DISCLAIMER: I do not own yu-gi-oh or anything related. But now I am fine with that. Yami: Thank heavens! Kitty: Oh, shut up. I was nice to you, because I helped Yugi to not cheat on you! Yami: What?! Kitty: Ok, you'd better go and read now! Bye! Yami: What do you mean, 'Yugi to not cheat on me'?

Chapter 5- Relation
The next day, Yami comes back and tells Yugi that he had no luck finding any Egyptian God cards. "But I only looked among the common duelists in the main dueling area. Today, I think I'll." Yami looks down at the trouble face of his friend, who is sitting on his bed, apparently deep in thought. Yami sits down by Yugi. "What's wrong, Yugi?" he asks.
Yugi looks at Yami. "Yami," he says. "The first time you disappeared, after the duel with Merick, I was at the arcade. I heard voices inside my head there, Yami, and I saw a girl there.
"Then, the next day, I found this marble ball." Yugi continues, holding out the ball. Yami looks at it, but makes no move to take it. "And I saw a girl with a gash in her forehead, so I tried to help her. I called to you to help me, and you came. Yami, do you remember this?" Yami looks at Yugi strangely and slowly shakes his head. Yugi nodded. "I couldn't remember it either. But then, last night, someone was in my room. In here." Yugi shudders. "He was dressed like one of Merick's Rare Hunters, and he had a knife. I'm guessing that Merick sent him to take me to him, so we could duel again. But then the girl came." Yugi looks hard at Yami, who is quietly looking at Yugi, taking all of the news in. "She banished the Rare Hunter with silver light. Then, with a voice in my mind, she said she wants to challenge you to a duel. Today. She said she'll be waiting in the cove if you're going to duel her."
There is a moment of silence between the two, then Yami stands up. "Yugi," he says. "May I see the ball?" Yugi holds out the blood red ball, and Yami goes to take it. His hand, though, is pushed back with a small zap. Yami pulls his hand back. "I know who she is." Says Yami. "She is Syrin, my sister."

Chapter 6- Belief
Later that morning, Yami uses Yugi's body, and they go down to the cove. As they get there, they see a green-robed figure leaning against a tree and staring out across the ocean waters. She turns as Yami/Yugi come up, and she bows deeply.
"Greetings, Pharaoh." She says.
Yami nods. "Syrin." Syrin straightens and grins. "So you remember me now, brother?"
"I am not your true brother, Syrin."
Syrin scowls. "What, brother. Are you ashamed of me? We are blood- related. We had the same father. I am royal, just as you are Yami. I could have had the throne, but father favored you more, because you were a son. You ruled, and forgot about me, but I traveled far, and came across a new source of power." Syrin holds up the silver ball hanging around her neck. "This is the Thousand Crystal. My power." Then, Syrin sings out something, and a silver light shoots out and surrounds a startled Yami. Yami gasps as he becomes immobile within the bubble. Then, the Millennium puzzle glows gold, and the bubble is forced off. Yami pants as he kneels on the ground. "This power is older than even yours, Yami, and I wield it."
"Syrin!" Yami yells. "Enough of your games! I came here to duel, not to compare power!"
Syrin drops the ball, which rest against her chest. "Very well, Pharaoh. But this will not be a duel of this foolish tournament. This duel will be in the Shadow Realm."
A light surrounds them, and they fall into a black abyss. Yami opens his eyes. They are in a dark vortex. He sees Syrin standing across from him.
"Pharaoh!" she calls in a mocking tone. "Let's set the wager for this duel. If I win, I will ask only for you to give up your rein, and the puzzle, where your spirit rests, so that Yugi Moto is free to live his life."
"Syrin!" Yami explodes. "Keep Yugi out of this! He and I are bonded, and we are a team!"
"A team?" Syrin says coldly, all mocking tones forgotten. "Yami, Yugi is only a boy. You are a Pharaoh, thousands of years old. Do you truly think you had a right to take his body, and use it to protect the world again?"
Yami feels a wave of guilt sweep over him, and he hangs his head. "It. It's not like that. Yugi and I are friends, and I respect him. We work together!" Yami looks up.
"But what if you change Yami?" sneers Syrin. "What if your dark side takes over Yugi, just like the spirit of the Millennium ring takes over poor Bakura? Can you trust yourself enough to ensure that you will always act as equals? Tell me if you can Yami, for I will be surprised to find out how." Yami bows his head, his hopes fading fast. Then, Yugi's voice comes.
Spirit! Yugi calls. You can do this! I believe in you, and I will help you win this, just like you helped me win in Duelist Kingdom! I am proud to stand by you, Yami! "But Yugi, Syrin is right. What if I am tempted to take your body? I don't know if I can trust myself." Yami! Says Yugi. Your heart is true. Even if you do, I know you won't do anything to harm me. It'd my destiny to help you. Just believe Yami! Believe!
Yami looks up. "You will not win. Yugi and I are bonded. It is our destiny to help each other. If I win this duel, then you will forever quit this quest to become Pharaoh. Is it a deal?" He challenges.
Syrin smiles slowly, and begins to laugh. "You're right Yami. You and Yugi are destined to go together. But, Yami, can destinies not be changed? I accept. Let's duel!"
