Author- ^______^ It starts.... that's all I've got to say.
Note- Thank you soooooo much for reading the next chapter! *teary eyes* I didn't know if it was good enough and all I wanted was a fic that people would continue reading and not just stop. THANK YOU FOR STICKING WITH THIS STORY! Also, I think I'm going to have some fun with this story and make it 'sorta interactive'. I am going to have a different point of view all the time, but I'm not going to tell you who it is. You'll just have to be observant and find out for yourself. ^^
Author- *reads* Gee, I guess I had more to say then I thought. *shrug* Now read.

Tea tapped her foot impatiently on the floor and looked around her room. The whole gang was there, but no one was talking. Caitlin had promised us she would call as soon as she got settled and tell us about her family and house and all. No one in the gang had ever been adopted, and we were curious to see how it went. We've know Caitlin for a few years now, and we've all grown pretty close. Everyone was just eagerly awaiting her call. Tea had the phone in her hand, and was pressing the buttons over and over to keep her busy. Finally, the phone rang.
"Hello?" Tea said, answering it on the first ring, "Oh, hi grandma." She said dully, "No of course I'm happy to hear from you! Uh huh. Uh huh, do you want to talk to mom? Oh sorry, mom is busy at the moment could you call back in about a half an hour? Thanks, bye I love you too grandma buh-bye!"
Tea beeped the phone off and groaned in a low tone.
"Who was that Tea?" Her mother's voice called from the kitchen.
"Just a sale's person." Tea lied, playing around once again with the numbers on the phone. Joey slumped deeper into his bean-bag chair.
"She forgot to call, I mean you can't really blame her. New family and everything..."
"She wouldn't just forget." I answered, "That's not like her, maybe something's wrong."
"Wrong?" Tristen exclaimed, "What could possibly go wrong, Yugi, hello this is Caitlin we're talking about."
"That's exactly what I mean." I said, "It's Caitlin we're talking about. Haven't you noticed that Caitlin always seems to be in some kind of trouble?"
Tea tapped the end of the phone on the table, "Well, yea I guess so, but what kind of trouble could someone get into? Even if it IS Caitlin."
I fingered with my millenium puzzle, "Maybe we should check on her. It couldn't hurt right?"
Tea got up quickly and grinned, "Like a surprise visit! I like it!"
"But how are we supposed to find her?" Joey asked.
I smiled, "Simple, Ryou can track Caitlin's millenium item and it'll lead us right to her! As long as she's wearing the amulet, which she always is, it will work the same way as a tracking device."
"Well, then I guess we'd better start going over before it gets too late." Tristen said, pointing at the clock on Tea's wall.
Everyone nodded and Ryou began to use the power of his millenium ring. It glowed and started to point in a direction, but then stopped. Ryou shook it a few times before getting a [A/N: CUTE!!] puzzled look on his face.
"Hmm, that's strange..." He said, knocking the ring lightly against Tea's bed.
"What's strange?" I said, suddenly nervous of what it could be.
Caitlin was never one to 'stay out of things'. Although she didn't always MEAN to get into trouble, it happened anyway. 'Trouble follows me.' She had told them one day, and it was scarily true. She had almost been drowned to death in our previous vacation, gone to jail, gotten us into jail, and stranded us in California in the two years or so that we've known her. Yami says that she's just like Cami was.
Yami knew him when he was younger, and although Cami occupied the safe job of being a scribe, he was always doing something that would get him into trouble. And Cami wasn't always good at being a scribe. Yami says that he would 'bend the truth' a little when he wrote down the events to make them sound more interesting. He got in huge trouble one time for writing that the priest died because an army of winged hippos with magic powers attacked him in the night instead of his real cause of death, old age. People were afraid to go near the Nile for days until Yami cleared it all up.
I'm glad I got a Yami that was the pharaoh, it's a whole lot more interesting then a scribe and a whole lot better then a tomb robber. Yami can tell me loads of interesting things, and helps me out in tough situations. He gives me knowledge and advice, while Ryou gets bruises and Caitlin gets headaches.
"What's strange Ryou?" I repeated.
"Well, it's the ring."
Tea instantly panicked, "Oh no please don't tell me you can't pick up a signal!"
"No..." Ryou said, looking at the ring closely, "It's not that. I've got a signal, it's just not very strong. Like a half signal or something. And what is strange is that the signal keeps getting weaker and weaker, like the item is disappearing of something."
"Oh boy," Tristen said, "That can't be good."
I blinked, "Why would you be loosing the signal Ryou?"
"I'm not sure, I've only seen something like this happen when tracking the amulet once and that was when Caitlin was drowning." [1]
"You don't think she's in big trouble do you?" Tea said.
"Well there's only one way to find out." Joey announced, "We'd better get moving."
