Black Star- Hey guys! I'm back and school's out and I'm feeling just great! ^___^

Yami Star- Well, it's not like you started any new stories or anything, right?

Black Star- Um… O_O() About that… Since the last time I posted, my stories some how multiplied from 3 to 7. Eh heh… ^_^()()

Yami Star- Oh boy… I see a major swamping in your future, Blacky.

Black Star- It's just like me to do this to myself! I'm just so review hungry! It's because I didn't have enough attention as a small child!

Yami Star- Well, at least every single one of your grades came up on your last report card or your parents would have banned you from the internet for all eternity!

Black Star- Well, anyway, I have some people I would like to thank and reply to their reviews.

Subeiko- O_O() Wow… You ask a lot of questions, huh? Well, I'm glad you asked. I'm using Yami as both a type and a name. See, I meant to not capitalize it every time I meant type, but my stupid computer won't let me do that, so I got really messed up. Sorry for the confusion. And you'll find out what exactly a Millenium Beast is in the next few chapters. Not everyone's has a spirit in it, but that's because I haven't made them all yet… ^_^() I have a really good idea to bring Pegasus's Eye into this…

Okane Megumi- You guys all owe her for giving me the idea of Ami, the owner of the Cobra MB. I probably would have screwed it up without her… Just like me, ne?

Seasyngr (Or something like that v_v())- She is partially responsible for Callie (I'm not giving you full credit because I had the idea first and you stole it out of my head!) and fully responsible for Safira. Thank you! You guys won't believe this, but last time I updated, she reviewed in less than 5 minutes! I'm serious! I timed it!

Yami Tenshi- She has probably been here reviewing for me every since I started. I started reading her story long ago, before I figured out how to post stories, so I'm wondering if she isn't just being nice to me… (Suspicious glare) But I KNOW she wouldn't do that, right? ^_^

Gema J. Gall- I'm so sorry about the ff.net people messing up your account! That really bites! But you were always giving me encouragement, and I love your Pokemon fics! They are just so cool!

Black Mistress- You used to have a really confusing name, and you stopped reviewing for a while so I thought you didn't like the story anymore, but You Came Back! :hugs BM: I'm so happy!

You've all been wonderful and helpful! I hope that you will continue reviewing me even when I get my first flame! (This hasn't happened yet… People are so nice! ^__^) I'll continue writing till I no longer have the strength to go on! On with the show!

~*~

Jericho and Safira had been looking all over for the card and now the sun was starting to set. "Jericho, I understand that we have to find her, but if we keep going like this, we definitely won't find her. We have to rest and maybe get something to eat. I'm not trying to complain, but this isn't healthy. Gabriela would want us to stay safe." They had fine combed over half of Domino in a few short hours. Tori Hikari was roosting on a rooftop and looking about wearily.

Jericho stared into the sun. She knew Safira was right, but she felt responsible for her hikari's position. She had been the one who wanted to put her in the card in the first place. She watched Safira sink onto a bench and the corners of her mouth lifted a little. "You are just like someone I used to know." She whispered.

Safira jerked her head around. "Who?" She asked, trying to get Jericho's mind off Gabriela.

"Someone from my past. She was a good friend of mine. She acted as the only mother I remember. The High Priest called her his Dragon Tamer, but I always knew her as Sadeh." She heard Safira gasp at that name. "What is it?" She asked, concern in her voice as well as in her eyes.

"I know that name… It came to me in a vision!" Safira said excitedly. "Sadeh! She was a poor girl in the market and she was being attacked. Three metallic coloured dragons helped her and the Blue Eyes brought her to his master! Other than that, I have no idea…"

Jericho smiled. "Yes. That was how Sadeh first showed up at the palace. I remember when she first began working there. She began doing odd jobs for the High Priest. Running errands and the like. I had begun creating monsters for the Pharaoh. He had demanded it in exchange for Tori's safety. Unfortunately, the High Priest was angry that he, with all his magic and experience, could not control the monsters I created. After Sadeh had been brought to the palace, they noticed that all the monsters seemed to be on a link with her. They had all found a special connection to this girl and befriended her. It didn't take long for the High Priest to realise how valuable this was. It also didn't take him long to realise that she was in love with him. No one to this day knows if he ever really returned that love, but he did use it to his advantage.

