A week transpired after what happened to Joey and Madoka was relieved that he was alright after receiving so much shock from the tazers and he recovered miraculously and quickly somehow, Madoka didn't know how he recovered so quickly but she was glad.

Madoka walked down the stairs only to jump when she heard Yugi's voice shouting in the kitchen as she raced to see Yugi reading the newspaper and Madoka got a look at the front page.

DOMINO UNIVERSITY ARCHAEOLOGICAL TEAM DISCOVERS TOMB FROM NEW KINGDOM ERA
(1580-1314 BC)

Madoka was impressed about the finding of artifacts and thought about what kind of artifacts before getting dressed for school and listened to her teachers talk about history, math problems, English assignments and all.

School was almost over and Madoka stayed behind to hear that they were going to the museum the next day before hearing Yami talk to her.

'What's the matter?' He asked through a link he established between them.

'Nothing much, we're going to a museum tomorrow.' She said as she and Yugi arrived at the Game Shop and got started on their homework before she flipped through her sketchbook, looking back at the old drawings she made before stopping at the key and scales.

Somehow, this feeling stuck to her, it felt cold and almost threatening to her as she felt a hand on her shoulder as she turned to see Yugi before she smiled and felt the feeling gone.

"It's alright, I was just going through my sketches." She said as Yugi looked over before he saw the one with the mirror turning into puzzle pieces, he was confused until he remembered one of the girls talking about a broken mirror in the bathroom.

"Well, we should get some rest for tomorrow, night Madoka." He said as she nodded before heading over to bed and turning the lights out and letting sleep take her.

~~~Kyu~~~

The next morning, Madoka got dressed into a small button-up shirt with a light blue overalls and plain sneakers instead of flats as she nodded at the mirror before heading out with Yugi and Solomon as they drove to the museum to meet up with their friends.

"Everyone's here!" Téa shouted as Madoka nodded before hearing Solomon speaking to himself.

"Actually, my friend was supposed to meet us here...let's wait a bit longer for him to get here." He said as Madoka nodded.

"Yugi, don't wear your school uniform on the weekends." Joey spoke to Yugi as Madoka turned her head to see Yugi wearing his school uniform on a weekend and she gave out a 'sweatdrop' at him before hearing another voice.

"Muto!" Madoka turned to see another man almost to be in his fifties as she smiled when Solomon introduced him to her and the others.

"This is Professor Yoshimori." Solomon introduced as Madoka gave a nod. "Whoa! So you're the guy who found the Pharaoh's Tomb!" Joey spoke up as Madoka giggled.

Another man walked up behind Yoshimori which made the others confused at his sudden appearance as Madoka cocked her head to the side in confusion before she heard his name, Kanekura before she saw him whisper something into Yoshimori's ear as he nodded.

"Muto...you told me your grandson and his friend solved the Millennium Puzzle...right?" He asked cautiously as Madoka flinched at the mention of her name.

'Great...he blabbed...' She thought as Yoshimori turned to Madoka and greeted her.

But a dark feeling came from Kanekura and the feeling stayed until they were allowed to look around the museum, and needless to say, Madoka was fascinated with all of the artifacts as she happen to walk by some flowers that she had never seen before, the flowers were almost like roses but had poinsettia petals, its beautiful shade of red at the tips and fading into the light pink, the shade of pink was almost matching hers.

'I've never seen these types of flowers before.' She thought as Yoshimori came up to look at the flowers as well. "Ah yes, the flowers." He said Madoka looked over to him before asking a question. "Are they new?" She asked as he shook his head before answering her.

"The people that helped with the excavation told us that a goddess descended down to Egypt and forgave the ones who committed such crime or sin and begged for forgiveness. Each time a person was forgiven, these flowers would bloom in a specific area." He said as she continued to look at the flowers before Joey showed up.

"These flowers must be ancient and strong enough to live this long." Joey said as Yugi nodded before Yoshimori continued the story.

"They also said that the goddess spilt her soul in half so one half would sleep and the other would roam around the world, spreading her forgiveness to those seeking her protection.They call them Millennium Roses." He said as Madoka nodded before she noticed Yugi feeling almost alone without the puzzle as she walked over to the mummy and noticed someone next to her, staring at the mummy and crying.

"Why are you crying?" She asked as the man turned to her and spoke.

"These tears are not mine...this shriveled form has become a doll of dust...but still he is the eternal pharaoh...his spirit lives on with his name. Even the eternal sleep is denied him...the soul of his becomes tears and flows down my cheeks." He said as Madoka looked over to the mummy and could feel his sadness.

"Heh. You're such a pure maiden so young to be involved in the way of darkness." He said as he walked off before she heard Joey call her over to take a picture with the puzzle, somehow, she didn't like Kanekura near the puzzle at all with another man until she heard them talking about selling it.
Shocked and almost angry, Madoka looked over to Kanekura and the man walked away from the puzzle as she looked away when Kanekura looked at her and she knew that he must've saw her looking at him or overheard their conversation.

'I have to get the puzzle before it's gone!' She thought as the day was almost over.

"Yugi, why don't I get the puzzle for you?" She offered as Yugi nodded his head and Madoka waited for the remaining thirty minutes of the time before the museum closes.

As Madoka waited outside of the museum, she never knew what happened inside the museum or what was going on.

