Kai led the way outside, Yami close behind her. The rest of the gang backed away, leaving Yami and Kai in the center of the yard. They smiled at each other, then looked away, feeling heat rise into their faces.
"Um, right. So, first you have to change into Yugi," Kai said, running her hand through her hair.
Yami nodded as the Puzzle glowed. He seemed to have shrunk about two feet as she now looked down at Yugi.
"Hey, Kai," he said, attempting to smile. His heart wasn't completely in this and it was obvious. Kai felt slightly bad for him, knowing he had gotten to know Yami and was almost dependent on him. But she couldn't feel too guilty about it because her excitement at having Yami overwhelmed her.
"Hi. I don't think I've officially met you," she said, smiling warmly at him. She extended a hand and Yugi took it.
"Yeah, it's nice to meet you," he agreed. If there was anyone who he'd give Yami up to, Kai was it. It was destiny and Yugi couldn't get in the way.
"Well, the next step is you have to give me the Puzzle," she said. It felt so strange to be looking /down/ at him.
With a sigh, Yugi lifted the chain over his head, handing the artifact to Kai. - I guess this is goodbye, Yami. - He backed up with the rest of the gang, sadness in his heart.
- Okay, this is it, - Kai thought, staring at the Puzzle. She took a deep breath, cupping it in her hands. As she extended her arms, she closed her eyes. She cleared all thoughts from her mind, concentrating on nothing. A few seconds later, her Serpent began to glow.
The gang watched in shock as the engraved snake in Kai's pendant came to life, escaping from the necklace. The golden cobra traveled along her shoulder and began winding its way down her arm. She seemed oblivious to it as she stood motionless, her eyes shut.
A second later, the snake was winding around the Puzzle. Its head popped up over the top as if peering out over the Puzzle. When its tail finished attaching to the Millennium Item, a white light shot out from it, blinding the gang.
As Kai felt the Puzzle fly out of her hands, she opened her eyes, only to shield them with her hand against the light.
"What's goin' on?" Joey cried.
A moment later, the light was absorbed back into the Puzzle, which was hanging around Yami's neck. The cobra was still wound around it, its eyes a ruby red. The gang immediately looked over at Yugi to be sure there were two of them.
"I'm seein' double!" Joey exclaimed, looking back and forth between his friend and the Pharaoh.
Yami touched the Millennium Puzzle, looking up at Kai. His violet eyes showed distinct confusion and awe as he gazed at her. "The Puzzle, why is there a..."
"The cobra is what gives you your body. Your Millennium Puzzle holds your spirit. Together..." Kai said, waving her hand at him with a broad smile.
Yami smiled, turning towards the younger version of himself. Yugi just gave him a small smile and nodded discretely to Kai. The Pharaoh looked back at the redhead, his heart soaring. He walked up to her, running his hand through her hair gently. Then, with all the passion he had kept inside, he kissed her.
