Chapter 3
"The Return To Cairo: Once. Twice?"
"It's OK, Yugi." Yami said.
It is just that I can not help but miss her. At least knowing that she will remember us makes me feel better.+ Yugi said.
I understand, brother.+ Yami said.
"I should probably show Joey around the palace." Yugi said.
"No, you should safe your strength, cousin. I'll show Wheeler around the palace." Seto said.
"Thanks, Seto." Yugi said smiling at Seto.
"Your welcome, Yugi." Seto said smiling back at Yugi.
Then Seto turned and walked out of Pharaoh Yugi's study and back to where he left Joey. Yugi walked back over to one of the chairs and slumped into the chair looking a little weak. Yami gasped then ran over to Yugi and sat down on his knees next to the chair.
Are you all right?-
/I'm fine, Yami./
Are you sure?-
/Yeah. I'm just a little tired that's all, Yami./
Yugi? Please tell me, what's going on?-
/It's nothing, Yami really./
"Hmmm, alright if you don't want to tell me that's fine." Yami said.
"There's nothing to tell, Yami." Yugi said.
"Brother, if I have to I'll use our mindlink to read your mind and find out what's going on." Yami said.
"You wouldn't." Yugi said.
"I will if I have too." Yami said.
"I'm telling you the truth, I'm just a little tired." Yugi said.
Yugi shot out of his chair.
"I'm going to go back to my chambers and lie down." He said walking out of Pharaoh Yugi's study. Then just before he walked out the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami returned to it. Then Yugi headed to his chambers.
"Pharaoh Yugi, are you going to go and rest?" Nabila asked.
"If I can. I haven't sleep very well in 3 months." Yugi said.
"I have some herbs I can brew into a tea that will help you sleep sire, if you wish I can brew some up for you." Nabila said.
"Yes, please Nabila. I'm desperate for a good nights sleep." Yugi said.
"Yes, sire. I shall bring it to you in your chambers." Nabila said.
Then Nabila turned and walked away. Then Yugi continued on to his chambers and walked into his chambers and over to the large table he had he laptop set up on. Then he opened it, turned it on and logged on to AOL. Then he saw Ryou, Bakura, and Duke were on and joined them in a chatroom.
CHATROOM
HeartOfTheCards: Hi, guys.
HarakiOfTheTombRobber: Hello, Yugi.
TheTombRobber: Hello Pharaoh.
DiceKing: Hey, Yugi.
Then there was a knock on Yugi's chamber doors.
"Who's there?" Yugi asked.
"It's Nabila, sire." She said.
"Oh, come in Nabila." Yugi said.
Nabila walked in and over to Yugi.
"Here, sire." Nabila said handing the tea to Yugi.
"Sleep well, sire." She said bowing then she turned and walked out.
Yugi drank the tea and almost fell asleep at the computer.
HeartOfTheCards: I'm gonna try and get some sleep later guys.
HeartOfTheCards has logged out.
Yugi stood up and stumbled half-asleep to his bed and layed down and fell into a very, very, very, very deep sleep. Then Yami appeared in spirit form next to Yugi, worried because he was bearly able to sense Yugi, and watched Yugi sleep for a moment before noticing he was bearly breathing. Yami's eyes widen, then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami took a physical form. Then Yami grabbed the Horus Shadow Gauntlet and used it to get Yugi help. There's a bright flash behind Joey and Seto and Yami appeared.
"We have a major problem, guys." Yami said.
"Has somethin' happened ta Yug?" Joey asked.
"Yes." Yami said looking at the ground sadly.
"Alright, tell me exactly what happened, Yami." Seto said.
Yami took a deep breath.
"Yugi drank some tea, to help him sleep, then he got up from the computer layed down and fell into a very, very, very, very deep sleep. I came out of Millennium Puzzle because I was worried because I could bearly sense him. Then watched him sleep for a moment then I noticed he was bearly breathing then I took physical form grabbed the Horus Shadow Gauntlet and came here to get Yugi help." Yami said.
"Right, let's go." Seto said.
Then Seto turned and ran down the hall and into Yugi's chambers at full speed. By the time Joey and Yami caught up to Seto he was carrying Yugi towards the door.
"We gotta get him back to Cairo." He said.
"But, that's 5 hours on horseback." Joey said.
"Seto, in Yugi contdion he won't make it that long." Yami said sadly.
If you have another idea cousin, I would love to hear it.+ Seto said.
I could go into the Millennium Puzzle use it and take over Yugi. Then I can use the powers of the Horus Shadow Gauntlet and send Yugi and myself back to the hotel room. Then I can go to Téa's hotel room, then turn control back over to Yugi.+ Yami said.
That might just work.+ Seto said.
"It's his only chance." He said genteelly laying Yugi down on the floor.
Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami returned to it. Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed again and Yami took control over from Yugi. Yami opened his eyes, then he stood up.
"I'd better get Yugi back to Cairo." Yami said.
Then the Millennium Puzzle gave off a bright flash and Yami disappeared and then appeared in another bright flash in Yugi's hotel room. Then Yami ran out of the hotel room acrossed the hall and knocked on Téa's hotel room door.
"TÉA, OPEN UP!" He shouted banging on Téa's hotel room door.
"TÉA, IT'S AN EMERGENCY!" He shouted still banging on Téa's hotel room door.
Téa ran to open the door.
"Yugi, what's wrong?" Téa asked.
"That's what's wrong." Yami said.
Téa's eyes widen.
"Yami, what happened to Yugi?" Téa asked.
"It'll be better if you see it, then if I told you." Yami said.
Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami turned control back over to Yugi. Yugi collapsed on to the ground and didn't move and was bearly breathing. Téa gasped and started shaking Yugi.
"OH MY GOD, YUGI!" Téa shouted trying to wake him up.
Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami took control over from Yugi.
"Do you see what I mean, Téa?" Yami asked.
"We need to get him to the hospital." Téa said.
"I agree." Yami said with worry in his voice.
"Everything will be fine Yami." Téa said.
"Not unless you go back to the Kame Game Shop and retrieve the Horus Shadow Pendant." Yami said sadly.
"What about Yugi?" Téa asked with concern.
"I'll take care of him. Kaiba, sent word to the KaibaCorb helicopter to be waiting for you at the airport. Now, go!" Yami exclaimed.
Téa nodded, grabbed her purse and ran out. Téa ran to the airport and got in the KaibaCorb helicopter. Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami disappeared and reappeared in the bathroom in the hospital. Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami turned control back over to Yugi. Yugi's body collapsed. Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami took a physical form. Then Yami half-dragged and half-carried Yugi out of the bathroom.
"A little help, here!" Yami cried out.
The nurse saw Yami, ran over and helped put Yugi on a stretcher.
3:30 PM
Téa ran into the Kame Game Shop.
"It's in the backroom." Gramps said.
Téa ran into the backroom. She glanced around and saw something, golden glimmer on the back of a shelf. She pulled it out, it was a gold jewelry box, and it was covered with hieroglyphics. She opened it, her eyes widen in awe.
"It's beautiful." Téa said.
Then Téa took the Horus Shadow Pendant out and put it on. Then there was a blinding flash and Téa was dressed as a queen of ancient Egypt would've.
"Oh no, Yugi!" Téa cried out grabbed her purse and ran out.
Téa got into Kaiba's limo and went back to the airport.

