Yugi: Dreams of a Memory

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------

Yugi was thrown to the floor in the same room as Yami. He heard the door slam behind him. "Damn, that hurt!" he said, standing up, and brushing himself off. "What the hell does Yamiki think she's doing?!" He sat down on the bed next to Yami, who was being very quiet. "Hello?" Yugi waved a hand before his aibou's face. Yami blinked, and sat up straight. "Oh, sorry. Just thinking about what to do, that's all." Yugi rolled back onto the bed, with his feet still on the floor. ------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------------------------------"I just don't understand it. She said we were arrested because we were impersonating the Pharaoh, and using Shadow Magic" There came a knock at the door, and Yuugi was shoved in. "Why'd you have to go and say I was helping you? I've lost my position, and at this rate my freedom!" he yelled. Yugi sat up. "Yuugi, you have to understand a few things, and I thought you would be most likely to believe us." he said. Yami looked at his hikari, rather confused. "Well, Yugi hasn't told me what he's up to, but sit down." Yami said, offering Yuugi a space on the bed between himself and Yugi. The small, and rather annoyed boy sat down on the bed. "Now, Yuugi, you must listen. You know I'm Yugi Muto, right? Well, I'm you, about five-thousand years in the future." Yugi explained gently. Yuugi was evidently shocked, but remained silent "Sometime soon, the Pharaoh Yami will use his own Shadow Magic, and lock seven spirits, including his own inside seven Millennium Items. But before that, a sorceress named Sennen Yami will kidnap the Princess, and put Yamiki's spirit inside a Millennium Item." Yami said. "Prove this to me." said Yuugi, who was actually believing most of it. ------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------------------"You see this golden items we wear around our necks? Well, this pyramid one is called the Millennium Puzzle, and this is the one the Pharaoh will be locked in. You see, Yuugi, I am your Pharaoh. I'm the spirit who was placed in this puzzle. When Yugi here solved it, five-thousand years in the future, I was set free again." Yami paused for a moment to let this sink into small Yuugi's mind. "The other Item Yugi wears, the Pendulum, once contained Yamiki." Yami added after a few seconds. "So you're the Pharaoh?" Yuugi said after about a minute. "And you set him free, Yugi?" They both nodded. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------"It took a while for him to get completely free. First he hung around in the other half of my mind, and helped me out. A while after that, he appeared as a spirit, and then physically." Yugi said, hoping he wouldn't confuse the boy. "So the charge of impersonating the Pharaoh is completely wrong, because I am him." said Yami. "And I'm just a taller version of you." said Yugi. "Through some other magic which would confuse you even more." Yuugi nodded, confused at what had already been said. "But now we need to escape. I have a friend we can go to; but he's always with someone who's not so friendly." Yuugi said. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------"But the doors are guarded!" said Yugi. "Yugi, when have guards been a problem before?" smiled Yami. "You've got Shadow Powers of your own now!" Yugi nodded. "Yamiki went back to the Great Hall, with the Pharaoh." Yuugi said. "Great!" Yugi and Yami walked to the door. "Stay behind us, Yuugi." Yami said. "One, two, three..." They pushed the doors open, and immediatly faced fifteen guards, each armed with spears. Yami smiled, the puzzle glowing, and the eye symbol appearing on his forehead. The same happened to Yugi. "Mind Crush!" "Time-Mind Paralyse!" Each hit two guards with their attacks. Yuugi hung just inside the doors. "Mind Paralysis!" "Time Freeze!" Four more guards froze in their tracks. -------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------A sword blade swung out of nowhere, slashing Yugi's arm, and ripping through his shirt. Yami was distracted for a moment, and a sword cut across his leg. Yuugi watched in fear as his two new friends were cut twice more each, Yugi stumbled, with both arms cut, and his left leg. Yami managed to dodge several more attacks, but a blade glanced across his back, and one across his chest, breaking part of the chain he used to hold the Puzzle. He caught it before it hit the ground and shattered. Another stroke cut his arm, going through one of the leather bands that went around his arms. "Time-Mind Paralysis!" he heard Yugi shout, disposing of another four guards. Yami looked up, to see the final three guards coming towards him. "Mind Crush!" he called, and the brief, yet painful battle was over. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------Yuugi walked out of the room, carrying several strips of cloth, which he wound around their injured arms and legs. He brought out the remainder of a torn sheet, and wrapped it around Yami's torso, covering the long cut on his back, and the short one on hs chest. Yami winced in pain a few times, but kept a tight grip on the puzzle. He looped a spare strip through it, and tied it back around his neck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------"This way." signalled Yuugi, leading his friends down the corridor. There were no guards; they had either been guarding Yami and Yugi, or guarding the Pharaoh. They found a door leading out behind the Palace. Quickly, they ran out into the town, which appeared deserted for some reason.
