"Yugi....we're going to Egypt.."

"???? We are???"

"Thats the only place Kahnah would go.If I know her...and of course I do...she's in the oasis waiting for me."

"Thats great! Maybe she can help you remember the rest of your past."

"She IS my past..."

:::Yami said that last sentance lightly and quietly.:::

"Er...one problem...how're we going to go about getting to Egypt?"

"Well....I can get there...I dont know if you can handle it though."

"What do you mean?"

"Well the transportation is the shadow realm."

"Wha--?! The shadow realm?!"

"Yes.It ties this world together.Thats how Kahnah and I can dissapear like that...You're probabaly not going to like my solution though.."

"I'm listening..."

"Well...a friend of mine knows how to get me out of the puzzle and back to my physical being."

"Oh...."

:::SIlence ensued for a few moments as Yugi thought.He smiled:::

"It's up to you.If you want to then go ahead.I've got your back on whatever you choose."

"Thanks Yugi...I have to do this."

:::Later on Yami was separated from the puzzle and Yugi returned to Domino:::

"This is new-ish...."

:::He disspeared and reappeared in the oasis:::

"Kahnah...where are you hiding?"

:::Kahnah was in the treetops above him.She flipped down.Her reflection shown in a nearby pool.Yami walked over and kneeled to the water:::

"Haha Kahnah...I found you...you must be back--"

:::She shoved his head into the water for a few seconds then pulled him up and chuckled:::

"Kahnah!!"

"Yes?"

:::Yami shook his head quickly,spraying Kahnah with water:::

"Hey! Watch where you fling the water!"

"You're the one that dunked me...again!"

"I cant belive you fell for it."

"Well...it was over 5000 years the last time you did that."

"I'm just glad to see you my lo-- friend"

:::She thought:"Shut up!!!! Who knows how much he remembers about you, you goose of a girl!!". Yami smiled.He knew what she had almost said.:::

"As I am glad to see you...You worried me."

:::Yami smirked:::

"I hadnt seen any explosions in a while."

"I thought I'd bee a good little girl...for now."

"You dont have to be afraid to say that you know..."

:::Kahnah pretended that she didnt know what he was talking about but somthing about that look in his eyes gave her the feeling that this attempt was going nowhere:::

"I-er.."

"I know."

:::He grinned:::

"I do remember you.I may be a year older than you but im not brain dead."

:::She smiled but said nothing.They sat ,backs against the biggest tree in the oasis:::

"I dont know how I could have missed you at duelist kingdom...I saw everybody...at least I thought I had.."

"I was with Pegasus most of the time...trying to convince him that winning a duel was the only was to get that puzzle to work."

"Nice one but...how could you stand being in a converstion with him?"

"He's not really an evil person...just...hurt..."

"Seemed pretty evil to me when Yugi and I where in the shdaow realm dueling 'im."

"I know.I was there."

:::Silence was set as the sun set into the sky, behind the golden dunes.:::

"So...Kahnah...What happened after I had gone?"

:::This question struck a sour chord in her mind:::

"You dont want to know...really..you dont.."

"Yes I do but if you--"

"I guess if I can tell anybody it would be you....You see after you left...Masarik had no one to be afraid of...he took over everything exept the throne...your throne because I protected the royal rights.He found a way to imprison me for a good few years...during that time...was one of the worst of my life..."

"Kahnah...I--"

"The past its the past..."

"If you wish I would like to hear what else happened...but only if you want to.."

"I think you'd kill Masarik for it..."

"From the sounds of it, yes I would."

"For those years he trained me for combat and tortured his prisoners and I..."

:::Yami looked like he was ready to snap Masarik's neck in two,Kahnah could tell.He put his hand on hers:::

"I'm sorry I wasnt there...I should have been...to help you and protect you..."

"No...no Yami...no matter how painful it was I think it was for the best..besides you made a good few friends during that time."

:::He was obviously mad at himself for not being there for Kahnah when she needed him and Kahnah could read his eyes like a book:::

"Stop feeling like that..I dont want you to...I dont care if Masarik had killed me if it would make your eyes joyful again."

:::He smiled and looked her in the eyes:::

"You are wiser than you give yourself credit."

"Thank you and so are you."

:::Yami had found it increacigly hard to read her emotions now than it had been as children.She could read him but he could not get but a word.Kahnah could see the questions he asked himself in his mind, just by looking in his eyes.To her, the saying that 'The eyes are the gateway to the soul' was very correct.:::

"To answer your first question: yes.The second one: never."

"But I asked nothing..."

"I know but I know you think it."

"How so if I may ask?"

"It's almost as if I can read your mind.If I look into your eyes long enough I can tell exactly what you are thinking..I'm sorry to intrude into your mind though I cant help it."

:::He smiled:::

"Dont worry.I used to do the same thing with your mind exept now...I cant."

"I can tell.Your hand's been shaking slightly for about 10 minutes now."

:::She smiled.He laughed slightly:::

"I am an open book to you arent I?"

"In a way.Might I ask to you?"

"You're a locked diary full of memories of which I havent delved into in many a year though I have not the key.."

"Yes you do..."

:::Yami is puzzled by this and says nothing for a few moments.He looks deeper into her jaden eyes and suddenly its like a door opening to him.He seemded to have unlocked her mind to himself when he had just let time flow and said nothing, opening his mind and heart:::

"Woah..."

"Amazing isnt it, what can happen when you open a door that hasnt been opened for a long while?"

:::She knew what memories he was looking at in her mind.She had nothing to hide from him whatsoever so it didnt matter where he looked.He wrapped his arms around her:::

"I swear I'll never leave your side again.."

"As do I my love.."

:::She had said it and meant it too.He smiled at this.She embraced him back:::

"Hell nor high of water shall keep me from keeping you from harm...I once again am sorry..."

:::She said softly, able to tell without looking at his face that a tear of pain hit him like a brick which he kept back:::

"The weak shed tears of anger.Only the strong can truely shed the tears of pain though you need not to."

:::He was silent though she seemed to hear his every thought.They returned to their places at the tree.Yami smiled as he said this:::

"Simon Mooran once said a woman would infect me like the plague...one has."

"Only I hope that this one wouldnt kill you."

"I dont think she would though I doubt not that she could."

"Never though always and forever."

:::That was all that needed to be said for quite some time.:::

(Me:I think I'm gonna cry!!! Kahnah:Haha...wait till you see the ending...how the prophecies show it anyways. Me:Them damn prophecies never seem to mean good. Yami:No kidding. Me:Stay tuned!)
