Jericho was staring out the window. She noticed there was a ladder leading down from her self-inflicted prison cell. "Thank the Gods for fire escapes," she whispered. She opened the window and grabbed the deck she'd hidden Gabriela's card in. Suddenly, there was a sharp rap on the door.

"Jeri? Jeri. I know you're mad at me, but that's no excuse for locking yourself up again." Tori sighed. "Look, Jericho, Can't you just hold off on the "World War III" thing for just a little while?" Sara started talking very loudly from downstairs.

"NO! YOU CAN'T SEE HER RIGHT NOW! SHE'S A LITTLE BUSY AND SHE'LL NEED HER SLEEP. NO, SORRY, SHE REALLY NEEDS TO BE ALONE FOR A LITTLE WHILE."

Tori started running down the stairs. She stopped short when she saw who was trying to go upstairs. She started talking in Egyptian. "Pharaoh? THE Pharaoh?" Yugi looked up at her, finally noticing she was in the room. Yami could understand perfectly what she was saying. He emerged from the puzzle. Then he saw the head of the Falcon show from around Sara's neck.

"Who are you?" he asked in a demanding tone. He could sense that she was an ancient spirit.

She continued speaking in Egyptian. "I am Tori. Sir, I understand perfectly well that you want to see her, hey, I even understand why, but I'm afraid that she doesn't remember her past very well, least of all you and it's safest right now if you just…." She noticed how oddly he was staring at her. "You mean… You don't remember?" He shook his head dazedly. "Oh…" her hazel blue eyes reflected the sorrow in her heart. "I'd hoped… nothing? I was sure you'd remember and then maybe you could…are you sure you don't remember her?" Tori just couldn't believe that the Pharaoh wouldn't remember Jericho. Then she heard something outside.

"RA! IF YOU HAVE ANY SYMPATHY FOR ONE OF YOUR OBEDIENTS, PLEASE BRING BACK THAT CARD!" Tori looked out the window.

"Oh my Great Goddesses, I can't believe that she would actually climb out the window…" Tori started running up the stairs, the group of kids following her.

~*~*~

Jericho started down the Fire escape right after Tori started down the stairs. She stepped out on the platform and grabbed the ladder, slowly and unsurely lowering it to the next platform. Once it was secure, She half ran half fell down the steps. She had her deck tucked into her tight leather pants. It was a snug fit, but nothing she was sure she couldn't handle. When she hit the platform, she stumbled and hit the rail, hanging over at her mid-rift. She caught her breath for a moment, but that was all it took. Then the wind picked up. The next thing Jericho knew, one of the cards from her deck was flying out on the wind. She could sense immediately which card it was. "RA! IF YOU HAVE ANY SYMPATHY FOR ONE OF YOUR OBEDIENTS, PLEASE BRING BACK THAT CARD!" she shouted out. The card was, in fact, the Angel of Joy, the card containing Jericho's light, the one she had tried to protect. "Oh dear Gods… I can barely sense her now… How do I find her?" Tears started sliding down Jericho's cheeks silently. She felt someone place a gentle hand on her shoulder. She swung around in a panic, only to be met by a friendly pair of gray, blue eyes and fluffy blue hair as Safira offered comfort.

Safira smiled reassuringly. "I know. That was Gabriela. And you are her Yami." Jericho stood there with her mouth hanging open for a minute. Safira pointed up. On the roof of the building was the Tori Hikari. "She said you needed some help. And a friend." Safira held out her hand. "I'm sure we'll find Gabriela a lot faster if we work together." Jeri smiled and shook Safira's hand.

"I'm glad she told you and that you want to help. Thank you." Together they climbed down the rest of the stairs, and then set out in the city to find Gabriela's card.

Tori was looking down at them from the window. "Good Luck, Jeri." she whispered. Then she shut the window and went back in the house. 'Master said that it wasn't time for them to confront each other yet.' she thought to reassure herself that letting Jericho get away was the best thing for her right now.

