Chapter 3:

~*~Flashback~*~

"Mahado! Mahado!" A young girl ran down the hallway and into her room searching for her Dark Magician card. "Mahado! Where are you?"

She found her card and held it up as a figure similar to the Dark Magician appeared in robes. He smiled down at her as he knelt on his knees as she hugged him tightly.

"What is it, young one?"

"I just passed my ritual (it was suppose to me the same test Malik took to become a tomb keeper but I can't spell the word and this spell checker is giving me a hard time) test! Now I can guard the pharaoh's tomb and read the hieroglyphics on the walls!"

Mahado smiled sweetly down at her. "Then you will be able to read about my disappearance and my role as the priest that held the millennium ring. I served your ancestor Yami. He and I were very good friends."

"Who took the ring from you, my dear sweet Mahado?"

"A dark evil tomb robber. He wanted to collect the seven millennium items to take over the world."

"I'll avenge your death! I'll find him and make him pay for causing you to become a duel monster!"

Mahado laughed sweetly at the little girl's determination. "You just guard the tomb and be a good girl. My wish is for you to not seek him out. I want you to be safe."

"Awww, alright, fine. I'll do as you wish. Only because you are my best friend." She hugged Mahado as he hugged her back.

~*~End of flashback~*~

I stared at Yami blankly.

"Who is it?" asked Malik as he walked up behind me.

Malik opened his eyes wide. "Marik! It's the Pharaoh!"

The other three ran to the front door.

Yami looked only at me. "Crystal, it's not safe to be here. Please just come with me."

Bakura slipped his hand into mine. "Come on Chris, come back inside."

"No! Don't Crystal! Please!"

"Shut up Pharaoh, you have no authority here." Glared Marik.

"She is my family! Not yours!" yelled Yami.

"Can we all just keep it down?" asked Ryou.

"Get our of here now!" screamed Marik.

"Come on Chris, just come back inside." Said Bakura.

"SHUT UP!" I screamed as everyone fell silent. I pulled a card out of my pocket. "Mahado! Show yourself now!"

A light scattered brightly from the card as a tall figure appeared in front of them. He faced Yami and immediately bowed on one knee.

"My Pharaoh." Mahado spoke in a soft tone. "It is good to see you again."

Yami nodded. "It is good to see you again too Mahado."

Mahado stood up and faced me. "Yes my lady?"

"Should I stay here or should I go with Yami?"

"She should stay here!" yelled Marik.

Mahado glanced over a t the four boys standing to the side and gave a death glare to Bakura. "Tomb robber." Mahado hissed.

"What?" I turned and stared at Bakura.

"Crystal, he is the tomb robber that cursed me into being the Dark Magician."

"And what a pity it was." Sneered Bakura.

A fire awoke inside of me that I never felt before as I glared at Bakura. I felt a fiery hot sensation flowing through my body as I raised my hand in front of me towards Bakura. "You! You are the one who killed Mahado!" A bright red beam shot from my hand smashing into Bakura's chest and sent him flying backwards into the glass cabinet and into the wall.

"Bakura!" shrieked Ryou as he ran to his fallen yami.

Malik and Marik stepped away and Mahado closed his eyes.

"You killed him!" I heard Ryou scream as tears ran down his face. "You killed Bakura!"

Yami reached out and grabbed my wrist. I turned and pulled out of his grasp and shoved him aside. I ran down the steps and out of their sight.

I ran down into an alley way as rain pounded down from the sky. I came to a dead end and fell onto my knees as salty warm tears streamed from my eyes.

"I killed him! He can't die! I hate myself so much!" I cried out breaking into more sobs. The wind shifted slightly as a flash of lightning lit up the dark alley way for a split second. I say there crying as I heard faint footsteps and foul language approaching me.

"Well looky here boys. A poor pathetic soul that has a death wish."

I looked up to see about six guys staring down at me with evil gleaming in their eyes.

One man with gray eyes and purple hair grabbed a handful of my hair and pulled me to my feet. He then pushed me roughly against the cold wet wall behind me. Lightning flashed as the man pulled out a dagger smirking at me with dangerous eyes. He took the dagger and stabbed me in the left arm pushing it in deeper. I yelled out with pain as blood started seeping down my arm.

"You're ours." Grinned the sick man as the others encircled around me and started to beat the life out of me. I felt another stab in my shoulder and slits of wounds on my legs as I heard a cracking sound coming from the arm that was first stabbed. I felt someone punch me in the gut as I screamed out in pain from this punishment. Lightning flashed as thunder roared. I fell to the ground with pain shooting up inside me. I felt someone kick me in the stomach as the guys walked away laughing at the damage they had caused. I felt as rain drops splattered on my face as everything around me grew dark then black.

"I found her in a pool of blood lying in the alley. She was beat pretty badly. She is lucky she survived."

"Perhaps she should be more careful of where she wonders."

"Yes but you can't blame her from running out after what she did to Bakura."

"I'm just glad my brother told us she was missing when he did."

"Did he say how Bakura was doing?"

"Well he's alive. Lucky she didn't kill him."

"Her power is strong. Thank Ra not that strong."

I heard two faint voiced conversing back and forth as I slightly opened my eyes once against having a painful sensation flow through my body. 'What's going on? I can't move and I feel so much pain.' I yelled out as my arm sent pain up through my shoulder.

"She's awake."

I heard footsteps and saw a set of blue eyes staring down at me.

"Are you alright?"

"No, it hurts so much."

I saw golden light surround the room and a tingling feeling. The pain seem to slowly seep away.

"Who are you?"

"I am Isis Ishtar. The sister of your friend, Malik. And this is Shadi, the one who saved you."

"In a matter of speaking." Answered Shadi. "I merely got there after she passed out."

"Where am I?"

"You are at my apartment and will remain here until you gain your strength back." Answered Isis.

I heard a knock at the door as Isis left my side to answer it as Shadi vanished from sight.

"Yes, please come in."

I heard footsteps as I looked up I saw Bakura staring down over me.
