All disclaimers are located on the 1st chapter.

I apologize for the very late chapter for this story. I lost all my notes for this story, and writer's block. So I'm trying to do this from memory. So I'm hoping that it turns out good, also i do not own the song called Endless night from the Lion King musical. I wrote down the lyrics while I was listening to the soundtrack of the Lion king musical. I do not know how accurate I am on the lyrics.

Anyways please read, review and I hope your enjoying the story.


Sojo sighed as he leaned against the wall of the elevator as his female friend stood there silently. "See it how you like, Catherine. However the truth remains, the barrier between the living and the dead is weakening much faster than we like to believe as well as the barrier between mortals, monsters and gods. William needs to accept his destiny and fast." Sojo said.

"The stupid mutt is to blame for all this. Had he kept a better hold on the book of the dead and the book of amun Ra. This never would have happened!" The girl growled like an angry cat.

" You forget...we were all played as fools by Zorc and his little scam. What was done has been done...it's just not us Egyptian gods who are effected by this. " Sojo stated.

"I know...However are we really gonna get the other gods involved in this mess?" She asked.

"As I stated before...all of us will need to help him. Besides...the Greek gods and the others have been helping us with our little problem for years..."

"Ra, sometimes I swear your lazy. This is an Egyptian problem and should stay in house!" She hissed like an angry cat at him.

"Perhaps, I have gotten lazy...however...our powers are not as strong as they once were. Even you can feel it's toll on us...the other gods are near their final limits with their powers as well. Trying to keep the old Anubis still alive long enough for William to accept his destiny and become the new Anubis is one of our top priorities. We all have to keep that barrier from shattering completely." Soho spoke.

"And we are running out of time Ra, and I know after the final battle to set the Pharaoh's spirit free...the barrier will shatter completely! Sending the mortal world into total choas...we can not play baby sitters forever with him or with the barrier! William must be ready for his fate or the entire world will die." Catherine snarled as her green eyes seemed to glow almost inhumanly.

"You have forgetten one little detail...for the Pharaoh to pass into the after life and seal the millennium items away for good...Anubis must guide him fully through the gate and it's barrier." Sojo spoke softly as Catherine's eyes widen at that as the elevator reached their floor.

"So William will...?" Catherine asked as Sojo stared straight a head without any emotion on his face. "I see." She said softly.


William sighed as he looked up at the ceiling of the hospital. He was listening to Tea, Joey, Tristan and Yugi brain storm different Broadway songs that he could preform. So far everything sounded horrible.

"How about that song from that musical called, Cats?" Joey asked

"Which one?" William asked as he inwardly groaned as he say up right. Do not get him wrong he actually enjoyed the songs and the stage performance but some of those songs were a nightmare for him to actually sing due to how high some of the notes were.

"Memory." Joey said only to yell as William threw a pillow at him.

"I should be murdering you for putting me into this position in the first place, Wheeler! Now you suggest that I sing a song, were it could cause me to go mute for weeks due to its high notes and the fact i have no idea how to play it on a Guitar!?" William snarled in a wolf like fashion as his eyes flickered to a piercing yellow color. His hand grabbed the empty food tray off the table with his good arm.

"It was just an idea... Besides with the fact your missing your memories-" Joey said only to yell as he ducked at the last second before an empty tray could not him across the face.

"I really should murder you, for that comment!" William snarled only to blink as the tray was gently pried from his hand by Tea.

" Honestly Joey, stop getting William all riled up!" Tea scolded him.

"This can't be good for his blood pressure." Tristan lightly scolded as Joey laughed nervously as William growled under his breath at him.

"Hmmm...how about something from Frozen?" Tea suggested as she pulled out her phone to let William listen to the song she had in mind. William listened to it for a moment and shook his head.

"I could probably pull off that song but those high notes would really kill my throat latter." William said. Yugi was quiet as he tried to think of something.

"How about something from Wicked?" Yugi suggested.

"Yugi...I might like the music but I just don't see myself singing something like that in front of a group of people." William said with a frown.

