Yugi was laid on his stomach, out cold on the floor when Yami found him, "You can get through this one Yugi but next time you might not be so lucky," he told his silent partner as he picked him up and took him into his chamber, "you'll get stronger don't worry." Yami placed him on his bed and waited for him to stir but it was a long time before anything happened,"Y...Yami. Where am I?" Yugi managed to ask but very weakly as he opened his eyes,
"Somewhere safe, your body's alright it's just your mind,"
"What's wrong with ... me?" Yugi managed to say as he looked up at him,
"There's nothing wrong, it's just that you're exhausted and not used to that much pain, you'll get used to it don't worry. Get some rest, you'll need it for tonight," he told him as he put a damp cloth on his forehead to keep his fever down that he'd developed,
"Thanks again," Yugi replied before he closed his eyes again and lapsed into sleep.
It wasn't long before Yugi came round outside the pyramid, "Are you feeling better Yugi?" Téa asked him, "Yes I am thanks for asking. Should we get back to the hotel now?""Are you sure? I mean you just came round,"
"I'm sure," Yugi told them as he got up, "does anyone know what the time is?"
"It's 4:30pm,"
"We'd better get back then, Miss Avalon told us to be back for 5pm," Joey said as he saw Tristan go into his fantasy world involving her, "snap out of it," he whispered to him as he nudged him in the arm,
"Huh?" Tristan said before he noticed Yugi and Téa looking at him with a surprised face,
"Were you day dreaming?" Téa asked him,
"No," he replied before going red,
"Okay. Ready to head back everyone?"
"Yes," they told her before they started to run back to the hotel.
As they got closer to the hotel Joey noticed that someone was waiting outside, "Please don't Miss Avalon, please don't be Miss Avalon!" he started muttering under his breath. As they got nearer Joey noticed that it wasn't Miss Avalon, but instead Bakura,
"Hey Bakura what you doing here?" Téa asked him when they finally got to him,
"I'm here on holiday. I saw a few kids from school and I remembered that you guys were here too so I thought that I'd drop by see how you guys are,"
"We're fine, hey I got an idea. Why don't you come to see the pyramid with us tomorrow?" Yugi gestured, "Sure why not," Bakura accepted,
"Great now how we go inside and fill my stomach already?! I'm starving here!" Joey said sarcastically and walked inside. Tristan followed him while the rest of them stood there and watched them, "Hungry as ever," Bakura said after a while, "shall we meet at the pyramid itself,"
"Sure, it's the one near the Archaeological camp just up the road," Téa told him,
"What about the time?"
"How about just after lunch. 12:30pm," Yugi offered,
"Sure, no problem see you guys later. Bye,"
"Bye Bakura," they both called to him as he left,
"Now what are Tristan and Joey up to?" Yugi asked with a worried look on his face,
"Probably eating the hotel out of food, better check on them huh?" Téa told him before they both went inside to check on them.
The man that was stalking Yugi earlier was watching him again, but this time from a rooftop that had a clear view of the hotel front, "Soon ... soon your soul will be mine."
Yugi and Téa found the other two laid on their beds staring at the ceiling, "Do you know what we're doing tonight?" Tristan asked Joey,
"I don't know. Why don't you ask miss? And at the same time you can ask her out on a date," Joey joked, "Very funny," Tristan told him as he got up and went to punch him in the arm, as friends do,
"If you won't ask her I will," Téa told him,
"Go and ask her see if I care!"
"Alright then," and she walked out of the room and went in search of Miss Avalon,
"Hey wait for me!" Tristan shouted to her and ran out of the room,
"He won't change will he?" Yugi jokingly told Joey before they both burst into laughter.
"Erm Yugi..."
"What is it?"
"You know that when you came out of that pyramid, why did you pass out?" Joey awkwardly asked him,
"I don't know really," Yugi told him after a while, "I think it was the fact that I'm not used to that much pain and I ... you know passed out. Why?"
"Just wondering that's all,"
"Okay," Yugi replied as he walked out onto the balcony and gazed at the pyramid in the distance, 'what did that inscription mean? The one with the Millenium Puzzle will one day return to this land. It just doesn't make any sense to me,' he thought as the Millenium symbol appeared on his forehead, 'I feel like I've read it somewhere before but I haven't ... have I?'
"I'm gonna go downstairs for a while, to see what the other two are doing ok Yuge," Joey told him before he left the room, closing the door behind him. Yugi could hear Joey shouting to someone that he wanted the last coke from downstairs, making him laugh silently to himself before going over to his bed, laid on it and put the puzzle on the bedside table. He stared at the ceiling for a while before he felt his eyelids drooping and finally went to sleep.
Yugi dreamt that he was under the hot, blistering sun watching a pyramid being built. He quickly looked around to see if any of his friends were around, but they weren't. He started walking towards the pyramid against his will, realising that his legs were in control and it wasn't long before he saw a person sat on a raised platform in the shade of a palm tree with many people running to and fro from him.At this point Yugi started to get scared because of not knowing why he was here and being there with none of his friends. As soon as he regained control of his legs he stopped for a while, he looked down to see if the puzzle was there but to his surprise it wasn't but he was glad that he was wearing his normal clothes, 'Need ... shade ... fast,' he thought as he looked up at the sky to find that there wasn't any clouds to be found so he ran quickly to the raised platform, hoping that he would be able to find some shade there, luckily for him he did.
As he rested, he heard someone shouting orders at the top and he recognised the voice, 'Is that...' he thought before he climbed up the back of the platform. When he got to the top he walked to the side of the person who was sitting down. The person had similar style hair to him and he wore the Millenium Puzzle around his neck, 'It's him,' Yugi thought before fainting and falling backwards.
