Yugi was shuffling through his deck, Yami watching him and the Millennium

Necklace around Yugi's neck. "Aibou [partner], what do you make of the Sakura Card

Mistress?" Yugi looked up. "I don't really know", he admitted, "but her friends, Tomoyo

and Juri-san are nice. But what was that light?" Just then the door knocked. Yugi opened

it as Yami disappeared. It was Tomoyo. She was carrying a few bags and her camcorders.

"Um, Yugi-kun? Do you mind if I talk to you?" she asked. "How did you know which

room was mine?" Yugi asked, blushing at the sight of her. "Your name is on the door",

Tomoyo pointed and Yugi saw the words "Yugi Moto" on his door in gold. Yugi had to

admit, Tomoyo looked pretty as the light on the gold reflected on her face. She turned,

and some sewing supplies fell out of one of her bags. Yugi bent down to help pick them

up, and their hands brushed against each other's. They both blushed. Yugi could hear

Yami egging him on. Finally Tomoyo stood up and said, "This is the real reason I came

here." Blue wings sprouted out of her back, wrapped around her in a ball. When the

wings withdrew and disappeared a woman was standing in Tomoyo's place. She had pale

pink skin, green hair, and her clothing was decked out in sapphire and jade. Her eyes

made the only contrast with dark amethyst. "I am sorry for frightening you, Yugi-kun",

even the tone was colder than Tomoyo's cute voice. Yugi switched to Yami. "Who are

you?" he demanded. The woman knelt before him. "My Pharaoh-sama, we have met

again", her tone, though cold, had another ring with neither Yami nor Yugi could

decipher. Then the Millennium Necklace glowed, and Yami had a vision

*VISION*

Yami stood in his throne room. A group of four were there; an angel, a lion, a

woman and two men. One of the men held a staff which was pink and had a bird's with

wings at the tip. The other man's staff was white with a blue and green sphere on its tip.

The woman bowed, and the others followed suit. "Pharaoh-sama", she said, "I am

Soshini, the Earth guardian", then her voice trailed to nothingness

*END VISION*

"Soshini!" Yami exclaimed, taking off the necklace. She seemed to brighten that

he remembered her name. Then the door flew open. Yami switched back to Yugi. "Yugi-

kun! Tom-" Juri's (she's with Tomoyo, okay?) sentence was cut off by awe as she looked

at Soshini. There seemed to be a mind link, then Soshini said, "I'm going back to my

false form." The wings sprouted again, and Tomoyo appeared. "Look, Michelle and

Kaiba disappeared and we have no time-" again Juri was cut off as her clothes changed

into a green tunic and brown pants. She and Yugi sweat-dropped as Tomoyo pulled out

another one for Sakura. Soon Jenny, Kero-chan, Tomoyo, Touya, William, Juri,

Annemarie, Yugi, Sakura, and Syaoran were running, and Jenny explained as they sped

past a fork into the left about how she couldn't feel Michelle and Kaiba's presence in the

castle.. "Some dark magic is at work", she nodded at Juri, who seemed to understand.

Jenny, much to Tomoyo's dismay, was immune to most magical attempts on her ( I will

explain that later) so Tomoyo had no way for her to get on anything besides black pants

and a turtleneck. Unknown to them, someone was following them stealthily.

"We will be playing by your rules", Dokotu explained, the life point count going

up to 8000. Michelle nodded to show she understood and drew her hand. "Ladies go first,

so I play one card facedown and a monster in defense mode." The defense square blinked

as she said this. If her opponent lay any facedown card or cards, she destroy one of them

with her Mystical Space Typhoon. "You can do it, Michelle-san!" Mokuba shouted.

Although Michelle couldn't turn her head, she smiled at the support. Dokotu drew. "I

play the Dark Magician (2500/2100) in attack mode, and have him attack your defense

monster." Michelle flipped it. "Millennium Shield", she said.

Dokotu: 7500

Dokotu growled then placed one card facedown to end his turn. Michelle drew. A

leg of Exodia. She would need that for later with the head of Exodia already in her hand.

(I KNOW THAT IF YOU HAVE A PIECE OF EXODIA OR A LIMITED PIECE YOU

AUTOMATICALLY WIN, OKAY?! I CHANGED IT FOR THIS DUEL!!). She just

needed the right time, and cards. She activated her Mystical Space Typhoon and

destroyed his Virus Cannon. Thank goodness, and she set another card facedown and

another monster in defense mode. It was Dokotu's turn. He smiled. "I play Stop Defense

on your Millennium Shield (0/3000) and now, Dark Magician, attack now!" Michelle

flipped her other defense monster: Man-Eater Bug (450/600). "And I destroy your Dark

Magician with its special ability", as she was saying this, she switched her Man-Eater

Bug to Attack mode and attacked Dokotu directly.

