I hope you guys liked the last chapter. We got a hint of Bronzeshipping last chapter, along with Tendershipping. Looks like Tea figured out whom Ryou liked, so we all know what she's thinking. ;)

So in the last chapter, Mariku and Malik found the secret base belonging to the assassins, along with a treasure Namu gave Mariku. We even saw how Ryou is now feeling towards Bakura, and how both he and Yugi couldn't get answers from their duel monsters on Heba and Riyu. Hopefully, the museum would help them figure out the mystery behind their ancestors' past. Hope you all like it!

"The museum?" Yami blinked. "You wish to go to the museum tomorrow after school?"

Yugi nodded. "Tea mentioned they found something related to Goddess Wadjet. They'll display it in the Egyptian exhibit tomorrow. We believe it could help us learn more about Heba's past."

"Are you certain? Did they really found something related to the serpent goddess?"

"Tea confirmed it. She showed us an online news article of the Domino City Museum announcing a new discovery for their exhibit. They'll display it tomorrow for the public, so we can go there after school is over and see if it can help us."

Yami folded his arms, and leaned back against his chair. "If you don't mind me asking, why do you wish to learn more about Heba's past?"

Yugi sat on the bed with his legs crisscrossed. "I wanted to learn more on what it was like for him growing up around snakes, along with a serpent goddess as a mother and followers who were their guardians and teachers. Like Ishizu said, Goddess Wadjet adopted Heba and his brothers and she loved them more than anything." A sad smile appeared on his face as he gazed at his lap. "I also wanted the Ka spirits to have closure. They still blame themselves for what happened to them, and I thought maybe they would understand it isn't their fault. Heba and his brothers were only trying to protect the ones they loved. They wouldn't have realized that their lives would be in danger due to what happened in the past."

He lifted his head up to stare at Yami. "Are you up for it? I won't force you if it's too much for you. I know you just got all your memories back of Heba and Viola, and you're still recovering from the ordeal along with our fight against Nehebkau. I don't want you to be in any more pain."

Yami glanced at the ceiling while deep in thought. Its true he is still recovering from getting all of his memories back. He no longer blamed himself for what happened to Heba after Yugi reassured him that both he and Heba cared for their pharaoh. The bond they have is strong, and it can never break. Yami will no longer be heartbroken, because his akhu came back to him in this life.

His Yugi is the reincarnation of Heba, and this time, he won't lose him again. He'll make sure to get stronger and be more prepared. Now that he has his own body, he is able to stay in the modern world and live with Yugi and Grandpa Solomon. Sadly, he'll be dueling against Kaiba a lot since the documents Seto created indicated he's an intern at Kaiba Corporation. He'll have to ask him when they will duel so people will believe he worked at the company.

Closing his eyes for a few minutes, he then opened them and looked back at Yugi. "I'll go to the museum with you. Anything we find there can help us learn more about Heba and his family." His eyes glanced at the golden box, where their decks are resting in. "Your monsters will be able to heal and move on from the past once we visit the museum. They mustn't dwell in the past forever. It is best to move forward."

A small smile appeared on Yugi's face as he nodded his head in agreement. "You're right. Hopefully, whatever we find will help us."

"As long as there is no danger in sight, we'll be okay."

"Or any villain from our past."

"If that happens, then-

"Yami, no. You cannot mind crush them."

"But aibou-

Yugi placed his hand up to silence him. "Mou hitori no boku, only use it if its an emergency. I don't want anyone to believe we're trying to kill our enemies."

"All I do is give them a penalty game and erase all evil within their hearts. It only causes them pain if they can never change."

"I believe you, but its best not to mind crush then unless you have no other choice."

Yami huffed, as a small pout formed on his face. "Oh all right."

"Good!" Yugi beamed. "Now, we should get some sleep. Its already past our bedtime."

"I agree. Also, may I spend the night here in your bedroom?"

"Sure, but why?"

"Grandpa is snoring loudly again."

"I almost forgot your new room is near Grandpa's room," Yugi chuckled. "Okay, you can spend the night here. But you'll also have to watch out for my alarm clock since it does ring loudly in the morning."

"Better than being awoken by Seth. He always made sure I'm up early."

"I won't ask why," Yugi got under the covers. "Also, watch out for Kaiba or Bakura wanting to duel you."

"Like always, I'm prepared for it," Yami joined Yugi under the covers. "Have a good night, akhu."

