Chapter XII: The Mother of Magic
With the packs, Sy also dug out money and slammed them down on the counter. Ryouji, Anzu and Yuugi flinched as the slam. Taking it, Yuugi counted it and opened the cash register, putting it inside.
"Here you go," spoke Yuugi with a small smile, handing Sy his change. Sy said nothing. Instead, he snatched the money from Yuugi and his new packs. Yuugi blinked but said nothing. Sy, holding his new packs, immediately ripped them open and shuffled through the new cards. He snorted.
"Cheh, all crap cards," he muttered. Closing his eyes, he went over to a trash can and threw the cards in there.
"Hey!" protested both Yuugi and Anzu.
Sy eyed them, "What? I can do whatever the hell I want."
"How can you waste cards like that?" demanded Yuugi. "That's no way of using them!"
A twisted smile curled on Sy's face, a hand inside his pocket. "All cards are crap to me. You have no idea what I possess kid."
"What do you mean?" questioned Ryouji, raising an eyebrow. Sy, however simply turned away and made his way for the door.
"What do you say now Kiaba-boy?"
"I say you're mad." Pegasus held back his laugh, though his eye was sparkling with it. He held the card, his mind wandering for a split second. "And you want this tournament?"
"Yes. The other two cards must be found!" There was a moment's pause on the other hand. Seto sighed heavily, kicking himself very hard mentally when he spoke.
"If you swear to stay away from both Mokuba and myself, then..." {Oh dear God, why the hell am I doing this?} He groaned inside, staring through the window.
Pegasus smiled. "If that is what you wish Kiaba-boy."
"And stop calling me Kiaba-boy."
"Nicknames are a habit, my dear boy." His reply was a dial tone, which made him laugh.
"Your brother worries."
"Of course he does Shadi," sighed Isis. "He is human, unlike that spirit..."
"It would be wise to tell him what has happened," spoke Shadi. Isis cocked an eyebrow, leaning against the railing.
"I don't know...not just yet..." Then, to her surprise, Shadi smiled, a small one though.
"You do not trust the Rod's spirit."
"Mariku would jump at this opportunity to seize power," answered Isis heavily. Then, she held her head, groaning. "Dammit, headaches...this is such a mess...I need to go lay down." {Great, the cards go missing the same exact time my period occurs! The gods hate me, I just know it.}
"You can stay, if you like, though I would be careful of Malik." but Shadi shook his head.
"I must go and look into another matter," answered the man simply. Bowing, he turned and walked away, leaving Isis alone. After a moment, she went back inside and to her bedroom. Climbing onto the bed, she let her ehad hit the pillow, closing her eyes. She sighed again and let herself fall asleep.
"What do you mean?" repeated Ryouji, slightly agitated.
"Why should I tell you?" snapped Sy. "It's not like you're the King of Games."
"Actually, I am," spoke Yuugi softly. The boy froze in his tracks. Turning around, eh stared at Yuugi. There was silence as Sy took this in. Then, to the others shock, he began to laugh.
Sy doubled up in laughter, managing to say, "Y-you mean this midget here is the King of Games? C'mon!" He looked at Yuugi again and snickered. "I mean, your hair looks like a marijuana leaf!" Yugi fell over while Ryouji and Anzu sweatdropped.
"I'm not lying," argued Yuugi, yet Sy still laughed.
Then, Sy, smirking, reached back into his pocket and drew out a card. "Might as well amuse myself," he commented, holding the card, the back of it facing the other three. "If you really are the King of Games, then you'll get a kick out of this." Then, he turned the card around and showed them.
Ryouji, Yuugi and Anzu blinked in confusion, staring at the unknown card.
Sy's eyes shown with power and energy as she clearly spoke the card's name.
"Meet Isis, Mother of Magic."
