the tournament was over they were just landing back in domino city. Christine had spent the rest of the tournament in her necklace. Not coming out for anything, despite Bella and the Pharaohs attempts of getting her to come out. Hell, even Bakura didn't manage to bring out the cold hearted woman, after his return from the shadow realm. That was what really had Bella worried.  

Bella's hair was put up in a messy look. She was currently wearing a white and gold outfit. 

There was a different air about her as though she was a different person

There was a different air about her as though she was a different person. She seemed more tense. Ready to get back to what ever she had been doing before she came here. She was walking away from the group with Bakura. She stopped and looked back at the group.

"Hey, mini Pharaoh." She called out, catching their attention. 

Yugi looked over. "Uh, yes?" he asked a little nervous. what did she want?

"He was wondering what the fight was about. Why she's so upset about it." she said.

"Yeah, what was that about?" Yugi asked perking up as it gained the Pharaoh's attention as well. finally an answer!

Bella looked hesitant. "She was fertile. I'm...not. Not really." she said before quickly walking away with Bakura, leaving the rest of the group alone. She hoped that would clear things up with the Pharaoh. Or at least make him less confused. Then again...it was the Pharaoh. 

"Say what now? Yug, what was that about?" Joey asked as they watched Bella and Bakura walking away with confused expressions. 

*Pharaoh?* Yugi asked.

*We were fighting over kids.* the Pharaoh spoke startled and confused. Yugi could feel the emotions rolling off him through their bond. 

*Looks that way. But what did she mean by she wasn't..not really?* Yugi replied watching as Bella and Bakura disappeared into the distance. He debated on weather or not to go after her, but he pushed it away as he heard his friends calling for him.

Later that night, Yugi was getting ready for bed when the Pharaoh appeared transparent sitting on the bed.

"I need to talk to her," he said "there must have been more to the story than just that." he said looking up at his counter part. As Yugi watched him, he noticed that the Pharaoh seemed rather anxious and restless.

"It's kinda late." Yugi said looking at the clock as he walked over to the bed and was about to sit down. 

"She is Bakura's sister I don't think time will be a problematic factor." the Pharaoh said. Yugi looked at the clock. He was right about that. Bakura was a night owl.

"Well, it is only eight." Yugi said as he sighed and walked over to his desk chair where his jacket was laying and picked it up. He pulled his jacket on and made his way to the front door. As he opened it he jumped startled seeing Bakura standing there.

"Bakura!? Is something wrong?" he asked as he calmed down. Worry now setting in. Did something happen? Was it Christine? Was she alright..or Bella?

"If you are going to talk to Christine it's too late. She's already gone." Bakura said flatly as he looked at Yugi. It was as though he knew exactly what they had been about to do. 

"Gone? Where?" Yugi asked tensing up. Panic set in. Where did she go? Was it too late? Was she in danger? How did Bakura know that they were going to go see her.

"Back home, she got on the plane this after noon after the tournament ended." Bakura replied. Yugi relaxed a little at his words but frowned. At least she wasn't in danger.

The Pharaoh took control. "Where does she live?" he asked more harshly than he had meant to.

"Quantico." Bakura replied with a shrug.

"Where is that?" The pharaoh asked puzzled. He had never heard of any town called Quantico. 

"The states, specifically Virginia." Bakura replied with a shrug as he grabbed hold of Yugis hand and wrote down something with a marker. "Well got to go. Got places to be, stuff to steal." he said capping the marker as he disappeared.

The Pharaoh looked around. "Thief," he muttered, letting Yugi back in control still grumbling about useless thieving spirits. 

"What now, Pharaoh?" Yugi asked looking over at the sulking spirit. He felt a little sorry for his friend. while looking at the numbers on his arm, confused. 

"Honestly...I don't know." The Pharaoh said in a whisper as he disappeared back into his soul room. She was gone, which meant there was no chance of seeing or talking to her again. "what are those numbers?" The Pharaoh questioned as he looked over at Yugi's arm. 

"not a clue" Yugi sighed unhappily knowing his friend was hurting. he went to bed and slept uneasy the whole night. Trying to think of some way to help the pharaoh.
