Atem looks down at Cairo who is out cold in his arms as he walks with Mahad back home. What she did back there really shocked them both. They saw a side of Cairo that they have never seen before. It was like she was possessed by some sort of dark force. And how could she possibly perform magic at such a young age?

"Mahad…" Mahad looks over at him, waiting for him to continue. "How?"

"I'm just as confused as you are Atem. How a three year old can have all that energy stored inside is beyond me."

"What was that…monster that came out of her? It looked like a magician…but there was something about it…"
"I see what you mean. Unlike her, our magicians are good. But I sensed that magician was made of pure evil."

"So are you saying my daughter has an evil presence living within her?" Atem asks, whipping his head over to look at Mahad.

"Maybe…" They continue to walk down the sidewalk in silence, coming closer and closer up to the house. Atem lets out a long sigh. "Something on your mind?"

"In her hand…Cairo had a wand similar to Mana's. My question is how did she get her hands on it?"

"That, Atem, is a question that you will have to ask Mana about." Finally they reach the house and Atem turns to Mahad. There are still so many questions he would like to ask because Mahad probably knew better than anybody. But he figures that he should let Mahad go home and get some rest. "I will see you later Atem," says Mahad.

"Y-Yes…goodnight." And with that, Mahad departs as Atem walks into the house, locking the door behind him. He carries Cairo upstairs, washing her up before placing her in her pajamas and laying her to bed. He tucks her in and for awhile, he just watches her sleep. He thought he lost her back there but now he is just relieved to have her back home, safe and sound although her previous actions caught him off guard. He leans down and kisses her on the forehead before leaving to go to his bedroom.

Atem walks over to Mana, who is sleeping soundly and he sits down on the edge of the bed. He shakes her lightly to wake her up. Her eyes open and she immediately sits up when she sees Atem. "Atem you're back! Is Cairo--"

"Safe and sound. She's asleep now," he answers and she sighs in relief. "But I do have a question to ask you."

"Go ahead."

"Did you give her that wand?"

"No. Why?" Mana asks with a questionable look on her face.

"I was losing badly against Bakura and Cairo protected me using a wand similar to yours."

"Well I never gave it to her," says Mana. "I promised you that I wouldn't and I kept my word. But how did she get her hands on it?"

"That's what I want to know. But that's not all."

"Okay…"

"She was able to summon a ka, but not just an ordinary ka. It was evil."

"What? Are you saying that Cairo is…?"

"I don't know Mana. But we must keep a close eye on her."

1 week later--

Yugi and Atem sit on the couch in front of the television as they look over their daughters. Tea and Mana had gone out for a little while and the two brothers decided to watch over Yufi and Cairo together at Yugi's place. Atem crosses one leg over the other and folds his arms. He always sits like that while Yugi is slightly slouched back with an arm resting on the arm rest and his chin in his hand.

Yugi glances down at Cairo, who sits up against the couch, and then he turns his gaze over to his brother. "So you never told me what happened back there."

"You wouldn't believe me if I did," Atem says, keeping his eyes on the television.

"Come on. I'm all ears." Atem glances at Yugi before sighing softly and he starts to explain what had happened that night. The whole time, Yugi is edging in his seat and his eyes grow bigger and bigger with each passing minute.

"No way…" he says as Atem finishes his story.

"But this was no ordinary monster. It was evil," Atem explains. "And I'm starting to think that Cairo has something dark living inside her." He turns his gaze to Cairo and Yugi does as well. Ever since that day, she has been quiet and she seems distant all the time. Sometimes, she won't even respond to her parents calling her name.

"She does seem different," Yugi says, taking note of how she is acting. She and Yufi would always be playing around with each or fighting over a toy, but she isn't even doing that.

"Watch this." He looks down at her and calls her name a couple of times, but she does not respond. He then turns his head to his brother. "She would usually come to me like that," he says with a snap of his fingers.

"Try it again."

"Cairo," he calls once more. "Cairo, I'm calling you." Finally she stands up, turning to him, then she crawls onto his lap, curling up against him and leaning her head on his chest.

"Something really is wrong. Did you and Mana ever consider taking her to a doctor to get her checked out?"

"What could a doctor possibly do about her situation? Besides, if the words, 'real duel monsters' were said, we'd be in trouble. You know having duel discs aren't allowed anymore and I can see why. They're too dangerous."

"It's too bad Kaiba hasn't tried fixing those things so that we can go back to portable duels and not worry about sustaining real injuries from the duel monsters." The door opens and Tea and Mana walk in, closing the door behind them. Yufi immediately rushes up to her mom who picks her up and gives her a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey sweetie. How are you?" Tea asks her daughter.

"Fine!" Yufi replies happily. Atem hands Cairo over to Mana as he stands up, preparing to leave for the night. She leans her head on her mother's shoulder with a depressed look in her eyes and Tea looks at her worriedly, walking up to Mana while Yufi attempts to pull Cairo's hair.

"She's still not doing well, huh?" Tea asks and Mana shakes her head slowly.

"I'm really worried about her Tea."

"It'll be alright. Just give it more time and I'm sure things will get better." Mana and Atem say their good byes before getting in the car and going home. They go to Cairo's room to put her in bed, but Cairo wouldn't let go of her mother. She wraps her arms around Mana's neck, to keep from going down on the bed.

"Cairo…you have to go to bed," Mana says.

"No," she whines and she tries her best to keep from letting go. Mana looks to Atem for help and manages to pull Cairo off and he places her in bed, tucking her under the covers. Mana is the first to lean down to give her a kiss and then Atem. Cairo grabs his shirt, in attempt to keep him from going.

Atem shakes his head at her. "Cairo. Bed time." She slowly drops her hand and he flicks on her night light to hopefully make her feel better.

A dark figure staggers over toward an unsuspecting house late that night. He holds his side as he makes his way to a tree that is near a window. He looks up to the partially opened window and grins.

'That little girl will pay. I'll make her disappear forever.' He starts climbing up the tree, using all of his strength. 'She may know magic but I also have a couple of tricks up my sleeve.'

Cairo moves a little in her sleep before slowly opening her eyes. She sits up and rubs her tired eyes, looking toward the cracked open window. Her room is totally dark except for the half moon that shines through her window. The tree outside her window makes a creepy shadow on her wall, making her shiver a bit. Feeling a bit uneasy at the moment, she gets out the bed and heads to the door, wanting to be with her parents.

"Going somewhere?" asks a voice and she turns around to see Bakura coming in through her window. "I'm not through with you yet."

Atem and Mana's heads shoot up when they hear their daughter's screams. They jump out of bed and sprint to her room, opening the door to see Bakura, Cairo and a large portal in the middle of the room. Bakura has Cairo up by her shirt, about to throw her in.

"Bakura! Let her go!" Atem yells.

"Say goodbye to your precious daughter!" Bakura says and he begins to laugh. Atem narrows his eyes and charges up to him while he is distracted. He punches Bakura in the face, causing him to go back toward the portal and he drops Cairo on the floor. As he is falling though, he grabs Atem as well and pulls him inside with him before the portal closes completely.

"ATEM!" Mana cries with horror. She goes over to Cairo and picks her up in her in arms, holding her close as tears fall down her cheeks. 'He's gone…'

The end? Nope, I actually just decided to end it there for a sequel. Yugioh Monsters Alive: The Revenge. It probably won't be up until my fic, 'An Old Evil Returns' is done so until then…see ya…
