Separation
Prologue
Seto was on his way to discuss funding a new dig with Isis. The museum was empty, dark, and a bit creepy. He moved lightly, his footsteps echoing in the halls. He reached the room with the plaques of the Shadow Games and came face to face with HER.
The girl had long black hair, covered by a cloak that looked convincingly like a wolf skin. The face of the wolf covered her eyes and nose, but Seto could see through the eye slits, eyes that were as blue as his own. The girl wore a silver pendant with an enormous purple crystal, and on the pendant, was a familiar eye.
"What are you doing here??" Seto demanded. "This museum is closed!"
The girl turned to face him. The pendant glowed. "Too bad you saw me. I won't kill you, but when you wake up I'll be LONG gone!"
Seto blanked out, only to be found, unconscious an hour later, by Isis.
Chapter 1 Seto's Discovery, Yugi's Mystery
"Wow! They had a break in Jounuchi?" Yugi's eyes widened.
"Yup!" Joey held out the paper to Yugi. "Appearantly Isis found Seto unconscious on the ground. He woke up six hours later and reported seeing a girl in the room where they had all that stuff on the Shadow Games." Joey shivered.
They were in the back room of the shop. Joey, Tea, Tristan, Ryou, Mai, Marik and Otogi had come to visit. "How did he get knocked out?" Ryou wondered. "I remember he beat the crap out of Joey, and Joey isn't a pushover when it comes to a physical fight."
Joey shrugged. "The article doesn't say. But there's a tiny paragraph at the end that says nobody was hurt and nothing was taken. So at least he stopped something from happening further."
"She had this." Seto was standing in the doorway. He handed a sketchpad to Yugi.
"Seto!" Everybody gasped.
"yeah yeah yeah." Seto waved away their shock. "Yugi, I came to speak to Yami about this."
Yami came out of the puzzle in shade form. "Let me see."
Seto had accurately sketched the girl as he'd seen her before he blacked out. "I think it's a Millenium Item. The problem is that all the records say that there are only seven aren't there?"
"There were seven powerful ones." Bakura came out of the ring, also in shade form, and leaned over Yugi's shoulder to see. "They were more powerful, but there were others made. I remember that before I was sealed into the ring, some people were talking about making replacements, in case the originals were lost or stolen, or destroyed. You, pharaoh, were about a week away from making your decision on the matter the day you sealed me away. But that, was already in existence. It belonged to your sister, princess Gaiana, but she was assassinated. High priest Seto tried seal her soul away in it at the last moment, but failed." Bakura explained. "She kind of looks like Gaiana, maybe she's her reincarnation, kind of like Seto is."
Yami's blinked. "I don't remember my family, my memories still have some holes in them."
Bakura shrugged. "That's because I still have the Millenium Ring and Millenium Eye, each Item contains a different portion of your memories. There are bound to be a few holes in your head."
Yami glared at him. Then studied the sketch. "Wow, Seto, where'd you learn to draw like that?"
"I had to learn concept drawing as part of developing technology. I eventually got very good at drawing." Seto shrugged. "Can you guys keep an eye out for her? I want to know what she was doing at the museum after hours, and how she got in without setting off the alarms."
Ishtar floated over. "A girl in a cloak? Do you know WHY I had my Rare Hunter's wear cloaks like that?" He asked. "Its because if you don't have eye and hair color, a policeman can't identify you. I even had some of my better hunters burn their finger prints off so that they wouldn't leave any of them. No prints, no I.D."
"That cloak, it looks kind of like a Silver Fang." Tea shivered. "That's pretty good sewing that she did. Maybe I should check out some of the local costume shops, look and see who sells hand made duel monster costumes."
"That's a good idea." Tristan shrugged. "Otogi, do you know anything about her?"
Otogi had picked up the pad and was scrutinizing it carefully. "Is this a duel gauntlet?" He asked, pointing to a part of the pad."
"It looked like it." Seto blinked. "But it was white."
Otogi looked up sharply. "White?"
"Do YOU know anything about this?" Seto asked.
"Yes." Otogi shivered. "Colored Eliminator Gloves were given to Eliminators with special skills, such as mechanics and cooking. Only a few of them were given out. They were the managers that maintained Duelists Kingdom. They picked symbols to have stitched on them. A normal Duel Gauntlet was given to their staff members. The white gauntlet was given to domestic staff. Their leader was Pegasus' little sister, Natari. She must have been one of Natari's peeps. I'll bet if you had gotten a better look, you'd have seen a silver dove on it. That means that she was an intermediate rank Active Dueling Staff member. Or A.D.S. for short."
"Yeah, and that REALLY narrows it down Otogi." Joey rolled his eyes.
"It could help..." Tea glared at him.
"So what do we do?" Yugi asked.
"We keep our eyes open." Bakura shrugged.
"Here's my Cell phone." Seto shivered. "Personally, I'm afraid of that girl."
"We'll call if we find her."
~meanwhile~
"NYA-CHAN!"
"Natari-san, I'm back. Where are Carola and Selene?"
"Selene is busy making her brother's life miserable."
"What did that little bug do THIS time?"
"He RIGGED a competitor's deck."
"OH NO! WEEVIL!"
"Yeah. And Carola and Fera are practicing, Fera's got some new lyrics. And they're pretty good. She's on a metaphor kick, but these are pretty powerful."
"Oh, by the way."
"What?"
"There's an add from Kaiba Corp in the paper. They're looking for industrial sculpture for Kaiba Land. I think I've finally found a place for my apprentice work under Charla."
"Just be careful, he's already seen you once."
"I will. Got those color contacts?"
"You... you and your costumes... will get you into trouble some day."
The two girls threw back their heads and laughed.