"Sweet dreams, kkwy," Yugi yawned and closed his eyes, as he softly whispered something before sleeping. "Love you."

A gentle smile appeared on Yami's face as he placed his arm around Yugi and held him close, kissing his forehead and resting his cheek against his head as he whispered back 'I love you too', closing his eyes and letting sleep takeover him. His dreams were filled with him and Yugi playing games and spending time with their duel monsters.

The next day

As the final bell rang, everyone got up from their seats and packed up before heading towards the door. The teacher reminded them of their reading assignment, causing a few to groan at having homework to do. For Yugi and his friends, they were excited to go to the Domino City Museum. They called Ishizu if she knew about the new discovery, and she mentioned she had heard of it, but didn't see it. She informed them to call her back once they see it, and they'll see if the new display has a relation to Goddess Wadjet and her sons or not.

Joey stretched his arms upward. "Dat was a very long class!"

"You almost fell asleep during last period," Tristan replied.

"Like always, school is boring," Joey yawned.

"Besides that, is everyone ready to go to the museum?" Tea asked.

"I am," Yugi answered.

"Me too," Ryou said.

"What about you, Kaiba? After the museum, you'll be able to duel against Yami," Joey mentioned.

Seto closed his briefcase after he finished saving his file on his laptop. "The pharaoh better remember our deal. I won't stop until I finally defeat him once and for all."

Joey frowned and pulled on his cheek. "Bad Seto! Threatening someone is not nice!"

"Pup, what are you doing?"

"Pulling your cheek so you would behave."

"It should be the other way around."

"I do not threaten people!"

"You usually threaten to hit me."

"Only because you won't stop calling me a mutt!"

"You're more of a puppy to me."

"Don't even think about it!"

"Oh brother," Tristan mumbled, while the others sweat-dropped at their bickering.

Realizing they were the only ones left in the classroom, they got their things and left the room. As they went downstairs to the first floor and over to their shoe lockers, they changed into their regular shoes and exited the building. In the courtyard, they noticed some students crowding around something at the front gate.

"I wonder what the fuss is all about?" Tea questioned.

"Don't know. Should we go take a look?" Yugi asked.

"I bet it's a famous celebrity!" Joey grinned.

"Whatever it is, I wanna see!" Tristan replied.

"We'll have to be careful though," Ryou gestured to the huge crowd.

As they carefully maneuvered through the crowd, they got to the front and were surprised to see two individuals they know of surrounded by some students. Most of them were females while only a few were males.

"Wow! I had no idea the King of Games would actually be here!"

"Me too! He's even taller in person!"

"Are you related to Yugi since you have the same hair as him?"

"This person resembles Ryou! Are you his friend who came from England?"

"Do you also have an accent like Ryou does?"

"How long will you be staying here in Domino City?"

As more and more people continued to question them, Yami looked a little uncomfortable while Bakura was ready to snap at them. Wanting to diffuse the situation, Yugi waved them over. "Yami! Over here!"

Yami looked over and smiled in relief. "Yugi! Thank goodness you're here!"

Bakura scowled and glanced at the others. "Landlord, get me out of here! They're acting like pesky insects!"

Ryou sighs. "Bakura, I said I would pick you up when school is over. How long have you waited at the gates?"

"Forever! Why do you even need to go to school in the first place!?"

"They need an education. Also, you only waited here for 5 minutes."

"Don't butt in, pharaoh!"

"Okay, that's enough!" Tea clapped her hands loudly. "Everyone, please move away from them. They need some air to breathe. You can talk to the King of Games, and the British man another time. We're in a huge hurry here!"

Bakura quirked his eyebrow. "I'm Egyptian, not British."

Seto stepped forward and gave the crowd an icy look. "I suggest you all get out of my way before I decide to sue you people. Your choice."

Gulping at the icy, tense atmosphere, the crowd quickly dispersed and left the gates as the limousine pulled up in front of the entrance. The door opened, revealing Mokuba who waved at everyone. "Hey guys! Who needs a lift to the museum?"

"Not a huge fan of crowd, other me?"

"I'm afraid not, aibou. Your classmates were way too close to my liking."

"I hope they didn't say anything weird or tried to touch you."

"Luckily, they didn't. You arrived at the nick of time to stop them before they could do that."

"How long have you waited at the gate? We could've met up at the game shop and arrive at the museum together."

"I figured it would be faster if I wait for you near the gates when your school is done. I guess I should've been more careful due to my title as King of Games."

