AN - Here we go again! PLEASE read and review because I am getting no reviews at the moment. If no one likes the story anymore I'm going to stop it and start a new one, so tell me what you think.

Yami returned to the house later in the day, a few books hired from the library under his arm, to find the house full of people. Joey and Mai were working in the shop, although it didn't really look like they were working when he came in. Up in the living room sat Ryou, Tristan and Serenity. Bakura, Yugi and Tea were nowhere to be seen.

"What is going on here?" Asked Yami, placing his books on the table.

Ryou, Tristan and Serenity explained about the day's activities and the girl in the room upstairs.

"Can I see her?" Asked Yami, curious to meet a real life duel monster.

"Sorry Yami." Said Serenity. "It's in case she wakes up with strange people in her room. We chose Tea and Yugi to sit up with her, and I'm going to go and take over from Tea later on." Yami nodded, understanding her reasons and settled on the sofa to read his book on The History of England. Tristan and Ryou were busy watching some game show on the TV, and Serenity was flicking through a magazine. Suddenly a voice broke the silence.

"Serenity!" Called Yugi, standing at the top of the stairs. "She is waking up!"

Quick as a flash, Serenity leapt up and rushed up the stairs, she and Yugi could be heard hurrying to the upstairs room. Yami returned to his book, knowing that there wasn't anything that he could do. Tristan and Ryou began talking in hushed tones about the girl upstairs, their TV programme forgotten.

Serenity silently opened to door to the spare bedroom and crept in. Tea was sitting by the bed, watching the girl. Serenity crossed to the other side of the bed and sat there. Yugi stood at the foot of the bed nervously, not knowing what to expect.

The girl on the bed stirred slightly, turning over and screwing up her eyes. She moaned gently and opened her eyes, blinking so that the scene in front of her swam into focus. It took perhaps three seconds for her to realise where she was. She sat up quickly and moved away from Yugi, Serenity and Tea until her back was against the headboard.

"It's alright." Soothed Serenity. "We won't hurt you."

"She probably won't understand you Serenity." Said Yugi. "Do duel monsters speak English?"

"Just try to calm her down, let her know that we don't want to hurt her!" Whispered Tea. Turning back to the girl she said, "Please relax. We are friends. We want to help you." The girl looked at them all as if she didn't understand anything.

"I told you, she wouldn't understand you!" Said Yugi. "What do you think she wants?"

"Some space would be nice!" Said the girl. They all looked at her in amazement.

"You understand us?" Asked Tea.

"Of course I do." Said the girl. "What happened to me? Where am I? Who are you?"

"Don't worry, everything will be OK!" Serenity said. "My name is Serenity Wheeler, and this is Tea Gardner and Yugi Mouto. You are in a bedroom in Yugi's house and you are.were.I mean." She trailed off, not knowing what to say.

"I have been restored!" The girl murmured. "Someone released me from my card."

"That was I." Explained Yugi. "You were released in my battle about two hours ago. I'm not sure how."

"Then Quinnos did the right thing." Muttered the girl before saying loudly to Yugi, "I am sorry, I am being rude. Thank you kind sir, you freed me."

"No we are being rude." Said Tea. "Would you like something to drink or eat?"

"Yes please. But could you just tell me something. What day is it?"

"It's Friday 28th March, 2003." Said Yugi, looking at his watch.

"Thank you, yes I would love something to eat. I am starving, I haven't eaten in over one thousand years."

"What?" Chorused Yugi, Tea and Serenity.

"I'm sorry but it is a long story. Perhaps I could tell you another time, I am feeling a bit unsteady at the moment."

"Of course." Replied Yugi. "We will leave you alone and get you something to eat. You must want to rest. We can talk in the morning and introduce you to our friends. They were all worried about you."

The girl smiled as they left. They noticed how pretty she really was. They also wondered about her, especially why she had been locked in a duel monsters card and, more importantly, who she was. When they had gone they girl got up unsteadily and crossed to the window. Sitting on the large, comfortable chair by the large pane she looked out at this new world. She was confused and disorientated. Things like cars, planes and traffic lights puzzled her. She looked out over the town, feeling scared, bewildered and lonely. She tried to sort out in her mind what had happened to her. As she sat, gratefully eating the soup that Tea brought up for her, everything began to fall into place. Eventually she got up and walked over to the bed, where she curled up and tried to sleep, with a thousand thoughts crowding her mind. In due course she drifted into a fitful sleep, dreaming of her last day on the Earth before she had been captured in a duel monsters card.

AN - Bit of a boring chapter, but the next one will be full of revelations, I promise! Please review as I said, because I don't know what you all think of this fanfic.