She then got in the helicopter and it flew her back to Egypt.
8:30 PM
They landed in Cairo, Egypt. The doctor came in to check on Yugi for the 8th time.
"He's regained a lot of his strength. I don't understand why." The doctor said.
"Téa must have brought back the Horus Shadow Pendant." Yami said as Téa walked in.
"How's he doing Yami?" Téa asked with concern.
Then Yugi's cell phone, which Yami had in his pocket started ringing.
"Excuse me, I'll be right back." Yami said.
Then Yami walked out of the room. Yami walked out of the hospital and answered the cell phone.
"Hello." Yami said.
"Hey, Yami. It's me Seto." He said.
"Hi, cousin." Yami said.
"How's he doing?" Seto asked with concern.
"He's doing a little better." Yami said.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Seto asked.
"Yes." Yami said.
"Tell me, what it is cousin!" Seto demanded.
"You can use the Horus Shadow Mirror to find out were the Horus Shadow Staff is." Yami said.
"Of course, cousin. I'll bring Wheeler to the hospital as soon as we get it." Seto said.
"Good." Yami said as Téa ran out of the hospital and up to Yami.
"I'll see you when you get here. Bye." He said hanging up the cell phone and turned to look at Téa.
"How's he doing?" He asked with concern.
"He woke up." Téa said.
Yami smiled at Téa then ran into Yugi's room with Téa right behind him. The doctor looked up when Yami ran in. Then the doctor stepped back. Yami walked over to Yugi's bedside.
"Yugi?" Yami asked with concern.
Yugi looked at Yami weakly.
"Yami?" Yugi asked weakly.
Yami smiled.
"Yeah, it's me. Just take it easy, brother." Yami said with worry in his voice.
Téa ran in.
"Yugi?" Téa asked with worry in her voice.
"Téa?" Yugi asked weakly.
Yami stepped aside and revealed Téa. Yugi blinked in confusion.
"Treanna?" Yugi asked weakly in confusion.
"Yes, it's me, my Pharaoh." Téa said running over and taking Yugi's hand.
"Yugi and Yami? Are you named after the twin Pharaohs?" The doctor asked.
"No. I am Pharaoh Yami and Yugi is the reincarnation of Pharaoh Yugi." Yami said.
The doctor look shock a moment, then bowed to Yami.
"My apologizes, Pharaoh. I did not recognize you." The doctor said.
"All will be forgiven, as long as you take good care of my brother." Yami said.
"Right, Treanna?" He asked.
"Yes, if he takes good care of my husband." Téa said.
"Of course." The doctor said.

"Don't that beat all." Seto said.
Then Seto walked out of his chambers and went to Joey's chambers. Seto knocked on the door. Joey answered it.
"Did ya call, Yami?" Joey asked with concern.
Seto nodded.
"How's Yug?" Joey asked with concern.
"He's fine but we need to get the Horus Shadow Puzzle fast, but we still need the Horus Shadow Staff." Seto said.
"Any idea where it is?" Joey asked.
"It's in Jono's old chambers." Seto said.
"Dat's weird." Joey said.
"I know." Seto said.

"I don't know if there's anything we can do to safe your brother. No one here has ever seen this poison." The doctor said.
"A friend of ours who's an expert on poisons told us the antidote and our best friend and cousin are looking for the last thing we need." Yami said.
"Good, because I don't think he'll last very much long." The doctor said sadly.
Yami nodded sadly.

