Yugi: Dreams of a Memory
"Tea, anything at all?" Joey asked, rushing up the stairs at about lunchtime on the ninth day. "Not a peep from any of them." she said, sounding a bit sad. The room, with it's two beds and two mattresses was quite cramped now. Only one person could fit in there as well. It had been Tea's turn this morning, and Joey was coming to take over from her. "It can't be that long now, can it?" she said, looking up at Joey with tears in her eyes. Before he could answer, she stepped over Ryou, and hung onto Joey. "No, Tea," he said, putting his arms around her. "It won't be long."

Yugi, Yami and Yuugi quickly found out why the town was deserted. All the people were gathered in front of the Palace, to hear an announcement by the Pharaoh. Yamiki was standing up with him on the balcony. "We've got to get past here." said Yugi, putting his head back around the corner, and looking at Yuugi. "Here," Yuugi said, holding some thick sheets. "Put these around you, and over your heads, and we'll sneak behind the crowd. Yugi and Yami carefully put the sheets over their heads, squashing their hair down a bit, while Yuugi kept watch. Then Yuugi did the same. "Now follow me." he said, leading them out behind the crowd. They didn't listen to what the Pharaoh was saying.
The crowd, the Pharaoh and the guards didn't notice, but Yamiki sure did. The Pharaoh sat down, and she walked to the edge of the balcony. "You three, the cloaked ones at the back!" she yelled. They froze, everyone's eyes upon them. Yugi turned his head to look at her. Big mistake. She saw the bright purple glint of Yugi's eyes. "It's you! Guards, after them!" The three sprinted out of the town, where Yuugi lead them. They heard the clatter of the guards behind them. The three came to a rock.
Yuugi undid the golden band around his head. On it, in a place which had been concealed by his hair, was a long pointed golden shape. He slid it into a hole in the rock. Yugi and Yami looked slightly confused at this, but didn't say anything. A door in the rock slid open, and the three ran into it. The door closed, just before the guards got there.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
They walked carefully down the steps. Yuugi had taken the sheet off of his head, but Yugi and Yami still had theirs on. As they came closer to the bottom, they heard voices. "That's strange." said Yuugi. "They must have visitors."
They turned a corner, into a brightly lit room. "Ryouu!" Yuugi called. A boy with long hair ran out to greet his friend. The other three in the room stood up. "Yugi?" said one of the taller ones. "Ryou?" said Yugi, looking at the other short one, removing the sheet from his head. "Yami?" said Ryou, looking at the other sheet-covered figure. "Bakura." said Yami, taking off his sheet, and looking very annoyed at the taller boy who was wearing the Millennium Ring. "What are you doing here?" Yugi asked the Ryou from his own time. "I'm not sure." Ryou answered. Yami and Bakura were staring daggers at each other. "Even in Ancient Egypt, those two can't get along." Yugi said. "But anyway, why are you so much taller now?" Ryou asked, looking at the boy who was once much much shorter than him, but was now almost taller than him. "Pendulum." Yugi said simply, showing the Puzzle, and the Pendulum which hung around his neck.
"Yugi, who's this little you?" asked Bakura, being nice to him for a change. "This is Yuugi, the Ancient Egyptian Me. What about these guys?" Yugi said, looking slightly confused at Bakura's lack of rudeness. "This is Bakuura," he said, indicating the person next to him, who seemed suspicious at Yami and Yugi's likeness to the Pharaoh. "And that's Ryouu." Bakura said, pointing to the boy who was chatting away to Yuugi. (AN: All Ancient Egyptian characters, with the same names as the present-day ones featuring in this story will have two 'U's in their name, e.g.; Yugi = Yuugi, Ryou = Ryouu, etc.) Ryouu stopped chatting, making a bow to Yami and Yugi. Yugi found it funny, but didn't wish to offend Ryouu, so kept quiet.
"Bakuura, this is Yami and Yugi." said Yuugi, to Bakuura, who was still looking at them suspiciously. "We need some help. Apparently, they are from the future." "So are these two." Bakuura said, indicating Ryou and Bakura. "But what's up?" he said, encouraging Yuugi to continue. "They, and me, were arrested on charges of impersonating the Pharaoh, and using Shadow Magic." Yuugi said the last two words almost in a whisper. Bakuura's eyes shot up to look at Yami and Yugi. "It's ok. They're good people." Yuugi said quickly. "But we escaped from the Palace. It was the Princess who gave the order for them to be arrested."
"So what'd you expect me to do?" said Bakuura.
/Yami, I don't think we're here to stop Bakuura./ Yugi said mentally to Yami.
//I think you're right, Aibou. But then, why are we here?//
/I.../
Yugi was snapped back to the people in the room. "I'll go out." Ryouu was saying. "I'll find out what's going on, and come back here." "You're sure?" Bakuura asked in concern. "Yes. Yami, Yugi and Yuugi can't go out at the moment, you're also being looked for, Bakura could easily be mistaken for you, and people will think that something funny's going on if Ryou comes, because we're exactly the same." Ryouu replied. "Ok then. But don't be long. Here's the key." Bakuura gave something to Ryouu. It looked like one of the points from the Millennium Ring. "See you later!" Ryou ran up the stairs, and silence fell onto the room, until the door was heard closing.
"So, how did you guys get here?" asked Yami, looking at Bakura and Ryou. "I'm not sure." said Ryou. "I was carrying some food up to your room - Tea, Tristan and Joey are there looking after you - and I heard Bakura fall over behind me. Of course, I barely saw that it was Bakura, because the next moment, I was here." "That's what happened with us." said Yugi. "Except when I turned up here, the Pendulum was active." "I'm assuming you're being looked after too." said Yami. "Probably." said Bakura. "But that doesn't explain why you're here." said Yuugi.
"No... it doesn't..." said Yami, thinking hard.
"Tea, anything at all?" Joey asked, rushing up the stairs at about lunchtime on the ninth day. "Not a peep from any of them." she said, sounding a bit sad. The room, with it's two beds and two mattresses was quite cramped now. Only one person could fit in there as well. It had been Tea's turn this morning, and Joey was coming to take over from her.
