Traumatic Memorys and the apperiance of the shards

The next day Yami, Yugi, Tea, Serenety, Joey, Tristan and Miyu met in front of the Gameshop. The gang wanted to show Miyu the whole town. "So, where would you like to go first?",Joey asked. "Well, I don´t know the city, so I can´t say where I want to go. But is there a park here? In my old town I went to the Park every weekend.",Miyu said. "Of course we have a park here in Domino City. And a very big and beautiful one. Let´s go there. You´ve got to know Miyu, I go to the park every weekend as well. You can be close to nature and you can meet so many people there.",Joey lied. "He just can´t stop flirting with her.",Tea said to the others and then she said to Miyu: "Don´t believe him. He never was in the park. He always hangs around in Game Centers or he´s dueling." "How do you want to know, that I´ve never been in the park?",Joey asked angry. "Because if you went to the park every weekend, like you said, then you would know, that we had to turn left at the crossroad we just passed.",Tea answered. "Yeah, when we follow this way, we´ll get to the Duel Center.",Tristan said. "Hey, what would you think about a duel, friends?",Joey asked to change the subject. "But Joey, we were here to show Miyu the city and not to duel!",Yugi protested. "I don´t have anything against a little duel. But only if I can battle against Yami.",Miyu said with a mysterious smile. "You play Duel Monsters as well?",Serenety asked. Miyu nodded and asked: "Well, who doesn´t?" and then she turned to Yami: "Do you accept?" "It´s always interesting to have a new challenge. And I´m curious how good you are." And so they went to the Duel Center. There they rented a battle-hall for an hour. The first match was Yugi against Joey and of course Yugi won. The second match was Serenety against Tea. This match took a lot of time, because both were just beginners and so they needed a lot of time for their moves. At the end Tea won. And then it was Yami´s and Miyu´s turn. "Are you sure that you want to battle against Yami? You should know, that he´s the best.",Tea asked Miyu. "Don´t worry. I heard that he won against Pegasus, but that doesn´t mean anything. I´m sure that I have a good chance to beat him.",she answered. "And what makes you so sure about that?",Yami asked after they took their positions.

"My experiences from the past. I know your deck and I know your way to duel. And I don´t think that it has changed.",Miyu answered. And then the match started. It was really hard. At first it looked like if Yami was winning, but then everything changed. Miyu played one trap and magic card after another and she called out lots of powerful monsters. Both had only 200 lifepoints left. "I´ve no chance when I don´t call out the Dark Magician.",Yami thought. "I bet you´re going to call out your Dark Magician, your favourite card.",Miyu said. "You´re right. And this monster will be your end.",Yami said and called out his Dark Magician in attack-position. And Miyu´s only card on the field was the Gemini Elf, but then she activated her Swords of light and the Dark Magician couldn´t attack. "Now, after you showed me your favourite monster, I´m going to show you mine. I sacrifice my Gemini Elf and call out my Firewing Pegasus. But he´s still too weak with his 2250 attack-points to beat your Dark Magician. That´s why I give him the Horn of Unicorn and with that 700 more attack-points.",Miyu said and placed all the cards. Then she said: "And now attack Firewing Pegasus!" And her Firewing Pegasus attacked the Dark Magician, who disappeared immediately and Yami´s last lifepoints as well. "Now, how was that?",Miyu asked. "I have to congratulate you. I´ve never met such a good duelant as you´re. Who thaught you to battle that way?",Yami asked. She looked deeply in his eyes. "I´ll answer you this question later.",she said. "Why not now?",Tristan asked, but Yami understood. "Because now I´m hungry. Such a duel is very hard and it always makes me hungry. Do you know a good place where we could eat something?",Miyu asked. "Yeah, I know one. Let´s go to Burger World!",Joey said. "I have bad memorys with this place.",Tea said. (Everybody who knows the Manga knows what I mean, or better said, what Tea means) "Oh, come on Tea, Burger World is the place where we got to know each other better. So it´s a good place to get to know Miyu better.",Joey said. Tea agreed and so they went to Burger World. There they sat down at the table and ordered something to eat. "And now, tell us something about yourself, Miyu.",Joey said. "What should I tell you?",Miyu asked. "Maybe your favourite color, your favourite animal, things like that.",Serenety said. "Okay, my favourite color isâ€hmmâ€that´s difficultâ€but I think it´s black. And my favourite animals are wolves.",Miyu told the others. "What about the town you´ve lived in before. Was it big or small, like Domino City? Did you have many friends?",Tea asked. Suddenly Miyu´s face changed from happy to very, very sad. A memory of her old friend Yukari came to her mind.

