Yami's Past
Our story was left off when Yugi had just fallen into a deep sleep thanks to one of his cards. His temperature dropped as well, from 120 to 88(he acquired the fever when duelling Pegasus).Our story will now begin in Yugi's room, at around 11:30pm.
Yami was asleep on the floor (as you may recall, Yami was unable to merge with Yugi in the real world) while the pain started to come back to Yugi, waking him up, little by little. After a little while Yugi woke up and groaned. He was enjoying a very good dream. He dreamt that he never went to Domino High School, but still meet all of his friends and had a great time, without him being teased all the time. He always wished that would have happened. Unfortunately, it didn't. He groaned again as he felt a jabbing pain in his head. He hated being sick. But he was thankful that his card brought his temp. down, he would've been sweating, and in even more pain if his temp. was that high. He sighed, and rolled over. He looked at his puzzle, which Yami taken off of him so he wouldn't roll over onto it, on the table. He then looked down at Yami, asleep on the floor. He would have let Yami have his bed, but of course he was sick, and too tired to even get up. He sighed again. He rolled over again, sending a new jabbing pain into his head. He groaned. A little louder than intended, because Yami woke up. He rolled over and looked up at Yugi. "What's the matter, Aibou?" "Nothing. I didn't mean to wake you up, sorry Yami." "That's okay. I was having a terrible dream anyway." Yugi smiled at this, but didn't roll over to look at Yami, for he knew if he did a new jabbing pain would go through his head.
The next day
Yugi hadn't slept all to well that night. He kept having stabbing pains in his head, and he kept sweating (Yami had put on extra blankets after Yugi fell asleep, because Yugi kept shivering), he tried kicking off the blankets, but he was too tired to kick hard enough. He would have told Yami he was too hot, but he couldn't gather up enough strength to speak. He hated being sick. The morning sun began to shine through the window, and glared in Yugi's eyes. He would have groaned or something, but he was too tired and weak to do much of anything, but lie there, in pain and sorrow. Yami finally woke up and saw that Yugi was sweating, so he quickly took off the top 3, leaving only the puff, and sheets. He then shut the blind. Yugi would have given him a grateful smile but he was much too tired. Yami looked down at poor Yugi. Yugi had his eyes shut tight, and beads of sweat were still on his face. He hated being sick to. Although he had only had the flu once, but that was enough, considering back then people could die from the flu. Yami sighed and sat down, and looked through Yugi's cards. *Yami had fallen asleep looking through Yugi's cards.. Yami found himself sitting in his throne, wearing his formal pharaoh outfit (which I might add, he hadn't worn in a millennia). He glanced around, surprised of finding himself there. He got up from his throne, and went to his chambers. Once there, he had to shoo the royal cat out. He sat down on the bed, realizing just how hard, and uncomfortable it really was. He looked around for his millennium puzzle, which he never took off (anymore that is). He found it on his washing table, but it had no rope on it. He quickly grabbed some rope that held his curtains back (on his window), and tied it to the millennium puzzles ring (on the top) and slung it around his neck. He had a feeling that he was being watched. He suddenly found himself in the shadow realm. A shiver ran down his spine. He turned around to see a man standing there. "Who are you?" asked Yami when he saw the man. "My name is of no concern to you." Said the man to Yami, rather snobbily. Yami looked surprised at this, considering he was (at a time) the pharaoh of Egypt. "Fine then, if you won't tell me your name, then why'd you bring me here?" said Yami. "I didn't. Your puzzle did, but that's beside the point. I heard that you duel a mean game. I challenge you!" said the man. Yami blinked, he really didn't want to duel. Not here anyways. "Well?!" said the man in a rather impatient sort of voice. "I except." Said Yami, rather regretting it. The stakes in the shadow realm were usually rather high. "How's about we bet on....servants, 2 of our best servants?!" said the man. "Uh.Erm.Uhhhhhh.Nnn.Fine."Yami regretted saying this, but he couldn't help it. Something made him say it. Yami suddenly had a queasy feeling in his stomach. "Let us start then. You do have cards, don't you?" said the man. "Of course." Said Yami as he took Yugi's cards out of his pocket. He was surprised he had them. A huge field (on which they would play) appeared in front of them. Yami went to one side, as the man went to the other. They both quickly shuffled their cards and drew the necessary amount. Yami found he had an excellent hand. Unfortunately not as good as the man's. About half way through the duel, Yami realized that this man had only magic and dragon cards in his deck. Yami new he would probably lose. And he did. His 2 best servants suddenly found themselves in another kingdom. They didn't realize this of course. Yami was exhausted, and angry. He had lost his 2 best servants to a man he didn't even know. Yami sighed and returned to his chambers. He had lost. In all the times he had duelled, he had lost. He collapsed on his bed, shivering (which was fairly odd, seeing as he lived in Egypt). Suddenly it was the next morning, and he was not shivering anymore. He was surrounded by people, and sweating hard. His eyes shot open and he realized that he was sick.
