Shadow's Story
Okie...This may or may not be the last chapter. It all depends on how, and when I write. I did the same part 3 times, and still wasn't satisfied with what I wrote. Anyway, once this is finished, watch out for Carissa, the story of Shadow's hikari, Cari. (I'm only about ΒΌ finished it, and then I must type it, so don't look too soon!) And....DAMN YOU WRITERS BLOCK!!!! (I'm really sorry this took so long to get out. I really suck --;)

One year later
Shadow had healed a great deal since that day. Although, it never fully healed. She still had to wear bandages around her stomach, and she had to be more careful, when it came to battles.
There had already been a fierce battle, during the time she was still healing, though. Even with all of Yami's protests to her leaving, she went into battle, staining her blade with the blood of a thousand or more men. But, unfortunately for her, near the end of the battle, her wound was reopened, and she was rushed back to the palace.
She was healed, again, though.
Slowly Shadow walked down the hallway towards the throne room early one hot morning. As she approached she heard voices coming from the room. Loud, bellowing voices.
"She could collapse at any moment!"
"I DON'T CARE!"
"She shouldn't be in her position anymore! You could be killed so easily with her as your guard!"
"I would not!"
"You are being irrational!"
"I AM NOT! NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!"
Shadow moved away from the door as it swung open, revealing a very angry, High Priest Seto.
He glared at her. "This is all your fault, you filthy wench."
"Excuse me?!" She said, taken aback.
"You heard me perfectly well! Now get out of my way!" he pushed past her, and quickly walked down the hall.
She glared coldly at his retreating back. "If I didn't have a duty to attend to. . ." she trailed off, turned, and headed into the throne room.
"Shadow, there you are." Yami said exasperatedly, standing in the middle of the throne room.
"I. ..take it, he doesn't want me to be your guard anymore?" she said tiredly, leaning on the spear she had with her slightly.
"It's the third time this week we've had that same argument." Yami replied.
"I see" Shadow shook her head.
Yami sighed, and walked over to the few stairs that lead up to the throne, he then walked up the stairs, and flopped down into it. "I don't know what his problem is."
Shadow shrugged, and walked over to the bottom of the stairs. "Oh, I almost forgot! Seto has, somehow, managed to flood the jail with 'potential' evil souls, and thieves."
"How'd he manage that?" Yami said wonderingly.
"I'm not too sure, but all I know is, he's been going out with Shadi and staying gone, for even days at a time, at one point, and coming back with a cart load of people."
Yami nodded, taking all this in.
Just then Shadow heard footstep going by the throne room. She turned to see Akunadin standing in the doorway, watching them. He quickly turned, and rushed away.
"I wonder what his problem is. . ."Shadow muttered to herself. She shrugged it off, and talked with Yami the rest of the day.
One week later
Shadow slept, tossing and turning from side to side. Suddenly, she sat bolt upright, panting and sweating. She clutched the millennium tauk that resided around her neck, and frowned. She unclipped it, and placed it on the table beside her bed, then fell back asleep.
The next morning, she woke up, got dressed, and headed to the throne room, as usual.
When she reached the throne room, she placed herself beside Yami, as always. The morning progressed as it usually did. As did the afternoon.
But, right after supper, the large double doors to the room burst open, followed by a huge dust cloud.
Shadow shielded her eyes, and squinted slightly, trying to see who it was that burst into the room. Her eyes grew wide as the dust cleared, and she saw Bakura standing in the doorway, carrying with him, many things.
Yami stood, and Shadow moved the long spear she held so that it would be easy to thrust forward, or throw, if necessary.
Bakura walked into the room, the many eyes of the people within watched his every move. He dropped some of what he was carrying onto the floor infront of him. Yami gasped, and stepped forward, as Shadow cupped a hand to her mouth. Lying on the floor infront of Bakura was a mummy.
"Why, hello pharaoh. I thought, to add to the moment, you could have a reunion with your father." Bakura sneered, kicking the mummy slightly.
Yami growled low, then barked "What do you want, Bakura?!"
"Why, pharaoh, you know perfectly well what I want."Bakura said, repositioning the mummy with one foot, clearing the stones infront of him.
Yami snorted, and walked down the stairs to the floor, and stood infront of Bakura and the mummy.
Shadow moved forward, and now stood about halfway down the stairs that led to the throne.
Yami bent, and picked up the mummy, then moved away from Bakura.
Bakura's eyes widened, and he growled. "Are you even paying attention to me?!"
Yami said nothing, and placed the mummy near Mahadoo. "Please, find a place to put my father." Mahaado nodded, picked up the mummy, and quickly moved away.
Shadow poised herself so she could easily throw the spear she held at Bakura.
"Of course I was paying attention to you, tomb robber."Yami said, then turned back to him, his eyes full of hate, and anger.
Bakura smiled. "That's good. Now, like I promised, I'm back to kill you." Diaboundo appeared behind him, the priests, and Shadow all moved back slightly.
Yami frowned, and walked back to the bottom of the stairs. "Fine. I'll fight you. But don't think you'll win."
Bakura raised an eyebrow, and smiled.
Yami held up a hand, and called out for his servant "OBELISK!"
The towering creature loomed behind Yami.
"Look upon your doom Bakura,"Shimon said, standing a few feet behind Shadow, "the pharaoh's God servant, Obelisk!"
Bakura's eyes widened, and he stopped smiling. "A god?"
Yami yelled for the god to attack, as did Bakura.
The two monsters clashed, causing a blinding flash of light.
When it faded both monsters vanished.
"Heh. . .looks like your god is equal in power to my obelisk. Well, before I leave to regain my strength . . .might I ask you, to look outside?"Bakura said, before running out of the hall.
Shadow chased after him, passing Yami as she went. As she reached the stairs leading out to the city, she looked upon a site of pure disaster. Yami and the other priests did not follow her, meaning they had run out onto the adjoining balcony to the hall, to look upon the destruction. Bakura was riding away on his horse, followed by many people in black cloaks. The entire city was on fire, or partially demolished.
Shadow stepped back slightly, tears coming to her eyes. How could he do this? Especially after what happen to their own home village?
