Joy: Okay, peoples. I realized I forgot the disclaimer last chapter. I'm such a baka. I'll put it here.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh. I also don't own the following: Tokyo, duel disks, or, sadly, anything associated with Duel Monsters. Sakura, The Millennium Crossbow, Cala, and Caru are proudly owned by Sakura Panther. Go check her stories out and stuff.

Ari: Arigatou for your review! Keep reading!

Sakura: (gave her review in an email) Arigatou! I am glad my translations helped out. I hope you like your character's entrance and talk to you later!

Dark mage of sea 13: No problem! Mmm…cookies… =D

Silver Moon Phoenix: I can't choose! ARGH! Okay, I'm just gonna have to pick one… I'll email about the deck afterwards.

Sapphire: Okay. Sounds good. I'll use that one.

This chapter was HARD to write. It was hard because this chapter introduces and OC. And not just any OC. This one has a Millennium Item. And two dark sides! How can that be? Well…that's how it got complicated. I had to explain it somehow. Thanks to Sakura's details I think I was able to pull it off. Arigatou Sakura! I just hope I did it right…I have never written anything about an eighth item…Anyway… Here comes chapter 2!

A Little Help

Yami and Sorcerer had lost track of Bakura as they left the crowds of duelists and got onto more unpopulated streets of Tokyo. The Thief King still had control of Joy's body. "Where could they be?" Yami asked.

"Can you track him with the Puzzle?" Sorcerer asked.

"I shall try." Yami closed his eyes and concentrated on Bakura's Ring. Then he opened them, looking off to the northwest. "This way."

…Meanwhile…

Bakura! Slow down! Ryou could be nearby! You don't want to miss him.

I know! That's why –

Bakura stopped when a robed figure appeared in front of him. He heard Joy gasp.

Oh, Ra! Vargon!

Barkura's eyes narrowed. "So…you are Vargon."

"And you are the thief known as Bakura. I was actually hoping to meet you. You are, of course, the spirit of the Millennium Ring, and Item I will soon claim as my own, along with the other Items."

"Tch. I do not think so."

"Oh, but I do. Prepare…for oblivion!"

Vargon prepared to fire a black energy ball. He was just about to unleash it when a golden arrow shot through the air, heading straight for him. It would have hit it's mark, but Vargon managed to see it in time to vanish into thin air.

"Damn. I almost had him."

Bakura looked over to the right to see a teenage girl about his height standing several feet to the right. Who is that? Joy asked. Bakura's eyes narrowed a bit.

It's her. You talk to her. Besides, I've lost track of Ryou again.

The Ring glowed as Joy got control of her body once more. Joy blinked, then looked over at the other girl, getting a better look at her. She had brown hair that came just paste her shoulders with black and blonde highlights cascading down it. She wore a navy button-up blouse and jean shorts that came down nearly to her knees.

The girl looked over at her, her emerald eyes also studying Joy. Then she came over to Joy.

"Hey! You okay? That was a close call."

"Oh…yeah. I'm okay. Thanks for your help, Miss…"

The girl smiled. "Oh! Sorry 'bout that. The name's Sakura. Sakura Kodasawa."

"Kodasawa-san. Arigatou." Joy bowed. Sakura blinked, then smiled again. "I'm Joy Houyoku."

"No need for all that formality stuff. Just Sakura is fine. Please to meet you!"

"Then you can call me Joy. And it's great to meet you, too." They exchange a smile. "How did you know to come, Sakura?" Joy asked.

"With this." Sakura held up a golden crossbow. On the handle was the Eye of Ra.

"Is that a Millennium Item?" Sakura nodded. "But, I thought there were only seven."

"Well, this one's special. It's in a class outside the seven."

Suddenly, a transparent female appeared by Sakura. She looked had similar features to Sakura, except her hair was completely black with one blonde streak down one side. She also had the biggest smile on her face. It reminded Joy of the smiles Yugi gave out regularly. "Oh! Oh! Can I tell her about it?! Pllleeaase?"

Sakura rolled her eyes. Joy looked over at the spirit. "You have a dark too, Sakura?" she asked.

Just then, another spirit appeared, this one looked exactly like the other except her hair was completely brown with a single blonde streak down one side. "Actually, she has two. Greetings. I am Caru, and my sugar-high sister here is Cala. We are the twin spirits of the Millennium Crossbow."

"So how is there an eighth item?" Joy asked, curiosity getting the better of her.

