Authoress Notes: I posted a new fic, which i think is going to be amusing. You never know. It's called 'Shadows' and it's a Yugioh/Lord of the Rings crossover. If you all could just try it out and maybe review it, I would be really really grateful. ::dances around:: can't wait till the Pandora episodes this weekend! A red Dark Magician! Sugoi! Anyway, enjoy the chapter! ^^
I do not own Yugioh! or Duel Monsters. You know the rest. All rights reserved.

Dreams of Innocence
Chapter VII: Goddess Cards
Isis watched from the doorway as Malik turned his cycle on, the engine roaring. He looked voer his shoulder to see Anzu coming. When she came within a few feet, he tossed her a helmet.
"Put this on," he ordered, hiding a smirk. Gulping, looking a bit scared for her life, Anzu did so.
"And don't pull any stupid stunts Malik!" called out Isis, eyeing him. Before she could hear his reply, however, the phone rang inside. Sighing, she waved to the two and went inside. Grabbing the phone off its hook on the small table, she said, "Hello, Ishtar residence."
"Isis, this is Crawford." Blinking in surprise, Isis held her breath.
"Pegasus?"
"Yes. I need to speak to you. It's urgent." Leaning against the wall, Isis nodded to no one.
"What is it then?"
"It seems that there has been a repeat of the innocent with the god cards." Isis thought her heart stopped right then and there.
"W-what do you mean? The god cards are-"
"It isn't the god cards Isis." Puzzled, Isis thought about this.
"Not the god cards? Then, what do yo-oh shit. Please do not tell me that-oh Ra." Feeling faint, her body slid down the wall, sitting heavily on the ground. "What happened to them?"
"I do not know. They must have been stolen for when I checked, they were gone."
"But who could have done it? And when?"
"I don't know. I was in the hospital for quite some time. It's been about two weeks since I've left it." Biting her bottom lip, Isis closed her eyes, her thoughts racing. "Isis, are you still there?"
"Yes Pegasus, I am."
"Maybe this will lift your spirits a little: not all of them were stolen." Eyes snapping opened, Isis practically shouted at the man.
"Which one is still safe?" she demanded.
"Hathor is in my hands as we speak."
"Isis and Ma'at are gone then...Pegasus, what's to be done now? It's dangerous that they are stolen. Whomever has them, if they-"
"Isis, their true power cannot be completely unleashed."
"I know that Pegasus, but why would someone steal them? Their power can't trully be used unless they are used with the god cards!"
"That is what puzzles me. You are holding the three gods cards, correct?"
"Yes."
"Hm...I will send you the Goddess Card Hathor. I want you to protect it along with the other three."
"Pegasus, what made you make these six cards?" there was an awkward silenc eon the other end. "When sepearate, they are strong, but together...what could bring you to do such a thing?"
"Arrogance Isis my dear, arrogance." Then, he hung up. Lifting ehrself up and placing phone bakc in its cradle, she gave a heavy sigh. Closing her eyes for a brief moment, she felt her thoughts race about in confusion.
{What now?} she thought. {It was bad enough when the God cards were stolen...but now this?}
[C'mon...you know you want to!]
{Would you can it Yami?} grumbled Malik. For the past five minutes his darker half kept on pestering him to pull any stunt possible to scare Anzu practically to death. Death being the opperative word.
"You need to take a turn here," spoke up Anzu, interrupting his argument with his yami.
"Hang on," he warned as he moved hsi weight to the side to better balanace himself on the bike as they turned left. He felt her arms around his waist tense up as they did.
[She's scared. You can use that to your advantage...]
{Shut up, will ya?}
[Heh.] Rolling his eyes, Malik watched the blue car in front of him.
"We almost there?" he asked Anzu, his voice sounding strange due to the helmet.
"Yeah. You need to take a right onto seventh and then an immediate left," she answered.
"All right. Here comes the next turn."
[Let's have some fun, shall we?] Malik's eyes widened.
{What? No way yami, you can't-" But suddenly he felt himself hit the cold ground a locking sound. Looking around, he recognized the room. Sighing heavily, he shook his head. His yami had locked him in the soul room. Again.

Short, yes. I know that. I seriously, about an hour ago, got back from a sleepover at Kay's house. We stayed up till 'bout one watching movies and babbling about fan fics. I just want to thank Nadia and someone else for the God card pics and info. They're both contributing characters for the upcoming tournament in this fic! ::sweatdrops:: Whoops...gave that away, didn't I? Hehe...Now let's all pray for Anzu now that Mariku is in control. (That's what I'm calling Malik's Yami. Either that, or Marik. You decide). ::goes back to re-reading The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman for the seventh time). ~LadySaturn aka Sanji
