Froim: I didn't create the term Shadow Court and Shadow Mage. I found them when reading some Fan fictions, so I used them because I like them. Also, you might be bored about this, but this happened during the 5th Year – Order of the Phoenix. Oh, the Prologue and the chapter after that are the only chapters with title in this story, because I'm bad at giving chapter titles. Unless – of course – I got a sudden inspiration and decided to give the chapter a title.

Prologue

The Incoming of a Little Bump in the Road

One thing that Seto never liked about being a CEO was the business party.

Many people came into a business party, from the successful people with noble heart to a not really successful people with rotten heart. But there was something that topped even the worst bad mannered business, and that was the danger of assassination. In a room that was filled with many rich people and businessmen, someone could find their target easily. So if some evil CEO felt like hiring mercenary to kill their rivaling CEO, the mercenary only needed to come to a business party and they would find their target – along with the CEO of many other companies that could endanger said evil CEO's company. The mercenary could just sneak in, threw a bomb or becoming trigger happy, and there you have it – the CEOs were dead, and the mercenaries would just be passed off as a mere act of terrorist. Sure, the Polices would try to hunt down the mercenaries – thought of as terrorists – but it was very hard, and the rotten hearted CEO who hired them in the first place would be scot-free.

That reminded the blue eyed brunette 17 years old CEO of his adoptive father – Kaiba Gozaburou, which only added to his building annoyance.

Even more so when he was face to face with a masked person wearing all black, who was pointing a gun right on his face at the very moment.

That's right, people. He – the mighty Kaiba Seto, multibillionaire CEO of Kaiba Corporation – was currently facing a situation that was similar with what had just been explained less than a minute ago. Meaning, he attended a business party, only to be targeted by a mercenary.

"What, too scared to talk?" The mercenary mocked him.

That pulled Seto out of his inner monologue. "As if." He scoffed mockingly back at the guy, "I was just cheerfully ignoring you, and spend the time you're wasting – by standing there silently while pointing a gun at me without doing anything else that worth noticing – to rant in my mind." He sneered as he crossed his arms.

Not too far from him, Mokuba – who was watching the whole thing calmly – sweat dropped.

"Why you …!" The guy growled angrily at him.

"Oh, look." Seto smirked at the guy's anger – served him right for ruining his already annoying day, "The dog is growling".

The mercenary was about to pull the trigger, when he was suddenly thrown backwards by seemingly nothing – while in reality, it was Kisara – the Blue Eyes White Dragon that was currently accompanying Seto in human realm, while being shrouded in invisible spell so only those with Shadow Magic who could see her, and in a smaller form that was no bigger than a full grown horse so she wouldn't take too much space – who had grown bored of him and decided to just swatted him away with her tail like she normally did a fly. Again, served him right.

The good news was … the guy got knocked out as soon as he hit the wall on the far end of the hall. The bad news was … the guy had pulled his trigger as he was knocked backwards, and the bullet hit the hanging chandelier, causing it to fall. The even more bad news? Mokuba was standing right below the falling chandelier.

"Mokuba!" Seto called out as he ran over to his younger Brother, and Kisara flew over beside him.

Before he could even get to his Brother to protect him though, the chandelier stopped before it could even touched Mokuba's raised hands – the younger boy probably held out his hands with an intention of catching the fallen chandelier, since the thing wasn't that big until it could crush the boy to death. The most that the chandelier could do if it hit his Brother was causing scratched wounds here and there, but that was beside the point. The point was a chandelier – that previously was freefalling from the ceiling – was now floating in place right above his Brother's outstretched hands.

Sure, they both have seen stranger things happened, but it was never Mokuba who had caused it before – only the Item Bearers.

"What … the hell?" The raven haired boy asked as he – too – watched the floating chandelier with wide bluish grey eyes.

"Language, Mokuba." Seto scolded the boy, even though that was exactly was what in his mind at the moment as well.

What the hell that's happening exactly?

=Darling, I know that you might think that I'm joking, but I'm not. I really am stuck sitting on the middle of my bedroom wall sideways, and I don't know how to get myself to stand upright again!= Rebecca's voice rang out from the phone in the Game Shop – whining in frustration, =What's happening to me?=

"Calm down, Becky." Yugi said soothingly at her, "You're maybe using magic unconsciously now".

