Chapter 3

Slowly and cautiously, Yugi rang the doorbell. Kaiyita answered. "Oh.hi Yugi, how um are you?" "I'm fine, can we talk for a moment?" "Well-

-"Kaiyita, who's at the door?" " A friend, I'll be right back." She closed the door, as the words stung at her tongue. "So, that's your real name," Yugi said slowly. "Yugi, you couldn't possibly understand! I've never ever had a friend before, and this name of mine has caused me half the trouble." Kaiyita cried her eyes filling up with tears. "I, I'm sorry, I didn't know, you could have told me." Yugi put his arm around her shoulder.

"I'm sorry," she finally sniffed. "It's okay.hey, tomorrow you can come hang out with us." "Are you sure?" Kaiyita asked. Yugi nodded happily. "Definitely!" He turned to leave, but then said, "Well, I guess you don't have as bad of a name anymore.it made you a friend." Kaiyita headed back inside. Slowly, Yuki said, "Kaiyita, I have a feeling that his spirit is safe to trust."

The next few weeks, Kaiyita started to warm up more and more to Yugi and his friends. Not only that, but people would talk to her. She started to feel like finding her special spirit friend had changed her life for good. However, she could sense that there was something wrong with Yuki. She stayed quiet in her mind chamber, trying hard to remember things from her past.

Finally, one day Kaiyita spoke her mind, "Yuki, would it help if you met the ancient spirit of Yugi's again?" "Maybe, I'm not sure. But I feel as if he will do me know harm." "Alright then, we'll see him at school today," Kaiyita said cheerfully as she brushed her hair.

When she got there, she felt nervous.she wasn't even positive Yugi had a spirit like her. But than again, he did have that weird puzzle around his neck, and it had the same sign on it that her necklace did. Well, here goes. "Yugi!" Kaiyita ran up to Yugi. "Hey, Kaiyita, how are you?" "Good," She slowly lowered her voice, "um, Yugi, about the puzzle you have, does it have a spirit inside it?" Yugi looked taken aback then slowly said, "Yeah, it does. He has me call him Yami." "We'll, I um, have one too, except her name is Yuki, and- -"Wait, that means you have a millennium item!" Yugi exclaimed. "Shhh! Don't be so loud. I guess I do. I slowly reached and grabbed it from around my neck. "I guess it looks like a pendant." I said slowly. "The millennium pendant," Yugi said in awe. "Well, could my spirit talk to yours?" She asked embarrassed. "Sure!" Yugi said. He quickly let his spirit out, along with Kaiyita.

Yami solemnly looked up and suddenly said, "You! You were the one Yugi and I dueled at Kaiba land!" Yuki nodded and quietly said, "destiny has its way of bringing people to each other." "Yes it does," Yami said, turning and staring at the blazing sun. Suddenly images started to speed faster and faster through Yuki's eyes. Visions of ancient times and many friends and foes gone. She had seen his face before, facing the glaring sun in wisdom and love for the people. She fell to her knees, gripping the pendant. "The pharaoh.he is near," She choked out.

Yami bent down and helped her up quickly. "Are.are you okay? Is there anything I can do?" Yuki turned to him eyes full of tears. "Yami!" She gripped her arms around him tightly and wept. Yami could feel her heart, beating with his as one, so familiar. "Yuki, how I have missed you." He knew now the spirit of the pendant, was a long lost friend.

Yami brought her up to stand. "How, did you survive, I thought I lost you forever," his eyes looked at the girl standing next to him in disbelief. "I locked myself inside the three pieces of this pendant. I knew in order to save the power of the pharaoh, they'd need both pieces to the puzzle." "I still can't believe you're alive, I didn't know how I would be able to see you, but I knew what had to be done, I'm sorry." "There is no need to be sorry Yami, you did what you had to." Yuki said with a clever smile.

Suddenly the school bell rung. Immediately both Yugi and Kaiyita returned to their minds. "Were late!" They yelled simultaneously. Running as fast as they could they got to class just before the teacher took role call. "That was a close one," Kaiyita mouthed. Yugi nodded vigorously. The teacher droned on and on but Kaiyita didn't care. Somehow she knew that everything was all right between her and Yugi's spirit. Everything was fine.for now.
