Lily: -.-;; I'M TERRIBLY, IMMENSELY, GREATLY AND HUGELY SORRY for taking so long to update this... The reason was, as always, a problem with the plot. I must say that, taking a good look at what I had planned for this fic, it was really close to the original story. So that's REALLY a problem... But now I've been thinking seriously on it and decided to work harder on the parts that are different and develop a good plot for this story... I'm sorry for the inconvenience and I hope you guys don't give up on me...
Reviewers replies:
Pretenna - Wow, I did make you wait a big amount of time to answer your questions, didn't I? ^^U I'm sorry. I'm glad to know you liked last chapter, and don't worry, you won't be damned to read that one for all eternity anymore. The new chapter is HERE!! *parties*
Mel Gods - ^^ I told you I was not giving up on this fic!! Oh yeah, Kyou was REALLY mean to her hikari... That won't happen to Ryou, Bakura is ahh... more stabilized than Kyou. She's just plain insane (Marik style). He was tied up because he didn't agree with Bakura's plan and he knew too much to be left behind... *blinks* Oh and about the Pegasus thing *shrugs* You have a point there, maybe 4Kids changed it. But HEY, the weirdo reads silly comic books... of a cartoon that has more than 1000 episodes and that he's been watching since he was a little kid... There are big probabilities that he drank juice there. *sighs* Anyway... hmmm... I don't know if Yugi being Yami's idol will be relevant in the future... I just wanted to change something there. Usually Yami is the "greatest of all". Now it's Yugi's turn ^^ Weeeeeell, now you can read ^^U
Yami's Tenshi - Before anything, I hope you're reading this... Where are you?? ;_; I MISS YOU, GIRL!!! *glomps her* Oh, and you too Kerra!! ^^U *glomps her too* *sighs* Resuming to the reply... lol, you were on a trip and reviewed my story ^^ How sweet of you. And lol, you think every chapter has its importance?
Iris: Not when Lily is clueless about what she's gonna write...
Lily: *sweatdrops* Shut up, Iris... *ahem* Anyway.... ^^ *glomps her again* You have no idea how much your words mean to me!! Ne~~, now whenever I think some story of mine sucks, I remember your words and get all happy again!! ^^ Yami and Yugi are back in this chapter, by the way, so check them out!! *pouts* I'll be glad when you start giving a word out... I haven't received a word from you in ages O.o it isn't just about to review, it's just that I love your reviews and that it's my only way to speak to you T-T So I hope you come back at reviewing my stories soon. AND PLEASE UPDATE "Angel of Heaven, Guardian Dear"!!!!!!!!!! ;_; I wanna know what happens!!
Iris: *read those commentaries about comp problems* *walks away*
Lily: *raises an eyebrow*
Iris: *comes back with a baseball bat* ^^ I'll fix your monitor now!!
Lily: O_o IRIS, DON'T!!!!! *grabs the baseball bat and throws it faraway* What IS the problem with yamis and technology anyway?!?!?!?!
Iris: *pouts and kicks the monitor that is pink*
Lily: *sighs as she had already given up on that*
Iris: I am NOT writing my fics on that pink-screen!
Lily: Fine. It's not like you've been writing anything anyway.
Iris: You're monopolizing the computer!!
Lily: AM NOT!!
Lily&Iris: *continue to argue*
Ellian: *comes in and roll her eyes* Anyway Tenshi, Lily is waiting for any word from you, Tenshi, very soon. She saw the note in "The Past is present" and is sorry for not reviewing it yet... She'll soon, just wait. *laughs* Iris will continue her work soon, too, Lily just has too many ideas for her own good and writes too much, hence why Iris is never writing anything... Wait a lil more, and then, you'll have an update from her *laughs more* So Kerra is trying to improve her reviewing skills? Great!! Iris will be waiting for her review soon! ^_~ *waves* See ya!
Yume Takato - Hmm... things will be explained in this chapter, just read ^^
hobbit13 - Ne~, I'm seriously thinking on jumping off the nearest bridge... I am too confusing!! O.o or intriguing... Anyway, it's not that Bakura doesn't have the Ring.

Pretty... good chapter? *impressed* O_o Well, at least one of us thinks so ^^U lol, I have things planned for Pegasus, just wait. Here's the update! See? I gave all of myself to write it!! (with a little help from "Three Doors Down" ^^)