They have been such good friends and then†Tears began to glister in Miyu´s eyes. "Did I ask anything wrong?",Tea asked. Miyu shook her head and said: "No, everything´s alright. I just remembered my old friend Yukari. We went to the same school and she was my only friend. But then" She couldn´t go on, because she bursted into tears. That shocked the others. "Miyu, what´s wrong?",Yugi asked. "Has it got anything to do with Yukari? Don´t worry, you have lots of friends here. We´ll be always by your side.",Tea said. "Thank you, Tea. You´re exactly like Yukari. She said exactly the same thing. She promised me, that we´ll always be together and she gave me an amulet as a symbol of our friendship. She had exactly the same amulet. We always had it with us and we didn´t care, that we hadn´t any other friends. We were always together as promised, but then, but then†It was all my fault. If I hadn´t agreed to our friendship this wouldn´t have happened. I can never forgive myself what I´ve done.",Miyu said and still tears were running down her cheeks. "I´m really happy, that you want to become my friends, but it would be better for you, if you wouldn´t. I don´t want the same thing happen to you that happened to Yukari.",she added. "But what exactly happened to Yukari?",Serenety asked. "Well, she" "You know what Miyu? I don´t want to know what happened to Yukari. I want to become your friend and fullstop. I don´t care what happened in the past. And I can´t believe that it would be better not to be your friend. You´re a really nice girl and I like you. And Joey even has a crush on you. So stop telling such stupid things and accept our friendship. And I promise, that it won´t happen anything to us. So, don´t worry.",Tea said. Miyu looked at her wide-eyed and nodded. "Okay, maybe you´re right." "I never thought that she could be this emotional. Well, I didn´t know what happened before she moved to Domino. But I think that it was something really bad. And somehow I feel sorry for her. Maybe Miyu isn´t that crazy. I just have to get to know her a little bit better. And besides, she´s the only one who can help me to get my memory back. At first I didn´t really want to have it back. But now, the more I think about it, the more curious I get. Or maybe I just want to find out more about Miyu? Somehow I feel, that she played a very important and special role in my past live†I should stop thinking like that. It sounds like if I´m in love.",Yami thought. Suddenly all the windows in Burger World scattered and lots of demons entered, which looked like blue shadows. "Ahhhhhhhh! What´s that?",Serenety shouted. "I don´t know, but it doesn´t look good.",Joey said. "Damn, I knew they would appear. But where is the one with the shard? I´ve got to find the one with the shard. If Yami could remember he could use his powers to find it, but this way I have to kill every demon till I find the one with the shard.",Miyu thought and her face turned angry. "I bet these are the things Miyu was talking about. But I still don´t remember anyting. I´m just feeling like in a horrorfilm.",Yami thought.

