“Marik? Marik!” Serenity cried as she woke up. Joey, who was sitting by her bedside and had been sleeping, looked around in alarm as his sister began to get up. Joey took her shoulder and gently pushed her back down.
“Sis, sis, he’s alright, don’t worry. You just rest there.” Joey ordered. Serenity lay back and looked at Joey, who was still thinking about what to do. I have two millennium items, Yugi still has his, Marik has his, Bakura and Liviana have theirs for now, and Tea has hers. They were obviously tryin’ to kill all the owners of the items, and succeeded with at least one, but why didn’t they take the item? Why go to all the trouble of killin’ everyone if ya don’t take what ya wanted in da first place, man, dis is makin’ my head hurt!
“Big brother?” Serenity asked. Joey didn’t reply, he just hummed absently, “Where is Marik? Can I see him?” she asked. Joey heard what she said but it didn’t register. What if they were going to steal the items from the mortuary? Dead people’s stuff has to be taken off somewhere…but dat is just sick! But they are Neo Ghouls and sick is definitely a word etched into their vocabulary. Joey continued.
“I’ll go see if Marik’s up to visitors. You wait here.” Joey ordered as he got to his feet and left the room, heading down to the next private ward. Joey opened Marik’s door and saw that he was already awake,
“Serenity, is she?” Marik began as he sat up. Joey waved a hand as he closed the door.
“She’s fine. Did you see who it was that set the shop on fire?” Joey asked as he sat in the chair beside Marik’s bed. Marik was now sitting on the edge of the bed in white pyjamas eating some grapes.
“Yes, it was an army of Neo Ghouls heading over from the main street. I guess everyone else is here in some way aren’t they?” Marik replied. Joey was glad he didn’t have to explain the news to him. Joey nodded, “Who?” Marik asked. Joey didn’t need him to specify; he knew what he meant.
“Shadi was killed. I found him in an alleyway just off the main street. He gave me two items. Bakura is in critical from drowning in Pegasus’ pool and Liviana is in critical on life support from being shot through the chest, it’s touch and go with her. Tea’s in a private room with a shot in her shoulder and Yugi’s down the hall with the same as you; a little smoke in the lungs. Serenity’s ok, she got it less than you, but Yugi’s Gramps…he was too old…the smoke got him. They thought he was going to be alright, but then he just…” Joey finished, coughing as his voice broke and wiping his eyes so that he wouldn’t cry. Marik looked up solemnly,
“Does Yugi know?” he asked. Joey shook his head. “I must call Ishizu and Odion, they must be informed of this.” Marik decided suddenly as he got out of the bed and headed for the door, Joey close behind.
“You sure you should be up?” Joey asked as they walked down the hall.
“I’m fine…you should be the one to tell Yugi about…”Marik replied. Joey bowed his head and turned to Yugi’s room. Looking in he could see him sitting in bed reading a magazine while eating grapes. What is it with grapes and hospitals? Joey wondered as he pushed the door open and went over to the chair by Yugi’s bed.
“Hi Joey, I was wondering when you’d be along. Thanks for getting us out; I know Grandpa will be grateful too. Are Marik and Serenity alright?” Yugi asked. Joey nodded, not looking at his friend. “Have a grape.” Yugi offered. Joey shook his head, finally getting the courage to tell him.
“Yugi, there’s something I have ta tell ya.” He began…