After she began to convince the monsters to fight for him, he called her his little Dragon Tamer, because he noticed that her specialty was with Dragon monsters. I believe the Blue Eyes know about their relationship more than anyone else, but their loyalty to both caused them to never reveal any trace of the truth." Jericho looked up. Safira's grey/blue eyes were gazing off into nothingness.

"I remember, but I don't Remember, you know? It's like a memory from a dream, pictures and sounds and a few feelings, but it doesn't seem real."

"Sadeh and I became close. We were going to escape together and take Tori with us, but then she developed feelings for the High Priest. I can't… Gah!" She held her head. "Where did that come from? Oh Ra this hurts!" She held the side of her head in agony.

"What is it, Jericho? What's wrong?!" Safira was nest to her in a moment, trying to move her hand so she could see what was the matter.

"I tried to remember why I hadn't left with Tori, but then… OW!" Her head began throbbing again.

Safira guided Jericho to the bench to sit down. "That's what happens when you run around all day without food or rest." She chastised.

She had just sat Jericho down when a Limo pulled up next to them. The window rolled down and Mokuba poked his head out. "Hey? Gabriela? You okay?"

Safira turned around. "She's fine, Mokuba, she's just tired and hasn't had anything to eat."

Mokuba opened the car door and Safira saw Seto inside. "You guys need a lift somewhere? To Gabriela's house or something?" Mokuba looked worriedly at Jericho, still holding her head, eyes closed for fear of the world spinning around her head.

"No." Jericho whispered. "We're not going back to my house. Not right now." Safira covered her mouth, hoping they hadn't heard.

"She's tired. And we've been looking for someone today. It's a long story." Safira grabbed Jericho's arm, about to lead her away.

Seto stood p out of the limo. "Then maybe she should see a doctor? She looks like she's in a lot of pain." His voice was monotone, but Safira could tell he didn't want her to leave.

"Big Brother and I were just on our way back to the mansion. If you guys need to rest, you should come with us." Mokuba could to an extent remember Safira's face from before, but not much more than that. He was mostly interested in the health of his favorite babysitter in a long while. "It's not safe for girls to be walking around town alone. Especially when it gets dark."

Safira turned to look at Seto to see his reaction. He just shrugged and got back in the limo. "Thank you, guys." Safira whispered, looking at Seto who had reverted to staring straight ahead.

"No problem." Mokuba said, grabbing Jericho's hand to help her into the limo. "I'm glad we got here before she passed out. When we get home, I'll help you guys get some food from the kitchen. We can put an ice pack on your head if it still hurts." He was just talking to Jericho now.

Safira was staring out the window, trying not to look at Seto. She wondered if he remembered her at all. 'Probably not, Safira,' she thought, 'Guys like him don't think twice about a ratty little orphan girl they'd met way back when. He's probably got a million other things to think about, a million other girls… Why would I care anyway? It's not like I expected him to care, or even be here for that matter. He probably doesn't even realise who I am.' she sighed silently and stared hard out the window, sneaking a sideways glance every now and again. 'It's nice to dream though…'

Soon they pulled into a long driveway and were coming to a stop in front of a huge mansion. Jericho still had her eyes closed and was holding her head. How she had managed to keep her stomach down, she wasn't sure. She kept trying to remember why she hadn't taken Tori and ran from the palace, but something, or someone, didn't want her to remember.

She held onto Mokuba's shoulder and climbed the steps into the Kiaba mansion. Once inside, Mokuba guided her to the couch and laid her down with a pillow behind her head. "I'll be right back with something to eat, okay?" He walked into a hallway and through a door.

Safira had followed them quietly and Seto had followed her, not really watching them, but looking through them. She kept wondering what he was thinking about that would make him so dazed and oblivious. She turned back, seeing if he was still following, to nearly collide with him. She knelt, picking up the brief case he had dropped. "I'm so sorry. I didn't realise you were so close behind me and I turned to see if you were coming and… I'm sorry."