FLASHBACK ON JOEY'S PART, AND DREAM ON YUGI'S PART
Pharaoh Yugi snuck out of the palace dressed as a peasant and was wareing a cloak with a hood and the hood was up, he snuck his horse out of the stable and rode into Cairo.
"Hey, Yugi." Jono said.
"Hey, Jono. Let us go to the duel grounds." Pharaoh Yugi said getting off his horse and tied it to a building.
"OK." Jono said.
A FEW MINUTES LATER
High Priest Seto quickly beat a young boy, as Pharaoh Yugi and Jono walked in.
"I lost." The boy said in disbelieve.
"You did not stand a chance against the likes of me boy." High Priest Seto said coldly.
"Is there no one who will prove to be entertaining?" High Priest Seto asked.
"I will duel you." Pharaoh Yugi said.
"Very well, I hope you prove more entertaining then my last victim." High Priest Seto said coldly.
"Do not worry, I will." Pharaoh Yugi said.
Then several stone tablets appeared in front of Pharaoh Yugi. High Priest Seto gasped in shock.
'He used shadow magic to make those appear. No there is no way this child could perform that level of shadow magic. He does not even have a Shadow Item.' High Priest Seto thought.
"You are right, I do not have a Shadow Item, what I have is a Horus Shadow Item." Yugi said tossing aside his cloak revealing the Horus Shadow Puzzle and his face to High Priest Seto.
"Pharaoh...Yugi?" High Priest Seto gasped out in shock.
"That is right, cousin." Pharaoh Yugi said.
Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle gave of a bright flash and Yugi's eyes started glowing red. Pharaoh Yugi smirked evilly.
"Oh, no." High Priest Seto said.
"What is wrong?" Evil Pharaoh Yugi asked coldly.
"Stop it!" High Priest Seto exclaimed.
"No." Evil Pharaoh Yugi said coldly.
"Please." High Priest Seto pled.
Pharaoh Yugi chuckled evilly. High Priest Seto looked at Jono.
"You! Go to the palace and ask for Pharaoh Yami tell them I sent you. When you see him tell him something is wrong with Pharaoh Yugi." High Priest Seto said.
Jono nodded.
"Right." Jono said.
Jono ran from the duel grounds as fast as his legs would carry him. Jono jumped on Pharaoh Yugi horse and rode to the palace. Jono knocked on the door.
'Where are all the servants?' Pharaoh Yami thought to himself, annoyed by the fact he had to answer the door.
"Pharaoh Yami?" Jono asked.
"Yes." Pharaoh Yami said.
"Something is wrong with Pharaoh Yugi." Jono said.
"Like what?" Pharaoh Yami asked with concern.
"Well, his eyes were glowing red and he was acting evil." Jono said sadly.
"Oh, no." Pharaoh Yami whispered.
"What is going on?" Jono asked in confusion.
"Yugi's darkside has taken over." Pharaoh Yami said sadly.
"Let us go." He said.
Then Pharaoh Yami ran to his horse and got on. Then Jono ran out and climbed on Pharaoh Yugi's horse and he and Pharaoh Yami rode to the duel grounds.
A FEW MINUTES LATER
They arrive near the duel grounds and froze when they heard High Priest Seto cry out. Pharaoh Yami started to run in. Jono got in Pharaoh Yami's way.
"You can not go in there it is far too dangerous. Yugi would never forgive himself if he did anything to you." Jono said.
"I have to." Pharaoh Yami said.
"OK. But, promise you will be careful." Jono said.
Pharaoh Yami smiled at Jono and nodded.
"Of course." Pharaoh Yami said.
"Good." Jono said and stepped out of Pharaoh Yami's way.
Then Pharaoh Yami and Jono ran into the duel grounds. Pharaoh Yami's eyes widen.
"What is with this black fog?" Jono asked in confusion.
"YUGI! END THIS MADNESS AND TAKE US FROM THE SHADOW REALM!" Pharaoh Yami shouted in anger.
"No." Evil Pharaoh Yugi said.
"Then I am sorry, that I must do this." Pharaoh Yami said sadly.
Then Pharaoh Yami raised a hand the Millennium Puzzle glowed brightly.
"Dammit there is to much evil to be imprisoned within one item!" Pharaoh Yami exclaimed in anger.
"Trap part of it in my item." High Priest Seto said.
"Are you sure?" Pharaoh Yami asked with concern.
"Do it." High Priest Seto said.
Then a spirit flame left Pharaoh Yugi, who fell to the ground unconscious. Then all the evil separated from the spirit flame and then turned into 2 spirit flames one slammed into the Shadow Rod, and the other into the Horus Shadow Puzzle.
"Luckily, it will be 5,000 years before they can take over anybody." Pharaoh Yami said.
Then the remaining spirit flame slammed into Pharaoh Yugi who layed unmoving on the ground.
"Agreed." High Priest Seto said.
Jono rushed to Pharaoh Yugi's side and tryed to wake him.
"Uh, guys I can not wake up Yugi." Jono said sadly.
"What!" Pharaoh Yami demanded.
Then Pharaoh Yami ran to his brother, then took one of Pharaoh Yugi's arms and put it over his shoulder.
"Help, me get him back to the palace." Pharaoh Yami told Jono.
Jono nodded, he then ran over and helped Pharaoh Yami get Pharaoh Yugi to Pharaoh Yami's horse, then helped him get Pharaoh Yugi on, and Pharaoh Yami climbed on his horse.
"Come, Yugi may need your help later." Pharaoh Yami said.
"Right." Jono said.
Then Jono climbed on Pharaoh Yugi's horse and Pharaoh Yami holding his unconscious brother in front of him rode towards the palace as fast as he could followed closely by Jono.

"Ya know dere's one ding I gotta say." Joey said.
Then Joey grabbed the Millennium Rod from Seto.
"Considerin' all da evil dat da spirit of da Millennium Rod did, I can only imagine how bad Evil Pharaoh Yugi was." Joey said.
'I wonder.' Seto thought.
Do you remember the insistence between me an Evil Pharaoh Yugi+ Seto asked.

"No." Yugi's doctor said.

Seto and Joey walked in.
"I wanna go home." Yugi said weakly.
"I'll get the papers for you to sign to leave AMA." Yugi's doctor said.
"Thanks." Yugi said weakly as the doctor walked out.
"Hey, Seto, Joey. Did you get it?" Yugi asked weakly with concern.

Joey ran into the room and came out with the Horus Shadow Puzzle. Then Joey took the Millennium Puzzle off Yugi and put the Horus Shadow Puzzle on him.

Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed Yami appeared in physical form and the two evil parts of Pharaoh Yugi combined and Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and Evil Yugi took over. Then Evil Yugi's eyes snapped open. Evil Yugi's eyes were a deep crimson color. But the others didn't notice. Evil Yugi stood up. Joey's eyes widen in shock and looked at Yugi with concern.
"Yug, ya OK?" Joey asked with worry in his voice.
Evil Yugi chuckled evilly. Then his aura turned red and he smirked evilly.
"I'm back once and for all." Evil Yugi sneered.
"Joey, get away from Yugi!" Yami exclaimed.
"Why!" Joey demanded.
"That's not our, Yugi." Yami said.
Joey's eyes widen and he ran over to Yami.
"What do ya mean!" Joey demanded.
"His darkside's taken over." Yami said sadly.
"But, I wouldn't expect you to understand." He said.
"I understand better den ya know." Joey said.
"How so?" Yami asked in confusion.
"Nevermind, right now let's worry 'bout allowin' our Yugi get control back." Joey said.
"You mean that pathetic hiraki of mine." Evil Yugi sneered.
Then Evil Yugi snapped his fingers and Good Yugi could be seen behind him and Good Yugi was unconscious. Joey gasped.
"Yug!" Joey exclaimed.
Joey narrowed his eyes at Evil Yugi.
"What did ya do ta 'im!" Joey demanded.
"As you can see he's in no condion to take control from me." Evil Yugi sneered.
"I'm sure you know what happened last time I took over, brother." He said coldly.
"DAMN YOU!" Yami shouted in anger.
"Getting angry are we, brother?" Evil Yugi asked coldly.
'Good, if he continues to get angrier his darkside will take over.' Evil Yugi thought to himself.
"That baka of a hiraki of mine is never going to wake up, so get used to it." Evil Yugi said coldly.
Yami's eyes turned a deep crimson color.
'That's it.' Evil Yugi thought to himself.
Yami's aura turned red and Seto backed away grabbing Joey by the arm and pulling him away as well.
"What da hells your problem, Kaiba!" Joey demanded.
"Welcome back, Atemu." Evil Yugi said.
"It's good to be back, Atemi." Atemu said.
"That's not our Yami." Seto said sadly.
Atemu and Atemi both chuckled evilly.
"What da hell is goin' on!" Joey demanded.
"Yami's darkside has taken over." Seto said sadly.
Atemu smirked evilly. Seto closed his eyes and crossed his hands still holding the Millennium Rod. Then a bright light emitted from the Millennium Rod and filled the room. When the light faded both Atemu and Atemi passed out. Yami woke up first, he sat up. The deep crimson color had left Yami's eyes.
"Cousin, are you alright?" Seto asked approaching Yami cautiously.
Yami blinked in confusion.
"What happened?" Yami asked in confusion.
"Ya don't remember?" Joey asked.
Yami shook his head.
"It's a side effect of the shadow spell I used, it'll probably effect Yugi as well." Seto said.
Téa ran to Yugi. Yugi groaned, and slowly opened his eyes. No one noticed the dull look in Yugi's eyes. Yugi sat up weakly. The deep crimson color was also gone from Yugi's eyes.
Yugi, are you alright?-
Yugi shook his head.
/I can't see./
"You mean you're blind?" Yami asked with concern.
"Yeah." Yugi said sadly.
"Oh man, Yug." Joey said sadly.
Then Joey walked over to Yugi and helped him up.
"Everything will work out guys, I promise." Yugi said.
"Oh, Yugi." Téa said with tears in her eyes and sadness in her voice.
"It's OK, Téa." Yugi said trying to comfort her.