“Mokuba? What are you doing here?” Tea asked as she sat up, man my shoulder hurts. she thought. Her arm was in a sling so she had to use one arm to push herself upright.
“We came to make sure you were alright.” He replied taken aback. Tea smiled and looked at the bedside clock, it was now about ten in the morning.
“Shouldn’t you be in school?” Tea asked,
“That’s what I said.” A low voice said from the door. Tea turned from Mokuba and looked at the door where Kaiba stood with Pegasus. Kaiba entered and sat on the end of the bed while Pegasus stood by the door,
“What are you?” Tea began,
“Liviana and Bakura.” He replied, not elaborating on it further.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” a voice cried in despair from down the hall. It sounded like a young boy; Kaiba got up and walked out into the corridor.
“Yugi, calm down.” Joey cried,
“Calm down? Calm down? How can you expect me to be calm about this?” Yugi shouted in reply,
“Yugi I-”
“Go away!” Yugi replied, cutting across Joey. Joey stepped out of the room and saw Kaiba looking at him quizzically.
“Gramps died.” He said emotionlessly before turning and walking away. Kaiba waited for Joey to go before heading to Yugi’s door, what am I doing? he wondered as he pushed the door open and stepped inside. Yugi had his face in a pillow and was crying silently,
“Go away Joey.” He choked. Kaiba sighed and went to the head of the bed, “I said go a- Kaiba?” Yugi asked in confusion as Kaiba sat down silently and looked at his rival,
“I heard about your grandfather.” He explained. Yugi suddenly got bitter and looked away,
“Why do you care? You almost gave him a heart attack once.” He accused.
“I know, but I’m not here about that. I’m here to tell you to pull yourself together.” Kaiba announced. Yugi turned on Kaiba,
“Pull myself together? I’d like to see how you’d cope with something like this!” he snapped. Kaiba smiled slightly, quite liking the arrogant, angry side of Yugi.
“But I have. About a year before Gozaburo adopted me my parents went missing. They aren’t confirmed dead, but after all this time there isn’t a lot of hope that they’re alive. When they went missing I didn’t cry because I thought they’d come back and when I realised that that wasn’t the case I could have cried and sat in my room alone, but I didn’t because I had Mokuba relying on me, just like you have people relying on you. Bakura is in critical, he needs you, Liviana is on life support, she needs you and, though I hate to say it, if we’re going to get the ghouls then we all need you…I need you.” Kaiba replied. Yugi sat as though transfixed as Kaiba looked him directly in the eyes,
“You’re right…I’d better apologise to Joey…it wasn’t his fault.” Yugi replied. Kaiba smiled in satisfaction as he got to his feet and walked to the door,
“I’ll go find the mutt.” He replied,
“Kaiba…I’d just like to thank you for what you said and I’m sorry for what I said about you…it was uncalled for.” Yugi apologised.
“Forget it.” Kaiba replied as he left the room.

“Hi, are you okay?” a voice asked. Yugi, who was wearing his own clothes again, turned to see a girl behind him. She had long black hair with a fringe that almost went over her eyebrows. Her eyes were dark brown and looked at him in concern. Yugi was standing by the morgue,
“No, I mean yes, I mean, hi.” He replied sadly. The girl’s concern deepened then and she walked forward. She was a little shorter than Tea so Yugi came up to her chin. She wore a short purple skirt and jacket with matching boots and a black top. The skirt and jacket seemed to be made out of a sort of suede and Yugi had to stop himself from touching it to feel.
“What are you doing here?” she asked as she walked him to the wall at the side of the morgue.
“Well, I’m here because I was in a fire, that and a lot of my friends were hurt in other ways too.” He replied. The girl looked up at the sign that read Mortuary and then looked back at Yugi,
“I meant here.” She hinted looking up. Yugi looked up and immediately looked down.
“I, err, he…I came to see my grandpa…he wasn’t as lucky as me.” he replied as he looked at the floor. The girl’s face warmed a little as she looked down at him.
“Do you need some company?” she asked. Yugi looked up in shock,
“Oh no, I couldn’t possible ask you to, I mean I don’t know you and, it wouldn’t be fair and-”
“I’m Sabrina Pegasus. There, now you know me. Who are you?” she asked in reply.
“Yugi Muto, did you say Pegasus?” he asked. The girl nodded, “Then you must be Liviana’s sister!” He concluded,
“No, I’m her step-sister. She was my mother’s ex-husband’s daughter. I’m from his second marriage, but Max and Liviana treated me like I was their own, even when my dad died.” she replied. A nurse walked out of the morgue and looked around a moment before spotting Yugi,
“Are you ready?” she asked. Yugi nodded and went to walk away when he felt Sabrina take his hand,
“No, honestly, you should go and see-”
“Later.” She replied, not letting go of his hand.

