First things first, I would like to thank a lot of people. One Aya-chan from Kaiba Corp. For giving me the Japanese names of the gang, including Duke/Otogi. Yami-kun for supporting me though many ordeals, and getting some of my idea's from her stories Demon's Tears (Damn FF.net) and A Moment it Time (I think….) Or something like that. And CD98 for also giving me an idea or two. Also I'm starting to get sick of writing, because I had a write a short story of the pre-sequel of this story so, I'm just sick of it a bit. But on with the story
The next thing Yoshi knew, she was waking up in the hospital feeling very sore. "Where am I?" She asked it was then she felt a presence at the window at her bedside. She at up and looked around but not at the window. "Where is Ryuuji? No, Ryuu-chan (I got this nick name from The Breath of Fire, and the short of his first name.) It was then she looked at the window. She saw a woman about her age; she had long hair much like hers. "What is going on?" Yoshi asked she was so confused. Then the woman turned, to Yoshi's shock this woman was a replica of herself. Except for the bang that was whisked up into the others hair, and the smaller, and much darker green eyes. The woman was also about an inch taller than her.
"Are you alright, aibou?" The woman asked. Yoshi just looked she didn't know what to do. She just sat there in a daze. "Yoshi?" Yoshi said nothing she was too freaked out to answer. But soon she snapped. "LEAVE ME ALONE!!" With that she jumped out of the bed and out the window into the rain. The woman shocked put her head out the window "YOSHI! DON'T DO THIS!" But Yoshi ignored her. "Damn the girl, she going to get herself worse than she is." Soon the woman saw many people come in. It was manly Otogi, Yugi, Sugoroku, and the rest of them. When they didn't see Yoshi in the bed they were freaking out. "Where is Yoshi?!" Yugi shouted. For some reason they could not see the woman in the room. The woman could hear Yami telling Yugi. Yugi calm down, losing your senses won't help anyone. The woman grabbed a coat and it turned ghost like, just like her. She ran out the door to find Yoshi.
Yoshi ran in the rain, not knowing what was going on. But she didn't seem to care for she almost got hit a couple of times. Then she saw an old abandoned warehouse, she opened the door and ran in to get out of the rain. "What is happening to me?" She questioned. She was too scared and in shock to calm down, so she decided to sing to calm her nerves. The song was 'I turn to you' by Christina Aguilera.
"When I'm lost in the rain. In your eyes I know, I'll find the light to light my way. When I'm scared, losing ground. When my world is gong crazy. You can turn it all around and when I'm down you're there. Pushing me to the top. You're always there giving me all you've got.
For a shield from the storm. For a friend. For a love to keep me safe and warm. I turn to you. For the strength to be strong. For the will to carry on. For everything you do. For everything that's true. I turn to you. I turn to you.
When I lose the will to win. I just reach for you. And I can reach the sky again. I can do anything. 'Coz your love is so amazing. 'Coz your love inspires me. And when I need a friend. You're always there on my side. Giving me faith, taking me through the night.
For a shield from the storm. For a friend. For a love to keep me safe and warm. I turn to you. For the strength to be strong. For the will to carry on. For everything you do. For everything that's true. I turn to you.
For the arms to be my shelter. Through all the rain. For truth that will never change. For someone to lean on. For a heart I can rely on through anything. For that one who I can run to."
When Yoshi was done she felt some fabric being put up around her shoulders. She looked up to see, that woman who was in her room. "You're going to freeze if you don't have a coat." She told her. Yoshi was surprised that the woman found her. The woman came to her face, and smiled. "Yoshi don-" Before she could finish she was knocked backward. The woman was now shocked. "You learned how, to tap into my power. That is surprising, for one so young." Yoshi was scared out of her wits. The woman smiled at her. "Who are you?" Yoshi asked. "I'll be more than happy to answer you, aibou. I am Nefertari, Lady of Maat. And the former Princess of Ancient Egypt." Yoshi stood "Ancient?" and Nefertari nodded. "Here let me show you, my former life. The saddest parts and how I came to be with you."
Months after many sorcerer's revolted against Yami. They head one challenged Yami to a shadow game. "Yami please don't!" Nefertari begged her brother. Yami started to walk towards where the sorcerer was waiting for him. He turned to her and placed one hand on her shoulders.
"I have to, Nefertari. I have to protect this world from evil." Then he ran into the room. Nefertari opened the door to a crack and watched the shadow game.
Hours later, Nefertari watched in horror as her brother battled the sorcerer, soon a bright light made her close her eyes. The next thing she knew was she was walking into the room, and there was Yami's Millennium Puzzle on the floor in pieces. "YAMI!!" She cried. Somehow she knew that his spirit would rise again in a vessel of another.