A nurse than entered the room. "Okay kids...visiting time is over." She said before walking away.

"I'm sure you can think of something William...we'll be back first thing in the morning." Tea said. William was silent as they left before he slumped back against the bed. William hated to say this but he felt terrified about performing in front of the entire school. He rarely got stage fright but right at that very minute he could feel the pressure on his shoulders.

Out of the corner of his eye he could have sworn he saw an Egyptian version of himself sitting on the edge of the window looking out it silently. William blinked and the vision vanished into thin air. He sighed as he softly began humming the song he would preform, Endless night.

Suddenly Dr. Wakasa entered the room and place a Guitar onto his lap. "Huh? What is this for?"

" I can't stop you from entering that contest...but I suppose I can at least let ya practice for it as long as you don't disturb the entire hospital. " he said with a small smile. "My son plays guitar all the time in my office. I'm sure he won't mind if you use it to practice."

"Your serious?" William asked with wide eyes.

"If I wasn't serious, you wouldn't be holding a Guitar right now. Latter." Dr. Wakasa said as he left the room. William only shook his head as he turned the guitar and slowly began playing endless night on it as he softly sang the words with his eyes closed.

A few nurses heard him performing and they couldn't help but peak inside the room as they listened and watched him preform the song from memory. Their eyes watered at how sad and yet how beautiful the song was as William seemed to pour his heart into it as he tried to let out the sorrow that swirled inside him like an angry storm. It also helped that William had an awesome singing voice.

Before William drifted off to sleep, Dr. Wakasa took his son's guitar back. He shook his head as he stared at William. "Poor kid, has no idea what he is in for." He muttered softly as he turned and left the room silently unaware William's bracelet glowed softly as the eyes of the Anubis slowly opened.

"Peteh nebw em djerw...saa en soo y saa en pehwy...sedjem wy netcherw n baw...kheba mesha ee ankh em ta hena...kem ee het nebet shaa...ee...djer renpet...kha..." A deep voice chanted as the bracelet trembled as the eyes opened fully as they glowed brightly casting the room in a soft eerie blood red light just as black sand bubbled up from the floor as a mummified image of an Anubis warrior slowly rose up from the black sand. It's blood red eyes locked on William's sleeping form as it stepped closer to him. It's claw like hand reached outwards towards him as it lightly poked it's sharp claw like nail to his forehead.

William 's eyes snapped open glowing a solid ominous red color as his mouth was wide open in a silent scream as his body arched upwards in a frightening way looking like he was going to snap his spine in half. His mouth widen as long nightmarish looking fangs slowly appeared in a inhuman like way as though he was being possessed by a demon that was slowly changing or transforming him into a demon.

Dark energy spiraled and swirled around the room like a fierce wind storm as the Anubis warrior than vanished into thin air. William's body than slumped back down onto the bed as his eyes closed once more. The chanting echoed deep inside William's head for a while before it faded away.


Back at Yugi's place. Yugi woke up with a scream drenched in sweat. He was breathing hard as he looked at his millennium puzzle it had a soft glow to it but Yugi paid it little attention as he went back to bed. He couldn't shake off the feeling something evil was slowly working it's way to the surface.


The next morning William looked as though he hadn't slept for weeks when Yugi and his friends arrived. "William, you look like hell...what happened?" Joey asked.

"Thanks for pointing out how I look horrible,Joey...I'm totally not a morning person." William yawned as he revealed slightly sharper looking teeth than a normal person would have. Yugi had noticed the tiny change in William's appearance but said nothing.

" Hey...you lot are students from Domino City High School right? " Catherine asked them as she entered the room. She was wearing a black long sleeve dress and black low heel shoes.

"Who are you?" Tea asked as Catherine seemed to let out a soft sigh that almost sounded like a soft purring sound.

"I'm Catherine Kasandra. I just over heard that a teacher just moved the date of the battle of the bands for tonight. I look forward to it. By the way i'm Sojo's cousin." She added with a smile.

