Standard Disclaimers apply: all YuGiOh characters belong to Takahashi-san…hee^.~
Warnings: *****YAOI***** also, the following fic was written in reply to a challenge.
Okay, this story is starting off a little slowly and no matter how many times I rewrite it still ends up like this…but still, I like challenges…give me more!!!!!
I've just never done a character/card pairing before…unique…-.-;;;
HEH…soooo, I dedicate this to High Priest Seto-(you wanted it)…
PrologueThe sun rose slowly from the east and cast it's golden shadow across Tokyo. A pair of crimson eyes watched it as it inched slowly up the clear sky, the small area surrounding the glowing orb turned a into a perfect blend of colors from the rainbow, red, orange, yellow, purple, and just the slightest tint of greenish blue. A leather clad figure eased out of a sitting position and stood up.
Yami watched as the different colors bled and spread across the sky as the sun rose steadily. The scenery was breath taking, and relaxed him. He certainly needed the relaxation. Yami took a glance at the sunrise once more before heading back into the game shop. The Battle City Tournament had ended a month ago and he had found a way to separate himself from his hikari-Yugi Mouto. In short, he had his own body now and could go wherever he wanted. The pharaoh sighed and massaged his temples in a circular motion. Ever since he had separated from Yugi, random visions had started to plague him incessantly. ~Piercing crimson eyes, a flash of a dark room…hundreds of candles,,,~ Those were the things that had plagued him constantly regardless of what or where he was. Suddenly Yami found him looking into amethyst eyes and started in surprise.
"Yami-kun? Are you okay?" Yami smiled down at the small boy reassuringly and nodded.
"Hai. Did you want something Yugi?" The short teenager shook his head.
"No, not really, I just wanted to see if you were alright, you haven't been yourself lately…" Yugi trailed off uncertainly as he realized that the pharaoh once again had a slightly glazed look in eyes.
"Y…Yami?" Yami blinked and looked down again.
"Hm…?" Yugi decided that since Yami was ignoring the question to go on and say what he had meant to in the first place.
"Yeah, me and Anzu are going to the park…just so you know, in case something happens."
"Okay, see you later then Yugi." The older boy turned and walked away without following through with the usual routine: Teasing Yugi about his relationship with Anzu until the smaller boy was as red as a tomato.
Yugi looked after the retreating figure with a frown…
Yami walked slowly down the streets until he found himself in front of the library. He shrugged and walked in. Life was full of unexpected twists so he might as well just wait for them to happen and save himself some energy. Besides he had noticed the wind picking up and decided that it was definitely getting to cold to stay out there with just a leather tank top on no matter how many belts there were on it. He entered the library quietly and let his feet take him where they wanted. Rows of shelves passed by and finally Yami found himself standing in front of the Ancient Egyptian section. Yami exhaled slowly, reached out and trailed his hands over a cover of a particular book that had caught his attention at once. He cautiously took it off the shelf and dusted the cover off, obviously, this book hadn't been checked out in a long time. The cover shone a dull golden color under the layers of dust. As Yami finished dusting off the cover he saw why the book had barely been checked out before. It was written in hieroglyphics.
He flipped open pages wistfully. He had given up on remembering his past a few months ago, including on remembering his native tongue. He slowly flipped through the pages and skimmed the contents…looked like a diary…His crimson orbs widened as he realized that he was reading the Egyptian text as easily as one of Yugi's schoolbooks…He smirked to himself; guess he really didn't have to chase after his past, his past was already trying to catch up to him. He glanced at his watch and almost fell over. It was already five in the afternoon, he had spent the whole day walking around in the library- He winced as a thought ran through his mind, Yugi was going to freak on him…
Chapter One…
Yami sighed as he settled into a cozy corner in his room. Yugi and Anzu had both flipped when they didn't see him at lunch and were ready to call the police by the time he had arrived-around five. The pharaoh rolled his eyes; they acted more and more like his parents every day…
The teen sighed and grinned before finally opening the book from earlier, he had checked it out. Somehow the small diary felt familiar to him…he shrugged the feeling off and began to read.

Tomorrow will be my eighteenth birthday; my sister has given this journal to me as an early gift. I love her a lot so I might as well just write in it…Yeah, I have to go report to my father now in order to prepare for my initiation as new pharaoh tomorrow. It will be very boring…
Yami blinked and stopped. This journal was now obviously written by a young prince…too bad he didn't sign his name to close the entry…
10-26
It is at night know and the moon is high in the sky above the pyramids-
Yami winced as his eyes was flooded with a picture of pyramids, dark and cold illuminated by a bright sphere in the dark sky…
I have been initiated as pharaoh and know will be known as Pharaoh all over the country that I now rule. My sister was so happy for me at the ceremony and yet I am not…for with being pharaoh comes the burden of responsibility. Maybe I am still immature but now I will have to be careful of what I say and to whom…
12-29
Lately I have been learning how to use my millennium item that has been given to me as part of being pharaoh and have been very busy... I found this book again; under a pile of things that I have thrown into a drawer…I hope my sister will not be offended… I have learned to summon the shadow monsters to our realm. They really are interesting and are much nicer than most of the people in my palace that surrounds me…not to mention a lot cuter. For example, the Mystic Elf, Dark Magician Girl, Celtic Guardian, even the cold Princess of Tsurigi is better than the boring people I am surrounded and smothered by. My millennium item is a little puzzle shaped like a pyramid and is the strongest of all eight.
Yami's eyes widened as he read the last sentence again-could this writer be an ancestor of his?
The monsters I summon can stay in this realm for a day.
One of the many shadow monsters that catches my attention the most is the Dark Magician… no…there is another that catches my attention even more. The Dark Mage of Chaos-one of the most powerful of his kind. His eyes are crimson like mine, but sharper. The one time I saw him was when my father had summoned him…he had glanced at me and his eyes pierced through my very soul…
Yami's vision swam again as a scene unfolded in front of his eyes; a shadowy figure was talking to a tall leather clad figure. The tall figure turned and all that filled his eyesight was bright crimson eyes…Yami shook his head to clear his vision and continued to read.
I want to see him again- I don't know why but I do…I guess I just want to know him better…
Yami sighed and slowly closed the book…his head was tired from all the events that had happened throughout the day…Slowly sleep enveloped him before he could even stop to consider all the clues…
