I am back!!! So I decided to do a sequel because someone e-mailed me and asked me to and at first I wasn't going to because the last one ended without the possibility of a second but then I got to thinking about it, could Tara come back and how could I make that happen? so after a month of planning and writing about 3 or 4 first drafts that stunk I finally found one that actually fit, at least better than the other ones did. This first chapter is a little confusing time wise. This is one year after Atem left Yugi so Tara has been dead for (well ruff estiment) alot of years (since I am not sure exactly how long was between Tara dying and Atem comming to Yugi's world and then how long he was actually in Yugi's world) So were saying a year, lol. If you read it and it's still to confusing to you please let me know and I'll try and describe it a little better. Please enjoy!!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

A year had passed since Atem had left Yugi and his friends. Some strange things had been happening in that year. His puzzle, as he knew, was taken apart and hidden in Yugi's time he still possessed his however but these last few months it no longer felt like only his. Random pieces had started glowing at different times and it seemed like any memory he was starting to get back was leaving quickly. Isis knew what was going on but refused to tell him. Things however were getting worse, he was tired tall the time, hardly ate and was forgetting things constantly. He needed answers and that's what he was intending to get. Deep purple cape flowing behind him he made his way to Isis's part of the palace. He knocked softly on the wooden door that had been propped open.

"Come in Atem." She called with her back to him, he knew better than to ask how she knew it was him, she always knew.

"What may I do for you?" She asked ushering him to a seat, and then turning back around.

"I need answers Isis." He said making her stop where she was

"To what?" She asked, still not facing him.

"To what's happening to me." He answered.

"I wish I could tell you but I don't think you'd want to know." She said turning to face him

"Isis you know what I can handle." He said.

"Yes and I also know what happened when you got your full memory back." She answered sitting next to him.

"You would act the same way if you suddenly remembered that the love of your life died in your arms. He said.

"But now I am losing pieces of my memory, I don't even remember her name." He said putting his head in his hands.

"Tara." She answered.

"Thank you." Came his muffled reply.

"Do you really want to know my prince?" She asked.

"Yes please." H said with all seriousness. Isis took a deep breath.

"The puzzle has been found again, we don't think the person who found it has any intent of letting you reside within him he just knows you have to come back, there's another mission you need to complete." She said.

"You mean I am going back?" He asked. She nodded her head.

"But I thought defeating Bakura was my mission, that's done right, what else is there?" he questioned.

"That I can't tell you, not now, in time I promise." She said.

"The time is soon please be prepared that one day you may not wake up here." She added.

"Thank you." He said standing and leaving the room.

"I am sorry my prince." She said quietly to herself.

He didn't want to walk out on Isis, it wasn't her fault but this was not the news he was expecting and now he didn't know what to do. He made his way back to his room and lay down on his bed the puzzle rested on his chest along with Tara's jeweled engagement ring. He hadn't found it until his second month back, it was laying in an otherwise empty drawer of a chest by his bedside. He had instantly taken the small ring to Isis figuring she'd know what it meant. Isis had given him the full account of who Tara was and what she meant to the people of Egypt. She had explained that after he had left the first time Tara's friends had moved on. Kiya now held leadership power in the city of Alexandria. Anu had begun traveling but always came back to Egypt. He had found her in a small house a few yards behind the palace, she said her and Tara had once shared it. Anu had helped explain a lot more about who Tara was but Atem could tell it was hard for her. She had brought out a drawing she had made of Tara and for the first time in a long time he got to see her face. Long hair which Anu said was a deep brown, a bright beautiful smile and , according to Anu, deep sapphire eyes. She was wearing a necklace in the drawing, a star. Anu reached for a string that hung around her neck and pulled the same star from where it hung under her shirt.

"You gave it to me before you left." She said running her fingers across it.

"Do you mind me asking why it's so important, I wouldn't if I knew why but I a afraid I don't remember." He said hanging his head.

"You gave it to Tara as a gift, because she was your star and when she." Anu paused and took a deep breath.

"Died, you had her soul sealed in it." She explained.

"You can have it back I understand." She said beginning to take the necklace off.

"No." He said stopping her.

"You keep it, I have her ring, I know you were close to her too I want you to keep it." He said, she smiled.

"Thank you."

He could see the sun sinking slowly through his window. He needed to go see Anu again. He pulled his cape back on and left his room. No one questioned where he was going when he left the palace and in a matter of minutes he was at the door of the small house. He knocked lightly and was soon greeted by Anu's smile and bubblegum pink streaked hair.

"Good evening Tem!" She said happily wrapping him in a hug.

"Good evening Anu, may I come in?" He asked hugging her back.

"Of course." She said ushering him into the small house. She closed the door behind him and headed to the chairs to clear off the scraps of colorful fabric that lay on them.

"Is everything okay?" Anu asked taking a seat in a neighboring chair.

"I don't know." Atem said letting out a sigh, A piece of his puzzle began to let out a faint glow causing him to sigh again and put his head in his hands.

"Has is been doing that a lot?" Anu questioned as she moved closer to touch the glowing section of his puzzle.

"Yes, it used to be less frequent but now it's almost once or twice a day."
"Tara's star has been doing it too." She said. As if on cue a portion of Tara's star lit up. The light slowly faded relieving the golden glow from their faces.

"What do you think it means?" Anu asked making herself comfortable on the floor .

"I talked to Isis today, she said it was because someone else found my puzzle, I am going back." He said solemnly.

"Well that makes sense for you, but not for Tara." She said lightly touching the star around her neck.

"Tara's start was never hidden there's no one to find it." Anu continued.

"Maybe it wasn't hidden in this time, maybe it was hidden in the future like my puzzle was." Atem said thinking.

"So does that mean I am going back to?" Anu said with sudden worry in her voice.
"I don't know, I mean it's Tara's necklace." Atem said.

"Yeah but Tara's not really able to go anywhere and I am wearing it." Anu added. Atem shook his head.

"I wish I knew more, Isis said it could happen any day though so I guess we'll find out soon." He said.

"This is all to much to think about, my head hurts from all this time travel talk." Anu said standing up. Atem laughed. Anu always knew how to make the subject light. Twilight was settling over the area.

"I should get back." Atem said standing up from his chair. Anu walked him to the door.

"Have a good night Tem." She said offering him a hug, he accepted.

"You to Anu." He said. He heard her shut the door behind him and he made his way back to the palace.

The sun had completely set by the time Atem arrived at the door to his room. He walked through the door slowly, shutting it behind him. The stess and the worries of the day clung to him like the cape still tied round his neck but like the cape he didn't remove them, he simply lay down in his bed.

"Good night Tara." He said holding the small ring.

"Maybe we'll be seeing each other soon." He said rolling over and burying his head in a pillow and falling asleep.

If only he'd known that he'd be waking up somewhere far from home.
