**********************

"Have I ever lied in all my lives before?" Serena asked innocently. Everyone stood there in shock. Serena teleported everyone back to Ridéa's room. She was really tired for using so much energy but wondered why since she usually didn't feel tired when using this much power. Something was up with her and it was scaring her half to death. Serena had started to feel a kind of exhaustion for a few weeks now and she never knew what the problem was. She didn't want to tell Ridéa things like this, or some of her most secretive secrets either.

"True...... But there's a first time for everything!" Ridéa smirked.

"I had a memory of my past about a man who looked to be my father teaching me the ability! So if Endymion and your so called sister only knows how to, then my father wouldn't be able to 'teach' me how to set souls and traps souls! And plus! How did Zypher, Yami, and people get trapped in millennium items! Ra didn't trap everyone and you know that! Meaning some people can do it too! It's either you're to stupid to realize that, or you know it's true but you just don't want to admit it for yourself because you know that I'm right! There! So now you know that I've been getting some memories about my past! I never told you because it's really none of your business! " Serena said very pissed off.

"I'll say it once and I'll say a 100 more times.... Impossible! And don't you DARE call my sister's father Endymion if you're going to talk about him like that! You can only call him Ra! I won't allow someone like you insulting King Endymion like that! You don't deserve to live for actually talking like that about him! You should be punished! I don't care if you're my oldest sister every time we were reborn! You're still not my real oldest sister! Princess.... Uhhhhhhhh.....I don't remember her name or what she looks like because my memories are still clogged... But still! I've lived with you for many of my lives because you just 'had' to be my damn sister! I know you very well Serena..you would tell all your feelings and your darkest because we were 'sisters' and that you wanted to make our bond between us bigger because you knew that we weren't really 'sisters'! Well let me tell you something Serena... It's not gonna happen for as long as I live!" Ridéa yelled.

"I've never lied once and you of all people should know that well!... But I had kept very important secrets from you, about me Ridéa! You think you know me so well when you don't even know the first thing about me! I don't care if you're the second crown princess of the universe and the owner of the shadow realm, it doesn't mean you can treat me like trash! You want to know something new about me that I've kept for 'Ra' knows how long! I've got some of my memories back! Not some.. 'A LOT'! And I also got memories about that woman's face we just saw that made that Christine and Carolyn leave! I'm not telling anything to you! You don't deserve any good information! If I were your oldest sister, I swear I would take the Shadow Realm away from you and rule it myself or give it to Alexis.. She deserves it more than you! Anyways.. I'm leaving! Good by Ridéa! I'll be happy if I never see you again! And to tell you the truth.. I thought you were a kind and caring sister....I guess I was wrong!..." Serena yelled as she ran out of the house.

"Damn Right you were wrong!" Ridéa yelled back. 'Why do I feel bad? I feel a bit guilty for some reason! Why do I feel guilty of her! She deserves it!'

"Serena!" Yami exclaimed as he ran after her.

/Yami wait! Where are you going/ Yugi mentally asked worriedly.

//I'm going to follow Serena to find out what's wrong! She might get herself in danger! I'll be back! Don't worry about me!// Yami replied as he closed the link.

"Fine! I don't care! I don't need you! Die for all I care! I'm a million times stronger than you! You're a weakling compare to me!" Ridéa screamed.

"That's where you're wrong Ridéa!" Alexis spoke as everyone turned to face her with confused faces.

"Wat do ya mean?" Joey asked.

"I feel that Serena is secretly hiding her power from us Ridéa... I can sense a hidden power coming from her body that is far greater than everyone here put together... She could be pretending to be nice.... But really working for the Dark Shadows... You better watch out for her... Her power is stronger than it seems.." Alexis explained.

"But Ridéa killed her earlier today with one of her attacks! How can she be stronger than us put together?" Anzu exclaimed confused.

"I know... But don't you find it strange that we didn't lose any energy bringing her back to life? If she really was dead, then when we were bringing her back to life, it would drain a lot of life force away from us and we didn't lose anything.." Alexis explained.

