Hello! Hello!
Welcome one and all!
^_^
(part of author note writen on 5/6/03)
Well, hopefully, I'll be able to get this chapter up within a decent amount of time. No promises, though...
Ok, well I'm working very hard at the moment... I've just gotten several new ideas for about three of my stories, and am now attempting to write all three of them at the same time... ^_^U Not really working, but oh well.
The first part of this chapter... is interesting. It's actually a dream sequence, so it really doesn't make sense. I've been wanting to write a song fic type a thing into one of my stories, and the first part of this dream is based on the song, "These Dreams," by Heart. ^_^U The lyrics will be in these: [ ]

Ok, some people have been wondering whether Marik/Malik is going to come into the story. The answer: Yes! Probably in this chappie or the next, Marik will make some appearances. Maybe I'll even have a Marik POV! (Not positive though... Might be in either this chappie or next chappie...)
And actually, Marik was already introduced in the story because Daricio was talking to Yami about the Possesed Bandit Keith duel with Yugi... And she referred to him as Marik.
Because of that, I'm keeping his name as Marik, like in the dub, but I dunt really like the name Ishizu, I'd rather have Isis, so she's going to be Isis. And I absouilutely REFUSE to call Rashid Odion, but I'll go ahead and consent and use Osiris's dub name, Slifer... (even though it's stupid too.) Yes, I'm mixing dub names and Japanese names, but who cares?
(Random thought: Speaking of Ishizu, Wouldn't it be funny if Ishizu drove an Isuzu (A type of car)? ^_^ Ishizu in an Isuzu...)
(Another Random Thought: Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemons are trying to do mini- crossovers in the shows... XD... In Yu-Gi-Oh, the little boy who runs into Serenity's Hospital room cuz he's scared, has the SAME voice as Ash! And in Pokemon, Cassidy, one of the Team Rocket people, has the SAME voice as Mai! That'd be a strange fic idea... Crossover Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon in which the people who's voices are identical meet...)

Ok, Honestly, I'm sorry that this chappie took so long to get out... ^_^U
First off, it's been taking me longer to write this than I thought it was going to... I kept running into writers blocks due to writing myself into corners and ending up contridicting myself becuase of that dern Dream Sequence... ^_^U
But I think that's all settled out now...
The other problem is that We've been having a ton of computer problems...
The hard drive on one of my computers totally crashed, causing me to have to start everything on it, my newspaper route money calculations, story chapters, etc. etc. etc., all over again. X_X
Plus, my other computer, (which I have been using while my other one is getting a new hard drive installed) keeps loosing it's Internet access... AIM shuts down unexpectedly, E-mail goes out, I suddenly can't get to Fanfiction.net, or any other website, etc...
And other random things, such as It won't let me do more than 10 things at once or it hangs... Especially when two or three of those things are movie clips or sound clips... ^_^U So THAT keeps making me shut down the coputer w/o saving, thereby making me lose whatever I had just written...
SETO KAIBA!!!!! CAN YOU GET ME A NEW COMPUTER?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!
Seto: -_- No.
Dern... It was worth a try... ^_^U

(6/24/03)
Well, It's happened..... I've been abandoned...
No, just kidding. My parents went on vacation last Saturday, (the 21) to Hawaii, leaving my brothers, sister, and me with my dear lovely Grandma...
Not that I don't LIKE my grandma, she's just simply hard to live with at times... Neat freak, perfectionist, etc. etc. etc.
But you won't hear any complaints from me, nuh uh. (yeah right.) But the point is, from here until... *calculates* about 7/2/03, I won't be updating very fast, as my grandmother disapproves me staying on the computer all the time whilst my "social life dwindles away and you destroy bridges that lead from you to others..." and other such things... *rolls eyes*
I have friends, you just can't see them!!! (they're digital! ^_^U)
But anyway, on a lighter note, *clears throat* I GOT THE NEW HARRY POTTER BOOK I GOT THE NEW HARRY POTTER BOOK I GOT THE NEW HARRY POTTER BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_____________________________________________________________^
It is sooooooooo cool, but they really shouldn't have killed- I mean... *for those of you who do not want story spoilers, look away* THEY KILLED SIRIUS!!!!!! Y O Y O Y O Y O Y?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! *sigh*
^_^U Sorry, I needed to get that out...
It only took me three days to read the whole thing... (woulda taken less, but I was only allowed to read it for an extremely short amount of time Sunday and Monday becuase of.... things...) But I finished it today!
Cool book, though strangely hard to get into... The beginning kind of drags on and on and on and Harry yells at people too much and- *realizes that people are staring at her waiting to read teh chapter and not wanting to hear her go on and on and on about some book she's read*
Oh, sorry. ^_^U

Gee, this is almost like keeping a journal... that everybody can read... ^_^U Sorry. This chappie's going to be kinda short... (if you don't include all these author notes...) sorry....................
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
{Review Responses!}(Almost all responses written on 5/6/03, but the ones nearest the bottom were probably written later...)
Yuki-Mora: Glad you like it so far! ^_^ More to come!
DMG: Not fair! You got out of school before me! At this moment, (it's a Saturday now) I still have four more days of school, (get out on Thursday) and that's not fair! Oh well.... School will be out or me soon enough, and then I will be Freeeeee!!!!! ^_^
Anime26angel: Okies, i'll add more chappies! ^_^
Kate Ryou: I think the anime charas need to see that book. XD I had lots of fun writing about that escape... I wuz going to make it longer, but it made it too drawn out and boring... So, yeah. ^_^ And, I wouldn't really call myself "Queen of Games" because I kinda suck at dueling... I keep losing... But I'm getting better, and I do own some rather rare cards! ^_^ Here's the new chappie you requested!
Bakuracrazie: Yes, Kaiba is always like that... I've been kinda trying to get him to lighten up in my fic, not be quite so.... boring, repetitive, and stupid, and adding in a few of those little comments helped. ^_^ I had fun writing the stepping out scenes as well! ^_^ Yes, Mr. Gice is funny. Jay's not relaly evil, but he's not really good either... He's not going to appear in the story any more. I just wrote him in so that Mr. Gice could run into somebody, and so that he would be able to know that he couldn't go over the fence. ^_^ Yes, the people in my class (In the story anyway) are very evil. I was emphasizing how bad rumrs can be and how they can ruin people's lives... So anywhos... You're welcome for inadvertantly introducing you to HCG's ficcies!
