Hello everybody! Sorry the updates are takin so long. Gah, with school back up its hard for me to do anything. The updates for White Dusk and Fate's Hand 2. Well, here's the next chapter to Piercing Light which is going to be a filler chapter before a chapter with a lot of action and a song written in.

The Price of a Wish:

Sarah was still shaken at the loss of Mokuba and Rika. She could never forgive herself for this, but what choice did she have honestly. Slayer, Kenshou, and Skeku all sat in silence. Kaiba finally got up, "Thanks for trying Sarah, but…I'm just gonna go home…" Kaiba left and Slayer strolled to Sarah who sat miserably on her bed. "Why…why did this happen..? I…just want them to comeback. Take whatever you want from me but I just want Mokuba and Rika back…" Sarah moaned inwardly. "You know you didn't have the power to fight Mitsurugi yet." Slayer chastised while Sarah turned. "Shut up, they got my sister, they got my friend's brother, they'll come for him and I next." Sarah said mechanically. Slayer snickered. "Not necessarily." Sheku walked into Sarah's room with Mokuba and Rika; unconscious, but safe nonetheless. Sarah teared up and ran to hug Sheku. Slayer's face than grew grim. "There's a catch." Sarah turned in horror to listen to what her mentor had to say. "Catch, like what?!" She asked as the silenced increased her fear. Kenshou's eyes turned sad. "We have to erase the memories of all who knew you aside from us in order to use the spell that we used to save them."

Sarah stood there in complete heartbreak; no one would remember her, not Kaiba, not Mokuba, not Yugi, and his friends, and worst of all, not even her sister who she had cherished so dearly. "Why…Why is it always like this?!" She cried sadly as Slayer opened a portal to enter their world. "Kenshou, return Mokuba to Mr. Kaiba, and afterwards, follow us ASAP. Got it?" Kenshou nodded. "You ready to go back?" Slayer asked as Sarah numbly nodded. "…I'm so sorry it had to be like this. But you knew as well as I, that we cannot exist here. The age of Ka has long past this world." Sarah again nodded robotically. "May I make one request before I go back?" She asked weakly. Slayer nodded. "I want to give these cards to someone, since…I will no longer require them…" Slayer nodded. "You have an hour to find one you deem worthy of them." Sarah stood, grabbed her deck and emotionlessly headed for the door. "Will I…ever get to return to this world?" Slayer was baffled by her attraction to this world but he would not let it cloud his judgment. "Maybe when you are less wanted by assassins who use the ancient arts like Mitsurugi but go, you only have fifty minutes now." Sarah only mouthed, "Okay." Under her breath and headed for the door in search of the one who could wield the power of Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

She searched the globe travelling faster than light in search of one she deemed worthy. Finally, just arriving in Domino City about a few blocks from the Kaiba Family's house was a girl who looked similar to her. "She must be this world's version of me. Her aura is identical and in fact, her Ka is Blue-Eyes Whtie Dragon…She's perfect." Sarah draped herself in a silver blue cloak and put the hood over her face. She followed the girl to the bedroom of the one story house and finally made her presence known. "You, what is your name?" The girl wanted to scream but stopped when she realized that this girl who had invaded her home looked just like her. "I just wanna know your name; I'm the one who sold the apartment, so I just wanna confirm your identity." She thought that lie sucked, but the girl bought it. "My name is Kisara Tensho. I just moved here from an orphanage that gave me starter money to eek out a living." Sarah smiled. "In the process of one of the saddest moments of my life, I found the one I've been searching for. Or should I say…we've been searching for." Sarah turned to the ghostly image of Kisara who nodded to confirm this was the one.

"…I guess…this is goodbye huh?" The ghostly Kisara only gave a sympathetic look and put a hand on her shoulder. "When you return you better visit me, well, I guess I should us since this girl is now my partner." The spirit of the ancient Kisara replied. Sarah smiled as a tear rolled down her cheek. "Oh, I almost forgot, I want you to take this. It's my duel monsters deck; I won't need it…where I'm going." Kisara gratefully accepted the gift and her eyes grew as wide as dinner trays when she saw the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, not to mention three of them. What she didn't know however, was that Sarah kept one card…Stardust Dragon. "I thought there were only four!" She almost screamed. "I got them from Pegasus in a tournament but he kept the fact that he made two more a secret." Sarah explained lazily remembering her easy victory over the weak duelists who opposed her. Kisara nodded and hugged Sarah happily. "Thank you so much, miss uh…what's your name miss?" Sarah chuckled. "The name's Sarah." Kisara was so happy that she set the deck next to her bed on the dresser. "Thank you so much Miss Sarah." Kisara still couldn't believe her luck, first; she gets away from that orphanage thanks to funds she saved, and then she gets Blue-Eyes White Dragon deck compliments of the seller of the house. "…You take care of yourself, kay?" Kisara nodded. "You got it." Sarah quickly turned around. "Wait, I've got one request." Kisara turned around to face her. "Yes?" Sarah continued. "If you meet a guy named Seto Kaiba make friends with him. Try as hard as you can, he won't let you in easy buy don't ever give up." Kisara nodded. "Okay I will."

With that, Sarah smiled sincerely as tears trickled off her cheek, walked into the night and disappeared in an instant. "It's for the best, but at least Kaiba won't be alone…" The Egyptian Kisara watched on sadly, and mournfully. "…Poor Sarah, I wish it didn't have to be this way…" the spirit of the ancient Kisara said sadly. Kisara jumped at the voice. "Who's there?!" No reply came whatsoever. "Hm…that's weird, I coulda sworn I heard something. Ah, well, time to hit the hay." Kisara eyed the deck she had received and went to sleep.

Sarah warped back to the apartment that was practically next door. "You went around the world and the one we were searching for was next door to your house this whole time?" Slayer complained. "Give me a break, she actually just moved here." Sarah responded. Slayer opened the portal, "You took so long that Kenshou is back already, but…who cares let's just leave already." Sarah walked into the portal leaving all she knew behind but little did she know, her actions would have earth shattering results, and it would be so great that even the soon to be played "Ultimate Shadow Game" and fate itself would be affected by its results.

Bakura stood in the shadows of the alley as the glow of Blue-Eyes emitted from Kaiba's house and Kisara's. "Hm, fate has changed course…but why..?"

Author's Notes:

I know this leads to one question: "Why did you take out Sarah? Or, Is she coming back?" To answer both, since its part of the plot I can't tell you everything but what I will hint on is that it is the beginning of an interesting love triangle. Review Please! ^_^
