Shinsei Unmei: Path of Light and Darkness

Chapter Seven: Hidden Truths

----------------------------------

Marik's world went black, as the spirit of the Sennen scale possessed him, darkening his features. To everyone who knew Marik, this was obviously not him.

The possessed Marik walked into the haze, immediately vanishing from sight. Yami no Bakura frowned, the Sennen ring having detected the activation of another Sennen item.

'Impossible! Marik doesn't have an item to use! This damned item is faulty' the thief thought, weighing his options in his head.

In the end, curiosity got the better of him and he too disappeared into the shadow realm.

Shadow Realm

Yami no Yugi looked once through his hand, although he couldn't play any cards without lowering Osiris's offense. "Now, I att-" he began, but was interrupted by a new voice.

"Pharaoh... I would not attack if I were you." Marik's voice called through the shadows, but it was somehow warped to a lower tone.

"Marik?!" Yami no Yugi exclaimed, looking around him, there was no one there.

"No pharaoh, I am merely using his body to speak to you. A pawn you could say." Marik replied, appearing to Yami no Yugi's right. "Osiris' attack would blast through the slim barrier and you would destroy the school with one blast."

'Why didn't we think of that before?!' Yami no Yugi thought stupidly, 'This is the real Osiris!'

Yami no Bakura appeared to Yami no Yugi's left, the other three spirits unaware of his presence.

"I do have a move I can make though, this duel is won!" Yami no Yugi exclaimed, his trademark sneer on his face. "I play the spell card Timeturn, which halves both our life points and returns the field to the way it was one turn ago!"

Yami no Yugi: 1400/ Priest Seto: 2000

"Wha-?" priest Seto exclaimed, watching his god card disappear.

"Now, since it's considered last turn, I play the spell Black Magic Curtain! By halving my life points again, I can special summon my Black Magician (2500), sign of offense!"

Yami no Yugi's signature monster appeared on the field, looking menacingly towards Seto's Lord of Dragons.

"Now, I equip the spell, Megamorph! Increasing my Black Magician's offensive power to 5,000!" Yami no Yugi said, watching his monster's attack grow even stronger. "I attack, black magic!"

Yami no Seto's Lord of Dragons was obliterated, taking the priest's life points with it.

Yami no Yugi: 1400/ Priest Seto: 0000

"Now, Seto! For your penalty! Shadow Game: Hatashiai no Kuragari penalty! Seal of Darkness!" Yami no Yugi bellowed, his fist splayed.

In response, Yami no Seto fell to the ground, the Sennen rod shining brightly as the high priest was sealed inside its chambers.

"Now, why are you here?!" Yami no Yugi turned to Marik, to find he had disappeared. Grumbling, Yami no Yugi left the shadow realm, leaving Seto's body in the darkness.

Yami no Bakura walked over to the lifeless shell, pulling the Sennen rod from his belt. "They make it too easy for me to do this." He laughed as he sealed a part of his spirit in the Sennen rod, weighing it in his hand.

"Ah, I suppose a little help couldn't hurt. It'll put him in my debt." He added as he slipped inside the soul corridor shared between priest Seto and Seto Kaiba.

'Just as I thought, both doors are locked.' Yami no Bakura thought, looking at the door to his left. "ekaya," he muttered, waving his hand over the door.

It sprang open with a click, revealing a very angry Seto Kaiba. "It's about time, you damned tomb robber!" he spat, glaring at the Egyptian spirit.

"You owe me brat, and you won't forget it." Yami no Bakura replied with a sneer, leaving the Sennen rod.

Seto Kaiba's body began to stir, Hikari no Seto returning to occupy it.

"Pathetic," Yami no Bakura sneered, using the Sennen ring to take Seto and leave the shadow realm.

Hogwarts

Yami no Bakura and Seto appeared in their empty Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, leaving Yami no Yugi to deal with the headmaster.

As Yami no Bakura began to appear in the DADA classroom, Yami no Yugi was in the headmaster's office, waiting to be scolded by Dumbledore.

While Yami no Yugi was waiting, he released control to his hikari, who looked solemnly around the room. Yugi was looking at the many fascinating objects that lined the walls when a red and gold bird flew inside from an open window, taking up residence on the headmaster's desk.

"Are you supposed to be here?" Yugi asked the bird calmly, walking over to stroke his feathers. "Yes, Fawkes is a rather handsome phoenix, isn't he?" professor Dumbledore said from behind him, making Yugi jump.

