YetAnotherDisclaimer: Ahem. Yu-Gi-Oh does not belong to me. Even though it
SHOULD, considering I was the queen of Egypt. Well, Takahashi-san?
Ha. Free time in the summer. That was a good one. I had to do this summer school thing (and it's summer school for intelligent students - I had physics and advanced algebra and stuff - I didn't fail regular school; I'm not stupid) and I had NO free time at all. So here I am again. It's been way longer than a month, but I'm back for another try.
Note - This part of the story takes place after Duelist Kingdom, but before Battle City.

"So, Yami," said Yugi thoughtfully, as he sat on his bed turning the Millennium Puzzle over in his hands, "you don't remember anything of your past?"
"Some scattered memories, when they choose to show themselves to me," said the spirit within Yugi's mind. He couldn't see the spirit of the pharaoh, but he knew that he was there, listening to him from within the walls of his soul room. (A/N: I've always thought that when it shows Yami transparent with Yugi, it means that he's not actually visible, his image is just there for the viewers' benefit. I don't know, I may be wrong.)
"What do you mean by 'when they choose to show themselves'?" Yugi wanted to learn as much about his yami's past as possible.
"I occasionally have visions, I see scenes that are most definitely from my life in Egypt, I just. . .can't seem to connect them. It's all so confusing." His voice was growing softer, as if this was hard for him to talk about. Yugi wondered what it must be like not to be able to recall what you had done in your entire life, to have no memory of how you had lived, who you had loved. He promised himself that he would help his aibou to discover any secrets of his past, no matter what.
The next day in school, Yugi was talking with Joey and Tristan as the class waited for the teacher to arrive. Tea, sadly, was not able to attend school, as she had a sore throat from too much preaching about friendship. (A/N: What, do you think I was going to put her in MY romance fic?) The door to the classroom opened slowly, and the students all scrambled to their seats before the teacher came in. But the person who walked in was not the teacher.
~ She walked to the center of the room, anxiously wringing her hands. . . ~
Yugi gasped a little. He had just seen something strange when he had looked at the new student, walking nervously into the classroom. Could it be one of the memories that Yami had told him about, just the previous night? He would have to ask him. But in the meantime. . .
"Class," said the teacher, who had walked in while Yugi puzzled over the vision, "This is Omukashino Adela, our new student." Yugi decided to make a point to talk to her.
At lunch time, Yugi held his Millennium Puzzle close, speaking to Yami out of the corner of his mouth, so as to not make the other students think he was weird, or at least, weirder than they already thought him.
"Yami, what was it that I saw when I looked at Adela?"
"I'm not sure, Yugi, but I feel as if I have seen her somewhere before. Other than in that memory. There is something about her. . ."
"Do you think she is connected to your past?"
"I don't know. . ." Yami faltered for a moment. "We should probably get to know her, to find out how she is a part of all this."
"You're right. . ." Yugi looked over at the table where Adela was sitting. "And maybe more will come of this than memories for you. . ."
"What do you mean, aibou?"
"Nothing, nothing." Yugi got up from the table. "Should I ask her to walk home with me today?"
Yami smiled to himself inside his soul room. His hikari was obviously eager for this, he sensed that there were other intentions than to talk of ancient Egypt. "Sure, Yugi. Go for it."
Yugi took a deep breath, as Yami's voice receded in his mind. He walked purposefully towards the table where Adela sat, surrounded by several other girls, of course. He walked up beside her. "Adela? My name's Mutou Yugi," he said shakily, as he glanced at the other girls. 'She sure does make friends fast,' he thought. "I was wondering if you'd like to. . .walk with me to my grandfather's game shop after school today." One of the girls in the group giggled, and Yugi glared at her. Adela however, merely smiled.
"Sure, Yugi. Sounds like fun."
Yugi sighed. "Great. Well. . .meet me in front of the school, then."
Yugi walked away, oblivious to the girls' continued giggling. He was helping Yami figure out his past and getting a. . .sort of a date out of it, all at the same time. 'It doesn't get much better than this,' he thought happily.
While within his soul room, Yami leaned back against the wall, almost smirking a bit. "You go, aibou," he murmured to himself.

I guess you can see that I prefer formal Japanese names. I don't know why. But it took me a while to decide on Adela's last name, and yes, I know Adela isn't Japanese. But her full name does have a meaning to it, and so does mine. ^_^ Read and review. Please! Onegai!
