Yami found himself in Seto's position the next day. Who knew that a five-year-old girl could be so good at this game she called "Hide and Seek?" And the fact they lived in a six-story castle, with over five thousand rooms, probably didn't help things much. And he'd only gone through about twenty rooms so far.

"Now do you see what I put up with?" Yami turned around to see Seto, leaning against a wall, smirking. "She's good at this little game she invented," he continued. "We may have to call her 'Princess of Games.' She likes them more than her father." Yami smiled. Princess of Games- that was definitely his Koujo.

"Yes," he replied. "And you have my apologies for yesterday. Now, help me find her." Seto continued to smirk, but he joined the search.

"Wow!" Koujo looked around the large room in total amazement, listening to her voice echo. "Hello!"

"Hello!" came the echo's reply.

"How are you?"

"I'm getting a headache, so shut up!" Koujo let out a fearful gasp.

"Who… who's there?" she asked. "Daddy?"

"Idiot, I'm not your father. What are you doing in here anyway?!" Out of the shadows stepped a large white dragon. His crystal blue eyes looked into Koujo's… and frankly, he scared the hell out of her.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!"

"Blue Eyes, now look what you've done!"

"I didn't do anything!" Koujo looked over as a man clothed in dark and light purple stepped out of the shadows. He calmly walked over to Koujo and knelt down at her side.

"I'm Dark Magician," he said soothingly. "And don't be frightened. That oversized lizard isn't going to hurt you."

"I BEG YOUR PARDON!?!"

"WAAAAAH!!!!!" Dark Magician glared at Blue Eyes.

"Will you shut it, all ready? You're scaring the living daylights out of her!"

"Well, she's not supposed to be in here anyway!"

"Blue Eyes, SHUT UP!" Dark Magician looked back at Koujo. "What are you doing here, kid? Pharaoh Yami doesn't like people in the Shadow Games Room."

"I *sniff * I was playing Hide 'n Seek with Daddy," Koujo said softly. "An' I got lost and came here." She looked up at Blue Eyes, fearfully at first, but then narrowed her eyes… and blew him a raspberry. Dark Magician burst out laughing.

"Well, Blue-Eyes," he said with a smirk. "We can see what the princess thinks of you." Blue-Eyes rolled his blue eyes.

"What are we supposed to do with her?" he asked.

"Do you play tag?" The Shadow Monsters exchanged looks with each other, then with the young princess. "Well? Do you?"

Yami was starting to worry- his daughter was missing, there was a madman after her… he had good reason to worry.

"Seto, we have to find her," he said as they heading for the Shadow Games Arena. Seto rolled his eyes. He had heard that for about the millionth time all ready, causing Seto to gain a headache.

"Tell me something I…" He paused. "Pharaoh, listen- do you hear that?" Yami paused and listened. Laughter- his daughter's laughter. And it was coming from…

"Oh my Ra…" Yami pushed open the large door, frightened of what he might see… "What the…"

"I got you, Dark Magician!" Koujo cried happily, a bright smile on her face. "You're it!" Dark Magician smiled back and started to chase her, when he noticed Yami.

"Pharaoh!" Koujo looked over.

"Daddy!" She ran over and leapt into Yami's arms, knocking him down to the floor. "When we we're playin' hide 'n seek, I came and here and I was listenin' to the echo, but that big dragon- he said I was given' him a headache and he scared me so I started cryin, but Dark Magician told him to stop and called him an oversized lizard and the dragon yelled again and I started crying again, but then we started to play tag and it was a lot of fun! Can I come back and play again, Daddy, can I?" Yami smiled and hugged Koujo tight.

"Yes, little love- you can come back whenever you want."
