She looked around the dark exhibition, she was assigned to this area when the other volunteer was knocked out and left there till morning. When they found her, she was saying that she was knocked out with a millennium item, though she didn't even have one. That's what scared her the most because she had a millennium item, but she found comfort in being in the Egyptian part of the Museum, she was able to read the different hieroglyphics and stories. She found most interest in the story about the Pharaoh Yami and the sorcerer, her father had always told her that she was related to one of Yami's closest advisors even more so than anyone in her family because of her millennium arm band. Then suddenly she felt a shot of pain in the back of her head, she collapsed to the hard tiles and blacked out. As everything faded she saw the flash of the millennium rod…

Yugi walked warily into the exhibit followed by his friends Tea and Joey, he looked around. Near the ancient tomes that he read before, lay a young girl about his age with long dark brown hair and slightly tanned skin. She wore the typical clothes of a volunteer security guard working here.

"Guys! Gimme a hand with this!" he exclaimed as he ran to her.

They lifted her up on to one of the couches and attempted to wake her, seeing as she wouldn't budge Tea went to get security. As they waited Yugi watched girl curiously, he felt like he should have known her. He heard Yami's spirit pondering quietly in his head. Suddenly the girl started thrashing about in her unconsciousness, he and Joey backed away as she started mumbling inaudible words. Then he picked up the name "Amaya" and heard it repeated again and again in what seemed to be nightmare. The head security guard ran in with Tea,

"Dammit! That's the second time this week!" he yelled.

As he made his own attempt at waking her she seemed to calm down and her eyelids fluttered open, revealing gentle silver eyes. He heard Yami gasp; he had obviously pieced whatever the puzzle was in his head together. He turned to the Guard,

"You mean this has happened to her before?"

"No, not to her. It happened to the other volunteer who used to work here and I think that was a case of mistaken identity," he turned to the girl, "You okay?"

"Yeah, I think so," she reached to the back of her head, she recoiled her hand, "Ouch, whoever that was hit me hard."

She sat up and her eyes widened, her hand shot to her upper right arm. She sighed,

"Whew, I was afraid that he might…"

"He?" the security guard asked.

"Well… Yes. As I blacked out I saw the shadow of a man run off." She answered.

"Seeing as your awake now I guess your okay, Ari. You don't have to come back tonight; I'll get someone else on your shift."

"Thanks, I'd better get home. Family's probably worried." Ari said, standing up.

As she walked out Yugi waved to his friends to follow him, they caught up to her when she ambled in to the foyer. Yugi wanted to know who she was,

"Hey!"

"Hm? Oh, I forgot to say thank you for helping me out. So thanks."

"What's your name?" he asked.

"My name's Ariana Itsuko, my friends call me Ari. Yours?"

"Mine's Yugi, this is Joey and Tea."

"Nice to meet you three, Hey listen, do you go to Domino High?" they nodded, "Well maybe I'll see you there! Bye!"

She waved and ran out the museum doors, later that night as he went to bed he asked Yami, why he reacted the way he did,

"I sensed her millennium item, it belonged to someone whom it… it hurts to remember." Yami answered.

"Why?"

"It's a long story…" Yami replied.

"There's no school tomorrow, so you might as well tell me." Yugi had never heard Yami speak like that before.

"Alright then… I'll tell you, her name was Amaya. She was a slave in the kitchens when I first met her, we were at war then and no strategy worked against the Babylonians. She somehow struck me as a person who had her own idea so I approached and asked her what she thought we should do. She told me to send a small group of men to the west so it would send the Babylonians on a pointless chase and then send out half of the men we still had to the enemy camp to kill their leader. Then send the other half of those men out to rejoin with the other half and go and kill the rest of the Babylonian army, I used this strategy no matter how shaky the advice of a slave was. I was amazed at the results, her strategy not only won us the war but Babylonia was willing to agree to a peace treaty."

"Whoa, what happened then?"

"Well, I wanted to thank her for what she did by sending her to Babylonia to organise the agreement. Though I decided it to be a better course to test her again, I had her sent to work in the treasury. The Treasurer assigned her to organising the gold that will be needed for trade; she took about two hours sorting it and came out from the vault, gave the key to the warden and said to trade the whole amount to Phoenicia. She apparently gave the names of people to trade with to the trade cart driver, but I decided to be careful I sent half to Babylonia and the other half to Phoenicia. While we waited for their return I researched into Amaya's background, Three days passed and I found it, when she was little she was kidnapped and though she was noble born apparently sold into slavery. Five days later the cart from Babylonia came back with what I expected it to come back with, 2 days after that the cart from Phoenicia returned with 3 times as much as I expected. Surprised, I went to the treasury to talk with her. Amaya was set to organising the rations into four parts, then she did something I hadn't seen before. As always she was using grains of wheat to organise it, she picked up two grains, took a knife and cut them both in equal halves. She put 1 half in each part, when she put the slat down I coughed to get her attention. It was only now that I noticed her millennium arm band and her lavender eyes, I told her I wanted to send her to Babylonia to organise the peace treaty. Shocked, she told me that if they found out she was just a slave they'd kill her. I answered with the information that she wasn't a slave by birth; she was unrightfully sold as a slave. She thanked me profusely for what I did; I gave her the gold to buy new clothes and extra for the trip."

"What then?" Yugi asked, beginning to fatigue.

"You're tired; I'll tell you the rest through a dream. Goodnight." Yami answered.

"Goodnight."
