Chapter One – Nightmare Memories
"Open this door at once!"
Yami awoke with a startle when he heard a loud banging on the golden door to his quarters. His wife sat up beside him, clutching the thin white sheets close to her naked body.
"Pharaoh Yami, open this door!" the voice echoed louder.
Yami's wife put her arms around him, terrified at the noise.
"Yami, what is happening?" she whispered.
"It's alright, my love, be silent", he said, stroking her waist length black hair, "Stay here. I will see what all this noise is about, don't you worry".
He kissed her lightly on the forehead and then got up, covering his naked form with a long, navy blue robe that dragged along the ground. The banging continued as he approached the door clutching the Millennium Puzzle that hung around his neck.
"I'm coming!" he shouted, slowly becoming annoyed.
He opened the huge engraved gold doors to find three men standing there all in hooded black capes. The leader had a few gold chains around the neck and waist of his cape. Yami frowned.
"What is the meaning of this? Do you have a good reason?" he demanded, leering at them.
One of the men grabbed Yami's arms and locked them behind his back while the other pushed the doors open wider and strode up to Yami's wife, gagged her and bound her hands behind her back before bundling her up in the white sheets and carrying her out.
"What are you doing, leave me be!" Yami demanded and he watched his wife being carried away, "Kanika!! Put her down, leave her out of this!!"
"I apologies, Pharaoh, but Master Zali requests both of your presence so we must bring you both to him", the leader said flatly.
Then the three men lead Yami and Kanika away to Zali's hall.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------
"Argh, un-hand me!!" Yami shouted when they entered Zali's room.
The man laughed and pushed him to the ground while the other dropped Kanika on the floor. She whimpered a little from the pain of the fall that went through her spine. Yami crawled over to her and un-bound her hands than took the gag off her.
"Yami, I'm afraid", she wept, holding onto him tightly.
"Shh, you will be alright", he assured her, holding her close.
Then they heard a large door opening and closing at the far end of the hall. A tall man with a long black ponytail on the left side of his head stood by the door, wearing the same cape that the kid-nappers wore. He also wore a gold headband around his bald head, which was decorated with ruby and emerald jewels. He began to approach a slightly raised platform in the centre of the room while the thugs forced Yami and Kanika to move to the platform as well.
"Welcome to my domain, young Pharaoh", the man said in a husky voice, "I am Zali. It is a pleasure you could come".
"What is this all about, Zali?" Yami asked, holding Kanika close, "Couldn't this have waited till the morning?"
"No, you foolish man, it cannot! I have called for you because of one reason!" Zali explained, pointing at him and glaring, "You, my Pharaoh, have something that I want – give me your Puzzle! I want the Millennium Puzzle and Circlet!"
Yami growled deep in his throat, holding the chain on his item tightly. Zali shook his head sadly and snapped his fingers, which prompted two of the men to split Yami and Kanika up. Then the leader pulled the Puzzle over Yami's head and then the Circlet from the top of Kanika's head, he then gave the items to Zali.
"No, my Millennium Puzzle!" Yami cried, gritting his teeth.
"These items are mine now!" Zali laughed, "Now my Pharaoh, I must send you away".
"What do you mean?" Yami yelled.
Zali smirked. He then opened the top of the Puzzle and a strange pale green glow emitted from the opening, also a peculiar humming. Yami frowned, wondering what Zali was up too – he had never seen this man before so he wasn't sure why Zali was doing this. Yami could hear Kanika yelling at the man holding her nearby.
"I'll tell you why I am doing this, you fool!" Zali shouted, reading from Yami's mind, "Because I want to get rid of you and rule in your place!"
He held up the Puzzle and Circle.
"And I will have the power of the Pharaoh while I'm doing it!" he laughed evilly.
Yami gasped at hearing Zali's evil plans. He tried to pull away when Zali placed a hand on Yami's forehead and began chanting an Ancient verse. The young Pharaoh could feel himself getting weaker until finally his spirit was lifted from his body completely and transferred into the Puzzle. The lifeless body of Yami collapsed on the floor with a blank face, eyes rolled back. Kanika cried out to her husband, tears streaming down her cheeks but Yami didn't move.
"Zali, how could you?!" she cried, looking at him, "What do you have against Yami that results in doing this?"
"Pure lust for power, my Queen", Zali sighed happily.
Kanika felt rage build up inside of her. She then bit down hard on her captors arm and while he was sulking over it Kanika charged at Zali and pushed him, sending the Puzzle flying off to the side. On impact to the floor, the item crumbled into pieces with the sound of glass shattering ...

Kanika-Isis: All right, now this is my first YuGiOh fanfic so go easy. If some things sound OOC then that's my problem, okay? And I don't own YuGiOh, otherwise I would publish this story as a graphic novel ^_^ I'll post the next chapter when I get the chance to type it.
Yami: Looking forward to it ^_^