If she had been looking up instead of at her toes, she would have seen him smile for an instant. "She's exactly the same as she used to be, hasn't changed a bit.' "Don't worry about it. Nothing's been damaged." He walked by her and up the stairs. 'She's still the same little girl who felt that she wasn't good enough for anyone.' Something about that bothered him though. He wasn't sure what, but something about that bothered him. She was a very nice looking young girl, not too shapely, but definitely not skinny. She had a child like quality that could make a person want to protect her.

He opened the door to his den and sat down at the computer. "Back to work." he said to himself, trying to push his other thoughts away, but some how, she kept resurfacing in his mind. He kept remembering the orphanage and the last time he had seen her. Had it really been so long ago? He shook his head. If he didn't get some work done he would fall so far behind it would take him months to catch back up.

Mokuba had come back to the living room, or what Jericho thought was the living room, with a tray of different kinds of food. She sat up slowly and he put the tray in front of her. "Here you go." He said cheerfully.

Jericho picked up a rice ball and munched thoughtfully. She pulled the cat out of her shirt and looked at it. 'Where are you, Gabriela?' The cat glowed for a moment and then became totally normal again. (Well, as normal as a cat statue with one eye, that is.)

~*~*~

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.

Gabriela studied the two for a moment. "Where did you find yours?" she asked suspiciously.

"My brother, Zachary. He was on an excavation team in Egypt. He had uncovered the ring and he had realised that someone was after him to get the ring. He sent it to me. That's why Anubis is a guy. The ring is rightfully my brother's, but due to unfortunate circumstances beyond our control, Zachary was murdered and I am left to take care of the prized possession that caused it. I think Marik had something to do with my brother's death, and it was Zachary's wish that he not get it, so I'll take care of it until I don't have to anymore." She looked at Anubis. "But strangely enough, sometimes I feel like Zachary never died at all."

Anubis studied Gabriela for a moment. "Well, Gabby, The only way to get you back to your original form, is to find your yami and have her restore you. Unfortunately, I have no idea where to find her."

Gabriela watched Callie finger the Scarab Ring, saying without thinking, "Don't call me Gabby. Do you know where I can find a pay phone? Maybe I can call home and see if she's still there?" Anubis nodded.

"We saw one earlier. Down the street I think." He grabbed Callie's shoulder. "Can I borrow your jacket for a minute, Callie?" She rolled her eyes and took it off. "Thank you. You can wear this to cover up those wings of yours."

Pulling the jacket close around her, Gabriela walked up to the payphone and dialled her number. The phone started ringing.

~*~*~

Tori guided the others away from the window. "It's okay. She's fine. Let her go."

"What?! She's in trouble and your just gonna leave her there?!" Joey shouted. "Some Friend!!"

Tori took a deep breath. "It's a long story. She'll be fine. This is something she has to do for herself. You'll understand later." She walked toward the kitchen. "In the mean time, I think Gabriela had some rice balls in here somewhere."

Yugi began speaking mentally with Yami. /Yami? I'm not sure I like the idea of leaving Gabriela alone.\

//I don't either, Yugi, but what choice do we have. I still don't fully understand what this Tori was talking about. I know it had something to do with my past, but how does she remember if I can't?\\

/Maybe she is like Isis, She can see it because of that Falcon thing around her neck./

//I'm not sure, but I think we should find out.//

Yugi followed Tori at a run, the others followed, confused.

"Why are we following her instead of going after Gabriela?" Tristan asked. "She obviously doesn't care about what happens to Gabriela."

Sara spoke up from behind them. "She cares. We both do. That's why we aren't going to follow her. Gabriela is just the type of person who does things at her own pace. Give her some time."

Tea studied her a moment. "You're Sara aren't you? The one who Gabriela told us about?" (AN: This was a long time ago…v_v() Chapter 2)

"I think so, unless Gabriela met another Sara recently and replaced me as her best friend." She said jokingly. "She and I met when we were in grade school. In America. I still feel guilty for that card thing. I didn't know that it would force her to move, or I would've just said 'Skip it. Let's do something else.' But unfortunately, I couldn't keep my big mouth shut."