"Come on guys, we´ve got to run away!",Tristan shouted. "No, sit down. They would run after you and kill you immediately. Let´s see what they want.",Miyu said, but she exactly knew what they were here for. "Where is the Pharaoh? We know that he´s here. And we know that there´s another shard here. So come out. Or we´ll kill everyone in this place!" Yami looked at Miyu, who just shook her head and Yami understood. Then suddenly Miyu did something Yami didn´t expect her to do. She took out a red shard and shouted: "The Pharaoh isn´t here! But are you looking for this?" The demons turned to her. "There´s a shard. Go and get it from this girl!",one of the demons shouted. Miyu smiled. "Now I know who´s the boss and I bet he´s the one with the Shikon shard.",she thought. "Do you really think I´m going to give you this shard without fighting?",she asked the demons and then she closed her eyes. The shard and then her whole body started to glow. The red light filled the whole room and everybody had got to close their eyes. After the light disappeared Miyu didn´t wear her normal clothes, but a chinese dress. "It´s the same dress she had in my dreams.",Yami thought.

"But that can´t be! It can´t be you! I thought you were killed by Marik 5000 years ago, when you jumped in front of the Pharaoh after Marik attacked him to save his life. You died back then!",one of the demons shouted. "She saved my life 5000 years ago?",Yami thought and again a memory crossed his mind, but this time it was more clear.

-Yami´s memory-

He saw a desert and and a ruin of an old temple. He saw a man with an evil face who was standing on a big boulder and was laughing. Suddenly he disappeared. And he saw himself kneeling on the ground and holding Miyu´s body. She was breathing heavyly and her whole stomach was full of blood and her arms and legs as well. She had her eyes almoust closed. He heard her say: "I´m sorry Yami." And he heard himslef saying: "No Miyu, please don´t die! I don´t want to lose you!. There´re so many things I´ve got to tell you!" "I promise I´ll never leave you.",he heard her answer before she closed her eyes.

-End of Yami´s memory-

When Yami snapped out of his thoughts he saw Miyu fighting with the demons. She was using fireballs to kill them. "Where´s the one with the shard? I lost him.",Yami heard her say. "Shard? Does she mean the same shard which she has?",Yami thought. He looked around and suddenly he saw a red light glowing in the demon´s body. He noticed immediately that this was the shard Miyu was looking for. "Hey, Miyu! The demon who´s standing at the table next to the door has the shard!",he shouted. Miyu couldn´t belive what she heard. "He can see the shards! Finally he starts to remember.",she thought happyly and ran towards the demon Yami showed her. But then one of the demons took Tea and shouted: "Don´t you dare to touch our boss! If you do, I´ll kill her!" "Oh no! Tea!",the others shouted. Miyu bit her lip. "Okay and now we´ll attack you and you´re not allowed to run away or to defend yourself. If you do, your friend will get hurt.",the demon said. "Miyu, you´ve got to defend yourself, or they´ll kill you! And after they killed you, they´ll kill all of us! So don´t listen to them! Better one sacrifice than thousand!",Tea shouted. "I´m sorry Tea, but I won´t do the same mistake twice. Yukari said exactly the same, but back then I was so stupid to listen to her. That´s how I lost her. A moster killed her, because I listened to what she said. The pain from losing my best friend still remains in my heart and the pictures of seeing her die still appears in my dreams. I don´t want this to happen again. So I won´t move.",Miyu said in a stern voice. "Something like that happened back in Egypt, but I can´t remember it exactly.",Yami thought. Suddenly all the remaining demons attacked Miyu, but she didn´t move. They slashed her arms, her legs and her stomach. That was enough for Yami. "Stop that right now!",he shouted and suddenly a light flew out of the Millenuim puzzle and all the monsters disappeared. "Thank Ra, his powers are back. The Pharaoh will return soon.",were the last thoughts Miyu had before she fainted. Yami ran to her side and called out her name, but she didn´t answer. "We´ve got to take her to a hospital.",Yugi said. Suddenly Ishizu appeared. "No, don´t take her to the hospital. I´ll take her home.",she said. Then she looked at all the people in the area and said some words in the old egyptian language, which made all the people forget that they saw Yami, Miyu and the others in this place. After that she said: "I´ll go home now." She wanted to lift Miyu up, but Yami was faster. "I´ll take her.",was all he said. And so they went home.