William sat there looking like he was about to pass out. In reality he was laughing up a storm and thanking Alex for dragging him to get after school drama classes and all those rehearsals. He learned how to mask his real emotions rather well.

"What?!" Everyone screamed. "Tonight is the Battle of the Bands!!! "

Catherine only nodded as she smiled. "Good luck." She said as she turned and left the room. William let out an eep sound as Joey shook him violently. "Please tell me you thought of something! " he screamed.

"Mr. Wheeler, I would appreciate if you don't shake my patients especially ones with amnesia. " Dr. Wakasa said as he poked his head into the room causing Joey to instantly release William who slumped backwards onto the bed. "Your free to leave William..." He added before he walked away.

Yugi and his friends dragged William straight to the game shop where they began going crazy trying to find William something to sing.

"I can't believe that bitch, changed the date! I don't want to be a furry!!!" Joey screamed in dispair after countless hours trying to find something for William to memorize correctly and be able to preform it. They found nothing and time was up. Now it was time to either pull off a bloody miracle or fail horribly at this.

The gang headed to the school. William was oddly calm as he got himself ready for the concert in the Boy's locker room. He came out of the boy's locker room wearing a white turtleneck shirt under a black jacket, black jeans and black shoes. His guitar hung loosely on him.

"Nervous?" Tea asked in concern.

"Nervous? Not really...just really, really annoyed. Wheeler is so dead meat if i have to wear that God awful outfit." William grumbled in irritation.

"Good luck William, and break a leg. " Tristan said.

"I'll break Joey's." William added coldly as he took a step towards Joey.

"Don't really do it! " Joey added nervously as he his behind Tristan for protection.

"Why not?" William asked.

"William, you'll be just fine...I just know it." Yugi said before William watched as his friends leave to take their seats in the audience. He began feeling a bit of a stage fright as he watched the other people preform. There were a lot of horrible singers and performers that were butchering beautiful songs. However there were also few very good singers and performances as well. William highly doubt anyone would like his performance all that much.

Finally the time came were William slowly stepped out into the stage as he sat down on a chair to preform. He took a few calming breaths before he began playing his guitar. He kept his eyes closed as he played the song.

Where has starlight gone?

Dark is the day.

How can I find, my way home?

Home is an empty dream.

Lost to the night!

William began singing causing all eyes to widen as jaws dropped at just how beautiful his singing voice was. Yugi froze as he recognized the song. "Endless night from the Lion King?" He whispered as he looked at William who honestly looked so heart broken and grief stricken that it was enough to make the spirit of the puzzle to watch William in concern.

William, what are you hiding that pains you this much that you have to hide it behind a mask? Yugi wondered.

Father, I feel so alone.

You promised to be there!

Whenever I needed you,

Whenever I call your name

You're not anywhere!

William kept singing as he played his guitar perfectly. Tea was startled at just how much raw emotion William seemed to be pouring into his performance which made this performance so heart wrenching.

I'm trying to hold on!

Just waiting to hear your voice.

One word, just a word will do.

To end this nightmare.

Joey stared on in disbelief as his jaw just hung open in pure shock. He glanced towards the person he made the bet with and saw the person looking so startled that he looked ready to have a heart attack. I knew William was good but I didn't think he was this good! Maybe we won't end up as furries. Joey wondered to himself. Tristan was reading up at how emotional this song was.

When will the dawning break!

Oh endless night!

Sleepless, I dream of the day...

When you were by my side!

Guiding my path...

The song was so sad and yet beautiful. Yugi's eyes began watering as he wondered just how sad William was without his memories and how much he was secretly hurting inside. In a weird way Yugi felt like William was slowly torturing himself.

Father, I can't find the way!

You promised to be there!

Whenever I needed you!

Whenever I call your name,

You're not anywhere!

Teachers and students were starring wide eyes at William in total disbelief and in amazement. All the girls looked ready to start crying besides looking ready to jump up on stage and cuddle William to death as they comforted him in any way. The guys all day there with wide eyes and jaws hanging open in disbelief.

I'm trying to hold on!

Just waiting to hear your voice.

