Yugi sat alone in his apartment, his grandfather still ran the Game shop, but he was getting old. Then Yugi would take over the business, but his mind wasn't on that. It was set on Giya-Gina..... It has been two days since I..... Yugi could barely even think about it. He felt like it was his fault that Gina was now like she was. Lifeless.... and he couldn't do a damn thing about it. He pounded his fist into the desk, he didn't want to think about it, but his mind wouldn't let him let go of the indent. Yugi grasped his head in his hands I'm so sorry, Gini, God I'm so sorry. I should have listened to what Giya had said. But my heart was ruling over my head. Yugi cried, more then he had ever cried in his life. He had cried himself to sleep and what happen to Gina haunted his dreams.

Giya woke up from her sleep seeing servants all around her, one offered to help her up but she declined. She ripped the covers off of her, and walked around looking for her assister. She coughed, multiple times and couldn't stop. She knew what was happening,..... it was her physical body getting weak and weak each day that passed. She found the former queen reading, and hugged her around the neck "What are you doing, grandmother?" (a.n. Giya would call Isis her grandmother well because she is well you get it). Isis looked at Giya and smiled "Looking for something child." Giya had confusion written on her face "What do you mean??" She asked. Isis only smiled more "Come with me" and Giya did follow her grandmother. Giya had a bit of a clothing change, now she wore what ancient Egyptians would have worn except more concealing. Isis lead her to a HUGE room, and Giya couldn't get over the size of it "wow..." was all Giya could say.

"Yes it is a pretty big room isn't it?" Isis said and Giya nodded. She smiled and held out her hand "Take my hand Giya and I will so you all, that you need to know." Giya looked at Isis calm and kind sapphire eyes, and took her grandmother's hand. Isis took her to a certain corner of the room "I know the woman who had put this curse upon my family. I fought her once for your Grandfathers hand. The Pharaoh had chosen me to be his bride, and his father chose her to his bride as well." Giya gasped at what her Grandmother told her. "Yes, we had to play the shadow games, sure she had studied all her life but I was a natural at it. She had almost beaten me, but I had a powerful ally she did not." Giya was now fully into her grandmother's story so she nodded. "I had Exodia on my side, I had beaten her and I won my Pharaoh's hand. But she had sworn to get even with me, and my decedent's which I was fearful of.. But he had told that she couldn't do anything to our new family...witched I hoped was true and I still do..." Isis started to cry. "You don't have to cry. Just tell me what to do to get back to my body, please.." Isis turned and smiled" Of course. Well to get back to your body you and Yami will have to go through 'the trials' " Giya filtered this, and nodded "'the trials' hmmmm.......I'll do anything to get back..." Isis looked over at Giya. "Anything???" Isis asked and Giya didn't get what she was asking. Then it hit her like cold water hitting her back "Well I don't know about that...." Isis smiled once more, and nodded. "I'll take you through the first part to the trials. But from then on only Yami-Yugi and your shadow creatures can help you." Giya nodded taking all that in.

Yugi woke up his face all red, he wiped his face with his sleeve. He looked at his Millennium Puzzle.....If I didn't have this thing maybe that wouldn't have happened to Gina... Yugi thought. He held the Millennium Puzzle tightly, then he felt Yami stand before him "Yugi I know how you feel....But wish you didn't have the puzzle won't change things. What's done is done and it can't be changed. I wish I could change it to but I can't. Does it make sense Yugi?" Yami said, and Yugi nodded. Yami smiled "Come lets see Giya-Gina." just hearing the name made Yugi jump up with joy. Yami rejoined Yugi and Yugi was still in charge of the body. Yugi walked out of the building and walked over to Gina's house.

Giya followed Isis through a large forest, to the begging gate to the trials. "How long will it be, till we reach the gate grandmother?" Giya asked. "In about ten minutes, my child" Isis shouted so Giya could hear her. Giya couldn't believe it was that short to the gate, and it didn't seem long till they even got to it. "Now Giya, that man at the gate will ask you three questions. What the question's are I don't know." Isis reached into a satchel and handed a short knife and some other weapons to Giya. "Take these you will need them during the trials good luck, and answer the questions truthfully." and with in seconds Giya was left alone with no one to help her she needed to answer the questions on her own. Be true to your heart... Giya thought to herself, as she approached the gate. A man held up is hand "You young one will have to answer my questions truthfully to pass. What is your name?" Giya thought because, she had two names but shrugged to herself "Gina Ran and Giya" She answered. The man looked at her harder "What is your quest?" She looked at herself "My quest is to get back to my life in my world or back to my physical body" The man nodded. Giya sighed in relief "Who is your one true love?" Giya smiled when she was reminded of Yami-Yugi. "Yugi Moto also known as Yami" The man nodded, "You may pass young one." Once again Giya sighed in relief. She had passed the first trial... for her life.

