Ever since yami left yugi, things didn't go to well. The pharaoh was happy to be back in his time, but something in his heart was missing. He was the darkness, but even the darkness misses his light. And deep in her lights heart, she missed her darkness.

But things have gone from ok to bad to worse. The courage that yami gave yugi didn't last long. Joey tristan and tea have lost contact with her 4 months after the pharaoh has gone. Joey and Tristan for other reasons, tea had forgotten about yugi because without the pharaoh, she no longer had interest in her. Month after month of feeling lonely, forgotten and pushed aside, yugi couldn't take it anymore. So she turned to magic. After 1 year of practicing, she became the most powerful sorceress in all of domino city. She still attends school, not that she has a choice considering she's a senior, but she's the most feared female student. Right up there with Seto Kaiba. Everyone knows not to mess with him.

Four years had passed without the pharaoh realizing it. So he went to his own sorcerer and asked for a spell that would help him locate his light. The sorcerer agreed and chanted a spell that opened a door to the other side. The pharaoh could not believe his eyes. Yugi was having a normal conversation with Kaiba. What was more surprising than anything was kaiba wasn't walking away or calling her names the way he used to. He was actually enjoying himself. What happened next surprised the dark side like nothing ever has before. Yugi smirked and started to mover her hand in the air, then something appeared on the floor making some of the other students slip and slide all over the cafeteria. This made kaiba and yugi laugh. They didn't care that the people they just pranked was the football team. The pharaoh watched as all this played out. In his mind there was no way that he would have let yugi do that in the first place let alone let anyone harm her. The football team started walking toward her and kaiba. As the quarterback was about to punch kaiba, he stopped suddenly. And not by choice. Yugi lifted u her hand and all the players stopped in their tracks.

"c'mon, don't get so serious, we just wanted to have a little fun"

"and with the way you guys used to pick on yugi I'd say that's not a bad idea"

"since when do you stand up for this little twerp?"

Yugi smirked "I'd watch who your calling a twerp considering I can control your every move for right now"

Kaiba and yugi started walking away. Yugi snapped her fingers and released the football team from her control. The pharaoh couldn't believe what he had just saw.

"what just happened?"

"what do you mean my pharaoh?"

"I mean why didn't any of yugi's friends stop her!"

"because kaiba is her only friend and you should already know how kaiba's mind work"

"yes but what made yugi change? Why is she so different?"

"it all began after you left her life became a horrible nightmare to live. Those four months she endured were the worst. Her three friends she held on to so dearly just threw her aside. Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Taylor had left her for reasons I still do not know. But Ms. Gardner left her because you weren't around anymore."

"what?"

"before she put the puzzle together, yugi made friends with her charm and good manners. When she found you she mustered up the courage she had left after you returned home and tried to regain her friends back, nothing she could do would make them take her back"

With that story over the sorcerer brought his staff to the mirror he was using and chanted another spell.

"I must show you what happened, its even to sad for me to say"

The magic brought them back 3 years ago to the day joey, tristan and tea left yugi, not wanting to be friends anymore.

"hey guys wanna come to the game shop and help me sort out duel monsters cards?"

"why do we wanna do that? We don't wanna waste our day"

"but joey…"

"come on joey, lets go"

"tistan, tea! Wanna hang out?"

"get away from me you little runt"

This caught yugi off guard and she stepped back not believing what she was hearing.

"but tea.."

"listen I don't know what it takes to get rid of you, the pharaoh is no longer around! Why on earth would I wanna hang around someone who doesn't interest me? The only thing your doing is wasting my time, unless you got the pharaoh in that hideous hello kitty necklace of yours, I suggest you get out of my face."

With that tea walk away and yugi fell to the ground in tears. As the pharaoh watched this, his blood boiled. Yugi's friend grew to like him more than yugi. Even though they saw how much yugi needed them, they still threw her to the side like she was a rag doll.

"and that's when everything went downhill. She found her love for sorcery and she practiced vigorously. Soon becoming the most feared and powerful sorceress in all of domino city. There are few who practice this but none are as good as Ms. Motou."

"is there a way you can put me back into that era?"

"that is a tricky request pharaoh, would you really want to leave your home and your grandfather?"

