Chapter 15: Publicity is publicity

Lily had been plotting for more then a day now…and still had no good scheme to overthrow Naraku and kill Sakura and her pathetic friends. Unknowingly to her Naraku was watching her very closely and noting all of her moves to kill him. 'Hmm…now if I take out Kanna would he be able to see me? That is the main focus here…very, very troubling situation, on one hand I could kill Kanna and send her to hell faster then Naraku could say 'You've failed.' But on the other hand if he were watching me he would stop me with one of his barriers and punish me before I killed his incarnation. Somehow… just somehow there has to be a way to get to him.' Lily was flustered at what to do. "Hades be damned!" She yelled in frustration. 'He has a perfect defense against any attack that I may give him.' Lily gritted her teeth, 'I must not worry about Naraku now, his demise will come soon enough. Now I must focus on my real target…and the reason that I called Naraku here in the first place…to kill the demon spawn before she becomes too out of hand. Her little friends can be casualties along the way, after all as this mortal saying goes, 'one cannot make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.' But if that is true then if I break too many eggs then Naraku would kill me, take my power and defeat the demon-spawn himself while I rule the underworld with all of the demons taunting me and mocking me for my small slip up.'

While Lily was thinking of possible plans to kill Sakura Naraku was watching her intently through Kanna's mirror. He chuckled a bit, "Lily. Have you figured out that you can never beat me and that you only have a hollow future ahead of you?"

"Naraku. Forgive my intrusion but one of the demons has just spotted Lily flying away from the castle. Should I follow her?" Kagura asked.

"No need. I believe that Kanna's mirror will be enough. After all we don't want her to suspect too much do we?"

Kagura looked confused, "What is there to suspect Naraku? Lily probably has already figured out that you watch her non-stop. Granted she is stupid but she is not completely brain dead."

"You really don't like her do you Kagura?"

"My honest opinion. No. She is a waste of all of our times. She doesn't even deserve the air she breathes."

Naraku laughed at her comment, "That may be true Kagura but…we need her power to kill Inuyasha. So no matter how annoying or 'brain dead' as you put is she may be we must learn to deal with it. You are dismissed but must not follow her. Unless you want to die." Naraku held his palm out and a human heart appeared and Kagura backed away from it.

"N-no I will not follow her Naraku." The heart disappeared and Kagura gave a sigh of relief.

"Good. Then let us watch what Lily is doing dressed up a mortal."

'Lily as a mortal…? What is she planning?'

Lily was walking through the streets of Cairo dressed in black jeans and a black T-shirt. Most people who passed her gave her weird looks but Lily just shrugged them off and let misfortune befall them. 'Stupid mortals.' Lily laughed as another person was 'dealt with' 'This is very irritating. I cannot seem to find those blasted cards!'

"Yo. Goth girl. Come here, I got's somethin' ta show ya." A strange man appeared beside Lily who was currently deciding weather to kill him now or later. "I got's some pretty rare cards here. Ya want 'em?"

Lily's face brightened, "Are they strong?" She asked putting on a fake innocent voice.

"Stronger then ya could imagine girly." He smiled at her showing his rotted teeth. "Come with me…" He started to walk toward the dark alley. It was only ten minutes later that they came to a small secluded run down old house that Lily had guessed was where this mortal lived.

'This place is going to be the death of him…damn. That's my job to do. Stupid evil death trap house…doing my job for me.' Lily thought sulkily in her head. Lily didn't realize that the man had stopped so she crashed into him bringing them both down to the floor.

A girl came bursting into the room, "Grandpa! What are you doing?" The girl asked in a scolding tone. "I thought I told you not to waste our money like that…"

"I'm not! I was gettin' da cards so dat's I could sell 'em to dis lovely lady." The old man said giving Lily a small wink making her shudder.

'What an odd mortal. Mental note: Let house kill the old man.' "Um…so where are the cards?" Lily asked regaining her innocent voice.

"Right I'll go an' get 'em."

"Sorry about my grandpa. In his old age he has turned into somewhat of a…pervert." The girl helped Lily up off the floor. "Oh and by the way my name is Nefert. So how many cards are you going to buy?"

"Enough to make a deck." Nefert's eyes went big, "Unless you don't have that many cards…"

"Of course we do!" She exclaimed, "Grandpa bring out ALL the cards she want's a whole deck!" Nefert called out excitedly to her grandpa who was in the back of the house getting out the box of cards.