*To everyone: High Crystal Guardian's ficcies are GOOD! You should read them!
The Perpetually Hyper One: Again, Yay! I'm doing something before you for once! (seeing as you're three hours ahead of me... -_- I might as well be a week ahead of you for summer. ) ^_^
There are a lot of people on Yu-Gi-Oh that are fun to poke fun at. You could take any character, really, and poke fun at them...^_^
Put the flamethrower down... *shakes head* You keep chasing the people in my story with pyrotechniques, you're going to tear down my sets! ^_^
Thanks for reassuring me on that preppie thing. ^_^
Devious-Duo: Yes, I finally updated! ^_^ And now I finally updated again! ^_^ FYI, I called it The Dance, becuase that particular game wasn't Dance Dance Revoulution, it was a rendition of it, but I didn't notice when they gave me the real name of it, which was "Super Dancer", so I made one up, and I wasn't feeling creative at that moment. Sorry! ^_^I made that last line all creepy and mysterious on purpose. Glad you're enjoying my story!
*Official note to everyone: I MESSED UP ON THE NAME OF THE GAME TEA WAS PLAYING, I'M SORRY!!!! I called it, "The Dance," for some reason that I do not at this moment know, but it was REALLY a rendition of the game Dance Dance Revolution, which they called, "Super Dancer." Sorry bout this thing, back to the Review Responses:
Serena Bunny: lol. Yes, Serena... Go write chappie... ^_^
Taby: As mentioned above, it following the lines of Yu-Gi-Oh may be a problem, but it's fun nonetheless. Glad you enjoy it!
Tamera Raymond: Thanks for the compliments and the reassuring about the whole preppie thing. I needed that. ^_^ Yes, the Mr. Gice thing was funny. I got the idea because I told DVD that I wuz going to let him out, and that he was going to take everyone but Jay with him, and he got the idea of someone trying to fly out and accidenlty landing on the guard... ^_^ It was fun!
The Insane Otaku AKA Caterfree: Glad you like the ficcie! I dunno what Trigun is... ^_^U
Artemis Sakura: Yup, he's Radley all right. Bakura likes to call him Roo, though. I actually had somebody figure out where I got that name from... It actually comes from the book "To Kill a Mocking Bird." One of the charas is Boo Radley. I changed that to Radley Bakurna, nicknamed Roo. ^_^ and yes, it IS funny, Radley! ^_^
MikeNK: Thanks for adding me to your favorites! It's always good to know I've got fans... ^_^ Raises my self esteem tons...
So, thanks for the encouragement! Read on for more fic! (well, duh... ^_^U)
Ethelflead: *nods understandingly* I know how it is with those evil computers.... I keep telling people, they're trying to take over the world by driving us humans totally insane, but nobody listens to me... So I must keep going, typing on the evil things, warning those I can and hoping that others do not become as addicted as I am to them... ^_^ Me and my friends call them Eggs. You can too if you want. Honestly, it makes you feel better to scream, "STUPID EGG!!!!" or "EVIL EGG!!!" or, if you're mad at all computers in general, (like FF.net) you can scream, "EVIL EGGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Thanks for the reassurance for the preppie thing as well!
Here's the next chappie! Hope you have fun murdering eggs with that axe! ^_^ *evil grin*
Nadeshiko-Nahari: Yes, I am a huge Yu-Gi-Oh fan. ^_^ Glad you like my story! Here's teh next bit of my story, as you requested!
I looked at your story! It's pretty cool... Shiko seems kinda like a self insertion/Mary Sue to me... Fun! Turn yourself into a Mary Sue... ^_^ Very interesting story, in all!
NekoPlushie: *winces under the glare* Sowwy... I never have been very good about getting my stories out quickly... and now with all these stories I'm writing, it's even worse, you know??? *realizes that she's babbling, trying to come up with excuses* Eh heh heh heh... ^_^U Sowwy. Read on for story!
********************************************************************
{Daricio}
Daricio was standing at a tall mirror, gazing into it, smiling. She was dressed in a long white linen dress, something that she didn't do very often, as she usually hated wearing dresses.
She picked up a small handheld candle, then turned away from the mirror and walked swiftly out onto the stone balcony of the mansion, leaning up against the railing. The full moon above shone upon the mist below, illuminating it, making it glow, and almost concealing the garden below her.
["Spare a little candle, save some light for me...." "White skin... in Linen... perfume on my wrist. And the full moon that hangs o'er... these dreams in the mist..."]
She had the faint thought that this was a dream... She didn't have mansions or balconies or candles...
But soon she lost herself in the dream, letting her imagination soar...
Suddenly, she was down below, the wind blowing against her face as she went running along a path towards the garden. She was getting closer, and now she could smell the flowers on the breeze. Ahead of her, a door. A stained glass wall....
But the door wouldn't open, she knew, so she ran through it, into the garden.
["I run without a cut, through a stained glass wall.."]
Once inside, she stopped and looked around. But the garden was gone, replaced by a large feild of grass... The grass bent over, flowing almost like waves of the ocean, but Daricio couldn't feel the wind that tassled it's edges...
She began walking, wandering around the feild. Around the edges of her vision, she could see darkness advancing... It must be getting close to night...
The darkness began to seep into the landscape, transforming it slowly until... Suddenly, there were shadows.. Shadows of all kinds everywhere! Purple and blue. Grey, and the deepest black. One big mix. A single color of shadow. A whole new place.
The last time Daricio had seen this place was in Yugi's soul room. The Shadow Realm... Now she was running... Time suddenly had no meaning...
What time was it anyway? She looked at her watch. "What? What happened to my watch?"
It suddenly had no hands... there was no way to tell what time it was...
But whatever. Running. Running. She was chasing something, but she didn't know what it was. Running.
To her right, she saw someone. One lone figure, standing off in the distance...
But that darn mist was back again. Swirling around her, clouding the Shadow Realm...
