Chapter Eight: After 5,000 Years Apart...

The two just stared at each other, tears were rolling down Nitari's cheeks. Around them, it began to change. The living room was now slowly appearing, and the mist was vanishing. Time had past, and sun was beginning to set. The duel was a long one, it seemed. The Millenium Puzzle and Millenium case were glowing.

\\ Yami, what's going on? Who won?\\

\\ Nitari, are you alright?\\ But the two didn't answer. They just continued to stare. Then, jerkily, Yami raised his hand and gently brushed Nitari's tears away. Suddenly, Nitari threw her arms around the king and sobbed into his chest.

"Oh Yugioh!" she sobbed. "I...I thought I had lost you! forever..." Yami, his emotions mixed between surprise and love, patted her head awekwardly, but held her close.  Tears spalshed onto his clothes, leaving damp splotches, but he didn't care. Nitari lifted her head, her eyes red. Gently,  she wipped away the blood on his mouth her hand. Suddenly, he took her hand. Nitari looked up into his red eyes. Their hads slowly moved closer to each toher. Their lips were just centimeters from each other. Nitari closed her eyes, and so did Yami. Just as their lips touched, their pendants glowed, and Arianna and Yugi sperated from the two. The two kids stood there, staring and confused at the other two.

"Huh? Did we miss something here?" Yugi asked. Yami and Nitari looked up, and blushed. Arianna though, was grinning.

"So, this is the infamous pharaoh you've told me about, huh Nit?" the young woman nodded and stood up. Yami did aswell. Arianna walked over to him and put out her hand. "Hey there! My name is Arianna. We haven''t really met, but Nitari has told me much about you!" Yami stared at her hand. Yugi sweatdropped.

"You're supossed to shake her hand, Yami." Unfamiliar with this custom, Yami did so, and Arianna smiled. Yugi looked at Nitari.

"Yami was right, you are very beautiful!' he said, his eyes twinkling. Nitari blushed at this.

"I'm afraid though, Nitari, I don't remember much," Yami whispered. His queen looked at him, tenderness in her eyes. She gently placed a hand on his cheek.

"I believe that would be for the best, tenshi. There is no need for you to remember what happened. It would hurt you too much." Arianna and Yugi exchanged confused glances. Arinna quietly sent Yugi a message telepathicly.

Okay, hang on sec...Now what? Those two are in love with each other... Yugi sweatdropped.

"Oh dear...we do have a problem there!" But then, he just realized that Arianna had just spoke to him in her mind. "Okay, what a sec! You said you would explain who you were!" Arianna and Nitari exchanged nervous looks.

"Yes, I do, don't I?" Arianna whispered. Sighing heavily, she sat down on the couch and closed her eyes. "Well, I guess I should start from the very beginning."
