I woke up on a brick floor and looked up to a brick maze above me. I slowly sat up to find that the back of my head hurt. I started to rub the back of my head before noticing that I wasn't alone. There is a woman laying beside me who looked in worse condition then I felt. I check if she was ok and she was from what I know. I tried to get her awake to see what happened and who I am along with her. I felt a strong conection to her already, like I knew her already.
~~~~ Your POV ~~~~
You wake up with a man looking over you. "Miss, are you ok," he asked gently. "I think so," you whispered weakly. You tried to move and found it was kinda hard to move. "Can you move," he asked, "Can you walk?" "I could try, not too sure though," you whispered again. You tried to sit up but it was too hard. He had to help you sit up and he was holding your weight up, you had no energy. "I guess that answers that question," you whispered chukling. He smiles and asked, "Any idea what happened?" "No, what you know is what I know." "Whats your name?" You closed your eyes and thought about it for a minute. Then one name poped into your mind. "Zelda, I think it's Zelda." "You aren't sure?" "I'm afraid not. I don't remember anything before you woke me up." Guess not, she is just as much in the dark as I am, some one thought. "Was that you thinking that." "What? 'Guess not,' is that what you meant?" "Yeah, I could read your thoughts, I guess." Why do I feel a close bond to him already? I feel like I know him, you thought.
"Hey, I heard you as well. We could read each other's minds. Well I feel the same with you." "By the way what's your name?" "I don't know. I am like you and don't remember anything before I woke up." "Well let's call you Yami for right now." "Thank you, lets move, I don't like this area." "Ok, but I still don't have the strength to get up."
He gently picks you up and starts walking to an area that isn't mazes and doors with even more maze behind it. The area was open with only one door. Yami puts you down against the wall and went to the door. "Be careful, Yami. We don't know what's on the other side," you said. He nods and opens the hallway. "This is the last door in this room. But there is another room across the hallway."
F.F. 3 MONTHS
~~~~Narrator ~~~~
Yami found out that him and Zelda were shairing a body of a 16 year old boy named Yugi Mutou. Yugi didn't seem to notice their presences in his mind and whenever Yugi got into trouble that was dangerous, Yami would take over to help out. The only problem was, Yugi won't remember what happened after Yami took over. Zelda still barely had any strength to get up or walk and her energy was acting like it was being drained by something. Yami tried his best to keep her comfortable and hopefully make her feel better. They fell in love as well, but to them, it felt like they were falling in love again. One night Yugi went to his inner room. Yugi came out of his chamber right into the room across the hall. Zelda was up against the wall with Yami right next to her with his back to the door. She was told everything that Yami knew and she knew who Yugi was.
~~~~ Your POV ~~~~
You saw a young boy about 16 at the doorway of your's and Yami's chamber. Yami didn't notice you were staring at the boy until you tapped Yami's arm. He looked at the door and found the boy. "Who are you guys and where are we," asked the boy, Yugi. You hid behind Yami while he replied, "We are of no harm to you, Yugi. We are in the Millennium Puzzle." "How do you know my name?" "Remember those times you don't remember anything?" "Yeah." "Also you hear that voice guiding you through your duels?" "Yeah, wait that's you?" Yami nods and replies, "You could come, we are the spirits of the Millennium Puzzle." You look around Yami at Yugi and he notices how weak you look. "Is she alright," he asked running to where you and Yami were. You lean back against the wall and try to relax from how low your energy is your energy is. "I'll be fine. Just weak," you reply in a whisper. "Easy Zelda. Don't overtax yourself," said Yami gently.
Just then your chest started to hurt badly causing you to moan from it. "Zelda, whats wrong," asked Yami worried. "My chest- it hurts. What's going on," was all you said before the pain caused you to scream and passed out.
~~~~ Yami's POV ~~~~
Zelda's pain not only knocked her unconscious, it made her vanish. "Zelda, no," I shouted. Yugi awoke in his room to find me pacing around in his room. "Do you know what happened to her," asked Yugi. "I don't know, she isn't in the puzzle. We must find her." "I will help you in anyway I can, you could count on me." "Could I take over?" "Of course." The Millennium Puzzle glowed once and when it died down, I was in control. "I ran out of the room and out of the house to start looking for Zelda. Yugi's friends saw me run out and followed me out. "Hey, Yuge, what's wrong," asked Joey. "I can't explain now but I need to find someone." "Who," asked Tristan next."It's a long story. She has long brown hair and dark blue eyes. Right now she is unconscious and we need to find her. She is too weak to defend herself if anything happens." "Right," everyone replies. "Meet me back here in one hour," I said before running to the right of the house Yugi lived in.
