Characters (and explanations) introduced in this chapter-

No new characters this chapter…next one should be the last new group

Previously:

She sighed and shook her head, "You are crazy. Fine, I'll go talk to her." She walked back to the girl's room."Um, Mai?" she asked quietly. The blonde looked up, "Hmm?"Tea laughed nervously, "Um, I know you wanted to be alone, but I have something important to tell you." Tristan showed up behind her.

Ch 5: A Good Idea…OR a Big Mistake?

Seto was writing on his scrolls. (A/N I guess that's what the high priest would be doin..if not oh well this is only a fanfic after all/) Someone walked up to him and cleared his throat. He looked up to see Devlin standing in front of his desk. Dartz and Rafert were behind their "Pharaoh" staring at him dangerously.

Seto glared at Devlin, "What do you all want?" Inside he was relieved that they bothering him and not Isis or Mariah.

Devlin ignored him and calmly asked, "Where is she?"

He looked at him in confusion, "Where's who?"

Devlin growled a little, but still remained calm, "Where is your cousin?"

That caught the High Priest's attention, although he didn't show it. Mai's missing? Where could she have gone? "I don't know what you're talking about. You've seen her since we have. Now are you done bothering me or is there more?"

Devlin growled and clenched his fists, "Just let me know if you find out anything." He turned around and talked to Rafert, "You know what to do."

The blond man nodded, "It will be my pleasure." He looked at the priest, "You better hope you find her before we do." Then he and Dartz walked out as well. Seto growled.

A little bit later, Marik came running in, "You know what will happen!"

Seto didn't even look up, "If they find her."

The younger boy looked at his strangely, "You really don't know, do you?"

"Do you think I'd really tell you if I did?"

Malik turned and walked without a word. He looked outside. "Mai." He said quietly.


Mariah was running out in the streets. She had on a dark blue cloak and her hood was pulled up, so no one would recognize her. This is a stupid idea. Where am I even gonna go?


Seto walked into the main room to find Isis meditating. He knew how she didn't like being bothered but this was pretty urgent. She heard him come in and could tell that something was wrong. She listened but didn't move.

"We have a problem." He said quietly.

"So, I see."

"Mariah's gone."

Her eyes snapped open, "What?" She turned to face him. "How did this happen?"

He sighed and leaned on the wall, "I thought maybe you knew."

She got up and walked over to him, "I didn't know anything about this. Does anyone else know?"

"Yeah, unfortunately, everyone seems to."

She sighed, "This is unbelievable. But I have an idea." She turned and walked out.


"What were you thinking!" the normally quiet Isis yelled.

Teana and Tristan just grinned and giggled nervously.

"Well, we just thought it might be a good idea." he said.

"And we didn't tell you because we thought you wouldn't be to happy about. Which you're not, I guess." Teana added.

Isis just continued glaring at them, "Oh course I'm not happy! Do you know what can happen now? What is someone finds out what you did? You know you'll be punished. And what about if they find her?"

Teana sighed, "I know, we messed up up. We just thought we were helping."

The priestess sighed and touched her forehead with her hand, shaking her head, "I can't believe this." Then she turned and looked out the window, "We all better hope they don't find her or her catch her." Wherever you are, don't do something stupid. Please let her find someone that can help.


Yugi had walked away from his grandfather. He just wanted some time alone. He had thought about going to see Jou, but he decided he'd rather be alone.

As he walked through the streets he was thinking. "When I grow up, I'll be just like all this other people. I'll have a booth and sell rugs just like my parents."

Thinking of his parents made him sad. I bet we were all a happy family once. But why won't anyone ever tell him anything? They won't even say how they died. I wish I could just find out one thing. I'd give anything for that. "I just wish there was some way..."

He turned the corner and almost ran into someone. She had violet eyes and blonde hair like him. They stared at each other in surprise. Then she suddenly turned and ran.


A/N: Well whaddya think? Hate it? Like it? Need to know more?

Next time: Next time the last bunch of characters are introduced.(I think)And the marketplace is about to get a little bit more interesting and exciting. Will Isis, Seto, Tea, and Tristan find Mai before someone else does? Or is it too late?
