A/N: Thank you so much those of you who have reviewed my first, and for some of you my second chapter. Since school starts tomorrow for me, I am going to post all the chapters that I already did, including a new one! Once I get reviews, I will reply to them in my story like usual, then re-post the chapters. I will announce when I do that. Please, if you can, review to each chapter [if you did that before the story got removed]. I like to respond to a lot of people. And once again, I don't own YuGiOh...just Alexa and my story idea...

Yugi found a room, and put the now drowsy Alexa on the bed. He closed the door, and left to go talk to Yami again. The silence was beginning to bother him, and how on earth were they to get back the Millennium Puzzle? Was it destroyed? If it was, how were they going to put it back together? Sure, he was once able to re-assemble it, but that was most likely due to a rush to get out of the burning building. And why wasn't Alexa's Millennium Powers, which were supposed to be as strong as all the items, not able to bring them all back? Were they now missing from the future, or did it freeze? He found himself absent mindedly playing with one of his earrings again, but he didn't care. He just hoped he would be able to get out of Egypt alive.

He opened the door to the thrown room, to find Yami seemingly pacing across the room. He walked in, trying to make a little noise so he wouldn't totally catch the Pharaoh of guard. Yami turned when Yugi walked in, and seemed to be relieved to see Yugi.

"Yugi! Where's Alexa? Is she alright?"

"She's in one of the rooms sleeping. She's fine."

"Yugi, I found out why no ones here."

"Really?"

"Yes. There's apparently some war going on."

"A war!? You mean, like, with fighting?"

"Yes, Yugi. And everyone's in the battle…"

"Except us?"

"Except us. But that's not the only thing that worries me."

"What? But what else is wrong?"

"You know how I was here once in the past, right?"

"Right…"

"Well, if I'm here right now, where's the one who was here originally?"

Yugi thought for a moment. "You mean, you think there's two of you?"

"I'm not sure. But everything's gone wrong so far, that's just another possibility."

"Well, maybe we should make like Alexa, and just drink beer. We'll be happier at least."

"She drank beer?"

"Yes…"

"It makes me wonder what you ate…"

"It's not our fault! We were hungry…and didn't know what it was…" Yugi replied defensively.

"I know it's not your fault. But there are much more serious matters to be concerned with." Yami said, deep in thought. "For one, who is waging this war? What are the stakes? How long has it been going on?"

"Konnichiwa!" Alexa flashed a peace sign as she walked in, obviously better.

"Alexa! You're ok!" Yugi said happily.

"I'm a little confused…the last thing I remember was drinking something…" Alexa wondered to no one in particular.

"Beer?" Yami and Yugi asked at the same time.

"You two are doing it again!" Alexa said, unaware of what had been discussed before, and also added "Why is there no one here anyway?"

"Alexa," Yami began slowly, knowing he would crush Alexa's carefree spirit, "I'm afraid that the reason for that is that right now, we're in a war." Yami tried to finish as quickly as possible, not wanting the news to be real.

"We are? That would explain a lot…but who are we fighting against?" Alexa inquired. She had brought up an obvious fact that neither Yami nor Yugi truly realized: It was them who were on one side of the war.

"We're not sure. But it must be someone powerful, if everyone is there." Yugi stated.

"Yes, they must be. But my only hope is that we don't lose anyone, and if we do, the result is kept at a minimum." Yami replied flatly.

"Hey, wait a minute…" Alexa said thinking aloud, "Do you think that the evil Bokura dude has to do with it?" She stopped at that.

"It could easily be." Yami answered. He hadn't realized until now that Alexa didn't constantly be "care-free", and was serious when she had to be. He mentally argued with himself that Alexa couldn't be trusted.

"If it is, though, he has a huge advantage over us. He has the puzzle and the ring." Yugi said, growing worried. If only he had the puzzle, they might be able to stop him. But even if they had the puzzle, he and Yami barely knew how to use it. It seemed so hopeless, because if Alexa used her powers now, she might drain them completely. They had no hope of returning home anytime soon. Nothing was good, and Yugi struggled to keep from falling apart completely. Alexa seemed a little nervous, but she probably was showing a lot less then she felt. Yami was almost un-fazed, but when was he nervous? Only a few times in the past, that's when…and speaking of the past, what if there were two Yami's? What would happen then? Yugi wished that Joey was there, or even Tristan, or even, although it would be against Alexa's wants, Teã. It was so much, and even a little more would cause the boy to collapse.

