Magicman/Smokegirl - Somehow I don't think you're going to get it, lol, so I'll explain. Jounouchi is a normal boy but with a powerful Ka, that of the Red Eyes Black Dragon. Anyway, thanks for reviewing.
LoneGothic - Lol, I know Isis is a bit mean but oh well, it's all part of the story! Thanks for voting and you're a year off btw!
Kris Bluesummers - Well I'm planning on having a tiny bit of Malik x Marik conflict so it works. As for Isis, how would you react if you thought someone had killed you're brother?
dbz422 - Okay, thanks.
norestar angel - Okay, thanks, maybe!
LuvinAnime - Yep, you got it so hope you enjoy this chapter too.
Moon Struck Sea - There isn't any fluff this chapter but there will be sometime in the future.
Hikaru - Glad you like it, 'Love and Lust in Ancient Egypt' is fantastic though, no? Oh and I have a special thing planned for you like I promised. (YamixAnzu no less) :-)
Kerrie-chan - Thank-you for casting you're vote.
Whimsical Lady - Don't worry, I don't intend to stop, just take short (fortnight more like) breaks now and then ;;;, the quote is from something I plan on reading...can't remember what at the moment though. As for my age well, let's just say you're a couple of years out and you, hmm....14? I don't know. The servant I meant was the lion one with the blonde hair, and I haven't watched Escaflowne for a while so I may be mistaken. My friend likes Van x Hitomi but I don't really mind. Anyway, thanks for reviewing, hope you'll do so again! :-)
DojomistressAmbyChan - Let's just say they were together.

"What do you want us to do Pegasus-sama?" a servant bowed at the grey haired man's feet.
"Kill the traitors and bring the girl to me," he felt a ripple of magic in the air but dismissed as the servant and nodded and left. "Oh," Pegasus added, the servant stopped, "and bring her alive."
"Yes my lord," the servant was gone.
Pegasus turned to look at a stone tablet standing proudly by his throne, there was one either side, one of the Blue Eyes White Dragon and the other, the Black Magician. Pegasus smirked cruelly and walked over to the stone tablet containing the Black Magician. Pegasus starred at it for a moment, his Senen Eye flashed dangerously and the front of the tablet seemed to become translucent.
Now, Pegasus could see through the tablet to the Shadow Realm, "Let me out of here Pegasus," Mahado growled banging his fists against the barrier separating him from the real world.
"Now, now Mahado-boy, you should be calmer than that," Pegasus drawled, smirking dangerously, "We wouldn't want you getting hurt now, would we?"
Mahado glared at him but sighed in a defeated manner, "Mark my words Pegasus, Atemu will come for you!"
Pegasus laughed, a cruel laugh, "Atemu?" he looked at the Black Magician, "Don't you mean Yami?"
Mahado went pale and fell silent, still, momentarily stunned by the realisation of what Pegasus was implying. "He won't remember you, he doesn't even know what duelling is anymore, do you really expect him to save you?"
"That's not true," Mahado said defiantly.
"We'll see," Pegasus sneered and then turned, walking off and out of site; but he did not forget to re-seal the barrier between the Shadow Realm and this world.
---Anzu---
The girl had been in her room for a while now, she hadn't wanted to face Yami and the others just yet. She shivered, gee it was cold in here, wait. She looked up to see that her curtains rippled slightly as the wind that poured in from the open window disturbed them.
Anzu walked over to it and reached for the handle, her thing fingers closed around it silently and she looked up at the stars that decorated the night sky. She sighed and was about to close the window when a hand closed around her mouth and an arm encircled her waist.
She screamed, but it was muffled and then tried to bite the hand as she was carried off and away from the comforts of her room. She didn't get a good glimpse of her kidnapper but she did see the red and gold rays of the sun as it rose from beyond the hills surrounding Domino.
Her eyes widened, she hoped Yami and the others had gotten in on time.
---Yami---
"I think we all need to go inside," Yami announced looking around and then looking up at the sky.
"Yes, the stars are fading fast," Seto replied.
Yami, Seth and Bakura began to make their way back towards the house, "Prince, wait for Mana!" the little Magician's apprentice took a hop skip and a jump and landed beside Yami who smiled down at her and she beamed up at him. As far as the little spellcaster was concerned, Mahado was her father and Yami was her brother, two things she'd never really had.