~~~Kyu~~~

Kanekura sat alone in his office as he held the Millenium Puzzle in his hand as he talked to himself. "Heh heh heh...my investment funded the discovery of the Pharaoh's tomb...and now I can make some money on the Millennium Puzzle. Luck is with me!" He said before chuckling to himself.

Outside of his office, three knocks were heard as the man, Kanekura talked with was outside was once standing now dead on the floor as the familiar person that talked with Madoka walked inside instead of the man he talked with.

Kanekura looked shocked when he saw the Egyptian instead of the dealer he was supposed to meet with entered his office, he began sweating once he saw the Egyptian. "Wh...Who the hell are you?!" He shouted at the Egyptian as he opened his mouth and spoke.

"My bloodline has guarded the tombs for 3,000 years. I am a servant of Anubis." The man spoke, his voice was almost monotone, like the type of voice that people would speak if they were emotionless or if they mean business and never show it.

"A...A...Anubis?!" He shouted before he could think of anything else to say, he spoke without even thinking twice. "I get it! You're from the Egyptian government! I don't sell antiquities on the black market!" The Egyptian then spoke after Kanekura ended his ranting.

"Because of your greed, another tomb in the valley has been defiled. You have trespassed in the territory of gods. For that, you will go on trial!"

Than he placed his scale on the desk as he reached up to grab the feather on his turban before he spoke up again.

"You know the scene of the final judgement in the 125th chapter of what you call the book of the dead. This is the scales of truth!"

Kanekura then began thinking in his head, thoughts were running through and he knew that all of what he's going through could be a myth, but he was wrong.

Then the Egyptian spoke out loud breaking Kanekura from his thoughts. "We now begin the game! The Shadow Game!" Then, he placed the feather on one side of the scales before speaking again.

"On this side of the scales, I place the feather of Ma'at...as you see, the scales are now balanced...I will ask you several questions. If you do not tell the truth, the other side will grow heavy...with the weight of your crimes." The Egyptian said his voice now growing dark as he spoke again.

"If that side of the scales should touch the ground...the penalty game of death awaits you." He said as the game began.

"Then the first question...a young girl falls into a deep well. You are the only one to see it happen. However, at your feet lies the golden ring the girl was wearing...what do you do?" He asked as Kanekura began sweating so much like he would if it was summer time, then he began to shout his answer.

"I save her! I save the little girl!" He shouted as he saw the empty side of the scale began moving down inch by inch.

"Wh-What?! But I'm telling the truth!! Errg..." He said as more sweat began rolling down the side of his face and the sound of his heart pounding began to fill his ears before he heard the Egyptian spoke up. "Next question..."

~~~Kyu~~~

Outside of the museum, Madoka waited before checking the time on her phone as it read 4:55, it was almost time for the museum to close as she moved from her spot and placed her phone back into the back pocket.

"Okay, the museum is about to close. Time to get the puzzle back." She said as she entered the museum before feeling the familiar chill of a Shadow Game.

"Oh no..." She whispered before walking quickly as she can but quietly.