One word, just one word will do.

To end this nightmare.

In the far back of the auditorium Sojo and Catherine stood there watching and listening in silence. "So the mutt can sing...ha! I'll never let him live this down." She added with a sly grin. Sojo only shook his head.

"He's good...but I've heard better. " He said with a small smile. "You forget, the old Anubis and William are not exactly the same person."

I know the night must end

And that the sun must rise.

And that the sun must shine!

I know the clouds must clear.

And that the sun will shine!

And I'll hear your voice deep inside!

I know the night must end!

And that the sun will rise!

And that the sun will shine!

I know the clouds will clear!

And that Sun will shine!

William finished singing and ended the song. He almost jumped in alarm from all the clapping and cheers he got from the audience. A teacher came into the stage smiling. "The winner of the battle of the bands by a land slide goes to William Dracon!" The teacher spoke with a wide smile.

"I actually won? " William asked in disbelief. However he was more startled when he was suddenly tackled by Yugi who jumped up onto stage and hugged him tightly. William gave a nervous laugh at this.

"You said you didn't know any Broadway songs!" Joey growled as he came onto the stage along with Tea and Tristan.

"I might have lied just to teach you a lesson, Joey... " William said only to yelp as Joey pulled him into a head lock.

"You almost gave me a heart attack, you jerk!!!!" Joey screamed.

"Get off Joey... Ow! Careful of the shoulder!" William growled in warning.

"William, I promise we will do everything we can to help you regain your memories." Yugi said unaware he was twisting a knife of guilt even further deep inside the shattered remains of William's heart.

The student Joey made the bet with slowly approached. "Hey Dracon, sorry for bad mouthing ya. You're not too bad of a singer." The guy said.

" Thanks, I think. " William said. The student smirked before he looked at Wheeler.

"Say Wheeler, I bet 5000 yen that you can't find someone who can cook in the high school cook offs next week." The student stated.

"5000 yen? " Joey asked.

"5000 yen. " he said revealing the money. Joey instantly had stars in his eyes.

"Joey...don't You dare." William growled.

" Your on! " Joey said.

"Great, just know if you fail you have to wear the dog costume for three months straight. Just you, Joey." He laughed as he walked away.

Joey slowly looked at William. "Oh William..."

" Do not get me involved in any of this! " William shouted as he started walking. "Your on your own!"

"Please, Will!!!! " Joey begged.

"No!" William shouted as Joey followed him with a puppy dog look. The two bickered back and forth until William finally snapped and took off chasing after Joey with a few threats of bodily harm. Yugi, Tristan and Tea laughed as William placed Joey in a head lock.

"For an injured person you are moving around just fine!" Joey cried out as he struggled to break free.

"Sheer dumb luck...now you and I are gonna have a little chat about your gambling addiction!! Also stop dragging me into it!!!" William stated as his eye twitched in annoyance as he tightened his grip.

"Too tight...too tight!" Joey gasped for air as William loosen his tight grip just enough so he wasn't sufficating Joey.

"So William, what made you choose Endless Night?" Yugi asked.

"Wanted to do something different..." William answered as he bit the inside of his lip to kepp from telling them about his father and how he just passed away.

"William, just so you know...we are allhere for you if you need to talk." Yugi said with a small smile.

"I know...and thanks." William said.

"Can you let me go now?" Joey asked.

"Let me think about that...uh no." William said as he glared at Joey. "Since you want to gamble about cooking guess what Joey, for all of next week after school until the school cook offs...i'm gonna be teaching ya how to cook."

"Wait, me?!" Joey yelled.

"Welcome to cooking boot camp of hell... By the way i will hunt you down if you don't show up or try to get out of this." William said grinning evilly making Joey whimpear.

"Joey, i think you were better off with the dog custome." Tristan said.

"Shut up, Tristan!" Joey yelled.

"Sounds like fun." Tea said smiling. Yugi laughed nervously at this. He just hoped his mom would be okay with Joey and William using her kitchen all next week. For this wasn't going to end well at all.

To Be Continued...
