{Yugi}

Yugi was sitting on his bed in his soul room. Yami and Daricio were sitting on the floor.

"Well, What are we going to do?" Yugi asked.

"Personally, I don't really see where there is much of a problem..."Yami said. "I mean, sure Daricio's stuck here, but why is that bad? After all, I'M stuck here too....."

"Yeah, but YOU don't have a mother who is going to....to....I don't know WHAT she'd do if she finds her daughter in her room like that..." Daricio said, glaring at Yami. Her face turned slightly red from annoyance.

"Like what?" Yami asked.

"You remember what Seto, Mokuba and Yugi's Grandpa looked like when Pegasus stole their souls, right? And what Yugi looked like when he fainted. That's what I probably look like right now. Soul-less. Only there's a difference. My parents aren't going to know what happened. They are going to be really worried. They are probably going to think I'm dying! How did you feel when you thought Yugi was dead? Huh? HOW DOES THAT FEEL?!?!?" Daricio had stood up and was yelling at Yami.

Yugi and Yami were staring at Daricio.

"I do NOT want my parents to be worried. If that isn't a problem, Yami, I don't know WHAT is." Daricio finished. "I have GOT to get back there."

She turned herself semi-invisible and retreated to a corner. (She was unable to make herself completely invisible because she couldn't concentrate very well.) Yami looked at Yugi.

"SOMEBODY got up on the wrong side of the bed...." He said, trying to lighten the mood and failing. Yugi sighed and went over to Daricio, who was crying.

"What do you think we should do? I mean, obviously you wouldn't have told us all of this if you didn't think we would be able to do anything about it." He said softly.

Daricio looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "I don't know. I just don't know. I had thought that....But it wouldn't work because we can't get to my...." Suddenly her face brightened. "Oh, right! My theory! I can test it out now!"

"Theory?" Yugi asked. He looked over at Yami who was staring at the floor looking depressed. "What theory?"

"Before I told you about all that, I had a theory that in order for me to get back, our bond would have to be stronger! Like, you touching my skin or being able to see me or something like that.

"I had given up on it because I had thought there was just no way for you to get to my room, but now I know you can! Let's go find that room you were talking about!" Daricio stood and went towards the door, Yugi following her.

Yami looked up at her and noticed where she was headed. "Oh, no. You are NOT going in there without me..."

Daricio gave him a glare and he fell silent. He followed her and Yugi into the puzzle anyway.

**************************************************************************** ***

{Shells}

Shells awoke the next morning to screaming and crying. Her mom was trying to do something on Daricio's bed above her. She looked up at the clock. It was 5:45 AM. She got out of bed.

"Mom? What happened? What's going on?" She asked sleepily.

"Daricio!" Mom sobbed. "There's something wrong with Daricio!"

"I could have told her that..." Shells muttered. She climbed up onto Daricio's bed. It appeared as if Daricio were asleep. She shook her hard.

Daricio didn't move.

"See what I mean? She apparently went to bed in her clothes last night, and she normally gets up right away! I think...I think....I'm calling the hospital!" Mom ran from the room towards the phone.

Shells looked back at Daricio's motionless form. "What's going on?"

**************************************************************************** **

{Yami}

Daricio and Yugi were far ahead of Yami, racing through the puzzle. Yami had no idea where they were headed, but he was NOT going to let anything happen to either of them.

Yugi was his best friend, like a little brother to him almost, and Daricio....Well, Daricio had to play some part in his destiny if Yugi's dream was right.

Yami sighed as Yugi and Daricio disappeared around a corner. He ran to catch up to them.

**************************************************************************** ***

{Daricio}

"So where is this door, Yugi?" Daricio asked as they climbed another set of stairs.

Yugi looked around him. "uh.......I don't remember...." He turned around to ask Yami, who was just turning around the corner, and almost ran into him.

"Sorry, Yami. Do you remember where that door was?" Yugi asked.

"Which one?" Yami asked. "The little one I couldn't fit in that transported us to Daricio's room?"

"Yeah, that one." Yugi said.

Yami thought for a moment. Then he shook his head. "There is something strange about that room, Yugi..... I don't remember where it is.... If it's anywhere, it's going to be there, though....I think..." Yami pointed at a room up ahead, but looked confused.

