Chapter 2: Past

Time went by and I finally woke up. Once again I was in Yu-Gi's arms. Instead of seeing everyone hovering above me they were all asleep.

"Good, they're all asleep. They don't need to worrying about me." I thought to myself.

I looked at my watch, and it was 8pm. I looked up at Yu-Gi. He looked so peace full sleeping there. I saw a piece of his hair out of place and put it back where it belonged. As I brought my hand down I gently ran my nail along the side of his face. He twitched a little.

"Yu-Gi, why do you stand by me and comfort me? You have been my friend for the past 3 yrs and I still remember our first meeting.

FLASHBACK

I was the new girl at our school. As I was walking down the hall I accidentally ran into you. 'Sorry' I said quickly and ran off.

I looked over my shoulder for a brief second and saw you staring at me. I just kept walking till I found my classroom never looking back again. I went and sat in the desk that was in the furthest corner in the back of the classroom. Five minutes later you stroll in with you bag draped over your shoulder and your left hand in your pocket. I saw you glance to the side and you saw me. Joey, Tea, Casey, and Tristen come in after you yakking away. You walk over to the desk next to me and sat down. Everyone else follows you and sits down. Joey and Tristen sit down in front of you while Tea and Casey sit in front of me. I try my best to look invisible, but it failed.

'Hey, you're the girl who ran into me in the hall aren't you?' You asked

'Yes and I'm sorry.' I said franticly reaching down for my bag so I could move.

You grabbed my wrist and said, 'You can move if you like, but I'm going to sit where ever you sit. I don't let cute girls just get up and walk away ya know.'

I looked at you like 'are you some kind of stalker?' and sat back down.

'You're new here aren't you? I'm Yu-Gi Motto; these are my friends Tea and Casey Adams, Joey Carlson, and Tristen Har.'

They looked at me and smiled. I was a little hesitant when answering.

'I'm Ashleigh Berry and yes I'm new here.' I finally answered.

'Pleasure.' Casey answered.

'Where did you come from?' Joey asked.

'I came from Greeley, Colorado.' I answered.

'How do you like it here so far?' Tea asked.

'It's ok, I guess. I can adapt to the uniform.' I told her shyly.

The uniform the girls had to wear was a long sleeved shirt with a draping fabric in the back that came around to the front then was connected that was green and a short green skirt. The guys had to wear a loose fitting white shirt with blue pants and a blue long sleeved jacket that hooked at the collar. All the guys left it unhooked.

'You didn't have uniforms at your old school?' Tea asked.

'No, we were able to wear what we wanted as long as it is school appropriate.' I explained.

'Don't worry you'll get used to them.' You smiled at me.

I just looked at you and smiled.

END FLASHBACK

I will never forget that day. I never realized it before, but I-I love you Yu-Gi Motto." I thought.

Then all of a sudden an item appeared out of nowhere around Yu-Gi's neck. It was like an upside-down pyramid with a strange looking eye on it. It looked Egyptian. Then everyone disappeared except Yu-Gi and I. I looked around and when I looked back at Yu-Gi he was different. Now he had blond streaks going through the black part of his hair. I gasped, sat up, and scooted away.

"Don't be scared Serenity." He said. "I'm Yami. I inhabit the Millennium Puzzle and I'm the spirit of Yu-Gi's past life. Yu-Gi here is my reincarnation as are you of my love Serenity. In my lifetime I am the prince of Earth and Egypt.

FLASHBACK

5,000 yrs ago, during the time of the Moon kingdom, the people of The Moon and Earth didn't get along. During this time the people of the Moon had grand balls in Serenity's honor. Princes from around the universe came to seek her hand. One day she decided to transport herself to Earth. She thought it was so beautiful from space that she wanted to see it on land. She ended up in my courtyard behind me.

During this time in Egypt the Pharaohs and princes had a game called the Shadow games. These games were played with magical creatures called 'Duel monsters'. The game got out of hand and was sealed by my powers. These games were sealed into 7 Millennium items. The Millennium puzzle was given to me to be it's protector in this life and future lives. When Serenity appeared there was a flash of light. I turned around and saw her; it was love at first sight. Every night she came to see me. One night one of here protectors followed her. When Sailor Jupiter saw what she was doing she went and told the Queen.

The following night Queen Selen followed her. She had watched us all night. At first she was furious, but as she watched us she changed her feelings. Not once had she seen her daughter so happy. Selen finally reviled herself at the end of the night. She thanked me for making Serenity so happy. From then on I was allowed on the moon and at the balls. At one special ball, the one to celebrate her birthday, Earth attacked the moon kingdom.

Some how the people of earth were corrupted by evil. My father sent shadow warriors to kill everyone on the moon, but little did he know that I was up there. I fought on the Moon's side to protect Serenity. In this effort to protect her all the scouts and I were killed. Heart broken, Serenity committed suicide by sending the sailor sword through her chest.

So over come with grief, Selen used her remaining strength to send our spirits down to Earth to be reborn in the future. Half my spirit was sealed in the Millennium Puzzle; the other half was sealed inside Yu-Gi. My spirit was combined when Yu-Gi solve the Millennium puzzle. 3 yrs ago a man named Maxamillion Pegasus released the shadow games in order to obtain the 7 Millennium items to bring back his love, Cecilia. This caught the attention of an evil spirt that inhabited the Millennium Ring, one of the items that a boy named Bakura possessed. Yu-Gi was able to defeat this spirit, but Bakura was very weak from the battle and died.

Ever since then the Millennium Puzzle disappeared. Yu-Gi was told that the only way his puzzle would reappear is when he find the reincarnation of his love from his former life and they both confessed their love for each other either a loud or silently. Then and only then will his destiny be reviled to him to him in his sleep."

END FLASHBACK

I was in tears from this story. It hurt to know that in my former life I killed myself because of my lose of love and friends. Yami came over and held me.

"I must leave you now." Then Yu-Gi returned to himself and everyone appeared again.