"Where am I?" Atemi asked in confusion.
"Inside the Horus Shadow Puzzle." Yugi said.

"How you feeling?" Gramps asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Yugi said.
Um, excuse me?
Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and reappeared. Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and Yugi entered it to talk to Atemi.
"That's right I promised to explain things today. You turned evil and Atemu was forced to imprison your darkside within the Horus Shadow Puzzle, your light side was reincarnated. I cast a shadow spell on you to surpress the evil." Yugi said.
"How long ago did I come to be within my puzzle?" Atemi asked.
Yugi sighed.
"5,000 summers." Yugi said.
"What?" Atemi asked in confusion.
"It's been 5,000 summers since Atemu imprisoned you within the Horus Shadow Puzzle." Yugi said.
"What about Jono?" Atemi asked.
"He died, his darkside was imprisoned within the Horus Shadow Staff, his light side was reincarnated. His reincarnation's my best friend." Yugi said.
"I should get out of here before Yami gets worried." He said.
"Yami's alive?" Atemi asked.
"Not quite." Yugi said.
"He died, he had under gone a ceremony to seal the Shadow Realm, when it was finished he was dead and his soul was imprisoned within the Shadow Puzzle. I got it 11 years ago, I put it together 3 years ago." Yugi said.
"He too is a spirit?" Atemi asked.
"Yes." Yugi said.
"Go on." Atemi said.
"Later." Yugi said.
Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and Yugi left it.
"Are you alright, Yugi?" Gramps asked.
"Yeah." Yugi said.
Are you sure, brother?-
/Yeah./
OK.-
/Yami, I...um...used shadow magic./
On who?-
/Atemi./
To what end?-
/To surpress the evil./
Did it work?-
/Yes./
That's great!-
Yami appeared in spirit form. Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and Atemi took control over from Yugi. Atemi looked at Yami.
"Atemu?" Atemi asked in confusion.
Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami took a physical form.
"Atemi?" Yami asked in surprise.
"Yes, it is me brother?" Atemi asked.
"What's going on, Yami?" Gramps asked.
"Do you see that second puzzle around Yugi's neck?" Yami asked.
"Yes, I do." Gramps said.
"That's called the Horus Shadow Puzzle I sealed Pharaoh Yugi's darkside within it and now Yugi has cast a shadow spell on his darkside also known as Atemi." Yami said.
"I see." Gramps said.
:Atemi, the last time I saw you, wasn't exactly the best day of my life.:
#Really?#
Yami nodded sadly.
#I am so, sorry, brother.#
:I know.:
#I did not know what I was doing?#
:I know that, brother.:
#Good.#
:I'm glad that spell, Yugi used on you worked.:
#I know.#
:Treanna is alive again.:
#She is?#
:Yes.:
#How is she?#
:She's fine. But, you should take it easy in Yugi's body he's still recovering from major poison.:
#He is?#
:Yes, he is.:
#OK, brother.#
Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and Atemi turned control back over to Yugi, who nearly collapsed and Yami caught him. Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and disappeared.
Yugi?-
/Yami/
Easy.-
/I'm tired./
Come on.-
Yami took one of Yugi arm over and put it over his shoulder and half-dragged and half-carried Yugi upstairs. Yami put Yugi in bed and under the covers.
Good night, Yugi.-
/Night, Yami./
Yugi closed his eyes and fell asleep. Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami returned to it. Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yugi went into it. Yugi was deep within the Millennium Puzzle and Yami didn't sense him there.
"Yugi!" A mysterious female voice called.
"Hello!" Yugi called out.
Then a Kuribo appeared. Kuribo flew off and Yugi chased after it. They arrived at a room with a Sennen Eye on it, the room was locked.
"You are the key." The voice spoke again.
"Who are you?" Yugi asked and there was a bright flash and Mana the Dark Magician Girl appeared behind him.
"You are the key to open this door." Mana said.
"What is it?" Yugi asked in confusion.
"The Pharaoh's lost memories." Mana said.
Yugi gulped and gripped the doorknob and opened it.
3:45 PM
Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yugi left it and Yugi woke up.
/Yami/
Yami appeared in spirit form. Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami and Yugi went into it.
"Yugi?" Yami asked.
"Are you OK?" Yugi asked with concern.
"All my lost memories suddenly returned." Yami said.
"Dark Magician Girl was right." Yugi said.
"What do you mean?" Yami asked in confusion.
"I talked to her." Yugi said.
"When?" Yami asked.
"A few minutes ago." Yugi said.
"Really?" Yami asked.
"Yep." Yugi said.
"What did you talk about?" Yami asked.
"She said that I was the key to unlocking your lost memories, I open the door she told me to open. Then I left the Millennium Puzzle, and woke up." Yugi said.
"Wow." Yami said.
"I know." Yugi said.
"Are you sure you're OK?" Yami asked with concern.
"Yeah." Yugi said.
"Good." Yami said.
"I do feel strange." Yugi said.
Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami and Yugi left it. Yami was still in spirit form. Yami frowned looking at Yugi with deep concern on his face.
Yugi?-
/It's nothing, Yami./
I have a bad feeling it not.-
/Just relax, Yami./
I'll try.-
/Good. Besides if this is serious, I have a feeling whatever is happening will be a good thing in the long run./
Are you sure?-
/Yes./
OK, I hope your right?-
/I know I am./
Alright.-
Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami took control over from Yugi. Yugi appeared in spirit form. Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yugi went into it. Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami returned to it. Yami started running at full speed, searching the Millennium Puzzle for Yugi. Then he sensed a presence in one of the chambers. Yami opened the door and saw Yugi sitting with his knees up against his chest.
"Yugi?" Yami asked with concern.
"Yami?" Yugi asked.
"What's wrong?" Yami asked with concern kneeling next to Yugi.
"I don't know. I'd better leave." Yugi said weakly.
Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yugi and Yami left it. Yami was still in control. Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami turned control back over to Yugi. Yami appeared in spirit form. Yugi closed his eyes. Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and reappeared. Atemi appeared in spirit form.
"AHHH!" Yugi screamed.
Suddenly a strange purple aura appeared around Yugi, soon the strange aura began to flame. Then there was a blinding flash causing Yami and Atemi to cover their eyes, Yugi stopped screaming then the blinding flash faded revealing a black haired Yugi floating above the floor and he opened his eyes, and they were completely black with appsolutely no white.
Yugi?-
Then Gramps ran in as fast as he could because of Yugi's screaming.
"Yugi?" Gramps asked with concern.
Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami took a physical form. Yugi glared at Gramps coldly.
"Yugi, what's wrong?" Gramps asked with deep concern.
Then Yugi fired an attack at Gramps. Yami jumped in front of Gramps and created a shadow barrier to protect Gramps. Yugi shook his head there was another blinding flash and when it faded Yugi's eyes and hair returned to normal and Yugi was blinking in confusion, sitting on his knees on the floor.
Yugi?-
/What happened/
I don't know.-
/I feel so tired./
Go to sleep, Yugi.-
/OK./
Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and disappeared.
THE NEXT DAY 9:30 AM
Yugi woke up and quickly got dressed.
Yugi?
(Atemi?)
I know what happened to you, yesterday.
(Then tell me.)
You may not remember everything about your life in Egypt. But, we had a sister.
(What does that have to do with what happened to me?)
She was a sourcesses. That happened to her a few times. Where it caused her to lose control, until she was finally able to control her transformation as well as herself. And the pain left her forever.
