"WHAT????? You GOT to be kidding me! I can't believe that Ashleigh's Dark Half done that" Atem said as Yusei slowly came into the room and fell on the ground in pain, 'That was suppose to be Dark Yusei job for later!'

---

Ashleigh picked up the note that fell on the ground while everyone panicked about Judai.
"There's a note to the necklace too" she said.

"Damn bitch," Yusei groaned. "Remind me to kick her ass the next time I see her."

---

"What's it say?" Yugi asked. He peered over Ashleigh's shoulder at the note, and read what Yusei had written. It was dated two weeks ago, just before he'd been taken over.

Ashleigh, I wanted to make sure I got this to you before anything too bad happened. I asked Melhana to teach me how to control my magic so that if we all ran into some kind of trouble where we Signers couldn't use our power, I'd have some kind of backup. I stored some of my magical energy in here, just in case you needed it. If anything happens to me, use it to keep the rest of the Signers safe.

-Yusei

Ashleigh put the necklace around Aka's neck.
"This will help you to stay in human form" she said and she took the Millenum Tauk out of her pocket. She gave it to Yugi.
"I'm feeling that something bad is going to happen to me. And I know you had this one before. I want you to look after it for me" she said.

---

"That teaches you two things. First thing, Never piss off a woman. I should know from experiance. And secondly, you have to follow orders fully" Atem sighed.

"Ashleigh," Yugi said as she put the Tauk in his hand. "No, it chose you, Ashleigh." He handed it back to her and took her hand in his. "I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you, ever."

---

"Just stow it, spy." Yusei replied. "Yeah, I know you're a spy." He added, seeing the shocked look on Atem's face. He formed a blade of solid shadows and lunged at Atem, stopping when the tip of the blade was barely a centimeter from the ancient's neck. "And by the time this tournament is over, you'll be dead. Remember that."

"Oh, you forgot one thing" Atem said as he slid into spirit form, "I'm already dead, and we got all we need to know. YOu won't take us down that easly as you done before. And no way, I'm handing either of my decentants over."

---

"I'm sorry but I saw what would happen before the duel even began. I'm willing to make that sacrifice. I don't want you guys hurt. This got worse because I doubted myself. If I didn't do that, we would've ended it earlier' Ashleigh said.

Yusei lowered the knife slightly. "Clearly." He replied. Then, without warning, he sliced open a wound on Atem's right arm. "Surprised?" He laughed. "My abilities don't merely apply to the living. I can harm the dead as well."

---

"Ashleigh, the future isn't set in stone. What you saw happen is no guarentee." Yugi replied. "You don't have to make that sacrifice."

---

"What the hell is going on here?" Kaiba demanded.

See for yourself. Selena typed, pointing to the emtpy room. They've got Judai.

"Damn it," Kaiba growled.

---

"What's this?" Kaimiri asked when Dark Ashleigh dropped Judai Yuki at his feet. "You took a duelist whose mind has been shattered and brought him here?"

Just when the wound opened, the wound automatically closed up. You couldn't see where the wound was.
"I didn't feel that. I don't care if the real Yusei is encased in crystal, you know with a strong will, anything can happen. Remember that' and with that, Atem disappeared in front of the creep's eyes.

---

"You said you want the boy. Sadly, that idiot didn't finish the order you said. And we have another traitor on our hands. Do you want me to finish him?" Dark Ashleigh asked.

---

"I must. I should've done this ages ago" Ashleigh replied.

Yusei smirked as Atem dissapeared. "Looks like I'll have to find another way to destroy you," he said, allowing the blade to dissapear.

---

"True, I did say I wanted Judai, but not immediatly." Kaimiri replied. "His defeat at the hands of Yusei is part of getting him to us. After all, if he was brought here right after losing, then there's hardly a chance of his surviving." He pinched the bridge of his nose. "You've gone and ruined the plan you foolish girl...."

---

Yugi hugged Ashleigh. "No, you don't!" Yugi replied. "There's more than one way out of this. It may not seem like it, but there is. You have to believe me when I say that."

"But not mine" Dark Ashleigh said and a purple cage surrounded Kaimriri. Then she walked up, clasped her hand around her neck AND suck most of the power out of him. Then she chucked him on the ground and sat where he was.
"I was waiting for you to do that expression for a long time. Now you listen to me" she said.

---

"Then what is it?" Ashleigh asked as she pushed Yugi away, "What is another way?"

"I don't think so," Kaimiri replied coldly. The throne he had been sitting in liquified and reformed, completely entrapping the woman up to her neck, so only her head was showing. "And don't try getting out of there." Thunder crashed outside and an unearthly screeched tore through the air. "Heh. You've gone ahead and pissed him off."

