A/N- Well, school has started and once again I have no time...*sigh*
Obviously I'm going to fall behind on everything that I have to catch up on
sometime.
Thank you everybody that reviewed last chapter! I really really appreciate it! ^_^ That's what keeps this story going as a matter of fact!
Bunnychu: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! I can imagine! That would definitely be scary! Oh, boy. Man, I seriously hate summer reading. I mean it wouldn't be so bad if they would just pick books that were actually interesting to read! If they just had Action/Adventure stuff and all kinds of things like that (throw in a little magic) I'd be fine and dandy! I've only read one book on the summer reading list that I actually liked! "The Hobbit" and I got a 105 on my test over it too! So it's all a matter of getting what appeals to us. (Who even picks the summer reading stuff neways? Whoever it is has no taste for good stuff whatsoever!) Thanks again! God luvs ya 2! ^_^ (Thanks for the encouragement!)
It'sHardToBelieve: Oh, yeah, that was you! Thanks for giving me that idea! It was really good! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Yup, that's what we've got so far! My stories are so busy aren't they? ^_^ Naw, I don't need any idea for the Sitara and Yugi part, just the hyped-up-Yami part. Oooo! Excellent ideas! I like! I'll probably use some of those too! Thanks!
Brodie and Casey: Why thank you! I'm so glad you liked it so much! ^_^ It makes me happy to see you happy! Of course! I haven't left ne cliffies in a while and it was starting to get dull w/out them! Hm...interesting question. Maybe just because he's being control by a freaky psychopath yami that is a really big...meanie! Yeah, I think that's it! Oh, cool! I've got to check that out! Thanks for telling me about it! Well, lata!
fishkisser: Hey, thank you! I'm really glad you liked it! ^_^ Ooo, Algebra...that stinks! V_V I feel for you!
Nightlight5: THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I'm glad you really like it! HEHE! You'll just have to wait and see! Actually, I can kinda relate to your weather. It almost never snows here and it has been at least 70 degrees up until a few days ago. Now, it's been below 32 so we had a snow day fri. (not that it snowed at MY house). Thanks!
Nicky: Yup! Well, which would you rather? More cookies or Review Responses? (why do I even ask? I'm sure I know the answer already.) haha! Well, I've got to keep things interesting don't I? HAHAHA! I'm glad you thought it was funny! I actually came up w/ the phrase "for the love of everything that is golden and shiny no!" when I was supposed to be sleeping. I couldn't sleep and it just came to me. I laughed silently to myself and wrote it down so I wouldn't forget it. AHAHAHAHA!! I thought so too!
deranged black kitten of doom: ^_^ I'm glad you like it! HEHE! I can't tell you! You'll just have to find out! Here it is!
Sorceress Vanessa: Hehe! Glad you liked it so much! ^_^ And I'm glad you thought it was funny! HEHE! That's funny! I might just do that! Sure! I'd love to see it! What's the address to this new website? Thanks!
hobbit13: hehe! Well, I have a picture of Isis and in the pic she had blue eyes so that was the color that I went with...*shrug* Hehe, yeah, I know that is very freaky, but I originally wrote the story without these end pieces so he's really serious in the story...HEHE! I'm glad you liked the cookies! Thanks for everything!
Una: OOOO! O.O! That is a lot! I definitely don't have much to complain about! At least our teach gave us an extention on it. I still have one more book to read though. Yup, I scuba! It's fun too, but kinda scary at the same time. HAHAHAHA!!! Yeah, it WOULD have been funny like that, but in this timeline he hadn't met her yet. *snort* that was funny! You know...I'm actually starting to think you gave me that sneak peak to torture me! I seriously can't wait for you to post your preq. Is it up yet? I'll be check'n later. Hehe, yeah I thought Isis fit that position VERY well. Pizza and turtles? O.o? Is Hazzah a new thing of yours? You seem to be saying it a lot lately...Hehe, yeah! Thanks Una!
