Moonclaw: Hello everyone! Thanks to strangeanimefreak for being my 35th reviewer! Happy T-day! (Thanksgiving) I would like to let you guys know that I'm thankful for my readers and reviews .

Milay: Anything else? (glare)

Mc: (sees the dragon's glare) Oh…and of course you, my wonderful, thoughtful, creative muse.

Milay: (smile)I knew it.

Ryou: I haven't seen Stela doing the chapter openings with you for a while, what happened to her?

Mc: She's on holiday, but I think she is coming back soon. Now could you or Milay do the disclaimer please?

Ryou: I will.
Disclaimer: Moonclaw does not own or claims to own Yugioh or Picturnary. (But one day…) She does however own Stela, Milay, Sidra, Karan, Linda and Karan's right-hand man, Leroy.

This is normal thought 'bah'
Hikari mind thought 'bah'
Yami mind thought 'bah'

Milay: Now on with the fic!

The room was dark, as it was still early morning and because there where thick, black curtains hang over the only window in the poorly furnished, one room apartment. And the only occupant of the room, a man, was pacing around and occasionally went over to the window to peek out at the dark street.

A knock came at the door. Going to the door, the man looked through the peephole and then opened the door, motioning the other person inside before he closed the door again and turned to greet the new comer. The person who had just arrived, a man who looked to be in his mid twenties had bright red hair pulled back into a ponytail and was looking around. "Kind of dark in 'ere, at it?" The new comer muttered.

"Do you have the package I requested, Leroy?" asked the first man, his voice cold as he motioning for the visitor to sit down in one of the two thread-bare chairs that occupied the room. "Aye boss. 'Ere it is, just like you asked." The visitor said in an oily voice. "The owner was a little reluctant to part with it, but we persuaded him other wise." He said with a chuckle, pulling a wrapped package from a pocket within his jacket and handed it to his boss. The first man smiled as he unwrapped the package to revile an ancient leather-bond book with Egyptian Hieroglyphics on the cover.

"Finally. After looking all this time, the key to gaining power is in my hands." The man said with a look of pure delight on his hard face. "Tell me Leroy…do you know where the target is?"

"I think boss, that she has plans to go to the Domino Museum." Leroy answered, as he stood to leave. "And Leroy…make sure no one will be able to follow us when we have her." The man said staring loving down at the book. "Aye Karan. I'll get the boys right on it. We'll make sure none of her friends will come to her rescue." Leroy replied as he left. Karan smiled and walked over to the window and looked out at the early morning street and smiled as he thought of his plans. "Soon. Very soon."

Stela panted as she sprinted down a long, dark stone hall. Something was after her. An angry yell came from behind her. Stela looked over her shoulder; her eyes wide with fear that the thing that pursued her had caught up. But there was nothing following her down the hall. Suddenly she ran out into a pitch-black room and there in the middle, lying on the floor was Yami. Stela gasped and ran over to her fallen friend. She knelt and placed a hand on his chest, wondering what was wrong, but snatched her hand back when she felt something warm. Looking at her hand, her eyes wide in horror, Stela took a shuddering breath as she found her hand was covered in blood…Yami's blood. Another angry yell came from the hallway that Stela had ran out of and the whole place shook. Looking up at the wall, Stela say something and gasped. For what she saw could save Yami. Standing she ran to the wall…and then she bolted up, wide wake and panting as she felt cold sweet run down her back. Stela shuddered and looked at her hands and sighed in relief when she found that they were blood free.

"You had that nightmare again, didn't you?" Sidra asked quietly. Stela looked up to see that her yami sitting on the edge of her bed, a concerned look on her transparent face, and nodded, not trusting herself to speak yet. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you…your mind shut me out again." Sidra continued as she placed her hand over Stela's. Stela nodded again and cleared her throat. "It's okay" Stela said, looking down at her hands and whispered, "It was the same. I've had this dream for a month and it's always the same, but this time…" Stela hesitated and continued. "I saw something that could have possibly save Yami. It was inscribed on the wall, but I woke before I could read it."