When Yami woke up he was sweating. But not as much as poor Yugi. Yugi was sweating mostly because his temp. had risen again, only by a few degrees though. Yami went over to Yugi and took his temp., it was now at 91. Yami sighed and sat down. He now remembered what it was like to be sick. He nudged Yugi, ever so slightly. Yugi stirred, and slowly opened his eyes. "What?" said Yugi groggily. "Is your grandpa at the shop?" asked Yami. "I think so, why?" said Yugi, a confused look came over his face. "I'm going to make you something to eat. You have to eat something." Said Yami getting up. "Erk." Yugi said making a funny face (which obviously meant something along the lines of "Oh no.") But Yami was already out of the room by then. Yugi slowly lifted himself up. He slipped on his slippers, grabbed a blanket, wrapped it around him then slowly, and sleepily made his way to the kitchen. Yami was looking for something he didn't need to cook (as he didn't know how to use the oven) and only found some oranges, a banana, and some granola bars. When Yugi walked into the kitchen, Yami scolded him for getting out of bed, but aloud him to stay. Yami gave Yugi what he had found, and told him to eat it, or he would take his cards away for a month. At this Yugi grabbed a granola bar and ate. Yami left the kitchen, and went into Yugi's room. When he got there, he grabbed Yugi's puzzle and took it back to the kitchen with him. He placed it in front of Yugi (who was eating the banana) and sat down. Yugi quickly finished the banana, and snatched his puzzle. He then slung it around his neck. Yami looked around, and noticed that once Yugi had put on the puzzle, the shadows seemed to become darker, and larger. Yugi didn't notice this because he was eating his second granola bar (leaving the oranges untouched). Once Yugi had finished that granola bar he got up, and went to his room. Yami gathered up the last of the granola bars (just incase) and followed Yugi. Yugi had snatched up his cards, so that Yami couldn't take them away, and stuffed them in his pocket. When Yami entered the room, he dumped the granola bars onto the table. Yugi shuffled over to his bed, and collapsed onto it, making sure he didn't land on his puzzle. Yami looked around, the shadows seemed to be growing, although this seemed stupid, Yami felt a little scared. Yugi on the other hand, had curled up on his bed and shut his eyes. He felt better after eating something, and wanted to get some sleep. Unfortunately, at that very moment they were in the shadow realm. Yugi sat up in surprise, causing him to have a jabbing pain run through his head. He ignored it and looked over at Yami, who looked as though he was going to be sick. Yugi watched as Yami suddenly was dressed in pharaoh clothing. Yami slowly turned around, Yugi followed his gaze, and found that a man was standing there. "So nice to see you again Yami." Said the man. Yugi suddenly had a bad feeling about this guy. The man turned to Yugi, and he flinched. The man started laughing. Yugi sat amazed, after all, who would laugh at a sick person? The man suddenly noticed the puzzle hanging around Yugi's neck. The man advanced on Yugi, who inched away from the him. The man started laughing again, and snatched at the puzzle around Yugi's neck. Yugi jumped back, and fell to his knees. His head felt horrible. Yugi slowly got up. The man advanced on him again. This time Yugi jumped out of the way, causing the man to stumble and fall. Yugi quickly took advantage of this, and ran over to Yami who hadn't moved a bit. His eyes were wide and he was obviously deep in thought. Yugi quickly shook him out of it. The man was getting up. Yami looked over at Yugi. Yugi looked at Yami with a pleading look. Yami didn't respond. Yami couldn't move. He was frozen, no thanks to the man who was running at Yugi.Yugi