Well I have some other ideas but if all goes well hopefully Seto and Serena will be together and do you know what that means?"
"That we accomplished our main objective?"
"No Noa…that means…we might just have a carrier in the matchmaking business!" exclaimed Mokuba to which Noa cringed.
"Mokuba…I think reading those girl articles has finally made you crack." Noa commented to which Mokuba glared a bit at him. Noa glared back and for a few moments a glaring contest was at hand but only lasted for a few minutes before the two laughed it off. Then went back to their planning and their mission.
Now: Cat, Dreams and Computers
The sun kissed blonde haired Serena continued to sleep through the doctor's ordeal of their tests and check-ups to see if the she was suffering from anything other than energy loss. Once all the tests were finished the maid watching the doctors called for Seto Kaiba. While she called Seto, the doctors and herself left Serena's room.
The ice cold blue eyed CEO of Kaiba corporation only gave the maid 5 seconds to report what was going on with the sleeping Serena. The maid quickly told Kaiba that the girl was only sleeping and only suffering from energy loss, the speed at which she was speaking to Kaiba made the conversation last only 2 seconds.
Seto was always like that with his servants, either tell him what is going on in that amount of time or you're fired. One would start to think 'You're Fired' was that man's favorite saying. The young CEO hung up the phone after the 2 second conversation with the maid was over. He was reclining in his leather chair at his desk in his office.
When the maid had called Seto was a bit more angrier than usual. His lawyer, the one he called to see if he could sue the mall told him they had no case. His anger only seemed to have lessen when the news of Serena came. He was starting to wonder why this stupid girl, a girl whom is the cousin of someone who is very close to his enemy Yami, would have an effect on him.
Must the damn teenage hormones. Now I'm gonna have tabloids and the media after not only myself but over her. Oh I can only see the headlines now 'SETO KABIA TAKES IN MYSTERIOUS AND INJURED WOMAN INTO HIS HOME!' 'SETO KABIA IN A LOVE AFFAIR WITH WHO?' Seto thought to himself. At the thought of the tabloids Seto felt a headache coming on.
He slouched down in his seat, bring a hand to pinch the bridge of his nose. Trying to suppress the on coming headache. His other hand went into a drawer located to the right of him. Upon opening the door there was a pill bottle that Seto grabbed out. Using both his hands he popped open the bottle of pills and then popped two into his mouth.
The sooner he took some medicine for the on coming headache the sooner the headache would be gone. However since he was at the computer and headaches usually made his eyes a bit weak Seto Kaiba had to use his reading glasses. He only needed those glasses for when he got a headache which was once in a blue moon. Yet when ever the young CEO put on his reading glass, if a girl were to walk in the room…well she would be even more attracted to the young CEO.
The glasses Seto had on were a light frame and were thin, since the prescription was a very weak one. They made Seto look even more handsome and more mature. After putting on the bifocals Seto looked back at his computer with ice cold blue eyes. What was on the screen were information of Sailor Moon and her Sailor Scouts, he wanted to prove that they were fake and couldn't use magic. Because magic didn't exist, well at least according to him.
Seto also wanted to get any information on the appearance of Sailor Shadow and her relationship with duel monsters and Sailor Moon. All of the searches Seto was going through were dead ends. The sites he was looking on were of fan clubs, holding information on who Sailor Moon might be or her first appearance etc. He then tried looking up news articles, the results he got were Sailor Moon had been in Tokyo for a long while.
Her Sailor Scouts each represented a planet along with powers that represented each planet. Each article he found was of how they saved the day or telling their tales of their heroic deeds. Seto was starting to get annoyed with his search. If he didn't find anything useful then he might have to hack into the government's computer (which he had done on some occasions) to get more information on Sailor Moon.
His search on Sailor Shadow came to a dead end and quick. He couldn't find any information on her. Seto was just about to hack into the government's computer when a site caught his eye. Sailor's of light and Sailors of the dark…
He rose an eyebrow at the site but since he nothing to lose but time he checked it out. Moving his mouse he clicked on the site. Soon popping up was a image of Sailor Moon wrapped around in beads while in the back ground was an image of what were the remains of a Kingdom of a Moon?