~~~Kyu~~~

The empty scale was almost touching the desk, just by only five inches and Kanekura was sweating so much, it stained the collar of his suit, making the light gray color darker. "Wh...Why? I'm not lying! How is the plate sinking without anything in it? This has to be some kind of trick! What the hell is the penalty game?!" He asked the Egyptian as he spoke up.

"Very well...before the last question, I'll tell you about the penalty game...it awaits within your heart..." He said as Kanekura turned around to see it but it was nowhere to be seen...until he felt his chair changing...

The chair began to morph into something, the leather was now disgusting and almost resembles skin when it reaches to a third degree burn, eyes began to move out of the back of it and strong menacing claws began to trap his wrists with immense strength, drool began to pour onto his face as the low growling of the creature as its crocodile-like mouth had a nasty scent of rotten flesh and mold mixed into blood, its beady eyes were locked onto its victim.

The Egyptian showed no fear when the creature emerged and spoke up. "This is Ammit. The monster that has taken up residence in the room of your soul...then the last question...have you defiled the territory of the gods and sold their treasure to fatten your own pockets?" He asked Kanekura, knowing that was the last straw...

"S-STOP!! STOP!! I'LL PAY ANYTHING!! HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT?!!" Kanekura shouted at the top of his lungs as the bottom of the empty side of the scales dropped and touched the top of the desk.
Kanekura's fate...was sealed...

"There is no truth in the room of your soul. There is only greed. Therefore, you will be punished." The Egyptian said as he watched Kanekura meet his fate.

The jaws of Ammit loomed over Kanekura as its bottom jaw had the back of his head trapped with the top jaw was wide open and then the next thing he knew...the jaw slammed down onto his neck as his body went limp and died.

The Egyptian had no emotion on his face when he saw the man dead to Ammit and his soul gone.

"Everyone has a room of the soul...my Millennium Key can open the door.The room of your soul is filled with the decaying scent of money and greed.
Monsters like Ammit enjoy making their homes there. You will be eaten alive by the illusion born of your own crimes!" He said as he was about to walk out of the quiet office but not before looking over his shoulder to see the completed Millennium Puzzle.

'Th...This is the Millennium Puzzle!! And in its completed form...! In three thousand years, it hasn't been solved once...! Why is it here?!! Does it mean that someone here in this country has solved the puzzle?! Who in the world could it be...?!' He thought to himself as he exited the office.

~~~Kyu~~~

"Man, this museum is like a maze. I know Mr. Kanekura has the puzzle, I can feel it." Madoka said as she stopped walking when she saw the same Egyptian that was talking to her about the mummy.
'Ah...! The man from before...!' She thought before she felt the chill go away before getting a feeling in her gut that this man was no ordinary man.

"U-um, I hope I would have a moment of your time sir?" She asked politely as the man looked at her.
'Such a kind girl, a moment would do.' He thought as he nodded. "I was wondering if you saw my friend's puzzle. It's shaped like an upside down pyramid." She said describing the puzzle.

'I-...Impossible...this girl and her friend...no...!' He thought with a face of pure shock as Madoka took a step back before the Egyptian notice. 'The one who solves the Millennium Puzzle gains great power...the same power as my bloodline...! If so...then this girl and her friend...' He thought before looking at her like he was studying an exoctic plant.

"Is everything alright?" She asked as she saw the ankh shaped key and the scales, the sudden thought of her sketchbook and the page containing the picture of it brought her defense up.

'I have to make sure! I must know if this girl or her friend have the power! I will use the Millennium Key to look into the room of her soul!' He thought as Madoka saw him grasp the key hanging around his neck.

Before she could do anything else, she heard an audible click like a door opening.

~~~Kyu~~~

The man saw within one of her "rooms" that it was completely pure white with glass pillars holding the ceiling up, her sketchbook open and colored pencils scattered onto the queen sized bed, the same type of flowers, the Millennium Roses, placed onto long vines as blue butterflies fluttered around them before he heard a small meow.