"Ya... now that you think of it..." Ridéa replied with realization hitting her. "We have to follow her! She's probably out to look for the millennium items! And if she 'is' working for the Dark Shadows, then we better find her quick! Serena has this special power to track down things that hold powers from the shadow realm.... I own the Shadow Realm! And how come she has that power to track things with powers form the shadow realm and I don't!" Ridéa exclaimed very annoyed.

"Oh be quiet! That was very rude of you for what you did to Serena! Serena's right, just because you're some kind of princess with the second highest ranking, doesn't mean you get to talk trash to her!" Mai said coldly which surprised everyone.

"Excuse me? Do you even know what I'm capable of doing? I can kill you with one attack if you don't watch what you say around me?! I can say anything I want to her!" Ridéa replied very coldly.

"Oh stuff it! I thought you were cool! Well I guess I was wrong..." Tristen exclaimed as he glared at Ridéa.

"Don't talk at my second oldest sister that way!" Alexis said a bit annoyed.

"No one was talking to you 'princess'!" Zypher mocked.

"Why you!" Alexis said pissed off.

"You guys! We have to find my brother...errrr....my half brother ... grrrrrrr...my twin self... AHHHHH!... My Yami! And Serena! They could be in trouble!" Yugi said in a pleading tone.

"So! Let them die for all I care!" Ridéa smirked.

"You girls maybe second crown and third crown princesses of the universe and other things as well, but you sure don't act as them!" Anzu exclaimed coldly.

"You know... You guys really don't pay much respect to princesses now do you?" Alexis glared.

"Princesses or no princesses.. We don't pay respect to people who don't deserve it!" Mai bit back.

\Zypher... My millennium ring is pointing to a millennium item that's close by...\ Bakura said mentally to Zypher as everyone argued and yelled at each other.

\\Hm? What do you mean?\\ Zypher asked in a serious tone.

\My millennium ring is pointing towards Malik and Isis's house. Remember they both have millennium items. Malik has the millennium rod and Isis has the millennium Tauk! We should tell them! First... We've got to get them to stop arguing.... then we have to lead the gang out and tell them the information..\

\\Fine.... But we can't bring those princesses with us... I don't trust them! We better find Serena and that Pharaoh! I want to be freed soon!\\

\Do you really believe her?\

\\Yes I do..... There's something about her.... And plus.... She's right.. the Pharaoh's millennium puzzle can release trapped souls so I believe her..\\

\Alright.. But you're going to~\

\\No you're going to stop the arguing!\\

\Oh alright!\ Bakura exclaimed very annoyed.\So much for the brave sole stealer\ Bakura exclaimed but forgot to close his link between Zypher and himself.

\\I HEARD THAT!!!\\ Zypher exclaimed pissed off.

\Gulp...\ Bakura freaked as he made sure he closed the link the time.

"Okay.... Here goes nothing.....SHUT THE HELL UP?!?!?!" Bakura yelled as every got a huge sweat drop hanging in the back of their heads. "Arguing isn't going to solve anything!"

"Bakura mah man! I didn't no yous had it in ya to scream dat loud!" Joey joked as everyone fell over down anime style.

"Sorry.... But I had to get you guys to stop arguing... You guys are acting like three years old who just lost their toy! Anyways..... Me and Zypher are leaving now.... We're going to look for Serena and Yami... Zypher here, believes that~ OW!" Bakura was cut off by Zypher's foot which stomped on his right foot. "Um you guys want to come?" Bakura finished quickly with a stingy feeling in his right foot.

"Uhhh.... Ya... Sure bud... We'll come..." Joey replied.

"Great!" Bakura exclaimed.

"We can't come... And we're sorry about what happened... We were just mad. And we sort of took it all on you guys....." Alexis said.

"It's okay.. Don't worry about it.... We did the same...Well.... See you around!" Yugi replied as the gang left. Right before they were out of Ridéa's room, Ridéa spoke.

"Um..... if you guys do find my sister, tell her I'm sorry and to come home... Tell her I didn't mean what I said and I feel awful about it.... And tell her to come home!" Ridéa exclaimed.

"Ya sure!" Tristen replied as they left Ridéa's and Serena's house.

