Yugi woke up, not remember what happened for a moment. He looked around to see Yami and Hikaru looking at him anxiously.
"I'm glad you are all right," Yami said looking relived, "We both forgot you are not used to this."
"It's all right," Yugi said, standing up.
"I should warn you, many of Torina's memories are not pleasant," Hikaru said. Yugi nodded, recalling what he knew of Pegasus.
"Then we should move fast," Yami said. They headed down the hallway. Yugi opened the first door.
"Now Torina, it's only for one night," Ariana Pegasus said soothingly.
"But Mommy..." Five year old Torina started to protest.
"Tori, how about this: if you go stay with Uncle Max tonight, I'll let you keep my Millennia Diamond," Ricardo Pegasus said.
"Really?" she asked, wide-eyed. He nodded with a smile. "Ok!" she said finally.
"That's my girl," Ricardo said with a smile, taking the necklace off and putting it around her neck.
"Hmm... we might need to find a smaller chain for you though," Ariana said with a small chuckle. It was quite big on her. They dropped her off at Maximillion Pegasus's home, and drove off. Unfortunately, there was something wrong with the fuel injection, and on the way to the restaurant, their car blew up taking the lives of her parents.
"Torina, wake up," Pegasus said, shaking her slightly.
"Uncle Max?" she said, a bit disoriented.
"Torina, there's something I need to tell you. There was an accident with your parent's car. They didn't make it," he said. While he seemed upset enough, Torina had a strange feeling. But as her eye caught the Millennia Diamond, her heart filled with sadness and she knew her parents were truly gone. Pegasus left, and Torina buried her head in the pillow and cried.
Yugi and Yami looked at each other, not sure what to say. Finally, Yami suggested going to another door. They did so, only to see a slightly older Torina sitting on her bed, crying. Hikaru appeared from inside the Millennia Diamond, and looked at Torina. When she saw her tears, Hikaru became scared.
"Torina, what's wrong?" Hikaru asked worriedly. Ten-year-old Torina looked up at Hikaru with tear-streaked eyes.
"Uncle Max *hiccup* hit me again," she cried.
"There, there, my aibou, it will be all right," Hikaru said, setting her on her lap and rocking back and forth. Hikaru began to hum an old lullaby and Torina relaxed and fell asleep. Hikaru healed her wounds, which weren't too bad, and laid her down on the bed, tucking her in and kissing her forehead. This 'Uncle Max,' as Torina called him, was a monster- one who got his kicks from beating on a little girl.
Yami, Yugi and Hikaru left the room as quickly as they entered. The boys looked at Hikaru- a tear ran down her cheek.
"There were so many times," she said. "So many times I wished I could help her. but we both knew if he found out about me, he'd take me away." She looked towards another door. "Let's try this one." Yugi nodded and opened the door.
"Jessi, I'm sorry!" said Torina, now looking around her current age and in a private school uniform. "But I just can't get that for you! There's no way." Jessi, a blonde standing next to Torina, with an angry look on her face, shook her head.
"What kinda friend are you, Torina?" she asked, in an annoyed tone. "I mean, keh, it was me who introduced you to all the popular people and got you all the friends you have and you can't get me one simple Duel Monsters card?"
"Jessi, there are only four Blue-Eyes White Dragons in the world and all four have owners- I can't ask my uncle to have a new one made just for..." Jessi suddenly spit in Torina's face.
"You can forget having any friends in this school, Torina. And you will pay for the mistake you just made."
Hikaru dragged Yugi and Yami out of the room and slammed the door behind them. She couldn't take that memory anymore.
"This is getting us nowhere," she said. "But I can't find the Eye of Anubis door- I swear, it was just here!"
"You haven't looked down here," called a voice. It was a cruel, cold voice that echoed through the place like it was hollow. All the group could do was follow the voice, which they did. Yami, Hikaru and Yugi ran down the hall- at the end was the eye of Anubis... and another person who looked remarkably like Torina. But you could tell by the evil shadow in her eyes and the symbol on her shirt- the symbol of darkness- that it was not the real McCoy.
