Here's the re-written chapter 3. Hope you like it. I changed the Pharaoh's
name, you see, I cracked open the case of 'Forbidden Memories', and saw
that he was a Prince of the Amenhotep Dynasty, thus the change.

"'Hi, me'?" the Pharaoh repeated mockingly. "What is your reason for doing this? Do you have some sort of inane desire to play Shadow Game with me? I never lose."
Yami let out a short laugh.
"WHAT is so amusing!?" the Pharaoh demanded.
Yami smirked and announced, "I merely was reminded how I always sent people to the Shadow Realm for frivolous reasons. I, too, have never lost a Shadow Game. And so you know why?"
"Why?" The Pharaoh drily replied.
"Because I am you." 'But better...' Yami thought.
"What? I should just kill you right now, I'm already tired of you!"
The Pharaoh raised his spear-thingy to kill Yami, but stopped when an exhausted voice gasped, "N-n-n-o. Don't- do- that." he got his breath back. "If you are Yami, or at least Yami a long time ago, why would you want to be killed by your own hand?"
The pharaoh narrowed his eyes when he saw Yugi, "Agh! Is there some sort of secret fan club of people who copy my hair?!"
Yugi smiled.
The pharaoh's agitated face changed a LITTLE at the sight.
Yami, who noticed, chuckled; even if you didn't know him, he knew it was hard to stay mad at Yugi.
"Now, uh...Mr.." Yugi began.
/Yami, what's your 'other' name, y' know *his* name? /
//We-ell-l, as you know, there are many things about the past that I don't remember very well... //
/That's expected, but I wanted to know what's your REAL name.../
//You see, Yugi... //
/Let me guess... You don't REMEMBER!/
//... //
Yugi sweat-dropped.
"Um.Pharaoh."Yugi began again.
"Kindly address me by my name. If that 'Yami' guy really knows me, then he should know 'our' name," said the Pharaoh.
Yami glared at his past-self.
"B-but, Yami said that he doesn't rememb-" he started
"And just how do you know that?"
"He told me."
The pharaoh smirked. "When?"
"We can communicate mentally..."
The Pharaoh smirked. "Let's play a little game right here and now. If YOU can tell me my name, I will help you in any way I can. BUT, if you can't, then I will decide the fate of BOTH of you. If you do have this abillity to communicate without speaking, then this other guy claiming to be me can tell you."
"But..." Yugi started.
"We ACCEPT!" shouted Yami
/YAMI!! /
//Er... Sorry, force of habit... //
/Now what are we going to do? / Fortunatly, their conversation was interrupted.
A person then ran to the Pharaoh. "Pharaoh Amenhotep,"
"Crap, you told them my name!"
The person raised an eyebrow, but continued, "We have Akinu in a way, but the situation's a little more complicated..."
"OH! I remember Akinu? The name sounds familiar... wasn't that Bakura?" It was then that Yami noticed once more, Bakura was not present. "Speaking of." Yami's voice drifted.
"Wait! What happened to Ryou?" exclaimed Yugi. He realized that he must have run ahead of him dispite their height differences.
The person looked at Yugi. "'Ryou'? I think that guy said that a guy named Ryou was dead..."