We took out bikes up to the neighborhood Caitlin showed us later. It was very large, but all the houses were very close together and they looked like no privacy was possible. Ryou took the lead with his ring and followed it up to the pink house, number 2134. Although Ryou was finally riding his bike, he had crashed four times into various things such as mailboxes, trees, and lampposts. Joey laughed when Ryou was getting himself out of his second bush.
"Maybe we should get him training wheels..." He whispered to me.
"This is the one." Ryou said, pulling a branch out from his hair while kicking down his kickstand. "According to the ring that is."
Tristen gagged at the sight of it, "It's so pink!"
"Then, we'd better get in there." Said Tea, ringing the doorbell.
Caitlin's 'mom' answered with a strange look of boredom on her face, "Yes?"
Tea tried to make her most friendly and cute smile, "Hello! We're friends of Caitlin's and we need to speak to her right away."
She scowled, "Caitlin is banned from friends for a week, she broke the rules already and I intend to stomp the hooliganism out of her before it gets out of hand! That means she will not be attending the family vacation this year so she can go to school, so you will see her there."
Teas smile faded, "But-"
"But-" I interrupted, "She forgot her homework assignments and we have to give them to her!"
"Well she shouldn't have been irresponsible. It's her own fault and I think it would serve her right to flunk the paper it would teach her a lesson."
I shook my head in disbelief, Caitlin's new mom was terrible! I never really got to know my parents, and Grampa's pretty strict but...I've never seen anyone like HER before! Reluctantly, the gang and I had to leave. But we hadn't even gone a few inches worth when Yami came up with a great idea.
//Yugi, what's wrong?//
/Caitlin's mom is a total nightmare and wont let us in. She could be in big trouble too! I know her mom doesn't realize it but Caitlin is a trouble magnet!/
//Yes, and the item she bears is very powerful, probably one of the most powerful out of the group of eight but it is also the most dangerous.//
/Yeah, I know. Caitlin said she got stuck one time in Ryou dream but.../
//That isn't just it, aibou, the dream realm is actually a direct branch of the shadow realm, and I'm sure you know how dangerous it can be there.//
/I know. You don't think she got stuck again or lost do you Yami?/
//You cannot ever be sure, I just fear that the ring not picking up on the amulet quickly is a bad sign..... a very bad sign. There's something else too, but I can't tell you about it right now, it will just worry you.//
/Well what can we do?/
//Wait, I think I have a plan. I could just check on Caitlin for a second using my spirit form. Only the holders of the millenium items and their close friends can see us when we are spirits, so I wouldn't cause a commotion among the family that resides in that house. I'd only go in for a second, just to make sure nothing was wrong, then come back and report.//
/That's a great idea Yami!/
"Guys?" Ryou said quietly, "The item has gone mad."
Ryou had stopped his bike on the sidewalk and was staring at the ring around his neck. At first glance, I couldn't see anything wrong with it. But when I looked closer, I saw that the points on the ring kept jerking up and down in the direction we had come from.
"It has NEVER done this before." He said, biting his lip, "And it may just be me, but this doesn't look promising."
"How are we supposed to see what the matter is if that- that- WOMAN wont let us in!" Tristen said exasperatedly.
"My Yami has a plan." I said, coolly, "He wants to go into her house as the spirit form to check up on her, to be sure there isn't anything to worry about, then he'll come back and bring us all up to speed."
"If the Pharaoh's going..." Ryou said, his voice and face suddenly changing, "Then I'm coming too."
I felt my Yami take control over me. He never liked Ryou's Yami, the tomb robber, (more like hated) and had the most pleasure shooting him down or finding a good comeback phrase. I could tell Ryou's Yami (let's just call him Bakura) had the same idea and we were constantly changing back and forth into new forms so they could argue or make points at good times. I watched from my soulroom, knowing I would be out again very soon. When Yami makes up his mind, there isn't anything that can stop him unless you compromise or you are Bakura, who is as quick tongued, strong willed, and stubborn as Yami himself, possibly more so.
"I don't want you jeopardizing this Tomb Robber." He spat, "This could be a very tricky situation and I don't want you messing it up."
"Come now Pharaoh, it wouldn't be fair to leave men behind anyway. And besides, two heads are better then one." He said bitterly.
"With you as one of the heads it will take away from the job instead of aiding it."
"Is that so?"
I knew he was just acting calm at the moment because Yami wasn't and it would get on his nerves. It worked. Yami always got frustrated when people didn't take things like they should and for some reason, he felt this problem with not getting a hold of Caitlin was a huge ordeal and was eager to see what was wrong.
"You know I'm coming and that there isn't anything you can do to stop me. There hasn't been anything interesting happening lately and I just want a bit of entertainment. Something to amuse me."
