Chapter Four: The Vision
"Yugi? Yugi?" Tea was starting to get worried. Yugi had been awfully quiet since they entered the park. It's like he's in a trance or something she thought worriedly. What have I done? Yugi was all right, but Tea didn't know it. He didn't really know what he was doing either. All he knew is that one minute, he and Tea were walking around in the park, and the next he was standing inside of a moving bus next to Yami. Yami looked equally confused. ""Yugi? What are we doing here? Am I in control?"" What a strange question, Yugi thought. They could always tell who was in control because the one that wasn't was merely a spirit floating next to the body or inside the confusing corridors of his mind taking his time. ""I didn't activate the puzzle, and you would know if you did."" This wasn't right. Why did his voice echo like Yami's did? ""If you're not in control, than who is?"" Yami was starting to get very annoying to Yugi. ""I thought I was in control."" ""No."" ""Then why are you a spirit?"" Yami furrowed his brow in confusion. ""I'm a spirit right now?"" Yugi was almost ready to pound Yami, even if he was a spirit. ""Don't you remember that I was walking with Tea to the park before we got here?"" Yami nodded his transparent head. ""Yes, I remember that."" ""Then what are you so confused about?!?"" Yami looked at Yugi head to toe. ""But, Yugi, you are in spirit form also."" "" WHAT?!?!?!"" Yugi looked at his hands. Sure enough, he could see right through his hand. ""AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!"" Both of them screamed. As if heeding their scream, the bus came to a halt and everyone in it piled out of the bus. Because they couldn't think of anything else to do, they followed the passengers. They suddenly realized that all the passengers were kids no older than about twelve years old. ""Do you think this is a school bus for junior high school kids?"" Yugi wondered out loud. ""It doesn't matter right now,"" Yami told Yugi. ""What matters is finding out why we are here. Or at least an exit."" ""Oh, yeah."" "What?" A small girl turned around. She had short black hair barely long enough to keep the ponytail that she wore, big, brown eyes that reminded Yugi of Ryou's, and had weird skin that seemed paler than it should be. She was wearing a blue t-shirt with blue jeans. Around her waist was a belt with a drawstring bag tied to it. She bore a confused look. "What is it?" The girl next to her asked. "I thought I just heard two people talking to each other. About whether we were junior high kids, and that they needed to figure out why they were here or an exit. Sounds a bit crazy, I know, but I heard it so clearly." "Maybe it was just your imagination running wild again. Most people here know we are here for our field trip, and I'm pretty sure anyone would know why they are here." The other girl didn't even turn around. "Yeah. maybe." The first girl continued to stare at the space where she'd heard the voices. ""Whoa, that girl can hear us?!?"" Yugi was surprised. No one should be able to hear what the spirits say unless they share a body with the spirit, or unless they were a spirit also. Why was this girl able to hear them talk to each other? '"Do you know anything about this, Yami?"" ""No, nothing."" The girl jumped again at their voices. But the teacher stopped her from listening anymore. "Sii! Get in! Everyone else already picked their patterns!" The girl quickly ran into the building. Yugi noticed that it was labeled "The Bead Shop". ""A field trip to a bead shop?"" ""Maybe it's a field trip custom from another town. We don't really know where we are, remember?"" They went inside the bead shop because they didn't have much else to do. The girl had decided to design her own pattern, saying that somehow she felt that she would accomplish more if the design she wore was that of her own. She pondered over the right beads for a while, and finally decided to use a glass full of blue seed beads, a glass full of gold seed beads, two identical golden scarab beads, and a clear blue glass bead in the shape of a drop of water. Yugi and Yami soon became bored with the design the girl was making, which so far had only gold beads, so they looked at the other patterns. ""Look, one of them has a lizard in the middle."" ""This guy has a baseball cap on his."" ""I think this girl is making a cobra tamer."" ""A what?"" ""A lot of girls in my time like to make cobra tamers out of colorful beads."" ""How did that get started?"" ""I started it."" ""Oh."" ""Interesting cobra tamer."" ""That's not a cobra tamer! That's a charm bracelet!"" In their little argument about the "cobra tamer", they soon got sick of looking at the other kids and went back to the girl. She was putting the finishing touches to her necklace. She clamped the second clamp bead tight and snipped off the extra wire. "I'm done!" she exclaimed excitedly. She eagerly put the necklace on. Just when she put it on, a stream of light came from the center of the necklace and almost blinded Yugi and Yami. While they were shielding their eyes, they heard the voice again. The same voice that they had heard when they had combined the seven original millennium items. ~This is the first hidden millennium item that will enter your life. I am sorry, but you shall only remember the item that you have seen. I cannot harness enough magic to help you remember the person as well. Every time a hidden millennium item is drawing near, you shall have visions like this one to help you. It is impossible to obtain these millennium items yourself. You must defeat the holder in a game and befriend them to "obtain" the hidden millennium items. After you befriend the bearer, all of you will have a vision of some of Yami's past and what it had to do with the 5000 year old version of the bearer. A word of warning: all of the hidden millennium items contain 500 year old spirits, and beware of their wrath. That is my advice this time. So, until the next bearer comes, FAREWELL.~ The stream of light dissolved and the inside of the bead shop appeared again. Yugi looked around. None of the other people seemed to have seen the light. In fact, the girl was still standing in front of the mirror admiring her new necklace. No time seemed to have passed at all. ~It is time for you to leave.~ The bead shop around them dissolved and tuned into the image of.Tea?!? Oh, yeah. Yugi thought as he mentally hit himself on the head. Tea must be very worried about me. How long was I in that vision anyway? He decided to ask Tea. Tea was looking very surprised. You've been like that for an hour," she said in a worried tone. "Why?" Yugi smiled weakly. "I know what to do now. I'll tell you later."