Nefertari moped for weeks, never coming out of her room. She couldn't even sleep all she could do was toss and turn. "Why Yami?" She asked. She closed her eyes, and then she heard a voice call to her. You could see you brother again. It said. Nefertari sat up. "I really could?" She asked the voice. With out knowing, Bastet had walked in and sat down. Yes, Princess. The only way is to abandon your vessel, and become the spirit with in me. But there are some conditions, for you. The young Princess looked at her Millennium Feather, and thought. "What are these conditions?" She asked. When you find another vessel you and her spirit must conceal me for more than nine months. Nefertari bowed her head, "I agree to you terms." Soon as she said that her body went limp, and no soul with in. Bastet only looked on; soon she left to tell the headmistress about Nefertari becoming a spirit for the Millennium Feather.
When Yoshi saw that her first instinct was to cry, but she hushed it up. "I have been, living and growing inside you, Yoshi with out you knowing." Yoshi looked up at Nefertari. "So you were the one, who took over my body after that guy…" Nefertari nodded. "I had to, he would have seriously have hurt you, your brother and mine." Yoshi turned her whole body. "Your brother?" Nefertari nodded "You remember that spirit talking with your brother. Well Yami, your brother's spirit is my half-brother." She touched Nefertari's arm. "I understand, and I will help you protect the Millennium Feather which I now hold." Nefertari looked at Yoshi and smiled. "Thank you, but we mustn't tell anybody." Yoshi nodded. And Nefertari disappeared into Yoshi body.
Yoshi still needed to relax more, and so she sang more. This time it was 'Reflection' also by Christina Aguilera.
"Look at me. You may think you see who I really am. But you'll never know me. Ev'ry day it's as if I play a part. Now I see. If I wear a mask. I can fool the world. But I cannot fool my heart.
Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me? When will my reflection show who I am inside?"
Soon Otogi walked in and heard her and stood to listen.
"I am now in a world where I have to hide my heart. And what I believe in. But somehow I will show the world what's inside my heart. And be loved for who I am.
Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know? Must I pretend that I'm someone else for all time? When will my reflection show who I am inside?
There's a heart that must be free to fly. That burns with a need to know the reason why. Why must I conceal, what we think, how we feel? Must there be a secret in me I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm someone else for all time. When will my reflection show, who I am inside? When will my reflection show, who I am inside?"
Otogi got closer and wrapped his arms around her neck. "Ryuu-chan!" She gasped when he did that. "Yo-ko you gave us quite a scare." Yoshi gave him an apologetic smile. "Otogi did you find, Yoshi?" Yugi shouted. Otogi shouted back "Yes, she's here!" Yugi gave a sigh of relief as he walked in. "Yugi I want to go home." Yugi was taken aback. "But you sh-" Yoshi cut him off. "Yugi I want to go home! I'm fine!" Yugi wasn't sure about that. Yoshi heard Yami talk to Yugi. Yugi maybe she's right, if not well she can be taken back to the hospital. Yugi sighed "Alright Yoshi, I'll take you home." When she heard that she practically jumping for joy.
-Hour later-
Yoshi, Yugi, and Sugoroku walked in the front. She ran up to her room, and looked through her stuff. Sugoroku went to the front to tend to customers that came in. Yugi stayed down stairs and he started talking to Yami.
She took some boxes down from her closet, and opened the first one. This is pretty neat, some Ancient Egyptian things. Nefertari said to her aibou, Yoshi just nodded and pulled out a dress, and Nefertari freaked out. That's the dress I wore when I was your age! Yoshi looked up at the ghost like image of the spirit. "That's neat." And then opened the other box, it was men's clothes. That's Yami's clothes! Yoshi looked up and was shocked "Now that is weird." Hey do you have, any crowns? Nefertari asked. Yoshi nodded, and went back to the closet and brought down two wooden boxes. And opened them up to Nefertari. Both of them were golden and had the mystic eye on them. Both would fit on the king's or princess' forehead. One had a gem, on the tip of the crown and the gem blue. The other was plain, Nefertari pointed to the one that had the gem. That was my crown. And the other was my brothers. Yoshi looked at the crowns "Now this is neat." Soon they heard noises coming from downstairs.
They peeked out the door to see, Yami kissing Yugi and doing some obscene things with Yugi. And this was right at the back door, where anybody could waltz in and see Yugi alone, making out with something. Yoshi decided to stop them and, embarrass Yugi, a bit. She leaned over the rail and said "Hey, Yugi wha'cha doing?" Yugi and Yami stopped and they blushed a deep crimson. "Nothing, Yoshi." Yoshi only nodded and smiled "Okay, Yugi." And she walked back into her room and heard Yami say. Boy that was close. Yoshi closed the door to her room and Nefertari said Oh my god! I never knew that my half-brother was a homosexual or bisexual but I won't go into that… Yoshi only laughed, and then Nefertari joined in the laughing and both felt a friendship begin to form.
