A few months had past since Yoshi had been home. Yugi had noticed that Yami acted strangely around her, and he didn't know why. "I think I'll take a nap…" Yugi mumbled as he drifted off. Soon Yugi was tossing and turning, having his dream again.

Yugi still couldn't see faces but he could see the bodies and eyes. He also could hear there voices. "Yami please don't!" She begged him. Yami turned and placed on hand on her shoulder that is when his face illuminated. "I have to Nefertari. I have to protect this world from evil." Then he ran into the room, and the woman seemed to be crying, her face still in shadows.

Yugi shot up sweat beading down his face, he was breathing heavily has well. Soon Yami was at his side, and planted a kiss on Yugi's sweat covered cheek. What is the matter Yugi? Yami asked. Yugi looked at Yami, and calmed a bit. "My dream again, I think it is your past Yami…" Yugi whispered. But what they didn't know was that Yoshi was near Yugi's door, listening. Really Yugi? What did you find out?" Yugi swallowed, and nodded. "I found out that woman's name in my dream…" Yami almost fell of the bed when he heard that. Well, what is it? He questioned. Yugi trembled a little "Ne… Nefertari…" He stuttered. Yami this time did fall off the bed, but he got over it and went to the window. Yugi got off the bed and wrapped his arms around Yami's waist. "Who is she, Yami?" Yugi asked, and looked softly in Yami's eyes. Yami looked at his double and ruffled Yugi's hair. Nefertari… I don't remember much… but I know I cared for her… because she was my half-sister… Tears started trickling down Yami's face. Yugi stared up at Yami. "Half-sister? I didn't know you had a sister." Yami nodded, and kneeled to level with Yugi. I did, but from what I remember I didn't know until months before the sorcerer's revolted against me. There is still so much I don't remember… Yami looked away from Yugi, but Yugi placed a hand on Yami's face. He smiled "Don't worry Yami, we'll find this out together." Yami smiled as he embraced his double.

Yoshi felt she should leave them alone and made her way to her room. It seems that Yami is remembering me. Nefertari said. "Hai I know. It's only been at least three months. I wonder if will be…" She started. No It's shouldn't be a problem, Yami doesn't know about this. But if he did he might be really pissed off with me… Nefertari sighed. Yoshi grabbed her coat, put it on and went out for a walk.

"Nefertari?" Yoshi asked. Hai aibou? Yoshi almost didn't ask. "Did you have, by chance your most of your right ear?" Nefertari was taken aback by the question. Hai, I did. Why do you ask? Yoshi nodded "So did I, when I was two. It got bit off by a dog." Nefertari was shocked. Interesting… Do you have the eye of Horus on your left wrist, palm side up? Yoshi nodded. We have more in common then thought… Then she chuckled. Then Yoshi saw, Bakura with another boy. He had blonde hair that went to his shoulder and parted in the middle and dark tanned skin, and lavender eyes. He was about the same height as Bakura. He had black markings around his eyes. He wore a tank top, with a hood, and a chain in the middle of it. He had black pants and black shoes. It was then she saw the spirits. One looked just like Bakura, but his hair was more flared up. The other just like the other guy and also his hair was more flared up. Now this is weird… Yoshi and Nefertari thought as they sighed. I guess I'll call this him Ryou, and his spirit Bakura… She thought. "Konnichi wa, Ryou-san!" Ryou looked over at her and smiled. "Konnichi wa, Yoshi." The young man looked at her with a mysterious calm look. "Who's this Ryou-san?" She asked meaning the blonde boy with him. The boy answered for himself. "I'm Ishtar Malik. An Egyptian, I heard your first name but didn't catch you last." Yoshi smiled. "That's because I didn't throw it. It's Motou Yoshi" Malik didn't say anything and only held out his hand which Yoshi shook. Okay then its Malik and Ishtar… Man this is getting weird… "Well it's nice to meet you, Malik-san. I gotta go, bye!" Yoshi walked away from them just as Malik was kissing Ryou. "Okay, this is getting stranger by the minute…" She mumbled to herself. It was then she saw something that interested her, and her faced lighted up.

"I wonder where, Yoshi is?" Yugi wondered. When Yugi had his back turned that is when Yoshi, came in and went to her room. She sat down, and examined the thing she bought. You have a lot of unknown talents, Yoshi. Nefertari pointed out. "Yes I know…" Oddly enough it was a guitar. She strummed it quietly, until she knew the cords a bit.

