Chapter 1

Sakura and Haru were going on their first date. It was to a movie theater like most people would go to. It was a scary movie like most boys would take a girl to, but it wasn't normal because it was Sakura who had dragged Haru to the scary movie. He was the one who was scared by it and clinging to Sakura. She had to suppress her laughter. The great keeper of the Millennium Key scared of a scary movie. She had the Pendant of Ages which was an item with the exact same powers over shadow magic. She was also the reincarnation of an Egyptian Princess named Temna. Because of this she'd been having strange dreams; memories from her old life coming back to her.

She was remembering memories of having a mother past the age of 4. She was sad that this life she grew up with out one. She knew that her mom was a nice person even though she knew her for a short time. Haru was lucky, he had both his parents most of his life. Though they filled her in on her parents and it helped her a great deal. She had been having the strangest feeling she was going to have to deal with some thing weird very soon. "Sakura why'd you have to bring me to this movie?" he asked. "Because it's a normal thing to do on a first date is it not?" she said.

"Yeah but it should have been you doing all the clinging." He whined as they walked out. Sakura was wearing girl's clothing for a change and it wasn't her mother's at one point either. It was a blue tank top, with a blue over shirt, green capris, and grey sneakers. Well she still had somewhat of a tomboy nature to her. Her pendant of Ages was the only piece of jewelry she wore. An item that had belonged to her in her past life as Temna. She and her dad could barely walk 4 steps with out some one trying to challenge the duel champs to a duel and wind up being beaten horribly.

Haru, like Joey before him, tried to help them escape only to have the large crowd trample over him. So she had to keep her 9x in her bag most of the time. However she refused to take the duel disk to her first date(she still had her deck). It had been at least 2 years since she had won her title, and her reunion with her father. Haru being 16 was now able to drive and was aloud to borrow his dad's motor cycle. Sakura, only 15, wished she was the one who could drive because Haru was horrible. A blind man would have been better.

Sakura saw 3 people on motor cycles behind as Haru drove the motor bike to Sakura's home. "We're being followed." She said loud enough for him to hear her. He nodded and sped up. They were forced into a corner. Sakura felt a strange sensation sweep over her as one of the people advanced. They were wearing masks. "Surrender the monster you are hiding and we will leave." Said the one in the center. "What monster?" asked Haru. "That girl next to you." Said the man. "I'm not a shadow monster." She said. "But our monster trackers say you are." Said the man the leader's right.

A glowing ring was on his hand. "I'll only admit to half." She said. "Why?" asked the one on the leader's left. "I know for a fact my father's human." She said. "Who is your father?" asked the leader. "The one who possesses the Millennium Puzzle." She said. "Yes and I have the key so leave or I'll just have to make one of you a puppet." He said stepping forwards. "Protective of your girl friend I see. We can't banish her anyway. She's half human. But we must warn you that there are hunters out to capture and try to shove even 1/512 monster into the shadow realm. That's only a drop of monster blood." Said the leader.

"Already here. To finish what you won't." said a cold voice. Sakura had to fight the urge to use a shadow spell that would have the same effect as a duelist yelling dark burning attack. Her item glowed. As did Haru's as he glared at them. The good guys stood with Sakura but the bad ones out numbered them. They all yelled banishing spells for a magician girl. She yelled a dispelling one. Haru concentrated and added his items power to hers amplifying the spell. The good guys did the same spell. But there was a bad after effect. Most sent to the ground and a bright light flashed blinding everyone.

Sakura and Haru woke up in an alley way. She stood up and she saw was perfectly alright. She helped Haru up. "We need to see where we are." She said and they venture out of the alley. It was bright out. She saw a news paper lying on the ground. "Oh my goodness. We're about 18 years in the past or more." She said pointing to the date. "That means we're around the same age as our parents." He said. "Yes but we'll have to go by different names. I'll be Temna Amenhotep. You'll be Jou Ushebti." She said. "Alright he said.

They walked around and found an arcade. Sakura had 20 dollars so she decided it would be fun to play a dancing game. She took a dollar and turned it into change so she could put in the credits when needed. "What are you doing?" asked Haru. "Having a bit of fun. I do get to have fun when I'm no one important don't I?" she asked. She began to dance and that's when Anzu came in with Yami Yugi. She spotted Sakura dancing and decided to join her. Haru was amazed at Sakura dancing so gracefully. Anzu danced even more gracefully. Yami Yugi was watching both with amazement. Anzu saw that Sakura was dancing in a different way, it was more exotic than she's ever seen yet it looked familiar.

"I wish she would finish up." Mumbled Haru. "You're with the other girl?" asked Yami Yugi. "Yes. S-Temna and I are here for a little while. I'm H-Jou." He said nearly slipping up. "I'm Yugi." Said Yami Yugi. Temna and Anzu had a small crowd watching them. They both soon blew the highest score, held by Johnny Step, away and Johnny entered when they were still dancing. "What do you two think you are doing?" he asked. "Dancing." Replied Sakura. She then did a combo that gave her more points. He climbed up and attempted to shove her off. She kicked him and sent him off. Anzu laughed and they both saw their credits had run out and they had racked up extremely high scores. "Well I've got to go. I'm Anzu by the way." She said as she and Sakura got off of the dancing game. "Temna." She said.

"Wait why don't you two come to the museum with us." She said. "That'll be great if Jou wants to go." She said looking at Haru. "Doesn't bother me." He said and the four of them left while an arcade watched Johnny attempting to beat their scores. They entered the museum and Sakura looked around in wonder seeing most of the exhibits from her time weren't there yet. They went through and then Yami looked towards a stair case. "I'm getting shivers." Said Sakura. "Why Tem?" asked Haru. "Something's down there." She said. "I sense it too." Said Yami. They went down and saw the tablets. Sakura pretended to be shocked. "I-I can read those!" she said. "Tem you're kidding right?" said Haru.

"It was a great battle. Between the Pharaoh and his greatest rival, the high priest. It raged on and damage was done on a catastrophic scale. Then towards the end they both summoned their most powerful monsters. The end had been scratched off." She said walking very close to the tablet. "My goodness. That looks like you." She said pointing to Yami Yugi. 'Playing dumb. So much fun.' She thought. He gasped and Isis came in. "My pharaoh , need for you is great." She said. "Pharaoh?" he said. "Yes. You were once a great pharaoh. You saved the world and now the time had come for you to save it again." She said and she stared directly at Sakura. "Young woman. I see your future and soon as you help him you will be returned to where you belong." She said.
