Yugi: Dreams of a Memory
The boat glided up to the Palace. Quickly, Yugi, Yami, the Pharaoh and the others ran inside. Nobody was told anything, other than the Pharaoh had important guests. "Great Wizards, please do not harm my realm of Egypt, or it's people!" begged the Pharaoh. Yami looked annoyed that he could be so soft. "Get up!" he half-shouted, before turning bright red. The Pharaoh got up from the ground. "What is your business in Egypt?" he asked. Yugi and Yami looked at each other. /Any ideas?/ //None whatsoever.//
They were rescued by a guard running into the room. "I apologise, my Pharaoh, but there's been another tomb robbery." he said. "Is it..." said the Pharaoh, before being cut off by the guard. "Bakura, my lord." "Not again! This is the fifth tomb!" The Pharaoh walked to his large golden throne. "Bakura?" said Yami and Yugi in unison. "Yes, Bakura." said the Pharaoh, as if they had been inquiring as to the identity of the infamous tomb-raider. "He has robbed five tombs. And I have reason to believe..." he paused, waving his hand to say the guard could leave. The guard left very quickly, closing the door behind him. "I have reason to believe," continued the Pharaoh. "That he uses Shadow Magic, much like that which you use to get into the tombs." "Then why don't you Dark Duel him?" asked Yugi. Yami kicked him in the shin. "Oww."
"I would, but my duelling skills are not very good." said the Pharaoh sadly. Yugi's eyes opened wide; he could believe that Yami had ever been bad at duelling. Yami blushed. "Then we'll help!" he said quickly, before Yugi laughed. "I happen to be a master of the Shadow Games." Yugi poked him. "You wouldn't be, not without me!" They all laughed. "It is very good of you to help us." said Yamiki, politely. "Young Yuugi (AN: Egyptian-Yugi will be spelt the Japanese way with two 'U's) here will show you to our guest rooms." "Oh, thank you." said Yami. They followed the other Yugi out of the large hall. "Do you think we can trust them?" said Yamiki. "Yes. There's something familiar about the both of them."
Yami was shown his room. "See you later, Yugi. Soul rooms." he said in Japanese, so that the Egyptian-Yugi couldn't understand. "Ok." said Yugi, being led down the hall. "So, Yuugi," he said. Yuugi blushed at being directly addressed by the 'esteemed visitor'. "What exactly do you do for the Pharaoh?" "I am his personal attendant." Yuugi said. "Oh. Ok then. Thank you." Yugi said, going into the room that Yuugi showed him.
He looked around inside the room. It was quite dim, with no windows, and a few candles burning in the corners. He heard the door close behind him. The room was decorated with hieroglyphs, and he made a mental note to ask Yami to translate it all for him. He kicked off his boots, and lay down on the bed, closing his eyes. /Why do you suppose we're here?/ he asked mentally. //I don't know. I do remember you getting ill in Domino though, and falling asleep. I went to call Tea for help, and when I dialled her number, I barely managed to say 'Hi' before falling asleep too.// /So you suppose we're still asleep in Domino?/ //You're thinking this is a dream?// /Yes! We're stuck in this dream. And I'm assuming that Tea realised something is wrong, and is looking after us. You got the illness through our connection./ //That would explain it, I suppose.// /Well, there's one thing we have to do. Stop Bakura./ //He just manages to pop up everywhere.// /Well, think about poor Ryou!/ //Ryou? Wait a minute! What if we can find the Egyptian-Ryou too?// /Yeah, he may know something. I was going to go to sleep, but thinking about it, I don't want to anymore./ //I know how you feel.//
"Anything?" asked Tristan on the eighth night. "Nope." said Joey, who was sitting there again. The Kaiba brothers had left long ago. Tea ran up the stairs, holding a plate of sandwiches. "Ryou's just bringing the chips." she said, putting the plate down on the table.
Suddenly, they heard a bang on the door. Tea had closed it accidentally. They opened it to find Ryou laying against it, fast asleep, the Millennium Ring dangling visibly around his neck. "He said he left it at home!" said Tea, angrily. "That's not our biggest worry, Tea." Joey pointed down the hall. A little way behind Ryou, at the top of the stairs, was Bakura, asleep too. "What's going on?" said Tea, alarmed. "It looks like the same thing that's affecting Yami and Yugi." said Tristan, examining the two. "Help me get them into bed." Tristan and Joey picked up the two, and put them on spare mattresses in the same room as Yami and Yugi.
"Where the hell am I?" said Bakura, sitting up. "Dunno." answered a voice from a little way off. Bakura looked over to see Ryou sitting up, and rubbing his head. "Man, it's hot." Bakura stood up, looking around. The sun was beginning to set. "We're in Egypt." he said. Ryou stood up. "We can't be! We were in Domino a few seconds ago! I just remember falling asleep..." Ryou took his sweater off. The Millennium Ring was clearly hanging around his neck. Bakura looked down to see that he had his around his neck as well. "I'm kinda glad I'm not without it." said Ryou. Bakura didn't pay any attention. "Ryou, this is ANCIENT Egypt!" he said. "That's the Pharaoh's palace!" He pointed across the sand.
