A/N For those of you who don't know the Japanese names that I'm using:
Isis – Ishizu
Rishid – Odion
Malik – Marik
Jou – Joey
Honda – Tristan
Anzu – Tea

Also, just so everyone is clear on the former holders of the Sennen Items:
Puzzle – Pharaoh
Rod – Priest Seto
Ring – Mahaado (also Thief King)
Tauk – Priestess Ashizu
Ankh – Priest Shada
Scales – Priest Karim
Eye – Priest Akunadin

So basically the unclaimed ones are the Ankh and the Scales which is why Shadi is looking for their holders, and I know Pegasus doesn't have the eye anymore, Shadi decided that the eye has had too many corrupt holders and gave it to Yuugi to make sure that no one uses it for evil again. Also, Shadi tried to give the Rod the Seto (who doesn't want it) and has left Yuugi in charge of convincing Seto to take it.

I know you're all probably wondering who Li-Ming and Gautier are, and why the heck the random French vision was in there, but they are important. Li-Ming has a dream in this chapter that should help to clear up who she is and Gautier will be showing up again later. Also there are more random unknown people in this chapter, who they are will be cleared up soon as well.

Summary: Isis and Shadi leave for France, Malik has fun with alliteration.

"Have you had any visions?" Shadi's first words to Isis after three days were brisk. He needed an answer quickly.

"Hello to you too," sneered Malik glaring at Shadi.

"I have," Isis replied, ignored Malik, "there is a boy in France who is almost identical to you, in my vision he said he was going to Paris, but only for a few hours, I assume this means he lives very near to it."

Shadi nodded, he had been hoping she would have a vision of such nature, "excuse me, I will go make arrangements for our flight to Paris." Shadi disappeared as quickly as he appeared, leaving Malik and Isis.

Malik glared at the spot here Shadi had been and turned to his sister, "I still don't like that man, he is bad news."

"I know you don't trust him Malik, but he has asked for my help and I will give it to him."

Malik sighed at his sister's defense of the man. He simply didn't trust Shadi and didn't like the idea of his sister leaving indefinitely with him, "fine, sister. I will accept your judgment."

It was then that Shadi reentered the room, "I have booked us a place on a flight tonight."

Isis shook her head, "no."

Shaadi and Malik both stared at her.

"Does that mean you've changed your mind and you're not going?" Malik asked quickly, hoping that his sister had.

"No," Isis said again, "we cannot take a flight today," she shook her head as if trying to shake the feeling of unease off of herself, "I'm not sure why, but I just have this feeling… it feels wrong. We can not take a flight anywhere today."

Shadi looked at Isis not entirely sure if this was just some female oddity or if her Tauk was trying to tell her something, "I believe there is also a ship leaving for France today, but that will certainly prolong our journey."

Isis seemed to think this over before nodding, "it may make our journey longer, but I cannot help but feel that a ship would be a better alternative to an airplane."

"I will trust you on this, for you are the holder of the Sennen Tauk, let me make the changes." Shaadi disappeared again leaving Malik to stare wonderingly at his sister.

"Your Tauk is giving your foreboding feelings now? I thought it dealt only in visions of doom and destruction?"

Isis smiled at her brother, "I am not sure where the feeling came from, but it was not something I could simply ignore, not when my Tauk grants me the power to see into the future."

Malik nodded, and hoped that the Tauk was trying to tell his sister something and that she wasn't going crazy or had been spending too much time with Shadi, master of vague foretellings of terror.

"Sir, they will be on flight 383 for Paris, tonight. It leaves at 7:45."

A tall man dressed in all black smiled, "make sure they never get to France, I want those Sennen Items in my hands by tomorrow morning."

"Yes, sir," the other man bowed.

"You may go Nibori, and don't return empty handed."

The man called Nibori left the room, leaving the other man to grin at the thought of how close he was to collecting two of the prized Sennen Items, "soon I will have the powers of both the Ankh and the Scales. I will be invincible!"

Isis stood at the port, staring at the large ship on which she was to travel to France.

"Sister, we will miss you," Rishid gathered his sister up in his arms, "please stay safe."

"And don't listen to anything Shadi says! It only leads to trouble!" Malik hugged his sister as well, glaring at Shadi over her shoulder.

"I will miss you both, my brothers," Isis quickly hugged both Rishid and Malik again before turning to Shadi.