She couldn't see who was there... She could, but she couldn't. She knew they were there, but couldn't tell who it was... Couldn't even tell if it was a boy or a girl... Just a person... Standing there...
"Hey!" she called, stopping. "Who are you? Can you come closer?"
The person didn't respond, simply stepped backwards, fading into the mist... Daricio sighed in temporary frustration. But soon, the person was forgotten, and she was running again...
["Darkness on the edges, shadows where I stand... I search for the time on a watch with no hands... I want to see you clearly. Come closer than this... but all I remember... are Dreams in the mist....]
She ran and ran and ran....
Suddenly, she stopped, peering into the distance. There was another person, ahead. Looking harder, she saw that there were several of them... A forest... The people turned and began to run. The mist began to clear.
[...Figures up ahead moving in the trees...]
"Wait!" Daricio cried, running after them.
About two seconds later, she almost caught up to one, the mist cleared completely...
And Daricio sighed as she realized that she was, just as Yugi had, chasing Dark Magicians.
***********************************************************************
{Yugi}
Yugi looked around his room, flashes of his dream still jumping into his mind now and then...
It had been another of those strange Dark Magician chasing dreams... Which was odd, becuase they had just started to stop occuring. Yugi had assumed that this was becuase they had solved their mystery about Daricio, but now they were back...
When he had first started having the dreams, he had doubted when Yami kept telling him it meant something, becuase nothing had happened. But now with what had been happening with Daricio appearing and the things that Isis, back at the museum, had told them, he believed it.
He sat up in bed, thinking. What could it mean this time? Usually, it meant he was searching for some answer, the answer to a question. Sure, he was trying to figure out questions about Yami's past, but the dreams usually indicated that the answer to one question about HIM that would be found... Or something like that.
And with Kaiba's new Battle city thing that he was starting, it was important to know what any dreams he was having meant... It could definitelly end up solving some problems...
He'd go talk to Yami about it...
He got up from his soul room bed, walking over to the door leading to the hallway between his and Yami's rooms, glancing at Daricio's on his way, then he opened the door.
And almost collided with Yami, who was just going the other way, into his soul room.
"Woah! Sorry Yami." Yugi said, backing up.
Yami smiled. "That's ok. Just wondering, but did you just have a-"
Daricio's soul room door opened. "Hey, guys? I just had a really strange dream...."
Everybody looked at each other. "Dark Magician chasing dream?" Yugi asked.
Yami and Daricio both nodded. Yugi sighed. "This is strange... me too..."
Yami frowned, then went over and sat down on Yugi's bed. "This has got to have something to do with what Isis told us last night..." he said.
Daricio nodded. "But what could it mean?"
"It could simply mean that we're all searching for answers... I'm searching for the answers to questions about my past, Yugi's helping me, I suppose you are too..." Yami suggested.
Daricio thought about this. "Yeah, I've also been noticing somebody in my soul room lately, and I've been trying to find out about that..."
"So it basically means that we're going to find these answers? Or does it simply mean we're searching for them?" Yugi asked.
Yami shrugged. "It could mean both..."
Daricio yawned. "What time is it?"
Yugi looked. "Woah. It's midnight...."
"If I'm tired, I'm betting that Yami's even more tired. I have no clue how he was able to do anything today, he was only running on about 3 hours of sleep..." Daricio commented.
Yami nodded slightly, but it was obvious he wasn't really paying attention; he was still thinking about the dreams.
Yugi smiled. "Let's go back to sleep. We'll figure this out in the morning..."
"Right"
****************************************************************************
{Much later: Daricio}
The next week passed by rather quickly, although Daricio wasn't sure if that was good or bad. It was now a Monday, and Seto Kaiba had apparently bribed the school board into closing school for the following week...
(Unfortunatally, he had absolutely no influence over Daricio's school, and probably didn't even care even if he did have any influence, and so therefore, Daricio still had to go to school.)
She really wanted the Tournament to start so that they could start getting some answers, but she also wanted to have more time to prepare for it...
Yugi, Yami, and Daricio had all worked together on a deck that he could use for the tournament, and it had gotten.... interesting... it had taken a while for them to agree on which cards should be in it!
They had finally gotten the deck ready the day before, and Yugi was going to spend the next few days dueling with Joey, with the new systems, to make sure they both stayed in top form.
That was especially important now that the tournament was going to be starting in two days!
Registration had been on Saturday, two days prior... and Joey had only slightly made a fool out of himself... Something that was completely natural, of course.
There they had each gotten a box with Kaiba's new duel disk systems and a strange glass... thing...
Tristen had helped Joey unpack his system and had found the thing... He had almost thrown it away thinking it was a part of the packaging... But Joey had stopped him, pointing with an "Are-you-completely stupid-or-is-it-just- me?" look on his face towards a little card that read, "Do not throw this away, it's important."
The dreams kept coming, for all of them... The only one of the three that had the dreams less than the other two was Yugi...
Daricio had also been sensing that other presence in her soul room quite often as well...
At one point, she had walked by a mirror only to notice that her hair had shifted slightly... Slightly lighter and sticking upward a little more than usual... Then, again before she could check out her soul room, she felt the presense leave and her hair returned to normal...
Whoever it was, they were getting a whole lot more confident... Staying slightly longer than before, and trying to do more things in there...
She had started putting up mental "traps" in her soul room similar to the ones Yami had in his, though not quite so dangerous, but the only people they seemed to be catching were her and Yugi...
On yet another note, still nobody had been able to find Bakura... He hadn't been going to school that past week, and nobody could find him after school. He seemed to be avoiding everyone...
It was now almost noon, and Yugi had said that he'd meet Joey in the park at around that time. He was now at the park, but he was waiting for Joey.
Daricio had tried to start up the "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves," song to pass the time, but nobody was really in the mood to deal with her...
Daricio sighed. She knew that Yami and Yugi were awaiting the tournament, but they didn't have to be all... boring about it...
The two of them had gotten extremely serious lately. Sure, they were all going to be saving the world and all, but it wasn't really necessary to be so grim about it... Yugi and Yami were the best duelists she knew! There was no way anyone'd be able to beat them!