"Next time, wear a disguise."

"I'll keep that in mind, akhu."

Their conversation ended as the limo stopped, causing everyone to exit out of the vehicle as they arrived at the entrance of the Domino City Museum. They spotted some people going in and out of the museum, possibly to see the new discovery for the Egyptian exhibit. Besides the news article, the huge banner announcing its big discovery while hanging on the roof is a dead giveaway.

Mokuba raised his eyebrow at the banner. "Whatever the archaeologists had find, it must be extremely valuable and something everyone should see." He shook his head. "They must be rookies since the first thing they need to know is keeping a valuable item safe so it won't get stolen."

"I still detest Egyptian hocus pocus, but you do make a good point," Seto said. "Whoever is in charge of this museum should get better archaeologists and security."

"You do realize that you're insulting Ishizu. She is the museum curator for this place," Tea mentioned.

"Then she should've picked proficient employees instead of rookies."

"I'm pretty sure she knows what she's doing."

"I still don't care."

Joey sighed. "Forget about it, Tea. He's stubborn as a mule."

"I'll keep that in mind," Tea frowned. "But anyways, lets just head inside."

As they all entered through the museum doors, they headed over to the Egyptian exhibit, where they spotted a small group of people gazing at something encased in a glass box. As they walked closer, they heard one of the employee's explaining to the group what it is.

"In this glass case is the golden crown of Goddess Wadjet, along with her necklace made out of pure gold. A team of archaeologists found them in a secret compartment hidden from sight deep within the Temple of Wadjet. Surprisingly, they even found a lotus and papyrus near the jewelry, and still in great condition. Its almost like someone had taken good care of these items for years," the employee explained, as the visitors awed at hearing it.

"What's even more surprising is they found a silver diamond-shaped jewel hidden deep underground. If it hadn't been our advanced technology, they wouldn't have ever discovered it."

As the gang got a closer look, they were surprised and in total awe at what the employee had said. The first glass case had an Egyptian crown made out of pure gold, and filled with jewels fit for a queen or goddess. The necklace is also in gold, with matching jewels so both the crown and necklace can match. The lotus resembled a purple water lily; still looking healthy and fresh like it just recently bloomed. The papyrus flower had a yellow color, nearly resembling a dandelion. However, the other glass case caused Yugi and Ryou to almost lose their breaths.

The diamond-shaped silver jewel shined brightly from the light, resting on the pillow, as it appeared to glow. The beauty of the silver diamond entranced everyone, causing the museum employee to remind everyone to never take any pictures. He then led the visitors to another discovery related to the Mayans, leaving Yugi and his friends to continue gazing at the silver jewel.

Bakura inspected the jewel closely, stretching his lips to turn into an evil smirk. "This is definitely the serpent goddess's creation. This gem is real, and I can feel its power."

Yami agreed. "You are right. I remembered specifically what the red and purple snake gems looked like, and this silver jewel is obviously a snake gem. Its power is amazing."

Ryou tilted his head. "How were they able to touch this gem and bring it here? Those who do not have any snake blood get burned if they touch it."

Yugi nodded. "They were either very brave or smart enough to use something to carefully bring the jewel here without getting injured."

Joey whistled. "If this is what one of the snake gems look like, I can imagine the other jewels must be shiny like this one."

"It also looks pretty rare and valuable. Lets hope the security here is good so no one would rob it," Tristan replied.

"Since it's a snake jewel, they'll get burned and activate the alarm system before they could get away," Tea said. "So its best they remain clueless of what this silver jewel really is."

"Now I really wish I went to Egypt with you all," Mokuba pouted. "I can handle danger well."

"It was too dangerous, Mokuba. You were safer here in Domino than in Cairo," Seto told him.

As the others either talked or gazed at the jewel, Yugi & Ryou were mesmerized to see the silver snake gem in its full glory. They don't know why, but they suddenly feel protective of the jewel, and wanted to keep it safe from outside danger, almost like a parent protecting their child. As they got a closer look, they noticed small movement coming from within the silver jewel, revealing what looked to be a small baby snake staring at them from within.

Yugi tilted his head, causing the baby snake to mirror his movement. Ryou blinked, also making the baby snake blink. Flickering its tongue, the baby snake's scales started to glow in a silver color, causing the whole jewel to shine brightly along with the crown and necklace.

"Okay, that is definitely not normal!" Joey pointed at the glowing jewels.

