Well this is the part where I let everyone know that I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! I wish I did though cause then I'd get all evil scientists and make Yami, Kaiba, and Malik real people instead of just cartoons. So props goes out to the guy that created Yu-Gi-Oh!

Now let's see what else do I need to tell you bout this fan fiction of mine? Oh yes where it takes place and all that other good stuff right? Well it kind of jumps from the past to the present like the anime does with the whole 'finding lost memory' thing. I'm not really sure when it starts so I'll just say around this season (during dueling on blimp). Don't hurt me if the characters come off like they're out of character this is a first Yu-Gi-Oh fiction for me so go easy please.

I've done a few changes so I wouldn't get confused or confuse anyone that reads this, seeing as how there's the normal person and then they have the alter egos. I know that some use the Yami Yugi/Yugi and Yami Malik/Malik, but that's too confusing for my brain so I've changed that around. It's just going to be Yami and Yugi while with the two Malik I'm going to have the alter ego in his Japanese name. So it'll be Malik and Marik then Ryou and Bakura. Get it now? Hope so cause that's the best way I can explain things.

Now on to my other stuff like the rating and whatever else I figure since parts of this is going to be placed in Ancient Egypt I'll put the rating up to R just to be safe. My own characters belong to me and me only so don't use them. Right now I own Jendayi and Anka, but they'll be others coming into the story later on. Also if you like either Mai or Tea then don't read this it has major bashing on their parts. Maybe some bashing on Serenity, but I'm not sure of that one just yet.

Now more confusing stuff explain before you continue on to the actual story I've drawn up from my mind. The whole Yugi turning to Yami and vice versa only happens in the present as of right now. In Ancient Egypt they are two completely different people along with the other guys with alter egos. I've decided to make them brothers and whoever else has an alter ego. But even in the present it's going to change, but that's getting ahead of the story. Now that I'm done ranting over the stuff that you should know I'll shut up and let you go on to reading my story. But before ya go one more thing, I want to ask this one...if I'm messing something up in this like character's correct names or whatever then let me know. I'm still looking up as much info on both Yu-Gi-Oh and Ancient Egypt as I can, but mostly need the help on Yu-Gi-Oh like other characters and so forth.

Thanks for reading this (if you actually did) and now on with the story!