And having her around to give hints from the shows didn't hurt either!
Although, all that last week, even though they had said that they were going to be showing new eppies every day, the only new episode had been one that they cal called, "Stepping out," that briefly showed some of the things that Yami and Tea had done on their little "date."
More importantly, it also showed them all that Kaiba had also been shown the tablets, and had been shown the past through that necklace that Isis had...
Of course, for some reason the show called her Ishizu... It was quite strange really... Hard to figure how they got Ishizu from Isis, but whatever...
Yugi got up from the bench that he was sitting at and began to pace, but still watching his Duel Disk system, which was still in it's box, and getting slightly impatient that Joey hadn't shown up yet...
(Everyone had developed a habit of keeping their duel disk systems in their boxes and carrying the boxes around so that the systems would be in top form for the tournament.)
Daricio sighed again. "I still don't think it's fair that Isis showed Kaiba the past, but not you! Who's side is she on, anyway???"
"Ours, or she wouldn't have told us anything at all." Yami pointed out.
"Then why is she leading us around in circles, and yet showing Kaiba tons of stuff?"
"If you'll remember, Kaiba has never believed any of this magic stuff, even when he got trapped in the Shadow Realm." Yugi pointed out, still pacing. "So she'd have to show him more things than she would show us, or he wouldn't accept it."
Daricio nodded, understanding. "Yes, but it's still confusing. Why would Isis want Kaiba to start a tournament? And why would she give him a god card, but not you, Yami?"
Yami shrugged. "She must have her reasons..."
"It was probably a vision of the future that she had; Kaiba using Obelisk in a tournament, but the pharaoh still able to defeat him, or... I don't know... Maybe Kaiba's NOT the main reason for her starting this tournament after all." Yugi said, shrugging.
"Then what would be?" Daricio asked.
"I don't know!" Yugi sighed.
Yami watched his Hikari as he paced back and forth, obviously frustrated.
Daricio was grateful for a break in the tension when Yugi suddenly stopped and announced, with some relief, that Joey had finally showed up.
The two of them began her duel and, even though she normally enjoyed dueling, she was at the moment glad that she could simply watch this one. She had too much on her mind to be really concentrating on a duel.
The duel lasted quite a while, probably a few hours, but Daricio wasn't really paying attention to it, so she didn't even notice when it was over.
Tea and Tristen had apparently showed up while she was spacing out, and it was dark outside...
//Who won?// she asked Yugi when she finally noticed he wasn't dueling anymore.
He grinned. //Me, but just barely. Joey's getting really good, I bet he's going to do great in this tournament!//
Daricio nodded. //Good.//
"I'm going to be going over to the hospital. Serenity's having her operation tomorrow morning, and I promised her I'd be there." Joey said, breaking into their conversation.
"Wish her luck for me." Tristen said, his face turning slightly red. "I'd be willing to go and help you guys out with anything you need, all right?"
Joey nodded. "Sure, thanks Tristen. You're a real pal. Here's something you could do! Carry all this ta my house, would ya buddy?" He began dumping random stuff out of his pockets and into Tristen's hands.
Tristen frowned. "I meant, with Serenity, not with your trash." he said, lookind disgustedly at the extremely large pile of candy wrappers, bits of metal, and other random junk that had suddenly collected in his hands.
Joey grinned. "I know that." he said, taking his stuff back and stuffing it back into his pockets. "And it's not ALL trash."
The look on Tristen's face said that he didn't believe him. Joey turned away towards a side street and began heading off towards the hospital.
"See ya guys later!" he called over his shoulder. He disappeared into the alleyway.
Tristan stared after him, wiping candy-wrapper-grime off of his hands onto his shirt.
"Gee, Tristen. Since when have you been wanting to help Joey out with stuff?" Tea asked, smirking.
"He just wants to impress Joey's sister, Serenity." Yugi said, grinning.
Tristen's face turned a very dark shade of red, and he turned away, muttering something. Tea and Yugi laughed, and for the first time since meeting Isis, Yami smiled as well.
They all walked home. Tomorrow was going to be another day of training, and they needed to get some sleep...
**************************************************************************** **
{The next morning: Mrs. Wheeler???} (this is new...)
"Hello?" the boy on the other line said, sounding sleepy. And for good reason, too, it was extremelly early... School hadn't even started yet... Or, it wouldn't have even started if Kaiba hadn't closed school temporarily...
"H-h-hello." I said haltingly. I swallowed. //All right... Let's get this under control... Stay calm...// I took a deep breath.
"This is Samantha... erm, I mean Mrs. Wheeler... Joey's mom." I finished my sentance.
//Oh yeah, that was calm.//
"Mrs. Wheeler?" the boy, obviously Joey's friend, Yugi, said. "What's up?"
"Well, you see... I'm at the Hospital with Serenity right now... and... Is Joseph over there???" I burst out finally. "He never showed last night, and Serenity is-"
"What? Joey never showed up at the hospital last night?"
I blinked. "That's what I said, isn't it? Is he over there, do you know where he is? Serenity is going into hysterics over here..."
"I don't know, but I'll call everyone over. We'll find him, Mrs. Wheeler." Yugi said with determination.
I sighed in relief. "Would you do that? Thanks so much."
"No problem. See ya when we find him." he said.
"Then I hope to see you soon. Bye."
"See ya!"
I hung up the phone and turned to Serenity, who was sitting on her hospital bed looking up at me.
"Did Yugi say he was going to help?"
I nodded. "He's going to get all Joseph's friends together and search for him."
Serenity looked away, curling up into a ball and looking at the wall.
(A/N: Wow.... that rhymes.... *blink*)
I sighed and got up. "Would you like me to leave for now?"
Serenity nodded slowly. I went over to the door and opened it, walking out into the hall. "I hope they can find him..." she muttered to herself. I nodded, then closed the door.
*******************************************************************
That's IT!!!!!!!!!! I'm posting this and I don't CARE if it's short and stupid! It's taking forever to get this done, what with computer errors and writers block and writing other stories, and frankly, I jsut need to get this out and simply work on one of my other stories for a while or I'm going to explode!!!!!!!!
Malik: *walking in* You need to take a chill pill.