Yami & Bakura noticed their hikaris' were still staring at the jewel, and realized it was coming from the silver snake gem. They tried to pull them away, but they wouldn't budge.

"Yugi, please snap out of it! You're being put under a spell!"

"Stop staring at the snake gem, yadonushi! It's trying to control you!"

A purple mist covered in sparkles escaped from Yugi's lips, while a blue mist covered in sparkles escaped from Ryou's lips. They both started to mumble something, as the items belonging to Wadjet flashed the entire room, causing them both to close their eyes as their ears picked up on a small whisper.

"You have returned, my snake princes~"

As he opened his eyes, he gasped to see he was no longer in the museum. His amethyst eyes moved from left to right as he studied his surroundings. To him, it looked like some sort of garden, filled with flowers that are native to Egypt. He noticed some palm trees, bushes, and a pond were nearby. To him, it felt like he was at peace.

Yugi's ears picked up on music being played, like someone playing an instrument. He has no idea what type of instrument is being used, but it sounded familiar to him. Following the music, he didn't realize there was a pathway leading him to the sound. As he got closer, he stumbled upon the individual playing the music, who is blowing against a leaf.

His eyes widened in astonishment, seeing the individual resembled him by hair, face, height, and appearance. Besides having a darker skin tone, he studied the individual's outfit, which is a purple Egyptian outfit with a pair of Egyptian shoes that cover his feet, a necklace with a snake charm biting against an amethyst gem, two white snake bracelets on both of his wrists, and a ring on his finger.

"Heba…" he whispered to himself.

As the music came to its final note, the individual finished playing and opened his eyes, revealing a pair of amethyst eyes staring at Yugi. He placed the leaf aside as he gave him a gentle smile. "It is nice to finally meet you, Yugi. I am glad we are able to meet in person."

Yugi's breath hitched as he noticed a familiar purple snake resting on the bench next to Heba. "V-Viola?"

Viola flicked her forked tongue out while staring at him. She slithered onto Heba's lap and rested there, still keeping her gaze at Yugi.

Heba stroked her scales, hearing her purr as he continued to gaze at Yugi and patted the spot next to him. "Please come here and sit with us. We have much to discuss."

Yugi slowly nodded his head, as he went over to the bench and sat down on it. His mind still can't comprehend that he's actually talking to Heba, his ancestor from 5,000 years ago. The son of Goddess Wadjet, brother to Riyu and Namu, snake prince of Buto, and Atem's lover. Is he actually dreaming, or is this too real?

"H-How can you be here? A-Am I dreaming, or is this the afterlife?" Yugi asked him. "And where exactly am I? Where are my friends?"

Heba gave him a comforting smile. "We are in the Garden of Isis. This place is where both the living and the dead are allowed to interact with one another without disrupting the balance. You are not dreaming, and you are not dead. The silver snake gem brought you here."

"But how is that possible? Why would it bring me here? And are my friends okay? Are we the only ones here?"

"The silver snake gem activated my mother's power, since it recognized you as my descendant. It brought you here because you were curious about my past." Heba looked at the clear blue sky. "Your friends are okay. They are still in the living world with your body, and it's only just us 3."

"W-Wait! What do you mean my body is in the living world!? Am I just a spirit here!?"

"Calm down, Yugi. Your soul brought you here to the garden, but it could not bring your body so it's still in the land of the living. You'll be able to regain control of your body once you awaken. As long as your friends keep your body safe, there will be no problems for you to return home."

"I-I see," Yugi said, running his fingers through his hair. "H-How did you knew I was curious about your past?"

Heba softly chuckled. "I had the same expression as you when I wanted to learn more about my mama's past. I always wondered what her life was like before and after she became the serpent goddess. I was too curious and had to ask her in person." He cocked his head to the side. "You wished to know what it was like for me to grow up as the adopted son of Goddess Wadjet?"

"I-If you don't mind. I really wanted to talk to you, and hopefully give my duel monsters some closure once they see you again."

"I don't mind at all. Also, are you talking about your Ka spirits?"

"Yes. Would you like to see Silent Magician, Silent Swordsman, and Gandora?"

"Please do. It would be very nice to see them again."

Yugi fished his deck out of his deck holder, and looked through his cards until he pulled out 3 of them and held them out. "Silent Magician! Silent Swordsman! Gandora, the Dragon of Destruction! I summon you 3!"