(Really?)
Yes. But, she soon discovered she couldn't die. Then she disappeared and we never saw her again.
(What was her name?)
Fatima.
(Where do you think she is?)
She's probably somewhere in the Egyptian underground.
The door opened and Rebecca ran in and hugged Yugi. Yugi blinked in confusion because he had ran out of his contacts so his vision was very blurry. Yami appeared in spirit form and frowned at Yugi worriedly.
What's wrong?-
"Yugi!" Rebecca exclaimed.
"Rebecca, what...how?" Yugi stammered.
"Grandpa, needs your help." Rebecca said.
"With what?" Yugi asked in confusion.
"The Egyptian government wants him to escafat the Garden Palace of the Pharaoh." Rebecca said.
/I ran out of my contacts and I can't find my glasses because my vison's to blurry./
Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami took a physical form. Yami walked over to Yugi's desk and searched it for something. Then Yami took out a glass case and walked over to Yugi taking the glasses out and took Yugi's hand in his and put them in Yugi's hand, Yugi unfolded the glasses and put them on. Yugi smiled at Yami. Yami smiled back at Yugi.
"Thanks, Yami." Yugi said.
"You're welcome, Yugi." Yami said.
Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami returned to it.
"Of course, I'll help." Yugi said.
"Great!" Rebecca exclaimed.
"Where is Professor Hawkins?" Yugi asked.
"Downstairs with your grandpa. Uh, Yugi?" Rebecca asked.
"Yes, Rebecca." Yugi said.
"I didn't know you wear glasses." Rebecca said.
"I don't normally. Usually I wear contacts. But, I ran out so, I had to put on my glasses." Yugi said.
"Really?" Rebecca asked.
"Yeah, Joey and the other don't even know." Yugi said.
Are you sure about going back?-
/Yeah, I am./
But, why? What's the point other then the fact our friend is asking for our help?-
"Are you coming Rebecca?" Yugi asked.
Then he turned and headed out of his bedroom, with Rebecca right behind him.
/I have my reasons, brother./
OK, that's fine.-
Yugi and Rebecca walked downstairs.
"Hi, grandpa." Yugi said adjusting his glasses.
"Ran out of your contacts again, huh?" Gramps asked.
"Yeah, and I've decide not to bother with them anymore." Yugi said.
"Alright, then." Gramps said.
"Well, uh Yugi?" Professor Hawkins asked.
"Yes." Yugi said adjusting his glasses again.
"I have a little test I need you to take before we go to Egypt." Professor Hawkins said.
Then Professor Hawkins nodded to Rebecca and Rebecca handed her computer to Yugi.
"You can take it up to you room if your more comfortable that way. But, no cheating." Rebecca said.
"I don't believe in cheating in anything." Yugi said.
Then Yugi walked upstairs and into his room. Then Yugi took off the Millennium Puzzle and put it on the bed. Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and reappeared, then Yugi took it off as well and put it on the bed next to the Millennium Puzzle. Then Yugi walked over to his desk and put the laptop down on it, sat down at his desk and started the test.
3:30 PM
Yugi finshed and came downstairs with Rebecca laptop in hand and handed it back to her.
"All done." Yugi said.
Then Yugi ran back upstairs and put on the Horus Shadow Puzzle. Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and disappeared. Then Yugi put on the Millennium Puzzle. Yugi walked back downstairs and Rebecca and Professor Hawkins were stareing at the computer screen in shock.
"Arther, what is it!" Gramps demanded with worry in his voice.
"It's 550." Rebecca said in shock.
Yugi blinked in confusion.
"What!" Gramps demanded in disbelieve.
"What's going on?" Yugi asked in confusion.
"That test was an IQ test, Arther wanted to see exactly how smart you were, before you went with him to Egypt." Gramps said in shock.
"It's amazing, Yugi." Professor Hawkins said.
"It's even higher then Steven Hawking's." Rebecca said.
Yugi's eyes widen in shock. Then the bell on the door to Kame Game Shop rang and Yugi ran out there and saw it was Joey.
"Hey, Joey." Yugi said.
"Yug?" Joey asked in disbelieve.
"It's me. What? Is it the whole glasses thing?" Yugi asked.
Joey nodded.
"Are ya busy?" Joey asked.
"Not really, just condimplating my future, and talking to grandpa, Rebecca and Professor Hawkins." Yugi said.
"Da Professor's here?" Joey asked.
"Yep, he wants me to go with him to Egypt." Yugi said adjusting his glasses again.
What's an IQ test?-
/Basicly it'll tell you how smart you are./
Really.-
/Yes, the higher the number the smarter you are./
That's amazing.-
/Steven Hawkings is concidered one of the world greatest mind and a genius not to metion he's the world's formost expert on blackholes. His IQ was rate I believe 360./
Wow, and you were 550?-
/Yep./
"I still can't believe how high your score was." Rebecca said walking out.
"Score on what, Yug?" Joey asked.
"Professor Hawkins had me take an IQ test." Yugi said.
"And it said Yugi's a genius." Rebecca said.
Jono, where is Treanna+ Yugi asked.
She will be here any minute, Yugi.+ Joey said.
Yugi smiled at Joey. Joey smiled back at Yugi. Then Yugi's eyes closed then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and reappeared. Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and Atemi took control over from Yugi. Atemi looked at Joey with the deep crimson colored eyes that he had. Joey gasped and back away realizing Atemi had taken over.
Hello, Jono. It's been awhile.+ Atemi said.
Then Atemi created a throne next to Joey and then Atemi jumped over the countor, and landed next to the throne and sat down in. Rebecca blinked in confusion.
When I last saw you, you looked more like this.+ Atemi said.
Then Atemi waved a hand and Joey was dressed as a servant.
(Atemi, cut it out.)
"Oh, sorry, Yugi." Atemi said.
Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and Atemi turned control back over to Yugi.
"Sorry, about him, Joey." Yugi said.
Then Yugi waved his hand and Joey clothes changed back to what they were before Atemi took control.
Sorry, Yugi.
(No harm done.)
I'm glad.
"Yugi, what's that around your neck? It's not the Millennium Puzzle." Rebecca said.
"You're right, Rebecca. Dat's called da Horus Shadow Puzzle." Joey said.
Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and disappeared. Rebecca blinked in confusion.
"It disappeared." Rebecca said in confusion.
"Happens all the time." Yugi said.
"Yugi, what're ya gonna do?" Joey asked.
"I haveta go with Professor Hawkins." Yugi said.
"Why?" Joey asked in confusion.
"I haveta find someone." Yugi said.
"Who?" Joey asked in confusion.
"Family, Joey." Yugi said.
"What're ya talkin' 'bout Yug? Ya ain't got no family in Egypt." Joey said.
"My little sister is, Joey." Yugi said.
"Are you talking about Fatima?" Téa asked walking in.
Yugi nodded.
"But, how?" Téa asked.
"I haveta find her!" Yugi exclaimed.
Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami took control over from Yugi. Yami smiled at Téa.
"I think Yugi needs a breather." Yami said.
Yugi appeared in spirit form.
/We haveta find Fatima/
Using that level of shadow magic in your condition will only make it worse. We'll find her. But, we haveta wait until we go with Professor Hawkins to start. Promise me you won't try anything.-
/OK./
Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami turned control back over to Yugi.
"When do we leave Rebecca?" Yugi asked.
"Tomorrow." Rebecca said.
"My thing's are still packed from my last trip." Yugi said.
Are you sure about this?-
/Yes./
Staying calm is the first step to controling yourself.
(I'll try.)
That's good. Like Yami said we'll find Fatima.
(I know.)
Good.
"Uh, Rebecca?" Yugi asked.
"What is it, Yugi?" Rebecca asked.
"Can you not tell Professor Hawkins about Atemi." Yugi said.
"OK, I won't tell him." Rebecca said.
"Good." Yugi said.
Yugi, it's gonna be fine.-
/I know./
Professor Hawkins walked in.
"What time do we leave?" Yugi asked.