Subieko: I actually don't remember my plans for Isis and Marik in the seq. I'll have to read it again to figure out what exactly it was that I was planning to do...They went to a mountain cuz they haven't been to one yet. I just pick different landscapes for them to travel all around so everything isn't the same, ya know what I mean? HEHE! Uh, nine lives? Are you sure Yugi has ONLY 9 lives? He needs more than that with me...lol. Hehe! You'll just have to wait and see!
LilKay13: ^_^ I'm glad you liked it! HAHAHA!!! THAT WAS...*gasp*...SO FUNNY!! HAHAHAHA!!
Thanks everyone! Now here's the next chap!

Chapter 24
Yugi screamed as he fell and forgot the warning Isis had given them only a few hours earlier about loud sounds causing avalanches. He was luckily able to grab the side of a snowy ledge, which stopped his fall, but the force caused one of his hands to slip so that he was dangling by four fingers on the side of a cliff.
In that moment, Yugi looked down and saw the darkness below him. Yugi shuddered and regained his grip on the ledge with his other hand. Slowly, ever so slowly, he managed to haul himself up so that he could roll over the side and lay on his back in the snow. Someone inside Yugi's head started breathing again. (a/n- in a manner of speaking.)
As Yugi lay there on the ground, panting, he heard a strange rumbling sound coming from above him and he finally remembered the warning sent by Isis. His expression darkened. 'Great! Just great! She must have seen that coming,' he thought.
Yugi picked himself off of the ground and sat with his back to the cliff face. He looked up and noticed a hand and forearm dangling over the edge of the cliff. He was struck by a flash of panic. It was Sitara's arm hanging limply over the side of the cliff and her cheek rested against the edge, allowing Yugi to see her face. Her eyes were closed and some blood trickled down the side of her face from the cut she received by the hail.
Yugi felt sorry for her knowing there was no way she could escape the avalanche that he caused.
//Don't worry, aibou. I'm sure she'll be fine, but what about you? That avalanche can knock you off.//
/I don't know, but maybe because of my position I won't be swept off?/
//Maybe ai-//
Yami was interrupted by a mighty roar as the snow came hurtling over the cliff and was heading straight for Yugi, answering the question of whether he would be swept off as positive. Yugi's reflexes took over and he created the shield Sitara taught him to make. It protected him from the falling snow and ice. While waiting for it to negate, Yugi looked for Sitara's body to see when she fell, but all he could make out was a curtain of white.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Right before the forceful snow would have overtaken Sitara a man in a brown hood and cloak appeared out of nowhere and grabbed her. As suddenly as the man appeared he was gone again...this time with Sitara.
It did not take long, however, before Sitara and the man reappeared again in a cave on the lower part of the mountain. The stranger never removed his hood, but he stretched out his hands and an iridescent glow surrounded his hands and the girl's body. After a few seconds the hooded man quickly removed his hands, dropped a piece of parchment on the ground, and vanished once again.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sitara woke up holding her head and hurting vaguely all over from being pummeled by hail. Then a thought struck her--YUGI! What had happened to him? She looked at her surroundings and saw that she was in cave, blocked by a mound of snow.
But how had she gotten there? She did not remember any caves...the last thing she remembered was trying to help Yugi up the side of the cliff. Sitara shook her head to clear it then heard something that made a sudden panic grip her heart. She heard the rumbling outside and guessed at its meaning-Avalanche!
And Yugi was out in it.
"He won't survive!" Sitara cried into the emptiess. "NOO! Yugi!"
She managed to calm herself down with the prophecy in her mind. Yugi was the Chosen One; he could not die yet. He was alive out there somewhere, probably thinking *she* was dead.
Sitara looked down at the ground and saw, right beside her hand was a piece of parchment. There was writing on it so she picked it up and looked at it. The note read:
Sitara, do not worry about Inara. She is safe until Marik defeats you. She is in his dungeon, but well cared for and unharmed.
The note was without signiture, but in the corner was a post script saying:
Do not mourn the fallen till your quest is completed.
