~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alyssa collapsed and immediately started sobbing. Yami quickly wrapped her in the comforter from the bed, figuring that Alyssa would not like the feeling of their bare skin touching at the moment. Then he pulled her into his lap, giving her a gentle hug and letting her cry it out on his bare chest. Yami whispered comfort in her ear while rubbing her back soothingly through the blanket. Past experiences of Alyssa under extreme pressure or trauma proved this to be the best calming method.

"Shhh... it'll be ok... Shhh...it's alright," Yami whispered in Alyssa ear. Eventually Alyssa's bawling quieted into hiccups and sniffs. "Are you going to be ok?"

"Maybe, b-but not right now." Alyssa sighed. "That," Alyssa couldn't bring herself to voice what had almost happened. "Was the most horrifying experience of my life." She shuddered.

"What? Am I that bad?" Yami joked, trying to lighten the mood. Alyssa's look that promised death if he ever said something like that again told him Alyssa was not in her usual carefree mood.

"It was terrible," the waterworks started again. "I was tr-trapped in my own mind, not able to-to control any of my o-own mind, not able to con-trol my actions. I was screaming, pleading, begging for you to st-stop, but couldn't hear me. Knowing... what's going o-on, .... but not being able to affect wh-aat's happening left me feeling so, so pow-powerless and helpless. Please don't ever do something like that again, even if I seem to- to want I-it."

"I promise," Yami agreed, settling in with Alyssa's no nonsense mood. "Do you want to go to sleep now?"

"Yea-yes just turn around so I-I can get dressed. After Alyssa had gotten into her pajama's with long sleeves and long pants, despite the warm weather, and Yami had replaced his discarded shirt, they climbed into bed.

As usual Yami slipped his arms around Alyssa, but she obviously didn't want that right now. Alyssa tensed, squeaked and jerked away from Yami as soon as his arms went around her.

"S-sorry. I'm just not comfortable with that right now, because of well... you know. But you being there for me is comforting to me still. I'm just not ready to accept much physical contact at the moment." With that Alyssa lay back down, barely touching Yami close enough to feel his body heat radiating towards her. Content for the moment and exhausted from the strain fo fighting off Marik, Alyssa fell asleep.

Unfortunately for him, Yami could not follow her to dreamland that easily. His mind forced him to mull over the night's events. /Sigh, that could have ended so wrongly./ Glancing over at Alyssa, Yami felt a wave of remorse wash over him from what he had almost taken away from her- her innocence. /Even though Alyssa doesn't blame me for what happened tonight, I still feel so guilty. Like I should be shot or mangled or have something else horrible happen to me. Maybe castrated would be best, no wait, anything but that. This weight is undoubtably going to weigh heavily on my shoulders for a long time. Stupid teenage hormones. You would think that I would have outgrown them after 5000 years, but noooo... I get stuck having uncontrollable hormones for another couple of years. But then, if I had aged, I would hate to think of what my body would look like... eww!/ Still feeling like a rapist, Yami fell into a fitful sleep.

~~~~~Yami's dream~~~~**Yami's Point of View**

/Ahh...back in the throne room/ I thought, looking around at my surroundings. Odd that I haven't had a memory dream since coming to Florida and even before then most of them had been reruns from the memories I've already gained. I hope this one's new! Oh well I better stop thinking so much and pay attention to what's going on.

Snapping out of my deep thinking, I took in my surroundings. The usual gleaming marble, plush purple or royal blue cushions, the guards, the soldiers dragging in a young brunette greeting me. Wait a second, soldiers dragging in a young girl?! I don't remember that. A new memory, yes!

"Pharaoh," the soldiers bowed, dragging the young girl down with them. She reluctantly dropped to the floor to honor her ruler. "We found her stealing in the marketplace from Mrs. Mazaki, the fruit vender and young Anzu's mother.

"B-but I was go-going to pay her back," the girl shyly mumbled.

"Yeah right, with what money," the guard sneered, pulling the young girl off the floor by her hair, causing her to yelp in extreme pain. Her eyes started to tear over from the guard yanking on her scalp.

"What is your name girl," the old me or Yugioh, as I used to be called, snapped at the brunette.

"Alisa, sir," the young female mumbled, keeping her head bowed.

"Speak up when your king asks you a question," Yugioh hissed. I wanted to strangle the old me for treating the girl as he/me was. I had a sneaking suspicion about who exactly she was when she was reincarnated...

"Alisa," Alisa said, louder this time, looking up. I could tell Yugioh was startled and ensnared by her eyes. The interesting combination of bright jade green and chocolate brown had captured my attention in the future me too. I now had no question as to who she was in my time.

/Sexy/ I could hear the old me think. "Take her to me chambers," Yugioh ordered. What was on his mind was obvious to all. I was horrified! In the past had I... I...?

"B-but Pharaoh...," Alisa protested as she was being dragged away, struggling. "I am but 13 years old. By the law set by your father, slaves," she blushed. "Er... pleasure slaves must be at least 15," Alisa hurriedly pointed out.

/Curse my father!/ Again I could hear Yugioh's thoughts. Although, some of the more lustful ones I wish I could have blocked out.

"Fine," Yugioh venomently snapped at the people in the room. "Release her back to the streets."

"But sire, what about the stealing...?"

"Never mind that," Yugioh hissed. But before Alisa could be escorted out he called to her. "Beware, Alisa in two years I will have you!"

