jewel: You should know by now.

Yami: oh, right. That you sleep with your stuffed dog at night instead of me?

Pjewel: Shut up! That's a secret!

Yami: Where did the others go?

Pjewel: To see KH4ever's sugar collection. Yami: how...interesting... PJewel: You're telling' me. Who knew that sugar could turn 5 different shades of red?!

Yami: yeah ok. So Pharaoh'sJewel does not own YuGiOh because if she did then I would be her slave and that wouldn't be right because I'm royalty.

Pjewel: Oh please. Whatever. PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!

"What's going on?" asked Tristan. "The thing just...burst into flames!"

"Yeah..." said Joey thoughtfully. "Umiko, is this supposed to happen?"

Umiko nodded sadly. She felt so mixed up right now. For many years, she had been looking for her brother. Then after the long search, she found him and couldn't be anymore happier.

Tears came to Umiko's eyes. She had only stayed with her brother for only a couple of months and then he was gone. Gone...gone...that's all she could think about. Gone. 'It's done.' She thought letting her tears fall. 'Yugi's gone and he's not coming back.' The realization of this created great pain in her heart. More and more tears fell and she didn't bother to wipe them away. She hugged herself. 'If only I could have done something to help.' She thought. Then she felt a comforting arm around her shoulders.

"Umiko, are you okay?" asked Ryushi quietly.

"No." she lied hiccupping. "N...no, I'll never be okay."

"Yes you will. You'll feel better about it soon, Miko."

Umiko thought for a moment... 'Miko...where have I heard it before?'

.....................................Flashback.......... Ages: Umiko: 5 Yugi: 7

"Yugi! Play wif me!" said Umiko.

"I don't want to play, Miko." Grumbled Yugi playing with cars.

"Pwease? I wanna be a Pwincess!"

"Fine, fine," he said. "But what am I?"

"You?" asked the little child thinking hard. "How about donkey? You make good donkey."

"A donkey? Do you know what the other name for a donkey is?"

"Um...I dunno."

"Never mind, but do I still have to be a donkey?"

"Um...you can be... servant! Servant Yugi! And I, Pwincess Umiko, will pay you 50 cents a day! I'm vewy generous!"

"How about 50 dollars?" asked Yugi hopefully.

Umiko stared at him with those penetrating eyes. Then she threw back her head and laughed.

"Miko? Are you okay?" asked Yugi with a smile spreading over his face. Then Umiko's infectious laugh had him laughing too. Then all of a sudden, she stopped and said,

"I may be small, but I'm not ignorant. 50 cents it stays."

"Wait!" Yugi said. "I know what I can be!" he started advancing toward her. (a/n: do NOT take that the wrong way!)

"What?"

"Tickle Monster!!" he yelled tickling her. The little girl laughed hard and kicked his face with her sneaker, but Yugi didn't let up.

"Yu...Yugi! S...stop I can't ...breathe!"

Yugi finally stopped and started laughing.

..................End Flashback...................

Umiko smiled slightly at this precious memory. 'Of course,' she thought. 'Yugi used to call me Miko. It was...his nick name for me.' Then tears flowed down her cheeks once more.

How was chapter 21-part one? I thought it was quite good for one day. Not to fear! Part 2 will be here soon! I even started it. I was originally going to have just one chap. 21, but why rush things? I want to get as many reviews as possible. Consider it punishment for those ppl who didn't review. Hmph. I can't believe I only got TWO reviews for this chapter. TWO!!! That's a pathetic excuse...GO REVIEW TWICE IF YOU HAVE TO! I WANT MORE!!! Sigh. Anyways, review and your part 2 will come soon. Then after the serious things, chapter 22 will be to loosen you up and take a sigh of relief. Yup. So remember...YUGIOH PLUSHIES AVAILABLE NOW! REVIEW TO SAY WHO YOU WANT...ONE PLUSHY PER REVIEWER!! UNLESS YOU'RE NICE! BUT IF YOU WANT TWO, JUST SAY SO.

To Master Ruby: To my crazy, yet loyal best friend...me? Vacation? I wish! Thanks, I guess, for the weird compliment. Heck, I don't even remember what it was so if it does not apply to you, kindly forget it and imagine that that sentence says "Seto Kaiba (the idiot...oops) loves you a lot and wishes to marry you." You're pleased...I know it. LOL! What about blushing? That too! Yes, I am as crazy as ever. LOL! Was I ever crazy? I dunno. Also um...hi. (LOL!) Oh. I bet I know which plushie you're choosing. Hm...take a wild guess!!

To Chi Yagami: Your reviews are short but appreciated! Did I make you feel good or bad? Maybe both? Whatever. So... you know what I just realized? I don't even know you! Did I ever think of that? No! LOL! All my reviewers that I don't know are my friends! At least, I consider them as friends. What about you?

Plushies! Don't forget the plushies!! Lol!