Lily's demon senses picked up what the old man was saying in perfect Arabic unlike when he was talking like some sort of Egyptian Mafia member, "Good lord, that girl want's to buy a whole deck! Hmm this gives me an idea. If she is fairly new to the game then I can overcharge the price of the cards and get some extra cash…" The old man chuckled, "I got's da cards ya are lookin' fer little missy." He said throwing his voice yet again.

'Who does he think he's fooling with that fake voice?' Lily thought to herself suppressing the urge to seriously hurt this annoying mortal. "So what cards can I get?" Lily put on her best innocent look.

"How about these five?" Nefert said holding up the five pieces of Exodia. "These five put together are unstoppable. Oh and these to and these this one is really good too…" Nefert was pulling out cards so fast that Lily didn't have time to even look at how powerful they were. But for some reason she felt like she should at least let the little girl live. But the old perverted guy would not be so lucky. "…And this should be enough to make a really strong deck."

"Hmm…" She looked through them all and soon nodded in approval, "Alright I'll take them how much will it come to Nefert?"

"About 500 dollars." The old man looked like he was about to blow up.

"Nefert are ya feelin' OK? 'Cause these cards are worth over 1000 dollars. An' dat's sellen' em' cheap too." But by the time he had finished talking Nefert had already taken her money and showed her out the door.

"Come back soon…um…what's your name?" Nefert asked with a quizzical look on her face.

"…Amy."

"'Kay come back soon Amy." Nefert smiled and waved her good bye.

In the feudal era Karla, Rin, Sesshomaru, Jaken and Ah-Un were on their way to where ever Sesshomaru was headed. Karla was humming a little tune that was driving Jaken insane, Rin was sleeping in Karla's arms (Aww) and Jaken was well…being Jaken, walking up beside Sesshomaru, and Sesshomaru he was remaining silent leading the way. Rin yawned and woke up to see Karla's smiling face looking down on her. "Have a good nap Rin?" Rin nodded, "I think were almost there." Again Rin nodded. The scenery was had no grass and it appeared that they were going up a very big hill. The only trees around were dead and Karla had given up on seeing any wild life up there. "So uh Jaken do you um know where were uh going now?"

"Yes to the sword smith called Totosai. He is the best there is…but he is not to fond of Lord Sesshomaru."

"Why is that Jaken?"

"Well originally Lord Sesshomaru went to see if he could make a sword stronger then the Tetsusaiga (A/N 1) but Totosai, being the stubborn old coot he is, said no. So they just haven't been too close, in fact they both resent each other." Jaken told her in an all-knowing voice.

"Uh…huh…then 'why' are we going to see him?"

"Because those arrows and that bow you carry around aren't fitting for one such as yourself."

"Meaning…?" Karla was a little bit flabbergasted.

"Well Lord Sesshomaru just thought that if you were going to be traveling around with him you could at least defend yourself properly. Because that weapon you carry around is well…please don't kill me for saying this…repulsive." Karla had flames in her eyes and she looked like she was about to kill whoever was in her way.

"He said WHAT?" Karla yelled at Jaken.

"Well Karla think of it this way, Lord Sesshomaru is the lord of the Western demons. Your arrows kill demons now what type of demon lord would keep around a human who could kill most of his army with arrows?" Jaken said very fast praying that he didn't get on the receiving end of Karla's anger. With only Rin as company and Jaken as a 'peeping toad' Karla had changed and it had only been four days since she had left Egypt and traveled through time and met Rin. Before she came she would go along with anything anyone said and was a 'wall flower' but now she stood up and voiced her opinions and made sure that everyone heard them. She was basically a newer version of Juliet from 'Romeo and Juliet' just with powers and a bow and arrows and well…friends. 'Friends that I left behind…' Karla thought sadly to herself. 'I'm going to need some of those antidepressants if I keep thinking like that.'

"Were here." Sesshomaru said plainly. As they walked towards the entrance of what Karla thought was where the Totosai man lived a large fireball came towards them and Karla picked up Rin and jumped out of the way. "Totosai. I have no time for your pathetic games."

"Go away Sesshomaru. I will not make you a sword stronger then the Tetsusaiga. Now leave." A rude voice called to him from inside of the cave.

"Well that was a really friendly welcome." Karla muttered sarcastically setting Rin down on the ground. "Now who in the seven hells just threw that at us?" Karla asked taking her bow and arrows out.

