Ishizu's POV

Ishizu was sitting in her hideout, contemplating the recent events, when her golden necklace glowed. A vision flashed before her eyes. Two figures stood in a dimly lit room. She recognized the telltale hair of the man she had met just hours ago. "Yugi..." she whispered.

The other figure had a dark angry aura around him. His stance was threatening, as clouds of fog rolled off him. The vision faded, leaving Ishizu pale and worried.

"No...he's in danger. Bakura is acting rashly. Yugi has no memory of why Bakura hates him so much. He's starting a Yami No Game."

She stood up. "I have no right to stop him but..." She waved a hand, and the blue fire flickered out, shutting her in darkness. Her necklace glowed once again, lighting her way as she walked down the hallway, and opened the door, blinking as bright moonlight shone upon her.

Shutting the door tight, she placed a seal over the door, muttering ancient words. The seal glowed red then faded. Nodding, Ishizu darted down the street, towards the pier of the city. She tripped but caught herself, her serious blue eyes darting around. The pier came into view, and she slowed down, panting.

A small jet boat was sitting idle in the water. A young man was on the ship's front half. He was siting in a chair, absorbed in a magazine. His tanned skin matched Ishizu's, and his platinum blonde hair blew in the wind. "My brother!" Ishizu cried out.

The man looked down at her, then scrambled from his chair, dropping the magazine. Instead of using the ladder he jumped over the side, landing safely on the ground. Ishizu ran to him, and surprised him by hugging him.

The man patted her head. "Ishizu what's wrong? Have you had a strange vision? You were supposed to be in the hideout for another week or so!"

Ishizu let go of him, her words tumbling out of her mouth. "Malik. I know this is so sudden but...he came earlier than we thought! He's been with the boy for a few weeks or so now.

And Bakura won't leave him alone! He's going to kill him Malik! He's going to kill our only hope!"

Malik put up his hands. "Woah...slow down."

Ishizu nodded, and shut her mouth. Malik crossed his arms, looking frustrated. "Sugouroku gave the boy the puzzle too early. We warned him that Bakura was not in his right state of mind. Now he's going to lose his grandson. The fool."

Ishizu narrowed her eyes. "But...can't we do something?"

Malik shook his head. "My dear sister. We were given strict orders. And interrupting a Yami No Game is forbidden. We can only hope that Bakura hasn't gone completely insane yet."

Ishizu slumped her shoulders. "I see."

Malik sighed. "We can however, report this to our superiors. They should know what to do. The boy's spirit has no idea who he is. We can't let Bakura get away with everything. We ourselves can't stop him, but maybe they can.

They have the power to send the Dark Bakura away for a time. The only reason they didn't was because our plan was supposed to work and the man would know more before engaging with Bakura."

Ishizu nodded. "That's our only choice...for now."

Thunder rumbled in the sky, angry and loud. A wind blew over the siblings, dry and hot. These weather patterns were not normal, and the siblings knew why.

Ishizu glanced up at the sky, a pleading look in her eyes. "We'll get this sorted out. Our hope won't die this easily."

Malik laid a hand on her shoulder. "Let's get to contacting them. Our time is running out."

Malik climbed the ladder to the boat, with Ishizu behind him. She closed her eyes for a second, whispering a wish. "Don't die...my King."
