Explanations

When they finally reached Ishizu´s and Miyu´s house Ishizu told Yami to bring Miyu to her room and showed him the way. Then she led the others to a big library. "Could you please wait here, till I treatened Miyu´s wounds? Of course you can read every book you want. I´ll hurry up, because there´re lots of things we need to talk about.",she said. The others nodded. Then Ishizu left the room and went for some bandages, water and some herbs. The others looked for some books, because nobody really knew what to say. Meanwhile Yami found Miyu´s room and entered it. It was absolutely dark in it, but somehow he could perfectly see everything. He laid her on the bed and looked for a light, but couldn´t find any swich. But then he found some candels and some matches and lightened the room. He looked at Miyu, who was still unconcious and blood was still coming out of her wounds. Yami couldn´t bear to see her like this. "And she only did this to save us, her friends. It´s almoust the same thing she did 5000 years ago, when she saved my life. I wish I could remember everything about her. I know that she was important to me back than and a part of me wants to be by her side. Does that mean, that we were in love in the acient times? This would explain the strange feeling I have when she´s near me.",Yami thought. Just then the door opened and Ishizu entered. "Thank you for bringing her here and I see that you´ve found everything to light up the room. So your powers are coming back.",she said as she laid everything she brought on a table next to Miyu´s bed. Then she took a picture from the table, which was in her way, gave it to Yami and asked: "Could you please lay it on the chair behind you? This picture is very important to Miyu and I don´t want to destroy it." Yami took the picture and looked at it. On it were two girls. One was Miyu and then there was anotherone with short brown hair.

"The other girl on the picture is Yukari, right?",he asked as he laid down the picture on the chair. Ishizu nodded and said: "Yes. I think you know what happened to her." This time it was Yami who nodded. "Miyu told us a lot. It must have been really hard for her to loose her best friend." "Definetly. And the worst thing is that she thinks, that it was her fault. I told her lots of times that it wasn´t, but she´s very stubborn and wouldn´t listen to me." "I think I should go to my friends now. But Ishizu, could you please explain what happened?" "Of course. When I finished this I´ll tell you and your friends everything. Besides, your friends are in the library. Just go downstairs and then to the corridor on your left. The library is the last door. I´m sure one of the books can really help you." And so Yami went to the library and Ishizu took care of Miyu´s wounds. When Yami entered the library his friends laid down the books they were reading and asked: "How´s she doing. Has she awoken yet?" Yami shook his head and said: "No, she´s still unconcious and she lost a lot of blood." "I just hope she´ll be alright.",Tea said. "I don´t understand why we shouldn´t take her to the hospital.",Joey said. "I think Ishizu had her reasons. And I´m sure she´ll tell us later.",Yugi said. "Yeah, and till then we´ll have to wait. But in a library time always goes by very fast.",Tea said and opened her book again and so did the others. Yami went to the desks with hundrets of books and looked at the titles. Most of them were historybooks, but there were lots of novels and other books as well. "It´s difficult to chose a book, if there´re so many, isn´t it? I was really surprised when we entered here.",Yugi said, put away his book and took out another. Yami just nodded and kept looking at the titles. Suddenly the last book caught his attention. It wasn´t really a book, but a file full of papers. He took it out and looked for a title, but there was no. So he opened it and saw lots of papyrus papers with hieroglyphes (sorry, if I wrote it wrong, but I don´t have any idea how to spell this stupid word) on it. At first they were only pictures for him, but then suddenly they made sense and he could understand them. "Niamis had finally given birth to a child. A son. And the Pharaoh and Niamis decided to call him Yami.",he read in mind. "That´s what Ishizu meant when she said, one of the books may help me. I can read what happened in my past life. I´m just wondering if that are just notes or a diary. For me it looks more like a diary, so I hope I´m allowed to read it.",he thought and sat down on the armchair in the corner of the room and began to read. Not loud, but in mind, so that the others couldn´t hear him. "I was so happy for Niamis, because she always told me that she wanted to have a son. And finally the gods made her wish come true. Tomorrow Niamis wanted to show me how her son looks like. I´m very curious." Then Yami took the next paper. "It´s really a diary. And I bet it´s Ishizu´s. So she knew my parents! I´ll ask her about them later.",he thought and went on reading, but the next page surprised him. "There´re lots of papers missing. This entry must have beed written years later." "Yami is nine now and he is very kind, handsome, strong, intelligent, but also very stubborn. He looks just like his father, but he has his mother´s eyes. I´m sure he´ll be a very good Pharaoh when the time has come. Niamis is often worried about him, because he runs away from the palace and comes