He looked down to see Amy meowing at him while Sasori was on the black kitten's back before hissing at him and running over to the other room.

The ribbon encased door was the same, pure white walls, glass pillars, a queen sized bed and the same roses in the room only one thing was different, there in the bed laid a goddess that looked like Madoka, sleeping peacefully.

His eyes widened at the sight of the goddess, this was the goddess that lived in the stories he heard from his bloodline, the same goddess who split her soul in half.

"Step away from that door." A deep baritone voice brought him to turn around to see a boy with crazy hair and holding Amy in one hand as she hissed at the strange man entering her mistress's domain.
Sasori was making threatening clicking sounds at him but the man was unfazed at the scorpling trying its best to get the man away from the door.

Yami's crimson eyes were almost glowing with rage at the man who dared to peek into Madoka's mind and soul.

"Come in if you dare. A game awaits you!" He said as the man stepped into the dark room and Yami spoke once more.

"This is where we'll play our game!" He spoke out loud as Amy jumped down from his arms and transformed into a panther with a beautiful black coat of fur and long sharp white fangs.

Sasori grew a little bigger and hissed at the man who backed away as Yami chuckled before petting Amy on the head and patting Sasori's golden stinger to reassure them.

"Now now, no need to bare your fangs at him, you two should go see if Madoka is alright." Yami said as they walked out of the room and to the ribbon sealed door.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid? Show some courage!" Yami taunted the man in front of him as he walked inside the dark room while thinking thoroughly.

'I have visited the rooms of many peoples' souls in the past...they may have different decorations and furnishing, but always there is only one room...!' He thought before he stole a glance around the room.

'But what is this room that appeared in this young girl's soul...it is dark...and cold...like the tomb of a pharaoh in ancient Egypt...!!!' The man thought as the torches hanging in the stone walls of Yami's room lit up with a snap of his fingers as Yami spoke up to Egyptian in front of him as he held a flower similar to the ones in Madoka's soul room.

"I don't know what power you used to enter here...but you better explain yourself why you're here." Yami said in a low voice before setting the flower on a pedestal as it flourished beautiful green vines on the pedestal.

The man had no emotion on his face before his opened mouth to speak. "Heh heh...from your perspective, I am an unwanted guest...answering that question is the least I can do." He said in the exact emotionless tone he spoke when he was with Kanekura before his death.

Yami gave a bored look at the man before he spoke up again.

"I came to discover the secret of the power of your Millennium Puzzle." He said which changed Yami's expression to have a hint of shock written over the bored look.

"So you know the existence of the Millennium Puzzle..." Yami said trying not to sound shocked or the fact he was getting nervous that someone knows the Millennium Puzzle other than him, Madoka and his host Yugi.

"Yes, I know. Also that it is one of the Millennium Items...the story of the Millennium Items has been passed down from ancient Egypt...3,000 years ago in the valley of the kings. They were made 'to punish thieves who defiled the tombs of the pharaohs and steal their treasures' by the magicians who served the ancient pharaohs. So it is written in the Pert Em Hru..." The man said as Yami raised an eyebrow at the men in front of him.

"So you came here with a Millennium Item...?" Yami asked the man as he nodded.

"The power of the Millennium Key! This key opens the door to one's soul...in the room of the soul, one discovers everything about a person...who they are, what they love, what they fear...even what they themselves do not know. And one more: the Millennium Scales. They weigh the sins of a person on trial! These are the two that I possess." He said as he continued speaking to the spirit of the puzzle.

"But I don't know the power of the Millennium Puzzle or how to restore the goddess to her former self. I don't know what power is bestowed upon this girl or the person who completed it...because it has never been solved." He said as Yami thought back to Madoka, her body must be asleep and she must be as well.

"And so to find out...you entered her soul..." Yami growled before he felt her enter her soul room and had to keep his cool.

"If I can see a person's 'room'...I can see what kind of power they possess. That is what I came to discover. And if that power is needed...I will draw it into my bloodline...starting with this girl..." The man said as Yami grew angry at the man standing before him, he was going to use Madoka's hidden power for this man's bloodline.

