Destinies Intertwined.

Hey guys! Long time no see... or write (on my part). I should apologize for the discontinuation of the other stories but I just lost interest and yeah :( Hopefully I will continue with this one. But that depends on you! This is my first fanfic in like 3 years so be nice. . Yesh, Yugioh... my childhood :3 Just finished watching all of the episodes and I cried at the end (not telling what happens if some of you dont know, but if you're here you should :L)
It will focus on Ancient Egypt because that was my favourite arc of the series :3 And it's Yami/Tea. I tried keeping the characters in character and I will do so throughout the whole story. This first chapter...I dunno, don't like it that much as it's short and dodgey but it introduces the scene. I promise it will get better in further chapters (I hope). Okay I think I've addressed everything. Happy reading... and reviews would be nice :)

Summary:

Worried that Yami was to recover his lost memories alone, Tea Gardner followed him into Ancient Egypt with the hope of helping him discover his true identity. Her decision sends her on a journey where she finds out that her presence in the ancient world was more important than it seemed, and that the fate of the world rests, not only on Yami's shoulders, but Tea's too. With this in mind, can the two work together in ways they hadn't imagined, to bring down an evil force which threatens to destroy mankind yet again? And, will this journey lead to the formation of a bond between the two; a bond that could ultimately bring them together, or break them apart forever...

This is it! Yugi thought as the Realms of Time opened. The Pharaoh will finally find out about his past and fulfill his destiny… our destiny.

It was hard to believe. After all this time, the answers would finally be revealed. It seemed like yesterday that Yugi solved the Millenium Puzzle, which in turn, unlocked the spirit of the ancient Pharaoh. This spirit lived within the boy, appearing when Yugi needed him to. The two endeavored through many duels (and saving the world), which ultimately led to them having the title 'The King of Games' but more importantly… it led to a friendship that could not be broken.

Now, standing in front of the stone tablet, Yugi felt a little saddened. Saddened that Yami had to go alone. He wanted to go with him, to help him uncover his memories but he knew that it wasn't possible. This task was for Yami and Yami alone. Although saddened, Yugi was determined, as were Joey, Tristan and Tea. They were determined for the Pharaoh and how he would finally know who he really was.

As the stone tablet shone brightly, Yugi could feel the spirit of the pharaoh being pulled towards it. "Yugi, the time is now. I can feel it… it is somehow calling to me- is something wrong?"

"No, nothing is wrong… it's just… I don't understand why we can't go with you. I mean I know it's your time period but it just doesn't seem fair that you have to go alone."Yugi replied with his mind.

"Yugi, I am grateful for your concern but it is far too dangerous for you and the others. I will be fine, I assure you."

A moment of silence passed. "Okay then Pharaoh,"Yugi's determination found its way back to him, "Go and retrieve your memories!"

He turned to face his friends who all bore the faces of worry. They, like Yugi, considered the Pharaoh a close friend and setting him off into the past without them by his side was just as hard for them.

"Tea, he will be fine. Come on, he's the King of Games! A little time travel is nothing for Yuug." Joey Wheeler stated as he noticed his friend shed a tear, although he wasn't sure he believed his words of advice.

"How can we be sure? We don't know if he'll be okay or not." She replied, shifting herself back and forth. "It would be so much better if we all just went together… like we have for the past 5 years."

"For once, I am going to have to agree with you Tea." Joey said, crossing his arms.

"Hey guys," Tristan cut in, pointing towards his short friend "look at Yugi's puzzle!"

A strong light was protruding from the Millenium Puzzle and, along with the shining light of the stone tablet, the intensity became too much for the gang, forcing them to close their eyes.

"I guess I shall see you later Yugi."The spirit said as he moved into the light.

"Be…back…soon!"Yugi sputtered as he fought against the ever too strong lights showering his face.

"WAIT!" Tea ran forward, moving towards the stone tablet and forcing her eyes open. She couldn't let him go there on his own. He helped her so many times… it wasn't fair. She didn't know why she did what she did but all she knew was that she needed to be with him… to make sure he was all right and safe. All she needed to do… was… move a little… closer.

She could hear the cries of protests coming from Yugi, Joey and Tristan. "Come back!" "Tea, NO!" "What are you doing?"

Tea knew her actions were that of stupidity but it didn't matter to her. If the others were just going to take 'no' as their answer to this, then so be it. She was always there for all of her friends. She always backed them up… encouraged them and she always believed in them. She never left them.

And Yami was no difference.

He was her friend.

And friends always have each other's backs.

The subsiding light was resisting her as if it knew she wasn't meant to be this close but she fought through. She could hear the footsteps of her friends coming closer… Come… on… Tea! A little further-Yes!

She had reached the tablet, placing her hand firmly on the surface.

The light consumed her.

And the tablet was no more.