---

Yugi bit his bottom lip. "Honestly, I don't know." he replied softly. "But we'll find it. I swear we will."

Dark Ashleigh smirked and Kaimiri's dad screamed. Then another lot of power entered her body. The creature slumped down and turned back where he was before.
"I planted that trap ages ago and your father fell for it. You might be powerful, but you two are surely aren't bright. There are places in here which traps can be easily be planted. If you knew that, you would've checked a long time ago if it's not your trap. If you value your life, you will do as I say! And maybe, I give your powers back" and on that day, Dark Ashleigh called herself Queen.

---

"There is nothing you can do to change it" Ashleigh said. Little did both know, that incident will happen the next day.

Just then, daddy dearest decided it was time for a father-son conference. 'I suggest you take your chance now. She's drunk with power.'

'I will, father.' Kaimiri replied. He raised his hand and started advancing towards Dark Ashleigh. "You know, you've pissed off two gods today." he said. "And you, young lady, will never call yourself 'Queen'." He plunged his hand into Dark Ashleigh's chest and grabbed hold of her soul's heart, not her body's. He pulled, bringing the woman's soul with it. "I'm taking back my powers. And yours as well, I think." Once Dark Ashleigh's soul was completely free of her body, he consumed it completely. "Ah, a nice snack." He said, summoning the three-bladed scythe. "I have to admit, if you hadn't been such a fool your power would have been so much greater. But, I guess this will have to do."

---

"Ashleigh, you won't be kidnapped tomorrow night. Not if I, or anyone else, have anything to say about it." Yugi replied. He released Ashleigh and dialed a number on his phone. He waited while the phone on the other end rang.

"If you know me by now, I can change appearances. That was my previous form" said a voice, and the scythe was flunged out of Kaimiri's hand and to Dark Ashleigh's hand. She was now wearing an dark grey and black colour scheme. She walked out from the shadows.
"I was inspired by what you did with Yusei, so I got one of my own. I knew, that form had lust for powers, so I sheared, and ended up encasing a less powerful girl. When I returned however, I found out that it didn't turn to dust like my other form, I, after visiting Sakura, stalked it, waiting till the time was right, but I couldn't get a chance. Plus spoiling the plans that we all made. I mean, girls are deadly when PMSing, but going that low? If it wasn't for you two, that form will keep consuming everyone's magic till it exploded. You can have that 'soul heart.' Consider that a thank you gift" she explained.
"I respect you and all, but you are a little....how should I say this without offending you guys.....daft. If you are really gods of this dimension, you should know that it was mearly a shell. You should be ashamed of yourselves for letting it taking your powers like that" she added and raised her scythe. With one slice, the formal form turned to dust.
"And plus I know a really good way to grab Ashleigh too. One thing what it said was true. Atem is a traitor. He was able to resist the power. So, I purpose a suggestion that we get rid of him, we meaning my brother who successfully have total control over Fudou and myself' Dark Ashleigh continued, "And we have to make sure that the girl's all alone."

---

That was when Aka clasped her mouth with her hand.
I think I gave my Hikari away she thought, how foolish am I?
Welcome to the diminutional calling centre. Here, you can call different dimensions. Please state which dimension would you like to call went the robotic voice at the end of the phone. Ashleigh felt a glare coming from Yugi.
"I told you to NOT call that number! I have friends on different dimensions" she said, "And no, it's NOT what you're thinking either."

Yugi sighed and hung up on that number to redial the person he was trying to call. This time he got the right one. I hope nothing bad has happened to them as well, he thought as he waited for the person on the other end to pick up.

"Hello?" Marik asked when he picked up on the other end.

"Hey, Marik, I've got a favor to ask you." Yugi said. "Ashleigh's being targeted for her power."

"And you want me to come over to Japan to help protect her." Marik finished.

"Yeah, and there's another problem that needs dealing with too." Yugi said. "You remember me telling you about Yusei?"

"Yeah," Marik replied. "What's happened?"

"He's...he's been turned. Completely." Yugi replied.

---

Kaimiri stepped down from the platform the throne was on and picked up Judai's limp form. "Thank you for stating the obvious." He said calmly, a slight edge to his voice. "And I'm going to fix your screwup before it's completely irreversable. I want Judai alive, not dead." A cold smile curled the edge of his mouth. "What Mr. Fudo has done to Judai Yuki was part of the plan. You kidnapping this kid was not. Consider yourself lucky this time; next time you screw up like this I'll be sure to make you wish I'd never created you." With that he dissapeared in a shimmer, having retrieved his power.

