MP: K here's the next chapter. Remember any duels will be very condensed since I am not good at describing them.

Chapter 11

They nodded and got on it's back. They landed in an oasis. They heard voices. "Are you sure you're alright? That duel really took it out of you." Said a boy's voice. "I'll be fine." Said a girl's voice. "Sakura, are you sure?' he asked. "I'm fine Gabe just let me change in peace so scat to to the other side or else." She said. Haru and the group waites until Sakura, wearing her tank top-over shirt, shorts and sandals combo emerged from the foliage. "Oh hi. Did you treat Blackie good?" she said walking over and petting the dragon underneath the chin.

"Yeah. How did you, oh never mind. We heard you and this Gabriel arguing. You dueled some one?" said Haru worried. "Yes and I won. I just need to win the tournament and my quest will be closer to it's finish. Gabriel has the millennium scales." She said. She decided that she'd roam. She gathered her things up and the roaming duelists roam off the desert, and at the edge Sakura un-summoned the dragon.

1 week later-----------------------------------

Sakura, Haru, Hikaru, and Gabriel(Who had lost twicechallenged Haru and Hikaru but was staying to root for Sakura) were at the new castle's doors. They entered. Sakura still had her mask on that meant she was undefeated. Leila was there along with Cricket, weevil's adopted son (A/N I mean some on who'd want to marry Weevil?) Then there was Alex and James regional champ from his area who thought he was better than every one there. The celebrity guests, Kaiba, Raphael, and Weevil were in another balcony thing. First match was Sakura Vs. Cricket. Sakura won with out even trying. The next one was Haru Vs. Sarai. It was narrow but Haru won.

The third match was Leila vs Hikaru, Hikaru won. Alex vs: James, and Alex beat him in 5 turns. They were invited to diner. Sakura found her way to her room and decided to change since the school uniform was getting dirty. She came out in the black out fit.(You know the one from Dungeon Dice Monsters) She took a seat next to Haru and to prevent from slipping up she and Yami switched. At this point the only ones to not know who she was the people in charge and the group was finding it very funny. Sarai, Cricket, Leila, and James shwoed up late. Sarai's eyes looked far off.

Sarai's Vision

She saw the foggy figure of a man chained to a wall in a dungeon. She the saw Sakura in chains on what seemed to be an alter and then a glimpse of priest Seto laughing as he prepared some ritual. She closed her eyes and the vision ended.

The millennium items all glowed. Pegasus's eye was visible through his hair. "What the" said Cricket. "The Millennium items are reacting to some thing." Said Yami. "My vision." Sarai said. Weevil was confused. "Millennium items?" he said. "Yes there are 7. 5 of the 7 are here." Said Gabriel holding the scales high. Pegasus looked at him and said, "That means Yami has the real Millennium Puzzle." "The items don't take well to duplicates." Said Sarai. "Or the wrong owners." Said Alexandra crossing her arms with the top of the Millennium Rod showing.

"Who are you?" he demanded. "I'll have to be defeated for you to find that out. Since you, James, Cricket and Weevil are on page one and every one else is on page six." Said Sakura switching with Yami. The ones mentioned glared. The food was served and Sakura was the first one finished since she didn't have much of an appetite. She was about to get up when Pegasus remarked, "You know there are some who believe you can't read what's on your mask." "I can other wise I'd have come out and said my name already." She said.

"Then read it." He said. "Hope. A Hope I can no give up on. I can not give up on it because he is counting on me. Counting on me to save him. I must save him." She said, almost forgetting to disguise her voice. "That's what it says?" said Pegasus. "Yes. I can read it too." Said Kaiba. Pegasus was upset. "It's part of a puzzle." she said. She left the room. She went to her room and she locked the door. She took off her mask and set it down. She set the puzzle on the bed and she took off her jacket and her shoes. She then moved the puzzle onto the bed side table. She crawled into bed and she fell asleep.

