Yugi: Dreams of A Memory

And now, I present the last fic in my trilogy. It's been a long time since I posted the first chapter of Aibou: Assemble Exodia, and now I'm happy that I managed to get into the last fic. If you don't read both Aibou: Assemble Exodia, and Hikari: Duel Darkness, you might be a bit confused, mainly around the character Yamiki, and how Yugi has come to have the rogue eighth Millennium Item. Well, I now present Yugi: Dreams of a Memory!

"How are they, Tea?" said Joey waking up, to see Tea sitting on a chair, where she had been for the last week. "Still asleep." she replied. "Want breakfast?" asked Joey, trying to get his friend to cheer up. "Tristan and Ryou went out to get some. There's no food left in the house; Yugi's grandpa is still in Egypt." she said.

Joey stood up, and looked at the two identical beds they were sitting by. These beds had been exactly identical for the last week; neither had moved. In one bed lay Yugi, who had caught some kind of mystery illness a week ago. The illness had made him fall asleep, and he wouldn't wake up. In the bed next to him was his bigger Aibou, Yami, who had managed to catch the same illness through his connection to Yugi. They had both been to Domino Hospital, and nothing seemed wrong with them, they were just sleeping, so they had been taken home, where Tea, Tristan, Joey, and Ryou had been with them ever since. Yugi's grandpa was away in Egypt, but Tea had promised to let him know as soon as either woke up.

Joey put his hand on Tea's shoulder. "They'll wake up. We know what those two are like!" he said. "Joey," said Tea. "I wonder what they're dreaming about." She looked at the two Millennium Items lying on a table between the two.

Yugi sat up. He looked around to see Yami doing the same a little way off. He got up, and helped Yami to his feet. "Where are we?" said Yugi, looking around at the vast expanse of sand they seemed be in the middle of. Yami was looking around, puzzled, then happy. "Yugi, this is Egypt!" he sid. Yugi's eyes wandered around. "No pyramids?" he said, confused. "First things first, Yugi, there aren't pyramids all over Egypt. Second thing... this is ANCIENT Egypt. That's where I lived." Yami said, pointing at a large building in the distance. Yugi looked at Yami, and suddenly realised that he didn't have to look UP to see his face. He was looking at him on the same level. Yugi's hand went to his chest, where the Millennium Puzzle hung on it's chain, joined by the Pendulum that had been left to him. "Yami... I've got both." he said quietly. "I've just got my Puzzle. Well, at least we aren't without them. Come on, I'm going to see the Palace. We might be able to find out more there." Joining hands with Yugi, Yami pulled him off towards the buildings they had seen.

They stopped on the edge of the town. "Yami, aren't you hot?" said Yugi, looking at his Aibou's blue jacket. He himself wasn't wearing his smaller version; for one thing it wouldn't fit him at the moment. He was just wearing a black sleeveless top, and black trousers. Yami thought for a moment, and suddenly decided that he was, and took it off. Underneath it, he was wearing exactly the same as Yugi.

Yami looked back towards the building, and they walked into the town, some people giving them funny looks. Neither was surprised; they weren't exactly wearing Ancient Egyptian clothes, and one person even fell to his knees when he saw Yami. "I was Pharaoh." Yami reminded Yugi quietly. "How could I forget?" replied Yugi. Finally, they reached the river in the centre of the town. "The Nile?" asked Yugi. "Yes. We're going to have to find a boat to take us across."

At that moment, a very large, grand boat came sweeping up the River. Yami blinked at it. A person at the front of the boat blinked back, then shouted to someone else. It was all Egyptian, and Yugi couldn't understand it. "He said, come look at this." Yami said. Another person ran to the front of the boat, and looked at them. Eventually, half of the people on the boat had gone to look at them, saying things, that Yami was rapidly translating. "Isn't that the Pharaoh? But he's inside! Who's the other guy? He looks like the Pharaoh too!" Yami was speaking very quickly, and Yugi was only just keeping up, even in his own language.

Finally, someone came out of the covered section of the boat, to see why they were slowing down. They were wearing a gold headband, and Yugi instantly realised who it was. It was the shorter version of himself. "That's me... Yugi!" Yugi shouted. Yami looked at him. The other Yugi jumped, and looked at the stranger who had shouted at him. "Ahhhh!" The other Yugi screamed and ran back inside. After a few seconds, his head popped out from behind the curtains again, this time joined by two more, each on top of the other. Yugi looked at the one above the little-him. "That's Yamiki!" he said to Yami. But Yami was looking at the one above that. "And that's me!"
