Disclaimer: I still don't own Yu-gi-oh, but I do own the mysterious girl with black hair. She mine, mine I tell you Mwhahahahaaa! Okay on with the story.

ooooooooooooooooooooooo

"I see you're awake, " said an harsh voice behind Yugi

"What do you want, why are you keeping me here?" said Yugi in an exasperated tone

"My master wishes to posses you puzzle and god card, its quite simple really. You shall stay here till you yield up both" replied the voice

"Why didn't you just take them?" said Yugi

"My master considered it, let us say unsporting to take it from you. Also your puzzle according to ancient texts must be duelled for but my master believes that he has found a loophole. If you give it freely then it is his" said the voice with a sneer

"And just who is your master" said Yugi with a trace of anger in his voice that someone was once again after his puzzle.

"Enough questions, now will you give them willingly?" said the voice

"Never!" said Yugi

"We shall see if a day without food changes your mind then" finished the voice. The door slammed and Yugi was once again left in darkness.

"I think its left here, whoah!" Shouted Tea as she gripped Tristan round his waist even tighter.

"Do you think we could go any slower please" asked Tea.

"Nope sorry only one gear on my motorbike" replied Tristan as he swerved from the curb.

"Ah, here we are" said Tristan pulling up to a sign reading "bits and bobs of all sorts". Tea jumped off quickly.

"I can see now why you hair's always in funny directions" said tea, desperately trying to pat down her now hedgehog like hair.

"Hmm," said Tristan a bit disgruntled. He worked hard to keep it spiky.

"Hey I think I can see the entrance" said Tristan parking his bike. Tea and Tristan walked round to the side of the building to a white door. Tristan turned the handle but nothing happened.

"Must be locked," said Tea

"No, really?" said Tristan stepping back a pace and then raising a leg up, aimed a kick at the door which gave way immediately. Tea looked inside. They had opened a door into a long corridor. Tea reached in and felt for a light switch. Finding one she switched it on. The hall was immediately lit up.

"Keep quite and follow me" said Tea.

She started walking down the corridor. They had not gone more than ten yards when they came to a door on their right.

"Let's try this one," said Tristan turning the handle

"hey Yugi we're here" cried Tristan to the dark.

"Um, Tristan" said Tea

"Yeah" said Tristan still looking into the dark

"It's a broom cupboard," Tea said turning on a light revealing a mop and bucket.

"I knew that…" said Tristan straightening up and going red.

Tea sighed and closed the door. They carried on along the corridor till they came to another door on the right.

"I'll try this one," said Tea but the handle would not turn. So Tristan employed his earlier technique and kicked the door down. Tea reached round and turned a light on and the room was illuminated. It had blank white walls but in the middle was a familiar figure strapped to a chair.

"Yugi" cried Tea running over

"Tea, how did you find me?" said an overjoyed Yugi smiling a Tea and then helped by Tristan untied his bonds.

"Mokuba traced your duel disc and gave us a map" answered Tea helping Yugi up.

"Wow, I owe him a favour then," said Yugi.

"Let's get out of here" suggested Tristan. The other two nodded. Just then they heard footsteps coming down the corridor.

"Quick turn the light off" said Tristan "and close the door".

The footsteps stopped outside the now closed door and someone turned the handle. As the door opened and the person's head came into view, Tristan karate chopped the guy on the back of his neck knocking him out.

"Way to go Tristan" yelled Tea.

"SSHH!" cried Yugi and Tristan together and Tea clapped a hand over her mouth. They then ran down the hallway and out into the open air.

Back at his Grandpa's shop, Yugi sat back in the chair drinking his welcome cup of hot chocolate. His friends were all around him drinking hot chocolate as well. He had suffered an 'interrogation' from his grandpa, and then Joey, and gave a blow by blow account of his kidnapping. He couldn't understand why everyone was so interested. It was not that much of a big deal, and it would probably happen again but he appreciated their care. Better an over reaction he reasoned than no one caring at all. When everyone had finished their chocolate Joey, Tea, and Tristan said goodbye and went home. Yugi decided to stay up and watch the news then he went off to bed.