I ran for several blocks before reaching a large park. I sensed Zelda's presense some where in the park but she was still unconsious. Tea had came to the park moments after I had. "Yugi, anything," she asked after running to me when she saw I was here. "No, but I could sense she's here." "Alright lets split up, call out when you find her. " After 15 minutes of looking for her, I found her laying on her side. "Tea, I found her," I shouted then refocused on Zelda, "Zelda, wake up. Zelda, can you hear me?"
~~~~ Your POV ~~~~
You came around to Yami's voice saying, "Zelda, wake up. Zelda, can you hear me?" You slowly open your eyes to find a blurred Yami looking over you from behind. "Yami," you ask barley getting out a whisper. "Yes, I'm here. Are you hurt?" "Not that I know of." "Still not strong enough to move or do you think you will be able to?" "I don't think so." "Lets get you to somewhere safe. Ready?" "Yeah." He gently picks you up bridal style and you wrap your arms around his neck with your head on his sholder. "I'm tired," you whispered. "Then sleep. You need your rest and I could carry you there." "Ok, thank you. For everything." "You're welcome, now rest."
~~~~ Yami's POV ~~~~
As soon as Zelda fell asleep, Tea came running to me. "You found her," she asked. I nod and look down at her releaved. "That's good that you found her. Is she hurt or anything," asked Tea. "She's just tired, not to mention weak," I replied, "Lets go back to my place." She nods and we walk back to Yugi's house. By the time we got there, a hour had already passed and Tristan and Joey were in front of the Game Shop pacing. They didn't notice us until we were at the Game Shop (Yugi's house). "Hey, you found her? Is she alright," asked Tristan and Joey at the same time. "She's fine, she needs her rest. Thank you for your help." "Glad to help," said Tristan. We walked into the house and I thought, Yugi, can I put her on your bed until we figure where we are going to let her sleep. He nods and replies, Of course. She could rest there for the night even, we have a guest bed that's easy to set up. I could sleep on that for a while. I replied, Thanks Yugi. I go up and placed her on Yugi's bed. Yugi's grandfather walked in saying, "The kids told me what happened. Is there anything I could do to help?" I let Yugi answer him so I could sit on the bed beside Zelda. "I don't think so, I want to stay here tomarrow. Just to take care of her and you could handle the shop while I take care of her." "Fine but only for one day, deal?" "Deal. Thanks Gramps. He nods and leaves. "Thank you, Yugi, for helping me. He replied, No problem. I'm glad she's safe and resting. You two never told me your names. "Her name is Zelda, mine not so sure what mine is. She calls me Yami for now, until we could figure what it is." Well Yami, I want to help as much as I can. "Thank you, Yugi. You should rest. You will need your strength." Ok, Yami. You should rest too, after all you were running for a while looking her. I'm sure she wouldn't want you losing sleep over this. "Good point. Goodnight, Yugi." Night.
I laid beside Zelda and tried to get some sleep, hoping to see her awake in the morning. When I wake up, Yugi was awake and Zelda was sleeping. "How's Zelda doing," I asked. She hasn't woke up yet. "Oh, well that's was kinda to be expected seeing how weak she was when I found her." Just then Zelda was starting to wake up.
~~~~ Your POV ~~~~
You wake up on your back on top of a bed. You look around a little bit before someone said, "Hey." You turned to find Yugi right by the bed. "Hey," you said in a whisper but a stronger whisper then before. The Millennium Puzzle glowed once before revealing who it was. It wasn't Yugi anymore, it was Yami. "Hey," he replied. "Hey," you said back. "How are you feeling?" "Weak but better." "You had me scared, you disappeared from the puzzle. I found you in the park a few blocks frm here."
You tried to move but found it was a little hard again. "Well, I won't be getting up for a while," you replied with a smile before an older man comes in. "I see your strength is returning," said the man, "You could call me Grandpa, all Yugi's friends do." You look at Yami and he nods to encourage you. You look back at Grandpa and say, "Thank you. For helping me." "You needed the help so I'm glad I could help. Do you have a place to stay?" "No, unfortunatly." "Well, you could stay here as long as you need to. How are you feeling?" "Better but still really weak, I'm afraid that I won't be able to to get out of bed." "Well just rest then, and let us know if you need anything." "Ok thanks again." He leaves and you turn to Yami. "Well you will need to get used to every one so when they get out of school we are going to introduce you to them." "Ok."
