I was really surprised to get 5 reviews. =^.^= Hey, I'm not trying to put my story down; it's just that there aren't many people who like the Yami/Isis pairing. You've made me SO happy.

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I walk downstairs a faint light catches my attention from the corner...I jump back thinking that someone has broken into the museum, but...

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Something wrong, Isis?," Yami asks. He stands there, his back against the wall, the eye of Horus on his forhead lighting up the area.

"...How did you?"

"Get in?" He arches an eye brow and smirks. "That's not important. Now, you said you would tell me more about my past."

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I honestly didn't expect that he would arrive before me this morning. He was never fond of waiting; I suppose that's something that he and Seto Kaiba have in common.

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm pleased that you came, my pharoah. If you will follow me I shall show you all of the artifacts that this museum holds. The ones that are related to your past of course."

"Lead the way.," he replies and follows behind her down the dark hallway.

The eye of Horus lights their way. As Yami continues to follow her, the light from the eye of Horus makes the drawings and hieroglyphs on the wall seem to come alive in an eerie display.

Yami's eyes widen as they pass by them; his attention being drawn to them like a moth to a flame.

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I watch him out of the corner of my eye. I know that somewhere buried in your mind, my pharoah, are your memories of the past. However, I wish I knew if your memories faded for a reason or if they merely faded due to your solitude for 5,000 years. Perhaps your memories were too painful and you buried them away deep in your mind. Am I doing the right thing by telling you what I know?
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Isis, tell me, how did you find all of these?"
"It wasn't an easy task. My Millenium Tauk had a part in finding all you see here; with it I was able pin point the exact locations where the ancient temples once stood."
"...I see...time has most likely hidden much of the past. I fear that is what has happened to me."
"Remember though, my pharoah, we were able to uncover many things from the past~~your memories should be no different."
Yami continued to follow behind her until a certain tablet caught his attention. Isis stopped and turned around to see what it was exactly that he saw.
"This is also me, is it not?," he asked.
"That is correct. In this drawing it shows you and your most trusted allies. It is said that when all seven of the Millenium Items and their holders were united they made an invincible force.," replied Isis as she looked at the images in the dim light.
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It seems cruel that fate has once again called upon him to protect the world once more. Our culture, however, believed that from the moment we were born we are destined for the life that the Gods have set for us. My pharoah was very powerful 5,000 years ago, but now without his memories I fear that when the time comes...
I shake my head, clearing these thoughts from my mind. He will be able to save this world once more; his magic is still a mystery to him, but I will help him to unlock those secrets. Even now there are those who wish to take the Millenium Items and use them for evil. I cannot allow these people to interfere...I cannot allow my brother to destroy this world. The Millenium Rod has complete control over him for now, and if he ever found out that I came to Domino City to warn my pharoah---
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Something troubling you, Isis?," asked Yami arching an eye brow.
"No. Come along my pharoah, this is the way.," replied Isis as she motioned for him to follow her once more.
"I had no idea that the museum had so many hidden passages.," stated Yami, "...Isis, I must know...all of the original holders of the Millenium Items...did they die for me?"
Isis continued walking, looking down as she did so. "My pharoah, know this...protecting you was their only purpose; they wanted nothing more than to see you safe. Without you, all of Egypt would have been destroyed long ago."
"...In other words, they did die for me. Even though I cannot remember them, I still feel a sudden loss for them...I just hope that they know that I'm sorry.," he replied with a sigh. "Yes, sorry that I cannot remember any of them, recall any of their names, or anything we may have spoken of."
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If he only knew. It's not his fault though. We made a vow to protect him no matter the cost; we knew that we would most likely die, but we would not leave him. He needed us and we needed him is the sad truth. Unfortunately, we left too soon and my beloved pharoah, you watch all of our demises. Gomen Nasai for leaving you all alone, Yami.
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It's not your fault that you do not remember them. Your memories have merely faded over the years. I anticipated that they would due to all the years of solitude you must have endured while being kept in the Millenium Puzzle.," explained Isis, trying her best to make light of the situtation.
"...I suppose you're right...still I have so many questions. How did I come to be inside of the Millenium Puzzle? Why am I here now? Merely to protect this world once more as you say? Or do I have a future that is still unclear? I do not know what the future holds instore for either myself nor my host; yet I know that in order to protect Yuugi, I must find a way to protect this world from the evil forces that you have spoken of."
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As they continued through the secret hallway, Yami felt as if they were going lower and lower each time. How is it that no one had known about this place? He wanted to restore his memories yet he feared the consequences. What if they affected his Aibou? How could he live with himself if something happened to Yuugi?
Isis stopped and Yami so lost in his thoughts barely stopped in time. He shielded his eyes with the back of his hand for a moment as a bright light came on. It took a moment for his eyes to get accustomed to the brightness in the room. His eyes widened as he looked around quickly.
"How?," was all he could say. The shock was too great.
"How my pharoah? The question is not how, but, why?," replied Isis as she stood in front of him and placed one hand on her Millenium Tauk. "Like you, my soul was sealed in a Millenium Item."
"...Then you....," Yami asked, confusion evident on his features.
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know that telling him now is not the wisest thing to do, but given the circumstances, he must know that there is at least one person he can talk to about his past.
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yes my pharoah. I was once a member of your council, one of the original holders of the Millenium Items."
"I don't understand, how can you?," he questioned.
"Just like you, I had to wait for one who would release me. My pharoah...," she stated and then wrapped her arms around him, resting her head on his chest and holding him.
Yami looked down at her and then the image of the tablet ran through his mind. There was a woman in the drawing, one who looked almost identical to Isis. He wrapped his arms around her and held her as his thoughts were filled with questions.