Daricio: *sigh* I know, I know. And by the way, in case you're wondering, Malik's my muse. He's allowed to be here.
Malik: Unwilling muse.
Daricio: Right. But anyway, here was your chapter, peoples. Sorry it's not better. Be glad I updated.
Malik: O.o Yup, sheeeeee's mad...
Daricio: Hey, it's not my fault.
Malik: why?
Daricio: Because it's not. Now be quiet, I need to update.
Malik: Why?
Daricio: Becasue if i don't, then the reviewers are going to kill me and I'll get that stinky thing stuck back in my soul room...
Malik: Why?
Daricio: Quit it, or I won't let you listen to the "Yu-Gi-Oh Music to Duel By" CD I just recently finally got.
Malik: -_- Shutting up.
Daricio: Alright, hope you liked the chappie. It will, hopefully, be better next time. X_X And no, I'm not gunna do any more 1st person thingies... The one I did was random and I don't even know why I did it. I just felt like it.
Malik: *rolls eyes*
Daricio: Well, must go. Byez...

Welcome one and all!

Well, hopefully, I'll be able to get this chapter up within a decent amount of time. No promises, though...
Ok, well I'm working very hard at the moment... I've just gotten several new ideas for about three of my stories, and am now attempting to write all three of them at the same time... ^_^U Not really working, but oh well.
The first part of this chapter... is interesting. It's actually a dream sequence, so it really doesn't make sense.

Yes, I'm mixing dub names and Japanese names, but who cares?
(Random thought: Speaking of Ishizu, Wouldn't it be funny if Ishizu drove an Isuzu (A type of car)? ^_^ Ishizu in an Isuzu...)
(Another Random Thought: Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemons are trying to do mini- crossovers in the shows... XD... In Yu-Gi-Oh, the little boy who runs into Serenity's Hospital room cuz he's scared, has the SAME voice as Ash! And in Pokemon, Cassidy, one of the Team Rocket people, has the SAME voice as Mai!

Ok, Honestly, I'm sorry that this chappie took so long to get out... ^_^U
First off, it's been taking me longer to write this than I thought it was going to... I kept running into writers blocks due to writing myself into corners and ending up contridicting myself becuase of that dern Dream Sequence... ^_^U
But I think that's all settled out now...
The other problem is that We've been having a ton of computer problems...
The hard drive on one of my computers totally crashed, causing me to have to start everything on it, my newspaper route money calculations, story chapters, etc. etc. etc., all over again. X_X
Plus, my other computer, (which I have been using while my other one is getting a new hard drive installed) keeps loosing it's Internet access... AIM shuts down unexpectedly, E-mail goes out, I suddenly can't get to Fanfiction.net, or any other website, etc...
And other random things, such as It won't let me do more than 10 things at once or it hangs... Especially when two or three of those things are movie clips or sound clips... ^_^U So THAT keeps making me shut down the coputer w/o saving, thereby making me lose whatever I had just written...
SETO KAIBA!!!!! CAN YOU GET ME A NEW COMPUTER?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!
Seto: -_- No.
Dern... It was worth a try... ^_^U

Well, It's happened..... I've been abandoned...
No, just kidding. My parents went on vacation last Saturday, (the 21) to Hawaii, leaving my brothers, sister, and me with my dear lovely Grandma...
Not that I don't LIKE my grandma, she's just simply hard to live with at times... Neat freak, perfectionist, etc. etc. etc.
But you won't hear any complaints from me, nuh uh. (yeah right.) But the point is, from here until... *calculates* about 7/2/03, I won't be updating very fast, as my grandmother disapproves me staying on the computer all the time whilst my "social life dwindles away and you destroy bridges that lead from you to others..." and other such things... *rolls eyes*
I have friends, you just can't see them!!! (they're digital! ^_^U)
But anyway, on a lighter note, *clears throat* I GOT THE NEW HARRY POTTER BOOK I GOT THE NEW HARRY POTTER BOOK I GOT THE NEW HARRY POTTER BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_____________________________________________________________^
It is sooooooooo cool, but they really shouldn't have killed- I mean... *for those of you who do not want story spoilers, look away* THEY KILLED SIRIUS!!!!!! Y O Y O Y O Y O Y?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! *sigh*
^_^U Sorry, I needed to get that out...
It only took me three days to read the whole thing... (woulda taken less, but I was only allowed to read it for an extremely short amount of time Sunday and Monday becuase of.... things...) But I finished it today!
Cool book, though strangely hard to get into... The beginning kind of drags on and on and on and Harry yells at people too much and- *realizes that people are staring at her waiting to read teh chapter and not wanting to hear her go on and on and on about some book she's read*
Oh, sorry. ^_^U

Gee, this is almost like keeping a journal... that everybody can read... ^_^U Sorry. This chappie's going to be kinda short... (if you don't include all these author notes...) sorry....................
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
{Review Responses!}(Almost all responses written on 5/6/03, but the ones nearest the bottom were probably written later...)
Yuki-Mora: Glad you like it so far! ^_^ More to come!
DMG: Not fair! You got out of school before me! At this moment, (it's a Saturday now) I still have four more days of school, (get out on Thursday) and that's not fair! Oh well.... School will be out or me soon enough, and then I will be Freeeeee!!!!! ^_^
Anime26angel: Okies, i'll add more chappies! ^_^
Kate Ryou: I think the anime charas need to see that book. XD I had lots of fun writing about that escape... I wuz going to make it longer, but it made it too drawn out and boring... So, yeah. ^_^ And, I wouldn't really call myself "Queen of Games" because I kinda suck at dueling... I keep losing... But I'm getting better, and I do own some rather rare cards! ^_^ Here's the new chappie you requested!
Bakuracrazie: Yes, Kaiba is always like that... I've been kinda trying to get him to lighten up in my fic, not be quite so.... boring, repetitive, and stupid, and adding in a few of those little comments helped. ^_^ I had fun writing the stepping out scenes as well! ^_^ Yes, Mr. Gice is funny. Jay's not relaly evil, but he's not really good either... He's not going to appear in the story any more. I just wrote him in so that Mr. Gice could run into somebody, and so that he would be able to know that he couldn't go over the fence. ^_^ Yes, the people in my class (In the story anyway) are very evil. I was emphasizing how bad rumrs can be and how they can ruin people's lives... So anywhos... You're welcome for inadvertantly introducing you to HCG's ficcies!
