A.N: sigh If this turns out weird, I have a really bad case of writers block…Also this Quick edit thing has messed this up...

Also I've been busy reading/watching the Pharaoh's Memory Arc, so there are a lot of references to that.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything! Cries Maybe one day? Maybe for a box of nice cookies? :) How about an unopened box of pocky and a bottle of cherry coke?

Chapter Four: Things are becoming to clear up

Egypt:

"My love, it is nearly ready!" Imamizno cried throwing her arms around the man, now reveled in the light to have light lavender hair and deep eyes. He smiled at her.

"Nearly…we are so close…but not close enough…"

The Pharaoh's throne room:

"Isis? You said you had something you wanted to tell me?" Atemu asked as Isis, the holder of the millenium necklace, walked up the isle of bowing slaves to bow down at his feet. He motioned for her to rise.

"Pharaoh Atemu…I saw a vision…of great destruction. Not only to Egypt, but the world."

Atemu eyed her. He opened his mouth to speak but closed it quickly, as the other priests filed in. He saw them move towards Isis and himself and moved his attention towards his cousin, leading them up the aisle.

'Isis's vision will have to wait…' Atemu thought eyeing them. Behind him he could hear his advisor, Shimon appear. Seto glared at him.

"We have located some more Ka's…"

"Mana!" the Pharaoh yelled gleefully as a young girl ran up to him and Priest Mahado. She smiled at the two, the smile reminiscent of the future Dark Magician Girl.

"Mana, what are you doing out here?" Mahado, the present holder of the Millenium Ring asked as she hugged the both of them.

"Practicing what you taught me before Mahado-sama! One day I'm going to be a great magician in the Prince's court, just like you!" Mahado and the Pharaoh laughed.

"That's good but remember, the 'Prince' is now the Pharaoh…I've already told you so many times" Mahado said as Mana joined them in their walk of the palace grounds.

"But Mahado-sama, I've always called him the 'Prince'!" Mana said, addressing the tall, tanned man. The three had been friends since childhood, before the Pharaoh was the ruler, when Pharaoh Aunumkanon had watched over the kingdom.

"So Pharaoh…what do you think of this new kind of Ka?" Mahado asked as Mana skipped ahead of them. The Pharaoh sighed.

"Ka is supposed to be the force inside one's mind, your spirit power. These, with the help of the Rod can be sealed to help keep peace. If we didn't seal them, there may be the ultimate destruction. But these new Ka's we spoke about yesterday…they resemble monsters of elements…it is strange indeed."

"But if…if these powers were sealed…they could be used instead of the items, no?" Mahado asked.

"Perhaps…"

Igasu smiled and wrapped her arms over the other girl from behind, covering her eyes.

"Guess who!" she asked cheerfully into the other girl's ear. The other girl responded with a sigh.

"Bunny-chan…haven't you anything else to do?" Ierion said as Igasu sat next to her on the stone steps leading into the palace's maze of gardens. Igasu smiled again and shook her head. Even in the hot desert summer of Egypt, Igasu refused to wear a head cover. She giggled and changed position, so she was now kneeling in front of Ierion. Behind her the hot sun beat down on her head but she did not let it bother her. A foreign princess of a nameless, distant land, Igasu had soft, sky blue eyes and pale skin, which no matter what refused to tan. She wore her blonde hair in a unique style; two pigtails flowing down from bits at the top, resembling small balls. To add to her foreign look she also wore flimsy dresses, made from thin pieces of silk. Those who saw her thought her as beautiful, yet they came to think of her as a different type of race all together, she was too different for them. She looked as if she belonged somewhere completely different, as if she belonged on the moon.

Since she had come to Egypt and was of royal blood it was decided upon early for her to marry Pharaoh Atemu, who at that stage was the 'Prince'. She had settled in quickly and made friends with ease. It seemed apparent from the start, when she had met her attendant Imamizno and Ierion that they were to be together, not only as friends but by past fate. It was also apparent that she mourned for a love and would never come to see Atemu as her one and only. Still, in the upcoming days to her wedding, she greeted everyone with glee and laughter, as if it was just another day.

"Can't you ever stop being so serious Ierion? Your no fun!" Igasu whined and pouted. She was met by a disapproving look.

"Well, why can't you ever stop being so carefree? Life was not meant to fun! You have so much to do, Princess. You have responsibilities! What with your upcoming wedding-"

"Oh, don't talk about such things! I don't want to get married to him anyway! It would be so boring!" Igasu interrupted.

"It doesn't matter. It was what was decided. Nothing but the Gods can change that."

"Mars princess-sama, I don't want him! I want–" Igasu stared but felt a searing pain across her cheek.

"Don't let anyone else hear you say that! He isn't here, Princess! He's dead! We must find the others if you are to ever see him again, understand? You know better then to say such things! You can get killed here. You don't want me getting in to trouble because of the things that came out of your mouth?" Ierion lectured. She could see Igasu was on the verge of tears but couldn't let this slip.

'She has to understand…for all of us…'

"Princess, on the moon you were the one destined for happiness. The others and I, princesses in our own right, were there to protect you, as Imamizno and I do here. To make sure things as that awful night do not happen to pass again and so you can one day find your love, you must play along here. One day in the future, I'm sure we'll all be happy…" Ierion said, her voice now calm and low. Igasu sniffled and nodded.