You tried to sit up again and Yami went to help you but you stopped him. "I want to try this on my own," you said gently. He nods but keeps his hands behind you in case you fell back. You feel slightly stronger since you woke up and slowly you were able to sit up on your own. "See you're regaining your strength and it's staying this time." "Yeah, but I still won't be walking for a while." He chuckles and spends the day with you in Yugi's room once he helps you sit against the pillows. You even go to talk to Yugi for a little bit and found out that he could read your mind before his friends came into his room. "Hey, Yugi. Glad see that she's awake," said the one with blonde hair. "Hey Joey. How was school today, guys," Yugi replied. He had taken control an hour before and Yami was sitting next to you. No one but you and Yugi were able to see him. "Boring as always. How are you feeling, miss," asked Joey. You replied, "Better but still fairly weak." "Well, we are glad you're awake. Yugi had us help try to find you abd he wasn't kidding on how dark your eyes are. I like that color blue too." "Thanks." "What's your name?" "Zelda." "Well Zelda, I'm Joey and that's Tristan and Tea." They said, "Hi," but the girl's voice sounded fimilar. Zelda, she was with me after I found you, that's probably why her voice sounds fimilar, thought Yami. Thanks for the heads up Yami, you thought back. Yugi kinda laughed but he tried to hold it back. "What's so funny, Yugi," asked Tristan. He shook his head no and they left it alone. Yugi's grandfather came in with some soup for you to eat. "Figured that we should start you off with some thing light on your stomach." You were able to talk normaly you reply, "Thank you." "You're welcome. There is food downstairs if anyone's hungry." Yugi looks at you and asks in his thoughts, Are you going to be ok up here on your own for a little bit? You nod and reply, Go eat, You don't need to worry about me so much you aren't eating. I'll be fine. He nods and leaves.
You start to eat your soup slowly up to the broth. Yugi came in just as you were drinking the broth. "Enjoying your soup, huh," Yugi asked you with a smile on his face. You stop drinking to find him leaning against the doorway. "I like the broth. The soup was good." You drank the rest of the broth and gave the bowl to Yugi saying, "Thanks. Tell your grandfather I though it was good, please." He nods and takes the bowl down. When he came back in the room, he said, "Hey, I want to show you something." He goes to his dresser and gets two decks of cards. He hands one to you while keeping one for himself and says, "Do you want to learn a game? It will you occupied while you're in bed resting and it's one way to pass the time when you are alone." "Sure, sounds like fun."
He explains the basic rules and strategies of the game called Duel monsters. He dueled you and you were a quick with catching onto the game. The both of you were at least 300 life points left when Joey, Tristan, and Tea walked in and saw what the two of you doing. "What's the life point score," asked Joey. "We are down 300 life points. She just started to get the hang of it and this is the first time she's plaied duel monsters," replied Yugi. It was your move. The only monster you had in your hand was Celtic Guardian and he had the Dark Magician on the field. The card you drew was Contagion of madness. You placed it face down and put Celtic Guardian face down in attack mode. Yugi attacked your Celtic Guardian destroying it. You quickly activated your face down having the duel end in a draw. "Wow, she got his life points to Zero. She also had lost all her life points," Joey said in amazement. "You did really well, for your first time. Your a natural, though it don't help to know how to counter it when I think it up." You start laughing, "Not like I planned it. I don't like falling into a trap I know is coming." Yugi laughs in response. "What do you mean she could counter your moves when you think them up," asked Joey. I could read his mind, Joey, and he could read mine as well," you answered.
Joey had the look of disbelieve on his face. "What, how can you read his mind," asked Joey. "It's a long story. I'll tell you later," you replied. He nods and says, "Well, it's getting late, we should be getting home guys." Tristan said, "Nice to meet you and glad you're awake, Zelda." "Nice to meet you too. See you guys later." They left and you were alone with Yugi and Yami. "Tomarrow, I won't be here when you wake up. I will be at school for a while and my grandfather will be here," explained Yugi, "Yami might not be here either just so you know. He might be with me since the puzzle will be with me but we will see you when we get home." "Ok, thanks for the heads up." He nods before grandpa came in and said, "Ok kids, lights out. Early day for some people." The two of you nod and lay down for the night.
You started to have a nightmare, with a woman and a ten-year-old girl on a white horse running out of a burning palace nearly running you over. You ran out of the way and stared in the direction until something moved in the corner of your eye. You look at the palace doors to find a man in black armor on a black horse. He looked at you and raised his hand toward you. His hand formed a energy orb and shot it at you hitting your chest causing you to be thrown back and the pain caused you to wake up.