Sitara puzzled over it for a moment, then thought, 'well, whoever it is doesn't want me to grieve over Kero-oshi's death because it will just distract me from my original objectives.'
After that, she read over the letter again and noticed that whoever left her the note had written the boy's name that was trying to take over her father's kingdom-Marik. She read over it once last time then smiled at the thought that her sister was safe and with that consideration in mind she went to sleep on the frozen ground for the night.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yugi had a much harder time of it that night, being out on a small outcrop. After the avalanche had stopped he had scooted sideways on the edge and found an almost platform-ish kind of place big enough for him to lay down somewhat. He tried to rest, but it was a struggle just to stay warm with the cold, biting wind blowing all around him.
It chilled him as it whipped his hair back and forth. (a/n- Hey Nicky! Aerodynamic triangles! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!) Finally, he gave up on trying to go to sleep and instead concentrated on staying warm by pacing in the small amount of space provided by the shelf.
Yugi was very happy when the sun appeared in the morning and began to warm the world below it. Finally, when there was enough light to see, Yugi began to search for a way to extract himself from the side of the cliff and get to the bottom of the mountain where the horses were waiting.
He started looking all around when a familiar face appeared below him not too far down.
"Need a hand?"
"Sitara?! You're alive!"
The freezing, snow covered girl smiled and replied, "So are you. Here let me help you down." Using her abilities she hefted him down to where she was standing.
"Why are you covered in snow? It stopped snowing a long time ago."
"Yeah, but I had to dig my way out of a small cave. Come on, the horses aren't that far away."
"Good, I can't wait to get away from this cold."
"You might be wishing it was cooler by the time we get to the desert, which is where we are going next. Look! There are the horses! Wow! Your fall brought you pretty close to the base of the mountain."
"Yeah, I guess it did."
Sitara pulled out more garments from the horses packs and threw some to Yugi so they could warm up better. Sitara mounted Sauda while Yugi clambered onto Allayna's back and they rode off telling each other what had happened once they other "departed."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(A/N- Ok, so no cliffy that time. Also, I know I said I wouldn't do a school scene, but in light of the fact that school just started I thought I'd do one in "honor" of it starting back up. Ok, this is going to be the next day. Everybody went home except Bakura and Ryou, they had to stay and prevent Yami from doing drastic things.)
BEEEEEEEEEP
BEEEEEEEEEP
BEEEE- BANG!!!
Yami, in an attempt to protect himself from the shrill, annoying creature that was attempting to attack his mental stability, slammed his fist down on whatever it was and silenced it. As soon as that was accomplished, Yami turned back over and went back to sleep...or at least he did until someone started trying to drag him out of bed.
The alarm clock had aroused Ryou and his yami so that they got up. Seeing that Yami was not going to get up willingly, Bakura pulled back the covers and began to pull the drowsy pharaoh over the side of the bed.
Yami swatted at Bakura with little effort before sticking one thumb in his mouth and muttering, "No mommy, it was the cow that jumped over the moon!"
Bakura was so weirded out by this statement that he stopped pulling Yami's leg for a fraction of a second and just stared at his rival with a look of utter disbelief. He quickly recovered himself and began pulling on Yami again, hoping that if he could just get him to the side of the bed, Yami would awaken and stand up by himself.
That was not the case, however. Instead of sitting on the edge of the bed and rubbing his eyes, Yami fell off of the bed and just lay on the floor, continuing to sleep.
"Oh, no you don't! It's time to get up and go to school!" Bakura pulled on his arm, but the stubborn pharaoh remained limp. Finally, Bakura tried a different tactic and picked Yami up himself and stood him on his feet. "There, now go get ready!" The only thing Yami did this time, though, was hang limply in Bakura's arms until he was able to slide back down to the ground and sleep again.
Bakura rolled his eyes and finally said, "If you don't wake up I'll rob you blind you baka Pharaoh!"
That seemed to do the trick. Yami took his thumb out of his mouth and stood up straight, coming to attention. Bakura took advantage of this and shoved a school uniform into his hands, shoving him out the door towards the bathroom.