"I hope nothing bad happens. I really don't want to die in a foreign, although amazing, country!" Alexa hoped out loud. She wasn't sure of what to do in this situation either, and it was beginning to build up.

"You two should go and rest for a while. I'll think of something we can do…" Yami commanded gently. Alexa and Yugi each walked into a room, and laid down on top of the bed in there. Yugi ended up crying himself to sleep. Alexa remained awake, but while crying as silently as possible. She was just a burden to Yugi and Yami without her powers. There had to be something she could do besides where pricey jewelry and outfits, but what?

Meanwhile, in the same room Yami was in since he had gotten there, Yami was trying to convince himself that this wasn't happening. But he kept being disturbed by feeling like someone was in that room with him. Every time he turned around, however, no one was there. Yami kept his guard up, and felt to be ready for anything. He couldn't help but feel the slightest bit of fright that there was another one of him somewhere, though…

Alexa turned and tossed in the bed. She suddenly sprang up. She had to do something, but who better to ask then the Pharaoh himself? She walked semi-loudly to be heard before she arrived in the throne room.

Yami heard the footsteps, then suddenly felt as if he couldn't control himself, like there was someone else controlling him. The sound that announced someone's arrival wasn't making it any easier, either…

Alexa stood in front of the door, wondered if what she was doing would help at all, decided to do it anyway…

Yami's mind was swirling with thoughts on what was going on, and it cleared up hardly at all. Could this be another one of himself?

Alexa took a breath, then pushed open the door…

Yami saw Alexa enter, but was unable to control himself anymore. This other presence was too strong…but what would he do to Alexa? He feared for her safety…

"Yami? I was wondering…"

Yami couldn't believe what he heard himself say, "Who are you?"

Alexa was obviously puzzled. "I'm Alexa, remember?"

"Oh really, what kingdom are you from, Alexa?" Yami realized this other presence was another him, that's exactly what he would have said in this time…but if that was true…

"What do you mean, "what kingdom?" I came here with you, remember?" Alexa said, in the back of her mind wondering if this was some kind of joke…

Yami felt himself touch the whip he kept at his belt. He was shocked at what he was doing. But, try as he might, he couldn't stop himself… "You came here with me? From where did we come?"

Alexa was getting annoyed. "Yami, come on! Jokes over, I have something important to tell you!"

Yami silently begged Alexa to leave before he hurt her. His life in the past wasn't as good as it was in the future. He tried to mentally talk to her, as Yugi did, but found it no use. His dis-trust in her was keeping him from reaching her. He didn't want her to get hurt, though. He began to grip the whip, which was a common weapon in this time, even though it was mostly used for chariots. Then again, he had never used it "just for chariots"… "What did you call me?"

Alexa was clueless at what was going on. "I called you by your name, Yami. Remember?"

Yami gripped the whip. He now remembered exactly how this happened in the past. This tightening grip was the last thing he would do before he used it. "Get out, before I hurt you, you're so obviously a commoner in disguise…"

Alexa ignored the precaution. "Yami, tell me what is going on! I know you know me! Now stop pretending!" Alexa sounded brave, but she felt more nervous then a balloon in a needle factory. (I can come up with some good ones, can't I? -.-;;;)

Yami, although wishing with all his might that he wouldn't, tightly gripped the whip, and pulled it from his belt. He stepped away from Alexa, and then cracked the whip. It hit exactly where his other presence wanted: the side of Alexa's face, right where her hair met the edge of her head.

Alexa winced in pain. It was stinging strong, and it took a minute for her to realize what was going on. Once it registered, she backed up as if to leave, then stepped forward, refusing to let the spirit who obviously still didn't trust her let her show her fear.

"Take a step closer, and I won't miss this time." Yami threatened against his will.

Alexa placed her hand against the cut, and backed up, and headed for the door. She almost exited when Yami shouted something in Arabic to some guards, who then advanced towards Alexa. Alexa couldn't believe what was going on. She ran out, and escaped into the hallway with the guards close behind. She leapt out the door, and hid behind some trees. The guards stupidly passed her. She remembered that Yugi was still in his room, and made her way to his room. She was worried about Yugi. She came to the bottom of his window, and went to yell for him, but she stopped because the whip burn was too painful. I'll have to get into his room… Alexa thought, as she clambered in. She fell in pretty clumsily, which woke Yugi up.

"A…Alexa? What are you doing here? And why are you on the floor like that?" Yugi asked, as he yawned and got out of the bed to help Alexa up. Alexa gladly accepted the help, being careful to cover the whips fury…

"I'm here to talk to you about Yami, and I climbed in through the window." Alexa said, hoping the fact she was covering the cut would make it obvious something was wrong.

