Disclaimer: I in no way own Yu-gi-oh or any of its components. I do however own Robin and this original plot.

Sorry it took so long guys but now the essay of doom and experiment of evilness has been completed I can go back to writing fan fiction again!

Thursday night/Friday morning

Tristan and Joey had decided to head to Yugi's. Now they stood outside trying to read the note left on the door in the dimming street light.

It read: Gone to Domino hospital. Back next week.

"Do you think Grandpa is ill again?" Tristan asked.

"Well if he is we've better be there to give Yuge some support." Joey replied.

So Joey and Tristan head to the hospital, in the middle of the night.

The receptionist is very firm with them that no they couldn't see their friend. They would have to wait for the regular visiting times.

The boys shared a glance. There was no way they were leaving until they got to see Yugi.

"Okay Tristan, you distract the nurse while I sneak past."

"What why me? Can't you distract the nurse?"

"I'm better at finding my way around hospitals is why. It's not like you have been in many."

"Fine."

Luckily their plotting wasn't needed, as a convenient emergency happened to summon the nurse away from her desk and allowing the two boys to sneak past.

They combed the hospital looking for Yugi. Who they found was Téa.

"Joey, Tristan. You're here! What took you so long?"

"We didn't know anything was wrong until we went to Yugi's place." Tristan replied.

Téa paled, "So you don't know?"

"Téa tell us now. What is wrong? Is Yugi's Grandpa sick?"

"No, not him. Yugi is…" she tailed off, and stared at her feet.

"What's wrong with Yugi? He was fine yesterday."

"He… he won't wake up. He collapsed this morning, and he won't wake up, and the puzzle is missing and the doctors… the doctors don't know what's wrong, he seems fine but he won't wake up."

----------------------------------------------------------

The two puzzles glittered, seeming to shine with their own light. The first was golden and assembled with pieces, resembling the pyramids of Egypt, while the second puzzle was a small silver ball that could fit it the palm of your hand that was solved much like a rubric cube.

The Witch was watching, she wanted her wand back, she wanted the world to make sense once again, she wanted her sisters to be normal again, or at least as normal as spirits could ever be.

The belt seemed strangest of the items, with the Millennium items each had their own symbolic meanings, but the Lunar items were different.

The shadows had been controlled; restrained with the M. items at least until they had been used to seal away the shadows. The M. items were tools, they were not originally meant to seal away the magic.

The Lunar items were created only a few years after the shadows had been sealed away. The Solar and Celestial items had been created at the same time. They were designed to correct the balance that had been destroyed when the Shadows were sealed away.

The world had no longer been a safe place for magic. The magic went away, apart from the Earth magic, and that was weakened, it was barely used for anything now apart from some weak healing and protection spells.

The Witch could no longer remember those things that had haunted her for all the years she had been bond to the wand, but her newfound freedom tasted bitter.

She could recognise a spell held her and her sisters and now this fourth spirit called Yami, but breaking it was beyond her. When the moon rose she was trapped in an evil darkness where her dark impulses took form and action, and when it set her own mind betrayed her. "I'm mad" she whispered to herself.

But still she tried as she had for years, calling to her wand. It was reaching the edge slowly, bit by bit. She would not do this every night, and when she forgot for more than a week the wand moved back towards the centre, the spell binding her did not hold her wand as hard but it still did not easily let go.

"So close now," She whispered as the wand touched the edge of the circle and rolled eagerly now over the line. It flew into her hand, causing a slight electric shock as her magic recharged fully for the first time in years. She wanted to shout and sing with joy, she felt so alive!

Maybe the plan was going to work after all.
