Earlier that night: After Kaiba sent Mokuba to bed, he took Ginny to the room she was going to be sleeping in. He also gave her one of his spare shirts for her to sleep in.

"Umm... thanks for letting me stay here for the night." Ginny said.

"Whatever. Just don't count on it happening again." Kaiba got up to leave, but his wounds from earlier started to cause him pain.

"Here let me help you." she went over just to have him reject her.

"I don't need your help. I can walk to my own bedroom."

"Why can't you just let someone help you sometimes!"

"I got to where I am today without help from anyone. And I'm not going to start now!"

"Answer me this. Why did you protect me from those freak things back in the alley. Because I could have handled myself."

He just looked at her, and walked away. Ginny layed down to go to sleep. "You're definitly not the Seto I knew when we were younger."

Before Kaiba went to sleep, he was thinking about what Ginny asked him a few minutes ago. He decided that it was because he didn't feel like watching her get attacked by the mummies.

"That is so full of shit."

"Huh... Who said that?" Kaiba asked.

"I did. You know the little voice inside your head that tells you what to do."

"Okay, if you're so smart, then why did I do it?"

"Of course I'm smart. Because I'm you." Kaiba's concious said. "She used to be your best friend. It's natural for you to want to pretect her because you like her."

"I do not like Ginny! Besides I'm too busy for a girlfriend. So why don't you shut up." Then Kaiba went to sleep.

The next morning: When Yugi woke up, Yami told him about the figure from last night.

"What do you..." But before Yugi could finish, Cassandra came into the room.

"Sorry about just walking in like thise, but I have something important to tell you guys." She told them. "Kira told me that some kind of shadowy figure came to her last night. He said that he was the one who sent Kira the flashbacks of her past. The he told her that we'll find out who he was in good time. Plus, I just saw the most recent flashaback. And it's very interesting."

"What is it about?" Yami asked.

"You asking kira to marry you." Cassandra blurted.

"What!" Both guys said in unison.

"Oops! I don't think I was supposed to tell you that. Umm... Just forget what I said." Before Yami could ask her anything, Cassandra ran out of the room.

"What was that all about?" Yugi asked.

"I don't know." Then the two went downstairs.

Everyone was eating breakfast. "So what are we going to do today?" Joey asked.

"Well I doubt that the mummies will come out during the day." Tea told them

"Maybe we could tell Marik what we kow. Then see what he has to say." Cassandra suggested, trying to avoid Yami's glances.

"Why did you say something to Yami about that." Kira mentally asked her "You know that I didn't want to tell him yet."

"I know and I'm sorry."

After breakfast, Cassandra called Marik, and he told them to come over. When they got there, they told Marik and Alana about how the mummies attacked Kaiba. Then, Yami Kira told Marik about the shadowy figure from last night.

"I think that the mummies and this shadow figure are related somehow." Tristan said.

"You're most likely correct." Marik told him. "My bet is that this figure is the mummies leader. But we can't be too sure. We should go out tonight and see if we can find any of the mummies."

Later that night, they all met up at the park. Marik suggested that they broke into groups to cover more ground. Joey, Tea, Tristan, and Duke went in one group. Then Marik, Cassandra, Yami, and Yugi went together.

"Now everyone meet back here at 11 o'clock." Marik told them.

Joey and his group had been walking for almost 2 hours. Since they didn't find anything, they decided to go back and see if the others had better luck. Joey saw a hot-dog stand and wanted to get something to eat. He told the others that he would catch up. When he was walking to catch up with the others, Joey heard some sort of groaning. He turned around and saw four mummies walking toward him. "You freaky corpses don't scare me!"

Before he knew it, there was a whole group of them. "Now I kinda know how Rich Boy felt." Joey thought. They closed in and he was knocked down to the ground. Joey thought he was done for until he heard the sound of a motorcycle.

Someone was driving a bike around the mummies. The tried to attack, but the bike was too fast for them. Not the mention the long chain the biker had to help fight the mummies. The mummies decided to leave out of fear. The bike stoped and the person got off. Joey, who was on the ground, was now trying to get up. His head hurt from when he as knocked down.

"You know hun, I don't think it's wise to gbe out here all by yourself. Unless you want me to save you again." Joey looked up to see that the voice belinged to none other than Mai Valentine.