"Why did you deside to go back there so soon? I mean you just got back from there." Gramps said.
"There's someone there who can help me prevent what happened the other day from happening again. I have to find her. Grandpa, please don't ask anymore." Yugi pled.

"It's amazing what exceltine condition the palace is in." Professor Hawkins said.
"I know, it looks just like it did in the old day. Except for the fact that mother's garden is dead." Atemi said sadly.
"What are you talking about, Yugi?" Professor Hawkins asked.
"Our mother died giving birth to us, father commanded that her garden be kept heathly and green so we would all have something of hers. Especially my brother, and I. Now, the only thing we ever had to tie us to her is gone." Atemi said sadly as they arrived at the courtyard of the palace.
Then Atemi got off his horse and lead it into the stable and Professor Hawkins and Rebecca followed him.
:Atemi:
#What is it, Yami?#
:It's nothing. But, Professor Hawkins will notice the Horus Shadow Puzzle soon and we're trying to keep it secret.:
#Right.#
Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and Atemi turned control back over to Yugi. Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and disappeared.
It's good be home.-
/I know./
We should show them around the palace.-
/I know./
"Yugi, are you, alright?" Professor Hawkins asked.
"I'm fine." Yugi said.
"You seemed upset." Rebecca said.
"I was." Yugi said.
"Why? What happened, Yugi?" Professor Hawkins asked.
"I asked Rebecca not to say anything, about a magical item other then the Millennium Puzzle that I possess." Yugi said.
Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and reappeared.
"What is that?" Professor Hawkins asked.
"It's called the Horus Shadow Puzzle." Rebecca said.
"It's a far more powerful version of the Millennium Puzzle. 5,000 years ago I ruled along side Yami. One day I turned evil and Yami had no choise, but, to imprision my darkside within the Horus Shadow Puzzle and Millennium Rod, 3 days ago, my darkside tryed to take over my body. Seto stopped him and traped him back in the Horus Shadow Puzzle. 2 days ago I cast a shadow spell on my darkside and surpressed the evil." Yugi explained.
"I see." Professor Hawkins said.
"He was the one talking about the mother of the Pharaohs." Yugi said.
"Oh my." Professor Hawkins said.
"Come on in, I'll show you around." Yugi said.
Are you sure it's wise to have told him everything?-
/Yes, I'm sure./
OK, if you're sure.-
/I am./
Alright.-
Then they walked in and Yugi started showing them around. Then they bumped into Nabila.
"Hello, Pharaoh Yugi." Nabila said.
"Hello, Nabila." Yugi said.
Tomorrow we should start looking for Fatima.
(I think we should look at night. And start looking tonight.)
Why?
(Professor Hawkins, will need our help escafating.)
Alright, Yugi.
"Nabila, are Yami's and Seto's chambers still prepared?" Yugi asked.
"Yes, they are sire." Nabila said.
"Alright, put Professor Hawkins up in my brother's chambers, and his grand-daughter up in Seto's." Yugi said.
"Yes, sire. Please follow me, Professor Hawkins." Nabila said.
Professor Hawkins nodded and Nabila turned and headed down the hall, and Professor Hawkins followed, Rebecca looked at Yugi a momet before running to catch up to her grand-father. Then Yugi walked over to a statue of Ra. Then Yugi carefully took off the Millennium Puzzle and there was an embosed Millennium Puzzle around Ra's neck. Then Yugi placed the Millennium Puzzle in the embosment. The statue slid back and revealed a dark, narrow staircase. Yugi put the Millennium Puzzle back on. Yugi ran in and then the Millennium Puzzle gave off a bright glow, then Yugi ran down the steps. Then the statue slid back in place. Then Yugi lit all of the torchs using shadow magic and then the Millennium Puzzle stopped glowing. Yugi started running down the corridors.
"FATIMA!" Yugi shouted.
6:30 AM
Yugi was still searching, the Egyptian underground. Then Yugi leans against the wall in exhaustion. Yami appeared in spirit form.
"You're tired. We should head back." Yami said.
"Right." Yugi said.
Then Yugi ran back to the entrance and pushed it open and slipped out before slideing the statue of Ra back into place.
"Yugi?" Rebecca asked.
Yugi spun around.
"Rebecca, what are you doing outta bed? It's late." Yugi said.
"I got lost. I left my room to get a glass of water." Rebecca said.
"I'll show you the way to the kitchen and help you get back to your room." Yugi said.
Yugi started down the corriodor. Followed closely by Rebecca.
"Where does that passage lead?" Rebecca asked.
"Which one?" Yugi asked.
"The one you came out of." Rebecca said.
"It leads to the Egyptian underground. It's an ancient area. There's lots of places down there." Yugi said.
"Like what, Yugi?" Rebecca asked.
"Like the Duel Grounds. Jono use to run it. Before I brought him to the palace to be my personal servant. Jono and I had been best friends for 2 years before he even found out that I was Pharaoh Yugi." Yugi explained.
"Wow." Rebecca said.
"Of course that was a very long time ago." Yugi said.
"Oh." Rebecca said.
"Actually, like me Jono was reborn and you know him." Yugi said.
"I do?" Rebecca asked in confusion.
"Yeah, his reincarnation's name is Joey." Yugi said.
"Really?" Rebecca asked.
Yugi smiled at Rebecca.
"Yeah." Yugi said.
"Cool." Rebecca said.
"Yeah, I know." Yugi said.
Yugi, you're so tired maybe I should take over.-
/OK./
"YU-GI-OH!" Yugi shouted fading to Yami.
"Rebecca, for the last 8 hours Yugi has been searching the underground." Yami said.
"Yugi?" Rebecca asked in confusion.
Then Rebecca gasped.
"Pharaoh?" Rebecca asked.
Yami nodded.
"Yes, Yugi needed to rest so, I took over." Yami said.
"OK." Rebecca said.
"Here's the kitchen." Yami said.
Rebecca ran in and grabbed a drink of water and quickly drank it and ran over to Yami. Then Yami turned and showed her back to her room.
"We're here, Rebecca." Yami said.
Rebecca nodded and walked in closing the heavy door behind her. Then Yami walked to Yugi's chambers and walked in turning control back over to Yugi. Then Yugi walked over to the large table and put his laptop on it and put his glasses on the table and walked over to the bed layed down, Yami appeared in spirit form.
"Good night, Yugi." Yami said.
"Night, Yami." Yugi said half asleep.
Sweet dreams.-
Then Yugi closed his eyes and fell asleep. Yami smiled at the sleeping form of Yugi.
Sleep well.-
And with that the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami returned to it.
THE NEXT DAY
Yugi got up and put on his glass, then he got dressed and walked into the great room, and found Rebecca and Professor Hawkins already there.
"Mourning." Yugi said.
Yami appeared in spirit form.
Did you sleep, alright, Yugi?-
/Yes, I did./
Good.-
Yugi yawned.
"Are you alright, Yugi?" Professor Hawkins asked.
"Yeah." Yugi said.
You sure, Yugi?-
/Yeah, Yami./
Good.-
"What or who were you looking for in the underground, Yugi?" Rebecca asked.
Professor Hawkins raised an eyebrow.
"Underground?" Professor Hawkins asked.
"Yeah." Yugi said through a yawn.
"Let me show you." He said.
"OK, Yugi." Professor Hawkins said.
"Good." Yugi said.
Yugi walked to the statue of Ra and took the Millennium Puzzle off and placed the Millennium Puzzle in the imbosment. Then the passage opened and Yugi put the Millennium Puzzle back on and the three ran into the stairway and the statue slid back into place.