“Where’s Yugi?” Marik asked as he entered Serenity’s room and sat beside her on the bed. Joey looked up from where he had been looking through his sister’s deck.
“He went to see his Gramps, you know…” he trailed off. Marik just nodded and looked solemn,
“God sis, where did you get all these cards? A lot of them I haven’t seen before, they seem to be…I don’t know…” he asked as he handed the deck back to Serenity. Serenity took them and smiled at Marik,
“They’re Egyptian, Marik bought them with him from Egypt and built my deck with them.” She replied as she put the deck in a plastic case. Marik watched her and smiled when she looked up,
“I’m sorry about this.” He said. Joey and Serenity looked quizzical for a moment, “This is all my fault. I should have told you to get out when I saw them coming, if I had then maybe Mr. Muto would still be here.” Marik replied. Serenity sat up and put her arms around Marik, pulling him into a loving embrace,
“There was nothing you could have done, how do you know that they wouldn’t have come after us if we had left? There was no way we would have left without them seeing us, and at least the rest of us are still alive. Have you seen Ishizu yet?” Serenity asked, changing the subject. Marik nodded as he sat up straight,
“Yes, this afternoon. She and Odion are arranging the transportation of Shadi’s body to Egypt for his burial.” He replied. Joey thought back to the last time he saw Shadi. The millennium items were still in his backpack, which he kept with him so they didn’t go missing. I’m gonna kill those ghouls when I get hold of them! He thought angrily,
“Joey, what’s that glowing in your bag?” Serenity asked. Joey looked down and saw a gold light coming from the zip. He pulled the zip and reached in, it was one of the items, the millennium key. Joey held the item up and it glowed brighter before the light slowly died. That was weird. Joey decided,
“Joey, I believe you should keep the key. It seems that it has chosen you for its new keeper.” Marik said. Joey held the item before putting it round his neck, somehow feeling that it belonged there. This day is just getting weirder.

“I thinks he’s waking up!” A voice said excitedly. There were footsteps and a shout outside before another set of footsteps entered the room. Bakura struggled to open his eyes a few times before they actually opened. He blinked a couple of times and saw a feminine face looking down at him. He tried to speak, but just coughed.
“Hey, stay still and don’t try to speak.” The woman said. Bakura blinked, trying to get his eyes to focus. Everything was a blur. There were three vague shapes. Bakura blinked a few more times and the shapes took form. Tea, who had one arm in a sling, sat by his bed, holding his right hand, Kaiba, who had been the voice in the corridor, was leaning on the wall by the door and the third was a nurse who was standing by the bed checking his heart rate and drip bag. He had an oxygen mask over his nose and mouth and a drip connected to his hand by a needle.
“He’s out of danger now, we should try to get him to eat something soon.” The nurse said. Tea nodded and the nurse left and suddenly there was another in the room on his left. Bakura looked up at Ryou, where is she Ryou? Bakura asked. Ryou looked sadly at him and looked at Tea, who couldn’t see him, I suggest you ask her; I haven’t the heart to speak it aloud. he replied before disappearing once again. Bakura shifted his gaze to Tea,
“W-Where is she?” he managed to choke before going into a coughing fit. Tea helped him to sit up and helped him drink some water. Tea looked at Kaiba, who slipped silently out of the door.
“Bakura, something happened after you were pulled out of the pool.” She began.

“Thank you…for coming with me today.” Yugi said as he and Sabrina rounded a corner on their way to check on Liviana. Sabrina look at Yugi and smiled,
“That’s fine, really, and thank you for coming with me to see my sister.” She replied as they reached the door. Yugi smiled and pointed to the door, where they could see Pegasus sitting by the bed, his eyes locked on the sleeping form of Liviana as he held one of her hands in both of his.
“Well, I guess you should go in. I don’t like to intrude.” Yugi said as he opened the door and held it for Sabrina with his foot. Sabrina smiled grimly at Yugi before stepping inside.
“Sabrina!” Pegasus said in surprise as he turned in his chair to see her standing there. Sabrina walked forward and was pulled into an embrace. Yugi smiled to himself before shutting the door and walking away.

