"The history of games goes back 5,000 years ago!" Solomon said as Joey was looking at the weird frog thing in his hand while mumbling under his breath as Bullet yawned at the talking before Madoka squeaked the toy bone in front of the puppy before the door opened and she got ready to greet the customer.

"Welcome!" She said with a smile as Bullet came with the toy bone in his mouth and wagging his tail before Joey came to play with the small Retriever. "H-Hello Madoka." the boy stuttered as Yugi recognized him. "Ah, Imori!" Then Solomon turned to his grandson with a confused look.

"You know him Yugi?" He asked as his grandson nodded. "Yup! He's in our class!" Madoka nodded before noticing the box in his arms as Amy hissed at the sight of it, Sasori retreated back to the corner and Bullet growling.

Just the look of it sent a really bad chill down her spine as the air around her grew dense and scary as Imori placed the jar down. "S-So, ummm, Kaname-Chan, ummm, I was hoping if you and I were to, you know...go out for a little date?" Imori asked as Madoka couldn't say anything else but deny.

"I'm sorry, but I'm with someone else. It was very sweet of you to ask, but maybe we could be friends." She said as Imori looked like he got his puppy kicked hard.

"O-Ok, anyway, I found this in the shed, my grandfather picked it up when he was in Manchuria during World War II. He was a game collector so I thought that Mr. Muto might know what it is so that's why I'm here." Imori explained as Yugi and Joey took a closer look while Bullet whimpered at it before running under the cabinet.

"DON'T OPEN THAT!!" Solomon yelled which startled them and it took all of Madoka not to drop the dishes as she set them down and walked over to see what was going on. "Sorry for yelling...but you mustn't break that seal!" Solomon warned as Madoka nodded.

"This is an ancient Chinese game called 'Dragon Cards'! I've heard rumors but this is the first time I've seen it...It's written that the Dragon Cards were used by a taoist master as a final test for Feng Shui students in China." Solomon said as Tèa thought about the different type of Feng Shui before Madoka explained it to her.

"Feng Shui is a form of magic that uses the energies of nature! It's been systematized since China's golden age, 4,000 years ago." Solomon said as Tèa began to ask a question. "Why were those Dragon Cards sealed away?" Tèa asked as Solomon continued explaining.

"There is a Chinese philosophy, the Onmyondo...that says everything is being part of the balance between 'Yin' and 'Yang'. In other words, 'Light' and 'Darkness'. These 'Dragon Cards' are a part of Yin! The seal surrounding the 'Dragon Cards' is Yang, creating a balance. If the seal on the 'Dragon Cards' was removed, Yin and Yang will get in conflict and have an impact on the balance!"

Everyone including Madoka was shocked at the whole explanation before Solomon turned to Imori while holding onto the jar. "Imori was it...? These 'Dragon Cards' were sealed away together with the powers of darkness...promise me! You must never remove the seal!" Solomon warned as Tèa spoke out loud in a serious matter about opening the seal but Joey told her no.

'Dragon Cards...I wonder what kind of game it is to play...' Yugi thought as Madoka noticed the dark smile on Imori's face which sent more chills down her spine.

'I have a really bad feeling about Imori.' Madoka thought as Imori left the game shop which left Madoka a sigh of relief as she saw Bullet come out whimpering along with Amy and Sasori as she knelt down to comfort them.

~~~Kyu~~~

A few days later at the pool, Madoka sat on the bench away from the pool while Bullet got loose from his leash and jumped into the pool and swam all the way to Joey who looked at the small dog and helped him back up on the ground before the dog jumped on him and swam after Yugi who tried to swim away before the dog grabbed his swim trunks before Madoka squealed the rubber ball which Bullet ran after the ball as Madoka threw the ball.

Bullet ran to the ball before running to Joey and barking at the teen with the ball in mouth before Joey chased the pup.

Soon, Madoka went to her locker and opened it to get her stuff only to find a piece of paper all folded up before unfolding it and reading it:

NOTICE ME.

Madoka was unsure of what she just read, barely making out the smudged red ink which she hopes was red ink as she dug around before feeling something wet and squishy...and...feathery...?

Madoka pulled her hand out and screamed when she pulled her stained items from the locker when she looked to see a dead headless bird and what looked to be the eyes were next to it along with the torn and squished inside of it.

Joey ran over to see the mangled corpse of the poor bird before grabbing a plastic bag and tossing the corpse of the bird into a trash bin where the rest of the students began to comfort Madoka for what she saw, whoever did this was going to pay dearly.

Madoka noticed that Yugi wasn't getting Millennium Puzzle, thinking of who did it, Madoka can only think back to Imori when he brought in those Dragon Cards and the dark feeling it gave off.

Madoka gulped and she told Yugi, she'll find his puzzle for him which made him smile a little as she searched the school for Room C which took a long time before she found the room, something within protected her from the suffocating darkness as she opened the door and to her surprise, Imori sat there at the desk wearing the Millennium Puzzle.

She was going to get the puzzle back and give it back to Yugi as quickly as possible before something could happen. Imori smiled but she glared at him for what he did, stealing the Millennium Puzzle had really crossed the line for her and Yami.

What seemed like hours from Imori talking, he removed the sealed and immediately, Madoka shielded herself from the amount of darkness that came pouring out of the jar before the stack of cards was in front of them as the game began, they both drew a card before Madoka remembered what Solomon said to her about the Dragon Cards, about the hidden element that caused the cards to be sealed up.

Madoka read the kanji on the card as it translated to "Air"and "Light" as she picked out four more which made Imori smirk.

'I studied every card in there, there's no way she could win this...wait...when did her eyes change color?' Imori noticed her different eye color before he picked out four more which gave him a smirk.

Before they knew what was going on, they placed down two dragons and discarded three to the side as they both summoned their dragons, one look at Madoka's dragons made Imori shocked at the two dragons he never saw in the deck.

'That's...That's impossible...those weren't in the deck!' Imori thought as the dragons he had backed down from the purity of the "Light" dragon and the "Air" dragon cocooning her with its wings.

"I see that you're scared, but now, I have to stop you from using the Dragon Cards." Madoka said as her dragons attacked and the darkness from Imori was sealed into the jar before the shadows were sealed away with the power from her.

Madoka still held the two Dragon Cards in her hand and unsure of what to do with them, she put them in her pockets as Imori woke up and with no memory of what happened when he saw the jar, both of them can agree to never open the jar again.

They went to bury the jar somewhere far away and no one could find it anymore, Imori apologized to Yugi about what happened and Yugi forgave him as Madoka gave the puzzle back and was relieved that she could hear Yami again.

She joined him inside the puzzle, began to talk about her day.

Yami couldn't help but smile at her when she handled two shadow games by herself as he placed the two dragon cards on the drawer.

Then Madoka went to bed thinking about those Dragon Cards she and Imori buried far away, she looked at her hand and then her old sketchbook filled with drawings as a single tear fell from her eye, she wasn't sure why she was crying.

~~~Kyu~~~

Kyoko walked down the sidewalk with Mami while holding their soul gems out and no pulse coming through. "Mami, there's no witches here and Kyubey is gone just when we have the questions for him." Kyoko said as Mami nodded which made her think back to the feelings of being watched and followed.

"Still, it doesn't cover the fact that we're being followed and watched by someone." Mami said as they walked down the street once more before passing by a small white cat with red beady eyes.

"Mokyu..."
