Forgotten Memories

"What do you mean 'Who's Joey?'? Your Joey, my big brother."

"I honestly don't remember a little sister, or anything else for that matter."

"It looks as though Medusa's spell to return Joey from being stone must have erased his memories as well."

This is my fault. If I had defeated Medusa perhaps Joey would have become flesh and blood and still have his memories intact.

"I think we're going to have to track down that girl in order to help Joey."

"I'm with Tea. She did this to Joey so she probably knows how to undo it. What do you think Yugi?"

Yugi, who had changed back to his normal self, nodded in agreement. The gang decided that it would be better if Joey stayed with Serenity instead of going out to hunt down Medusa. As Yugi, Tea, and Tristan were preparing to leave Tea's cellphone started ringing. The person calling was Seto Kaiba.

"Kaiba this is Tea, look now's not a good time to-"

"Do you want to know how to help Wheeler or not?"

"H-How did you know that Joey was in trouble?"

"Meet me at Kaiba Corp. Headquarters tomorrow at 8p.m."

After that was said, the signal went dead and Tea delivered the message that Kaiba had just given her.

"How would Kaiba know about what happened to Joey?"

"I don't know. He just said to be at Kaiba Corp. Headquarters tomorrow night at 8."

"We should probably start heading out there now. Serenity take care of Joey while we're gone."

"Sure Yugi, we'll be fine."

Yugi looked at Joey at decided that no matter what he would get Joey's memories back.

"I sent them the message yesterday so the should be here soon."

"I don't like this Seto. It seems wrong to do this to Yugi and Joey."

"I'm not to fond of it either, but this could be my best chance to see whether the King of Games is still worthy of dueling me. Speak of the devil."

As Kaiba and Mokuba looked out of their office they saw Yugi, Tea and Tristan arrive. The three were followed by a girl that Kaiba recognized as Rebecca.

"Alright Kaiba! We're here. Now what is this about?"

"It's been a while, Pharaoh. I hope that you haven't lost your skills."

Yugi immediately recognized this voice, and knew that it did not belong to Seto Kaiba.

"Why have you returned? I thought we destroyed you long ago."

"Your one to talk. Last I remember, you were defeated as well and sent back to your own time."

As transformed into Yami Yugi, the shrouded figure continued walking into the light.

"So tell me, how was your first encounter with a Greek god card?"

"I'm still here aren't I?"

"So you are. Well I assure you that your second encounter won't be as fun."

"So, does that mean we are going to duel?"

"Well I'm going to duel, but you aren't. Instead your going to watch because the person that I want to duel, is your friend Tea."

"Me! You want to duel me?"

"Either Tea duels or Joey's memories are gone for good. So what do you say, my dear?"

With a nod Tea agreed to take on her challenger, knowing already who it was. As the figure removed the hood of his cloak the two duelist prepared for there duel. The duel between Tea and Yami Marik was about to begin.

"Hey, you said your name was Serenity right?"

"Yeah. Like I already told you I'm your sister and you're my brother."

"Oh yeah, sorry about that. It's just I thought I would remember someone as cute as you."

"I'm sure your memories will come back soon. You don't need to worry, Yugi has never let you down before."

"It sounds like with a friend like him and someone like you by me, everything will work out fine."

"That's the spirit. I'm getting kinda tired, is there anything you want before I go to sleep?"

"Yeah, do you think you could sit with me for a little while longer Serenity."

"Sure."

As the Joey and Serenity sat next to each other, Joey realized that for some reason he felt more calm and safe when Serenity was with him. As Serenity started to fall asleep with her head rested on his shoulder, Joey couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was happening at that moment and he was almost certain that he could her a familiar voice crying in pain.

"Is something wrong Joey?"

"Naw Serenity, I'm sure that it was nothing."