Yugi was still down stairs, and he was eating a sandwich when he heard a knock on the door. "Konnichi wa, Yugi." It was Otogi. Yugi let him in. "Same here. Otogi." Upstairs Yoshi meddled with the guitar, and then started a very melancholic tune. Yoshi didn't shed tears as she played, only closed her eyes. Otogi and Yugi heard the music and quietly walked up the stairs to Yoshi's room. The door was already opened a crack so the peaked in. They saw her strumming the instrument, and doing very well. Soon she was done and Yugi and Otogi had to clap. Her head shot up at the noise, she blushed a bit. "Yo-ko, that was beautiful but it was so…so…" and Yugi finished the sentence. "Melancholic…" Yoshi nodded and set the guitar on her bed. "Sometimes I feel that way, so I play it out." She smiled. Otogi and Yugi smiled. Yugi went back down to finish his lunch. Otogi wrapped his arms around, Yoshi's waist and placed a kiss on the side of her face. "Ryuu-chan…" Yoshi whispered. She felt very comfortable in Otogi's hold. She wondered what Nefertari's childhood was like. As she thought, Otogi tightened his embrace but still gentle. Yoshi closed her eyes, and fell asleep in Otogi's embrace.

Yoshi saw a little girl run up to a boy about a year older than her. She looked like Yoshi when she was a kid. The girl bowed, "Hi Prince Yami!" Then jumped on him in an embrace. "Hi to you too, Nefertari." He laughed. Yoshi saw a woman scowled at the pair. And a man smiled Yoshi assumed that it was the Pharaoh, Yami's and Nefertari's father. And the woman, the queen Yami's mother. Yoshi smiled as she saw Yami and Nefertari play. They look so cute Yoshi thought. Soon another woman called for Nefertari. "Sorry Yami, I have to go." She bowed to him and left for the woman her mother. Yami also was called by his mother. He turned and walked over to her. "Yes, mother?" The queen sneered at Nefertari and her mother. "I don't you around, that girl anymore. She a little bitch, a whore." The queen ranted, which was a lie. During the queen's rants, Yoshi saw a sleek black cat who was listening to what the queen said. "She is using you my son I'm only looking out for your well being." Yami pouted, but he believed his mother about Nefertari. "Alright mother…" He whispered. Yoshi was outraged How dare that… that bitch call Nefertari a bitch and a whore. She is none of those things! But Yoshi understood what the queen wanted. She wanted to separate Yami and Nefertari.

Soon Yami was cold to Nefertari, and him being like that made her grow distant. Yoshi saw that Nefertari grew up alone for most of her life. Her and Yami didn't talk anymore, and grew distant from each other. Only when Nefertari became a Lady of Maat did she cheer up a bit. I guess she doesn't feel so alone… Yoshi thought. I feel sorry for her. She saw the rest before, what Nefertari showed her. Yoshi felt sad for her spirit. "Such sad memories, so bleak, and… and" Yoshi lost with words she knew how Nefertari felt, and understood.

Yoshi woke up and saw Otogi sleeping on the floor next to her. She laughed, and couldn't contain it. She was laughing because of the look on Otogi's face, and the fact that drool was running down from his mouth. Her laughing woke him and he stared at her. "What is so funny?" He asked in a daze. This only made her laugh harder. Soon Otogi woke up, and glared at her and in a stern tone asked. "Yo-ko, what is so funny?" She toned down her laughter and said still giggling. "You were making, a funny look on your face. Also that drool was coming out of your mouth." And she started laughing again when he wiped his face off. "That is not funny." He mumbled. Yoshi looked outside and said calmly "Maybe you should go home, its getting late." Otogi nodded. Stood, and leaned over and kissed her lips. "Bye, Yo-ko" She waved at him blushing. When he closed the door. Yoshi had tears coming down her face. Aibou? Nefertari asked. Yoshi looked at her "I feel sorry for you." Nefertari didn't really know what Yoshi meant. What do you mean? Yoshi looked away. "That Yami's mother turned him against you. Her telling him that you were a bitch and a whore." Nefertari was taken aback. I knew she called me things but that! She really didn't like me. "Nefertari, who told you about what the queen said?" Nefertari smiled, at the memory. My faithful feline companion, Bastet. Have no worries my, aibou I am over my past. Yoshi only nodded and they shared a friendly embrace.