Yugi woke up early in the morning. Just as dawn was breaking. He could hear a few birds singing, but no cars. He had had a strange dream. It had been about the millennium items and their owners. He'd been thinking about what Shadi had told him about the items. He knew who had the millennium key, eye, ring, rod, necklace and of course the puzzle. But there were still a couple with mystery owners.

Near the end of the dream he could see the faces of the owners clearly but as it was coming to the millennium scales the face faded away and he woke up. He tried to remember the faces but they were slipping away like water in cupped hands and all he could remember was long blue hair. He drifted in and out of sleep for a while till his alarm clock rang then dressed and had a breakfast of Cornflakes and orange juice with his grandpa before setting of for school with Tea.

Later on after school, because it was now the summer holidays, he went to the arcade with Joey he arrived home late. But just in time to watch the duellist league results on the late night news. Not much had happened in the twenty-four hours he'd been missing, so he went to bed wondering what the new day would bring.

The next day Yugi decided to meet up with the gang and just hang around Domino City and see if there were any interesting duels going on. It was just after lunch and Yugi had wandered off on his own after Joey threatened to do his famous 'five burgers at the same time' trick, but he stayed in the area and was there to see Joey beat Espa Roba.

Seeing this made him realise that he'd better start thinking about duelling someone soon too.

"I wonder what Kaiba's got planned for the finalists of this tournament" he mused aloud.

"Do you always talk out loud?" said a voice from behind him.

Startled, Yugi swung round to the owner of the voice and standing in front of him was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Her hair was raven black drawn round in to a long plait draped over one shoulder and her eyes were the colour of the sky on a clear day. She wore a pair of blue denim jeans and a White blouse with a silver blue eyes white dragon sewn on the pocket. Slung over her arm was a black duffel coat. On her face she wore a cheeky smile.

"Sorry, I didn't think anyone else came up here," said Yugi tripping over his words

"I like watching the duels. I'm Nermia " said the girl stretching out her hand for a handshake

A/N Note to all readers. Nermia is read as ner-my-a. Just thought you'd like to know that.

"I'm Yugi Moto" said Yugi shaking hands

"Yeah I recognise you from the duellist kingdom tournament"

"Cool, were you a duellist there?" said Yugi

"No I just read the papers, but I am a duellist in this tournament" replied Nermia switching the duffel coat from one arm to the next revealing a duel disc.

"Wow, how long have you been duelling?" asked Yugi. But just as he asked his question he heard a door swing open and there was Mokuba there to arrest the Espa Roba's brothers. Yugi turned round again to Nermia but she was gone.

A/N I know I'm interrupting the story again, but I watched this series of Yu-gi- oh episodes last year and I do not remember them that well. So please forgive me if I "goof" up and put a conversation in when they're all supposed to be duelling or chased somewhere. If anyone wants to help me please, please, please tell me in a review. Thanks again, hope this makes things easier.

Later that week, after his duel with Arkana, Yugi was on his own again looking in Duke Devlin's game shop for any useful cards. Seeing no new ones he turned to leave, and that was when he bumped into her again. Literally.

"Hey, I'm sorry. My head up in the clouds as usual" apologised Yugi "Its nothing" replied (you guessed it) Nermia Yugi blushed scarlet. Seeing this Nermia decided to break the embarrassing silence.

"Now I've got you on you own, minus a rooftop, do you want to go get a cup of coffee?" Grateful for an excuse Yugi hastily accepted.

ooooooooooooooooooooooo

Okay I'm pleased with this chapter, I've moved the plot along and I didn't spend months doing it. Yay for me cheers from my adoring public (not sure where they are but I know they're there). Thanks again to my reviewers, you are the reason why every week in my I.T. lesson I sit down and type my story. Thank you. By the way do tell me if there's anyway that I can make the story better so you don't tear your hair out.