"I hope I find her." Yugi said.
"Find who?" Professor Hawkins asked.
"Fatima." Yugi said.
"Who's Fatima?" Professor Hawkins asked.
"She's the immortal sister of the Pharaohs." Yugi said.
"Really?" Rebecca asked.
"Yes." Yugi said.
There was a bright flash in front of the trio. And a women who looked a lot like Mai Valentine. But, with black hair, she also had those amethyst eyes that her, father, and two oldest brother's have.
"Atemi?" Fatima asked.
"Fatima?" Yugi asked.
Fatima hugged Yugi, and Yugi hugged her back.
"But, how?" Fatima asked.
"Reincarnation." Yugi said.
"Yugi?" Rebecca asked.
"This is the sister of the Pharaohs's." Yugi said.
"She looks like Mai Valentine." Rebecca said.
"Of course I do. She's my daughter." Fatima said.
Yugi's eyes widen.
"Mai's my niece?" Yugi asked in disbelieve.
Fatima nodded.
"Yes." Fatima said.
Yugi gasped, and his eyes narrowed.
"I'll be right back." Yugi said.
Then the Horus Shadow Puzzle flashed and Yugi disappeared. Then there was a flash near Mai and Yugi appeared. Some punk had grabbed Mai's arm and wouldn't let go, he was the leader of a gang of 10 and they were all surrounding them. Yugi narrowed his eyes in anger at the man.
"HEY, HANDS OFF HER!" Yugi shouted in anger.
Mai gasped and looked in Yugi direction and was surprised by the fact it was Yugi.
"Why should I!" The man demanded.
"She's my niece and if you don't you'll regret it for the rest of eternaty." Yugi said in anger.
"Who the hell are you!" The man demanded.
"The name is Yugi, Yugi Motou." He said.
"Did you say Yugi Motou?" The man asked.
"That's right." Yugi said.
"I'll tell you what we'll let her go if you can beat me in a duel." The man said.
"Fine!" Yugi exclaimed in anger.
"There's a dueling areana in that warehouse and we'll play by Duelist Kingdom rules." The man said.
"Fine." Yugi said in anger.
Then Yugi, the man and his gang walked into the warehouse. The man shoved Mai over to one of his men, and the man walked over to dueling arena and put his deck in it's place. Yugi took his deck out of his duel disk and put it in it's place.
"YU-GI-OH!" Yugi shouted fading to Yami.
"Let's duel!" They exclaimed in unison.
"You go first, Yugi." The man said.
Yami drew his hand.
"I summon my King's Knight, which means I can summon my Queen's Knight, and since both are on the field I can summon my Jack's Knight all in defence mode, then I play 3 cards facedown and end my turn." Yami said.
Then the man drew his hand.
"I summon Insect Queen in attack mode and play 3 cards facedown and end my turn." The man said.
Yami drew from his deck.
"I play Pot Of Greed." Yami said drawing 2 cards from his deck.
"I summon Slither The Sky Dragon." He said as the large red dragon appeared in the arena.
"Activate Giant Trunade." He said sending all magic and trap cards to the owner's hand.
"Slither attack his Insect Queen!" He explained.
The man's lifepoints dropped to 1,500.
"It's over." Yami said.
"King's Knight attack his lifepoints directly." He said as his monster attacked the man and the man lifepoints dropped to zero.
"RELEASE HER!" He shouted in anger.
"Do it." The man said.
Then the gang let go of Mai and she ran over to Yami. Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami turned control back over to Yugi.
"Hi, Mai. I was just with your mother." Yugi said.
"You were?" Mai asked.
Yugi nodded.
"Yes." Yugi said.
"Where was she?" Mai asked.
"She was near the Garden Palace enterance to the Egyptian underground. Tell me has your mother ever told you about her oldest brothers Atemi and Atemu?" Yugi asked.
"Yeah, countless times. Why?" Mai asked.
"You may not know this. But, due to your mother's level of shadow powers, she is immortal. Your uncles however weren't as luckly. The fact is 5,000 years ago, your mother and uncles were born. Atemi died and has been reborn. Actually you know him." Yugi said.
"Really?" Mai asked.
"My name 5,000 years ago was Atemi." Yugi said.
"Really?" Mai asked.
"Yes." Yugi said.
"So, you're my uncle?" Mai asked.
"Yes." Yugi said.
"Cool." Mai said.
"I know." Yugi said.
Yugi wiped a tired hand acrossed his face and fell back against the wall in exhaustion.
"YUGI!" Mai shouted with deep concern.
Yugi looked up at her with exhaustion written all over his face.
"When's the last time you had a good nights sleep?" Mai asked with concern.
Yugi chuckled weakly.
"3 months." Yugi said.
"Why?" Mai asked with concern.
"I've been having horrible nightmare, and I haven't been able to really sleep since they started. It started 3 months ago." Yugi said.
"Let me help you." Mai pled with worry in her voice and on her face.
"How can you help?" Yugi asked in confusion.
"I have shadow powers too." Mai said.
"Really?" Yugi asked.
"Yes." Mai said.
"OK." Yugi said tiredly.
Then Mai stepped back, she raised her hand and there was a bright flash and Yugi started to collasp to the ground. But, Mai caught Yugi before he landed. Yami appeared in spirit form looking very worried about Yugi.
Yugi?-
#Yugi?#
Then Yugi's deck flashed brightly and Manari the Buster Blader and Mahando the Dark Magician appeared.
:Who are they:
#You do not recognize them?#
:The only thing I recognize about them is that one of them is a Dark Magician and the other is a Buster Blader.:
#Mahando the Dark Magician was your body guard and closet friend and Manari the Buster Blader was Yugi's.#
:I see, why do you think they're here:
#Because, of what just happened to Yugi.#
Manari walked over and picked up Yugi's unconscious form. Mahando glared at Mai.
"What the hell happened!" Mahando demanded.
"Yugi hasn't slept in 3 months. If he didn't get some sleep soon, he would've died. So, I used shadow magic to make him fall asleep." Mai said.
"MAHANDO, THAT'S ENOUGH!" Manari shouted.
Mahando sighed and looked at Manari.
"You're right, I'm sorry." Mahando said.
Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami took a physical form. Mahando spun around and bowed his head when he saw Yami.
"Hello, old friend." Yami said.
"It is good to see you again, Yami." Mahando said.
"Mai did the right thing." Yami said.
Mahando sighed.
"You are right my Pharaoh my apologize." Mahando said.
"It's alright." Yami said.
"I hope Yugi will be alright." Manari said.
"He should be. Once his body has the rest it needs he'll wake up." Yami said.
Please don't make me into a liar, Yugi.-
Yugi continued to sleep. Manari left carry Yugi and went back to the Garden Palace.
Please be all right, Yugi.-
Manari walked into Yugi's chambers and layed Yugi in the bed.
"Please be alright my Pharaoh." Manari pled.
Please wake up soon, brother.-
Then the Millennium Puzzle flashed and Yami, Mai, and Mahando disappeared. The trio reappeared in Yugi's chamber. Mai went to one of the other bedrooms and set up her laptop. Yami walked over to the desk. Yami turns on the computer and logged into AOL. When he did he saw Téa, and Joey were on.
PharaohOfEgypt: Hey guys.
DancingQueen: What's wrong, Yami?
FlamingSwordsmenOfDomino: Yeah, what's up?
PharaohOfEgypt: Yugi's sick again.
FlamingSwordsmenOfDomino: Damn it, how bad is it dis time?
PharaohOfEgypt: Well, he hasn't been sleeping in 3 months, and he passed out.
FlamingSwordsmenOfDomino: Is he gonna be OK?
Then Yami got IMed by someone not on his buddy list.