Sesshomaru put a hand in front of her, "That won't be necessary. Old man I have no need for you to make me a sword. But she does." Sesshomaru motioned to Karla.

Soon an old man came out of the cave looking skeptical of the two, "Who is this 'she' that you said?" He first looked at Rin then shook his head. "You want a little girl to fight for you know? That is out of the question…" Totosai looked over to Sesshomaru and soon realized that he did not mean Rin but Karla. "Oh! So you want me to make you a sword girl?"

"I have a name so use it." Karla said peeved that this guy could just attack them and then expect them not to attack him themselves.

"And what is your name?" "Karla." "Hmm…Now this may be tricky. I can sense a strong power in you but I can think of no sword to give you…"

Karla interrupted him with seething anger, "Look. You attack us and almost killed Rin and I, so the least you could do is make me a sword for satin's sake."

Totosai pretended to clean out his ears, "Huh? What? Do I hear a please?" Karla shot one of her arrows and it narrowly missed Totosai but it did destroy some of his cave. Totosai thought for a moment, "I'll make you a very strong purification sword."

"A Say what now?" Karla looked really confused.

"This sword will allow you to use it as a normal sword but when it is confronted with demons it shall be as strong as your arrows, which is pretty freaking strong considering that I was almost hit with one." Karla nodded. "It will be done in…two days."

"If it is not done by the time we get back you will die." Sesshomaru's cold voice made Karla shiver but not noticeably. "Let's go." Sesshomaru started to walk down the hill with Jaken at his heel.

"Keep the arrow it'll remind you not to piss me off." Karla stated as she walked down the hill toward the others.

"Well this is interesting. Sesshomaru is having two humans traveling with him. How odd…" Totosai said to himself.

"Master Jaken! Master Jaken! Come play with us!" Rin said excitedly. She soon started to pull him over to where Karla was standing.

"Well this IS a first. A demon getting bossed around by a human." Karla chuckled.

"Oh shut up girl. I could kill you faster then you could say…" Karla picked up her arrow and threw it at him with amazing strength. As it moved towards Jaken a familiar pink light surrounded it. Jaken ducked just in time for the arrow sped on and knocked over the tree that was directly behind him. "…So Rin what would you like to play?" Jaken said nervously as he watched Karla take her arrow out of the third tree down from where the other two had fallen.

"Hide and seek!" Rin exclaimed excitedly and Jaken just gave a loud sigh. "Me and Karla hide you seek."

Jaken closed his eyes and started counting to ten. "Rin come on I have the perfect spot." Karla picked up Rin and jumped up into a nearby tree, and with Karla's special ability turned invisible.

Jaken gave another loud sigh, "…Ten. Ready or not here I come." It was almost three hours later that Jaken finally gave up and Karla uncloaked them and jumped down meeting a very perturbed Jaken. "That is completely not fair Karla! Turning invisible. How could anyone see you?" Jaken scolded her. Karla rolled her eyes and was about to say something when Sesshomaru cut in.

"I could see her. Only a fool couldn't." Sesshomaru looked over to them with his cold amber eyes.

"And what's that supposed to mean? That my powers are useless…?" Karla glared at him. If she had learned anything from sharing a room with Seto Kaiba was his glares.

"Yes." Was his only response.

Karla growled at him, "Look. All I see from you is your cold eyes and your emotionless talk…so at the beginning I thought 'OK he's just like Kaiba. No big deal.' So I ignored it. But now you go insulting my powers…? It's not like YOU could do any better mister 'I'm-so-great' because unlike you I'm not a self centered arrogant emotionless jerk." Karla used her hands to get across her point as she spoke.

"Are you finished blabbering human?" Karla looked at him like he had just grown a second head. He took Karla's silence as a yes and continued on, "Good. Your powers may be impressive, but they would be nothing were you try to defeat Naraku, and I highly doubt that your friends are any stronger then yourself."

"So you're saying that you'll help me get stronger…?" Karla asked him.

"Are you ready then." Sesshomaru stated it more then his asked it because he didn't want to wait for her answer. All he did was get up and draw his sword and charge toward her head on.

Rei and Kaiba ate in silence except for the sound of Kaiba typing away at his laptop. Rei had tried about seven times to start a conversation but Kaiba just grunted in response so trying to talk to him was pointless as Rei soon discovered. She soon started to whistle an annoying tune so that she could at least have some kind of communication with the stone faced boy sitting across from her. "Will you stop that I'm trying to work."