Yugi walked in the door waving to Xenia, and she waved back as he walked up the stairs to Gina's room. Yugi opened the door just a little bit, just to look in. Then opened the door fully, and walked in. He kneeled beside the bed and ruffled Gina's hair. I'm a louse piece of fucking shit! Yugi cursed at himself. Then her heard Yami "Yugi what did I tell you????" Yugi sighed, and hung his head between his legs when he sat down on the floor. "That it wasn't our fault. But I just feel like this" Yami nodded "Well so do I but I don't call myself that." Yugi nodded "I know Yami" Yami got an angry look on his face "Then don't do it!!! For Kami's sake!!" Yugi couldn't help but smile "Thank you, Yami." Yami's face softened with a smile "Your welcome, Yugi"

Yugi looked at Gina's face wondering what was going on in that head of hers. Maybe she playing a game... Yugi mused, and caressed her hair and cheek. Then Gina's face turned into a cold angry stare like it had heard what Yugi had thought. Yugi shivered, "Creepy..." was all Yugi could say. Then Gina's face turned back to its normal stare, a sleep like trance state. Yugi sighed he wondered if Gina was ever going to come back.

It was hour's before Yugi finally left, he kissed her cheek saying "I'll be back tomorrow.." When he leaned up, he saw her smiling which gave him chills up his spine. Can she really hear me? Yugi wondered, and walked out the door.

Giya wandered in the new place she looked around, "Wow this place is big.." she whispered. Then she put on her serous face she needed to do her next task. She thought I need to find a old man. But she didn't know where this man could be located, but she asked around. "An old man, ya I know where he could be found. He's in that hut right over there" Giya slapped her head and nodded "Thank you sir" The man smiled and nodded. She walked to the hut and as soon as she walked in the old man said "You need the young man with you, come back when he is with you.." Giya didn't ask questions, nodded and walked out the door. How can I get Yami-Yugi here?? She wondered, like if something had answered her prayers, she looked up to find a potion shop. She smiled and walked in the door.

She looked around looking for the owner of the shop. When she looked at the counter she saw an tan-skinned woman there. "Excuse me, could you help me?" She asked the woman. The woman looked at the girl "Yes I can help you. What do you need?" Giya walked closer to the counter and leaned in "I need to get someone here with me. So he can help me" The woman nodded, and smiled "Please to the back" She said as she walked away from the counter, and Giya followed her. They walked into a room, that was like a fortune teller's room Crystal Ball and all. The woman sat at the table, and Giya sat at the other end. "So who do you need young Giya?" Giya wasn't that shocked almost everyone here knew her. "I need a boy named Yugi Moto" The woman nodded, "Yes the young Yami... will you watch the store while I work?" Giya nodded.

Yugi walked home, almost near his apartment. What he didn't know was that his friends, Tea, Joey, Tristan, Bakura, and even Seto Kaiba (Yeah I know Kaiba isn't Yugi's friend but now's a good time to start) noticed the last few days Yugi had been down. Bakura looked out the window to see Yugi coming "Hey guys, he's coming!" When Bakura said that everyone walked or ran to a hiding place and Joey couldn't stop laughing. "Shut-the-hell-up Wheeler!!" Kaiba spoke quietly, and Tristan put his hand on Joey's big mouth to shut him up. Yugi unlocked the door and walked in. Everyone but Kaiba cheered, Yugi wondering what the hell was going on asked "What are you guy's doing here??" Kaiba smirked "Were here to cheer you up, Yugi. You've been down lately, a little to much for me" Everyone had to agree with Kaiba and smiled. Yugi gave a weak smile to make them feel better, to assure them he was alright.

Giya minded the store while the woman worked, and heard her doing this strange chant in Egyptian. Well the woman is Egyptian... Giya thought. She stood at the counter bored for at least an hour, then the woman came out. "Yami will only be with you while he sleeps such as you young Giya" She sighed only while he sleeps, that sucks but I gotta take what I'm give. Giya thought, but she at least she managed to get him at all. "Thank you ma'am" She bowed, and when she was about to walk out the door the woman said "You can wait here for him" Giya turned and smiled "Thank you" and she sat on the floor waiting for Yami-Yugi.

Everyone including Kaiba was glad that Yugi was feeling better. But Bakura knew that Yugi was still troubled by what he did. Yugi yawned "Hey guys its late and I need to sleep" They nodded, and one by one they left and Bakura was the last to leave. "Yugi, if you need help we will be here for you. Even Kaiba will be" Yugi smiled and nodded "Thank you Bakura, that means a lot to me." Bakura smiled and left. Yugi closed the door and got dressed for bed. He laid on the sheets, and fell instantly asleep.

"What in the world" Yami said, he looked at himself "I guess I have to be Yami..." he said. Yami walked and looked around, as he stood one man came and looked at him also his attire. "Your Yami aren't you?" the man asked, Yami shocked answered "Yes I am, why?" The man looked both ways then leaned closer to Yami's ear. "There is a girl waiting for you in the poison shop. Hurry!" and before Yami could ask more about the subject the man disappeared. Yami sighed Looks like I better find that shop to find out what the hell is going on! Yami thought so he asked around, and looked around for the shop.
