Hey there, everyone! I've decided that I wanted to stick with the English names instead of the Japanese names since they were getting a bit difficult to handle so instead of Jonouchi, Anzu, and Honda, they'll be called Joey, Tea, and Tristan. I'm gonna do the same with the other characters in the story so I hope you all won't mind at all.

"And then that bastard had the nerve to call me a stupid mutt! How am I stupid since I scored a C on yesterday's math test!?"

"You got a C-, Joey."

"Not helping, Tea!"

"How were you able to make a C on that test?"

"I mostly guessed B or C on the answer sheet and I was able to make an awesome score!"

"Well I got a C+ on the test."

"Don't make me strangle you, Tristan!"

"I'd like to see you try!"

Both Joey and Tristan grabbed each other and tried to give one another a headlock or grab their necks while Tea is trying to get them to calm down and to quit fighting. Ryou was chuckling a bit as a small sweat-drop appeared on the back of his head from seeing their antics.

Their math class was over and they were now eating their lunch on the rooftop like they usually do. It was a warm and sunny day today and there were a few people up on the roof besides them, who were enjoying their lunch or chatting with their friends. Yugi was able to finish most of his food, but not all of it due to being deep in thought.

His dreams have been getting more vivid to him and it was impossible to figure out what they're trying to tell him. Every dream was the same: the whispering shadows, the cold temperature, the heavy atmosphere, and the Egyptian woman who keeps telling him to go closer to her. He believes that something big might happen soon and he hoped that it wouldn't be another evil force that they have to stop again. So deep in his thought that he didn't see the hand waving back and forth in front of his face.

"Hello? Earth to Yugi!"

He broke out of his thoughts and looked over to see Joey and the others looking at him with worried expressions on their faces. "Huh? What?"

"You were too busy staring at your lunch that you didn't hear us calling you. Since when is food more interesting than us?" Joey asked. "We've been trying to call you for 5 minutes."

"O-Oh! I'm really sorry, guys!" Yugi sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. "I was just thinking."

"About what?" Tristan asked.

"Its nothing, really."

"Yugi, is everything okay?" Tea asked with a worried look on her face. "You look a bit exhausted."

"She's got a point," Joey replied while inspecting him. "I can see the bags under your eyes. You even nearly fell asleep in history class!"

Ryou looked at Yugi with a bit of worry in his eyes. "Yugi, I know its those dreams that are causing your lack of sleep."

"Dreams?"

"Are you talking about scary dreams?"

"Or a different type of dream that's making you look so tired?"

Yugi looked at everyone to see that they were still waiting for him to answer and he let out a small sigh and looked at them. "Last night, I had the same dream about that Egyptian woman. She was there along with those shadows and she was calling out to me, begging me to come over to her."

Joey had a surprised look on his face. "Seriously? The same one that's been making you lack sleep for the last 2 weeks?"

Yugi nodded at him. "The same one. I still have no clue on what my dream is talking about. I was hoping that Ishizu might know."

"Have you talked to her recently about it?" Tea asked.

He shook his head. "No I haven't, but I'm planning on telling her today once school is over."

"Then it's a good thing you are," Tristan replied. "She's got to have an answer on why its still happening to you."

"Hopefully, no one else will get them," Ryou said.

"Lets hope not," Yugi replied.

His eyes were shot open as he looked at his surroundings. The area mostly consisted of trees and he could nearly make out some shadows hiding in the darkness. His heart started to beat nervously and his brown eyes darted back and forth while trying to figure out how he got here.

Ryou's breath hitched as he heard small crunching noises coming from behind him. Not wanting to see who it was, he quickly darted from his spot and ran past the trees. Since there was no light anywhere, it was a bit difficult for him to dodge the branches but he couldn't stop. He could feel a chill run down his spine, as the crunching noise had gotten louder. He was definitely sure that someone is following him.

His breathing started to become heavy but he didn't want to stop. He had to keep going so he wouldn't get caught. As if his prayers were answering him, the moon suddenly appeared from the sky and shined some light on a pathway for him to take. He took that chance before the moon would go away and quickly ran on the pathway that the moon's light had provided for him.

It nearly felt like forever, but he was able to make it to a huge clearing that was surrounded by trees. However, he wasn't the only one there. He quickly stopped and panted heavily while regaining his breath.

A woman was standing in the middle of the clearing in front of him, but he couldn't see her face due to the shadows obscuring her appearance. He was able to tell that she wore ancient Egyptian clothing to indicate that she was from a higher rank or from royalty.

"Come."

Ryou nearly gasped as he sees her necklace starting to glow and she brought her hand out for him to take.

"Come to me, my beautiful gem."

Her voice was soft and soothing, almost like bells. She reminded him of a mother longing for her child. While staring at her, his feet were starting to walk towards her.

"Come, my dear."

A voice in the back of his head is yelling at him to get away and never come back, but he didn't listen to it. His mind was hazy and he still felt the allurement of the woman's voice. He wanted to get closer and see whom she was.

He slowly brought his hand out and reached for hers as he walked closer to her. His hand slowly went over to her hand and nearly touched it. Just a little more and he would be able to touch her hand.

He quickly sat up while gasping and started to pant heavily while clutching his forehead. His heart was still pounding and his body was covered in sweat. It almost looked like he ran a marathon.

Ryou looked around to see that he was sitting on a chair at his study desk and his books and notes were in front of him. He looked over at the clock to see the time.

8:00 p.m.

He must've fallen asleep while finishing up his homework and a lot of time had passed by while he was sleeping. Though it was strange because he would never fall asleep while doing his homework. He was probably tired from studying too much and his brain wanted him to get some rest.

Feeling his stomach growl, he decided to go make a quick dinner and eat something so he wouldn't go to bed hungry. Slowly getting up from his desk and stretching his limbs upward to regain some feeling, he walked out of his room and over to the kitchen. While getting the ingredients out to make spaghetti, the dream still lingered in his mind.

It felt so real to him and he doesn't know why, but something in his mind is telling him that he knew that Egyptian woman from somewhere. However, he has no idea how or why. And could she be the same one that Yugi had been getting dreams about?

Now it looks like Ryou's getting the same dreams Yugi had been getting. In a few chapters, all of you will know who the woman is soon. Please review and no flames.