"Hmm?" Rei pretended that she just heard him, "Oh? You're talking to me? Well I do believe I deserve a prize of some sort."

"Humph."

"Oh Kaiba humor is wasted on people like you. You know that?" Kaiba pretended that he didn't hear her and started to type away again. "You are an ass of the highest caliber. HEY! Are you listening to me you self-centered jerk?" Rei asked him. Sighing, very aggravated by now, she quickly thought of a way to annoy him to the utmost of her human powers. "So Kaibaboi…"

Kaiba's head perked up at Rei's singsong voice and extension of his name, "What did you just call me?" Kaiba was seething now and his computer was off signaling that she had his full attention, which was not a good thing.

"I called you Kaibaboi. Is that so bad…?" Rei asked in an innocent tone.

"If you call me that once more not only will I crush you with the entire weight of Kaiba Corp. but also with my two fists. So watch it Rei for I am not in the mood for your childish antics." Kaiba had venom dripping from his voice.

"Well at least I have your attention now." Rei said happily obviously not effected by Kaiba's threats to her health among other things.

"You have my full undivided attention. Now speak." Kaiba sat down with a huff staring intently at her probably thinking of some way to get to her other then his hollow threats.

"So…how are you?" Kaiba nearly fell off of his chair when she said those words.

"That is what you were bugging me about?" Rei nodded, "Well I'm feeling very, very annoyed and pissed off that you made me lose some time in my schedule." Kaiba glared at her when he noticed her doing hand motions that were mimicking his own. "I think that you are more immature then Yugi and the mutt put together."

(-.-) "Am not." Rei matched his glare, "Look if you want to take this outside then be my guest just don't cry when I beat your sorry ass." Kaiba looked at her astonished. "What? Is there something on my face?"

"No. It's just that…well no one has really spoken to me like that in a long time."

Rei huffed, "Well when your around me you had better get used to it rich boy." Rei saw the waiter come over to their seat, "Oh and by the way could you pay for breakfast?" Rei patted her pants, "'Cause I have no money what's so ever."

Kaiba looked at her dumbfounded, "You mean to say that you came down here to annoy me AND get a free meal?"

"Well I didn't come down here to annoy you but I DID come down here to get a free meal." Rei smiled at him.

"Miss is your date paying?" The waiter asked politely.

Rei, ignoring the 'date' part answered before Kaiba could, "Yes. Yes he is." Kaiba looked like he was about to kill her after the waiter left with Kaiba's credit card Rei grinned sheepishly, "Well look at the bright side…"

"Which is…?" Kaiba rudely interrupted her.

"At least I don't eat like the mutt." Rei continued seemingly unfazed by Kaiba's rudeness.

He smirked, "True but I wouldn't hold you to that statement." Kaiba took back his card and walked out of the restaurant still smirking.

Rei sat there for a moment until she caught on, "HEY!" She ran after him ignoring the odd glances that people gave her.

Sakura had almost won all of their money but Croquet was starting to make a comeback. Pegasus had lost all of the money that he had brought with him and was now betting his belongings, getting questionable looks from both Kemo and Croquet. "And that's all she wrote." Sakura said grinning broadly as she collected the money and (thanks to Pegasus) 'Funny Bunny' comics.

"How do you always manage to win in Black Jack?" Croquet asked.

"Dunno. I guess I just have some pretty good luck." Sakura said with a shrug of her shoulders. She shuffled the cards, "Last chance to win back it all. Who's in?" Kemo and Croquet looked at each other and left the room not wanting to lose any more money then they already have. Because they, unlike Pegasus, didn't bet it all so they still had a bit of cash left over from Sakura's lucky winning streak. Sakura gave him a questioning look. Of course he rose to the challenge. "Sweet."

"But there is something I'd like to add to this."

"What?"

He grinned, "If I win once. Just once I get my stuff and money back."

"Hmm…and if I win just once then what do I get?" Sakura asked curiously.

Pegasus thought long and hard about this one he had lost it all and was about to win it back but he needed to think of a good bribe so that she would play him one last round. "Hmm…how about…a full week of not annoying you?"

"…And…?" Sakura obviously wanted more then that considering how much money there was and other things to be collected.

"And…um…my 'Toon Word' card. Along with any other card you see fit. Satisfied?" Pegasus questioned her.

