Chapter 1: ……my fair lady.

3,000 years ago in ancient Egypt…….

London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down,

London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady…

Deep in the castle of the pharaoh a small game chess was being played.

"Check." stated the girl. She gave a triumphant smile as she looked up to gaze at her opponent, her father.

"Not a bad move." He complemented. "However a gamer must always look for ways out of trouble because strategy isn't always what you need."

He moved a pawn into play defending his Queen once again putting back in the game.

"Ahh, no fair!" she whined. "I had you!"

"Relax Azra the games not over yet." He reminded.

"Hmm…" she sighed annoyingly as she studied the board once more.

Her father watched her closely admiring every aspect there was about her that reminded him of himself or her mother. He had no clue how long he had been like that until his daughter called out to him.

"Daddy…" she started.

He looked at her seeing that she hadn't moved her eyes from the game bored and answered for her to go on.

"Why do you have a different wife?" she asked reaching for her knight. "I know everyone tells me I'm too young to understand this because I'm only 6 but…" she moved her knight to a counter position to corner his queen. "Why can't we be a real family? Like the other children in the kingdom?"

He sighed unsure of how to answer his daughter's question.

"Things are…things are just a bit more difficult then you think dear."

Take the key and lock her up, lock her up, lock her up,

Take the key and lock her up, my fair lady…

Years later it's the same girl only older was sitting at a dining table. There were lots of delicious foods of all kinds surrounding her yet she paid no heed. Her eyes were blank and empty as if she had suffered a great deal in life.

Is this the same girl who looked so happy and cheerful when she was younger?

"You know Azra it wouldn't kill you to smile a little." stated a tall woman with short brown hair and blue eyes showing a mixture of love, hate, anger, and defeat.

The girl said nothing as she continued to stare off into nothingness ignoring all around her.

"I give up!" the woman sighed in defeat. "Yami you say something to her, she just won't listen to me."

Before he could speak the girl quickly arose from her seat and excused herself from the table.

"Azra you stop right there young lady!" he demanded sternly.

"Spsh, and since when did I have to listen to you or your so called wife!" she scuffed giving them both a side glanced glare.

"That's enough!" Yami yelled, but only to her retreating form as she left the dining hall. He stood and followed her out to the rose garden.

"Azra STOP!" he yelled a few feet away.

Tokyo's Tower's falling down, falling down, falling down,

Tokyo's Tower's falling down, my fair lady…

She fell on the ground covered in roses and wept. Her body trembled uncontrollably and she stayed on her hands and knees to try and control herself.

"What is the meaning of this? There is no excuse for your behavior back there towards your mother." He said sternly.

"That's not my mother!" she sobbed tears falling freely from her eyes. "She never will be!"

"My mother is sealed away….my baby brother was sent down the river…and it's because of you…sniff that I'll never see either of them again." She didn't have to yell, she didn't even have to look at him, but the pharaoh could tell just from the way that she said it that there was a venom in her heart that he placed there and may never be able to cure.

Take the key to Mount Fuji, Mount Fuji, Mount Fuji,

Take the key to Mount Fuji, my fair lady…

GAH!

Yugi awoken with a bolt and gasped for air in cold sweat; when he finally got a hold of himself he saw that it was due time for him to get up for school. But he couldn't shake the feeling that he somehow knew that girl, as if they had some sort of connection.

"Yugi." came a voice. "Are you alright?"

He turned toward the misty shadow of the Egyptian Pharaoh and shook his head while gazing at his millennium puzzle.

"I don't know." He admitted. "I had a weird dream last night and it seemed to be about your past. I wonder what could have triggered it?"

Silence.

"Yami?" he asked aloud, but received no response.

"Yugi!" came an elderly voice. "Are you up for school yet?"

"Yeah grandpa!" he replied.

"Well you better hurry up if you want to have breakfast this morning!" he called.

"Okay!" he shouted after him.

"Yami?" he tried again, but still no answer.

"Guess the shock must've gotten to him." he concluded, and finished his daily routine for school.