Sakura's dream

She was in Egypt again. She saw the figure of a man walking in front of her. It was familiar. "Father!" she yelled and he looked at her; it was Yugi but his eyes were blank. He continued on. "Father…" she said and she grabbed him and he threw her hand off. She was hurt. She chased after him and he vanished. She looked around and then saw a figure of a woman. This time the figure approached her. "My sweet child. My how you've grown. Please remember I'll always be proud of you." She said. "Mother. I miss you" she said softly. "Please try not t give up even when it seems like you can't win." Anzu said hugging Sakura. "I'll keep trying mother. I'll keep trying." She said.

Yami was in deep thought over the fate of his first other half. Sakura was trying to figure it out but he wasn't so sure about Yugi being in the shadow realm any more. He might be some where else. Yami was such deep thought he didn't even notice the strange figure enter his mind room until they were right in front of him. "Yugi?" he asked. The figure vanished and the door to the hall way between him and Sakura was illuminated.

He exited and saw the door to her room was open and Sakura groggily was following a figure. "Yami did you see this figure too?" she asked. "Yes." He said. She saw the figure look at them both and then he left.

"Yami I-" she began to say when she was abruptly woken up. She dressed in a hurry, pulling her mask on as she opened the door. "What is it Pegasus?" she asked Yawning effectively disguising her voice. "There's a letter here for a Sakura Mutou. Do you know who she is?" he asked. Sakura saw the letter was addressed to a Yami not Sakura. "Ask that kid Haru. He should know. Anythign for me?" she asked. "Yes." Said Pegasus. "Why does the President of Industrial Illusions come to my room to deliver my letter when his butlers could have done it?" She asked be fore he left. "Curiosity." He said and she closed the door.

It was from Joey.

Sakura,

Hopefully this reaches you using the alias you're the under. I heard you made it into the finals and the news is having a field day trying to figure out who you are. Some even think you are Yugi! Hope you go all the way and kick Pegasus's pampered butt!

Joey

She smiled and then went out of the room over to Haru's room. "Want to talk strategies?" she said pretending to be some other competitor. "Sure come in, but I'll still kick your tail." He said playing along. She removed the mask and said, "Did Pegasus bug you too?" "Yes. No wonder dad or your dad thought he was evil. He's so annoying." Said Haru. He handed Sakura the letter addressed to her by her real name. She opened it and it read,

Greeting Miss Mutuo,

We've heard an awful lot about you. We've also heard you can read Egyptian. It is a shame you had to go off and watch your friend's tournament before we could speak with you in person, we have a job for you. We need you to translate a relic we've found. WE'll be at the Domino museum awaiting your arrival

Sincerely,

Mr. Gambini inc.

"Ever heard of these guys?" she asked. "No." said Haru. While they talked they didn't notice the door creep open. "Haru I keep having dreams where my father ignores me as if he doesn't remember me." She said. "That must be horrible." Said Haru. He walked closer to her. "I worry about you some times. You are going to over worry your self until you are sick." He said. She was blushing and she didn't know why. This wasn't the first time this had happened near Haru. Back when they went to the museum this had happened."Yes but-" She was cut off by Haru kissing her. She kissed him back and that's when she noticed the door was open. They broke apart blushing.

"Weevil's kid!" said Haru catching the kid by the scruff of his shirt. "Yami is the elusive Sakura. Wait till I tell father and Pegasus." He said. "No need to tell me." Said Pegasus popping out from behind a corner. Haru glared and dropped the kid. "At last we meet Sakura. Tell me why the charade?" he asked. "Because, I didn't want to be on the radar. I know of what the eye can do. AS long as your sights weren't on me I wouldn't have to be as on guard." She said. "Well why is it you came here then?" he asked. "I'm here for the items. I don't need to take it off of you. I just need you to come with me." She said. "I'll come with you to domino if you win the tournament." He said.

"Well even if I didn't need the eye I'd have gone all the way any way." She said smiling. Pegasus left and she took the mask from where she had set it and placed it in a pocket. "So Sakura you aren't mad at me for, you know." Said Haru. "No, not at all." She said. She walked out and went into her room. She pulled her duel disk on. :;.So you and Haru love each other.;: said Yami. :I guess.: she said to him. She walked out and to the main hall where the others were. Weevil was staring at Sakura as was every one else who didn't know who she was or what she looked like maskless. "You're a girl!" said James shocked. "Yes." She said.

