All right Yugioh fans! This is my third story, but instead it is going to have more references to my first story 'Midnight Water Romance', but like Midnight Reunion it does contain my own character. This story is going to replace Midnight Reunion as the sequel to Midnight Water Romance.

Here's what she looks like: Yani Kinta 15, She's is the owner of the Millennium Heart, it gives her wisdom to face any situation, also the spirit is an ancient Egyptian Queen named Yamé guides Yani in her duels. Yani can duel pretty well, but she was only able to achieve the title of Queen of Games during the Middle Eastern Tournament thanks to Yamé's guidance.

Oh and Yamé is sort of like Yami and Bakura but she's not, just like the Millennium Heart is like the Puzzle and the Ring but it isn't. Confused? Just read and you'll find out.

OK! That's a little about my character. Yani is Chinese, from Hong Kong, China. This story takes place at the beginning of the Battle City tournament.

Disclaimer: I no own Yugioh, though I wish I did, so I could torture Tea, no offense, but I really don't like her.

All Right let's get started, remember Review it really does help me.

Unknown Secrets

Chapter 1: Unexpected Meetings

Japan. It was a beautiful city at night, said the little girls' thoughts as she looked out of the compact and dirty plane window to all the billions of lights below. It was almost as wonderful as her home back in Hong Kong, where she was coming from. She couldn't wait to see it, when she went to participate in this 'Battle City Tournament'.

She was invited by Seto Kaiba, himself, the president of Kaiba Corporations. He had heard about her. She had won every duel tournament in the Middle East. Everyone called her the Queen of Games. He sent her a letter asking to enter his tournament, representing the entire nation of China. He also sent to her his new duel disk to practice with and everything else she needed for the tournament.

Yani was very confident that she would well, but something still bothered her. Kaiba said if she lost even one duel, she would have to give up her rarest card.

As she looked out the small window, a small tear fell from her eyes. Down and down it fell until it landed on something golden hanging around the girls' small neck by small yet strong rope. When the tear touched it, suddenly it started to glow faintly. Yani then looked up and smiled to see a ghostly figure sitting next to her, a little taller than her. It was Yamé, the Spirit of the Millennium Heart, the golden heart that hung around her neck. This item originated in Ancient Egypt, but had been in Yani's family for years since her ancestors discovered it. Legend is that, there is only one person who can unlock its magic and free the spirit trapped inside. Yani is that person. Five years ago, each family member was tested to put the two halves of the broken Heart together, since Yani was the youngest she was last, but ever since she has been filled bravery, and wisdom of the ages. The Spirit, Yamé Yani, is the one guides her and comforts her.

"Yani, is something wrong?" asked Yamé putting her ghostly pale around Yani's small shoulders.

"I was just thinking about the upcoming tournament, and the new rules." Sniffed Yani putting her head down.

"You mean about losing your rarest card." Said Yamé calmly.

"It's not just my rarest card. It has been in my family for years. It has won many tournaments for me, my two older sisters, mother, grandmother, and even their mothers before them. It's also my favorite card." Cried Yani, reaching underneath her white jacket, pulling out a duel monster card that was slightly frayed on two corners, but safely inside a small glass case, protecting and making it look almost new.

The card was the White Magician, a female monster, (2200/2500). She was a powerful spellcaster with a very handy effect also. When she is in defense mode, she will defend all other monsters on her side, whenever a monster is attacked she will defend and if the attack points are lower then her defense, then the monster is destroyed, but if attacking monsters' attack points are higher then she is destroyed.

"I have to win this tournament, for my family's honor, my nation, and with your help I am sure to do well." Said Yani cheering up a little.

"Yes, even without me, you are truly a great duelist with pure heart." Said Yamé smiling and giving Yani a small kiss on her forehead, as the young girl leaned back trying to get some sleep.

"I know you will Yani, but I fear there is more to this tournament then meets the eye. I sense a great evil. I must protect Yani at all cost, even if it means revealing my hidden secret." Yamé mused as she faded away back into the Millennium Heart.

After about an hour, the flight attendant spoke over the intercom saying that they will be arriving at the Domino Airport in few minutes. Yamé heard this and noticed Yani was still in a deep sleep decided to wake her. Slowly she tapped into her and Yani's mind link.

'/Yani, wake up. /'

'Hmm. yawns what's going on Yamé?'

'/We are here Japan. Hurry up. /'

'OH! Thank you for reminding me. I don't want to be late.'

Grabbing her bag from underneath her seat, and tucking her treasured card back into her jacket, Yani Kinta quickly made her way off the large plane. She stopped at the end of the jet bridge, slowing stepping off it, thereby, taking her very first step in Japan.

As Yani walked down the empty and peaceful street of Domino City looking for her hotel her parents arranged for her. As she walked, Yani was so busy taking in all the beautiful nighttime sights; she did not see three people standing in the middle of the sidewalk apparently waiting for someone.

BUMP! "Ooof! Ow!" cried Yani softly as she landed on the pavement behind her.