"This power you speak of does rest in my room. However...I can't let you see it that easily! You know the routine...this is a game!! A Shadow Game!!!" Yami said to the man, he needed to buy some time for him to get Madoka out of her soul room to him safely.

Until he heard the type of power the man had. "Heh heh...I forgot to tell you about one other power I have. When I enter the room of someone's soul, I can 'redecorate' and control that person at will. I can even destroy their personality. Heh heh..."

That really got Yami worried for Madoka, he wouldn't want his lovely flower to be gone of her sweet personality.

"I accept your game! And I will find the true room of your soul!" The man said as Yami began to chuckle at him.

"Heh heh heh...don't think it's that easy...this game is more dangerous than you know!" Yami said as the more torches lit up the room revealing more stairs and doors almost like it was from a painting by MC. Esher.

'Is this...a maze?!' The man thought as he heard Yami shouting.

"GAME START!"

'This room within this girl is truly a labyrinth of the soul!!' He thought as yami disappeared out of the room to run to Madoka's soul room, he opened the door to see her on the bed holding Amy as he walked over and grabbed her hand before running to his soul room where Madoka began to have thoughts running through, trying to process what was going on until Yami led her to his bedroom and he sat her down.

"Listen carefully Madoka, the man you met earlier is challenged to my shadow game, his other power with the key could destroy you!" He said as Madoka nodded as Amy meowed and stayed with Madoka as she waited for the game to end.

~~~Kyu~~~

The Egyptian came across the last door as he turned the knob to see Yami petting Amy, who was resting on the armrest of the stone chair Yami was sitting on as she hissed at the man.

"Heh." Yami gave out a chuckle as Amy continued growling and hissing at the man who had stepped into a trap and was holding onto the ground with the strength he had as Yami walked over and Amy jumped off of his lap and glared at the man.

"Shall I push you in...? Heh heh heh...or shall I let Amy claw your hand...? Heh heh heh..." Yami said out loud before letting his hand out for the man reach out.

"Heh heh...it's all right. My hand isn't a trap." Yami said as the man grasped onto his hand and pulled him back up onto the ground.

"I had never imagined that you would save me...if indeed it is the same you..." The man said as Yami spoke up after the man spoke.

"I don't like your hobby of peeking into people's souls, especially a girl! You better leave right now!" Yami said as the man stood up and walked to the door where he entered through when he began the shadow game.

"So I have lost this game..." The man said as Yami stared at him before speaking. "No...this is just the beginning." Yami said to him as Amy hissed again as the man spoke in an emotionless tone and didn't turn back to face Yami.

"Yes...you're right...farewell..." And with that, he left and his body collapsed onto one knee as Madoka stumbled back before gaining her balance back as she stared at the Egyptian who was now sweating at the entire event that had happened.

"Are you alright? You look pale!" She said after she remembered Yami's words and she was careful of what might happen next.

"Yes...I'm alright..." He said as Madoka still had her guard up and waited for something to happen as he stood up and looked at her with a kind smile.

"You are a strange girl...oh I almost forgot...if I'm not mistaken...this must belong to your friend..." He held out a golden upside down pyramid as Madoka smiled at the familiarity of the puzzle as she took the puzzle into her hands.

"Thank you!" She thanked him, the warm familiar feeling from the puzzle as the man stood there before she could do or say anything else, the man spoke to her. "Girl...what is your name...?" He asked wanting to know the name of the pure maiden before him.

"My name is Madoka Kaname." She spoke loudly enough for the man to hear as he placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Madoka...you are a pure girl, stay pure, banish those who defile your friends...and never forget your other self..." He said as he began walking off before telling his name.

"My name is Shadi, never forget it pure maiden." Shadi walked out of the museum as Madoka walked out after him and back to the game shop where she gave Yugi's puzzle back to him and began to go through her sketchbook and found one of her with wings and flying down with Téa in her arms.

'Something...is going to happen...that would make me save Téa from this height...I just know it...!' She thought as she closed the sketchbook and placed it in her book bag, before she turned out the light leaving the room pitchblack, except for the moon shining its light through the windows.
