A/N: This idea came to me randomly after watching Anastasia and listening to Life Is A Road too many times, thankfully I resisted the urge to throw random Russian duchesses into the fic, well, maybe one or two will make appearances… but really, who doesn't love random Russian duchesses? I know I do!

Shadi: Please, no random Russian duchesses! NO!
Anastasia: What's wrong with random Russian duchesses? Hmmmm?
Shadi: Uh…. Nothing?
SLC: Now now children… Shadi? Shouldn't you be making out with Pegasus in a closet or something?
Shadi: YOU PROMISED NOT TO TALK ABOUT THAT!
Isis: What's this I hear about you and Pegasus and a closet? I must have missed that…
SLC: You were too busy with Rishid… wink wink nudge nudge
Isis: YOU PROMISED NOT TO TALK ABOUT THAT!
SLC: Heh… heh… today just isn't my day for secrets…

Ahem. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this fic!

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of the characters from it, I do own my OCs and the plot is of my own creation.

Summary: Shadi sets out on a quest to find the last two Sennen Item holders before he can finally rest, passing on the final two items that he holds. His quest leads him from China to France, and on the way he finds something unexpected. NOTE: Italics are either a vision, a dream or a flashback.

Isis looked at Shadi not sure what to think. He wanted her help finding the holders of the remaining Sennen Items. After the Pharaoh had regained his memories and defeated Zork, Shadi had decided that it was time for all the items to be distributed to their rightful owners, Isis had been returned her Sennen Tauk and now she supposed that was why Shadi wanted her help. She could use her item to foretell where they might find the final two holders.

Isis didn't know all of what went on while the Pharaoh regained his memories and she certainly didn't know everything about Shadi, but she did know enough to understand that when it came to the Sennen Items, no one knew better than Shadi.

"I will help you," Isis declared, staring at the mysterious man.

"Thank you," Shadi turned to leave, "I will return in three days time and we will set out on our journey to find the final holders. If you receive any visions, inform me."

Isis nodded and Shadi left her.

Malik, who had been shooed from the room when Shadi appeared, hurried back in,

"What was that about, sister?" Malik had a probably well-placed distrust of the strange man.

"I am going to be going on a trip," Isis informed her younger brother, who was looking questioningly at her.

"A trip?" Malik questioned, "where? Why?"

"Shadi wishes my help in finding the last Sennen Item holders, my Tauk may reveal to me clues to their locations. I do not know where we will begin our search, hopefully my item will send me a vision."

"What will you do when you find them?" Malik looked genuinely curious now, not suspicious about Shadi.

"I assume Shadi means to give them their Sennen Items, and then we will return," Isis explained to her brother.

"Will you tell Yuugi about your quest for the holders?" Malik was certainly very inquisitive.

"I can only assume that Shadi will inform him, he will probably want to put him in contact with the holders once we have found them, so that if he has need of them he can call them to him," Isis certainly hoped that Yuugi would never have need of the Sennen Item holders because that could only mean trouble.

"Well, good luck with that then, sister," Malik grinned at his sister and left Isis to think over the journey she would soon be leaving on.

"I challenge you to a duel! If you win you can have my life and my scales, if I win I get your life!" the man's voice rang clear and loud as he stood defiantly facing a woman who glared heatedly at him, her sword pointed at his neck.

"I could kill you now and be done with it," she said, pressing the tip of her sword under his neck.

"And be cursed by the gods forever for killing an unarmed priest and stealing his Sennen Item without a fair duel," he smirked at the woman, not even flinching as she dug her sword deeper into his neck and a trickle of blood ran down his chest.

"I have killed the unarmed before, but I will duel you fairly for your scales," she withdrew her sword, "I don't want to risk the scales not revealing their powers to me because I did not win them fairly."

He let a smug grin cross his face and he stepped back to duel her, little did she know that he was one of the few strong enough to have a soul monster that they could summon, there was no way she could defeat him.

Li-Ming sat up in bed, her eyes flying open. She was sweating and her hair was clinging to her face and neck. She'd had the same dream every night for the past week, and she never got farther in the dream than the man's familiar grin as they prepared for the duel. What she found so unnerving was that between the two figures in the dream, they could have been her parents for all that she resembled them.

Standing up Li-Ming headed to her mirror, hoping that maybe in the night she'd suddenly changed and when she looked into it she wouldn't see features she dreamt about every night on two people who weren't her. But there, staring back at her in a face almost identical to the man's, were the woman's wide green eyes.

Li-Ming sat back down on her bed and reached onto her bedside table for her deck. Just holding it helped to calm her and she began shuffling it, relieving some of her nervous tension left over from the unnerving dream.

If only she knew why she was dreaming about these people who resembled her so closely, and why she never got farther than the start of their duel. Who won? And how did that affect her?

Staring down at the card she held in her hand, she smiled; it was her favourite card, the Celtic Guardian. Nothing could shake the remnants of the strange dream from her mind like the calming effect of her favourite card. The dream's meaning would become apparent in time, wouldn't it?

Rishid looked at his sister warily, "are you sure it's a good idea?"

"Shadi says we need to find the last holders, and he knows more about the Sennen Items than we, so we must accept this and he has asked for my help and I can only give it," Isis explained to her brother.

"Shadi has caused more trouble than he is worth in the past, knowledge of the Sennen Items or not, look at what he did to Malik," Rishid was very protective of both of his adoptive siblings.

"He must have had a purpose in doing what he did, Shadi would not have done it without a reason," Rishid wasn't so sure, despite his sister's defense of the man.

"What about your duties here as a Tomb Keeper?"

"I have you and Malik to take care of our duties here, it is an important journey I will be going on and I must accept the task I have been given. Please Rishid, you must understand that what I do is necessary?" Isis hoped that Rishid understood despite his dislike of Shadi.

Rishid sighed and nodded, "I understand, sister. I do not like it, but I understand."

Isis smiled, "thank you, brother."

"Gautier, avez-vous finis votre tâches?" A round, elderly woman asked a boy, who bared a startling resemblance to Shadi.

"Oui Madame Camille, est-ce que je peut aller au Paris avec les autres?" The boy looked hopefully and innocent, the expression looked odd on the face that looked so much like Shadi's.

"D'accord, mais vous devrez rentrer avant huit-heure!" The old woman smiled at the boy's eagerness.

"Oui, Madame Camille!" He ran out of the room with childish enthusiasm.

Isis blinked, her eyes readjusting from her vision.

Rishid looked at his sister, placing a hand on her shoulder to steady her, as she seemed off-balance, "sister? Are you alright?"

Isis took a deep breath, it had been awhile since she had had a vision, and nodded, "I am alright, brother, it was only a vision,"

"What did you see?" Rishid asked.

"Where Shadi and I will be going," Isis had a feeling that didn't leave room for questioning; that the boy she had seen was to be a holder of a Sennen Item, Shadi's Sennen Ankh to be exact.

Rishid nodded, "where is that?"

"Paris."

Hope you all like this new fic! More will be coming soon!