“I have to see her.” Bakura stated as he swung his legs over the side of the bed. Tea’s eyes widened and she used her good arm to try and push him back down gentle, but he swatted the hand away and edged forward to the edge of the bed,
“Kaiba! Get a nurse!” Tea shouted. Bakura ripped the needle from his hand, making it bleed. He got to his feet unsteadily and put one hand on the wall for support while he got used to being on his feet again.
“What do you think you’re doing!” the nurse said firmly as she walked in. Bakura looked at the nurse momentarily before walking slowly to the door, half leaning on the wall. The nurse barred his way, “Where do you think you’re going? Get back to bed at once!” she ordered. Bakura hardened his gaze, Ryou; I have to see her. Bakura said, and Ryou silently agreed, taking control of his body.
“Remove yourself from my path.” He ordered firmly. The nurse looked taken aback but stood firm, “Allow me to make myself clear. Remove yourself from my path, or I shall remove you myself.” He replied calmly. The nurse still remained,
“Now, enough of that, back to bed at once.” She ordered. Ryou sighed and pushed her out of the way roughly, forcing her into the wall behind. Was that entirely necessary? Bakura asked. Did you want to see Liviana or not? He replied. Bakura said nothing but allowed Ryou to continue on his way. Unlike Bakura, Ryou could now walk without holding onto the wall. He turned through two corridors before reaching Liviana’s room. Pegasus and a girl with long black were already inside. Ryou allowed Bakura to take control once again and he sagged against the wall.
“Bakura? What are you doing here? Last I heard you were still asleep!” Pegasus said. Looking at him Bakura could see that Pegasus had not slept in days, he had large bags under his eyes and his hair was lacking in its usual neat shine.
“I came to see her.” Bakura replied. The girl, who had been sitting in the seat by the bed, got up and helped Bakura to sit down. “Thank you lady.” Bakura replied. The girl nodded and walked to the foot of the bed where she stood with Pegasus. Liviana had a drip, heart monitor and a few other wires linked to her. Bakura took her hand and looked at her. “What happened?” he asked.
“She was shot. It missed her lungs and heart, but the doctors do not believe she will wake up. They said if she were going to wake up at all she would have done it by now.” He replied sadly. Bakura felt a tear fall down his face as he looked back to Liviana. Though her eyes were closed Bakura could see she was wearing her millennium eye. Bakura! You can save her still! It’s not too late! Ryou said. Tell me and I’ll do it. Bakura replied. You must go into the shadows of her mind and find her. The ring can send you. Bakura looked down at the millennium ring for a moment before gripping it with one hand, send me into her mind! Please! He half ordered and half begged, willing the shadows to claim his mind. It felt as if he were floating out of his body and then he was surrounded by shadows, the pain of his body was gone, he could see why Liviana would retreat to this place.
“Where do I start?” he wondered aloud as he looked around,
“Well, you could always hitch a ride.” A familiar voice said beside him. Looking to his right Bakura saw Ryou. They were now separate.
“I didn’t know you were coming.” Bakura said,
“What, you think I would let you go wandering around in the shadows alone? I think not.” Ryou replied before whistling loudly. Looking up Bakura saw a vague shape, a huge shape. The shape soon took the form of the Red-eyes Black Dragon. “Like I said, lets hitch a ride.” Ryou replied. Bakura only now noticed that they were back in their usual light blue trousers and jacket with a blue and white striped top beneath. Once the dragon landed Bakura approached uneasily and climbed onto the back while Ryou hopped lightly behind. “We are seeking two woman, youthful as we are with light lilac hair. We need your speed and eyes my friend.” Ryou ordered. The dragon gave a roar and took to the black sky.

“What happened?” the nurse demanded as she entered Liviana’s room where Bakura was slumped in the chair, leaning on the bed. Tea was close behind in the doorway,
“I don’t know, he just passed out.” Sabrina replied in worry as the nurse checked for a pulse and shook him. Bakura’s body remained as it was; empty.
“He’s gone to find her.” Tea whispered to Kaiba who stood beside her. Kaiba didn’t even pretend to understand what she was saying, but he guessed it had something to do with the millennium necklace.

“There, I think I see something.” Bakura said pointing to the ground. Below they could see two humanoid figures sitting together. The dragon dived suddenly and landed beside the figures,
“Liviana?” Bakura asked as he slid down from the dragon.
“Bakura!” She cried in reply, throwing herself into his arms. Ryou waited on the dragon impatiently; Sahara joined him.
“Come, we must leave this place.” He called, though he felt that they were already too late. Bakura turned and looked into the sky, thinking he had heard something. “Oh…damn!” Ryou cursed and the three blue-eyes white dragons soared into view. Bakura turned and looked back at his Yami,
“What is it?” he asked. Liviana let out a scream as one of the dragons swooped down at her,
“That is, now come on! Hurry! We have to get out of their territory!” Ryou replied pulling Sahara up so she sat in front of him. Bakura pulled Liviana towards the black dragon and boosted her up before jumping up himself. “Hurry my friend we must fly!” Ryou shouted. The black dragon needed no encouragement and took to the sky as fast as it could.