Tea stopped her. "Hey, it's not your fault. You were just really proud of your best friend. There's no shame in that."

They went downstairs together, still talking about how Gabriela and Sara had met.

Yami had taken control and was talking to Tori in the kitchen. "Tori? I know what you are. You are an ancient spirit, am I right?"

Tori nodded. "Yes."

"Then what exactly are you doing here? How did you get here?"

Tori studied his face for a moment. "Pharaoh, sir, do you remember when you were placed inside your puzzle? Do you not remember, just before then, signing a Decree of the Beasts?"

Yami looked down. He wished he could remember, but he couldn't.

"The Decree of the Beasts. It left orders that one year after the Millennium Items were sealed away, that there were to be 7 more items created. 7 more to protect the first 7 from some sort of evil. 7 Beasts with the Eye on them. You left specific names of the people who were to be sacrificed to those Beasts, does any of this ring a bell?"

Yami looked up, expecting her to tell him more, in more detail.

"Don't you remember, Pharaoh, sir? The seven names? Please, you must try to remember. The first seven were supposed to be nobles of great magic. So you decided that the second seven would be servants of the first seven. The tomb robber interrupted the sacrificing ceremony, not wanting you to seal the items away and got sacrificed himself. You even made it so that he would have a servant. You don't remember any of it, do you?"

Yami turned his head away. He wished he did. He hadn't asked for his memories to be taken. At least, he didn't think so…

Then, the phone rang.

Tori sighed frustrated and got up to answer. "Hello, Fremon residence, how may I help you?"

"Sara? Is that you? Where is Jeri? I have to speak to her!"

"Gabriela?! What do you mean is Jericho here? She's not with you!? Where are you Gabriela?"

Gabriela looked around nervously. "Do you know where Jeri is? I need to talk to her now!"

"Gabriela! Where are you?! Answer me!" Tori was upset. If Jeri wasn't with her, then that meant… "Gabriela!!"

"Do you know where Jeri is?!" Gabriela sounded desperate, but she wasn't about to veg were she was to Tori. Jeri would kill her! "Please, Tori? Just tell me where I can find her?"

"Jericho isn't here. I'm not sure where she is right now. Probably out looking for you. Tell me where you are and I'll come get you, Gabriela." Silence. "Gabriela?"

"Sorry, Tori. Tell Sara I said hi."

"Gabriela!! Don't you dare hang up on me!!! GABRIELA!!!"

Click.

"GABRIELA!!! Gods! She's just like Jericho! Won't listen to anyone! SARA!"

Sara was standing right behind her. "Tori?! That was Gabriela, wasn't it? Where is she? What's wrong?" Tori's face had turned white as a ghost. "Tori?! What's wrong? Is Gabriela hurt?"

"No, I think she's okay, but we have to find her." She looked at Yami and his friends. "Do you have any idea where she might go? Are there any arcades or anything where she could hide for a long period of time?"

"We'll find her, don't worry." Yami said getting up. "We'll split up. Sara? You and Tori stay here in case she calls again or comes back."

~*~*~

Ryou and Ami had been walking together for a long time after school. They both enjoyed having the other's company. They ended up at a Soda Shoppe. Ami was sipping a chocolate soda and Ryou was telling her about his parents' going to other countries.

Ami's eyes bugged for a moment and Ryou wondered what he had said. She whispered urgently, "The Cobra's acting up again. I can't… Woah!" Her hand moved by itself to point at Ryou's chest. The Cobra slid out a little and hissed, it's eye fixed on the Item it knew was underneath Ryou's shirt. Suddenly, it was visible, as if it had melted through the shirt. The Cobra hissed delighted that it was correct and moved Ami's hand to touch the Ring. Ami gasped as her eyes went dim.

~Another vision (Dejavu anyone?)~

A young girl with midnight purple hair running down a street and panting heavily. She hid behind a stand and a few moments later a young boy in servants cloths came running behind her. "Aminaka? Aminaka!? Mistress Aminaka?!" He ran right by her. Her expensive clothes stood out among the shopper's robes as she stepped out from behind the fruit stand.

