Serena looked over at him and said "I got Adam working on that right now...I might call in some back up as well...some guys I met in Europe a year ago" she looked around and said "do you see any of the others?"

Tristan nodded and looked back at Marik. "What happened back in the past with them?"

Yami nodded, having though looked around. He noticed a familiar brunette and black haired males. "Duke and Seto are coming. They look alright, no one seems to have followed them. I don't see Joey, Tristen, Marik and Odion. Probably are going as fast as Odion can. 'Cluding for what happened. Yugi made it to the building alright." Yami told her, watching Kaiba and Duke who were about a two blocks away.

Marik looked at Tristen having shifted a little to get somewhat comfortable while helping Odion. Having heard his question, Marik shook his head. "I do not know really, Ishizu and I were still looking for these answers. I do no know much beyond what Ishizu may know. That is probably they targeted her. She is much more knowledgeable within the histories of Egypt's history, stories and knowedge of the great pharaohs and the tragedies. I stuck to making sure secrets stayed secrets unless it was its time to be told. Serve and protect the pharaohs."

Serena nodded then looked at Yami. "What do you think we were to each other back then?"

Tristan nodded and said "I wonder if that guy in the hood has anything to do with all of this. Joey, you saw him right?"

Yami leaned against the wall as he watched Seto and Duke get closer, thinking about what Serena asked which after considering what he had seen based on these dreams that they have both had. "I cannot be too curtain as to what were back then. But from what I have gathered thus far, we were close childhood friends. Though what is your opinion on this matter?"

Joey shrugged. "Which guy? There were many of those creeps we have seen."

Serena thought and said "I'm not sure...I wish we knew more about the history..." She looked up then a thought hit her. "History...she would know the secret history...Yami, that's why they took Ishizu and not Marik. They want to know about your past. She knows everything about you...they could be looking for that Heart and Soul of the Pharaoh the Red Eyed God talked about"

Tristen looked at him and said "The one from last night. Serena said someone caught her in the backyard and you said it was some guy in a hood"

Yami bit his bottom lip a little, having not looked at Serena. "This thought had occurred to me as well. I only hope that Ishizu is strong enough by the time we find her and get to her." he had said with calm. However he was absolutely worried. By this time Kaiba seemed have noticed Yami who seemed to give a small motion of his head toward the building and Kaiba continued on with Duke who was toying with the pendant. "They are heading toward the building now." Mentioning about Seto. "Knowing Kaiba he may already have called his company to find Ishizu. May want Adam to look into Kaiba Corps systems to see if they have found anything."

Joey silently 'Oh'ed' at the mention of that hooded figure. "That guy. I dont know, maybe. I have no idea. Maybe you can ask him the next time I happen to spot him." Joey said with a slightly sarcastic tone, doubting he would see that hooded guy again. knowing his luck though, he would."

Serena nodded and texted Adam then said "Yami...we will find her, I swear it. I just..." She paused when something caught her eye. Or someone. A hooded figure was watching them from a few blocks away, his face hidden. Serena frowned and said "Yami...someone is watching us..."

Tristen glared at Joey and said "That's not helping Joey..." Odion sighed and said "Fighting will not help anything...just tell us everything you can about the person"

Yami nodded slowly when she was swearing that they would find Ishizu. He though looked around to see an out of place figure in a hood. He saw this figure looking at them. "See any others? What do you want to do, shifting a little, calm as he ever could be.

Joey raised his hands in surrender when Tristen was sounding pissed and Odion jumping on them both. Though shrugged to answer Odion's description of the man. "I dont know. It was a hooded figure that I saw next to Serena before she fell asleep. He took off and I had no way of following." Wheeler declared.

She shook her head and said "Just him...but he doesn't look like the others I have dealt with. I will see if I can get behind him, you stay here and keep him looking here. I might be able to get the jump on him and maybe we can get some answers..." She pulled her hood up and then paused by Yami. "I will be alright...don't worry" She then kissed him on the cheek then took off running, vanishing on the other end of the alleyway.

Odion looked at Marik then said "Tell me...what color were his robes? Were they black with gold trim?"

The pharaoh looked at the hooded man still, listening to Serena's plan. This though worried him seeing as he would not be able to watch her back if someone was to try and go after her. His thoughts were interrupted by Serena who came over beside him with her hood up. She glanced in her direction for a moment to her reassuring him that she would be okay. He had almost lost himself a moment for his cheeks had turned a light shade of pink when Serena had placed a kiss on his cheek. Yami though turned his attention back to the hooded figure, having twiddled with his puzzle, looking, glancing around here and there, keeping an eye on Joey and his group while trying to keep an eye on the hooded figure.

Joey took a moment, looking like he was thinking on this. "I think so. But I wasn't exactly looking at the colors of his clothes." Marik turned his head to face Odion. "What's up Odion?"