Dokotu: 7050

Dokotu looked pleased after she switched both of her monsters to defense and

placed another card facedown. Dokotu drew his next card. "I play Dark Hole! Which

destroys all monsters on the field, then I summon Ryu-Ran (2200/2600)! Attack her

directly!" Michelle activated her facedown card: Waboku. It negated all the attack to

zero. Michelle had bought herself some time. She placed her Spellbinding Circle card

facedown. But things looked bad as he played Remove Trap. So much for Enchanted

Javelin, Michelle thought as she put it in the card graveyard. That would have raised her

life points even more. (Just to let you know; Michelle has a Pegasus starter deck). She

then heard footsteps, running. "Michelle!" she heard Jane voice. Then she heard Mokuba

shout. "What have you done to him?" she screamed to her opponent. Dokotu laughed. A

mirror came up on his side on the field, showing Mokuba surrounded by arrows. "If

anyone interferes, all those arrows will fire at Mokuba", he chuckled. "Ryu- Ran, attack

her Man/Eater Bug!" "Spell-binding Circle!" Michelle shouted. She then looked at her

hand. No monster is strong enough, unless, "I summon the Dark Magician Girl!" A girl

with a staff appeared in the field, winking at her opponent "Since she gets 300 attack

points for every Dark Magician in the graveyard, she is strong enough to defeat your

Ryu-Ran. Attack now, my Dark Magician Girl!" The Dark Magician Girl smiled and

attacked the dragon. It disappeared in a burst of light.

Dokotu: 6700

Dokotu smirked. "Thank you, Coulter-san." Michelle glared at him, how dare he

use Kaiba's name for her? (Michelle: Get on with it, okay? Draconmouth: Patience is a

virtue) "How could I have fallen into a trap?" she asked. Dokotu then played a trap card,

Summoned Price. "This card lets me summon one monster from my hand along with

destroying all monsters on your side of the field. Half of the monster's attack points will

be deducted from your life points.

Michelle:6850

"Now I summon Blue Eyes White Dragon !" The gigantic monster rose.

(3000/2500) It roared and lightning from its mouth blasted Michelle.

Michelle: 3850

Michelle looked down at her feet and saw in horror they were covered in black

ice. "That's part of the duel; because you lost life points both of your legs are covered.

By the end of the duel you will be enshrouded in it, turning evil." Michelle didn't know

what to do; there was only one monster that could save her; but she didn't know if she

could draw it. "No, you can do it, Michelle-san", a voice drifted in her head. She gasped.

"Seto?" she said out loud. "Michelle-san, I'll help you. The next card you'll draw is

Graceful Charity." Michelle held her breath as she drew. Graceful Charity. She played it,

drawing three cards and discarding Red Archery Girl and Card Destruction. All right!

"This duel ends now!" she shouted. "I play Exodia the Forbidden One!" Everyone

gasped, except Jenny. She was expecting this to happen. "Exodia Obliterate!!"

Dokotu: 0

Dokotu released the chains and cold ice, freed Mokuba and Kaiba, and whispered,

"I'm sorry, Chaco-san", "Huh? How do you know Chaco?" Jane (she's Jane for the rest

of this fic, are you all right with this? Only Sakura and all the other Japanese people call

her Juri) had overheard. Dokotu looked up. "She's my daughter." Jane nearly dropped her

Staff; wasn't Chaco's father dead? "But-" she started. " My full name is Dokotu Azami."

Jenny nodded. "Lokhian for Light Archer." Dokotu nodded. "You know Lokhian?" "I

have a gift with languages", Jenny smiled. "Chaco's full name in Chaco Sibha Azami,

which means Lovely Daughter of Light. Chaco's mother was killed by Shadow. But I

survived the attack. Shadow misdirected Chaco's thoughts at a very young age, creating

evil inside her. I know she's still good. Shadow told me I had to beat one of your friends

in a duel in order to have her back." " In understand", Jenny said gently. Jane placed a

hand on Dokotu's shoulder. "I'll get her back", she said, "even though she did mean

things to me, from you tell me, she still has a heart. I'll help you." Dokotu looked up.

"I'm sorry for putting your friends in danger. If only there was one way I could make up

for it." "There is", Jenny said. "If Jane, Sakura, and Li-kun use all of their element cards,

your soul would be purified." William stared at Jenny. "How do you do that?" he asked

in amazement. Jenny winked at him. "Being an incarnate, I have great knowledge."

"Incarnate?" Sakura repeated. Jane nodded. "Don't ask", her voice held some irritation.

"Yes", William, Michelle, and Annemarie agreed. Suddenly a black-robed figure

appeared advancing on them. Sakura started forward, but Jane stopped her, hissing,

"Shadow" to everyone. Yugi and Yami switched, Kero-chan to his true form, and

Tomoyo changed to Soshini. Everyone but Jane, Sakura, Syaoran, and Jenny gasped at

the transformations. Shadow then made a movement and Jane shouted "Shield!", but

Touya, Dokotu, Cerberus, Soshini, William, Michelle, and Kaiba fell down to the ground.

Annemarie was the only one standing. "What the heck?" her voice sounded confused.

Shadow laughed. "They have been knocked out. Now to keep your witch busy."

Lightning bolts hurled towards the unconscious crowd. Jenny got rid of them and told

Jane, Sakura, Annemarie, and Syaoran, "I have to protect the others. You're on your

own."