"Hey, are you Ok?" came a girl's voice.

Yani opened her eyes to see whom she bumped into. There were three people two girls, one with long blonde hair and the other who was kneeling down with short brown hair, and one boy with tri-colored hair that seemed to defy gravity, who was the one she bumped into, stared down at her with curious crimson eyes.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you, I wasn't looking where I was going." Said Yani.

"It's all right. I guess we shouldn't stand in the middle of the path." Said the brown haired girl, reaching her hand out to the small girl, which she graciously accepted.

"So what were you doing out here so late." Asked the tall blonde haired girl.

"I had just arrived in town, and I was looking for my hotel, the Star Circle Inn. I'm here to participate in a tournament hosted by Seto Kaiba. So, who are you anyway? My name's Yani Kinta, I'm from Hong Kong, China." Yani replied.

"That's cool! We're going to participate in that tournament also, we were just waiting for Kaiba to come and explain it to us. Oh, my name is Mai, and if don't want to lose then don't duel me."

"I don't plan on losing actually." Yani smiled.

"I'm Tea, and this Yugi. He's also participating in the tournament."

"I hope we meet again, Ms. Kinta." Said Yugi in a deep voice.

"Please, call me Yani. I know I would look forward to an honorable match from you."

"You said you were from China. How did you know about this tournament?" asked Tea curiously.

Yani then told them how Kaiba sent her a letter, asking her to come and represent her nation. When she had finished, Kaiba appeared above on a big screen and explained the rules of his tournament.

When he came to part where the winner of the duel gets the losers' rarest card, Yani felt tears come to her eyes at the thought of losing her family's card. With that Kaiba disappeared, leaving everyone in shock at the bizarre new rules of this tournament.

In fear of losing her White Magician, Yani reached under her jacket and, ...Wait! She felt around but there was no sign of the card. 'Oh no, it must have fallen off when I fell.' Frantically, she started to look on the ground around her for it.

The other three, recovering of the new rules, turned to see Yani looking frantically around for something. By the tears forming in her eyes, this thing was very important.

"Hey, Yani! Is something wrong?"

"It's my card! I can't find my favorite card! Please help me look for it. It's also my rarest card." Yani cried with pleading eyes.

Just then, Yugi spotted something shiny at his feet. He picked it up and noticed it was a duel monster card in a small glass case. He turned it over and saw it had the picture of female magician that looked strangely like his own Dark Magician. Yugi walked over to Yani, who was now halfway in a bush.

"Yani, Is this the card you are speaking of?" said Yugi holding it out.

Yani looked up with tears flowing freely, but as soon as she saw the card, her soft blue eyes brightened, and ran to Yugi, giving him a giant hug, burying her head in his chest.

"Yes, It is! Thank you! Thank you!" Yani shouted.

Yani was soon able to pull herself off of Yugi, who looked completely shocked but also impressed that this girl cares so much for her cards. She must have a good heart.

As Yani started to put the card in the small pocket of her bag, Mai spoke up. "Why do care so much for that card, it of no use to you and the corners are frayed, you can't use that card in a duel."

"Yes I can, and I have. This card has been in my family for generations, and it has won many duels. It doesn't madder what a card looks like, but it's the heart of cards that's important."

"Now, I have to get going to my hotel. It's late and I'm tired." Said Yani going around the group, and seeing the hotel nearby. "I hope we meet again in the tournament!" she yelled over shoulder, waving to the others.

The others were completely shocked how Yani knew about the heart of the cards. Just then, Yugi noticed something around Yani's neck. It looked like a golden heart, much like his puzzle. He wondered if somehow she was connected with his past. 'I have feeling we will meet again Yani, one day, I'm sure of it.'

After a little more talk from the threesome, they all went in separate directions toward their homes to get ready for the tournament.

((Night before the tournament, in Yani's hotel room))

Sitting on her bed, Yani wished she could fall asleep but she too excited and nervous about tournament tomorrow. Also she had a lot to do to prepare. There the girl sat, surrounded by her duel disk, deck, and the Millennium Heart. The White Magician card, after some new, stronger string, was safely back around Yani's neck. Yani discarded her jacket and regular clothes and now just wore a long light blue nightgown. Her golden hair fell down her back, and short black spikes radiated from the sides and ends.

While she was examining her duel disk, trying figure out how it worked, Yani failed to notice the ghostly figure that appeared in her room. Yamé stood by the window, and knowing that her light knows what she's doing, but still fearing that something evil is looming over this place. Not wanting her light to hear her thoughts she closed their mind link, and stepped onto the balcony. Yamé gazed up at the stars. She wondered not only for her light's safety and this strange evil, but also Yamé wondered why she felt so strange around that boy, Yani met a week ago when she first arrived here. "I hope he's right to the fact we meet again. I look forward to it."

With that, Yamé disappeared to the gentle blow of the wind, her spirit went back to her soul room, in order to be ready for what tomorrow, but not before mind linking to Yani telling her to do the same. Not long after, Yamé felt Yani drift into a dream-filled slumber.