He did it again, the second thing Yami hates more then ever is when people think putting other's lives in danger is amusing. Really, I doubted he actually felt that way, and really just was concerned, no that's not the right word, Bakura is never 'concerned', CURIOUS about why his item was failing to do it's job, but wanted to put on an act. Yami was very angry right now, and wasn't at all up to playing toss-the-insults with Bakura. He simply decided it was going to take longer to convince Bakura not to come then it would to just let him come and get it over with.
"Fine, Tomb Robber, you may come this one time. But if you mess this up I don't know what I'll do to you."
"Really Pharaoh, if anyone will screw the thing up it will be you." He smirked, leaving Ryou's body behind and following my Yami's form down the street and back up to the house. Everyone just blinked and looked at Ryou and me for an explanation. All I could say, was the simple answer to their expressions.
"Go on home. If it's anything serious, I'll call you."
.~`.~`.~`.~`.~`. This one's hard at first, so I'll tell you who is it, Yami .~`.~`.~`.~`.~`.
We came into Caitlin's room on our second try, only to see the ghostly form of her Yami, sitting on her bed reading a 'Cosmo Girl' magazine. Why he was reading that, we couldn't say. He looked up at us, and quickly hid the magazine behind his back.
"Hasn't anyone ever heard of knocking!?" He exclaimed, trying to stuff it under the covers without us noticing.
I smirked, "What were you doing with that?"
His face lost it's color, "Uh, well, I um, that's- that's really none of your business!"
"Uh, yes it is, spill it."
He fidgeted with the pages of the magazine, "Well, I was bored and interested and it was the only descent thing to look at." An evil grin spread across his face as he gave up trying to lie, "It tells all of girl's secret desires and wished and everything in here! It's like an instruction manual for guys!"
I could tell that Bakura wanted a look at the book, but we didn't have much time to waste looking at something useless to us anyway.
"Where is your aibou?" I asked, almost refusing to call Caitlin a 'hikari'.
Cami flipped through the pages of the magazine, "Oh her, yeah she said she'd go crazy staying in this room any longer and went outside."
For some reason, when he said that a little siren when off in my head, "How exactly did she get out? I thought her mother said she had grounded her, and I don't think Caitlin could just waltz right past them."
"She used her millenium power and snuck out without being seen. She hasn't come back for a while though."
My eyes narrowed in thought, "How long?"
"Um, I think it's been about an hour by now."
"And she still hasn't turned up?" I interrupted.
"No, I didn't think that it was such a big deal. Why are you so big about this? What's the problem?"
Bakura shook his head, "There has to be a reason my ring isn't picking the amulet up very easily."
He took the ring out to show Cami the problem that was making all of us uneasy, and waited. We all watched it, and although it gave the same message to Cami, it did something completely different then the other times before. The points were now weakly pointing at Cami, but even though they were so close to him, they were lower then they had been. With every passing second, the points sunk lower and lower until they were completely hanging down.
Cami was about to make a smart comment about how 'Bakura broke the item' I was sure, but then he himself noticed something else very wrong and his attention was taken. He blinked a few times, and brought his hand close to his face to examine it. He looked at his hand for a long time, and I, in shock I must add, watched as it slowly became more and more easy to see. It looked like it was becoming solid. I didn't want to believe what I was seeing! The ring instantly started to point at Cami, as strong as ever.
"Oh shit." Cami said, gripping his arm tightly and gritting his teeth in some kind of pain.
Bakura was in awe, "Would you mind telling me what the hell is going on here?"
Cami shook his arm a few times and bit his lip, "This hasn't ever happened before. This isn't SUPPOSESD to happen! I'm dead! I shouldn't be alive again!"
My heart almost stopped, "Alive?"
Cami let out a long, pained sigh and said slowly, "Yes alive! Are you just not seeing this hand of mine become...solid! It feels like it's being run over by a car or something! Is it alive or not? You tell me!"
He lifted his hand in the air dramatically and let it fall onto the desk. I didn't know at first, what he was up to, but I understood when the hand hit the desk hard. He winced a bit, then did it again. Both times, something happened that never happens when a Yami is in his spirit form. The hand hit the desk,
and made a sound.
***********
After calming Cami down, (which was quite a feat, because Cami kept going on and on about how this whole new millenium was messed up) and telling him to lay low for a while before we could find out why he was becoming alive again, I went back to talk to Yugi. He was confused at first, but as soon as he understood he grabbed the phone and dialed a number.
"Hello Joey? It's me. Yes I know...that's cool. Listen, remember when I said I'd call you if anything bad happened?"

