"Hello?" Aoi asked when she answered.

"Hey Aoi," Yugi said on the other end. "Could you tell the others that I think I found a solution to our little problem?"

Aoi nodded. "Sure." She said. "What solution is that?"

"I used a spell that made Kaimiri think Ashliegh's dead." Yugi replied. Aoi about had her own reply fly out of her mough when Yugi continued. "Don't worry; it wasn't an actual death. Well, not permanent."

"What're you talking about?" Aoi asked.

"The spell I cast caused Ashleigh to well...'die' for a few minutes. That would by why everyone's dogtags went cold." Yugi replied.

"...oh." Aoi said.

"Well, who is it?" Rua asked.

"It's Yugi," Aoi replied, holding her hand over the reciever. "He called to explain why our dogtags all went cold." She lowered her hand. "Yugi, Ruka's got a question for Ashleigh..."

"What is it?" Yugi asked.

"She was wondering if Ashleigh would be willing to train her to be a mage." Aoi replied.

"Who is it on the phone?" Ashleigh called from the receiver side.
I hope she say yes Rua thought.

"It's Aoi," Yugi replied. "She's wondering if you'd take on Ruka as an apprentice."

"umm....i guess I could give it a shot since mage and fairy magic are quite similar" Ashleigh said.
"I'll help too" Ruby cried out.

Yugi smiled. "Aoi, you can tell Ruka that it's a yes," he said.

"Great," Aoi said. Yugi could hear her relay the message on the other end, and Ruka and Rua's shouts of delight.

"If they come over now, I'm sure we can magic proof the living room. I have to start teaching Yana anyway" Ashleigh said.

"Sounds like they'll be able to start now," Yugi said. "Once Ashleigh's done magic-proofing the house, that is."

Aoi nodded. "Sounds good," she replied.

"Does she really mean that??" Rua asked.
"I think she does" Aki said.

Aoi nodded in confirmation. Ruka jumped up in the air. "Yay!" She shouted.

"Well, I think we can safely say the twins are ready to go." Aoi said.

"Ok, tell them they have 20 minutes to get here" Ashleigh yelled.
"Yahoo!!!!" Rua yelled happily, "I can't wait!"

Yugi chuckled on his end of the phone. "Let Ruka and Rua know they've got twenty minutes to get here." He said. "I'll be seeing you guys soon then. Later." And with that he hung up the call.

"Well, looks like Ruka's going to be in training in about twenty minutes." Aoi said, putting her phone away.

"Yes! Can't wait!" Rua said.

"There is another reason why I was about to be recruited to the federation" Ruby said as Yugi hanged up the phone.

"Great. Now, you two, get your things ready." Aoi said. "Or you won't be able to start your training."

---

"What was it?" Yugi asked.

"So what do we need to bring with us?" Rua asked.

---

"I was also a mage, training to be a soceress's" Ruby replied.

"The essentials, obviously; I can't say much in the way of clothes, I'm not a mage." Aoi replied. "And your decks would be helpful. Other than that, you're on your own."

---

"Seriously?!" Yugi blurted out. "That was why Max was trying to recruit you? You were in training to become a sorceress?"

"We could always ask one of the trio" Rua suggested.

---

"Exactly" Ruby said, "And I'm now after this training, going to be one of the magic angels, meaning I didn't loose my powers."

"So you'll be a mage and an angel? That sounds cool." Yugi said.

---

Ruka nodded. "Right," She said. She started out the door. "Either way, we'd better get started packing!"

"It is! So I be more of a tutor to the twins than Ashleigh be" Ruby said.

---

"Hey! Wait up!" Rua said and ran after Ruka.

Aoi smiled when she saw the two run out the door. "They're certainly enthusiastic." She said.

---

"I see," Yugi replied. "So you're going to train both twins?"

"Yes, since I know more about being a mage than Ashleigh does. And besides, she needs to focus on Yana with her powers" Ruby said.
"That sounds good" Ashleigh agreed.

Yugi nodded. "Yeah," he said. "I've got to get back to HQ before long so that I can continue Crow's training as well."

"Ok Yugi" Ashleigh said.
"Well, we better magic proof the living room" Ruby said, "care to help us Yugi?"

Yugi nodded. "Yeah," He replied.