*To everyone: High Crystal Guardian's ficcies are GOOD! You should read them!
The Perpetually Hyper One: Again, Yay! I'm doing something before you for once! (seeing as you're three hours ahead of me... -_- I might as well be a week ahead of you for summer. ) ^_^
There are a lot of people on Yu-Gi-Oh that are fun to poke fun at. You could take any character, really, and poke fun at them...^_^
Put the flamethrower down... *shakes head* You keep chasing the people in my story with pyrotechniques, you're going to tear down my sets! ^_^
Thanks for reassuring me on that preppie thing. ^_^
Devious-Duo: Yes, I finally updated! ^_^ And now I finally updated again! ^_^ FYI, I called it The Dance, becuase that particular game wasn't Dance Dance Revoulution, it was a rendition of it, but I didn't notice when they gave me the real name of it, which was "Super Dancer", so I made one up, and I wasn't feeling creative at that moment. Sorry! ^_^I made that last line all creepy and mysterious on purpose. Glad you're enjoying my story!
*Official note to everyone: I MESSED UP ON THE NAME OF THE GAME TEA WAS PLAYING, I'M SORRY!!!! I called it, "The Dance," for some reason that I do not at this moment know, but it was REALLY a rendition of the game Dance Dance Revolution, which they called, "Super Dancer." Sorry bout this thing, back to the Review Responses:
Serena Bunny: lol. Yes, Serena... Go write chappie... ^_^
Taby: As mentioned above, it following the lines of Yu-Gi-Oh may be a problem, but it's fun nonetheless. Glad you enjoy it!
Tamera Raymond: Thanks for the compliments and the reassuring about the whole preppie thing. I needed that. ^_^ Yes, the Mr. Gice thing was funny. I got the idea because I told DVD that I wuz going to let him out, and that he was going to take everyone but Jay with him, and he got the idea of someone trying to fly out and accidenlty landing on the guard... ^_^ It was fun!
The Insane Otaku AKA Caterfree: Glad you like the ficcie! I dunno what Trigun is... ^_^U
Artemis Sakura: Yup, he's Radley all right. Bakura likes to call him Roo, though. I actually had somebody figure out where I got that name from... It actually comes from the book "To Kill a Mocking Bird." One of the charas is Boo Radley. I changed that to Radley Bakurna, nicknamed Roo. ^_^ and yes, it IS funny, Radley! ^_^
MikeNK: Thanks for adding me to your favorites! It's always good to know I've got fans... ^_^ Raises my self esteem tons...
So, thanks for the encouragement! Read on for more fic! (well, duh... ^_^U)
Ethelflead: *nods understandingly* I know how it is with those evil computers.... I keep telling people, they're trying to take over the world by driving us humans totally insane, but nobody listens to me... So I must keep going, typing on the evil things, warning those I can and hoping that others do not become as addicted as I am to them... ^_^ Me and my friends call them Eggs. You can too if you want. Honestly, it makes you feel better to scream, "STUPID EGG!!!!" or "EVIL EGG!!!" or, if you're mad at all computers in general, (like FF.net) you can scream, "EVIL EGGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Thanks for the reassurance for the preppie thing as well!
Here's the next chappie! Hope you have fun murdering eggs with that axe! ^_^ *evil grin*
Nadeshiko-Nahari: Yes, I am a huge Yu-Gi-Oh fan. ^_^ Glad you like my story! Here's teh next bit of my story, as you requested!
I looked at your story! It's pretty cool... Shiko seems kinda like a self insertion/Mary Sue to me... Fun! Turn yourself into a Mary Sue... ^_^ Very interesting story, in all!
NekoPlushie: *winces under the glare* Sowwy... I never have been very good about getting my stories out quickly... and now with all these stories I'm writing, it's even worse, you know??? *realizes that she's babbling, trying to come up with excuses* Eh heh heh heh... ^_^U Sowwy. Read on for story!
********************************************************************
{Daricio}
Daricio was standing at a tall mirror, gazing into it, smiling. She was dressed in a long white linen dress, something that she didn't do very often, as she usually hated wearing dresses.
She picked up a small handheld candle, then turned away from the mirror and walked swiftly out onto the stone balcony of the mansion, leaning up against the railing. The full moon above shone upon the mist below, illuminating it, making it glow, and almost concealing the garden below her.
["Spare a little candle, save some light for me...." "White skin... in Linen... perfume on my wrist. And the full moon that hangs o'er... these dreams in the mist..."]
She had the faint thought that this was a dream... She didn't have mansions or balconies or candles...
But soon she lost herself in the dream, letting her imagination soar...
Suddenly, she was down below, the wind blowing against her face as she went running along a path towards the garden. She was getting closer, and now she could smell the flowers on the breeze. Ahead of her, a door. A stained glass wall....
But the door wouldn't open, she knew, so she ran through it, into the garden.
["I run without a cut, through a stained glass wall.."]
Once inside, she stopped and looked around. But the garden was gone, replaced by a large feild of grass... The grass bent over, flowing almost like waves of the ocean, but Daricio couldn't feel the wind that tassled it's edges...
She began walking, wandering around the feild. Around the edges of her vision, she could see darkness advancing... It must be getting close to night...
The darkness began to seep into the landscape, transforming it slowly until... Suddenly, there were shadows.. Shadows of all kinds everywhere! Purple and blue. Grey, and the deepest black. One big mix. A single color of shadow. A whole new place.
The last time Daricio had seen this place was in Yugi's soul room. The Shadow Realm... Now she was running... Time suddenly had no meaning...
What time was it anyway? She looked at her watch. "What? What happened to my watch?"
It suddenly had no hands... there was no way to tell what time it was...
But whatever. Running. Running. She was chasing something, but she didn't know what it was. Running.
To her right, she saw someone. One lone figure, standing off in the distance...
But that darn mist was back again. Swirling around her, clouding the Shadow Realm...