When you awoke, you jumped forward a little bit and you were breathing hard. You look to your left and you noticed you were still in Yugi's room. You relax before noticing someone was beside you and they started to stroke your head. You noticed Yugi's spirit in the place he fell asleep and Yami was control by your side. "You alright? You were getting me worried," said Yami gently. "I'm fine," you replied, "Just a nightmare." You slowed your breathing and relaxed. "You want to talk about it," he asked."No, I'll be fine." "You should get to still need to rest." He lightly kisses you on your forehead. You nod and turn to your side to lay on your left side. He starts rubbing your side to help you fall asleep.
~~~~Yugi's POV ~~~~
When I awoke the next morning, I wasn't in control, Yami was and he was sleeping next to Zelda. With his arm over her waist. I laugh quietly while I go to the side that Yami's on. Once there, I try to wake him up so I could get ready for school.
~~~~ Yami'sPOV ~~~~
I wake up to find Yugi shaking me gently with a smile on his face. Then I realized why he was smiling. My arm was over Zelda's waist. I chuckled then I got up without waking Zelda. "Something happened last night," asked Yugi. I explained everything that happened in the middle of the night after giving control back to Yugi. "Oh, well she seems more comfortable around you," said Yugi. I smile slightly and reply, "That she does. You should get going before you're late." Yugi laughs and I return to the puzzle to let Yugi go though his day of school.
~~~~ Your POV ~~~~
You wake up in Yugi's room alone around 11:00am. You remembered what Yugi told you and you slowly sit up to get up out out of the bed. You got up but you still felt a little weak. You walked out of the room and down the stairs. Grandpa seen you almost at the bottem of the stairs and he replied, "Hey, feeling better, I see." "Not really but my strength is returning." "Well glad to see you walking." You walk down the rest of the stairs. You were starting to feel stonger now that you were up and moving. "Want something to do? I need a little bit of help," he asked. "Sure."
You help him for a hour before three people came in wearing masks. You step in front of Grandpa defending him from the people. From the look of it, it was three men and one said, "Give us the money and no one will get hurt." This made you tense even more so you answered, "No." Grandpa looked at you with disbelief and whispered, "You aren't strong enough if anything happens." You look at him then return your eyes to the men in front of you and got ready for a fight. You stepped up and man motion for them to get you. One just smiled and tried to grab your arm. You grabbed his arm and punched him in the face. The guy fell down holding the area he was punched and looked at you confused. He got back up and tried to punch, but you caught it. You pulled him and elbowed him in the face knocking him out. The other came at you and tried to kick you but you caught it. He tried to get his leg free but you kept a firm grip and twisted his ankle causing him to fall on his stomach. You elbowed his leg letting it go afterward. He got up limping from where you elbowed and you tried to kick him in the face but he caught it. You tried to get it out but he wouldn't let go. So you used his strength to kick him across the face knocking him out and the both of you fell on the ground.
You did sort of flip from your back to your feet. The last guy looked surprised and pulled out a knife. You stepped back before someone shouted, "Zelda!" You could tell by the voice it was Yami. The man in front of you finally lunged the knife at you so you dodged all the lunges. You grabbed the man's hand that was holding the knife and tried to get it from him. Joey and the rest of Yugi's came in and seen what was going on. "Zelda," shouted and both him and Tristan was going to run and help. Yami, please don't have them help. I don't want them to get hurt, you thought. He replies, Fine, but be careful. Joey and Tristan were going to to jump in but Yami stopped them. "She could get hurt, Yuge," said Joey. "She knows what she's doing and she wants you to stay out of it." The man pushed you away and got ready for another round. "Zelda," shouted Yami. You take a quick look at him and he tosses you a stick without the broom. You held the broomless stick with your right hand and had part of it behind you and the rest of it at your side. "Now, the fight is even," said Joey. "Not quite. Before I gave Zelda the stick the fight was fair," said Yami. "What do you mean the fight was already fair?" "You think she held her own well with out it, wait until you see her fight now that she has it." The man lunged at you but you dodged it compleatly hitting the guy in the back with the stick. The man fell to a knee then got and attacked again. You hit the man's hand that was holding the knife making him drop it. You hit him in the stomach then in the back of the head knocking him out.
You relax then look at every one. "I understand why," said Joey. Yami places his hand at the bottem of his neck and asked, "Are you alright?" "Yeah, thanks for the stick. That really gave me the advantage." "Figured it would." "Wow," said Joey, "That little stick put that guy at a major disadvantage." You started to blush slightly but you looked at grandpa and asked, "Are you alright?" He nods before one of the guys started to come to. You look at him then he remembered what happened. You put Yami behind you got ready for a fight. He tried to come at you so you pushed Yami back and hit the guy in the stomach then in the back of the head. He fell down before the police came in and took the now three unconscious men out.
