With a sigh, Sapna took a cloth and padded the side of the plate as she picked it up again. The spicy aroma filled the house as she transported it into the living room on a small table between Tristin and Joey. Immediately, Joey began basically breathing in the food.

" Wow! This is hot and good!" Joey said between shoveling food into his mouth.

" Better than the restaurant!" Tristin chimed in. Everyone else however, simply looked nervous. Sapna smiled, feeling familiar eyes upon her. Glancing up, the Queen caught Yugi staring at her. When she smiled, he blushed, fixing his gaze upon everyone else trying to laugh with the joke that was just said. Yugi looked back up at the Queen, watching her smile and gracefully laugh and talk.

"Yo Yug! Your turn, man! Stop checking out girls and play!" Joey laughed at his best friend's cherry red face.

"Oh…right!" Yugi laughed cheerfully taking his turn, carefully not looking at Sapna.

"Yami, how do you play this?" Sapna asked quietly.

"Don't worry about it, were about to play Duel Monsters in a minute, so then you could play." Yami smiled.

"Oh… Okay."

"Alright everyone, lets see your hands!" Tristin exclaimed, causing everyone to show his or her cards. Apparently, Yami had won. Again.

"I win!" The Pharaoh chuckled at smart remarks and faces made at him.

"If it's not you, then it's Yugi!" Joey grumbled. Sapna got up, taking the plate to the kitchen for soaking. Before she could exit, Yugi stood in her path back to the living room.

"Hi Yugi!" Sapna blushed happily.

"Hi Sapna, I just wanted to ask you… what was on your hand?" Yugi inquired, taking her hand in his.

"Just a meek burn, nothing to be worried about…" Sapna said looking away, knowing Yugi would make a big deal about it.

"Gods, Sapna. This is a rather large burn. Are you sure you're alright?" Yugi whispered causing Sapna to shiver.

"Of course!" Sapna smiled, which was quickly replaced by a frown at how Yugi was smiling at her. "… Yugi?" Sapna stared into his amethyst eyes, which barely lacked color.

"Sapna… My love, Mere Pyaar. (my love)" Yugi spoke, his voice slightly coaxed with another's.

"Yugi… since when have you known Hindi?" Sapna said nervously smiling. Yugi pushed his body against hers into the kitchen counter. Sapna's eyes went wide upon the actions. She was even more surprised however, when he kissed her passionately upon the lips. Sapna pushed him off of her.

"Yugi, I knew there was an attraction between us, but I expected you to be at least a little respectful…" Sapna stormed off into the living room, throwing herself upon the couch, attempting to fumble with the television remote. She ended up angrily setting it back upon the coffee table when she realized she didn't know what a channel was. She sighed angrily, causing Yami to look over at her. He rose, while the others were putting the small disk looking tokens and cards back into a leather case. He sat rather close to her upon the couch gently asking her what was wrong.

"Sapna? Is their something wrong? What happened to you, a few seconds ago you were so happy?" The young Pharaoh asked carefully.

"… No Yami. I am fine. Now, why don't I watch you guys play duel monsters, hmm?" Sapna quickly rose, claiming a chair next to Yami's. The dark looked at her like she was loosing her mind. He shook his head knowing she would tell him when she was ready.

"Okay, guys! Let's play!" Sapna said, straining a little too hard to sound excited. The others around her looked at Yami questioningly when he arrived; sitting down again; he simply shrugged.

"Sapna? You know how to play?" Yugi asked happily walking into the room, plopping onto a chair right next to Sapna. The Queen winced afraid. This luckily went unnoticed amongst the others.

"Well, not that well… considering I am one.." Sapna smiled, running a hand through her bangs nervously.

"What's wrong Sapna?" All around the table became silent, waiting for the answer.

"Er…Yugi… I'm fine. I don't know what you're talking about!" Sapna smiled as she continued. "Now lets get this game started, shall we?"

"If you say so…" Tea said irritably. Sapna glanced at the glare Tea held at her until she quickly looked away upon eye contact.

**

A good thirty minutes had passed and Yami was slightly ahead of Sapna by fifty points.

"Yami, you couldn't win without the Mystic Sorceress on your side!" Sapna smiled, the rest of the group however, was still worried about her. Except Tea.

Suddenly, however, a loud bang could be heard outside. Everyone's eyes went wide as they rushed outside silently praying it wasn't anything major.

"What is that?!" Yugi yelled as he stared upon a golden palace not too far into the distance, countryside of Domino City.

".. It's…it's… my old palace!!" Yami screamed, everyone stared in disbelieve at the monument.

"Yami.. But how?" Sapna asked.

"I'm not to sure.." Yami shook his head.

"Guys! Where's Bakura?!" Tristin shouted. The group looked around frantically for the snowy haired teen, but to avail, he wasn't spotted anywhere.

"Bakura…" Sapna whispered.

"Bakura!!" Yami roared angrily. "What are you up to now?! Where are you?" Yami frantically searched every were possible, until, the youth walked into the room carefree like nothing happened. Yugi was the first to run up to him.

"Bakura! Were have you been?" Yugi asked urgently.

"Oh, I was in the bathroom!" The hikari said surprised.

"So then if Bakura was in the bathroom, then who… did that?" Joey asked pointing off into the distance through the window. Bakura's eyes went wide upon his vision; even the Yami didn't bother to come out from surprise.