HarpieLadyOfEgypt: Hi, Atemu.

PharaohOfEgypt: She's offline now.
DancingQueen: What exactly is wrong with Yugi?
PharaohOfEgypt: He's in a very deep sleep, and I'm worried.
FlamingSwordsmenOfDomino: How'd it happen?
PharaohOfEgypt: Our niece cast a shadow spell on Yugi to help him sleep.
FlamingSwordsmenOfDomino: Niece?
DancingQueen: Fatima has a daughter?
PharaohOfEgypt: Yes, Treanna. Actually you guys know her.
FlamingSwordsmenOfDomino: We do?
PharaohOfEgypt: Yes, Joey.
DancingQueen: Mai's your niece, isn't she?
PharaohOfEgypt: Yes, Tea.
FlamingSwordsmenOfDomino: Mai! As in Mai Valentine!
PharaohOfEgypt: Yeah, Joey.
FlamingSwordsmenOfDomino: Wait, she has shadow powers!
PharaohOfEgypt: Yes, Joey.
FlamingSwordsmenOfDomino: I had no idea.
PharaohOfEgypt: Neither did I.
DancingQueen: Keep us updated.
PharaohOfEgypt: I will.
DancingQueen: Good, bye, Yami.
PharaohOfEgypt: Bye, Téa.
FlamingSwordsmenOfDomino: Bye, Yami.
PharaohOfEgypt: Bye, Joey.
PharaohOfEgypt has logged off.
Yami turned off the laptop. Manari smiled slightly watching Yugi sleep.
"He looks so peaceful." Manari said.
"Yes, I know, Manari." Yami said.
"I just hope I'm right." He said.
"I know you are." Mahando said.
"I hope so." Yami said sadly.
"You must have faith that Yugi will wake up my pharaoh." Mahando said.
"He's right, Yami." Manari said
"OK, if you think it'll help." Yami said.
"It will my pharaoh." Mahando said.
"I know it will." Manari said.
I hope their right.-
A WEEK LATER
Yugi groaned and his eyes slowly opened. Yami had been sitting in a chair next to Yugi's bed watching over him all week and had fallen asleep while doing this.
/Yami/ Yugi asked grogily.
Yami's crimson eyes snapped open.
"Yugi!" Yami gasped in relief.
/Where.../
"Are we?" Yami asked cutting Yugi off.
Yugi nodded.
We're back in the Garden Palace.-
/Good. How long have I been out/
You collasped a week ago, you were in a really deep sleep.-
/Really/
-Yep.-