~~~~~Next dream~~~~

/Finally, it's been nearly two years since I met that sexy, untouchable brat/ I could hear my old self thinking. /Of course, its also my 17th birthday, meaning the High Priests will have to give a special something or should I say someone for my birthday/ Yugioh smirked devilishly at the thought. I wanted to punch him again. How could I have been that arrogant? I noted his face fell as his next thought formed in my brain. /Of course, whoever they find won't be nearly as desirable as that green and brown eyed beauty./

I was extremely confused about all this, for all the memories I had of me and my queen, we had been happily married. This whole only-thinking-of- Alyssa/Alisa-as-just-a-pleasure-slave-thing was irking me. What if Alyssa and I weren't destined to be together? Then who else could it be?

~~~~~Next dream~~~~~

"But Yugioh, won't the palace guards *and* the high priests mind?" Alisa asked. The Millennium Necklace glinting in the early morning sun.

"I swear, honey, you never cease to surprise me," Yugioh replied. "Just yesterday you were dying to her out of the palace."

"True it will be fun... but what if we caught. Remember last time we were caught? We were forced to stay in different rooms for a week. If you didn't find that secret passage, I don't know what I would have done without you."

"Hehe, yeah I remember that unfortunate event."

"I'm only going because this time we have Carolyn covering for us. She owes us one after we covered for her to meet that mysterious man," Alisa responded. "Although she told me it's that tomb-robber Bakura, I'm sorry I can't tell you,"Alisa added under her breath, making sure Yugioh couldn't hear her. I could hear her perfectly though.

"Pshssst, she's just a servant. Your personal hand maid, but a servant none the less." Yugioh rolled his eyes. Grr... apparently, I was still a bit of an ignoramus.

Alyssa batted Yugioh on the arm. "She's my best friend, don't talk about her that way!"

"Fine," the Pharaoh reluctantly agreed, rubbing black hair grease in his hair to dye it black and to get it to stay down in some semblance of a normal person's hair. There was nothing that could be done about his now black bangs thought, they were more stubborn then the rest of his hair. After all, with his crazy stick-up-everywhere spikes he was easily recognized as the Pharaoh. Alisa, on the other hand, had to wear a piece of material fashioned into an eyepiece, since her eyes were very recognizable as no other known person in Egypt supported one green eye and one brown eye.

"I hate this stupid eye patch. I feel like a freaking blind person when it's on. Heck, I *am* half blind when it's on!," Alisa complained. I rolled my eyes, just as my past-self did, she would have said that in my time too.

"Shall we be on our way my queen?" Yugioh extended his hand in an overly formal fashion. Alisa gracefully took it and they exited the room quietly together. My dream ended as soon as they disappeared from view and I snapped awake.

~~~End of Yami's POV~~~

Yami snapped awake and glanced at Alyssa lying next to him. He smiled, knowing that they were most likely going to get married one day, and judging by the past, soon too. That was reassuring that they were going to get over the previous night's events. /Finally/ Yami thought /now I know who to give the Millennium Necklace to. But I'll wait till her birthday next month./ Yami drifted off to sleep with a smile on his face, having all his questions about his queen answered.