Chapter 3: Meaningful words

Yami was practically thrown inside a new room. This time, he had no window to look through. Taking a good look around, seeing as this room was a lot worse than the one he was just a few minutes ago, he had just one thought in his mind.
Kill Pegasus.
'If only I could just understand WHAT I'm doing here?' he thought angrily to himself, kicking a nearby chair, and breaking said object. He didn't care about it, just about the new pain in his foot now.
He crossed his arms and glared daggers at the door before realizing some voices from the room just beside his. He looked around and noticed that a door connected his room to the one where the noises were coming from, so he walked towards it.
It was locked.
He placed his ear on the wood surface and listened close to what was going on the other side.
"Wait here and don't try anything funny." He heard one of the guards say.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." A voice said with mock-innocence, and Yami recognized it right away. When he heard the door close, he knocked on the door to catch the other's attention.
"Yugi!" he called. He waited a few seconds in which he heard some footsteps before knocking on the door again. "Yugi, in here!" he called again, before someone tapped on the door from the other side.
"Yami?" he blinked a little before realizing that the other boy had probably heard his name from Pegasus and had memorized it. "Are you in there?" he asked, and Yami tried not to roll his eyes. Trying to control his temper.
"Yeah, it's me." he assured. He saw Yugi trying to open the door but being unable to. He sighed. "It's locked, Yugi." He said, and cursed silently to himself. Another thing he hated about Pegasus: how the doors in his castle were too resistant.
He sat down on the floor while he heard Yugi trying to open the door with various methods. None worked. Finally, he heard a sigh.
"What are we doing here?" Yami asked, contemplating the door. He heard another sigh.
"Pegasus wants us here. We're part of some strange plan of his... That I'm sure he doesn't know what he's dealing with." Yugi answered, but Yami frowned.
"What kind of plan? Why we?" he asked. Yugi remained silent for a moment before really answering.
"I don't know if you noticed... But both Pegasus and me have something in common. He has a strange golden eye instead of his left eye. And I have a golden pendant in the shape of a upside down pyramid." Yugi said, and Yami nodded, even though he could not see.
"I did." He said. Actually, how could he not notice Yugi's pendant? (A/N: lol, actually, I wondered for some time why nobody tried to steal it... Aside of Malik, of course).
"I-it has to do with them... Pegasus wants my pendant. H-he wants... its power..." Yugi said very slowly and hesitantly. Yami frowned again. Yugi wasn't making sense...
"I don't understand... What powers? What are you talking about?" he asked, and Yugi sighed heavily.
"You see... those items, that Pegasus and I have, are called Millenium Items. There are 7 in total, and it is said that each one of them have a different kind of power. Pegasus' eye, the Millenium Eye, for example, has the power to read minds." Yugi said and then went silent, waiting for the other one to take in all that information.
"Wait a minute... You're trying to tell me those things have magical powers?" Yami raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure Pegasus didn't give you something... hmmm suspicious, Mutou-san? You're... not making sense..." he said uncertainly.
On the other side, Yugi closed his eyes and fought back tears. Gods, Yami was so clueless... And he didn't even believe him. He couldn't blame him, now could he? It was not his fault he didn't know... He wasn't even supposed to be there... How did Pegasus find him? Yugi hugged his knees to his chest and buried his face between his arms.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me..." he whispered, and doubted Yami would even hear. But he did. Yami widened his eyes and felt really bad for the smaller boy's words. What was he doing, anyway?? He was calling the world's greatest duelist a liar? What was wrong with him?
'Ah no... You're not trying to convince yourself that that stuff he said was true just because you're his fan, are you?' he asked himself, but scolded himself for it too.
'Why would he try to lie to me? What would be the reason? We're both stuck here. Waiting for some gay guy in fancy clothes to... do whatever he's going to do with us. There's no use in fooling me...' he told himself, and sighed.
"Erm, Yugi-san?" he called.
"Hmm?" was the really silent reply he got. He tried to think of something to say, but couldn't bring himself to speak a word. He could try to assure the other boy he was not calling him a "liar", but also he didn't know how to convince himself that existed such powers as...
Wait a minute...
"Yugi-san..."
"Call me Yugi." Yami smiled.
"Yugi... What... power did you say Pegasus' item had?" he asked, and Yugi blinked.
"The power to read minds. Why?" he asked, a bit of hope in his heart. Yami was actually going to believe him?
"Could he have.. ah... used those powers in our duel?" Yami asked, frowning. How could he have forgotten? He had wondered this past week about how Pegasus seemed to know his every move, his every strategy, and knowing exactly how to counter and beat him. Yugi chuckled, and Yami raised an eyebrow.
"Not just he could have, but he probably used it. I don't know when Pegasus stopped being an honored duelist and gave up everything to the powers of his item. He can be the creator of Duel Monsters, yes, but he's not as good as before. He reads the opponent's mind to see the cards he has in his hand and what strategy he's going to use. Then, he counters accordingly." Yugi explained. "If he didn't have this power, I'm afraid he couldn't have beaten any of us."
Yami blushed. Had his idol just said he was a duelist as good as he was?
He let to be flattered later, because he thought about what Yugi had just said. He frowned, realizing it (impressively) made sense. He could have beaten Pegasus... But the guy just had the perfect card at the perfect time.
"Yugi..." Yami began. "What is Pegasus plan?"
Yugi smiled. Now Yami believed him. It was a plus.
"It doesn't really have to do with us. He has on his side people who are really after the power of my Millenium Puzzle." Yami raised an eyebrow, before coming to the conclusion he was talking about his pendant. "I suppose I know who they are... They also have Millenium Items. I don't know what kind of deal Pegasus has with them, but he'll ask something back from giving them my Puzzle, and its power." Yugi explained.
"But why me?" Yami asked, almost sounding whiny. Yugi sighed.
"It... has to do with the Puzzle's past." He answered, and Yami blinked.
"Excuse me?" he asked. "But what past?"
"It is said that the Pharaoh that had this Puzzle and controlled its power split his soul into two halves. Like that, nobody would be able to fully control the power of the Puzzle, the greater power amongst all the Millenium Items." Yugi explained. Yami raised an eyebrow.
"Are you trying to tell me you and me have both halves of said Pharaoh's soul?" he asked. Yugi hesitated.
"Y-yes, that's it." He answered. "I have the Puzzle... and you... You look remarkably like the Pharaoh. So you're his reincarnation." Yugi tried to explain, but Yami's mind was already in a whirlwind. It was too much information to comprehend, too many complex words. He had questions, but couldn't voice them. He had doubts... he couldn't believe...
Why he? Why?
[ To be continued... ]
Lily: There!! It could have been short, but I'm still thinking about the plot. I can't say much, but at what I'm reviewing about its plot, it's getting too close to the sequel to "Wings of ruby and amethyst's" plot. Okay, they're just similar here and there, but I don't want to risk having two stories with too similar plots... So you guys gotta be patient with me, onegai!! ^^U please review and I hope the next chapter will be up soon. Erm... yeah, I'm hoping...