"Are you ready, Isis?" he asked.

"I am ready," Shadi turned leading the way onto the ship, and Isis followed. Thinking that perhaps she was getting into more than she had thought, but she shook that thought off quickly, it was just a search for two item holders. There was nothing dangerous about that.

The white haired man laughed cruelly, "Do you think your power can be me?"

Li-Ming stared as another man, dressed in a white robe spoke with fury, "Listen carefully, thief! The seven Sennen Items are maintaining balance of the world. The only people who can hold them are the Pharaoh, who represents god, and the priests, who have soul training. If a person with an evil heart like you touches them, his soul will be burnt and he will die!"

The white haired thief laughed again, "Don't say that to me! The more you say those things, the more I will desire the items!"

A tall man dressed all in blue spoke, "So! We will destroy you with our power!"

"Don't be frustrated, you can save your lives by submitting your items to me!" The thief smirked at the men assembled around him and dumped his stolen treasure to the ground.

Another man, bald with tattoos on his forehead exclaimed his surprise.

A round, elderly man gasped in surprise, "These… these are…"

"Could these be..." the man in the white robe stared at the treasures.

The thief laughed, "There is another gift that I haven't shown you yet…" He whistled and his horse came running in, dragging a casket with it and the thief stepped up upon it.

The tattooed man frowned, "What's that!?"

The robed man gasped, "It is Pharaoh Akunumkanon's casket!"

The tall man in blue glared at the thief, indignantly, "How dare you touch the body of the former Pharaoh!"

A spikey haired man just stared at the casket in horror.

Another man, robed with jewelry adorning his form cried out in rage, "You!"

The tall priest spoke again, "Your life will be ended here! I call the Seal Stone!"

Two men, who appeared to be soldiers pushed a stone tablet next to the theif, who only laughed, "What are you going to do with that thing?"

The tattooed man glared at the thief, "A thief who has reached this point will take a large hit."

The man who had appeared in Li-Ming's previous dreams called out to the other, "Wait! Be careful Shada!"

The man, whose name was Shada, stopped at turned to the other, "Karim?"

Karim held out a set of scales that were swinging back and forth from left to right, "Look at the Sennen Scales! They are measuring the darkness in the mind of this man!"

The robed man appeared to be in thought for a moment and then added, "Darkness in his heart is very deep, he is full of a tremendous evil!"

Shada pulled out an Ankh, "Sennen Ankh, let me enter the heart of this thief!"

After a moment he pulled back, staggering in shock, "That Ka!"

The robed man put a hand on his shoulder, "What's wrong, Shada?"

"His Ka is too powerful! The seal stone will not hold it!"

"Impossible!" the tall man shouted.

The robed man turned to his fellows, "His Ka! He is releasing it!"

The thief laughed as he released his Ka, it was huge with the upper body of a man, with wings and the lower body of a snake.

Shada stared at it in shock, "what is his Ka?"

"I don't understand. Why does such a powerful Ka exist in a thief!?" the robed man wondered.

The thief laughed his cruel and terrible laugh again, "What's wrong? Are you scared of my Diabound?"

The tall man glared defiantly at the thief, "Don't underestimate the power of the Sennen Items, Thief! I will show you the power of my Sennen Rod! EVIL! SEAL!" The man pointed his rod at the monster called Diabound who was sealed into the stone tablet.

The man grinned, "You have seen it! The power of the Sennen Rod!"

The thief just laughed, "Priests, if the evil is sealed…am I changed into a good man?"

The tall man just stared, "But… the seal stone!"

The seal stone crumbled as Diabound was released and the white haired thief laughed and laughed.

Li-Ming's eyes flew open and she lay in bed, panting for a few moments, adjusting to being in her own bed in her own room. This dream contained the same man she had seen before, but it was a different dream. Different from the one she had had for almost a week. This one didn't contain the woman who was the duel the man… Karim. She knew his name now, but that didn't help her. She still didn't know why she was dreaming about him, or who all the other people in her dreams were. Who was the woman? Who were the other priests in the most recent dream? The thief? Would she ever know the answers?

Yes my retelling of Ancient Egypt flashback/dream thingy was really really bad but I don't have any ressources here with me so I'm going by what I remember and what I can find on the web. So bare with me and if anyone has any corrections for that please let me know.
