*******************************************
Eyes wide and mouth open, Chione sat rigid in bead, thoughts swirling through her head so fast she had
to remind herself to breathe.
(A/N: Now, give me a break here, I had a major brain fart and forgot how exactly it worked, and I
didn't really feel like staying up until four-thirty to watch when it came on cartoon network just to hear
that intro thing. You know: Long ago in a distant land.... or something like that)
'I remember now! The shadow games became so dangerous the Pharoah locked the energies away inside
the seven millenium items! And Yugi possesses the Millenium Puzzle! But, what was that thing about the
Millenium Puzzle?!'
Sighing in frustration, Chione got off of the bed and began to pace around the room. 'Great, I find the
answer to the question, and all I get is another question!' Stopping her pacing, she took a deep breath, 'I
need to relax', she thought, sitting down on the floor. Folding her legs into the lotus position, she closed
her eyes.
'I'll practice, that's what I'll do.' Taking in deep, measured breaths, Chione opened her mind and let herself
drift. Concentrating on the room across the hall, she was immediately drawn to Yugi, who seemed to be
radiating pure light and innocence. Drifting farther down the hall, she came to Yugi's grandfather. He
seemed a little more balanced than Yugi, though his heart still leaned very much to the light side.
Opening her mind even more, she allowed herself to see even further, into the town. And so her night
passed, reading auras, and forcing herself not to concentrate on confusing topics such as Yugi's millenium
puzzle.
***************** Yugi's POV
Approaching the bed, Yugi sat down, still puzzling over Chione. He sighed.
/I just don't know, Yugi, I wish we knew more about her/
//Well, I'm sure she'll tell us when she's ready// he thought, yawning.
Crawling under the covers, Yugi closed his eyes and smiled.
//Tomorrow we can introduce Chione to the gang, I wonder what they'll make of her//
/Yes, I wonder.../, Yami thought.
Suddenly Yugi got this weird feeling, like, someone had gone right through him or somehting.
//Did you feel that Yami?//
/No, what did you feel Yugi?/ Yami questioned, instantly on the alert.
Yugi frowned, //I guess it was nothing...//
****************** Yami's POV
Mentally frowning, Yami wondered what it was Yugi could have felt. Dissmissing the thought, Yami
closed his eyes and allowed himself to slip into slumber, where he was immediately greeted with
a strange dream.
' Walking down a dark hallway, Yami looked around. Wherever he was, it was dark,
desolate, and musty. /Almost like a tomb of some sort/ he thought to himself.
Suddenly he came to the end of the halway, and before him sat a regal looking
woman with a tall ostritch feather on her head. Apparantly staring straight through
him, Yami noticed her deep maroon eyes. /They look almost... familiar/
The woman looked to be old, and yet he could place no age to her. Suddenly,
someone else appeared, seated in front of her. This knew person seemed
to be a girl of around Yugi's age. Taking a deep breath, the woman spoke, her
voice radiating order. "You must try harder, my daughter, free your mind of
all thoughts, emotions, feelings. You must be able to concentrate solely on
your purpose."
Shifting on the floor, the girl closed her eyes and began to chant, long forgotton
words, in a long forgotton tongue.
Suddenly glancing up from the girl in front of her, the woman appeared to take
notice of him for the first time. "Hello, pharoah." she said, gracefully rising to
her feet, and even though she was a good five inches shorter than him, Yami was
filled with the sense that she was towering over him. "It has been a long time."
Slowly approaching, the woman held her head high, and radiated calm. "You
do not remember me, but I remember you. I remember the moment you were
born, and the moment you died. I remember your strengths, weaknesses, faults.
All things I rarely afford mortals."
Yami opened his mouth to speak, but she held up her hand for silence. "I know you
are full of questions, but it is not in my place to answer them. You must find the
answers within yourself." The woman slightly smiled. "Remember my name,
Pharoah, I am Maat, Goddess of Justice. In a sense, the real me doesn't know I'm
here, so I must end this now."
Fading slightly, the woman touched his forehead gently and whispered,
"Trust your intuition, Pharoah..." As she vanished, so did the girl, though the
mysterious chanting stayed, echoing about him. '
Opening his eyes, Yami frowned to himself. /What an odd dream/, he thought. Most of it was a blur, but
he could clearly remember a woman's face, and her voice, saying, "Remember my name, Pharoah, I am
Maat, Goddess of Justice. Trust your intuition..." Sitting up and stretching, Yami let Yugi take control.
********************* Yugi's POV
Getting dressed, Yugi conversed with Yami.
/I had the strangest dream, Yugi/
//Really, what was it about?//
/It had something to do with Maat, the Goddess of Justice/
//We should ask Grampa about it at breakfast, he might know something//
/Good idea, Yugi/ Yami thought.
Yugi smiled and walked out his bedroom door. Pausing for a moment, Yugi walked up to the door across
the hall, //I should probably wake Chione, huh//
Knocking on the door, Yugi frowned when he recieved no answer. Knocking again, Yugi decided he had
better just walk in.
******************** Chione's POV
Still deep in a trance, Chione was suddenly caught off guard when the door slammed right into her.
"Oof." The wind was knocked out of her and she hit the ground, concentration broken.
"Oh my gosh!" Yugi said, rushing in. "I'm sorry! I didn't know you were there!" Helping her up, he gave her
weak smile, and she laughed.
"It's okay, really, you just woke me up.", she said.
"You fell asleep on the floor?"
"Uhhh... I was really tired."
"Well, we should probably head down to breakfast!" Yugi said, smiling.
'Breakfast! I'm starving!' Following Yugi out the door with a smile, she suddenly paused, 'I wonder what
mortals eat?'
Entering the kitchen, Yugi motioned for her to have a seat at the table. She sat down as he went to the
cupboards.
Pulling out a box of something, Yugi turned to her and asked, "Do you like cereal?"
'What the heck is cereal?', she wondered before blurting out. "I love it!"
Sitting down at the table with her, Yugi brought with him two bowls, two spoons, the box, and a carton of
something. Gulping, Chione stared at the objects in front of her. Thankfully, Yugi made his first and she
was able to mimick his actions, pouring the cereal and milk into the bowl.
At that precise morning, Solomon walked into the kitchen.
******************* Yugi's POV
As his Grampa entered the kitchen, Yugi felt Yami take over.
"Good morning, Mr. Motou." He heard Chione say.
"Good morning, Chione."
Looking at the table, Grampa grabbed himself a bowl. "Cereal sounds good!" he said.
Waiting for him to sit down, Yami asked, "Grampa, may I ask you a question?"
******************* Chione's POV.
Lifting the spoon to her mouth, Chione studied the strange food. 'Oh, well, better eat it.'
"What do you know about Maat, the Goddess of Truth."
The spoon fell back into the bowl with a clatter.