****************************************

Serena ran as fast as her legs carried her as tears fell down her soft face. She didn't care how exhausted she was, all she thought about was running away until she knew who she was, what's her destiny Serena was tired of having this big blank in her head about who she really is and Ridéa wasn't helping her one bit. 'Who I am? Where did I come from? All these visions don't make any sense to me....Maybe it trying to tell me that my life doesn't have any meaning.... Maybe I'm suppose to serve Ridéa for all of eternity and that I was her personal servant in the past who had to serve her...Maybe that's why I was her 'sister' for all my lives and was always able to reborn...Maybe I'm not really some kind of princess as Ridéa puts it...She probably knows what's my true identity but doesn't want to tell me... I can't ask her...It's really none of her business... Is it?' Serena thought. She didn't know where she was or where was she going, she didn't care. She just wanted to run forever. Serena's head hurt, she felt dizzy, but didn't stop. As much as she tried to ignore it, it just became worst. She felt sick in the stomach. Serena new was that someone was following her from behind but didn't know who, but she didn't stop. She ran towards a big rock near a river and collapsed to the ground. She felt so weak and her dizziness finally was unbearable as she tried to get up, but couldn't. Strong arms picked her up and held her gently as he started walking to some direction she didn't know, or thought she didn't know. Before she fainted, she saw a blurry vision of the colors of black, magenta, and blonde holding her as she finally fainted.

DREAM/FLASHBACK

"There you are my beautiful princess Serena! Where did you run off to? You're starting to worry me! You're my first daughter and I don't want anything to happen to my most precious daughter. If something happens to you... Then I don't know what I'll do! You're the only gift I have left from your father! And it scares me if you just run off without telling me or one of the guards!" A beautiful woman with long blonde hair and silver streaks. Her hair was bellow her waist and it was layered just like Serena's, but instead of a sparkly light blue headband with a bow on the left side, was a silver crown with a touch of light blue for outlines. The woman wore a silky light-blue gown that was strapless. The gown touched the marble floor, and had a silver bow which covered her breast. In the middle of the bow was a silver star. (Serena: Grrr.. I can't explain it!!! You know in Sailor Moon, You know how a sailor scout has this bow on their breast.... Well that's what I mean!) The woman came into Serena's room. Serena was sitting on her huge bed. (Serena: When I say huge, I mean huge. As in it's ten times bigger than a king size bed..... Is it even possible? Oh well! ^_^())

"Honestly mother! You worry too much! I'm not a babe anymore! I was just in the palace's gardens. It's my favorite place to be in. I like to set my thoughts there alone... And if I told a guard where would I be, they would have followed me so they can watch over me. I'm already 16 years old mother and I can take care of my self! Why don't you ever worry about my other two sisters! My youngest one is 10 and my second youngest one is 13 years old. Don't you care about them! You always worry about me as if you care for me the most!" Serena exclaimed as tears fell from her eyes. Her mother walked over to her daughter and hugged her while saying soothing things.

"Oh Serena..... I know why you're saying that... Do you really want to know..... I care about you the most because you were my greatest miracle gift that your father gave me..... I loved him dearly with all my heart and I still do and forever.....But when he died... I was left heartbroken..... And since I'm the queen..... It's recommended for me to marry to another king because there needs to be a king to help me rule..... I never loved my second husband... I just pretended that I loved him and that's how your second youngest half sister was born.... When he was killed by the Dark Shadows ... I was really happy.... Fine.. the Dark Shadows didn't killed him...I'm the one who killed him! I secretly transformed myself into a demon that works for the Dark Shadows then killed him then teleported back to my room so nobody can suspect a thing... But then again....I had to marry your youngest half sister's father.... I'm also pretending to love him.... and I'm planning on doing the same as I did to your first half father... But then again.. I'm going to have to marry another king again.. So I'm not going to kill him until the dark Shadows attack... Element Time told me that the Dark Shadows are going to destroy our kingdom in a month or so... And no matter how strong we get.... It's no use... Element Time told me they'd still win.... She told me that fate says it has to happen.... That's why I don't really care about your other two sisters.... Of course I love them with all my heart and all because they're still my daughters and they're still my whole world... But if had a choice to marry....then they would've never existed because it would of never happened.... And I want you to know that the day the Dark Shadows attack are kingdom, I'm going to use what's left of my powers and trap them into each of the millennium items that you father created... and I'm going to bring everyone's spirits, including the Dark Shadows because if I don't, everyone's spirits will be destroyed, and send them into the future.... I'm going to give you and your sisters the gift to be reborn every time you three die when it's not your time, or your destiny is not for filled... And I will die that very night...You three will fight the Dark Shadows until they are totally destroyed..... And Serena.. Since you're the oldest, you will be future queen when the time comes... The Elemental Soldiers will find their way to you when the time is right and will fight by your sides and obey your commands.... Your memories will be erased but will come back to you little by little until the time comes... Your sisters will remember their memories, except.. your name, what you look like... and other things too.... Please don't be shocked or sad.... And please keep our conversation secret... I'm not really suppose to tell you so please keep it a secret....." The queen explained as Serena listen with anger, sadness, and dismay.