Seto moved his mouse around and soon found some bio on Sailor Moon. How she is the long lost princess of the Moon Kingdom. How each of the sailor scouts were her protectors and she was the only wielder of the most powerful crystal in the whole universe, The Sliver Crystal. Seto couldn't help but scoff at the site.
This is bunch of BS. There's no way a kingdom could've existed on the Moon. Let alone have its own Princess. And each planet having a princes, its preposterous! If there was such a kingdom the astronauts who first went on the moon would've seen it! This is all bunch of BS. How could this one girl be the most powerful person in the world, if all she fights with is jewelry? Oh and how can a person live for all eternity? Let alone be the ultimate warrior of light!
Seto thought to himself, he was about to close the window to the site when the he read: But even though she is the purist of all, even she has a dark side.
Again Seto rose an eyebrow at the words and clicked on it. He was soon lead to a page talking about well you guessed it Sailor Shadow. However their was little information on the sailor scout. She was only seen during the downfall of the both the Silver Alliance along with two of the Earth Kingdoms. The Kingdom that ruled Elysium ruled by Endymion, the crown prince of Earth. The second Kingdom that ruled over the shadows and of Egypt Pharaoh Atemu, cousin to the crown prince.
Seto wide a tiny bit wide at eyed at what he saw. Again with ancient Egypt! Again with magic! There is no such thing as magic! Seto thought as he closed the window of the site he was looking on. He took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. The on coming headache was slowly but painfully going away. He got up from his seat and began to walk towards Serena's room.

((AN: Ha! Thought you had read the last of this chapter nope! Happy Aprils Fools everyone!))
Meanwhile with the black cat with ruby eyes Luna still had the card of darkness in her mouth. She was running across streets and dodging both humans and cars to find where the mansion of this 'Seto Kaiba' could be.
This is getting me no where. I have no clue where I am going and I need to find Serena. Oh yes, that girl is going to have an anklet bracelet tracer now. I know! I can look in the yellow pages, hopefully the address should be there. Luna thought to herself while running across the street.
She soon spotted a payphone and went inside. She jumped onto the little able where the phone book was located upon. Using her paw she began to flip through the pages trying to find out where Seto lived. Many people walked by and looked at Luna. It was odd enough to see the crescent moon marking on her forehead and the card in her mouth but having her flip through the yellow pages made them think she was a tried circus pet.
Luna ignored the stares people were giving her and concentrated on the task at hand. Finding Serena, give her information about her new cards and of the new evil that might be coming. As well as putting a tracer on her. Ruby eyes soon spotted the address she had been looking for.
Ok that's about a...oh bother! It's a 2 mile run from here! I'm not as young as I used to be…Serena better be thankful I'm running two miles to find her. Luna thought as she jumped off the stand on which the phone book was on.
She walked up to a cross walk and looked both ways before crossing. Just because she was in a hurry didn't mean Luna didn't take the time to look both ways before crossing the street. Soon she started to run across town, heading towards the Kaiba mansion.
While Kaiba was looking up information and Luna trying to make her way into the Kaiba mansion the two young Kaiba's continued to conjure up a plan. They were still in their play room, each giving out details or tweaking their plans a bit in order for it to be a success. The subject matter of Mokuba's reading material had been dropped.
By now Noa was on one of the laptop's in the play room, he and Mokuba had at east two in the room incase either one of theirs broke. The taping of keys could be herd as Noa began to hack his way into Domino High School's database. Mokuba was seating on a chair next to Noa on his own laptop. The two laptops were connected to the other so whatever one laptop saw the other would show the same thing
Noa let out a sigh, hacking into the database was a bit harder than he assumed. It's as if the school is afraid of Seto trying to hack his way in here…Maybe that's why its hard to get in. Seto must've threaten them or something to make the school board enough their security systems. Noa thought to himself while the taping of the keys could still be herd.