She couldn't see who was there... She could, but she couldn't. She knew they were there, but couldn't tell who it was... Couldn't even tell if it was a boy or a girl... Just a person... Standing there...
"Hey!" she called, stopping. "Who are you? Can you come closer?"
The person didn't respond, simply stepped backwards, fading into the mist... Daricio sighed in temporary frustration. But soon, the person was forgotten, and she was running again...
["Darkness on the edges, shadows where I stand... I search for the time on a watch with no hands... I want to see you clearly. Come closer than this... but all I remember... are Dreams in the mist....]
She ran and ran and ran....
Suddenly, she stopped, peering into the distance. There was another person, ahead. Looking harder, she saw that there were several of them... A forest... The people turned and began to run. The mist began to clear.
[...Figures up ahead moving in the trees...]
"Wait!" Daricio cried, running after them.
About two seconds later, she almost caught up to one, the mist cleared completely...
And Daricio sighed as she realized that she was, just as Yugi had, chasing Dark Magicians.
***********************************************************************
{Yugi}
Yugi looked around his room, flashes of his dream still jumping into his mind now and then...
It had been another of those strange Dark Magician chasing dreams... Which was odd, becuase they had just started to stop occuring. Yugi had assumed that this was becuase they had solved their mystery about Daricio, but now they were back...
When he had first started having the dreams, he had doubted when Yami kept telling him it meant something, becuase nothing had happened. But now with what had been happening with Daricio appearing and the things that Isis, back at the museum, had told them, he believed it.
He sat up in bed, thinking. What could it mean this time? Usually, it meant he was searching for some answer, the answer to a question. Sure, he was trying to figure out questions about Yami's past, but the dreams usually indicated that the answer to one question about HIM that would be found... Or something like that.
And with Kaiba's new Battle city thing that he was starting, it was important to know what any dreams he was having meant... It could definitelly end up solving some problems...
He'd go talk to Yami about it...
He got up from his soul room bed, walking over to the door leading to the hallway between his and Yami's rooms, glancing at Daricio's on his way, then he opened the door.
And almost collided with Yami, who was just going the other way, into his soul room.
"Woah! Sorry Yami." Yugi said, backing up.
Yami smiled. "That's ok. Just wondering, but did you just have a-"
Daricio's soul room door opened. "Hey, guys? I just had a really strange dream...."
Everybody looked at each other. "Dark Magician chasing dream?" Yugi asked.
Yami and Daricio both nodded. Yugi sighed. "This is strange... me too..."
Yami frowned, then went over and sat down on Yugi's bed. "This has got to have something to do with what Isis told us last night..." he said.
Daricio nodded. "But what could it mean?"
"It could simply mean that we're all searching for answers... I'm searching for the answers to questions about my past, Yugi's helping me, I suppose you are too..." Yami suggested.
Daricio thought about this. "Yeah, I've also been noticing somebody in my soul room lately, and I've been trying to find out about that..."
"So it basically means that we're going to find these answers? Or does it simply mean we're searching for them?" Yugi asked.
Yami shrugged. "It could mean both..."
Daricio yawned. "What time is it?"
Yugi looked. "Woah. It's midnight...."
"If I'm tired, I'm betting that Yami's even more tired. I have no clue how he was able to do anything today, he was only running on about 3 hours of sleep..." Daricio commented.
Yami nodded slightly, but it was obvious he wasn't really paying attention; he was still thinking about the dreams.
Yugi smiled. "Let's go back to sleep. We'll figure this out in the morning..."
"Right"
****************************************************************************
{Much later: Daricio}
The next week passed by rather quickly, although Daricio wasn't sure if that was good or bad. It was now a Monday, and Seto Kaiba had apparently bribed the school board into closing school for the following week...
(Unfortunatally, he had absolutely no influence over Daricio's school, and probably didn't even care even if he did have any influence, and so therefore, Daricio still had to go to school.)
She really wanted the Tournament to start so that they could start getting some answers, but she also wanted to have more time to prepare for it...
Yugi, Yami, and Daricio had all worked together on a deck that he could use for the tournament, and it had gotten.... interesting... it had taken a while for them to agree on which cards should be in it!
They had finally gotten the deck ready the day before, and Yugi was going to spend the next few days dueling with Joey, with the new systems, to make sure they both stayed in top form.
That was especially important now that the tournament was going to be starting in two days!
Registration had been on Saturday, two days prior... and Joey had only slightly made a fool out of himself... Something that was completely natural, of course.
There they had each gotten a box with Kaiba's new duel disk systems and a strange glass... thing...
Tristen had helped Joey unpack his system and had found the thing... He had almost thrown it away thinking it was a part of the packaging... But Joey had stopped him, pointing with an "Are-you-completely stupid-or-is-it-just- me?" look on his face towards a little card that read, "Do not throw this away, it's important."
The dreams kept coming, for all of them... The only one of the three that had the dreams less than the other two was Yugi...
Daricio had also been sensing that other presence in her soul room quite often as well...
At one point, she had walked by a mirror only to notice that her hair had shifted slightly... Slightly lighter and sticking upward a little more than usual... Then, again before she could check out her soul room, she felt the presense leave and her hair returned to normal...
Whoever it was, they were getting a whole lot more confident... Staying slightly longer than before, and trying to do more things in there...
She had started putting up mental "traps" in her soul room similar to the ones Yami had in his, though not quite so dangerous, but the only people they seemed to be catching were her and Yugi...
On yet another note, still nobody had been able to find Bakura... He hadn't been going to school that past week, and nobody could find him after school. He seemed to be avoiding everyone...
It was now almost noon, and Yugi had said that he'd meet Joey in the park at around that time. He was now at the park, but he was waiting for Joey.
Daricio had tried to start up the "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves," song to pass the time, but nobody was really in the mood to deal with her...
Daricio sighed. She knew that Yami and Yugi were awaiting the tournament, but they didn't have to be all... boring about it...
The two of them had gotten extremely serious lately. Sure, they were all going to be saving the world and all, but it wasn't really necessary to be so grim about it... Yugi and Yami were the best duelists she knew! There was no way anyone'd be able to beat them!