"You see," Cala started. "Right before the seven Items that you know about were created, the Pharaoh of the time, Pharaoh Yami's father, decided that he wanted an Item that could be used in his army. He didn't like the idea that the Items had to be sealed up and protected for five millennia. It meant he couldn't use them against his enemies. So he had his mages secretly create another Item – the Millennium Crossbow."

"The sacrifice for the process was his wife, Pharaoh Yami's mother," Caru said, picking up the story, "And us. They couldn't use the Lady Katilli. She was to be used to create the seven and that would cause trouble. The pharaoh made up a story about his wife's death, which was believed by the people. The result – we were sealed into the Crossbow and the pharaoh had his weapon."

"Weren't crossbows too modern a weapon in ancient Egypt?"

"The pharaoh had very intuitive military minds that cooked up the idea," Cala explained. "Bows and arrows were not a new thing, so all they had to do was expand on that idea. All the pharaoh had to do was tell then what he wanted it to look like, and wha-la!"

"So, where any other items created like that?" Joy asked. "I mean, when Katilli sacrificed herself, seven items were created. Aren't the rituals the same?"

"No. The queen could only be used to create one Item. She did not have magical properties as great as her daughter's," Caru answered.

Joy spoke to Bakura. If Vargon got wind of this, Sakura would be in danger, too. That Item is gonna look real appealing to him. It is a weapon after all. She turned to Sakura. "Sakura, Vargon – the mage you just shot at – is after Millennium Items. If he sees yours, it could be dangerous for you. I want you to be on your guard. Don't let it out of your sight. Cala, Caru, please look after her and the Item. Vargon is very dangerous. He's already caused so much damage, including kidnapping and he has captured my dark."

That was when Sakura noticed the Ring. "The Millennium Ring! But I though Ryou had it."

"Yeah, well, a lot has happened in the last few weeks. It seems Ryou gave the Ring to my father to give to me. To protect it."

"But what about Ryou?" Sakura asked with growing concern.

"Well, we don't know where he went after giving the Ring to dad. Bakura thought he sensed him in the area. But he lost him when Vargon showed up. If you see him, though, hang onto him. Vargon will most likely be looking for him, too." The three nodded.

"So what now?" Sakura asked.

"We are going to stop him by collecting the seven Items. That is the only way. And you three are going to have to keep low, especially about the items. Don't got into any alleys, okay?"

"Don't worry. We got her back. You watch out, too. I mean, you have the Ring and all," Cala said.

"I will." Sakura looked down at her watch, her eyes widening slightly.

"We gotta go! Come on, you two," Sakura ordered. The two spirits disappeared, as did Bakura. "See you later, Joy!" Sakura said as she ran off.

"Bye! And be careful!" Joy called back. Then she looked at her watch. "Oh, shit! We gotta go! The tournament starts in less than ten minutes!" She ran off toward the Square.

A few minutes later, she spotted Yami and Sorcerer walking toward her. "Hey! What's up?"

"Joy, you finally have control of your body, again. Are you okay?" Yami asked.

"Just fine, but we gotta go or we'll miss the start of the tournament!" She grabbed Yami's wrist in one hand and Sorcerer's in the other and dragged the two off toward the fountain.

Joy: How did that go? Sakura, did I do your character justice? Was she too out of character? Did I explain things right? (Sigh) I hope so.

Just a bit of a spoiler – I will try to do an intro to every OC and explain them a bit. But those that gave me OCs asked me to make their decks up, except for Silver Moon Phoenix, so keep in mind that it will take some time before the dueling between them starts…but not to worry. I conned my little brother into helping me. He's pretty good at deck building, and he has a lot of time on his hands with school out. Of course, that means I'll have to duel him…bribery… (sweatdrops)

Anyway, if you want me to use a deck of your choice and you haven't told me yet, that's okay. There's still time. I'm still working out OC entrances, so I haven't gotten to decks yet. If you make up a few cards in the deck, that's fine, but you must tell me attributes of the card (ATK/DEF and description of what it does, etc.) Just don't make up the whole deck. If not, I will create decks for you.

Now that the rant is done, hope that doesn't piss anyone off. So, there will be another OC introduction in the next chapter. Dark mage of the sea 13, I think it will be yours. I know how I want to bring her in. So if there is anything I need to know, you need to let me know beforehand, okay? Cool. Review and see you later, everyone!