Callie walked through a crowd trying to get home from work. Her body shook for a moment as she sensed something then she acted as if nothing had changed.

{Oh, Anubis?} she contacted her brother's Yami while fingering the ring around her neck. It was a ring you would usually wear around your finger, but her brother's fingers were much bigger than Callie's. Zachary had died a few years ago in Egypt. He was working on a excavation team. He had just found the Scarab Ring and realized that someone was after his life when he had sent the ring to Callie so that the Yami inside would protect her.

[Yes, Callie?] Anubis answered. He, Callie, and Zachary all looked relatively the same, as far as color of hair, eyes and powers. Callie had Empathic powers. She could get out of the stickiest situations by controlling the other person's emotions. Anubis had used this power in his stealing when he was in Egypt. He looked at Callie as if she were his little sister instead of his dead Hikari's.

{We have company…}

[Who would that be?] She could practically hear her brother's yami cracking his knuckles in anticipation.

{Our favorite little thorn-in-the-side. Marik.} Suddenly, Marik began running toward her. {Crud!} Callie began running in the opposite direction.

[Persistent little whelp, isn't he?] Anubis was as excited about seeing their "little friend" as Callie. [You'd think he'd get tired of stalking us after, what, three years?]

Callie ducked into an alleyway and noticed a light card on the ground. {Hey, Anubis! Check this out! It must be a superior rare card! I've never even heard of this one! The Angel of Joy…} She shoved it in her deck as Marik came around the corner and stopped before her.

"Hello, again, Callie. I suppose you're ready to hand over the Scarab Ring now, right?" His purple eyes looked like they were trying to stare holes into her.

Callie stifled a yawn. "Not on your life, Marik." Anubis, as if to second that notion, appeared beside her.

"You heard the lady, Marik, Get lost." Anubis pointed his thumb in the direction Marik had come from.

"Aw… Too bad I don't want to, huh?" He pulled out his deck. "Why don't we duel to find out who stays and who goes….To the Shadow realm!" Callie started warming up her Empathic power, not really wanting to get into a duel so soon after work.

"But, Marik, have pity on a poor girl? I just got off of work, on my feet all the time. Please?" Her voice was so lilting and inviting, and so sweet it was practically oozing. Her eyes were working with her voice, making mercy flash across his eyes for a split second.

"You won't get me this time, you little wench. Let's duel!" Callie got really angry.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?" Anubis had to stifle a laugh. "YOU'LL EAT THOSE WORDS YOU JERK!" She pulled out her deck and began shuffling. The first Card he summoned was a Humanoid Slime.

Callie looked at her hand. 'Hey, I have that new card in my hand… It's not a fighter like my other cards, but what the heck.' "I summon The Angel of Joy, IN ATTACK MODE!"

Right away, Callie knew that something wasn't right about this monster. When she was summoned, she looked thoroughly confused and turned around and around, trying to figure out what was going on. It's attack power was 2000, so it could've easily defeated the slime without Marik calling on anything else to stop her. 'That monster had better hurry up. Marik's head is still hazy from my power, but if she doesn't hurry, he'll figure out what mistake he made!'

Marik had already realized what was so different about this monster. It wasn't a monster. "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT CARD, WENCH?" H expected her to yell back that she'd gotten in fair and square, which he knew would have been a lie. "I'll tell you what. You give me that card, and I'll leave you alone. Deal?"

Anubis knew the minute the Angel was summoned that she was a human in disguise. He had been using the time to get around Marik and whacked him over the head. Marik hit the ground with a thud.

"Callie! Let me see that card!" Callie handed the card to Anubis and he walked up to the Angel. "How did this happen to you? I know you aren't a monster. Who are you?"

Gabriela sighed. "My name is Gabriela Fremon. My yami was trying to protect me. How did I get here?" Callie shrugged.

Anubis studied Gabriela for a moment. "Did you have a Millennium Beast on you, Gabby?"

"Yes. The One Eyed Cat. What do you know about the MB's?" Callie held up the Scarab Ring.

"More than we really want to." She answered.