Mokuba watched with some interest while Noa hacked his way into the database. Soon a little 'beep' sound was herd meaning that Noa had hacked into the school's database.
"Alright I'm in now to locate the class files and student files." Noa said while he moved his mouse clicking on 'class files'.
Mokuba nodded and began to type on his own laptop, opening another window to the school's database. The same window popped up on Noa's laptop but he minimized it and let Mokuba take care of the student files. Mokuba clicked on the link to the student files and soon located Seto and Serena's files. He blinked for a moment.
"Hey Noa check this out."He told Noa, Noa listened and opened up the minimized to see Serena's file.
He blinked in stupefaction at seeing Serena's grades from her old middle school and high school. Her grades in middle school were C's and D's but grew better over time. In her 10th grade report she had all A's and a B. She was well in track but her math skills could use a little bit of work.
"Wow, who would've thought Serena was….well…a bit of ditz in school. Guess that old saying 'Dumb blonde' used to apply to her." Noa commented.
"Yeah but not anymore, look at her grades. Now she's ranked 2nd in her class next to this Ami girl. Now let's look at Seto's grades." Mokuba suggested then went into the search mode of the database. He entered 'SETO KAIBA' and soon the grades popped up before the two brothers.
The two brothers looked through the grades their elder brother got and gave a yawn. The smart and handsome CEO had all A's and fulfilled every requirement to graduate. Seeing all the A's Seto got was a bit predictable and boring for the two brothers.
"At least he's consistent." Mokuba commented.
"Yeah and at least Serena pulled up her grades. Now onto see which classes the two have." Noa said before minimizing the open window before looking at their class schedule's. It appeared the two only had 3 classes together and that was it. Both Mokuba and Noa shook their heads at that, for that wouldn't do.
"Now what classes can Serena and Seto can be in that wouldn't appear as if someone hacked into the school's database?" Noa asked.
"Well Serena has choir as a fine art and Seto doesn't have a fine art class so put him in there, but as the pianist." Mokuba suggested.
"Why the pianist?" Inquired Noa.
"Because I don't think he'll sing and I know he knows how to play the piano." Explained Mokuba. Noa nodded and placed the class in Seto's schedule.
"Alright and now Serena what should she be placed in?" Mokuba asked.
"Hmm…well she and Seto are both taking philosophy but at different times let's put them in the same class period." Suggested Noa to which Mokuba nodded in agreement.
Noa rearranged the classes Serena and Seto have and soon were finished. Both of the two boys smiled at their work. Now Serena and Seto had Choir, Philosophy, Math, English and now Science together. They could only hope the two would be seated next to the other, for which they would leave up to the teachers.
Now quickly after the work was done closed both windows and logged out of the school's database and erased all files of their whereabouts there before turning off the laptops. He leaned back in his chair letting a satisfied sigh come from his lips.
"We did a good job today Mokuba now what to do to reward ourselves for our hard work?" asked Noa. Mokuba cupped his own chin and thought for a moment before answering happily.
"Ice cream!" he said happily, Noa nodded in agreement. The two got off their chairs and rushed out of the play room down into the kitchen, where their ice cream treats were awaiting them.
Luna had FINALLY after much running and being almost run over by cars had reached the Kaiba mansion's gates. I need…to get…...more exercise otherwise…I won't be able…to make it…next time. Luna thought while panting for air.
She squeezed her way through the bars and very cautiously looked around for any sign of guard dogs or any security systems around. She spotted with her ruby eye camera and some statures and thought that maybe something hidden in the statures were cameras as well.
She needed to keep her guard up and began to wander around the grounds of the Kaiba mansion. Now her only problems were not getting spotted and finding Serena. The card was still in her mouth and not soaked from her panting. Luna tried for the next ten minutes trying to search for Serena only to end up getting lost.
This is when I wish I was human, it would be so much easier to find Serena that way. Luna thought to herself as she hid behind a bush, placing the card down on the ground to look around.
"Oh Serena where are you?" Luna asked silently. The black filled card she had placed down herd Luna's little question and slowly began to glow a gold color once again. The card began to float in the air when Luna noticed a strange power coming and saw it was the card again.
