A/N: Thank you for the reviews! *Huggles reviews* Everyone who reviewed gets a pixie-stick. ^_^
Hm, okay, I'll start off with explaining the kitten, Mafdet. Mafdet is only 10 weeks old, and she is silver and black cat called an Egyptian Mau. Mafdet is Yami's kitten, which Yuugi, Joey, Tea, Tristan, the Bakuras, Ryuuji, and Grandpa Motou got him as a surprise. Yami spoils Mafdet terribly, and so she believes that she's queen of the house. Anyone who has cats know how they act. ^_^ (I have three cats.) The name, 'Mafdet', comes from an ancient Egyptian Cat Goddess before Bastet. The story introducing Mafdet will be written eventually, I'm just lazy. I hope you grow to love Mafdet like I do. ^_^
Sorry about the spelling errors, I finaly got a program with spell check. Whether or not I'm too lazy to use it, however...
The title of the sequal, 'Itsumo', means 'Always'. So I will have 'Eien' and 'Itsumo', meaning 'Eternally always'. Kind of redundant, but hey. Still thinking of maybe adding a third story...
Japanese (for this chapter and last): Niisama - Big brother (Very, very respectful, Mokuba uses it with Seto in the anime and manga) Jiichan - Grandfather (in a close relationship. Yuugi uses it in the series, and Yami does in the manga)
Warnings: Violence in this chapter, but no blood. PG at worst.
Summary of last time: Yuugi and Yami woke up becuase of a nightmare Yami had which consisted of only voices. They figured that it may have been a vision of some sort. The next morning, Yuugi got up with a feeling of aprihension. Mafdet showed up, pouncing on Yuugi then tearing out of the room. Yuugi got ready for school, then left for it. He met up with Joey and the others, Tea and Joey asked him if he was feeling alright, and he said yes. Then they went to school.
Preview: Well, this chapter picks up the pace. That's all I'll say.

Eien; part 2 by: Amiasha
Yuugi ran back to the Game Shop, splashing through puddles on the sidewalk. It had started raining during school, and was now pouring. Yuugi held his bag over his head, giggling as he ran.
//Aibou!// Yami shouted.
/What?/ Yuugi asked, still giggling. He knew exactly what. Yami didn't want Yuugi to catch a cold. And besides that, when Yami wanted to come out of the puzzle at Yuugi's house and Yuugi was wet, Yami copied the appearance Yuugi had. Which meant Yami was wet as well, and Yami was like a big cat. Water = Bad.
//Stop getting wet!// Yami whined. //It's going to make me wet!//
/It's not like you'll melt./ Yuugi replied, unlocking the door of the Game shop and opening it. He took off his shoes and walked into the darkened shop, noticing a note on the cash register.
Yuugi
I had to go out for a little while and closed up the Game shop. When you get home from school (which you must have, if you're reading this) could you or Yami watch out for the shop for a few hours until I get back?
Grandpa
P.S. Tell Yami that if his cat shreds another booster pack that I'm going to make her disappear.
Yuugi laughed, telling Yami what the note said.
Yami materialized in his slightly transparent form, and was, as expected, also sopping wet. His hair drooped slightly, and his bangs were plastered against his face. "Jii-chan will do no such thing to my Mafdet." Yami sniffed haughtily.
Said kitten launched herself into the room and onto the counter, sliding wildly across it and smacking into the cash register. She was unfazed, getting up and jumping onto Yuugi's head. She then realized that his hair was wet, and mewed loudly, tumbling off Yuugi's head and darting out of the room.
Yuugi and Yami looked at each other, blinked, then laughed.
Yuugi pulled out a folded piece of paper from his bag as Yami stalked over to wring his hair out in the sink. Yuugi opened the paper, looking at it.
"98%!" Yuugi cheered, Yami coming back into the room. Yuugi looked up at him then back to the paper, causing water from his hair to flick into Yami's face.
Yami rubbed his face with the wet sleeve of his jacket, only succeeding to get himself more wet. He sighed. Yami was not a happy spirit. He was wet, cold, and even his socks were wet from the soaked carpeting.
Yuugi didn't notice. "And that score was with you annoying me, too!" He added, still on the subject of the test.
Yami looked at him. "Me? I didn't do anything."
Yami had woken up from his nap during Yuugi's math class, and he and Yuugi had talked the entire time through the test.
"Sure." Yuugi said, laughing. "Hey Yami, you know Grandpa asked for us to watch the shop? Do you think that you could watch it and I could take a nap?"
"Sure thing." Yami said. "I just need to go back to the puzzle and you need to get dry, so I can take over."
"Thanks Yami!" Yuugi said happily, hugging Yami. "Come on, go back into the puzzle for a second and I'll go dry off and change clothes."
Yami nodded, fading back into the puzzle.