Yugi and Daricio raced towards the room. Daricio opened the door. She looked inside. Immedietly, a Harpie Lady flew, screaming out of it.

"AAAAHH!!" Daricio, Yugi and Yami all yelled, trying to get out of the way. The Harpie Lady flew past them then turned around. It swooped at them again.

They all ducked and the Harpie Lady flew right back into the room. It was preparing to turn around again, when Daricio closed the door.

Two seconds later, the Harpie Lady slammed against it, creating a very large Harpie Lady shaped dent. Everyone sighed.

"Oh, it's THAT door is it? Strange....It doesn't LOOK that way...." Daricio said sarcasticly to Yami. Then she turned to look at him.

He was staring at the floor sadly in a way that made her feel sorry for him. She thought about what she had said, then sighed again. "I'm sorry, Yami. I didn't mean to yell at you. It's just........ I'm very frustrated right now....."

He looked up at her and gave her a weak smile. "I think we have a case of a disappearing room." He said, trying once again to lighten the mood.

He apparently succeded, because Daricio gave a small smile. He liked her smile. "What's next?" He asked. "Do we need Bakura in here to go along with that Harpie Lady?"

Daricio gasped and her smile faded. "May--Maybe......Maybe we will!" She said, remembering.

****************************************************************************

{Shells}

When the ambulence showed up, Daricio was placed on a stretcher and raced out to it. Shells was scared. She knew DVD was too, but she didn't think anyone could possibly be as scared at that moment than Mom. She was in hystarics.

Shells climbed quickly into the car after Mom and DVD. They pulled away and followed the ambulence. She sighed as she watched it, knowing her sister was in trouble. The ride to the hospital seemed longer than it was, but it was like an eternity to Shells before they got there.

The ambulence doors opened, and they raced Daricio into the building. Shells, DVD and Mom hurried in afterwards, but they were stopped in the waiting room.

"There's nothing you can do right now. Please wait here and the doctor will figure out what happened." The Nurse kindly explained.

"That's my daughter in there! I can't even be with her?" Mom cried.

"I'm sorry. The doctor will be-"

Shells stepped forward. "What happened to Daricio?" She asked. "What's going on with my sister?"

The Nurse kneeled down and looked Shells in the eyes. "That's what we're trying to figure out now."

**************************************************************************** **

{Daricio}

Yami and Yugi had asked what Daricio meant about her statement, but she didn't want to say anything. "If we get to my room, I'll let you see the episode, but if I try now, I'll probably miss a detail or something." She kept telling them. After a while, they gave up trying to ask her and went back to searching.

The group searched for a full hour before they had to quit. Not that they really wanted to, but Yugi's Grandpa had just come into the room and informed him that it was time for school.

While Yugi concentrated on getting ready from school, Yami and Daricio continued searching.

"What time does Yugi's school start, Yami?" Daricio asked.

"At 7:55" Yami answered, turning to her.

"Hmm...Mine too. What kind of stuff are you guys learning about?" She questioned him.

"What subject?" Yami asked.

"Oh, I don't know....Well, Yugi said that you had to figure out these really hard equations in math, so...What kind of equations?" Daricio inquired.

Yami grimaced. "Quadratic Equations."

"Oh, I had to take a test on those yesterday at school. They're easy." Daricio grinned at the disgusted expression on Yami's face. "I did some reaserch, Yami, and I found out that the Ancient Egyptians knew how to do that kind of stuff. Quadratic Equations, Imaginary numbers, all of it!"

Yami looked away. "I don't remember." He admitted after a moment.

Daricio got quiet. "Sorry."

Yami turned back slightly. "Not your fault." He reassured her. "It's just that....Never mind." He turned away and started up with his explorations again.

Daricio sighed. //How am I going to get myself out of this whole mess?//She asked herself.

**************************************************************************** ***

Sorry if it's annoying, but I seem to like ending all of my chapters with that question, or something like it. *grins* Remember, any ideas are very appreciated!

Note: I really did do research on the Ancient Egyptians, and they really did have very advanced mathematics. I found it very interesting, so I put it into my story for all to see!!! ^_^

Also, sorry if this story is getting depressing............It will get better!!!!!!

Until next time! See ya!