The card hovered in front of Luna for a moment with it's gold aura surrounding it before Luna felt herself being transported into another place along with the card. Her surroundings began to get fuzzy in her eyes and soon felt a wash of dizziness over come her. Only lasting for a split second before her vision became clear again.
She looked around her new surroundings and saw she was in a room of some sort. Luna then turned her attention back to where the card went along with trying to locate Serena. Ruby eyes looked every where on the floor but no sign of the card until Luna looked on the bed. The card was to her astonishment still floating but floating over something or someone.
Luna hopped onto the bed only to be Serena sleeping peacefully. To which Luna wanted to fall in annoyance. Here I've been looking for Serena and here she is just, just SLEEPING! Oh yes I am getting that tracer but what does the card want with Serena? If it plans on harming her- Luna was cut off from her thoughts when a voice began to speak out of no where. The voice was calm, serious and had a regal tone about it.
Calm down cat. I will not harm the girl. I only wish to talk to her. I am an ally but if you dare to test my patience with the girl, cat you will find yourself in a not so nice position. It is my fault the girl is weak, the least I can do is explain to her of the powers I posses. Said the voice that Luna believed to have come from the card.
She was correct, for the floating card's golden aura began to attach to Serena. Causing her crescent moon to appear then change into the eye of Ra with the crescent moon in the center of the eye. Luna could only watch as her mistress was being changed by the card, but was it for the better or for the worse?
The card continue to float while something began to form in Serena's mind. She was being surrounded by mist only to see something in gold come slowly at her. Serena at first tensed and went to grab her locket, thinking an enemy was coming at her when the same voice that spoke to Luna spoke to Serena.
"Do not fear Serena, I am a friend. Whom you should know." The voice said then from behind the mists was someone Serena wasn't expecting, Sailor Shadow.
"Sailor Shadow?" Serena asked in disbelief. She couldn't believe here in whatever place she was, was Sailor Shadow standing before her. The Sailor of the shadows nodded at Serena before leading her some where. Serena followed Sailor Shadow, trusting her since she did help her at the mall with the new transformation.
Sailor Shadow began to lead Serena somewhere and soon they both came upon a barren desert place. The winds blew, causing some sand to dance with it. Serena looked around and saw pyramids as tall or even taller than most buildings.
"Are we in Egypt?" she asked.
"Yes and No. We are in your dreams, where I'm showing you where my power comes from." Sailor Shadow began to explain. Serena nodded and sat down in the sand, knowing the explanation Sailor Shadow would give would be a long one. Sailor Shadow began to tell the tale of the Millennium items and how they were suppose to hold the evil powers of the Shadow realm. However that didn't stop the powers of the shadow realm to leak out. Causing the ancient monsters to run rampaged through the streets of Egypt.
The Moon kingdom watched from a far, they didn't want to risk the alliance with the Earth by stepping to help save one of the kingdoms yet the Queen did so anyway. She sent her best friend Nephrina, a mere servant to go down to Earth and using a crafted eye of Ra to harness the shadows and become the Sailor scout who serves no planet. The Sailor of the Shadows. Nephrina did as she was told from her best friend and went to Earth and was successful in becoming Sailor Shadow whom not only protected the shadows from being used unwisely but served as a protector of the Pharaoh so to say.
Even though the Queen of the Moon thought Nephrina was the only one whom could become this guardian of shadows she was wrong. The shadows themselves had a soul of their own but not quite fully developed. When Nephrina harnessed the power the shadows allowed her to do so, becoming the legendary Sailor Shadow of Egypt.
As Sailor Shadow Nephrina gave some of her power to the Pharaoh incase he needed to protect himself from evil incase she wasn't around. Using the power of the shadows allowed the ancient Pharaoh to use the shadow powers to lock the monsters in the Shadow realm and saved man kind.
