Yes, it's a new story and no, your eyes aren't failing you. First of all, I need everybody to give great support of this or I probably won't finish it due to lack of interest or no one usually cares that greatly of it. Anyways, enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh and if I did, Yami and Yugi would be together and there would be many of yaoi scenes!

Yuugi Mutou stared up at the star-filled sky, still recovering from his dream. It had been so strange and frightening; he didn't know what to think about it. He shivered a little and pulled the blanket on him closer. It was very cold when he had woken up.

He kept staring when the black sky when he saw one star go out. He thought it was just his eyes but he swore that one star did, but he didn't pay too much attention. Why worry about stars?

Yuugi sighed and leaned against the wall, closing his eyes. Everything had been so…confusing lately. Things he had done so regularly felt like he was doing them for the first time. Clumsy and resulting in either failure or pain or both. And everyone else was acting weird too. His grandpa had been oddly quiet and he barely saw him. Anzu had become very more irritable and usually ended up stomped away from a conversation over nothing. Jounouchi had been the only one not to really change and he was grateful for that. He couldn't live with all of them weird.

Without even wanting to, he recalled back to his dream. It was confusing as well and his other dreams have of course been difficult to understand but this one outdid them all.

-Flashback-

Yuugi stumbled around in pure darkness. He gulped as he moved around blindly. It was the darkness and the fear of something lying in it that had him so scared.

'What is this place? This can't be real…' Yuugi thought to himself, stopping. Where was there to go if he couldn't see where he was going? He crossed his hands and put them in front of his mouth, nervously. What if he never got out of this endless darkness?

And just when he thought everything was lost, the darkness went away to be replaced with bright light. Yuugi had to shield his eyes until he could get used to the light and even then, it was still very bright.

'What is going on?' Yuugi thought before he was thrust into more blinding light.

When he finally was able to see clearly, he was in his living room with Jou, Anzu, and Honda. They were all silent and at different parts of the room. He went up to Jou first to ask him what was going on.

"Hey Jou, have any idea why it's so quiet?" Yuugi asked but Jou stayed silent for a few seconds before he spoke.

"What's the most important to you?" Jou asked, not even responding to Yuugi's previous question. Yuugi didn't have a clue why Jou asked that, maybe it was a game of some sort. If it was, then he would play. He could never turn down a game.

"Friendship." Yuugi answered without hesitation. When he had met his friends, life became so much better. It was very precious to him.

"Is friendship that great?" Jou answered before looking away, giving the silent signal that he was done talking. Yuugi felt a little hurt that Jou could brush it over like that so quickly, but it had to be a part of the game so he ignored it…as best as he could.

Next, he went to Honda. Just as he was going to talk, Honda interrupted him.

"What do you want to do in life?" Honda asked and Yuugi thought over this one. He didn't really know, I mean, who could really know? He thought over his answer for a few moments before responding.

"I guess…to find that special someone." Yes, he was got a little romantic but he truly wanted to find that one person who he would look forward to everyday and love with all his heart.

"Finding someone special, huh? You sure about that?" Honda said before giving the same signal Jou had. Whatever this game was, it was weird.

But last now was Anzu. He could only wonder what she would ask him. After being asked what was important to him and what he wanted in life, it was very hard to guess.

"Okay, now your turn." Yuugi smiled at Anzu, he knew what was coming.

"What do you fear most?" Anzu asked and Yuugi's eyes widened and he lost his smile. That was a tough one. How was he supposed to answer that one? He was afraid of many things, but she probably meant what feared him most.

"Um…" Yuugi was at a loss for words. He didn't know what scared him most. Sure, he was scared by simple, stupid things but those things hardly qualififed.

"I fear…actually, I don't know what I fear most." He truly did. When he knew nothing, it scared him. So even now, he was pretty scared.

"The unknown, huh? You may realize your fear sooner than expected Anzu replied and before Yuugi could blink, his world became a painful bright light again.

Whatever happened after that, Yuugi couldn't remember. But that dream just…he didn't know how to explain it because he was so frustrated. He hadn't been able to go back to sleep and it was still pretty late. It would be a couple more hours until morning came.

He needed to do something to occupy himself with. He knew just staying here like this was peaceful but would soon give way to boredom. Boredom that he knew would still not let him sleep.

After a few minutes of considering options, Yuugi finally agreed with himself to go for a walk outside. He put on warmer clothing and went downstairs, very quietly. He went to the front door, put on his shoes and jacket, and stepped out the door, shutting it gently.

The only real sources of light were the street lamps on every corner and maybe sometimes in the middle of the sidewalk. Yuugi shoved his hands into his pockets and started walking. Sadly, all this walk really did was having him think of things…like in the window but now his legs were moving.

He shook his head in an attempt to get rid of thoughts…sadly, it didn't work. He sighed in frustration. He kicked a rock laying innocently on the sidewalk. Even though he had barely begun, this walk was truly helping. But, it did give him something to do at least.

Yuugi rose his head to the sky to see another star go out. What was the matter with those stars? It had to be very rare for one, now two, stars to go out all in one night. But, once again, he lost interest very quickly.

Yuugi had no choice but to reflect while he continued his walk. He wondered again why things and people were acting very weird. Was it because of him? What had he done to deserve it?

