"This is talking"
'These are thoughts'
"Yujhi? Hello? Can you hear me?"
Yujhi groaned and opened his eyes weakly. He had to blink a few times to clear his vision, but soon the room came into focus. He was in his own room, and Joe was kneeling next to his bed with his Duel Monsters cards. "Hey buddy, what happened to you?" Joe asked as he sat up on the bed. He looked at Yujhi with confusion. "What were you doin' just lying in the street?"
Closing his eyes, Yujhi tried to gather his strength, before sitting up quickly. He felt a hand on his shoulder, stopping him from getting up, and looked up at Joe. "Let me go." He said in a threatening voice.
Joe seemed surprised at Yujhi, but shook his head. "We don't even know what happened to you, your not going anywhere until your better."
"But that guy stole my Millennium Puzzle!" Yujhi protested, growling as Joe explained it was just 'a stupid necklace that can be replaced'. "It's much more then that Joe! You just don't understand..." He hit his friends hand away and stood up, tripping slightly but quickly gaining balance by widening his stance.
"Yujhi..." Joe stood up and placed a hand on Yujhi's shoulder. "If it's that important to you... I'll help. But you need to explain what this is all about first." He sat Yujhi down into a chair and pulled one up for himself, sitting backwards on it. "Ok, start talkin'."
Yujhi sighed and closed his eyes. How was he supposed to explain this without sounding crazy? "Oh well... here goes..." He opened his eyes and looked up. "Well, you see..."
Looking around him, Yugi was surprised to see so many toys around. There were video games, stuffed animals, toy cars... it reminded him of something, besides a kids play room. It felt, like somewhere he belonged. But what could that mean? Ignoring the feeling, his gaze landed on a large metal door in front of him. Being as curious as he was, he walked forward and pulled the door open.
It led into a corridor, much like the one between his soul room and Yujhi's. Wait... had be been in Yujhi's soul room? No way, Yujhi's soul room had much more technology, and not so many kids toys. Then, where was he?
He walked to the door opposite the soul room he had just been in and looked at it. It had the Millennium Symbol on it, but was no different to the other same for that. Opening the door, he gasped when his gaze fell upon that of a soul room, mirroring his own.
He walked in cautiously, his eyes scanning the shadows for any sign of friend or foe. He stopped and looked up, taking in the image. It was so like his own soul room... but it didn't feel like it. Who else had a mind as confused and as questioning as his?
Climbing stairs, but not daring to open any doors, Yugi travelled deeper into the soul room. He had a strange feeling that, the closer he drew to the centre, the stronger he felt. Again, he had no idea what was going on, or why he felt like this, but he didn't care. The feeling edged him on, forcing him to keep going.
Finally, he reached the centre of the maze, but was confused by what he say. There seemed to be a huge glowing orb of light, around five times his height in ratio, with baseball sized small orbs floating around it. He was in the heart of this souls mind... in this souls memories.
Walking towards the orb, he watched a few small ones float by, before reaching out and letting one fall into his hand. It turned red on contact... a painful memory. Placing his other hand on it also to get a better grip, he pulled it away from the larger orb and took a few steps back. Why he was doing this he didn't know, but he opened his hands and looked at the orb, which showed one of the souls memories. He could see someone inside it, and lean a little closer to it, then gasped.
It was him! Whoever's memory this was, they had known Yugi before. Before he'd been trapped in the Millennium Puzzle! Sitting down on the floor, he gripped the orb tight as the voices of the memory echoed in his mind and he looked at the picture, which was from the view of the memories owner. Whoever this was, they were hugging him, and he was crying into them. He watched himself pull away and look the person in the eye, slightly scaring himself at the seriousness of his expression. He heard his own voice echo in his mind.
"Don't guilt yourself on another's fault... remember that. And also remember this... you were the best friend I've ever had..."
Yugi watched on. This was when he had been trapped inside the Puzzle... but who was this? Who had been Yugi's best friend? He cringed as the persons vision blurred with tears as they shook the limp for of... well... him. He suddenly blinked in confusion as the picture faded to white, then exploded into a million pieces, travelling like dust back to the central orb before reforming.
It hurt. While watching the memory, he felt all the emotional pain of the memory holder, and his feelings were mixed. Fear, shock... and a broken heart. Yugi could feel his own eye's tearing up, but quickly gathered himself. He had to find out who this person was, they may be the link to his past.
But suddenly, a sharp pain erupted inside him, and he was awoken from his dream.
Yugi's eyes opened slowly as Bakura cut off the magical energy it was after using like a blade to stab Yugi, but leave no mark. The playfulness in Bakura's voice made Yugi feel sick with hatred. He growled angrily, and spoke in a threatening voice. "Bakura..."
Bakura blinked in confusion as he looked at Yugi. They were in the Millennium Puzzle, which Bakura had magically connected to the Millennium Ring, but he had done a little... decorating.
Bakura had brought the Shadow Realm to the item, replacing Yugi's soul room. Yugi was shackled, and hanging about two feet from the ground by his wrists. "Who do you know my name? I thought you'd lost your memory."
Yugi blinked. Who did he know Bakura's name? He hadn't known it when they met, nor during the Shadow Game. "I... I don't know..."
Bakura smirked and shook his head. "Still confused, eh Yugi? I knew you in a past lifetime. We were rival, enemies, you and your pathetic friends. Some many times I came close to claiming your puzzle, but ever time-"
"Whoa man! Where'd you get this cool movin' wallpaper?"
Bakura cringed. "Not him... not now..." He mumbled to himself, glaring back at his hikari. "Do you mind?! I'm trying to work over here!"
Ryoura was staring at the swirls of the Shadow Realm, seemingly not listening. "It's like... some sorta larva lamp... Awesome!" He turned to Bakura and clasped his hard together. "You gotta tell me how ya did it man, please?"
"Look, I'm-"
"Pleeeeeease," Ryoura begged, getting down on his knees and trying to looked pathetic, much to Bakura's frustration. "Pleasepleasepleasepleeeease!"
"Shut up!" Bakura yelled.
Ryoura grinned and placed his hands on the floor, jumping back to his feet. "Nah-ha, just kiddin' man. This stuff is way to 'whoa!' for my taste." He walked over to Bakura and put his arm around his shoulders, hanging off him. "Yo, check this out, right? I was walkin' home, right? And was talkin' to Yujhi, when BAM! I ended up in some weird room full of video games. Ain't that freaky?!" He laughed at Bakura's annoyed expression. He knew the room was his soul room, he just loved to annoy Bakura. His laugh feel short as he caught sight of Yugi, who was looking feverish in his attempt to stay conscious. "Who's that?" Ryoura asked Bakura, jerking a thumb at Yugi.
"He's an escaped metal patient, he likes to be hung from walls." Bakura said in an annoyed and obviously sarcastic tone.
"Really? Spookay... that's a weird hobby if I've even seen one." Ryoura said, scratching the back of his head. "Meh, I'm gonna go order somit to eat. I think I'll have..."
Bakura looked up and whispered to himself. "Don't say it..."
"Pizza!" Ryoura cheered, running out of the room while ignoring Bakura's groan of protest. Bakura shook his head. He was fed up of pizza! Looking up at Yugi, he frowned. "Well, now that Ryoura has put me in a bad mood, I'll have to take it out on you, won't I?" He opened his hand as a whip of magic appeared in his hand. He grinned and raised it.
Yugi closed his eyes tight as he received his first burning sensation of his torture.