Yuugi ran upstairs, nearly tripping on Mafdet, and dried off. He changed clothes to a black turtleneck and another pair of blue pants. /Alright Yami, you can come out. Thanks again./
Yami took over. //You're welcome, aibou.// He walked back downstairs, also nearly tripping over Mafdet. Mafdet looked at him like it was his fault.
Yami turned back on the lights and flipped over the sign on the door, changing in to 'open'. He walked across the brown carpet in his newly-changed socks, careful to avoid any wet patches. He took up the seat behind the cash register, resting his head on his hands which were propped up on the counter.
Mafdet slinked down the stairs, jumping up onto the counter but not sliding. She trotted over to Yami, and bumped her head against his chin, wanting to be pet. Yami picked her up and set her on his lap, then started to pet her. She purred, laid down, and curled up, falling asleep immediately.
The door of the shop opened, and a man entered. He was wearing a long black cloak. He didn't appear to really notice Yami, he was more interested in the cards.
Suddenly, Mafdet got up, her fur standing on end. She hopped up onto the counter again, her green-gold eyes focused on the man. Mafdet hissed at him.
The guy turned to look for the cat, and in doing so, noticed Yami.
The guy jumped, staring at the spirit with obvious shock. Yami felt his danger sense going off, in the feeling of panic. Yami controlled it, however, and stood up. Mafdet hissed again.
The mysterious guy took a step toward Yami, and Mafdet's hissing grew louder. She had turned sideways and arched her back, her tail puffed up, and she looked like a traditional Halloween cat.
The cloaked man stepped even closer, to less than five feet away. Mafdet was fully spitting, with her ears flat and her tiny kitten teeth showing.
Yami had pressed himself against the wall behind the counter which his cat was standing on. He was starting to get a little freaked out. Mafdet was always friendly, in fact, a lot of the regular customers would bring her toys when they came in. Mafdet loved meeting new people, and had never growled at anyone, let alone hissed.
//Yuugi?// Yami asked, deciding to wake up his aibou.
/Hm...? Yami?/ Yuugi asked sleepily.
//Yuugi, I'm sorry to wake you, but this person came in and he's starting to scare me.// Yami said calmly.
/What?/ Yuugi asked in confusion.
The guy walked past the little cat, making his way right over to Yami. He leaned close to the spirit, but Yami still couldn't see his face.
Mafdet hissed one last time, before launching herself, claws out, onto the guy's head.
The guy shouted in surprise, and Yami could have sworn he'd heard that voice before. The man grabbed Mafdet off his head.
"Hey!" Yami snapped, pushing himself off the wall to slam into the guy. "Put my cat down!"
The guy dropped the kitten, in favor of turning to the spiky haired boy.
"Who are you?!" Yami shouted.
/Yami! Yami, what's going on?!/
Yami felt Yuugi open their link far enough that he could look through Yami's eyes.
The guy stared at Yami again, then threw back his cloak. The man had red eyes; not the red that Yami's sometimes appeared to be, but a darker, harsh red. He had black hair, and looked to be about 35.
Yami stared at him in shock, before realizing that his vision was darkening. He wasn't passing out though, he knew that. He was having a flashback.
"How could I lose? Pharaoh... I will not allow you to continue your reign. I will defeat you!" The black haired man shouted angrily, sweeping his staff through the air for emphasis.
"No. I will not allow you to destroy all that we have worked so hard to achieve. You have lost, and as such, I will enact the consequences." The young man across from him seemed to be about 15, and he had lots of gold jewelry. His long cape swished around his ankles, and his gold bangs swayed in a breeze that didn't exist.
The man scowled. "You will regret this! This is not the end, boy. Someday, you will die by my hand, and I will be victorious and claim my rightful place as Pharaoh!" His scowl turned to a malicious smile.
Then he frowned again at the boy's words.
"Silence! You will never become Pharaoh, nor will you terrorize Egypt any longer!" The Pharaoh raised his right hand, his bangs starting to flip wildly around his face. "Begone to the Shadow Realm!"
Yami's vision cleared immediately. The man was still standing in front of him, magic raising in his aura. He was obviously starting a spell. So Yami cast his own.
"Begone!" Yami shouted, raising his right hand just as he did in his flashback.
The man lifted his staff. It was black, but what it was made out of was unapparent. It had what looked like a thick gold wire twisted around it, coming all the way up to the top. There, more wire was wrapped around a large ruby orb, about three inches in diameter.
The two cast their spells at the same time, but neither had their intended effect. The two spells collided, and instead of canceling each other out, they combined. The mess of magic swirled together, turning a magenta color. It started to pulsate, then expand.
Yami and the man looked at each other for a second, before trying to find cover. The man ran for the exit, but was slowed because the spell was in-between him and the door. Yami frantically searched around for Mafdet.
The man made it to the door just as Yami grabbed his kitten and huddled down, covering his head the best he could while protecting Mafdet. Then the spell exploded.