=How come I use magic?= Rebecca asked in confusion, =I mean, I don't have an Item with me, nor do I have any magical item like Dragon Card or anything else that could make me capable of using magic!=

"Calm down, Rebecca." Yugi repeated patiently, "Pegasus, Mai, and Otogi had called me at least once in the past few weeks, saying that they have done something strange. Although in Pegasus's case, he said regained his ability in reading people's mind, but it's on and off now following his mood. Ishizu also said that Rishid could use magic now, and Jii-chan, Jou, Shizuka, Anzu, and Honda had all found out that they could use magic as well. You're not alone in this, Becky, so calm down." He explained as he checked to see if his other half had woken up or not – he had – since Rebecca called him in the middle of the night. It was a good thing that the school was having a summer break now, so he didn't have school in the morning. "I will explain how you and the others can use magic later, but now Mou Hitori no Boku will giving you a crash course in using magic so you can get down from the wall. Alright?" He asked her gently.

"Alright." Rebecca answered, calmer now that she knew she could get unstuck from the wall.

Yugi then switched with Atem, who had been listening to the conversation after he heard Rebecca said the word 'Darling'. Seriously … he, Yami, and Yugi were dating now, but Rebecca still called Yugi 'Darling'. She said that it was because Yugi was a darling person though, and he knew that it was true, so there was nothing that he could do to make her stop.

"Alright, Rebecca." Atem began to say as he thought of how to tell Rebecca to connect with her magic, since they didn't have time for the girl to meditate, "First, in order to control your magic, you need to connect with it first. So close your eyes and empty your mind, then imagine yourself dive deep inside you until you saw a glimpse of light. The light could be white or dark purple, it depends on your magical attribute. Then, imagine yourself reaching out towards the light with your hand until you feel yourself warming up – or cooling off if your affinity is darkness, then tugged at the light towards yourself until it envelope you completely, but not drowning you." He explained the best that he could, and then proceed to wait, to see if the 12 years old could do it or not.

After a while, there was a relieved sigh from Rebecca. =Okay, I got the warm feeling, and now I felt like there's an invisible glow coming from me.= The girl reported.

"Good." Atem said with a relieved breathe, "Now, the Key in using Shadow Magic – whether your attribute is Light or Dark – is your Will, so think yourself floating away from the wall and will it. Slowly though, so you won't use too much of your magic, or you will be flung onto the opposite wall instead of floating slowly away".

=So, it's like pushing a gas pedal in a car?= Rebecca asked for confirmation, =If I push too little, the car won't move, but if I push too hard, the car will speed up too fast?=

"Yes, similar to that." Atem said in agreement.

=Okay.= Rebecca muttered before inhaling deeply, =Here we go.=

Another moment passed in silence, before there was a cheer from Rebecca's end of line, only to be followed by a yelp. =Owie.= Rebecca moaned in pain, =I managed to float away from the wall, but then I fell right after I let myself to celebrate it.=

Even from his place, Atem could see the girl pouted at the fact. "It's alright, you just need to train more." He told her gently, "It's better than being stuck on the wall, right?".

=I guess you're right.= Rebecca said in agreement, =Can I talk to Darling again now?=

"Sure." Atem said before switching place with Yugi again.

"Congratulation in connecting with your magic, Becky." Yugi congratulated her.

=Thank you, Darling~= Rebecca responded cheerfully, =So, can you tell me how come I can use magic out of the blue?=

"Not now." Yugi told her with a chuckle, "There's going to be a meeting in Kaiba Corp at 10 in the morning tomorrow. All of the others will be there as well, so I will explain everything in there".

=But I'm still in America!= Rebecca protested, =I won't get there in time for the meeting.=

"Don't worry, I will fetch you up through the Shadows." Yugi reassured her with a smile on his face, even though the girl couldn't see him, "You shouldn't have anything to do at that time, right?".

=No, it's going to be night time here, so I'm free to go.= Rebecca confirmed for him, =It's going to be a safe journey, right? I heard the Shadow Realm is a dangerous place.=

"The Monsters in the Shadow Realm won't attack you, Becky. Don't worry." Yugi corrected her patiently, since he understood the girl's worry, "Besides, your Monsters would be there to protect you in case one of the other Monsters feel like going into a fight".

=I can meet my own Monsters?! The ones in my Deck?!= Rebecca gasped out excitedly, =Oh! That's amazing! I can't wait to meet them!=

He chuckled at her enthusiasm, but he knew how her felt at the moment, so he understood. "See you tomorrow- err … tonight for you, I mean".

=See you later, Darling!= Rebecca answered cheerfully.

With that, Yugi put the phone back onto its place. He sighed, "I guess I have to be happy that I had two months of peace before this little trouble arrived." He said to himself, and chuckled when he heard the hummed of agreement in his mind. He shook his head and just headed back upstairs to sleep, knowing that they could take care of this new problem much easier than his previous adventures of saving the world.

Froim : So, this is the sequel of Shinigami Yugi. A little warning for the people who don't like reading a Fanfic that's too long, this is going to be a long one, since it's following HP book 5 – Order of the Phoenix – for the most part, but also being greatly altered since this is an AU. I hope you like it.