And having her around to give hints from the shows didn't hurt either!
Although, all that last week, even though they had said that they were going to be showing new eppies every day, the only new episode had been one that they cal called, "Stepping out," that briefly showed some of the things that Yami and Tea had done on their little "date."
More importantly, it also showed them all that Kaiba had also been shown the tablets, and had been shown the past through that necklace that Isis had...
Of course, for some reason the show called her Ishizu... It was quite strange really... Hard to figure how they got Ishizu from Isis, but whatever...
Yugi got up from the bench that he was sitting at and began to pace, but still watching his Duel Disk system, which was still in it's box, and getting slightly impatient that Joey hadn't shown up yet...
(Everyone had developed a habit of keeping their duel disk systems in their boxes and carrying the boxes around so that the systems would be in top form for the tournament.)
Daricio sighed again. "I still don't think it's fair that Isis showed Kaiba the past, but not you! Who's side is she on, anyway???"
"Ours, or she wouldn't have told us anything at all." Yami pointed out.
"Then why is she leading us around in circles, and yet showing Kaiba tons of stuff?"
"If you'll remember, Kaiba has never believed any of this magic stuff, even when he got trapped in the Shadow Realm." Yugi pointed out, still pacing. "So she'd have to show him more things than she would show us, or he wouldn't accept it."
Daricio nodded, understanding. "Yes, but it's still confusing. Why would Isis want Kaiba to start a tournament? And why would she give him a god card, but not you, Yami?"
Yami shrugged. "She must have her reasons..."
"It was probably a vision of the future that she had; Kaiba using Obelisk in a tournament, but the pharaoh still able to defeat him, or... I don't know... Maybe Kaiba's NOT the main reason for her starting this tournament after all." Yugi said, shrugging.
"Then what would be?" Daricio asked.
"I don't know!" Yugi sighed.
Yami watched his Hikari as he paced back and forth, obviously frustrated.
Daricio was grateful for a break in the tension when Yugi suddenly stopped and announced, with some relief, that Joey had finally showed up.
The two of them began her duel and, even though she normally enjoyed dueling, she was at the moment glad that she could simply watch this one. She had too much on her mind to be really concentrating on a duel.
The duel lasted quite a while, probably a few hours, but Daricio wasn't really paying attention to it, so she didn't even notice when it was over.
Tea and Tristen had apparently showed up while she was spacing out, and it was dark outside...
//Who won?// she asked Yugi when she finally noticed he wasn't dueling anymore.
He grinned. //Me, but just barely. Joey's getting really good, I bet he's going to do great in this tournament!//
Daricio nodded. //Good.//
"I'm going to be going over to the hospital. Serenity's having her operation tomorrow morning, and I promised her I'd be there." Joey said, breaking into their conversation.
"Wish her luck for me." Tristen said, his face turning slightly red. "I'd be willing to go and help you guys out with anything you need, all right?"
Joey nodded. "Sure, thanks Tristen. You're a real pal. Here's something you could do! Carry all this ta my house, would ya buddy?" He began dumping random stuff out of his pockets and into Tristen's hands.
Tristen frowned. "I meant, with Serenity, not with your trash." he said, lookind disgustedly at the extremely large pile of candy wrappers, bits of metal, and other random junk that had suddenly collected in his hands.
Joey grinned. "I know that." he said, taking his stuff back and stuffing it back into his pockets. "And it's not ALL trash."
The look on Tristen's face said that he didn't believe him. Joey turned away towards a side street and began heading off towards the hospital.
"See ya guys later!" he called over his shoulder. He disappeared into the alleyway.
Tristan stared after him, wiping candy-wrapper-grime off of his hands onto his shirt.
"Gee, Tristen. Since when have you been wanting to help Joey out with stuff?" Tea asked, smirking.
"He just wants to impress Joey's sister, Serenity." Yugi said, grinning.
Tristen's face turned a very dark shade of red, and he turned away, muttering something. Tea and Yugi laughed, and for the first time since meeting Isis, Yami smiled as well.
They all walked home. Tomorrow was going to be another day of training, and they needed to get some sleep...
**************************************************************************** **
{The next morning: Mrs. Wheeler???} (this is new...)
"Hello?" the boy on the other line said, sounding sleepy. And for good reason, too, it was extremelly early... School hadn't even started yet... Or, it wouldn't have even started if Kaiba hadn't closed school temporarily...
"H-h-hello." I said haltingly. I swallowed. //All right... Let's get this under control... Stay calm...// I took a deep breath.
"This is Samantha... erm, I mean Mrs. Wheeler... Joey's mom." I finished my sentance.
//Oh yeah, that was calm.//
"Mrs. Wheeler?" the boy, obviously Joey's friend, Yugi, said. "What's up?"
"Well, you see... I'm at the Hospital with Serenity right now... and... Is Joseph over there???" I burst out finally. "He never showed last night, and Serenity is-"
"What? Joey never showed up at the hospital last night?"
I blinked. "That's what I said, isn't it? Is he over there, do you know where he is? Serenity is going into hysterics over here..."
"I don't know, but I'll call everyone over. We'll find him, Mrs. Wheeler." Yugi said with determination.
I sighed in relief. "Would you do that? Thanks so much."
"No problem. See ya when we find him." he said.
"Then I hope to see you soon. Bye."
"See ya!"
I hung up the phone and turned to Serenity, who was sitting on her hospital bed looking up at me.
"Did Yugi say he was going to help?"
I nodded. "He's going to get all Joseph's friends together and search for him."
Serenity looked away, curling up into a ball and looking at the wall.
(A/N: Wow.... that rhymes.... *blink*)
I sighed and got up. "Would you like me to leave for now?"
Serenity nodded slowly. I went over to the door and opened it, walking out into the hall. "I hope they can find him..." she muttered to herself. I nodded, then closed the door.

That's IT!!!!!!!!!! I'm posting this and I don't CARE if it's short and stupid! It's taking forever to get this done, what with computer errors and writers block and writing other stories, and frankly, I jsut need to get this out and simply work on one of my other stories for a while or I'm going to explode!!!!!!!!
Malik: *walking in* You need to take a chill pill.