"Yes, now let us begin." His face up card was the ace of spades while her face up card was the three of hearts. The other card she had was a five of clubs giving her a grand total of eight. Pegasus on the other hand his other card was the nine of diamonds giving him a total of twenty. "Hit or stand?" Sakura asked coolly not wanting him to know how bad her hand actually was.

"Stand." He said with a completely blank face.

'Hmm…I was wondering when he would become serious in this game now I need some pretty awesome cards to win this. Now let's see he has an ace face up so most likely he has a king, queen, jack or ten face down to win the game for him. Or he could be bluffing and trying to make me get a bust…oh crap.' "I'll hit." Sakura picked up another card, it was the eight of spades. 'If I hit again and get a card higher then five I'll bust and lose the game…'

"How about we make this more interesting Sakura-girl."

"How so?" Sakura asked snapping out of her slight stupor.

"How about the looser also has to do whatever the other person say's for a whole week." Pegasus looked thoughtful for a moment before adding, "Unless you are too scared for this simple bet…"

Letting her slight ego get the better of her she responded immediately with a 'yes' "I'll stand." She showed her cards.

He chuckled a little bit, "I guess I get all of my stuff back…and I get a new helper." He smiled broadly flipping his other card.

"Damn…" She muttered under her breath. "I lost."

"It would seem so Sakura-girl. Hmm…now what to do first…" Sakura looked as if she was about to faint but Pegasus just ignored it. "What to do, what to do." Pegasus was walking around Sakura as if sizing her up. Sakura was just contemplating her loss. "Still thinking about it?" He asked her setting his hands on her shoulders and whispering into her ear. She visibly jumped at the sound of his voice.

"Holy crap. If you ever scare me like that again then I will hurt you." Sakura said to him.

"That is after this week has ended. Because you agreed to this little…bet. So now I get to boss you around for a whole week." He grinned like a child as Sakura on the other hand just gave a loud groan in annoyance.

"Great."

Yami had gotten back from the pyramid with a very sore jaw thanks to Sakura. But on the other hand he had scared Inuyasha with his newfound spirit and also very surprised looks from Anna, Tea, and Yugi when his Ka spoke to them. "OK, OK let me get this straight you left here at what…like seven o'clock? Got beat up by Sakura, knocked out and got your Ka from over 5,000 years ago?" Anna asked still puzzled that his Ka was STILL living in his tomb. (Now that's not a sentence you hear every day.)

"Um ya basically." Yami said with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Well I still don't get it." Anna said, Tea and Yugi nodding their heads in agreement.

"Do you want me to explain it in greater detail?" Yami asked them.

"Uh huh." Yugi said nodding his head.

"Alright…"

FIVE HOURS LATER

"…Get it?" He asked.

Shifty eyed looks came from all three of them, "…Uh…sure…" Tea said unsure of that answer it was all just starting to make her head spin. "Well I'm going out to eat. You guys want to come?" Tea asked while getting her wallet and starting towards the door.

"Only if Yami is buying." Anna said, "I paid for a meal about a week ago. So I'm not paying this time."

"And I paid last time." Yugi stated.

"Wha-?" Yami started but got cut off by Tea.

"Well it's three to one Yami. Looks like your paying today." Tea said happily as she put away her wallet. 'He looks kinda cute all flabbergasted like that.' She thought. A hand waved in front of her face snapping her out of her thoughts. "Yeah?"

"Are you OK Tea?" Yami asked her. "You look a little hot."

"Oh I'm fine. I just…put a little too much blush on." Tea lied.

"Alright." 'Why does she feel that she has to lie around me?' Yami thought solemnly to himself.

"…Well then they're waiting for us so…let's go…" Tea said almost for certain that Yami did not believe her fast lie and was probably wanting her to tell him the truth. "Yami…" She called out to him just as he was about to open the door.

He turned to her with confusion written all over his face. "Yes?"

"I…" 'Say it you coward! Say you love him!' (This may be confusing to some people.)
But what if he rejects me?
Take a leap of faith then. Nothing is worse then having this feeling locked up inside of you.

But-

No 'buts' about it say it and get it over with now!

…Alright.' "I…l-l-love y-…" Yami looked astonished and his eyes were hoping that she would continue, "Yellow." She sighed. She still could not tell him how she felt.

Yami looked disappointed, "…Hmm. Let's go. They are waiting for us."