home very late. I bet he´s going around the city. Two days ago I saw him with Shadi coming back from the desert. Shadi told me that he´s showing Yami the life in the desert and all the things Yami should know. I think it´s a very good idea, but I´m worried as well. Nobody knows what hides in the desert. For some time we´ve been attacked by some monsters. But our Pharaoh could destroy them with the help of his own monsters. He told me, that they were probably after the Millenium Items. So he decided to give them to some people to take care of them. Shadi got the Millenium scales and the Millenium key, the councellor the Millenium ring and the Millenium eye. I got the Millenium necklace and the Millenium staff to hide them in the temple. And the most powerful Item, the Millenium Puzzle was given to Yami. He should get it when he´s twelve. I just hope that nothing bad will happen, because I have a strange feeling." Than Yami took the next paper. "Strange things happened. Some days ago Niamis, Yami and I were walking down the nile, when Yami heard a strange melody and decided to follow it. Some time later he came back with a girl with brown hair and a chinese dress, who seemed familiar to me. Next to her was a white wolf. Later I found out why she seemed so familiar. She´s the daughter of an old friend of mine, Kikyo. She lives in China and is a temple maiden, just like me. We met when we were little girls, but I never forgot our friendship. I was very happy, when I got to know, that she has a daughter. And a very beautiful one. We took her to the temple where I took care of her, like if she was my own daughter. She told us, that her name´s Miyu and that she had to flee from China, because an evil force was after the Shikon jewel her family took care of. Kikyo told her to take the jewel and to run as far as she could. We still haven´t found out how she could come to Egypt. We asked her, but she can´t remember anything from her journey. She said she even didn´t remember leaving the forrest near her village. I´m sure the Shikon jewel has got something to do with it." Yami took the next paper even faster than the paper before. He wanted to know how the story went on. "A month has passed since Yami found Miyu. They became really close friends and you can always see them together. Yami shows Miyu the whole city and she tells him about her village back in China. The Pharaoh decided that it would be the best if Miyu stayed in Thebes, because here she and the Shikon jewel are safe. And he decided that I should be the one to take care of her. I´m so happy about that, because Miyu is like a daughter for me. Lots of people say, that Yami will marry Miyu when they´re old enough and the Pharaoh and Niamis agree to that as well. The problem is, nobody asked Yami and Miyu about this thing. The future will show, if they´re really meant for each other." "Yami and Miyu are twelve now and now the time has come to give Yami the Millenium Puzzle. I´m sure he´ll be careful with it. Now he´ll have to protect Egypt as well, because the owners of the Millenium Items can call out the monsters from the cards. Now it´s time for Yami to learn how to use them correctly. I´m sure he won´t like it very much, because he won´t be able to be outside all day long and he won´t be able to explore the desert with Shadi and Miyu. But he told me the only reason he doesn´t want to do that, is Miyu, because then they can´t spend so much time together. I´m not sure, but i think that our prince Yami is in love with Miyu. Miyu is a very talented and beautiful girl. She would be the perfect Queen for Egypt. She knows lots about herbs and magic and she´s very kind and understands everybody. And her wolf Inuki never leaves her side. But she has some more secrets." This was the last paper. "I wonder if there´re some more.",Yami thought. Suddenly the door opened and Ishizu entered. Yami closed the file immediately and put it on his old place agian. The others put away their books as well and then they sat down to hear what Ishizu would tell them. "Thank you for waiting. Miyu will be alright again, the wounds weren´t that bad.",she said. "What do you mean with, they weren´t that bad? She was slashed everywhere and she lost a lot of blood. Every normal person would have died.",Tristan said. "Well, Miyu is no normal person. You saw it with your own eyes. We were prepared for the monster´s apperiance, but I´m sorry, that you got involved into our first battle. I promise that I´ll take care that this won´t happen again." "Why did they want the shard? And why did they look for the Pharaoh? And how did Yami manage to destroy them all?",Serenety asked. "Well, they were looking for the shard from the Shikon jewel, because the shard grows the power of demons, but also the special powers of humans. If all the shards fall in the wrong hands it would be the end. The rightful owner of the jewel is Miyu. The jewel was broken in a battle and the shards scattered in different parts. Of course the demons went after them to get stronger. It´s Miyu´s mission to find all the shards and to turn them back into the jewel. And now to the thing with the Pharaoh. He´s the owner of the most powerful thing in the world: The Millenium puzzle. And the Pharaoh is the only one who can see which demon has a shard. So, if the demons can steal the puzzle they´ll be able to destroy the whole planet. But they need all the Millenium