed get some sleep around here"

Kiarou rolls over and trys to get some more sleep , a figure enters the

room.

The figured silently picked up kiarous deck and looked at it,

"Where have I seen this before...." the figured chuckled. "Now for a little fun"

The figure took his index finger, and ran it from Kiarou's bed,

up the wall and out the door the figure came back into the room

he took his hand, and slowly wave over Kiarou, a blue aura appeared around

kiarou.

The figure grins, takes out a knive twirls it and vanishs.

Back in future

Vertigo watchs the replay over and over and over again with no avail.

"Where the hell did they go" he muttered.

*Knock knock knock*

Lox walked in "Sir serenity and tristen are here ...They are wondering where their son is"

Vertigo sighed " Thats what Im trying to figure out.......Let them In...."

Serenity walks in followed by tristen both wearing wedding rings .

Serenity began to speak but Tristen interupted,

"Where is he?"

Lox gave a funny look and left the room.

Vertigo grabbed a remote and changed the Giant TV screen to show what he was watching

on his computer.

"The camera caught this....."

maraku was chasing kiarou as maraku cornerd him in Storage room #8 kiarou grabbed the Paralell

ring ,maraku grabbed the rod and they fought when a 3rd person jumped in the fight

and kiarou stepped on something when a bright white light appeared and then all three were lying on

the ground.

"What happend" asked serenity

Vertigo turned to her and shrugged his shoulders " He activated that item shadi had me protecting "

"I dont know what happend after that"

Lox re-entered the room "Boss we need you in the white room" She winked at him and waved him over

vertigo turned to Tristen ,

"Please excuse me I have a problem to resolve. I shall return in a moment"

Tristen and serenity continued to watch the replaying video.

Suddenly a portal appears and Tristen and serenity turn in suprise to see shadi standing there

before them.

"Tristen....Serenity...My millinium Items led me here

Serenity began Crying " what has happend to our son!"

" He has worn the Ring of mages aslo known as the paralell ring it was made to protect the other millinum items

unfortuneatly it was created with dark magic which cause the bearer of such paralell mage items turn evil, "

Tristen started to become angry " What the hell are we supposed to do!"

" I shall go back in time and do what I can But to do not trust to hope the mage ring may have allready claimed

his soul , "

Serenity began crying again and tristen held her close , shadi began to walk towards another portal

"Im sorry.....I tried to protect him " He thought "Such a tragedy...It must be his fate to follow his fathers footsteps,

To honor the wishs of a dying man was the honorable thing to do maybe it was the wrong thing to do..... only time shall tell"

Shadi walked into the portal and disappeard.

************************************************************************************************************************

Lox and vertigo were walking down the hallway towards the white roo

"Did you notice that the ring is missing as well as the rod?" vertigo asked lox

"no" lox said confused

"I am curious though.....How did the evil spirit of the millinium ring get into kiarous body

and what about the spirit of evil marik go into maraku and mariks spirit go into the body of

otega???"

Vertigo stoped and looked around to make sure nobody was listening

"Its simple when the controller was activated kiarou was holding the ring so the ring and his spirit went into another body

Im guessing into the millinium ring that bakura holds"

"But what about marik"

"Otega and maraku were both holding the rod when the controller was activated the spirit of

the evil marik went into marakus body while the spirit of marik went into the body of otega"

They began to walk towards the white room again

voices began to appear from the room ahead

"I demand to be relased at once! " said a dark and mysterious voice

"oh shut up you fool at least your evil half is no longer in your body"

Lox gave vertigo a curious look " how much longer are we gonna keep them here?"

vertigo laughed " Until I get all of the mage items that with the puzzle to create what I need"

Back in the past aboard the stratos blimp

**************************************************************************************************

A bright blue aura is around kiarou as he gets up to get him a snack

In yugis room,

Yugi turns over trying hard to get some sleep as the mysterious figure appears from no where and

picks up yugis deck

He looks at it and says

"I may regret this but I want this to be a fair"

he then slips 2 cards into yugis deck.

again the figure takes out a knive twirls it and vanishs.

"ooahha!" yugi yawns as he gets up to get a drink of water.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

yugi jumped back

"what the hell was that???"

Yugi turned down the hallway as kiarou ran past yugi full speed down the hallway screaming,

with mai and tea giggling in short pursuit.

"come back kiarou!!!" giggled tea

"YEAH!" mai yelled "All we want is a hug!! "

"what the hell is going on??" yugi said

Joey walks outside his door "Some of us are TRYING to SLE...."

*WHAM!!!*

Joey slammed right into mai as she ran around the corner, they both hit the ground pretty hard,

the way they landed their lips just happend to touch.

They both jumped faces red and joey ran back into his room embarassed as mai looked on with a confused look.

Meanwhile tea was gaining on kiarou...

Kiarou crys out in a whining voice " why are you chasin me???"

"hee hee hee your soooooo cute when you run" tea giggled

Kiarou ran faster only to run into serenity

"Not so fast cute guy!"

Kiarou stood silent and shocked

He shivered a reply

"nooo......" he tried to duck behind her but it was too late tea moved in from behind and tackled him

Otega and seto who was watching couldnt help but laugh, as tea mai and serenity dragged kiarou back

to their room kiarou screaming the whole way.....

******************************************************************************************************

at 5 Minutes to midnight kiraou (the blue aura had faded) mangaged to sneak out of tea's mais and serenity's room

he met otega in the hallway.

Otega laughed "How did it go" he winked

Kiarou gave him a nasty look " nothing happend...........they just tied me up to thier bed and slept right beside me......."

Otega laughed harder " yeah SLEPT beside you"

kiarou rolled his eyes " Think that all you want nothing happend"

otega regained his composer "well why were they chasing you in the first place"

"I dont know but I felt something.........different....."

Everybody was beging to wake up and leave their rooms as a anouncement was made
