This story takes place inside the puzzle. Yami and Yugi are inside looking for Yami's memories. No, I do not own Yugioh!

Door after door, corridors and dead ends. This has been Yami's norm for centuries. "Ugh! Yami I feel like we're getting nowhere!" Yugi belted in irritation.

Yami was equally frustrated as Yugi was, but hid it mostly behind the determined eyes and normal face lock. "Don't worry Yugi, we can take a break for the time being." Yami put an affectionate hand upon Yugi's shoulder. The hardened look from a moment ago vanished, leaving behind a soft look and an appreciative smile. "Thank you Yugi, I know we have been looking for a long time to find the right door, I appreciate your efforts." Yami said tenderly.

Yugi closed his eyes for a moment allowing his irritations to subside, only a moment later, his face was brightened with his infamous smile and gem like eyes. "You're welcome Yami, I'm sorry I got irritated so easily, we will find your memories, together, I promise!"

Yami nodded his response. "Indeed. Lets get back and take a breather!"

Yami and Yugi walked through a door they thought lead back to Yami's soul room, but instead they walked into Yugi's soul room.

"What? How did we end up in my room!?" Yugi asked astounded. "I thought only your room was connected to the labyrinth?" Yugi looked to Yami for answers only to find him just as confused. "As did I Yugi. Perhaps somehow our bond has grown so strong that the puzzle has created a door way leading from your soul room into my mind."

Yugi thought for a moment. "Isn't that dangerous? It might make it more difficult to find your memories."

Atem shook his head, "No, but what I am worried about is if there were to be an evil lurking in the shadows of my mind, they have an easier access to your mind as well."

'There he goes worrying about people besides himself again, Yugi thought.' He smiled, Yugi walked over and gently poked Yami in the nose bringing him back from the trance he seemed to be in. The look on Yami's surprised face made Yugi giggle a little, "Don't worry so much Yami, if there were an evil in here, we'd both sense I before it could do anything and I'd tell you if I felt unsafe." Yugi smiled genuinely. Yami nodded. "Of course Yugi, Thank you!" Yugi nodded.

Before leaving the toy littered room, Yami noticed something from the corner of his eye. "Hn?"

Yugi looked to where Yami's attention was directed.

"Has this always been here Yugi?"

There, right next to the newly acquired door to Yami's mind, was another door, one more distinctive. It was a brass door, with silver trimming swirling about, the handle was also silver with carvings that looked like ivy vines around it.

Yugi looked at it in awe. "No, this is the first time I've seen a door like his.

Yami went to open the door, but before he could reach it, Yugi placed a dainty hand upon Yami's. "What if THAT holds something evil in it? We could just be releasing something evil right now."

Yami looked into the worried eyes of his Hikari. "Not to worry Yugi, if something evil does in fact reside within this mysterious door, I will protect you." Yami said with such truth and love, that Yugi couldn't help but smile the brightest smiles Yami had even seen in his face, in a while anyway.

Yugi released his hold on Yami's hand and allowed him to open the door.

Once the door creaked open, there was a blinding light. Once it died, the room looked all too familiar to Yugi, leaving Yami more confused than ever.

"Oh my gosh!" Hands flew up to cover Yugi's mouth in awe.

Cliffy!