Malik began to follow but sensed the unease in both Isis and Rishid, "Won't you come sister? Rishid?" he looked at both in turn but Isis cringed.
"Malik, in that house resides the Slayer, not only that but, well…" Isis trailed off and Malik knew what she meant.
Malik looked at the ground, then looked defiantly back up at his sister, "The Slayer, as you call her, is called and Anzu and she was willing to give me a chance and I'll give her one too," Malik replied stubbornly.
"Malik, I know she may seem nice to you but it may all be an act," Isis was cut short when Malik interrupted her again. Rishid had remained quite throughout the whole affair.
"An act?" Malik repeated incredulously, "You think a teenage girl with four vampires living in her basement would be putting on an act?"
Isis nodded slightly, "Why sister? For what point and purpose?"
"To betray us to him," she replied, equally as stubborn.
"But sister, wasn't that our job?" and with that Malik stormed off towards the house, grateful for a place to stay and not having to sleep out in the cold all night.
Rishid came up beside Isis and rubbed her bares arms gently, "Maybe the boy is right and we should give the girl a chance for being human, not for being the Slayer," Isis looked up and him and nodded.
"Deep down I know you are right and I also fear that Malik has become to attached," the sun began to creep up over the edge of the horizon; Isis paused, stiffened suddenly as a scent came over her.
She looked up to see a black figure grasping a struggling Anzu flying away, "The girl," she gasped.
Rishid looked up too just as Malik came out and shouted at them, "She's gone, Anzu's gone."
"We know Malik," Isis replied, she and Rishid moving up to meet the tanned blonde, "but we cannot follow, I smelt him on that kidnapper," Isis growled.
"Then what do we do?" Malik demanded heatedly, but his anger was cut short by the urge to yawn widely.
"I suggest we sleep now and work on this in the morning," Rishid said wisely and despite any further protests he ushered the two werewolves into the house.
Isis and Rishid roomed with him, since Anzu wasn't there to say if they could use other rooms or not, but despite how he tried Malik could not get to sleep. He sat up the entire time watching the sun rise and the sky lighten, he sighed heavily when he felt Isis stir beside him.
"Up already Malik?" she asked, but then she noticed the bags under his eyes and she scowled, "Did you sleep at all?" her brother shook his head.
"Malik-sama is concerned for his friend, no?" both blood siblings looked at their adoptive brother, Malik nodded in silent agreement again and Isis shook her head.
"Alright, fine, I give, we'll look for her, but," Malik looked at her imploringly, "but only if you get some sleep."
Malik laughed, "Okay sister," he flopped down and closed his eyes, "better?"
"Much," Rishid snorted.

Ryuuji yawned as he climbed out of bed and stepped towards the window, looking out at the view of Domino rooftops he had from the top of his game shop.
Suddenly, his peaceful reverence was disturbed by his phone ringing, he moved towards it, scratching his bare stomach idly as he picked up the black instrument and held it to his ear.
"Moshi, moshi, Otogi Ryuuji speaking," he said into the receiver.
"Konichiwa Ryuuji-kun," the young girl's voice replied.
"Oh, Becca-chan, I wasn't expecting a call from you, how are things with you?" he said conversationally, hoping this wasn't about what he feared it was about.
"Oh fine," he sighed gratefully, "except for the random burst of power I keep sensing, Ryuuji-kun, what's going on?" the girl demanded.
"Oh Becca-chan, it's complicated," Ryuuji answered, his shoulders slumped as he realised this was about what he feared it would be.
"Well you'll have to explain it to me sooner or later Ryuuji-kun, I've already had Mako on my back," the girl argued.
"I, Becca-chan don't do this," Ryuuji said painfully.
"Ryuuji, you promised it was over, I know you're lying to me and it won't help, I'm half-way to Japan anyway so either way you're going to explain what's going on to me," she explained and Ryuuji sighed again.
"Alright, fine, I'll explain when you get here," he finished softly.
"Okay," the girl was calmer now than she had been, "goodbye Ryuuji-kun."
"Goodbye Rebecca," Ryuuji replied and hung up, his shoulders sagged and his eyes downcast. This was not a good morning.