Ami could hear her whispering. "There is no way I'm going back. No way. They can't force me to what ever they want anymore. But how can I make sure that they won't come looking for me?"

She looked around. The only thing she saw was the fruit stand. She got an idea. "Would they really want a thief in the family?" Her obvious answer was no. She walked up to the stand, acting like she bought fruit every day, picking up this piece or that and examining it. After a few other people had gathered around she saw her chance.

She kicked the leg of the stand in with one quick blow. The fruit rolled everywhere. She bent down and began scrambling to pick up every bit she could. Suddenly, she rammed heads with a boy with white hair. She began repacking up the fruit and noticed he was doing the same. Their eyes met and she smiled. He smirked back in an amused way, his brown eyes laughing at her, taking in her expensive dress and earrings.

Then they heard the guards coming. He jumped up and didn't think twice before grabbing her hand with his free one and running off. Both of them got away carrying a good bit of fruit in their hands and holding on to each other's free hand.

~End of vision~

Ami came to, realising she was still holding onto the ring and the Cobra had gone back to it's original state. Ryou blinked, seeming to have come to, also.

Ami whispered nervously, "Did you just see what I saw?"

He turned to her. "If you mean the vision, then yes. I think we shared it." He looked around. Some people were staring. He laid some money on the table and pulled Ami up. "Can we go somewhere to talk privately?" He guided her out of the Shoppe.

~*~*~ A new POV for you to keep up with… V_V()~*~*~

The little girl skipped around before the mansion. She had a feeling that this was shere she was supposed to be, but she had no idea why. This little girl who wasn't more that 5 had light blonde hair and icy blue eyes. She was wearing a little school uniform dress with suspenders. Her pony tail bounced behind her. If you looked closely, you would see the Crocodile shaped gold belt around her waist.

She walked up to the large double doors and opened them. She marvelled at the size of the place. She came to two more double doors. These had a horse with wings on them. She pushed them open. There were a lot of machines in this room there was also a bed. She came close to it. Laying on the bed was a man with purplish hair. Half of his head was wrapped with bandages and the other half looked asleep. She put her finger on the tip of his nose. "Wakie up, mister?" she asked. The Crocodile glowed for a moment and she giggled. "Tickles!" Then it stopped. "Mister?" She asked, sticking her thumb in her mouth. "Mister?" She stuck her other hand on his bandaged eye. He moaned in his "sleep."

"Mister? Hurt?" The Crocodile started glowing again. This time she didn't giggle. She rubbed the Crocodile's head and the glow rubbed of on her finger. She traced "Mister's" bandaged eye with her glowing finger. He stirred a little.

The bandages began glowing and lifting off his eye. "Mister all better." she whispered, running her hand along his eye. "Hurt no more."

Then several men in black suits came in and grabbed the little girl. "What are you doing you little snot nosed brat! Mr. Pegasus is in critical condition!"

She turned around, thumb still in mouth and pointed at him. "Mister all better."

"What? No, little girl, he's…"

Croquet (Sorry about spelling, the computer won't let me do it any other way.) looked at the machines. "He's coming around!"

"What?! Are you serious?!" The guard dropped the girl and ran over to the monitors.

"He's stabilized in record time! I was here just an hour ago and he'd looked his worst yet!"

"A miracle?"

"There's no other explanation."

The little girl had climbed up to the bedside again and smiled. "Mister no hurts no more!" She shouted gleefully. Just then, Pegasus opened his eyes. Both of them.

"W-where am I?" he asked shaking his head a little.

The little girl smiled down, looking like an angel. "You okay now. Dark eye no hurt no more."

If that was a cliffy, I am soo sorry! I've been writing for about 6 hours straight and I can't stand anymore! So, if you like it at all, review. If you don't like the little kid stuff, tell me so I can edit it out. Thanks!

Yami-Black star does not own Yu-gi-oh. (Puts on fake smile) And I think this is the best chapter she's ever written!

Y.S- you would never guess she bribed you into saying that, Yami, really. R and R people before she explodes, please?