"So what's your real name?" asked Weevil. "You should know Substitute teacher Underwood." She said. "Sakura!" he said. "Yes, at the time I didn't duel but since then I do." She said. She drew from her deck three cards. "Th-the God cards!" he squealed and ran forward as she quickly put them back into her deck. "You are so not even touching these." She said. "I challenge you to a duel then." Said Weevil. "Fine." She said. every one stood back and watched Sakura cream Weevil. He was shocked that Sakura destroyed him with out using Tomais, Slifer, Ra, or Obelisk.

She walked off to where Haru, Hikaru, and Alex were standing. "So it comes down to us 4. Good luck." Said Sakura. "Of course you can say that miss good cards holder." Said James who was on the ground since Haru punched him. Gabriel came over. "So if both of you win you'll have to face each other." Said Gabriel. "Oh yeah, hadn't thought of that…" said Sakura. "Don't go easy on me or I'll never ever you know again." Said Haru. "Wouldn't dream of going easy on you." She said. She faced Hikaru and it was one of the few were she had to actually use her strategies. He fell for her Magician girl power up strategy once he managed to destroy her dark magician.

Haru narrowly beat Alex. Alex wasn't a sore loser but she was shocked she had lost to her goof ball cousin. "We will have a one hour recess between this duel so the finalist can rest up for their match." Said a suit wearing goon. Sakura went for a walk and managed to get out side. She sat down on the stairs. She remembered that she had brought a cell phone with her. She quickly dialed Joey's number. "Hello?" he said with his accent. "Hi Joey. Ever hear of déjà vu?" she asked. "Yeah so how's the tournament?" he asked confused. "Well Cricket, weevil's adopted kid, caught me. So they know who I am. And in 20 minuets I face Haru in the finals." She said.

"How did Cricket catch you?" he asked. "Well it's kinda lucky I had my mask off at the time cause well he caught Haru kissing me.' She said and she held the phone far from her ear. "HE WHAT!" yelled Joey's voice. "I kissed him back." She said and heard "So you two are going to admit it now?" "You could see it?" she said. "Well the fact that you kept leaving notes written in Egyptian with out any key You could have written anything and Haru could have been only reading half the note. Also even though it's hard to see, some times when he's protective of you a slight blush comes to your face." He said. "Well I'd better go" she said. "I'm getting a call on the other line." He said.

She hung up and saw Haru behind her. "Oh hi. If I had known I'd have-" she said. "It's ok. So This is just like the last tournament. Mutuo Vs. Wheeler." He said. "Yes." She said. They walked inside and Leila was talking to Alexandra. She seemed to be getting annoyed. Haru walked over and turned the subject to dueling, saving his cousin from boy talk. Kaiba walked behind Sakura and pointed out something. "You know Haru is awfully protective of all of you. Some thing his father was too." "Yes and he is loyal." She said. She saw a misty figure walk around a corner and she went to follow it.

"Duelists please report to the dueling field and we request that all of you observers report to the observation balcony." Said the goon from an hour earlier. Haru and Sakura walked into the room where the old giant arena used to be but now there was just a plat form. Sakura had to have Yami's help before the duel could even begin. She could bring her self to start a duel, which she had to win, against a friend. No, more than just a friend. He understood. Yugi had trouble too, maybe not as much trouble as Sakura was, but still had a hesitation. It ended with her summoning Ra and obliterating his Jinzo equipped with Hermos as a helmet to increase his power. She had 100LP left when she won.

"Good Duel Haru." She said. He nodded. Now she had to face Pegasus.

He was acting cocky but she knew it was a just a clever ruse. He was going to use his eye to read her mind. But she and Yami planned on using the mind shuffle. They barely won even with the advantage of an unread mind. Pegasus was shocked that It took a quicker time than it had with Him and Yugi , because they were switching minds from the get go. "So you want me to accompany you back to domino?" he said. "Yes. Gabriel I need you to come along too." She said