panicked and ran straight into Yami by accident, causing him to fall over. Yugi rolled over and looked up at the man who was bending over to grab his puzzle. Yugi rolled out of the way, and got up quickly. Yugi suddenly fell to his knees again, because a huge pain went through his head. The man started laughing again. Yugi jumped up, ignoring the pain in his head, and ran right at Yami. Yugi concentrated hard, and ran right into Yami, before the man could stop him. Yugi and Yami fell to the ground, but, they didn't fall separately. Just as they hit the ground Yugi went straight in to Yami, and Yami into Yugi.They had merged. Yugi stood up and looked at the man, who was astonished. Yugi grabbed his puzzle, and concentrated. Suddenly Yugi wasn't Yugi anymore. He had become YamiYugi, and he was wearing Yami's pharaoh clothing. The man stared blankly, as Yami Yugi disappeared into the real world. Once there, Yami Yugi became Yugi again, and he flopped onto his bed. *Yami, who was that? * I really couldn't tell you. Even when I met him millennia ago, I never found out his name. *So you did know him, in a way* I suppose you could say that. *So, why did he take us to the shadow realm?* He didn't. *What do you mean?* I don't know why, but your puzzle brought you there. I know it sounds crazy, but the same thing happened to me over a millennia ago. I'm sorry I couldn't help you. I don't know what it is about that guy. *That's okay. I just almost got killed. That's all!!* I'm sorry! Look, all I know, is that when you put on the puzzle, I noticed that the shadows seemed to get larger, until you let your guard down. *And this means?.* THAT IF YOU LET YOUR GUARD DOWN, YOUR TOAST!! *Okay, Okay, you don't have to be so snarky about it.* Arrrrg After about a week Yugi's fever was gone and he could go back to school, this gave Yami time to ponder about the man. Yugi had gotten to school just in time for final exam studies. Yugi also got tones of homework for being sick so long. This gave Yami more time to himself, considering, who wants someone talking to you when you're concentrating on something important?! Yami didn't like being ignored, of course. But what are you suppose to do if the person you try to talk to just says "Yep" to you, no matter what you say!? Lately, Yugi had been having nightmares though, about the mysterious man. Yugi didn't know if Yami was giving him the dreams, or the puzzle. Every night since he could go back to school, Yugi had been examining the puzzle, after his homework and chores of course. He found, ABSOLUTLY NOTHING!! Which he thought was stupid, after all, why did it keep taking the possessor of the puzzle to the shadow realm, and that man? That night when Yugi went to bed, he had the worst nightmare yet.Yugi found himself looking at Yami, a younger Yami, well, younger then a millennia anyway. He was talking to someone and holding up the puzzle. As Yami spoke, he pointed at the puzzle. Of course, Yugi didn't understand a word, as he was talking in Egyptian (Arabic to those of you who know what the egyptian language is actually called). Yami sighed and walked past Yugi, as though he wasn't even there. Yugi followed Yami to a large room ("Probably his old bedroom" thought Yugi) Yami clambered over to a bed and sat down, gingerly placing his puzzle beside him. Yami looked at it for a moment, then slowly got up. He walked over to a drawer and pulled out a bunch of parchment. They were his schedule, the problems of the people, and the guard's report, which were put in his room every day for him to read, and if anything was bad, fix it. Yami sighed and placed down the parchment. Yugi looked at the puzzle, but nothing happened.yet. Yugi hated waiting, especially if it was for something important. Yami went back over to his bed again, but this time he snatched up the puzzle, and