"The test scores from last year are up!" said Sarai happily as she ran to the wall. Sakura was looking at the top and there was her name tied with Alexandra. Haru, Sarai, and Allen(Who had been moved up because his grades were too high for an elementary schoolers) looked around. "Mine must be up higher cause looking at the end only found Haru's grades and looking in the middle proved that Sarai was smarter and I haven't seen Sakura's at all." Said Allen. He looked and saw he was the last on the high scores list.

"Sakura how'd you do?" they asked. She shrugged and said, "Come on lets go before Alexandra shows up to brag." She said. She was walking away when an annoying voice said, "Yugi, no hey you kid who looks like Yugi!" Sakura turned around and Weevil Underwood approached her. "What's your name?" he asked. "Sakura. I take it you're the jerk who threw my dad's exodia over board on the way to duelist kingdom." She said. "Daughter! No wonder you look like him. Such a shame he disappeared. Now I'll never get my hands on the god cards." He said.

"Well that's too bad for you. I don't duel, but I have his deck." She said, "Why are you here?" she added. "I'm a substitute teacher." He said. "Well my classes here for today are finished. So good day Mr.Underwood and pray you don't say what you said to me near officer Wheeler." She said. She and the group walked away. :That jerk. Thinking he can say something like that to me of all people: she thought.

:;.He was never grateful that Yugi kept saving him.:;. Said a voice.

:Who are you: she asked.

:;.I'd like to know that from you as well:;. Said the voice.

:Sakura: she thought spoke.

:;.I am called Yami:;. Said the voice.

:Yami as in the pharaoh from the Ankhetan dynasty: she asked.

:;.Yes. Look to your right:;. Said Yami. She did and nearly screamed she saw a familiar ghost-like figure walking along side her. :That's you right: she asked him. He nodded.

:;.Sakura, what happened to Yugi:;. He asked.

:You knew my father: she asked.

:Your father? Oh I see you look a lot like Yugi. What happened to him:;.

:I don't know Yami.: she said. :I came in possession of this puzzle after his disappearance. It had been smashed so I had to re-solve it.: she said.

:;.I see. Do you have any idea what happened to Yugi:;. He asked.

:A faint clue. A note left behind told me to beware the shadows. I saw in a wobbly writing in Egyptian. Please Solve Puzzle. I don't know weather it was the millennium puzzle or my dad's disappearance. But if anything I'm guessing maybe he's trapped in the shadows.: she said.

:;. The Shadow realm.:;.

:Yami. I think I'll take a detour. Joey'll be worried, though: she told Yami.

:;.Then call him.:;. He said. She nodded and she noticed she had drifted to the detour any way. She found a pay phone and called collect. "Mai, I'm going to be taking a long way home. Please don't worry I'll be fine." She said. "Alright. If your going your usual long way tell Solomon I said hi." Said Mai's voice. "Ok." Said Sakura.

"Can you hear me if I talk to you aloud?" asked Sakura.

:;.Yes but it'll seem like you are crazy.:;. Said Yami.

"It's alright." Said Sakura as she continued on. She stopped out side a familiar game shop and she entered. "Hello welcome to the Kame game shop. How may I help you." Said Solomon as Sakura entered the store. This was the first time Sakura had come to his shop while she was wearing the puzzle. It was also the first time since she changed the way she dressed.

Instead of a girl's uniform, she was wearing Yugi's old uniform along with a locket similar to the one Seto Kaiba always wore. Inside was a picture from when she was 3. They were at their only family vacation to Egypt. Marik and Serenity were still living in Egypt then. They took their picture in front of the sphinx. Solomon was staring at Sakura for a long while.

"Gramps why are you staring?" she asked. Solomon shook his head. "It's nothing Sakura. When did you solve the Millennium puzzle?" he asked. "4 years ago." She said. "So why'd you stop by?" he asked. "Well did you ever catch dad talking to himself?" she asked. "Yes. But it wasn't to himself." Said Solomon. "Was it to the spirit of the puzzle?" she asked. "Yes, how did you know about that?" he asked.

"Gramps, I've just found out about him. I know you can't see him but he's standing right next to me. What do you know about the shadow realm?" she said. "It's a horrible place. It's where all of the monsters were banished to. I was there once it was horrible. What, does Yami think Yugi may be in the shadow realm?" asked Solomon.

"In other words, yes. There was a note left behind saying; Beware the shadows. Be wary warrior of the light. Maybe going to the shadows is the only way to find dad." She said.

:;.That's too dangerous.:;. Said Yami.

"I know but it's my only clue." She said. "Wait I have a second clue." She said pulling the book out of her book bag. She flipped through it, like she had so many times before, and looked at the back. "Maybe if I could find those three pages I'd be able to understand this book." She said. She re-read Yugi's top part of the note and she finally understood what he had meant. "Hey gramps. How many enemies did Yugi have?" she said.

"Many. Are you suggesting one of them took him away?" he asked. She looked at the rest of the note and it listed 3 places to look. "Here it lists domino Museum. Here, and my old room." She said. "Do you have class tomorrow?" asked Solomon. "No." she said. He picked up the phone and dialed Joey's number. "Hi it's Solomon. Sakura will be staying with me since it'll be too late for her to walk home." He said and She heard Mai say alright in a tone that meant that Sakura had better be alright.