"Mother.... I have something to show you... Please don't get mad at me for not showing you sooner....Before father died when I was just three, he gave me this key! I'm sorry that I kept from you for all those years!" Serena said as she closed her eyes and bright magenta light started to emit from a bright ball of magenta light, and a key that her father gave her before he died appeared before the queen's eyes. It was a key that had priceless jewels in it. (Serena: I'm just going to describe from top to bottom as best I can... so try and follow along! ^__^()) There was a golden crescent moon planted on a golden crown. The crown was on top a big pinkish-red heart with a pure silver-like crystal wings on the sides. In the inside part of the heart where the point stood, was a light blue jewel that glowed lightly. On the left side of the bottom of the heart was a golden chain with a pattern of star, heart, star, heart, and it ended with a crescent moon. Bellow the point on the outside of the heart, was the golden key- shaped part for a key. The key part looked like the letter 'L'. (Serena: Think of the letter 'L' with all the heart stuff thingies on the top! Hehehehehehe! O.o') Under the heart, and on the golden part, was the symbol of every thing she's suppose to rule. The key flew onto Serena's hand as she showed it to her mother.

"Oh dear Ra! It's a key that holds incredibly strong powers.... Your father had a key that looked very different compare to yours.....But it looks really different.... And you said that your father gave to you right before he died?" The queen asked shocked while gazing upon the precious entity.

"Yes..." Serena confessed.

"Does your sisters know?" The queen asked.

"No mother... I don't tell them secrets like this to them.... They think I do, but I don't....... They're still way too young to know my darkest secrets! If I told them things like how father died.... They'd always fear for the Dark Shadows for the rest of their lives and I don't want that to happen.....Especially Chibi Yami!" Serena explained angrily.

"Chibi Yami?" Her mother asked confused. (Serena: You literally see questions flashing on top the queen's head!)

"Um! I call my second youngest sister Chibi Yami.... And my youngest sister... Chibi Hikari for my their nicknames..... They don't like it... Chibi Yami doesn't...." Serena laughed as she blushed in embarrassment of the stupid nicknames she gave them. (Serena: *Hiding behind a tree* Help!!! Ridéa and Alexis are after my HEAD?!?!?!?! *You see Ridéa and Alexis with 'very' stencils and grinning evilly* Ridéa: Oh Serena.... I won't hurt you! After all we 'are' sisters! *Grins evilly while holding a sharp dagger* Come we can go to the mall and chill and we'll have some 'fun'! *Gins even more evilly that would give a cold chill down your spine* Alexis: *Holding a huge gun and grinning evilly* Come on! It will be loads of fun! Don't worry Serena! We won't bite! At least not yet! *Alexis dangerously shot every living creature in site* Serena: Some one! PLEASE HELP ME?!?!?!?!?! THEY'RE OUT TO SUCK MY BLOOD AND USE MY HEAD AS A BOWLING BALL?!?!?!?!?! *Whimpers in fear* Ridéa: There you are big sis! We've been looking all over for you! *Grins very evilly* Alexis: We better get down to business don't you think sis? *Grins evilly while putting more bullets in her gun and magically transformed it into a machine gun* Ridéa: Good idea Alexis! *Sharpens her dagger* Alexis: *_* Ridéa: *_* Serena: O.o... .)

"Awwwww.... I think they're really cute nicknames!" The queen said happily as they both started laughing. They didn't know someone was listening behind Serena's door.