"What about him? And what's with your face?" Yugi asked. Since he had just woken up, he wasn't a clear minded as usual…

"You won't believe me."

"Try me."

"Yami, he…" Alexa sighed. "Yami whipped me." She removed her hand from her face.

Yugi couldn't believe what he heard or saw. The cut was deep, but straight and even, it had to be a whip's lash. "It must have been the Yami from the past…"

"The Yami from where?" Alexa asked, hating how clueless she was.

"That's right! We never told you!"

"Never told me what exactly?"

"Yami thought that there might be another one of him in this time, since we came into the past, here was here originally but then he came again, so now there are two Yami's in one place and time." Yugi said, more so to himself then to Alexa.

"Yugi, are you saying that the reason that this happened to me is because of Yami from the past?"

"Yeah, I think…" Yugi said, knowing that another problem now was in there way.

"Yugi, we have to remind him about, well, him! I don't think that he is two separate people, I think that two…uh…people are trying to get one body! Kind of like when you and Yami are at home, and yeah…" Alexa stopped. She was only worsening the situation. So much for trying to help.

"I think you are right. Was he in the thrown room still?" Yugi asked, wanting to confirm what he thought to be correct.

"Yep. I don't think he wanted to leave. I mean, he had no reason to, right?" Alexa answered.

"No, he doesn't. But how can we remind him of him?" Yugi asked.

Alexa smiled a smile that said it was obvious. Yugi was confused still, and Alexa told him. "Look in the mirror Yugi! Who better to remind Yami of him then someone who looks just like him?"

"Ok, yeah…but there are quite a few differences between us, actually…" Yugi answered.

"Yugi, you're the closest to him here right now! You have to do it!"

"I will, but what if Yami got completely…what if he disappeared because we came here?"

"He won't. I know he's still here. I can feel it." Alexa answered reassuringly.

Suddenly, they heard Arabic shouting from outside the window. Alexa cautiously peeked out, and saw the guards. If she didn't distract them, they would find her and Yugi…and she had a feeling that there punishment would be worse then a whipping, which was pretty bad in the first place.

"It's the guards! There the same ones that Yami sent after me."

"He sent guards after you?! What did you say to him?"

"That's not important. I'm going to go out there and distract them; you keep your existence to a minimal until you think of something. Wish me luck!" Alexa said more exited then she felt, and looked.

"Alexa! No! Who knows what they'll do for a second offense? I mean, first with the Pharaoh and then escaping the law!" Yugi asked nervously

"Look, if I stay, chances are they'll look in this window and catch us both. I mean, I don't like getting captured as much as the next guy, but at least one of us has to be free. I just hope I'll live to tell the tale." Alexa said, ready to jump out at a seconds notice.

"Alexa! Don't!"

"As you once said, better a chance then none at all!" Alexa said in an almost harsh way. Yugi fell silent.

"Alright Alexa. Just be careful."

"I will." Alexa said, as she jumped out the window. Yugi leaned against the wall to hear if she said anything, and he hoped that she wouldn't…

The guards spoke angrily. Alexa yelled some final thoughts to Yugi.

"When Yami says to get out, that's the last thing he'll do before he uses the whip!" Alexa shouted.

Yugi begged Alexa through there mental link. Be quiet! They'll hear you talking in my direction!

"They would, but they can't understand English!" Alexa shouted before the guards dragged her off.

"But I do." Yami's other self muttered to himself. Thanks for telling me there's another one to torture…

A/N: Up to this point, I had one review to this chapter last night. So, I will reply to the one reviewer! Don't worry, people, I will reply to all of yours!

Yugis Lover Girl: No problem. I don't know exactly what Sonic is, anyway, so I WILL NOT BE ADDING HIM!!!! (Hint hint, nudge nudge? Someone said that in a review on my last story…I don't remember who though. --;;;)

Lime333: Pie from Egypt, heh? Watching the food network again? Was it to preserve food stuff? Was there mince meat? Haha, sorry. You don't have to answer that. About Sonic….NOT YOU TOO!!!!

DevilDo1169: I'm glad you really like them that much! Yes, the part with Alexa and the beer was pretty funny. That's why I added it in! I'm glad you remembered! I even have hard times remembering too. -.-;;; That's pretty said, especially when I am the one who wrote the story. But I am still writing, so I am happy.