The shadowed figure slipped silently into Bakura’s room, the millennium ring was round his neck in plain view. He reached out and touched the ring,
“I don’t think so.” Kaiba said before hitting the figure over the back with a chair. He stepped out from behind the door and Tea walked into the room, “That necklace comes in handy.” Kaiba observed as he pushed the cloaked figure into a chair. Pulling back the hood a young face was revealed. Definitely a ghoul.
“Your suspicions were right, he was after the millennium items, that’s why they attacked us, to make sure that all of the items were close together…” Tea said. Kaiba looked darkly at the boy’s face, he was familiar…“There are others, but I think Yugi and Joey can handle them.” Tea added.

“That’s the last of ‘em Yug.” Joey announced as he dumped a final ghoul into the janitor’s closet. Boy, is he gonna have a surprise. Joey thought as he closed the door. Yugi looked around, they hadn’t been seen.
“We still have to find a way to stop them, Once and for all.” Yugi replied. Joey nodded in agreement and was about to speak when there was a call from the end of the corridor.
“Yugi!” Sabrina called as she ran to meet them. As she drew closer Joey felt something odd about her, the same feeling he had when he was with Marik, Yugi and Tea. This is weird. He decided as he picked up his bag from the floor, but he felt the feeling increase as he did so. What now? He wondered as he opened his bag. He reached in and pulled out the millennium scales, which were alight. Sabrina suddenly went quiet, “You found them.” She observed. Joey looked at her in shock,
“You knew about these?” he asked as he held the scales up. She nodded,
“Yes, I was their keeper, but my Yami was too strong, I had no control. She would have taken over and done…terrible things, so I threw them away…but the last I knew Shadi had them, and he is the keeper of the key that you have round your neck, I can only now assume that something has happened to him.” She replied. Joey nodded and told her what had happened to him,
“You have to take them, you’re their keeper. Even Bakura didn’t refuse his responsibility.” Joey said,
“Bakura didn’t know what I know, and his Yami was not as evil hearted.” She replied. Yugi took her hand, seeing her discomfort.
“I know its hard, but I’ll be here for you, if something happens I’ll sort it, will you at least try? We need all the help we can get!” Yugi begged. Sabrina grudgingly agreed and took the scales, transforming at once into a young woman with wavy hair in a ponytail and dark rims around the eyes as if she had been heavy in applying black eye liner.
“Fools! You should have heeded her warnings! And now you shall pay!” the woman cried in a deep voice. Yami, who grabbed her wrist as she made to raise it, immediately replaced Yugi.
“I don’t think so.” He said assertively. The woman turned to look at him, first in anger, but then in surprise,
“Atem.” She said, Yami’s eyes widened and he dropped the hand, suddenly seeing a name in his head along with many memories,
“Serena!” he exclaimed, and suddenly he was pulled into an embrace and long lasting kiss,
“Hey, break it up!” Joey ordered, the two came apart, “What is goin’ on?” he demanded. Sabrina went on to explain, using her ancient memories to do so…

Serena was a young woman, new in Egypt. She worked as a servant for the Pharaoh and his new wife, Telar, whom he had been betrothed to. Telar and her husband loved each other deeply, but not in the way of lovers, more as friends who have been together many years. One day Serena had lost her temper, it was an easy thing to do in the palace with the guards leering at her all day. One guard had gone too far, she had somehow made him disappear.
She had had the scales with her as always, they had been passed down through her family for many generations. She had not meant for him to go, she had just thought it, but he had gone. Serena had been taken before the Pharaoh, who had always known of the scales. He took pity on her and ordered it to be forgotten, much to the horror of the remaining guards, who decided to stay away from her from then on. Serena felt indebted to the Pharaoh and stayed close to him, knowing she was more powerful than a mere guard.
Things had gone well until they had realised that they were in love and had started seeing each other. Telar didn’t suspect, in fact there were rumours of her going away at night and returning in the morning, though none knew where she went they could all guess what she was doing sneaking about, but when the Pharaoh found that his wife had betrayed him, he had gone to Seth, the other man, and declared battle. After the battle Atem had wedded Serena, declaring Telar dead and Seth disposed of, though a few weeks later both Seth and Telar returned and were allowed to continue their lives.

“Wow, that’s some story…so does this mean you’re not going to take over the world?” Joey asked nervously eyeing Serena.
“I was never going to take over the world, I was just going to any length possible to find Atem. I thought him to be dead, and here I find him hiding among humans as I do.” She replied, still holding Yami in her arms.
“Right well, I guess that makes up the seven, but we still have to wait and see what happens with Bakura and Liviana…” Joey replied falling silent at the thought of his friends.