Sidra sat quietly for a moment after Stela finished then said slowly. "Dreams can be…powerful things. I'm sure, when the time is right, that you'll know what to do." Then she smiled warmly. "Hopefully, your nightmare will never come to pass." Stela just nodded as Sidra faded and returned to her soul-room.

Sighing, Stela Got out of bed, went over to the window and winced when bright, early, Saturday morning sunlight lit the room as she opened the curtains. Padding over to the door, she stopped for a moment and looked at the bulletin board on the wall, which was covered with pictures of the gang and her. 'I can't believe that it's been 6 months already….' Stela thought with a smile as she grabbed some clothes from her dresser and entered the bathroom to get ready for the day.

She had indeed became close to almost everyone in Yugi's group, everyone except that boy Bakura, who always glared at her before staking off with a concentrated scowl on his face. And Sidra was like a sister to her. But the thing that troubled her almost everyday was her history teacher, Mr. Karan, who glared at her when she was in his class. But other then that, everything was fine in her life.

"Sweetie. What are you doing today?" Linda asked, walking into the kitchen. Stela looked up from her cereal. "I'm going to meet up with Yugi and Yami at the museum. You remember them right? The 'brothers'." Linda nodded, "Okay. Just make sure your home before 4 so you can help me prepare dinner. Seto and Mokuba are coming over tonight." She said as she left the kitchen.

Stela scowled into her bowl. It was one of Linda's quirks that Stela loved and hated at the same time. Linda liked to play mom to anyone who looked like they need a little motherly love. Apparently Kaiba fit the bill, for he and his little brother were invited over at least once a week. Looking up, Stela saw Sidra sitting across the table, small smile on her face. 'What?'

'Oh, nothing…I was just wondering if you liked that Kaibaboy.' Sidra thought as her smile turned into a grin.Stela felt her ears grow warm. 'No! Why would I like that arrogant, stuck-up, jerk? Beside, he's my mom's boss.' Stela answered hastily, knowing she was blushing. 'He's also your classmate.' Sidra thought as she faded away to leave Stela to her own thoughts. 'Ok, I guess I do have a small crush on Kaiba.' Stela thought as she washed her bowl and put it away. But those feelings were out weighed by her dislike of Kaiba's attitude. The only thing she was looking forward to that night was another chance to beat Kaiba at Picturnary.

"Mom, I'm going. Bye, see you tonight." Stela called out, waving to her mom as she grabbed her purse, double-checked her duel deck was in it, and headed out the door.

Stela smiled as she spotted Yugi and Yami standing on the steps of the Domino city Museum. "Hello, Yami, Yugi." Stela said, greeting the two. Yami greeted her with a smile while Yugi beamed "Hi, Stela…Sidra." Stela stood there grinning at her friends for a moment before peering suspiciously at the two boys. "So…what did you want to show me?"

Yami wagged his finger and leaded the way into the museum. "You'll find out soon." He said mysteriously. Stela smirked. 'Why don't you take charge for a while, I want to watch this.' Stela asked Sidra who complied and quickly switched with Stela and followed Yami and Yugi into the museum. Stepping into the slightly darker building, Sidra took a deep breath. 'Perhaps I will learn who I am here.' Sidra though. 'Lets hope so.' Stela answered her yami's thoughts as they continued after Yami and Yugi.

Mc: Ohhh, getting exciting isn't it. Sorry for the cliffhanger. And a few more things.

1. This. Is. Not. A. Mary. Sue.

2. Even though Stela does have a crush on Kaiba, it's innocent. And besides, Kaiba and everyone else would never, ever, in a million years, like her or any other of my Ocs that hangs with Yugi and co.

Oh and I've come up with a few more things I'm thankful for. My family, friends, and teachers. And pocky; lovely, chocolate pocky. (I can now see why people like it so much.) Well I have to go, have a great holiday for people who celebrate and a great day for people who don't. Remember that creative criticism is welcome, flames with be given to Milay to play with, and to review please!
