Night had fallen on Domino City. Most of the people had retreated to the safety of their own homes, in the comfort of their own beds. Those who hadn't hurried to do so. A lone girl wandered the streets, unnoticed by many of the passing people. She turned a corner, unaware of the five people following behind her, none of them with a good intent.
In his room, Kaiba typed furiously at the computer, his fingers flying over the keys, in hopes that he would finish the report before school started. Mokuba came into the room.
Kaiba looked up at the sound of the door opening. "Mokuba! What are you doing up?"
Mokuba frowned. "Seto, you should be asleep too!"
"I will as soon as I finish this report." He said reassuringly.
Mokuba grinned, edging towards the door. "So you haven't finished your schoolwork? Then next time I don't do my homework, you can't yell at me."
"Mokuba!" Kaiba yelled, getting up from his chair.
It was too late. Mokuba was out of the room and down the hall before he could reach him. His brother's laughter echoed down the hallway.
Kaiba turned back to his computer. He tried to concentrate on typing, but his mind was not on the task. The computer hummed softly, the noise lulling him closer to sleep. Suddenly, with a gasp, he sat up straight again, and started to work once more.
//Come on,// he thought tiredly. //Just a bit more to go.//
Yet, after a few short lines, his typing slowed, and then came to a stop. He rubbed his eyes, trying to clear them of sleep.
//I can't sleep yet,// he thought. //I won't have time to do all of this tomorrow. If I can finish this now, I can proofread tomorrow. I just have to stay awake a while longer.//
Despite his mental urging, he soon slumped forward, fast asleep.

Yugi hurried through the streets, eager to get back home before he was late enough to get in trouble.
"See Yami," he said accusingly. "This is your fault. If that duel hadn't taken so long, we might have made it home on time."
"It wasn't my fault." Yami replied airily. "You're the one who accepted the duel in the first place. I just play the game for you."
"Anyways," Yugi said worriedly, "I need to be able to tell Grandpa something."
"Just tell him you were dueling." Yami said, unconcerned.
"It wouldn't matter. He knows that we still could have gotten home on time. Besides-"
Yugi's worries were cut off by a sudden cry from down the street. He started to rush towards the source of the sound.
"Wait, Yugi," Yami said suddenly, stopping him in his tracks. "Let me take over it might be dangerous."
"Alright." Yugi agreed, and a light shone from the puzzle.
Seconds later, Yami was running down the street, hoping whatever it was, he was not too late.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Yami sat by the hospital bed, looking at the figure lying on it. The girl's face- it seemed so familiar. Who was she? Where had he seen her before?
----------------------------------*Flashback*------------------------------- ---------------
Yami was seated at the throne, looking downwards. It was an awkward position, but protocol required it. It would be no good, his servants had explained, if the pharaoh looked all the people in the eye. Of course, they were conveniently forgetting that they too, were treated almost as equals by the pharaoh.
A girl knelt before him, her head bowed. She was dressed all in white, the material loose and flowing. It cascaded across her feet and onto the floor.
She looked up, and for a minute, he gazed into shadowy black eyes. He couldn't help but look away after a few seconds. There was something different about her glance.
He had seen many people, being pharaoh. Yet he had not seen someone this young with eyes that spoke of so much- sorrow, wisdom, power, strength, of knowing your deepest fears and secrets . It was strange for one's eyes to show so much when her face was virtually expressionless.
The room was warm, them being in Egypt, and torches lined the room, but suddenly, Yami felt cold- very cold. And it was not a good feeling for the pharaoh to have, especially if the pharaoh is the holder the Millennium Puzzle.
----------------------------------*End Flashback*--------------------------- ----------------
Yami gasped as the memory came to him.
"Yami!" Yugi called. "What is it?"
He shook his head. "It is nothing, Yugi."
Surprisingly, he remembered that afterwards, he had not felt afraid, in fact, he had felt strangely safe.
--------------------------------*Flashback*--------------------------------- ------------------
Seto came forward after the girl had left.
"Who was that?" he whispered, as if afraid to speak too loudly.
Yami sighed. "A guest, from. . . a different land."
Seto snorted. "A different land. You think? She seems so strange."
"I know." He replied. "But somehow, I think everything will be alright for now."
Seto nodded and then left. Under his breath he muttered, "For now, Pharaoh, for now."
As Yami watched the high priest leave, he felt his eyes narrow. He did not trust him. He would have to watch both of them carefully. If either one was plotting something, he would find out.
----------------------------------------*End Flashback*--------------------- ----------------
//What does this mean?// He thought. //Who was she? Who is this? What is going on? Why am I suddenly remembering things?// He sighed. //I get the feeling I'm not going to be receiving any answers.//
This would be getting nowhere, he decided. He looked up from his musings to see that the girl had awakened and was looking at him questioningly.
He promptly decided it would be best to switch with Yugi. The puzzle shone. Yugi blinked, slightly disoriented.
"Just settle everything, Yugi." Yami told him soothingly. "You're good at talking to people."
"Easy for you to say." He muttered. "I thought talking to people was Tea's job."
Yugi felt Yami smile, and mentally growled. "Well, she's not here, is she? All yours now."
Alright, that's chapter three. I know this is really short, but I'll write more later. I just needed to see whether anyone is reading this or now. It doesn't really matter, but that way, I know how fast I need to update. If the only reviewer is Demon(Dark Magician Demon, who was my only reviewer for chapter two and happens to be a family member) then I can take my time writing this. Anyways, just review and tell me what you think, whether it's good or bad. If there is anything I can change, add, explain, whatever, let me know.
Also, anyone who can guess why I named this story 'The Sounds of Silence' can get a special request concerning this or any upcoming story. Whether you want a character added in from a different thing, your own character, a change of plot, a certain story, anything. Just write what you think in a review if you want to enter, or e-mail me with your answer. Just to let you know, there can be many winners, but if you only get it half right, it won't count.
Again, please, please, review. Thanks!^.^