**********************************

"So everything I ever known in my whole life was a damn lie!" A shadowy figure exclaimed with tears in her eyes as she ran out of the palace.

END DREAM/FLASHBACK

Serena awoke in a soft bed with unfamiliar surroundings. The curtains were down so it was a little hard to see inside. She didn't know what had happened to her after she fainted as she went in deep thought. 'Where am I?' She thought as she sensed someone else in the strange room she was in. She didn't know if he or she was a friend or foe. She thought it was a friend but she wasn't going to let her guard down if it was a foe.

"Whose there?" Serena said bitterly as she got into a ready stand and got ready for battle.

"You're awake.... You all right Serena?" A familiar strong and serious voice spoke.

"Show yourself coward!" Serena hissed.

"Hey come down!" The voice exclaimed as he opened the curtains to show that it was Yami.

"Oh! I'm sorry... I thought you were someone who was working for the Dark Shadows..." Serena exclaimed as she started calm down. "Anyways..... Where am I? And how'd I get here?"

"You're in my room...... When you ran out of your house because of your dispute... I ran after you to make sure that you would be okay..... You ran all the way to the forest where the river was and all of a sudden you collapsed beside a big rock near the river..... So I picked you up and brought you here....Are you feeling alright?" Yami asked worriedly.

"Yes... Sort of.... Um..... Errrrrrrrrr.....I really don't know what I'm feeling?" Serena said nervously. "And thank you for worrying about me... After all... We just met...." Serena finished which made Yami blush a little.

"You're welcome.... What do you mean you don't know what you feel?" Yami asked worriedly.

"Before I answer your question..... Would you please answer mines..." Serena asked nervously.

"Sure...." Yami replied.

"Do you know all your memories about your past when you were Pharaoh?"

"Um... Yes I do... May I ask you why'd you ask?"

"It must be nice to know who you really are and to have all your memories.... I envy you....." Serena said sadly as a tear fell down her cheek. Yami saw her tear and went to comfort her.

"What do you mean...." Yami asked sensing a great sadness, anger, and hatred.

"You're lucky....I wish I knew who I am and what my past was..... I'm not really sure if my real name is Serena Tsunami.... I was orphaned from a terrible car crash when I was really young....I had total amnesia and the doctors didn't know if my memories were ever going to come back.....I stayed in the orphanage until I was 10, that's when my half sister Ridéa came with my mother in this time period.... They explained to the orphanage that I was related to them and that Ridéa's mother was my mother....... But I bet it's all lies! Ridéa awakened some of the memories about my other lives that I had with her...... She couldn't awaken the memories about my kingdom or where I actually came from because she couldn't..... It didn't bother me as much until I started having these occurring dreams aside of my past... There's this man that's telling me to get all the millennium items... I think he can tell me who I am... What's strange is... I feel as though as if I've met this man and that he was very close to me....I started having this kind of exhaustion for awhile now.... And I really don't know what's going on because I really don't use a lot of my powers.....It's scaring the hell out of me! I didn't bother to tell Ridéa because no matter how close I am to her I don't really feel that I can trust her......Anyways.... Thanks for listening to me Yami....I don't know why I actually told you this because I rarely tell anyone about my emotions or my darkest times in my lives.....I just feel like I can trust you for some reason.... Please don't tell anyone Yami...." Serena pleaded feeling a bit better.

"Don't worry.... I will not tell anyone..." Yami replied.

"We should find your brother and the others.....I'm too weak to use my powers to teleport us to them let alone to locate them at the moment.... That's why I have my trusty Lazing Bored......Hehehehehe... Ridéa doesn't know I own this bored because I didn't bother telling her... Anyways..... Source of light with ancient spin, send forth the magic power with in, elements of fire, water, air, nature, thunder, light, ice, gravity, and the moon that surrounds the four corners of the universe. Force! No myth light! Release the light!" Serena yelled as a light blue laser beam of light pointed to a direction. "Come on! Lets follow it before it disappears!" She added as they ran where the light led.

"Princess..... Take care for now!" A figure in the shadows exclaimed as seven others nodded. They disappeared in a blinding light.
