Chapter 12

MP: Since my faithful reviewer, mobilehomes, keeps asking I will answer the review, The dreams are just Sakura's worst fears.

They arrived in Domino and they headed for the museum, after calling Marik, and Joey. They arrived with Marik, Joey, Bakura, and Shadi waiting for them. Sakura, Alex, Gabriel, Sarai, and Pegasus tried to cover the glow of the Millennium items. They went into the museum and the staff understood why Marik had all these people. They followed Sakura's directions on where to stand. "Ok every one in position?" she asked as she stood in the center of them, the 3 whole statues and the fourth one's base in the diamond position.

"Ready." They said. A security guard asked, "What are they doing?" Another researcher said, "Marik said they were doing a recreation for historical purposes." Each of the item holders said a chant. In order from Sakura's left going round until Sakura's right. Pegasus, Gabriel, Sarai, Alexandra, Bakura, and Shadi; then Sakura herself. Her chant was longest and then once she said the final words the statues (Plus the base of the smashed one) glowed. Sakura saw what had been described in the note book happening. A beam of energy shot from each one until it was transferring from all of the statues (base of the 4th too) we transferring the beam from one to the other at a faster rate. Then it was to bright to look at.

In the light Sakura felt herself falling. She saw Yami become solid while she was becoming ghost like. "SAKURA!" he yelled to her. She vanished and he landed in the real world. When the light cleared they saw Yami standing in Sakura's place upset. "Yami what happened?" asked Haru. "I don't know she vanished." He said. "Lemme see Sakura's note book." He said and grabbed the book bag from Serenity's hands. "She knew this could happen yet she did this any way!" he yelled. "That's Sakura for you." Said Sarai. She was spaced out a bit. "She'll be fine if she survives long enough for us to find a way to her." She said.

"But what about Yami? Maybe he knows of a way to find her." Said Alex. "I may, but only those who the items have chosen can go." He said. Shadi had been talking to Haru. "It would seem the key finds now o be the time for me to pass it on to a new bearer. It has chosen Haru." He said. Hikaru and Ryuo were arguing. "Even if it chose you I wouldn't inflict the tomb robber upon you!" said Bakura. "But he's been banished." Said Hikaru. "How do you know? I thought he was gone once before and he came back." Said Bakura.

"He's been banished." Said Sarai touching the item walking over to them. "Fine Hikaru. If you're dead set, as is this thing, you can have it." He said removing the Ring. "I'll remain behind Said Pegasus. "Well we need you too. One item bearer must remain behind." Said Yami. The 6 who were going (All second generation save Yami.) stood in a circle. Sarai said the spell and they all vanished Where was Sakura in all of this?

Sakura woke up face down in the sand. It was night and she was out side of the great pyramid. It still had it's white stone casing. 'I must be in the past!' she thought. She stood up and saw she was surrounded by 3 men in clothing from the time period. "You think it's a monster?" asked one to the other. "I don't know but its clothing is weird." Said another. "Bet she'd make a pretty penny sold on the market dressed like a normal person." Said the final one. They moved forward and the one behind her had a club and knocked her out. She woke up with her right hand clasped around her locket.

She stood up shakily and realized she was wearing raggedy robes that barely served their function. She tried to walk but her left ankle was shackled. She flipped open the locket and was able to think clearly. "I was sent here for a reason." She said to her self in English. She looked around and saw she was chained to a wooden stake near the edge of an encampment. A man in good robes walked over and looked her over. "By the gods. She really does resemble him. How much do you want for her?" asked the man. "For you High Priest, she's a gift." Said the man. The man put a shackle around Sakura's neck and attached a chain to that.

He unlocked her foot and the put shackles on her wrists. A half hour later she was in a slave pen with several others. They saw how pale she was and one asked, "Are you a monster?" "No. I'm not from here." She said. "Your accent is odd." Said the slave. "I'm Sakura." She said. "Em." He said. "What's that" Em asked pointing to her locket. "It's a locket. It's all I have left of my parents." She said. "Does it open?" he asked. "Yes. She flipped it open and Em's eye's widened. "Your father looks like Atem." He said. "I know. But he's not Atem." She said closing the locket. "Slaves be quiet." Said a guardsman. Sakura sat down and hugged her knees. She fell asleep only to be woken up a short time later. "High priest wants to speak with you slave." Said the guardsman. She was lead by a chain into a finely built stone house.

"Leave us." Said the high priest. The guards man left them. "You look a lot like my good for nothing cousin, now tell me who are you." He said. "I am Sakura." She said. "Isis is she lying?" he asked. "No. She's telling the truth." Said Isis stepping out from behind a statue. "See where she came from." He said. "I'll try." She said and she was shocked. "She came from a time not come yet." She said. "The future! Who's the girl's father then?" he asked. "A man named Yugi. He solves the Millennium Puzzle 5000 years from now." She said. "The millennium items survive till that time?" he asked. "Yes and you are reborn." Said Sakura. "Really. As what?" he asked. "You look almost exactly the same except in the future you do not believe in magic." said Sakura.

"Do I hold any power?" he asked. "Yes." She said. "Who are you then, how do you tie into all of this?" he asked. "My father disappeared and the puzzle was smashed I solved it for myself and have been searching for him since. He may be here since it was the items that sent me here." She said. "You are lucky my curiosity has taken the better of me. Unlike Isis I really don't explore strange things." He said. "May I ask you some thing?" she said. "No." he said. "You will be taken to Isis's temple. She'll train you as a priestess. Otherwise I'd have had you working the fields." He said. Isis waved her hand and the chains broke.

"You will follow me." She said. Sakura nodded and followed her. "Your name is no longer Sakura. Its Aktruai." She said. She lead her to an underground temple and she was shown into a chamber. "This is were you will stay. You are to protect the items when they are being kept here." She said. Sakura nodded. "I assume you know some shadow magic." said Isis. Sakura nodded. "Good." She said and Went to a chest. "Until you came along I had to do this as well as my duties to The Pharaoh. Now I can help him more readily." She said and handed. Sakura some clothing. She quickly dressed and put the head dress on. "As long as you say you've been here your whole life you can cover up your pale skin." She said. Sakura nodded.

"Will I be aloud to leave?" she asked. "Once you've learned conduct you will." Isis said. It was a week later when Isis decided to take her out side to see the city. "Stay close, Aktruai." She said. Sakura nodded. "Priestess, we need you to place new spells on the dungeon to keep the monsters out." Said a warden, he saw Sakura. "A new priestess?" he said. "Yes. She is the protector of the items. She knows some shadow magic. She's been underground her whole life she's pale." She said. "Will she accompany you to help with the dungeons?" he asked. "Yes." She said. They went there. Sakura said a repelling spell and the walls glowed. "We need to see if the spell covered the whole building." Said Isis.