"I know your right, Ierion-chan. Your always right" and with that Igasu swallowed her tears and replaced them with her smile. Giving her friend a quick hug she got up and walked back into the palace, the end of her long white dress trailing after the slender girl.

'I am sorry Igasu…we are all unhappy about this wedding…'

Yugi's hotel room, inside the Soul Room:

"You don't think I was harsh when I told her do you, Hikari?" Yami asked his smaller form, lying down in front of him. He himself sat with his knees up to his chest, a pensive look on his face.

"No. Give it time, Yami. I'm sure she'll be back" Yugi said, staring into space above him. He then turned to face his other half and reached out to grasp his hand.

"I don't think that's what your worried about really, is it? She seemed to take the information in quite well…" Yami neither spoke or moved towards his comment.

"Your worried about the affects on her?" Yugi said as Yami finally focused onto his attention on him.

"Yes…she seemed to only be mildly affected when I told her of my past and of the items. But then when I asked her about keeping her item, her whole attitude seemed to change. And then Rei showed up." Yami let go of his aibou's hand and changed his seating position. He glanced up at the world of darkness and mist around them and sighed.

"Not only that but the item itself confuses me. My father did not make an eighth millenium item. Throw in my confusion about Ami and even Rei and Usagi and my mind is cluttered. I don't know what to do"

Yugi smiled and sat up.

"I'm sure everything will work out. Just follow your heart…"

"YUGI!"

Both turned to look at the dark sky.

"Did you hear that?" Yami asked as Yugi smiled once again.

"Yug…Yugi…where are you?" a familiar male voice said.

"Hey Yugi!" joined another male voice.

"It's Anzu, Jouunichi and Honda!"

Somewhere, deep in Tokyo:

The apartment room was bare, save for the minimal furniture, computer and the photograph of the old man on the bedside.

The view outside the window should have shown the apartment over the street but was covered by a long, flimsy curtain. Still, little light shone into the room, even in the day, causing it to be dark other then the for the small florescent bulb in the ceiling or the computer monitor. The jingle of keys being inserted into the keyhole was heard and Ryou stepped inside, leaving his shoes by the door. His feet made a soft thud as they connected with the uncarpeted wooden floor. He swung his jacket over the one chair in the room and switched on the computer monitor. It beeped as he crossed over to the small kitchenette and opened the mini fridge door. Light sprawled out but he lifted a soda can and closed it with his foot. Cracking the can open and devouring it's contents, he closed his eyes. Around his neck the Millenium Ring glowed, shining light upon it wearer's face. It showed a man with hardened features and cruel eyes. This was not Ryou. It was his other self, his darkside, the ancient thief Bakura. He smiled to himself and tossed the can on the floor. Tidy Ryou would pick it up later.

'And so tonight I have found Imamizno…with a little help from the ring and of course her pendant. This time everything will go to plan. There is no rush…Ryou can have some fun. Imamizno was a good girl…and Ami shall be even better…' Bakura thought to himself. Then he laughed.

Ami's bedroom:

Morning light streamed through her window, only just touching her eyelids. Ami blinked and leaned over to switch her alarm off before it went on. She slipped back into her former position and looked up at the white ceiling above her.

'What happened last night? With Ryou?' Ami sighed. He had said something odd to her last night and her response was just as odd.

--

"I missed you Imamizno…"

Ami felt her heartbeat quicken as he pulled away. She didn't want him to go. He couldn't go!

"Bakura!" she yelled to her own surprise. He smiled and turned away from her.

"Next time, my love. Next time…" he said quietly as Ami watched him disappear into the night.

--

'It was as if we were different people, from a different time. Different…Ryou…' Ami shook her head. This was really getting weird. Before it was…different…and then it was strange, but now it was just plain weird. The illogicalness of it was making her brain want to pop.

'First I'm always tired. Then I'm feeling somewhat controlled and out of character. Then I start getting those unclear dreams. I then feel like killing my best friends and I'm getting told that my pendant…'

"My pendant!" Ami screamed, reaching under her pajama top in an effort to find it.

"WHERE IS IT!?!" Ami snarled, going under the bed covers. Her breathing became quick gasps as she struggled to breath. Her heart kept stopping and starting as she searched frantically.

'NOOOOOOOOO!!!'

Coming to the surface, she glanced at her bedside. Her breathing became calm and her heart returned to normal. Beside her alarm lay the pendant on it's fine chain. Ami lifted it carefully and held it to her heart, breathing a sign of relief. Then a puzzled look crossed her face.

'Didn't I break the chain yesterday?' Ami thought, examining the chain. She could find not a problem in it.

'That's odd…I could have sworn…' Ami shook her head again.

'If I don't hurry, I'll be late to school! I don't want to worry my teachers by my absence'

'Don't want to worry Usagi'

'Yeah…she did sound worried yesterday on the phone. I can't believe I mis-'

"Did I just talk to myself? Like to another…me?" Confused

…Ok, if you hadn't noticed, action usally represented with words in between stars, are now replaced like this: quick edit doesn't like stars

Also i have proper lines in between scenes like this:

Instead of the star lines. yawn How boring! That's all.