Odion said "your sister has speaking with a group that guard the secrets like us, but they protect those who were fated to protect the Pharoh. They are the Guard of the Lost. He may be one of them sent to watch over Serena"

Serena landed behind the figure, trying to stay quiet. She walked up and moved to tackle the man. But he suddenly vanished and Serena turned around, Yami seeing what happened. Then arms grabbed her from behind and pulled her back, a cloth over her mouth.

Marik looked away from Odion as he had heard this, though had had wondered where she had gone sometimes. Joey looked turned his head toward Odion with confusion. "Basically two sides of the same coin right?"

Yami watched Serena trying to sneak up on the man only to see him suddenly vanish of which Yami felt something was wrong. He moved from the alleyway and running as fast as he could only to see the man reappear but now blocked his view of Serena which made him worry all the more. "SERENA!" He called out as he ran, pushing his legs to go so far without having to rest despite his bodies demands. He feared of losing her, feared of losing the one person that he considered a close friend. One who needed help understanding the world that she had been brought into. "Let her go!!"

Odion nodded and said "indeed. They must have gotten word of Serena and sent an agent"

The man held her, cursing softly as he was laying her down. When he looked up and saw Yami he cursed again. "I thought she was one of them! Dang it all" he leaned her against the wall and pulled a vial from his pocket and opened it. He waved it under her nose. "This should help"

"Ah. Well. That's a good thing right? Do they only watch over her?" Wheeler asked.

When the pharaoh made it toward the hooded man and the passed out Serena. He had stopped a few feet from the man, cautious though out of breath for the most part. "Who are you and what are you doing to her?" He asked cautiously, trying to see by his actions and voice if he was that to harm them.

Odion shook his head and said "They watch over many that stand as the protections of the King...they didn't ever think the Guardian would come back if what I heard was right from your sister, Marik"

He looked up and paused, almost shocked. "Yami? Is that you? You got to be kidding...when I got the call I didn't think it was you they were talking about..." He reached up and pulled the hood down to show Alister, his short red hair now tied back into a small pony tail. He looked down at Serena and said "I thought she was one of the Brotherhood...they have been trying to tail us all week. When I saw it was her, I already had her out cold. I was called to tail her and keep her safe...but I didn't know you were with her too..."

Marik nodded slowly. "That would make sense since there were many Shadows that protected the Pharaoh as well as any we may not know about."

Crimson eyes looked shocked to hear and now see such a familiar face. He saw it was Alister, a friend he tried keeping up with, only having not heard from. Though hearing him out, Yami looked from Alister, now calm to looking at Serena. He walked over having knelt beside her unconscious form. "So you were the figure that Joey saw back at the shop a day ago. But I am very real, much has happened the last you saw Yugi and I. No matter, Serena was trying to figure out who you were which was why she tried to sneak up on you, having me as a distraction. We were watching for Joey, Tristen, Marik and Odion. The Brotherhood found us through Marik and Ishizu, having followed them. Ishizu was taken by them and we have been having to resort to finding somewhere temporary to stay to keep others safe. Serena and her friend were planning to find her so we could get her back from these creeps." Yami explained, though having just thought that maybe Alister knew some of this due to him watching Serena. However Yami had relaxed a little, he was tense, realizing also they now they were vulnerable. Focusing on Serena than their surrounding which made the pharaoh look around him.

Odion nodded as they reached the street and Tristen looked at his cell and said "That's the place up there"

Alister shook his head and said "I wasn't covering her till this morning, but it would explain why Raph had to take off suddenly. He was watching her the past few days. He must have gotten the call that the Tomb Keeper was missing and he called me to take over the watch" Serena stirred and he got up and said "I'll check and make sure we are really alone..." He walked over to the street and Serena fought to open her eyes.

Joey and Marik smiled a little, both obviously happy that they were close, but that didn't mean they could relax just yet.

Yami had not exactly expected to hear about Raph but having thought about that, he guessed that the three may have stayed together. Noticing that Serena was coming to, and Alister getting up, he looked up to Alister before he nodded to Alister seeing if they were truly alone. The Pharaoh stayed with Serena as she began to wake up. "Serena?" He called to her, moving over to sit next to her.

Tristen paused as a familiar face appeared from an alleyway and he said "Joey...is that guy who I think it is?"

Serena moaned then opened her eyes and saw him. "Yami...what...what happened?" Alister walked back over and said "Sorry about that Serena..." She blinked and said "Alister? What are you doing here?" He smirked and Serena cursed and said "you have to be kidding! You too?" He shrugged and said "Who do you think got your brother into all of this...wasn't just by chance. Raph and Allen are here too"

Yami smiled when she awoke only to hear Alister apologize to Serena when he returned. This confused Yami greatly as he had his head tilted slightly like he missed something completely. So he stayed silent, watching these events unfold. Having no idea what to say.

Joey stopped with a 'huh' as he tried to look around in the same direction of where Tristen was looking and had to quint his eyes. "Who? What guy?"
