Sorry that I've been gone for so long, but due to lack of Internet capabilities and no manga to draw from, I've been delayed in getting these chapters written and published. Please forgive me for this! *bowie*

This is where Selena gets curious...too curious, almost. Once again, I express thanks for all of you who've been reading, subscribing to, and reviewing this story! Keep it up! You're the reason I keep on writing! Even if I don't respond to your reviews, I'm still reading them!

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or anything related to it. All I'm getting out of this is the entertainment of me and my readers, and a respite from boredom. No money. Nada. Zip.

Chapter 14

The Millennium Items (part 2)

You already know that I can sense when the Millennium Puzzle activates. That's true for the rest of the Items. 'Course, at the time I wasn't completely sure that was the case until I'd felt it again with Shadi in the room. Of course, when the second Item was activated, my right eye went haywire. Again.

Selena was studying the picture when the same feeling she got when the Puzzle activated made her shiver. It wasn't the same, but it wasn't different either. Her right eye was tingling, a sign that it was going haywire again. Selena picked up a mirror, and saw that her Demon Eye was active.

It's happening again, she thought. But this time…it's like my Eye is trying to tell me something. What is it?

She closed her eyes and rubbed her palm into them. The feeling intensified, and she got a glimpse of a room. Just a glimpse, nothing more. Selena opened her eyes again. Maybe… she thought, sitting back and closing her eyes again.

She was looking upon a room from above. She felt like she was there and wasn't at the same time, like she was a ghost. This is weird, she thought. Alternate Yugi was talking to a man—the same one as the Egyptian at the museum. Now Selena could see he didn't have the scales with him, but some kind of key shaped like an ankh was hanging around his neck.

What's going on? Selena thought. I can't hear what they're saying.

Selena looked around for somewhere closer she could get to. She'd already determined that she was more of a ball of energy or a floating pair of eyes; her entire body was some kind of spectral form.

Once she'd figured out how to navigate she alighted carefully and silently on a staircase just close enough to eavesdrop on the conversation.

"…it goes." Alternate Yugi was saying. "We're going to play a little game." He snapped his fingers, and the lights came on. Looking around, Selena saw that the place was made up of many levels, all of which had doors facing every which way and staircases leading to who knows where.

Selena whistled. "Talk about a helluva maze," she said, craning her neck to see the entire huge chamber.

"One of these doors leads to my true soul room," Alternate Yugi continued. "You've got to find it. Of course, you're going to have to be careful where you step." He chuckled and disappeared, leaving Selena in the same area as the Egyptian man.

He looked over to the place Selena was standing, making her step back. Creepy, she thought. It feels like he can actually see me.

A moment later the man turned away to start on the challenge. Selena watched him for a few moments before her curiosity got the better of her. By now she wasn't even aware that her right eye was active.

For what felt like hours she explored the chamber, making sure not to open any of the doors. Crap…this place is like the TARDIS. She thought. Ya think you see how big it is from one angle, and it turns out to be ten times that. Okay, maybe not exactly like the TARDIS, but still—

Selena was so immersed in her thoughts that she didn't notice a familiar presence right behind her.

"How on Earth did you get in here I wonder?" Alternate Yugi asked. Selena jumped and (to her chagrin) shrieked. She whirled around to see the alternate Yugi standing in front of her, a smirk on his face. "You're not all there thought. Looks like that Eye of yours brought part of your soul here."

Selena absently raised her hand to her right eye, which was still active. "Don't worry, I won't subject you to a game this time." Alternate Yugi said. "But I suggest you get better control over that Demon Eye of yours and get out before I change my mind."

Selena nodded. "One thing I want to ask before I leave though provided you don't mind."

Alternate Yugi appeared to considering her request. "Go ahead, then leave." He said.

"Who exactly are you?" Selena asked.

Alternate Yugi looked at her long and hard, so long that Selena thought she shouldn't have opened her mouth at all. Crap! I'm gonna get pulled into one of those "games" of his, I just know it. She thought.

Then he closed his eyes and shrugged. "That's an answer that'll have to wait for another time," he said, walking off.

Selena nodded again, closing her eyes. She opened her physical eyes with a gasp, realizing that the entire time she hadn't been breathing. She looked to the clock and saw that she hadn't spent more than a few minutes in that chamber. It felt more like hours, she thought. Where was that? She placed a hand over her right eye, which was now back to normal. I'd like to know who that alternate Yugi is, and if I really should consider him a friend. Something's telling me he wasn't kidding when he said he didn't want me sticking around.

Yep, I just love sticking my nose where it doesn't belong. Or in this case, my soul. This wasn't the end of my escapade that night to boot. Turns out, that Egyptian guy had plans for Yugi. Both of him.

That chapter was pathetically short, I know. But there wasn't anything else I could think of for Selena to do! I swear! The next chapter will be better, I promise.