A flash of light appeared from the cards and it brought out the 3 monsters from his cards, as they hovered in front of them. Heba silently gasped, slowly standing up as Viola slithered off his lap. "My Ka spirits…"

Silent Magician & Silent Swordsman turned their heads; their expressions turned into shock and disbelief. Gandora growled, but it wasn't intimidating. Heba reached his hand out to them, as a small tear ran down his cheek. "Zahra… Sefu… Gandora… I am happy to see you all again…"

The duel spirits couldn't believe their eyes, as they saw their deceased master right in front of them. It couldn't be possible, since their other master Yugi is also here with them. But as they felt Heba touch them, that's when they realized it was all real, and not a dream. A tear streamed down Silent Magician's cheek, causing her to tremble as she lunged at Heba and hugged him tightly. Silent Swordsman, who held them while Gandora wrapped his huge wings around them to join the group hug, then joined her.

Yugi smiled at the reunion, feeling his heart warmed up at how touching and endearing it is. He then felt something nudging his arm, causing him to look over to see Kuriboh and Marshmallon floating near him. They made cooing noises while rubbing themselves against him, causing him to laugh as he hugged them.

Wiping away his tear, Heba pulled away and looked at his Ka spirits. "My friends, please listen to me. Do not blame yourselves for what happened to me. I am responsible for my own actions." He placed his hand up to stop them from speaking. "I gave up my life to protect my mate from getting hurt, and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. He is very important to me, just like how you and everyone else in our family are precious to me. All of you mean the entire world to me, and I will never let anyone hurt you. I love you all with all my heart."

He gestured his hand over to Yugi, who is holding Kuriboh and Marshmallon. "Even though I am deceased, you still have Yugi as your new master. Please let go of the past, and focus on the future. Don't let the hurt affect you. All I ask is to stay by his side, and protect him. I know he will do the same for all of you."

Silent Magician & Silent Swordsman looked at each other, and then at Gandora. Seeing Gandora nod his head, they looked at each other and then back at Heba as they nodded their heads in agreement. Their action caused Heba to smile, as he closed his eyes and laughed. "Thank you for understanding. I am happy you all chose to move forward."

They bowed to him, as they soon faded away and went back inside the cards, causing Kuriboh and Marshmallon to also go back into their cards. Yugi placed them back in his deck, and held them in his hands. "I'm glad they got the closure they need. I didn't like seeing them in pain."

"You have a kind heart, Yugi. I can see why your kkwy loves you so much."

Yugi blushed, and placed his deck back in his deck holder as he stood up. "V-Viola told me the story of how you and Atem first met and fell in love. Have you two finally reunited?"

Heba nodded. "We did. It took 5,000 years for us to reunite with each other again, and I'm glad it happened. I couldn't be in the afterlife because my soul was chosen to be reincarnated into the next life. I was asleep for so long, that I had no idea mama would find me and awaken me from my slumber." A sad smile appeared on his face. "I am happy, but sad though. I'm glad she was able to find me, but sad she lost me to death because of my sacrifice. I never meant to break her heart and cause her to cry. I had no idea the circumstances would be different."

Yugi clutched his chest, feeling the pain aching his heart. Many emotions ran through his head: regret, anger, sadness, despair, and guilt. He knew they're not his feelings, but Heba's. Since they're both reincarnations of each other, they can feel what the other is feeling.

"Do you still wish to know about my past, Yugi?"

No longer feeling the pain in his chest, he gazed at his ancestor and nodded. "I still do."

"Then please come closer. It'll be easier for me to show you."

Yugi walked over to him, until he stopped and stood in front of him. He then saw Heba grabbing both of his hands and holding them in front of him, intertwining his fingers with Yugi's. A gasp escaped from Yugi's lips as his vision changed, letting him see a timeline of Heba's first meeting with Goddess Wadjet and his brothers all the way to when he grew up at the age of 16. He saw images of what their home is like underground, how they adapted to their environment, interacting with Goddess Wadjet's followers, and the love they received from her.

He didn't know how long he saw Heba's memories, until they stopped and his vision changed at seeing Heba's face. Yugi slowly removed his hands from Heba's and placed them on his heart. "H-How did you do that?"

Heba placed a finger on his lip while giving him a wink. "That is a secret."

"I'm still amazed you let me see your memories. I thought you would tell me."

"I figured this would be easier and faster since there is a time limit here in the garden."

"There is?"