"Now, go in there and change and this time DON'T BLOW ANYTHING UP! OR SEND ANYTHING TO THE SHADOW REALM!"
Yami, disoriented and confused, walked into the bathroom still holding the clothes in his hands. Once inside, the ancient pharaoh looked around the small room and noticed that he was not alone in the room.
Yami stared at the other person just as the other person stared at him. Yami blinked, the other blinked. Yami took a step closer to the person and the other did the same. Yami wore a puzzled expression as he thought to himself.
'Hm...who is that? He looks strangely familiar...and what a handsome beast he is! I'll try to talk to him and find out who he is.'
"Hello, my name is Yami! Who are you?"
The boy also opened his mouth as if to ask the same question, but did not speak. Yami frowned. He did not like not getting the answers he desired.
"What is your business here?! What do you want?!"
Again the boy opened his mouth, but did not speak.
"ANSWER ME!" Yami yelled and Bakura poked his head in. As soon as he saw Yami and the other boy, he looked extremely puzzled and he asked the occupants of the room a question.
"Um...Yami? Why are you talking to your reflection?"
Yami looked from the boy to Bakura and back again. Yami blinked, the other blinked. Yami raised an eyebrow and so did the other.
"Because it seems that he won't answer back."
Bakura rolled his eyes and said, "Just get ready."
A few hours later, Yami was found in a classroom full of students and one older man. Yami had been sitting here for a while and he was getting very bored.
Finally, the man at the front of the room told them all that he wanted them to write an essay on how to have an extraordinary life and bring it in the next day to do an oral presentation. That was, apparently the wrong thing to do. Yami did not like to be bossed around and sent the man to the Shadow Realm.
Everybody in the class cheered, except for in the very back where two small groans could just barely be heard over all the shouting and merriment. All the noise was quickly extinguished as a woman entered the room a moment later and announced that she was the substitute teacher.
Yami, getting confused and angry, sent her to the Shadow Realm as well.
Cheers broke out again only to be silenced once more as another sub entered the room. Yami was now enraged and sent the sub to the Shadow Realm to be replaced by another and another and another until Yami was just so tired of using his Shadow Powers that he could not continue banishing them.
"WHAT IS GOING ON???!!! EVERY TIME I SEND ONE AWAY ANOTHER TAKES IT'S PLACE! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!"
And Yami had to endure the rest of the school day...
A/N- Yeah, I know that sucked...I'm obviously not cut out to write humor. I'm really sorry for the crappy chapter, but something ate my muse. I think I'll just go to sleep now cuz I'm kinda out of it. Night.

Bakura rolled his eyes and said, "Just get ready."
A few hours later, Yami was found in a classroom full of students and one older man. Yami had been sitting here for a while and he was getting very bored.
Finally, the man at the front of the room told them all that he wanted them to write an essay on how to have an extraordinary life and bring it in the next day to do an oral presentation. That was, apparently the wrong thing to do. Yami did not like to be bossed around and sent the man to the Shadow Realm.
Everybody in the class cheered, except for in the very back where two small groans could just barely be heard over all the shouting and merriment. All the noise was quickly extinguished as a woman entered the room a moment later and announced that she was the substitute teacher.
Yami, getting confused and angry, sent her to the Shadow Realm as well.
Cheers broke out again only to be silenced once more as another sub entered the room. Yami was now enraged and sent the sub to the Shadow Realm to be replaced by another and another and another until Yami was just so tired of using his Shadow Powers that he could not continue banishing them.
"WHAT IS GOING ON???!!! EVERY TIME I SEND ONE AWAY ANOTHER TAKES IT'S PLACE! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!"
And Yami had to endure the rest of the school day...
A/N- Yeah, I know that sucked...I'm obviously not cut out to write humor. I'm really sorry for the crappy chapter, but something ate my muse. I think I'll just go to sleep now cuz I'm kinda out of it. Night.
