Before the three of them there stood a person. She looked close to Yugi and the others in age but in her eyes glowed a light of knowledge that didn't belong to someone her age. That was the first thing they noticed, the fact that she was dressed in oil stained jeans with a baggy shirt and had a red sweater tied around her waist was the second.

"You mean to tell us that you are the Keeper's Champion that we were just told about." Yami said not really believing that this slip of a girl was the one who could help them. She looked down at herself then back at him.

"Don't look the part eh, well I was at work what do you expect I don't make a habit of doing this you know." Suddenly she flicked her wrist and she was dressed in a white Egyptian style dress, her hair was pulled back behind her and she looked regal and if any of them had to find the right word, above them. What caught their attention now was that A) she had long deep red hair, and eyes that flickered from deepest of blues to the most enchanting green. And B) the fact that on one arm she had a full length sleeve that touched her hand on the other (her right) the sleeve was none existent and on the part of her arm from halfway past her elbow to her wrist was a golden manacle with Egyptian hieroglyphs, and symbols on it.

Yami looked at the girl again.

"Sorry, but I'm am still not entirely sure as to who you are?" She gave him a small smile.

"I don't know your names either I believe." She said stepping of the duelling platform, and closer to them.

"I'm Yami, this is Ishizu and Shadi." Yami said introducing them. "You?" She looked him up and down then a look came onto her face for a moment that looked like she was listening to someone else, she even cocked her head to one side, then she smiled at them.

"Call me what you want, now do you mind telling me what just happened here. Because I have one hell of a mess to clean up." she said with a grimence.

Yami related the story to her, not leaving anything out but a brief summery none the less. She listened to it them she looked around. Her eyes at this point had turned to that enchanting green and stayed there. She nodded, then she saw the still form of Kaiba on the ground.

"Are they all like that?" she asked motioning to him.

"Afraid so." Ishizu told her. The girl walked over to him then bent his head back and looked into his eyes and they saw her eyes turn into that deep blue for a brief moment before they turned back into the steady green.

"You know him?" Ishizu said reconizing the flicker.

"You could say that." was her only reply.

"Can you bring our friends back." Yami asked her his worry for Yugi and the others over riding his curiosity for the moment. She studdied the still form of Kaiba for a moment then she turned her back on the group and Yami noticed her fingers clench for a moment before they brushed against a small pouch that hung from her waist. She opened it an from it took out a single dual monster card. Then the bag disappeared again and she turned to them.

"I can't."

"What! What do you mean the you can't bring them back." Ishizu exclaimed her annoyance showing plainly.

"I mean," she began again shooting the other girl a look that had her silenced quickly, "I can't bring them back quite that easily." she looked around again to make sure that she wasn't going to be interrupted. "The only way that we can bring your friends back is if you go to the shadow realm and bring them back."

"Why do we have to do it that way?" Yami asked. The girl sighed and looked like she was about to lose her patience when she got that listening look on her face again. She took a deep breath and explained very clearly, and slowly.

"Because the laws of the shadow realm forbid you to bring them back the normal way. They were sent there by a curse so they must be brought back by a different means then usual."

"What do we have to do?" Yami asked her keeping his face neutral but inside beginning to get a love/hate feeling with this idea.

"You are going to have to physically go into their very nightmares."

"You are not making sense child." Ishizu told her, that got her a flare of temper.

"Shadi you may leave if you wish your Items will not be needed to do this." She told him ignoring Ishizu for the moment.

"So your saying that the three of us are actually going to go into the Shadow Realm and find our friends, rescue them and come back out." Yami spoke summing up what she had told them.

"In a sense, yes that is what we are going to do." she told him turning back to the two remaining as Shadi disappeared into the ground.

"Well lets get started then. Who do we rescue first?" Ishizu asked the Champion looked at her, eyes cool.

"It is going to be tricky due to the fact that there are only three of us yet five to rescue."

"Not really because Yugi and Isis are our Hikari's." Yami told her. She gave a grin.

"Well now we still have a problem since only a close friend will be able to rescue them."

"No we won't, I will rescue Yugi, Ishizu shall rescue Isis, then Yugi can get Joey and Joey will be able to help Mai." Yami informed her.

"That is only four." Yami opened his mouth to add something then closed it, when he realized that Seto Kaiba probably didn't have any close friends. If he did Yami didn't know who they were.

"I don't know how we'll rescue Kaiba." Ishizu looked at the young C.E.O.

"Well we could get Mokuba but I don't think that will work." Yami said trying to think of a way out of this.

"I don't know anyone else." Ishizu added. The two sprits started to wrack their brains looking for someone. The Keepers Champion seemed to be listening to a voice just out of hearing.

A.N.- I'm not sure what I should write here. Ummm… what was I gonna say? *voices in head whisper something* Oh yah! I have a little short sweet chap. That fits in between this one and the next one but I'm not sure if I should put it up. It's about what the Keepers Champion is listening to. So R&R and tell me if you want me to post it or not I'm not sure if it will make the story clearer or if it will only ruin the plot. So give me your opinions on it. If you hate the story tell me. But I warn you! Do not! I repeat do not! Dis my character names or I will send the voices in my head after you. Or my little brother which ever would be worse. If you must insult them at least say something nice about the rest of the story PPPLLLLEEEEEEEAAASSSEEEE!

See ya latter.