---

Meanwhile, Kaiba and Selena were holding the beginnings of an investigation to discover how--and why--whoever took Judai managed to get hold of him, and who the kidnapper was. Kaiba was in the middle of barking an order to one of the security personnel to re-check the entrances when the security alarms went off. "What the hell is going on now?!" He demanded, his temper running high.

"It's coming from Judai Yuki's room, Mr. Kaiba!" The security cheif replied. "Somebody's managed to get in, but none of the windows or the door has been touched!"

"Then find out how!" Kaiba shouted as he and Selena made fast time to Judai's room to see what the commotion was. When the door was flung open, they both saw that Judai was back in his bed, looking paler than before.

"I'm only here to correct the mistake my subordinate made." The man said, stepping in front of Judai's bed. "I'll let your doctors to him, but that's it."

"You heard him." Kaiba told the doctor next to him. The doctor nodded and had on of the nurses accompany him to look after Judai. "Why the hell are you here, really?"

"I'm returning your duelist, that's what." The man said. "Good-bye." He shimmered out of existance, leaving the room empty.

Dark Ashleigh flopped on her bed and screamed into it.
"I don't believe it! They didn't believe me when I told them I went to the future and got a poor defenseless girl! I officially did not kidnaped Yuki! If this keeps up, I'm leaving and I'm never coming back!" and she cried. After a while, a hand touched her shoulder. She looked up and saw Kaimiri looking at her smiling for some reason or another.
"Why do you care about me? I either go 5 steps forward or 10 steps back. I'm a true mess up!" she said, "If you said that I screwed up, why wasn't I aware of what did happen? I wasn't going to kidnapped Judai! Honest!"

"Then explain to me why you did." Kaimiri replied cooly. "If you do, then I MIGHT allow you to redeem yourself."

---

Things had calmed down a bit in the infirmary, but Kaiba and Sakura were still investigating.

Okay, first somebody kidnapps Judai, then they bring him back. Am I the only one here who doesn't see anything wrong with this picture? Sakura typed.

Kaiba shook his head. "No, you're not." He replied. Just then one of the doctors came up to them. "What is it?"

"Mr. Kaiba, Judai Yuki's sister won't leave his side. We've tried telling her that he needs to rest, but she's outright refusing to leave." The doctor said.

"Then throw her out." Kaiba replied, annoyed.

No, don't. Sakura typed. I think I could use her help.

"For what?" Kaiba asked.

Finding out what's wrong with Judai. Sakura typed in reply. She pocketed her phone and headed off to Judai's room.

"You're still accusing me of what I can't remember doing?" Dark Ashleigh cried, "Check my mind, it will tell you the truth!"

"Then I will," Kaimiri said. He touched his two fingers to her forehead and entered her mind, his eyes slipping out of focus.

The girl had gone to another time to take control of another girl's body so that she would have a corpeal form. She left her former body behind as to prevent attracting suspicion. She came back to take out Sakura, but when she did....

"I see...." Kaimiri said, extracting himself from her mind.

"I told you but you and your father didn't believe me. Why did you false accuse me for something I didn't do?" Dark Ashleigh's eyes filled with tears.

Kaimiri stared at her coldly. "You should not have left your...'shell' here when you went looking for a new body." He said. "I could have easily fashioned one for you."

"I'm growing independent ok? Why can't you gods deal with that?" Dark Ashleigh asked, "I thought you were understanding."

Kaimiri sighed. "Just make sure you kill Sakura next time." He said.

---

Sora turned her head as Kamikaze Sakura entered the room. "What are you..." She started, wiping her face. She didn't want to admit it, but she'd spend the last few minutes crying.

I need your help figuring out what's wrong with Judai. Sakura typed out on her phone.

"Why?" Sora asked. "What can you do?"

Let's just say that I'm not quite normal. Sakura replied.

Dark Ashleigh stared at Kaimiri.
"Yes Kaimiri" she replied, "And by tomorrow night, you will have Ashleigh locked up in the dungeon."

Kaimiri smirked. "That's what I like to hear." He said, and left the room.

---

"How are you going to help Judai?" Sora asked.

Something's stopping me from entering Judai's mind to find out what's wrong. Sakura typed. I'm going to need you to enter your brother's mind with me.

Sora's eyes widened. "Is that even possible?" She asked. "I don't have any abilities."

Really? Don't you have some of the same power Judai has, being his twin sister? Sakura asked.

Sora nodded slowly. She pushed her glasses up on her nose. "You're asking me to pool my powers with yours to help find out what's wrong with Judai." She said.

I figured that if anyone could help, it would be you. Sakura typed.

Dark Ashleigh looked outside the window. It was a clear night with loads of stars.
Why can't they understand that I'm changing? I can't keep relying on them all the time, they will think that I become a spoilt brat. And How can I kill Sakura? She has a gun and that Demon eye she thought.
