Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi Oh! or SilverFang...*sniffles and huggles him* Not fair! ...ok...on with the story...

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

Hey all! how's it going? Hope that all of you are still interested in my ficcie...gomen nasai for not posting sooner; college, mental block, and being sick stopped me from writing...honest, it did....well enough of my yapping!

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

"My Pharaoh?! My Pharaoh, can you hear me?"

Isis rested Yami's head in her lap. 'My Pharaoh, what has happened to you?'

She brushed some whisps of hair from his face and leaned down resting her forhead against his; her eyes closed.

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

I do not understand what happened to him. One minute he was fine and the next. Could it have something to do with the presence that my pharaoh sensed? Perhaps somewhere buried in these tablets are memories; memories that are waiting to be revealed...

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

Yami slowly opened his eyes expecting to find himself in the museum hallway with Isis. His eyes suddenly widened as he took in his surroundings.

He sat on a stone throne and as he looked around he noticed the rubble, the fallen pillars, the stone slabs, and the remains of which appeared to be an Ancient Egyptian temple.

"Where am I?," he asked himself standing up slowly, his eyes falling once again on the debris of the temple. "...How is it that I've come to be here?," again he questioned outloud.

His surroundings seemed familiar to him yet he could not put a finger on when he had been there. His thoughts then went back to the tablet with the three creatures, the protectors of the Egyptian Gods...

'I sensed a presence and I can recall feeling my strength leave me...could the tablet possess some sort of Ancient Egyptian magic that had been sealed away for over a millenia? And if that is the case...was it waiting all these years for me?'

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

The presence my pharaoh sensed must have been residing inside of the stone tablet he touched. It must have sensed his power; the Eye of Horus did react to it. Damn. I'm supposed to take care of him and look what happens. Hell, why didn't I just say, "Hey Yami, why don't you stand a little closer to this tablet right here? Maybe if we're lucky it will react your magic and you'll wind up on the floor unconcious. Now wouldn't THAT be fun???"

Hell, just sign me up for the ride right now, looks like fun. Get ahold of yourself, Isis. Things will be alright; not that I can see how they will be alright, not with Malik being controlled by the spirit of the Millenium Rod, my pharaoh being unconcious and on the floor and me just sitting here bitching...yeah, things could DEFINATELY be worse...

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

'Wait I do know this place...vaguely but I feel as if I spent much time here...'

The Eye of Horus on his forehead lit his path and he was able to get a clearer view of what lied ahead of him. His eyes widened as the remaining walls of the temple bore drawings that only he could possibly know their meaning...

'This temple...it....it was once mine.'

He crowched down and ran his hand back and forth over a stone tablet that had been polished; it was smooth under his hand as he blew away the remaining dust covering it's story.

'It looks like some kind of story. I wish it wasn't so dark in here....' He strained his eyes to see and then nearly leaped backwards as a ball of light shot up from the Millenium Puzzle around his neck. His eyes widened as he saw what it was the remaining walls and tablets revealed. 'It's a battle....' He blew away more dust quickly, waving his hand in front of him, and using the collar of his jacket to protect his mouth and nose from the swarm of dust he had created.

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

Isis remained deep in her thoughts when she felt movement.

"My Pharaoh, you're al---"

Yuugi sat up slowly and looked around at his surroundings, still a little groggy. He then turned to face her and looked very confused.

"...Where's Yami?" He didn't know what else to ask her because even he didn't know of Yami's whereabouts. He tried calling out to him through their mind link but found no reply.

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

I don't know what I'm supposed to say to him. It doesn't matter what I say though for I do not know where the pharaoh has gone either.

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

"I'm afraid I do not know what has happened to the pharaoh.," began Isis, "I fear this is my fault though."

Yuugi looked down at the Millenium Puzzle he held in his hands and sighed.

"It's not your fault, Isis," he replied, "...Yami will come back to us..." '...He has to...'

"I know you are right; I feel as if bringing him here was a mistake though. That he wasn't ready for what I had to show him."

"The most important thing to Yami is finding out about his past. I know that he's worried about hurting me, Isis, but he's done so much for me so now it's my turn to help him. Plus the fate of the entire world depends on Yami, but this time he won't be alone."

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

Those are brave words for one so young. It took 5,000 years for one mere mortal to release my pharaoh from his eternal solitude...although he may care for Yami, in the end there will be nothing that he can do to protect him. I hate the visions my Millenium Tauk allows me to see...all seems lost without my pharaoh's memories. However is he going to be allowed to save this world once more without knowing his full potential?

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

Yami desparately continued to remove all of the dust from the fallen tablets; trying to piece each part of the story together as if his very life depended on it. Each piece drew him closer to the truth.

'....It can't be...it's Osiris, Obelisk, and Ra...but they do not appear to be the same as the ones in the stone tablet at the museum....'

He continued to follow the tale with his eyes~~trying his best to understand what each table was displaying. The Eye of Horus grew brighter on his forhead as he read each fallen piece, trying to place them in order. The words then came to him as a piece of his past surfaced.

"....The battle raged on....until..." He rubbed away more dust with the sleeve of his jacket. "....until the pharaoh at that time was able to seal..." Again he rubbed away more dust, this piece of the stone scratched and hard to read. "...the creatures which soon became known as...the protectors of the Gods....who was this pharaoh???"

He began to search frantically through the rubble looking for anything that may give any trace of evidence as to who the powerful pharaoh had been....

"Finally..." As he read the name he ran his fingers over the very markings which spelled out the name. "....Aknumkanon...."

Yami suddenly gasped as his eyes widened and he sat there in a state of shock....

"....This man....he was the one who created the Millenium Items...." He looked down, still in shock. "....My father...."

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

Yuugi had begun pacing getting quite worried about Yami; he could tell that Isis was trying to pinpoint the location of her beloved pharaoh, using the power of her Millenium Tauk, but it appeared to be of no help to her.

'Yami...where are you? Without you the Millenium Puzzle is empty...and so am I...'

A tear ran down his cheek. He'd never been separated from Yami for so long. There was the battle where the fire had broken out and he had almost lost Yami, but at least he had been there to save him. Now, he couldn't save him and it pained him to know that there wasn't anything he could do for his friend.

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

Where on earth can you be, Yami? You've been gone for over an hour now, and I've tried everything....Oh Ra...please watch over my Pharaoh...wherever he may be...

I look over at the boy and I can't help but feel guilty. I should have never invited Yami to come back to the museum today. If I had just allowed the events my Millenium Tauk allowed me to see then none of this would be happening. Part of me cannot allow him to be so lost though; wondering what his purpose in life is; who he is; and where he belongs. No matter what my pharaoh...I will always be there for you, even if I must betray my own brother to do so. With his mind being controlled, he has becoming nothing more than an empty shell.

As I pray to the Gods now, I pray that they will give the pharaoh strength to overcome his fears and his weaknesses...and I pray most of all that they will help him to regain valuable memories before he is able to obtain all three God cards...if not...I fear that this world may cease to exist...