'ARGH! I STILL couldn't tell him! What a fool I am! Now he must think I am some kind of yellow loving freak. Great.' Tea thought. (Um ya I'm just gonna cut this one short because It's going nowhere.)

Kari and Kate were roaming the streets of Cairo looking for something interesting to do instead of watching Tristin and Joey fight almost none stop. They decided to have a little 'Girl's Day Out'. Which to Joey and Tristin meant to follow and hopefully not get caught. "Are they still there?" Kari asked.

"Sadly." Kate sighed, "Who do they think they are fooling?"

"Um…I think us." Kari pointed to where they were standing.

"What? Where did they go?"

"I dunno. Maybe they went to get some food. Anyway…time for shopping!" Kari said enthusiastically.

"Where?" Kate looked around and noticed that there was not a single mall in eye view.

"Duh! Over there." Kari ran towards an opening in people and Kate soon found herself face to face with one of the biggest malls she had ever seen. "Well come on. I'll bet you anything that they are in there already, and are pigging out." More then 3 hours later Kate and Kari finally collapsed onto a chair in the food court.

"I never knew that this mall had so many freaking huge stores!" Kate said as she put down her six bags each from different stores.

"Tell me about it. I probably just maxed out my credit cards!" Kari exclaimed. "And the entire food court is probably bigger then five of the stores we went too!"

"Uh huh. So where are we eating?" Kate asked as a loud growl was heard from her stomach.

"How about that place over there? It looks good. Maybe it'll taste good too…" Kari started but Kate quickly decided against it.

"Nuh uh. I ain't eating anywhere besides the logo's I know. Like McDonalds (I don't own it.) for instance." Kate said but quickly realized that Kari was already in line for her choice of food. Kate just sighed and got her food and waited until Kari came back from the washroom for the food was not to her liking. "Thought so. Here's a burger. And a lesson, always listen to me and go to a place you know serves eatable food."

"OK, OK so I was wrong and you were right. Now give me a burger!" Kari grabbed a burger and wolfed it down. Soon two guys that looked like they were right out of some rap-metal concert.

"Hey you're in our spot." One of them stated rudely.

"And for that whatever is on or around OUR table we get to keep." The second guy grabbed Kari's drink and chugged it down while the other one grabbed Kate's bags.

"HEY! Who do you think you are?" Kate asked outraged.

"We are the scorpions best fighting gang around. I'm the leader Eric. This guy over here is Mark, he's David, weirdo over there is Tom, and the muscle guy over there is Bob but we call him 'The Eliminator.' (Lol my old desk in Math class said that. Actually I put it there but who really cares?) And who are you?" The first guy said.

"Well I'm Kate. And I can kick your ass."

"And I'm Kari, and if you really ARE fighters then you know who I am."

The one he called Tom whispered to him something that was almost inaudible; "She's Kari!"

"Well I knew that you pin head."

"No…Kari from Japan."

Eric's eyes went big, "How can you be sure?"

"The tattoo on her left arm." Eric looked at her right arm. "No, no, no. HER left. Not yours."

It took him a minute to actually figure out if it was his right of his left but his eyes soon went wider, "Holy sh-"

"Don't curse." Tom said in a scolding tone.

While they were talking over if she WAS the Kari Tom was talking about Kari and Kate were planning. "…Ya know I think that they know who you are Kari." Kate said to her.

"Mmhmm I am now infamous all around the world. I feel SO loved." Kari said almost sarcastically. "Do they think that we can't hear them?"

"Wouldn't put it past 'em." Kate said pointing her thumb towards them.

"We challenge you to a fight to see if you are who you say you are!" Eric stated aloud. Receiving loud groans from his entire group.

Kari looked skeptical, "Uh…I don't know…I mean…I don't want to-" Eric cut her off.

"Scared are we? Well the Kari that I've heard about would have never backed away from a challenge like you just had. Let's just take their stuff and go." Eric told his group. They each grabbed one or two bags and started to leave. With amazing agility Kari jumped over their heads and landed right in front of them. "Move!" Kari shook her head and charged towards him with her fist extended almost dying to make contact with Eric's face. He just snapped his fingers and Bob stood in front of him ready to take the blow. Kari punched him and he caught her fist in his enormous hands while twisting it. Bob threw her into a near by wall, Kari was blinded by fury and did not know that her eyes became pitch black. Kate gasped, as she knew fully what was going on, Kari had lost control of her powers and was now trapped until this fight was over.