"Oh sorry professor! I didn't realize you were here!" Yugi bowed, blocking the glow of the Sennen puzzle from the headmaster as he switched places with Yami no Yugi.

"Understandable Mr. Mutou, Fawkes is a wondrous bird." Professor Dumbledore said as he came in the door, shutting it quietly behind him.

"Mr. Mutou, allow me to tell you about why you're here." Dumbledore began, sitting down behind his desk.

"The "Sennen Ritual" found in the Book of Darkness, once carried out creates seven items, each infused with a power of Darkness. A necklace designed to see the past and future, an Ankh crafted to modify souls. A scepter made to control the mind, a Ring constructed to seal the heart. A scale that judges the victim's actions, an Eye formed to read their minds."

"Lastly, a puzzle designed to seal the darkness, and preserve the world with its slumber." The headmaster finished, meeting Yami no Yugi's eyes. "You and your companions are the hosts of these seven items, putting you at great risk of attack from dark wizards blinded by their greed."

"Do you have any questions Mr. Mutou?" professor Dumbledore asked, picking up a quill from his desk.

"No sir." Yami no Yugi replied, getting out of the chair he was sitting in. "Remember Mr. Mutou, it is our choices that make us who we are." Professor Dumbledore said as Yami no Yugi walked out of his office, down the spiraling staircase, and out of the entrance concealed by a gargoyle statue.

On his way up to the Gryffindor common room, Yugi walked by his DADA classroom, and heard voices inside.

"M-M-M-M-Master! Must I? Y-Y-Y Yes sir..." Professor Quirrell stammered, rewrapping his overstuffed turban as he ran out of the room.

Yugi shrugged and continued on, taking his time as he went up the stairs to the fourth floor. He was walking by a boy's lavatory on the fourth floor when he heard a loud thump and two people arguing.

"What now Potter? Not so good without a wand eh?" Draco Malfoy sniggered as Yugi listened through the door, and Harry replied.

"Pathetic Draco, having to ambush me to beat me? I think you need to be punished." Harry growled, and a gasp of surprise came from Draco. Yugi opened the door to see something he definitely didn't expect.

"Harry?" Yugi asked, as Yami no Yugi made an exclamation from his soul room.

Harry was facing Draco with his back to the door, a golden light shining from somewhere on his chest. "I'll have you expelled!" Draco stammered, backing up against the wall.

"Shadow Game... Hatashiai no Kuragari!" he spat, and they disappeared before Yugi's eyes.

'Yami!' Yugi called through their mental link, the Sennen puzzle glowing faintly as they switched places.

Just as Yami no Yugi took over, Harry and Draco returned, the latter looking worse for the wear.

"Shadow Game: Hatashiai no Kuragari penalty! Soul release!" Harry called, splaying his fist towards Draco.

Draco's form shattered, and then reappeared, his soul removed. "Harry!" Yami no Yugi growled, watching the Gryffindor turn around.

'The Sennen ankh!' Yugi exclaimed from inside his soul room, staring at the golden item hanging from Harry's neck.

"Harry, give me back my necklace." Yami no Yugi drawled, holding out his hand. "No pharaoh. I believe I'll keep it." Harry sneered back, pulling out his wand. "But having you here just won't do. Avada Kedav-"

Just as Harry was about to finish his incantation, a magical blast of Ka blasted through a stall door, hurling Harry across the room and into a wall, knocking him unconscious.

"Kaiba?" Yami no Yugi asked, unsure of how to respond to this act.

Seto's face was a look of absolute horror, staring at the Sennen rod in his hand as if it were a deadly snake. Seto barreled past Yugi and hurried out of the bathroom, a look of horror on his face.

"How did Harry get his hands on this?" Yami no Yugi wondered aloud, turning the item over in his hands.

'Because it's his, idiot.' A familiar voice said through both Yugis' minds, stirring a memory from the distant past.

Memory

Yami no Yugi sitting on the pharaoh's throne, watching two of his priests duel in his name. "Pharaoh. Most urgent news from High Priest Seto." A person near him said, bowing in respect.

"Shada, what does the high priest want?" pharaoh Atem asked, watching one of his loyal priests unroll a parchment. "Pharaoh, the High Priest sends word that Cairo is under attack..."