Yuugi was lost deep in thought that he hadn't noticed that he had stopped walking. When he finally did notice, he had stopped in front of an alleyway that was extremely dark. He decided to stay away from it. Never was he too fond of alleys, he always got beat up there. But only as soon as he started to move away, he swore he saw something move in there.

He was torn in two, decided what he should do. Who knew what was in there if anything was? It could be someone he would have to result in being extremely sore the next morning…if that person wasn't a killer.

Despite his overactive imagination, his curiosity got the better of him and he stepped into the dark alley. He checked around to see something, anything at all. Yuugi walked around before hitting something that gave a loud groan in protest. Yuugi shakily sat down, not knowing for sure when the ground came.

"Hello?" Yuugi asked weakly once sitting down.

"Em hotep?(1)" Another voice said, very close.

Yuugi had absolutely no idea what the other just said, it was another language.

"Sorry, I speak Japanese. Do you?" Yuugi asked again.

The other didn't respond back so Yuugi took it as a no. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

Atemu looked at the strange boy in front of him. How in the world he got here, he had no idea. And the first thing he had seen here besides darkness was this remarkably similar boy with very different clothing.

"Who are you?" Atemu demanded and the boy looked at him with confusion written all over his face. How stupid could he be?

"Who in the hell are you!" Atemu rose his voice and the small boy flinched. Atemu really didn't care. He wanted to go back to his home and this place was not it.

"Gomen nasai, wakaranai desu!(2) The smaller boy replied and Atemu mentally hit himself on the head. This boy was speaking another language, so it was going to get him nowhere…unless he acted like a child in trying to understand…it was worth a shot anyways,

Atemu pointed at himself. "Atemu." He did it once again before pointing at the boy, hoping he would catch on. He did another time before the boy caught on.

"Yuugi." The boy smiled and Atemu confirmed it by doing it again. If it took him that long just to know the other's name, communicating would be difficult.

Atemu leaned against the wall and pushed himself up. Yuugi got up a little shakier, not being able to see a thing. Atemu had since he had gotten used to it.

"I have no idea where I am, so I'm staying with you." Atemu stated and really didn't expect an answer. But it seemed Yuugi already understood, he walked out of the alley, signaling Atemu to come with him. Maybe Yuugi already had the same idea he had…

He hated not knowing anything. As Pharaoh, he knew everything back in Kemet but now…he was forced to follow a little boy.

Atemu walked by Yuugi, not behind. If he was made to follow him, at least others wouldn't know. Even if there were no others around.

Yuugi stopped at a very strange building of what it was made of, Atemu had no clue. Still, Yuugi went in anyways so Atemu did too.

Sugoruku Mutou was sitting on the living room couch, working on a very hard puzzle that he started working on in his bedroom but ended up in there. He lifted his head for a moment to see Yuugi...and other boy walk in.

He studied the other boy to find him very alike to Yuugi save a little wilder hair and the sharp crimson eyes. He found it a little easier to look at Yuugi than this boy.

"Grandpa, can you be a translator for me? This is Atemu and he speaksEgyptian. Can you understand him?" Yuugi asked and Sugoruku's eyes widened in interest. He nodded and focused on Atemu.

"Is this the correct language for you?" Sugoruku asked Atemu and Atemu was very surprised at this.

"Finally, someone who knows my tongue. Would you please tell me where I happen to be?"

"You are in Domino, Japan. How did you get here if you don't know where you are?"

"How I got here is no concern of you but I have never heard of this Domino, Japan. Is it close to Kemet?"

"Kemet? My dear boy, there is no Kemet. Now it is called Egypt. Did you hit your head hard?"

"First of all, I am not a boy but a man. The Pharaoh even. And you are the one who has hit their head. The name for my kingdom is Kemet not of this Egypt you speak of."

"You must be thinking of the past. Get it modern times, 'Pharaoh' for if you don't your time will leave you."

"Stop talking in riddles and give me straight answers!" Atemu was getting impatient of the old man. His mind must have been corrupted.

"These are straight answers so do not raise your voice in my house."

"I may do so as I please to. You have no order over me."

"While your in my house with my grandson, I do have power."

"I do not have time for this, my kingdom is in danger and I must return. I'll find someone else who can help me besides you!" With that, Atemu stomped off.

Yuugi wasn't that dumb to figure out that both had just finished a fight. He followed after Atemu, trying to get him to calm down from that.

Atemu was found leaning against the wall, mumbling what Yuugi guessed were Egyptian curses.

"Atemu, I'm sorry for whatever Grandpa did but will you please come back and talk to him. He's always like that, frustrating people. Just give it another chance." Yuugi tried but Atemu didn't budge.

Atemu knew what Yuugi was trying to do thanks to his voice and the fact that he was innocent enough for Atemu to guess that he would try and make things better.

"Please Atemu!" Yuugi clasped his hands together and went on his knees. Atemu watched with small interest. Small with seeing people be at his feet everyday.

What happened next, Atemu was cuaght so off guard that he almost stumbled off. Yuugi's eyes became wider and shinier. There were little tears gathering at the bottom of them.

"Pwease Atemu...I weally want you to stay but you have to talk to gwanpa! It would be so nice of you!"

Atemu could not resist the eyes and the tears and the...he sighed in defeat. He always got his way except for this time.

Yuugi instantly went back to normal, jumped up, and hugged Atemu tightly. Atemu had to balance himself at the sudden weight. He had never experienced this before from someone other than his parents. It was a surprise to say the least...