Items, if they really want to rule the world.",Ishizu told them. "And how much Millenium Items exist?",Tristan asked. "Seven: The Millenium scales, the Millenium ring, the Millenium eye, the Millenium staff, the Millenium key, the Millenium necklace and the Millenuim puzzle. And the owner of the puzzle and with that the Pharaoh is Yami. But somehow he has forgotten everything about the past and Miyu´s and my second mission is to help the Pharaoh to remember." "And where are the other Millenium Items?",Joey asked. "Well, Yami has the Millenium puzzle, I have the Millenium neckglace and if we find Shadi, we´ll find the Millenium scales and the Millenium key. But I don´t know where the others are, because they have been stolen from their rightful owners. But I bet that the evil forces have them. And we´ll have to get them back. That´s all I can tell you. I´m sure that there´re still lots of things you don´t understand, but this is a war you have no buisness with, so please, stay out of this.",Ishizu said in a stern voice. The others nodded. "I know enough. I just hope that nothing bad will happen to Yami and Miyu. Because when anything happens, then this war will be our buisness as well, because nobody is allowed to hurt our friends.",Tea said. Ishizu smiled and said: "Don´t worry Tea. The owners of the other Millenium Items and I swore with our life to protect the Pharaoh and Miyu knows how to defend herself. So everything will be alright." Then they had to go home, because it started to get dark. Yami was the last one who went out of the door, but Ishizu stopped him and asked: "May I ask you a favour Yami? It´s important." Yami turned around and said: "Sure." "I won´t be at home till tomorrow evening, because there´s a meeting where all the employers of the museums will have to take part in. And it´s in another city and I´ll have to leave in an hour. I wanted to ask you, if you could look after Miyu as long as I´m not at home. This would mean that you´ll have to stay here all night and I´m not sure if I´m allowed to ask you such a big favour." "I´m sure Yugi´s Grandpa won´t have anything against it. But in exchange you´ll have to answer some of my questions." Ishizu agreed and so Yami went to Yugi´s Grandpa and asked if he could stay at Ishizu house to look after Miyu and Yugi´s Grandpa agreed. So Yami went back to Ishizu. When he reached the house Ishizu wasn´t standing at the door anymore, but the door was open, so Yami entered and closed the door behind him. First he went to the library, but Ishizu wasn´t there. Then he went to Miyu´s room and there he found her. She had brought an sofa to Miyu´s room and a pillow and a blanket as well. "I hope this will be good enough for one night.",she said. Yami nodded and then he said: "Can I ask you now?" "Of course. I´ll try to answer every of your questions, my Pharaoh." "I read some papers in the library, which seemed to be your diary. I hope you aren´t angry." "No, I´m not. And you´re right, it is my diary. Better said, a part of it. The rest was destroyed by some demons. I still don´t know why." "You know my parents, right?" "Yes, I know them very good. For generations the women in my family worked as temple maiden. And your and my family have always been very good friends. Your mother and I were maiden as well." "How did you got to know my mother?" "Well, this might surprise you, but your mother is my sister." "WHAT? That means that you´re my aunt!",Yami said shocked. "Well, not exactly. Your mother is my halfsister. We have two different fathers. My father died when I was still a baby and my mother got married after this again and then Niamis, your mother was born. I really loved her, although she wasn´t my real sisier." "What happened to my parents?" "They were killed in a battle when you were fourteen.",Ishizu answered after a moment of silence. "They were killed by demons?" Ishizu nodded and said: "Yes. And from that day on you were Pharaoh. We all, Shadi, the counsellor´s son, who got counsellor afterwards, because his father was killed as well and Miyu were by your side to comfort you and somehow you accepted the situation. Miyu was the one who helped you most, because she exactly knew what it meant to lose the parents in a battle. This accident made your friendship even closer. Better said, you fell in love after some time. Your mother would have been very happy, if she could see this." "So Miyu and I were in love?" "Yes, it was very hard for her when she heard that you forgot everything. She cried almoust all night long. She´s acting like if everything´s alright, but deep inside she´s so sad that you´ve forgotten her." "Iâ€Somehow I knew that I loved her. And somehow I still do. My feelings for her didn´t change. Only the memory about the things we did and said is gone. But it´s returning and I´m sure that I will remember completely very soon.",Yami said looking at Miyu. Ishizu nodded and said: "I believe so. But now I have to go. You may go around the house and do what you want. And you can be sure that no demons will attack this house, because with the help of the Millenium Necklace and Miyu´s shard we´ve created a force field which protects us. But now I´m late. And thank you again my Pharaoh for looking after Miyu. And" "You should stop thanking me and go, or otherwise you´ll be really late.",Yami said and with that Ishizu went away. Now he was alone with Miyu, his pastlove.
