"I HATE YOU PHARAOH! YOU TOOK MY LIFE AWAY! YOU MADE MY LIFE A LIVING HELL!" screams echoed in the shadows. Why was I in the shadows and who was yelling at me? "What have I done to upset you?!"

"YOU KILLED ME! YOU KILLED ME AND MADE ME INTO THIS HORRIBLE FORM! YOU TOOK MY LIFE FOR YOUR SELFISH WANTS!" I was confused. I have never taken a life. Why would I be accused of such a horrible act? "I never killed anyone in my life! You must have me mistaken for somebody else."

"I NEVER FORGET THAT DAY IN KUL ELNA! YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IS TO BLAME FOR MY VILLAGES DEMISE! YOU TOOK MY SOUL AS A POWER SOURCE!" A power source? I knew Kul Elna from what my uncle has done to that poor village. He made the millennium Items with all the villagers. That was why Bakura was after me when I was Pharaoh. He wanted revenge. Is this another spirit of Kul Elna? "Tell me…who you are and what is it you wish to seek?" there was silence. "Hello?"

"I don't seek revenge Pharaoh Atemu…I just wish to be freed from this state… I want to be alive again…I WANT A SECOND CHANCE LIKE YOU!" there was a blinding light. I could not see. Looking up with my eye lids squinted, I could make out a person in the light, a girlish figure with long flowing hair. "GIVE ME MY LIFE BACK! GIVE ME MY LIFE BACK!" She repeated over and over as she stretched out her hand towards me. "WHO ARE YOU!?" I backed away from the spectral being, trying to avoid looking into her desperate eyes, which was lit with the same blinding light. "I AM THE WALLS AND DOORS OF THE LABRINTH YOU WERE TRAPED IN FOR THREE THOUSAND YEARS! I AM THE LOCK AND KEY OF YOUR MEMORIES! I AM THE WEAPON OF THE MILLENNIUM! I AM THE MILLENNIUM PUZZLE!

Atemu woke up in a panic. He looked around as his breathing slowed its pace. He looked at the time. It was midnight. Something about the night seemed to have disturbed him. Maybe it was the temperature of the autumn or maybe he was just over reacting. It was just a dream …just a dream. Atemu reassured himself. He lied back down to sleep but something prevented him from relaxing. Atemu turned and turned to find a comfortable spot on his bed but his mind was racing too fast to let him relax. Damn it I can't relax at all! Atemu sat up and got on his feet. He knelt down and pulled a bag out from under his bed. Inside was the seven golden millennium items. He picked up the puzzle and traced the Wedjut eye carved in the gold. The Millennium puzzle…why dose it have to be the millennium puzzle? Atemu sighed and placed the golden pendent back in the bag and shoved the bag under his bed. He got back in bed and closed his eyes, Unaware of the tears of blood that leaked from the corners of the Millennium puzzle.

The next morning, Yugi was downstairs eating breakfast. He looked up the stairs wondering when Atemu was going to come down. Yami never sleeps in like this…I wander what's up. That's when Yugi's mom looked up the stairs, a ladle in hand. "ATEMU! YOU BETTER BE UP AND GETTING READY BEFORE I COME UP THERE!" Yugi knew Atemu would never purposely get in trouble with his mom. I should go check on him. Yugi rushed up the stairs and knocked on Atemu's bedroom door. "Yami are you awake?"

"I'm up Yugi…I just feel sore that is all." Yugi sighed. "Okay just hurry up before mom comes up and uses her ladle of doom on your head." There were chuckles on the other side of the door. "I like to see her try…" Yugi tried not to laugh. Atemu did not know that his step mother was near the door when he said that and when he opened the door, a ladle came flying by and hit the back of his head. "OUCH!" Atemu placed a hand over a lump that formed on the back of his head. "Atemu do you want to say that again?" Ms. Motou teased as Atemu rubbed his messy hair. "No ma'am…"

"Alright now go get some food; we'll be heading out to see the collage soon so be quick." Atemu moaned. It has only been a year since I was reborn and now I need to think of a career field I'll be interested in! That is a lot of pressure on me. Yugi saw the distressed look on Atemu's face as he walked down the stairs. "Yami…your worried about collage aren't you?"

"Yea…I don't know exactly what I can be good at; I mean I could try to get into the gaming field but…"

"But what?"

"I don't think I would enjoy that…I was a pharaoh three thousand years ago for Ra's sake! What can I do that would be useful in this century!?" Yugi pondered this for a while. "You have a photographic memory right?" Atemu blinked a couple times. "Well yea…why?"

"Maybe you should try to be an investigator." Atemu sighed. "Yugi…I love you and respect the fact that you are trying to help me but I don't think I would be a good investigator." Yugi smiled. "Why not?"

"…." Yugi sighed as he put his hands in his pockets. "That's what I thought…you should try to look into it Yami. You might be surprised of what you might find." Atemu smiled at Yugi's advice. "Thank you Yugi…I will keep that in mind."