"I understand I would be leaving everyone, but Yugi needs me now more than ever, and I would never back down from a friend, especially"

"I fully understand your needs, very well then I will bring you back to the future, but when and if your ready to come back, just close your eyes and hold your millennium puzzle and I shall bring you back home"

"thank you so very much"

With that statement ending the sorcerer chanted and in a blink of an eye, the pharaoh was back into the future.

Yami looked around and found himself at Domino High School, where the day was soon over as he heard the bell. As he looked towards the door he found the person he was looking for, with kaiba.

"YUGI!"

Yugi squinted her eyes, then looked at kaiba.

"that can't be who I think it is…can it?"

"I don't know but I wouldn't trust him"

Kaiba and Yugi walked away.

"Aibou! WAIT!"

Yugi gasped and tuned around slowly with wide eyes.

"what did you call me?"

"Aibou?"

"I haven't heard that name in years, pharaoh is that really you?"

"yes it is! I had to come back"

"so your just gonna show up out of nowhere?"

"well, kind of, but I have been watching you for some time and I do not like the way you've been acting and I thought…"

"you've been watching me? Like some kind of freak! And if you have been watching me don't you think you could have came back into my life a little earlier? You saw everything that's been happening to me but instead of coming back and helping me you decided 'noo she'll be fine she's a strong little girl', well you right about one thing now, I am a strong girl! Im stronger than anyone"

"but Aibou listen to me being strong doesn't mean…"

"save it…im done talking to you, go find your real friends, I've got all I need in seto anyway and I know they've missed you"

"but yugi…"

"I'd suggest you not piss her off, bad things happen to those who do…"

With that kaiba and yugi walked off together leaving the pharaoh alone by the school doors while everyone else walked pass him on their way home. As the pharaoh stood in the doorway dumbfounded, he did not realize that Joey, Tea and Tristan were coming. He then heard a loud squeal.

"OMG PHARAOH! YOUR BACK!"

"what? Let go of me"

That didn't even phase Tea because she did not let go, she was holding on like a mouse trap.

"hey buddy, glad your back, it was startin to get real boring wit out ya"

"what do you mean boring? What about Yugi?"

"who cares about her, she's not as amazing as you are my sweet handsome pharaoh"

"ok what part of get off me don't you understand?"

"Yami-kins…"

"shut up all of you!"

"whats your deal dude?"

"my deal? My freakin' deal is that it bothers me what you did to yugi"

"I don't see why that matters now? She's out of our lives, for now anyway"

"who would want that freak on our lives anyway with her freaky magic tricks"

"she wouldn't have had to turn to that if you guys hadn't throw her away"

"how is this our fault!"

"you guys have become so damn superficial! Its sick."

"I am not superficial! What about all those friendship speeches I used to make!"

"who cares about that now! Obviously neither of you do! None of you followed up on those speeches and quite frankly I was even tired of hearing them, but I stuck it out because you were yugi's friends, and I soon became to know you as my friends. But anyone who behaves like you guys are no friends of mine."

He started walking away.

"I don't know what he's so worked up about"

Yami heard that and his blood boiled even more.

He turned the corner to the game shop and found who he was looking for. She was unlocking the door and before she could step fully in the doorway, Yami called out to yugi.

"YUGI WAIT!"

"oh my ra what does it take to get rid of you!"

"please listen to me! I just want you to be the way you were before all of this."

"all of this could have been avoided, if you could have stayed…"

"yugi you know I had no choice, I had to go back to my own time"

"I understand that, but…why come back now?"

"I just want to help you out of this dark time"

"but what if I don't want help? What if im happy being the way I am! I like having some power! I like not being walked all over! I like having one friend I can trust without having to worry about whats gonna happen. Im happy the way I am right now, maybe ill change maybe I won't, but the bottom line is, I don't need you the way I needed you before, and its obvious that you don't need me either, so it'll be like we never met, go make amends with you best friends, they need you more than I do"

Just as the last sentence ended, she closed and locked the door to the game shop. The pharaoh stood there in shock, not knowing what to do he decided the only place he could go was to her best friend at the moment, Kaiba…
