(Just a note, thank AnimeGoddess for deciding who woke up first.)

The sun shone through the window, hitting the sleeping couple dead on. Danielle stirred, for she could never sleep when the sun was right in her face. She lazily opened her eyes slowly. She saw Yami across from her, sleeping closely. 'He seems so peaceful.' She noticed that she had a weight on her right hand. When she looked over, she noticed that her's and Yami's hands had intertwined during the night.

'NANI?!?!?! What the heck???' Her mind screamed as her eyes flew wide open. She was blushing furiously as she was trying to figure out how that could have happened. 'It must have been sometime during my dream. Oh man.. I'm glad I woke up before him. Hopefully he won't notice.'

As she was trying to slip her hand away, Yami moved closed to her in his sleep, tightening his grip on her hand. Yep, the blushing came back. 'Did he just..? No, it must be a reaction to his dream or something.'

She looked him over. He was just so peaceful that she didn't have the heart to wake him. 'Maybe I could just wait until he wakes up. I could rest my eyes for a while longer anyway.' Danielle slowly brought herself back down into a comfortable position, hand still holding his. She moved her head closer to his and drifted back to sleep.

~*~An hour later~*~

Yami woke up slowly when he felt something on his hand. He looked over to see Danielle's hand still intertwined with his. His eyes went a bit wide. 'So it wasn't a dream then. Her hand did go into mine. I better get up so she won't be uncomfortable with this when she wakes up.' Yami untangled his hand from hers, causing her to stir slightly.

He looked her over softly. 'I remember now. You were the woman in my dream. But why? And I wonder, do you have the same dreams as I?'

Suddenly, he looked up to see the woman in white again. (I know you were all wondering where the hell she went to...) "It's... you."

The woman came closer and nodded. "You shall have all your answers in due time, young Pharaoh. But I must warn you now. There is an evil after not only you, but her as well. Protect her or all is lost. She will protect you as well."

"What is this evil of which you speak of?"

"It is very powerful and will force her power to grow too quickly. She will need to lean on you for support."

Yami looked over to Danielle, then back to the woman. "I have no problem with that. I just don't want to see her get hurt."

The woman smiled. "I know. You will soon figure out all. Until then, stay close to her. The evil will try many ways to separate you both. Trust each other." A mist surrounded her. "Until we meet again, Pharaoh." With that, she disappeared.

Yami stared at where she once stood and then back to Danielle. "I swear I will protect you."

~*~Meanwhile~*~

In a huge building was a convention. There were many people sitting around waiting for the guest speaker to come up. "Ladies and Gentlemen. I am pleased to present our president and guest speaker, Mr. Seto Kaiba!" A huge round of applause erupted from the room as Kaiba made his way to the stand. 'Pathetic. If only they knew why I insisted the convention be held here.'

~*~Meanwhile again~*~

In the corner of the convention hall stood a figure in the shadows. It smiled and chuckled. "It's all going so well. Now that most of the players are here, let's start the game."