Yugi, Atemu, , and Grandpa Motou spent the rest of the morning at a community collage tour. Yugi was fascinated at all the different classes to choose from. Atemu looked around in a board manner. He felt like none of the classes would suit him. Lost in thought, Atemu slowly drifted away from the rest of the group. After a few minutes, Atemu realized that he had gotten himself lost. Uh oh…Let me go find a map of the campus. Atemu walked into a classroom and realized that a lesson was in session. Atemu's cheeks turned a light pink from embarrassment. "Oh sorry…"

"Not a problem… You must be from the tour." Said the professor. He was tall and well built. His jet black hair was slicked back and had two snow white streaks on each side of his head. His beard and mustache was well shaped and trimmed and his eyes were a piercing blue. He had walked up to Atemu. "Professor Robin Cornelius, Head of the department of Egyptology and antiquities." He held a hand out to Atemu. Atemu took his hand in a hand shake. "It is a pleasure to meet you sir." Professor Cornelius smiled. "I can tell you are a young man who likes a little adventure am I right?" Atemu shifted. This guy seems too curious in me. "I like to travel if that's was you mean." Professor Cornelius smiled. "Are you interested in taking a course in Egyptology? It is a fascinating subject." Atemu looked around. I would have it too easy in this class since I am from ancient Egypt. "Not necessarily, I was just looking for the rest of the tour group." The Professor frowned. "Aww too bad, and here I was hoping I was meeting a future student, let me fetch you a map." Atemu watched as Professor Cornelius walked over to his desk. He then noticed the lesson on the board. He giggled to himself. How ironic. Professor Cornelius came back and handed Atemu a map. "There now you should be all set."

"Thank you…" Professor Cornelius turned to walk away when Atemu called out. "Professor?"

"Yes?"

"The nameless pharaoh died in battle… not in a hunting accident and he was around sixteen when he passed…not twenty one." The Professor turned and stared at Atemu. He smiled. "That was my bad…thank you for pointing that out." Atemu walked out of the class room. He was not happy that I corrected him…but it was nothing personal.

Atemu had caught up with the rest of the group at the end of the tour. Yugi talked to Atemu as Ms. Motou and Grandpa Motou waited for the bus. "Yami you disappeared on us where did you go?"

"I kind of gotten myself lost." Atemu smiled. Yugi sighed. "You…getting lost?"

"I know, it's not my normal habit…but I stumbled into an Egyptology class and the lesson was quite funny." Yugi smiled. "How funny?"

"Let's just say I learned a little more about myself today." Yugi laughed. "That is ironic Yami! Maybe you should sign up for that class." Atemu made a face. "No way! That professor gave off a bad aura…I think I made him mad when I corrected him on his own lesson." Yugi nearly fell off the bench laughing. "Scratch what I said, you should be teaching that class!" Atemu laughed at the thought of teaching a class about himself.

Once they reached home, Atemu called Joey. Joey picked up the phone on the other end of the line. "Yo, Joey speaking."

"Hey Joey…it's Atemu."

"Hey Atemu! How's it going?" Atemu sighed. "long and boring…I had to go on a collage tour."

"Found anything interesting there?"

"Just an Egyptology class and a rich professor…" Joey giggled. "That sounds like a class you'd ace."

"Yea…but I want something challenging not something easy." Atemu could hear Joey laughing. "What so funny?"

"Oh sorry Atemu, I wasn't laughing at you I promise, I was just reading some comics."

"Oh…"

"Hey you think it would be alright with gramps and your mom if I came to spend the night?"

"Of course Joey, I'll tell them you're coming over later."

That night Yugi, Joey, and Atemu were dueling each other in a three way duel. Yugi won against Joey and even Atemu. "Yuge it's now wonder you're the king of games…you even beat Atemu." Joey sighed. Atemu laughed. "It's also that skill that gave me a second chance to live." As Atemu, Joey, and Yugi talked, something was thumping around under Atemu's bed. Joey noticed the strange thumping sound. "Hey Atemu…What is under the bed?"

"The millennium Items…" Atemu noticed the thumping and pulled the bag from under the bed. He carefully unzipped the bag and took out the millennium puzzle. To his surprise, the puzzle was stained with dark red stain marks on the corner of the carved eye. Atemu's hand shook. "B…blood?" Yugi and Joey looked over Atemu's shoulders to see the puzzle. "Your right…" Yugi confirmed. Joey stuttered. "How did the puzzle…get b.b. ?" Atemu shook his head. The puzzle started to vibrate in his hands "What in Ra's AGH!" Atemu dropped the puzzle. He quickly pulled his hands close to his chest; they shook from the shock of pain that ran up his arms. "Atemu! Are you alright?" Joey asked as Atemu turned pale before both Yugi and himself. Atemu shook his head. "No…too…bright…" Atemu collapsed onto the floor. "ATEMU!" Joey caught Atemu in his arms. The puzzle spun around and around on the floor as tears of blood spattered on the floor. The Puzzle glowed red hot as light seemed to emanate from with in is. Yugi grabbed the puzzle and tried to hold it still. Why is it freaking out like this?! Yugi instantly pulled the wedjut eye piece out of the puzzle and a blinding light filled the room. Yugi and Joey covered their eyes as a shadow immerged from the light. "Thank you, Pharaoh…" as soon as the light dimmed down, Yugi and Joey looked up to see a girl with long silvery hair. Her eyes were a light crystal blue. Her face was delicate except for a thin light scar on the left side of her face. Her neck and left arm also held scars. "The pharaoh…will the pharaoh be okay?" Her voice was soft yet held no emotion. "W…Who are you?!" snapped Yugi. The girl glared at Yugi. "To most my name is the Millennium puzzle, to my enemies I am the bringer of death, but to you…My name is Nefrea the warrior of Kul Elna and protector of the souls of the Millennium puzzle and the Pharaoh."