However little did Nephrina know that power would lead her to her doom. Being exposed to the shadows too long can taint a heart, be it human, Lunarian or any other species. Only those few who had a pure heart could fully control the Shadows and Nephrina heart wasn't so pure. She was at times envious of the Queen and her envy became jealousy when she herd her Queen had given birth to the precious Moon princess Serenity.
The shadows began to feed on Nephrina's jealousy and soon consumed her, allowing her to be called the self proclaimed Dark Moon Queen. Queen Selenity using the power of the sliver crystal locked Nephrina into a mirror leaving her with the dark and evil power of the shadows. When that happened soon the kingdoms of the Moon and Earth began to fall.
The shadows without any one to fully control them began to be used in an evil manor while the Moon was invaded by the Negaforce. As one knows Queen Selenity used the power of the silver crystal again to seal off the Negaforce while the Pharaoh used the shadow powers he had left to seal off the shadow in the Millennium items.
The two of them saved the future of Earth however lost their lives for it. Yet what does this have to do with Sailor Shadow if Nephrina was her? The power Nephrina used were the evil shadows but how could they exist? Shouldn't one shadow be the same as the others? During the time when the shadows were starting to be controlled in an evil manor the shadows after being discharged from Nephrina had a more developed soul from being exposed to Nephrina when she was good, Pharaoh Atemu and Queen Selenity. So when the shadows began to be controlled in an evil manor the shadows with the soul separated from the evil shadows whom wanted power. Thus creating the sole soul and power of Sailor Shadow.
The soul of Sailor Shadow watched the downfall of the kingdoms and couldn't do anything for she was only a soul and had no body. So after the down fall of the kingdoms was locked away, she put herself into a sleeping sate, in an object that would be used by the future Sailor Shadow, one who was pure of heart and would only use the power to help not harm. And whom the soul of Sailor Shadow deemed worthy enough to handle her power. That person was Serena and the object that held the soul of Sailor Shadow would be in the form of a card, a card that only Serena could use.
Serena listened to Sailor Shadow's story and understood what was going on. Now the only thing to do was, find out who the new enemy was. The mist soon began to come back after Sailor Shadow's explanation was over.
"How will I find the card?" Serena asked while trying to keep her sights on the now disappearing Sailor Shadow.
"Your cat has the card, the name of the card will be Warrior of Shadows. You only need to call my name and I will be there to help you Serena." Sailor Shadow said before she was fully gone. Outside in the real world the gold aura that was attached to Serena slowly weakened. The aura retreated back into the card and the card floated onto the covers of the bed. Soon the card was no longer filled with darkness no but a monster no a girl no Sailor Shadow appeared on the card with the name 'Warrior of Shadows'.
Luna looked at the card and then herd some foot steps coming. But who could be coming in? Luna didn't want to take any chances on being spotted and so put the card back in her mouth and hid under the bed. Meanwhile the person whom who had just walked it was none other than Seto Kaiba.
But what could he be doing in Serena's room? He said nothing as his ice cold blue eyes looked over at the sleeping Serena. The ice shield around his eyes slowly some what melted when he was alone with her. He still noticed the strand of hair that was still out of place on Serena' face.
Well no one was around, so he allowed himself to slowly, calmly and gently move the strand of hair away from Serena's angelic like face. He couldn't help but notice how nice and soft her skin was and how warm. It was then that Serena began to stir. It wasn't because of Seto moving the strand of her hair but since her dream was over and her energy back to up to normal levels she could leave her realm of sleep. Seto took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, right across from Serena. Serena's ocean blue eyes fluttered open as she took in account what was around her and where she was. Her eyes looked over and soon spotted Seto and wondered what was he doing.
"You're finally awake." Seto said in his own icy manor yet the shield of ice wasn't that much around his blue eyes. Serena groaned for a moment while she tried to sit up in the bed she was placed in.
"Where am I?" she asked while rubbing her eyes.
"You're in my mansion and in a guest room." Seto replied, only to see Serena shocked to hear where she was…..

AN: Yes this time it is for real. This is the end of the chapter and I hope all of you enjoyed! I will try to update sometime soon! Now don't forget to review!
