In the morning, Yugi was waking up, so he sat up and rubbed his eyes. Yawning while opening his eyes, the first person he sees is Yami, not as a spirit, but as a supernatural being. Yami appears to be human, but actually has hidden powers.

"Huh? Spirit? Is that you?" Yami walked over to the light switch and flicked it on, brightening the room up. Then he walked over to Yugi and sat next to him.

"Yugi, it is me, but call me Yami." "Ya...mi?" Yami smiled, and then nodded his head. "Look, I know this may be confusing to you, but the reason I was separated from you and the millennium puzzle is because I'm going to visit my home land." Yugi was confused, but this time he wasn't going to stress about it.

"Your home land? And what land would that be?" Yami's expression appeared to be relaxed, but showed a micro expression of anger. "Egypt. Back then, about 3,000 years ago, I was the pharaoh of Egypt. I want to see what type of person the current ruler is."

Yugi looked hurt, then timidly said, "Yami, Egypt is at war. Egypt is in the worst times it's ever been in. Their economy is falling at a rapid pace-" "I know. That's why I'm going to become Egypt's new ruler." Yugi gasped, and then stood up from his bed.

"Really? That's crazy- but how will you become the new ruler? Egypt doesn't want any more adult-aged rulers; I've heard that from the protestors on TV." Yami walked out to the living room, where everyone was just waking up. Yami clapped his hands twice, then shouted, "Everyone, get up. We're going to Egypt."

"What!? Egypt!? And who are you anyways?!" Hollered Joey as he immediately sat up from his sleeping bag. Yugi ran over to Joey, who was inches away from strangling Yami. Yugi got in the way of Yami with his arms out.

"No, Joey, let me explain! He's the spirit that was once contained in my millennium puzzle, you can trust him! He's my...my...friend." Yami twitched when Yugi said, "He's...he's my friend." *Friend? Why does he see me as his friend?*, thought Yami to himself. Joey calmed down, letting Yami explain why they're coming with him to Egypt.

"So, we're pretty much coming so that we can back up Yugi if they don't believe him as being the holder of the millennium puzzle. Am I right?" Joey asked Yami. "Correct. Now, let's go already, before the current ruler makes his speech, which will be in 48 hours. To Egypt!"

And so, they set off for travel by plane to Egypt, which made Yami quite uncomfortable, considering he's never traveled in a plane before. The flight took about 17 hours. When they arrived, they snuck in the palace quite quickly, getting passed the guards by being invisible; Yami's powers allowed for this.

As they headed toward the huge balcony where the ruler would give his speech, Yami quietly whispered to them, "I will make you all visible again when I call Yugi up to the stand. For now, hide in that corner near the doors."