You put the stick in the corner and relaxed again. You take a deep breath and Yami asks, "Zelda, do you want take a walk with me? Get some fresh air?" You nod and as you were walking out the door very one started to follow. "Guys, can I talk to her alone? She needs to calm down a bit and I would prefer you to stay here anyways." They understood why and nod. You and Yami walked out the door and started walking down the street.
"How are you feeling," he asked gently. "Fine. Just a little tense from what just happened." "I know. I figured that you could relax out here." You and Yami sat on a bench in a park. "This is the park where I found you." You look around then said, "Thank you for helping me, Yami. Even when I was in the puzzle, you took care of me for months while my energy was gone." You look at him then lean into him with your head underneath his chin. He hugs you tightly and Yugi just laughs. Something wrong, Yugi, you thought. He replies, "Nothing's wrong. It just looks right not to mention cute. That explains this morning." Yami started to blush slightly but it was still noticeable. Yugi, I told you what happened and I dozed off, thought Yami. "What happened this morning," you asked Yami. Yugi answered for him, "When I awoke this morning, Yami was in control and he was sleeping with his arm over your waist."
You just smile and get closer to Yami. Yami just hugs you even tighter then he rubs your side. "I think I understand now, you love each other, don't you," asked Yugi. Both Yami and you nod. He smiles and vanishes to give you and Yami time to be alone. After a few minutes, Yami took you to a lake and you and him just watched the sun glisten on the water. People were water skiing. About ten minutes of watching that, you were starting to walk back to the house when you hear a light growl. You stopped in your tracks and Yami notice you stop. "Something wrong," he asked. "You don't hear that?" "No,what is it?" "Growling." You closed your eyes and the sound seemed to be coming from the bushes to your left. Your eyes snapped open and you faced the bushes putting Yami behind you.
You start looking all over what you hear. Your spine started to hurt and Yami sensed it. He tried to put you behind him but you stood your ground in front of him. All of a sudden, you hear a snap. What happened next happened so ever was in the bushes jumped out and you push Yami out of the way before it tackled you. You were trying to fight it off which turned out to be a large dog and your spine hurting. Finally you were able to push it off you but when you got on you hands and knees you started to change forms. During the process you closed your eyes and when you opened them, you were a large wolf. The dog was smaller than you now and it looked Yami. It was getting to attack him but you started to attack it.
The dog was surprised you attacked and you wounded its leg and the back of its neck. It limped away before you turned to see Yami with a scared look on his face. You got close to the ground and began to crawl to him. Yami, it's still me, you thought as you crawled. Once there, you placed your nose in his hand and he began to relax. He began to pet your head and scratch behind your ears. Sorry, I scared you, I really didn't mean to, you thought gently then licked the side of his face. He laughed and replied, "It really took me by surprise mainly then see you act like that really caught me off guard. Are you hurt?" Nope, I can't say the same for the dog though. "Can you change back?" Think so. I'm worried more about my clothes then anything. "Good point." You looked around and found an ally way with a large dumpster. You ran behind it and transformed back. "Good thing that my clothes are fine." Yami followed you to where you disappeared from his view and saw when you came out.
"Well we know the answer to that question. I see you back is feeling better," he replied with a smile. You nod and the both of you walked back to the house. When inside, everyone greeted you and when you looked at the clock it was 6:30 pm. Yami, i don't want to tell the others about what happened earlier. The only ones that need to know are Yugi and his grandfather, you thought. Yami understood and nodded. "Hey Grandpa, could me and Yugi talk to you alone for a moment," you asked. He nods and you, Yami, Grandpa, and Yugi's spirit went into a room to talk in private. You closed the door and said, "While me and Yugi were walking, we learned something about me that we didn't that niether of us knew before. We were attacked by a large dog and some how I changed into a wolf to protect us." Both Grandpa and Yugi had a look of disbelief on their faces. You're a werewolf, thought Yugi. Well not exactly but that's the idea of it, you replied. You said out loud, "I don't want the others finding out. Only if there is no other way for it." "I understand," said Grandpa. "Thank you." He nods and you returned to the other room.
You serve yourself some food and sat near Yami. Joey asked, "So what did you two talk about?" That took you by complete surprise. "Nothing, it was meant to calm me down. Can't say it worked though," you replied. Yami let Yugi take over and he went to serve himself something to eat. When he came back you started to eat your meal. When you were done, Joey, Tristan, and Tea left to go home. You placed your plate in the sink and Grandpa said, "I won't tell them unless you want me to. Thank you for protecting him from the dog." "No problem."
You and Yugi decide to turn in early this time Yugi laid down in his own bed with you in the guest bed. Yami laid down beside you and the both of you fell asleep with his arm over your waist. You fell asleep peacefully and so did Yami.