"Kate what's going on here?" Joey asked as he, Tristin, Marik and Malik came running up.

"Well those idiots pissed Kari off and now she's lost control of her powers." Kate thought of something, "How did you know that we were here?"

"Uh-" Tristin started but Malik cut him off.

"Where ever there is destruction and chaos with fist fights Kari is bound to be there. It was all around the mall that the scorpions were here and that they found someone to push around and fight. So we came to investigate on who it was. It was only a coincidence that you two were here." Malik took in a big breath mainly because he said that all in one breath. "So now we can all kick some scorpion ass." He didn't wait for them to answer he just charged toward the big guy and kicked him the back. Marik called fourth the Shadow Realm so that no one besides them would know what they were doing.

"What in the…?" Mark asked fighting off Joey.

"Welcome to da Shadow Realm." Joey swung his leg knocking Mark to the ground with a loud thump. Tristin was already finished with his person and just kicked him for good measure. Malik and Marik were having a little bit of trouble with Bob, who was just holding them by their throats letting them dangle from the air. Joey and Tristin nodded to each other and charged Bob and double kicked him in the back making him let go of Marik and Malik. Once on the floor the swung both their legs and let Bob crash down to the floor, and would have probably made it shake if they were not in the Shadow Realm. Kate was only toying with David and when she had, had enough fun the faked a kick and punched him square in the nose sending him a good five or so meters away from her. Lastly Kari had Eric hanging upside down from her dark magic and it looked as though Eric had passed out from lack of air. Malik creeped around her and bashed her on the head with his millenium rod.

After getting odd looks from Kate, Joey, and Tristin he just smiled sheepishly and say, "Well I was going to do it eventually!" The rest of them just rolled their eyes and made Marik exit the Shadow Realm for them. Once out they were surrounded by tons of people, most of which were reporters.

"Can we get an interview?"

"What are your Names?"

"How old are you?"

"Are you a new gang to Cairo and should Egypt be fearing you?"

"Yes you should all be fearing me! I shall take over ALL OF EGYPT AND BECOME PHARAOH! MUAHAHA!" Joey, Tristin, Kate and Marik all looked at Malik who had just said, or more accurately yelled that aloud.

"He has some…issues." Marik said putting his hand over his Yami's mouth. 'Shut up Malik! Do you want to go to an insane asylum?' Marik asked Malik through the mind link.

'Depends. Do they have candy?' Marik sweat-dropped.

'How about this. If you shut up we can make Mr. Chin use his credit card and get you some candy. But for now just be quiet and don't say anything stupid!'

'Alright already! Just take your hand off of my mouth. And don't say that I have issues. I just want to rule all of Egypt and become Pharaoh. Is that so bad?' Malik asked.

'Honestly. Yes.' Marik answered taking his hand off of Malik's mouth. "Now let's get the hell out of here!" He bolted off towards exit and when the other four figured out what he was doing the raced after him with Malik having a small handicap, carrying Kari on his shoulder. "Are they following us?" Marik asked not daring to look over his shoulder.

Joey, being Joey, he looked over his shoulder and noticed a mob of reporters running after them, "I think that they are. LOOK!" The rest of the group looked behind them to see what he was exclaiming about.

"Do you need a ride?" A random taxi driver asked in Arabic.

"Yes. Yes we do." Marik turned to everyone else and said in Japanese, "Get in or get trampled by reporters!" The other four plus the unconscious Kari jumped into the cab and the driver hurried off ignoring the speed limits because Malik had control of his mind. "That should do. I think we lost them. You can release the guys mind now Malik." Malik looked disappointed but soon obliged. "Well that was fun wasn't it?" This statement received him several bumps on the head. "I was kidding! I was kidding! You guys can't take a joke? Hmm I wonder if we'll end up on the news? OW! OW! HEY! NOOOOOOOO! DEAR GOD NO! STOP BEATING ME UP!" Marik cried out from the back of the taxi. The screams could be heard from far, far away.

A/N 1: I changed the spelling of Tetsiga to Tetsusaiga. So the second one is the proper spelling…I think

Well that was um…an interesting chapter. And it was eight (and a sentence or five into the ninth page) pages and 6,332 words. And people I REALLY do apologize for all of my late updates but writers block SUCKS! Also please R and R.
