New chapter I own only Briar and this story.

Please Review.


Meanwhile inside a young boy named Yugi and his friends Anzu, Jonouchi, and Honda were all talking about a new Dueling Tournament that was about to happen soon. "Are you entering Jonouchi?" Yugi asked. "Hell yea if you are man were with ya all the way." Jonouchi said. Yugi nodded and smiled.

"Your lucky to have such good friends." The Pharoh said to him in his mind.

"We both are." Yugi said back with a small smile.

Yami nodded then his image faded back into the puzzle. He was still able to see and sense things Yugi heard and saw.

"Class we have a new student from Egypt. Miss Briar Itris." The teacher said as a girl walked into the room.

The girl was infact a vision of perfection. Although she seemed shy. She had long black hair that was pencil straight but erupted into soft curls at the ends. Her eyes were very majestic; she had these almost shaded green eyes that appeared to grow darker as the went into the center of her cornea. The outer side was a very light, almost mint, green and the rest was white. She had slightly tanned skin that seemed to compliment her eyes. Even the girls had a hard time not staring at her. Jonouchi and Honda were bewitched by her looks. Yugi was even blushing slightly.

"Make her feel welcome." The teacher said as Briar sat near the window. She seemed a bit nervous and shy, not the flirty getting attention kind of shy, but real nerves on edge.

The class continued till free period. Most of the students had went off to play sports. Others had stayed behind to watch the new student. Briar was simply looking out the window as thoughts of the past clawed her mind. Why? Why didn't he come like he should have? She had waited long enough for him. 3000 years is a long time to wait for a dead lover to crossover. Unless she had to do like he had told her. Find him. Find him.

Those thoughts were interrupted when she heard. "So your going to use the God Cards in the tournament?" The God Cards?! "No one on Earth can have those cards! Unless..." Briar thought and turned to where Yugi and his friends were sitting. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw that the boy not only looked much like her Pharoh but also wore the Millenium Puzzle. She felt the world stop when she laid her eyes on the pyramid shaped pendant. "That boy... He couldn't possibly have Atem with him... Could he?" She contemplated in her head. Then the dismissal bell rang and surprised Briar she let out a small yelp. No one heard it though as they were already departing. Briar quickly grabbed her things and left; her mind racing and her heart beating faster. "There's no way." Her mind screamed at her. Then she stopped to consider that her love was inside that puzzle. She had already seen many spirits even some that were in the other Millennium items but none of the Yami's were her love. Could she have finally after all this time... found him?

Her thoughts were broken when she heard. "Hey!" Briar turned and faced Yugi and his friends as they approached her. "Oh... Hello.." Briar greeted her nerves getting to her again. "Your Briar right?" Anzu asked. Briar nodded.

"Well I'm-"

"I'm Jonouchi nice to meet ya." Jonouchi said cutting Anzu off.

"I'm Honda." A guy with brown hair greeted.

"Guys stop cutting me off." Anzu growled annoyed. Briar laughed a little at the funny situation. "I'm Anzu." She finally managed to say. "Hello." Briar said with a small smile. "I'm Yugi. Nice to meet you." Yugi greeted. "Same to you. Oh... what an interesting pendant." Briar said nicely while pointing to Yugi's Millennium Puzzle. "Thanks it's called the Millennium Puzzle; it's from Egypt." Yugi explained while holding the puzzle in his hands. "Hmm... ironic mine is from Egypt... as well." Briar said showing the gem that was chained around her neck. "Wow what kind of gemstone is that it's really pretty?" Anzu asked noticing the gem was cut like an emerald but was green and purple like amnythest. "I'm not sure I've been trying to figure that out... for years. This was a gift from a very... good ... friend of mine." Briar said keeping her hurt feelings down. "Briar you want to come with us to the park?" Anzu asked. Briar nodded and walked with Anzu with the boys walking behind them.

"... Yugi let me out for a moment." Yami said to Yugi as a manifestation that was walking beside him. "Um ok." Yugi said allowing the Pharoh to take over his body for a moment. Yami looked at Briar who was walking ahead a few paces before him. A over whelming tightness nearly crushed Yami's center. It felt as if his heart had nearly jumped out of his chest. Was it because of Briar? Yami walked closer up to the unexpecting girls. He was about to place his hand on Briar's shoulder. He didn't understand why. But just being near Briar appeared to fill him with this unknown feeling. It wasn't bad it actually felt good, really good, his fingers barely brushed over some strands of her midnight black hair. When flashes of a very badly distorted memory flashed before his eyes.


He saw a young girl that appeared to be around 13 and she appeared to be Briar. She was stunned and had some tears running down her face that was a deep red on one cheek from a hard slap to the face. "Stop! What are you doing?" A stern but young voice called. Yami recognized the voice as his own only younger. "Oh young prince. Nothing your highness. Just teaching this Gypsy some manners." The solider said with a sneer. "Gypsy? But she's just a girl." Younger Yami said confused looking at the girl. The girl oddly glared at him with a heavy untrusting look. "Did I do something to upset her?" He wondered as he walked towards her. "Are you alright?" He asked. The girl didn't reply but look down. "I'm not going to be your slave." The girl said sternly although she hid her face from him. "What?" He asked generally confused. "I will not be like my cousins that you have taken away from me. The ones that you terrible kings who teach their greedy sons to overpower anyone they choose and get what they want. You will not harm me like they do to them. I am not weak. You will see." Briar said not missing a beat. Yami's younger self looked at her than smiled slightly. "No ones going to take you seriously miss." He said with a small smirk. "I know... I am a gypsy... There for... I have no right." Briar said with sadness in her voice. "No." The younger counterpart said. "It's not just that-" He stopped and laid a finger on the girls forehead and made her look at his face. His face was generally although young. Just staring at him made the girls face flush. "You have to look someone in the eye when your trying to prove a point miss-" He stopped himself and started to feel his face turn red. The girl was to him... Beautiful. She had green eyes and black hair that was slightly curvy at the end and the nicest soften tanned skin he had ever seen. They were both silent till a slightly older voice said. "Atem where are you?"


The flashes stopped and Yami took a step back, almost as if he had been shoved, breathing a bit heavily. "Wh-What was that?" Yami asked himself his chest felt unbelievably tight. The feeling he felt before, the one that was a mystery to him, had returned tenfold. "Pharoh?" Yugi asked from his soul room concerned. "Yugi... Take over." The Pharoh said almost unable to speak to his counterpart. Yugi took back his body as the Pharoh returned to the coolness of his own soul room. His breathing had calmed and most of that strange emotion he had felt before had all but disappeared. And Yami had a big suspicion that the feeling was hear to stay. He laid a hand over his chest and closed his eyes as he tried desperately to remember the young girl from the memory. But he couldn't find it in himself. The girl seemed to fill him with a spite of dread every time he tried to remember her; he felt like he had his heart ripped out. He wanted to cry but he couldn't place why. Why? Why would he want to cry over her? Who is she? Who was she in the past?

Anxiety filled the ancient Pharaoh he laid a hand over his forehead as a wave of anxiety and dread washed over him. He didn't know where either came from all he knew was he felt guilty... What was he so guilty about? What had happened? Why? What connected everything? The girl? Himself? The other voice? He sat by himself. "What does this mean?" He asked. But his only reply was the silence of his tomb like room.