Heba nodded, as Viola slithered onto him and rested on his shoulder. "Here in the Garden of Isis, we are given a limited amount of time so the balance of life and death will not break its cycle. We already used most of our time here, so we must be quick before you go back to the landing of living and I go back to the afterlife."

"B-But I still have so many questions! I know we cannot talk much about the snake gems, but the silver snake gem in the museum somehow got found! Why is there a baby snake in there!? What did I even say that was foreign to me?! Is Ryou also meeting his ancestor like I am!?"

"Remain calm, Yugi," Heba placed his hands on his shoulders. "There's no need to fret. I believe the silver gem deliberately wanted to be found so it can meet you and your friend. The little snake put you both in a trance and had you both chant something related to our snake clan. Your friend Ryou is probably with my brother Riyu, who are in a different garden but still in the same location."

Yugi opened his mouth, but then closed it. The baby snake in the silver snake gem used its powers to bring him and Ryou to this place. Since Goddess Wadjet created the snake gems, her powers made them activate if they're near the snake princes. Since it activated when it was near them both, what does it even mean?

"Yugi, the silver snake gem activating its powers would mean both you and your friend have snake blood within you. Its also possible Namu's descendant also has snake blood within him." Heba removed his hands while giving him a serious expression. "You must promise me that the 3 of you will not tell anyone about your snake blood nor your connection with mama's snake gems. You don't want to put your loved ones in danger, especially since Nehebkau almost took away your mate from you."

"I can never forgive Nehebkau for trying to kill Yami."

"I couldn't forgive Heishin for trying to kill Atem. For now, remain brave, strong, and kind. Those traits will help you get through anything."

"Even when I'm at my lowest?"

"Correct. Remember, we are both different from each other. You are Yugi, a normal boy who loves games. You are a strong, kind, smart, and courageous young man. Your family believes in you. Your friends believe in you. Your mate believes in you. Viola and I believe in you."

Viola hissed in agreement, slowly nodding her head as Heba's expression turned soft. "I also have one request for you. Would you be willing to accept it just for me?"

Yugi nodded, feeling his heart burst in warmth at hearing his ancestor's compliments. "What kind of request do you have?"

"If you and your loved ones encounter mama's snake gems, please return them to our home. Do not let anyone use them for evil purposes. Only the cobra queen can control their powers."

"I know the silver snake gem is in the museum, but don't you and your brothers have the rest?"

"They have scattered after our deaths, and are now guarded by a Ka. You will know where they are by sensing them. Your Ka spirits will help you find them."

"The jewels won't burn me?"

"They won't. They'll recognize your scent and snake blood within you. They'll see you as their family and not their foe."

Yugi thought about it, as his mind went through the pros and cons in accepting it. Since this is a request, he'll accept it. He was able to meet Heba, and was able to learn more about his past. His duel monsters were able to reunite with Heba, and moved on from their pain. On the other hand, this could mean another adventure and he really didn't want to deal with any more danger.

Since the gems are guarded by a Ka, their duel monsters will help them fight against them in a duel. They'll need to be careful and not get hurt, since this is something involving Goddess Wadjet's snake gems. He still found it surprising that he has snake blood within him, except he doesn't want to know if he can communicate with snakes or not.

He looked back at Heba. "I'll accept, but it will take a while."

"Then please take your time. Just please make sure they don't fall into the wrong hands."

"I won't let that happen. I promise."

Heba smiled, and hugged him. "Thank you, Yugi. I knew I could trust you."

Yugi hugged him back. "Its no problem at all. The both of us will do anything to lend someone a helping hand."

"That is true," Heba laughed. He looked up at the sky for a bit, and then broke the hug. "It is time for you to return back home, Yugi. Our time here is almost up."

"I see," sadness appeared on Yugi's face. "I wish we could talk more, but you must return to the afterlife with your loved ones."

"And you must return to yours as well. Once you and your kkwy depart for the afterlife, Atem and I will be able to see you again."

"I hope so. For now, I want to focus on the present."

"I understand. Also, please give your kkwy a message from me."

He whispered the words in Yugi's ears, causing him to repeat them in his head until they stayed in his mind. As he finished and gave him another smile, Heba whispered again as they both faded away from the garden. "Its time to wake up, Yugi."

What did you all think? Please review and comment! I hope you guys liked the interaction between Yugi and Heba. Ryou will explain his interaction with Riyu in the next chapter so stay tuned! Like I said, please review!