practically ran out of the room. Yugi had to run really fast to keep up with Yami. They ran down a long stair well then down a corridor, then down some more stairs, until they got to a huge room full of smoke (caused by a gigantic caldron in the middle of it). Yami went through the smoke, right into another room full of books. In the farthest corner where, as far as Yugi could tell, the biggest books were held. Yami went over to a man, and sat down, slamming the puzzle down in front of the man. The man looked up and said "YAMI!?" Yami looked angry at the mention of his name, but let it slide. Yami then started talking very fast in Arabic, but the man held up a hand in front of Yami's face. Yami looked outraged, but let it slide as well. The man started talking in Japanese (for those of you who understand the translating thing people do on t.v, they would be talking in Japanese, but it would be translated for us, so just bare with the fact I put Japanese instead of English), which Yugi could understand. "Yami, Yami, Yami. How many times have I told you, you should talk to me in Japanese (again, bare with it!) not Arabic! Now, please tell me what you want." Yami hated to be corrected, obviously, as he was a Pharaoh! But sighed and nodded. He started explaining about the man, and the puzzle, and how he thought his father was REALLY killed. All the man really did during this was nod. Yugi was astounded by all this. But was soon following Yami back upstairs, to Yami's room. Yugi had heard what the man had told Yami. "Never let the puzzle take you anywhere, unless you allow it to. Never leave it unattended, and never let your guard down. What would Egypt do if our Pharaoh died!? Keep this in mind, and you should be fine." Yugi doubted anything that man said was true, but he kept that all in mind anyway. Yami tossed the puzzle onto a washstand, and sat down on a fancy couch to read the guards report. As he did so, Yugi noticed that the puzzle began to give off a faint glow. Suddenly they were in the shadow realm!.. Yugi sat up in bed, he sighed in relief that the dream wasn't real. or was it? He had to ask Yami. *YAMI!!YAMI!! ARE YOU AWAKE?* Now I am..what is it aibou? *It was.I had.a nightmare* So? *It was about you* Really? *Yes, it was terrible!* Stop watching horror movies before you go to bed then(Yawn) Now get some sleep Yugi, you have school tomorrow. *But.* Tell me in the morning please Yugi, I'm tired. *But.* Please Yugi! *Okay, Okay.* Thank you. Yugi couldn't get over the fact that Yami wasn't interested in one of his dreams. Yami loved hearing about them, and interpreting them for Yugi. Something was up, and Yugi was going to find out what it was.

"Never let the puzzle take you anywhere, unless you allow it to. Never leave it unattended, and never let your guard down. What would Egypt do if our Pharaoh died!? Keep this in mind, and you should be fine." Yugi doubted anything that man said was true, but he kept that all in mind anyway. Yami tossed the puzzle onto a washstand, and sat down on a fancy couch to read the guards report. As he did so, Yugi noticed that the puzzle began to give off a faint glow. Suddenly they were in the shadow realm!.. Yugi sat up in bed, he sighed in relief that the dream wasn't real. or was it? He had to ask Yami. *YAMI!!YAMI!! ARE YOU AWAKE?* Now I am..what is it aibou? *It was.I had.a nightmare* So? *It was about you* Really? *Yes, it was terrible!* Stop watching horror movies before you go to bed then(Yawn) Now get some sleep Yugi, you have school tomorrow. *But.* Tell me in the morning please Yugi, I'm tired. *But.* Please Yugi! *Okay, Okay.* Thank you. Yugi couldn't get over the fact that Yami wasn't interested in one of his dreams. Yami loved hearing about them, and interpreting them for Yugi. Something was up, and Yugi was going to find out what it was.