"Who was that Tea?" Her mother's voice called from the kitchen.
"Just a sale's person." Tea lied, playing around once again with the numbers on the phone. Joey slumped deeper into his bean-bag chair.
"She forgot to call, I mean you can't really blame her. New family and everything..."

Yami can tell me loads of interesting things, and helps me out in tough situations. He gives me knowledge and advice, while Ryou gets bruises and Caitlin gets headaches.
"What's strange Ryou?" I repeated.
"Well, it's the ring."
Tea instantly panicked, "Oh no please don't tell me you can't pick up a signal!"
"No..." Ryou said, looking at the ring closely, "It's not that. I've got a signal, it's just not very strong. Like a half signal or something. And what is strange is that the signal keeps getting weaker and weaker, like the item is disappearing of something."

We took out bikes up to the neighborhood Caitlin showed us later. It was very large, but all the houses were very close together and they looked like no privacy was possible. Ryou took the lead with his ring and followed it up to the pink house, number 2134. Although Ryou was finally riding his bike, he had crashed four times into various things such as mailboxes, trees, and lampposts. Joey laughed when Ryou was getting himself out of his second bush.
"Maybe we should get him training wheels..." He whispered to me.
"This is the one." Ryou said, pulling a branch out from his hair while kicking down his kickstand. "According to the ring that is."
Tristen gagged at the sight of it, "It's so pink!"
"Then, we'd better get in there." Said Tea, ringing the doorbell.

"But-" I interrupted, "She forgot her homework assignments and we have to give them to her!"
"Well she shouldn't have been irresponsible. It's her own fault and I think it would serve her right to flunk the paper it would teach her a lesson."
I shook my head in disbelief, Caitlin's new mom was terrible! I never really got to know my parents, and Grampa's pretty strict but...I've never seen anyone like HER before! Reluctantly, the gang and I had to leave. But we hadn't even gone a few inches worth when Yami came up with a great idea.

I smirked, "What were you doing with that?"
His face lost it's color, "Uh, well, I um, that's- that's really none of your business!"
"Uh, yes it is, spill it."
He fidgeted with the pages of the magazine, "Well, I was bored and interested and it was the only descent thing to look at." An evil grin spread across his face as he gave up trying to lie, "It tells all of girl's secret desires and wished and everything in here! It's like an instruction manual for guys!"
I could tell that Bakura wanted a look at the book, but we didn't have much time to waste looking at something useless to us anyway.
"Where is your aibou?" I asked, almost refusing to call Caitlin a 'hikari'.

He took the ring out to show Cami the problem that was making all of us uneasy, and waited. We all watched it, and although it gave the same message to Cami, it did something completely different then the other times before. The points were now weakly pointing at Cami, but even though they were so close to him, they were lower then they had been. With every passing second, the points sunk lower and lower until they were completely hanging down.
Cami was about to make a smart comment about how 'Bakura broke the item' I was sure, but then he himself noticed something else very wrong and his attention was taken. He blinked a few times, and brought his hand close to his face to examine it. He looked at his hand for a long time, and I, in shock I must add, watched as it slowly became more and more easy to see. It looked like it was becoming solid. I didn't want to believe what I was seeing! The ring instantly started to point at Cami, as strong as ever.
"Oh shit." Cami said, gripping his arm tightly and gritting his teeth in some kind of pain.
Bakura was in awe, "Would you mind telling me what the hell is going on here?"
Cami shook his arm a few times and bit his lip, "This hasn't ever happened before. This isn't SUPPOSESD to happen! I'm dead! I shouldn't be alive again!"
My heart almost stopped, "Alive?"
Cami let out a long, pained sigh and said slowly, "Yes alive! Are you just not seeing this hand of mine become...solid! It feels like it's being run over by a car or something! Is it alive or not? You tell me!"
He lifted his hand in the air dramatically and let it fall onto the desk. I didn't know at first, what he was up to, but I understood when the hand hit the desk hard. He winced a bit, then did it again. Both times, something happened that never happens when a Yami is in his spirit form. The hand hit the desk,
and made a sound.
***********
After calming Cami down, (which was quite a feat, because Cami kept going on and on about how this whole new millenium was messed up) and telling him to lay low for a while before we could find out why he was becoming alive again, I went back to talk to Yugi. He was confused at first, but as soon as he understood he grabbed the phone and dialed a number.
"Hello Joey? It's me. Yes I know...that's cool. Listen, remember when I said I'd call you if anything bad happened?"
