Mijikai: I'm really, really sorry! I know it's been months since I last updated, but, in truth, I had some very bad writers block. I didn't even know the plot for heavens sakes! Fortunately when I was listening to the disc Dueling to Music, I just figured one out when I was listening to No Matter What, and know, hopefully, chapters will come more swiftly.

Mamoru: Well, let's get started, na?

Mijikai: Right! On with the fan fic! ************************************************************** "Anzu!" Yugi shouted, with stunned surprise.

There in the shadows was a young woman who had brown hair to her shoulders and wore a sleeveless shirt with a mini skirt that was lime green. Her eyes were cerileun and her gaze locked onto his. She smiled gently.

"I'm sorry, you must have me mistaken with someone else. My name is Tamai," she introduced as she stepped out of the shadows.

Now that she was exposed with the light, Yugi know could see that she wasn't Anzu but someone else.

"Who are you and what is your buisness here?" Yami asked, suspiciously.

She looked at him with surprise at his coldness and she cast her eyes down, not being able to hold his gaze. Yugi noticed her discomfort and touched her hand lightly.

"Don't mind Yami, we've been having trouble with some...certain people, so he's a bit suspicous with anyone with...magic."

She smiled down at him and placed a hand on his head.

"So your the famous Yugi."

"Hm?"

"Never mind."

An uneasy silence fell over them as they were unsure on what to say.

"Hey, uh...you seeing anyone?" Jou asked suddenly.

"Yes, actually."

"Oh...bummer," he muttered.

Yugi laughed as he caught that.

"I thank you for saving our lives," said Yami suddenly. "Though I would like to know more about you."

"All you need to know is that I'll be watching you two and I will come when help is ever needed. Especially you...young pharaoh."

Yami's gaze latched onto her's.

"What do you know of me being pharaoh?"

"That is for you do figure out, young Yami..." she said as she started melting into the shadows.

"Wait! Tell me what this all means! How am I pharaoh!" Yami shouted after her.

"Follow you heart," is all they heard, before she was gone.

"What...was that all about?" Jou asked as he sweatdropped.

"I don't know. Yami?" Yugi asked as he eyed the spirit who stood there staring at where Tamai had been.

"Yam..."

"Yugi! I just had an urgent call and...I...my word..."

All three looked up towards the elevator and Yugi smiled sheepishly as his jijian looked from Yami to him then back again.

"There's two of you!" he shouted, before fainting.

All three sweat dropped as Yugi went to his jijian and tried waking him up.

"Uhhhh...I think Shizuka is wanting me right now, bye!" said Jou as he ran down the hall.

"Jou! Wait!" Yugi yelled, but he already disappeared. "Yami, help me pick him up and we'll place him on the bed."

Yami nodded and scooped him up and carried him to one of the beds, while Yugi wetted a towel and placed it on Sugoroku's brow. After an hour or so, Sugoroku stirred and opened his eyes to see the eyes of a very concerned Yugi.

"Yugi? Ooooo. I just dreamed that I saw two of you in the hall."

"Uhhhhhh, Jijian, there's something I need to tell you. There is two of us."

"WHAT!"

"Calm down Jijian," Yugi soothed as he gestered Yami to come into view. "This is Yami."

"Greetings sir."

Sugoroku studied him and gave Yugi a curious glance.

"Where did he come from? How did he get here? Why haven't you mentioned this before?" he asked question after question.

Yugi looked really uncomfortable, so Yami put a hand on his shoulder.

"Sir, I think it best for one question at a time. Aibou can't answer them all at once."

Sugoroku sighed, and nodded as he forced himself to become calm.

"Alright. First things first. Who are you?" he asked as he eyed Yami.

"I am Yami, I was freed from the puzzle when you're grandson solved the puzzle earlier."

"Well that explains a few things. Yugi, why didn't you tell me there was a spirit living in the puzzle?"

"I'm sorry Jijiian, but I didn't think about it till now," Yugi said sheepishly with a faint tinge of pink on his nose.

"Ah, Yugi. You don't seem to tell me anything anymore," he said sadly. "It almost seems like you don't trust me."

Sugoroku immeditally regreted saying that as he saw horror fill Yugi's face and tears of shame filled the tips of his eyes. Yami immeditaly put an arm around his shoulders and murmured things that he thought would soothe him, but he seemed in a trance. Sugoroku stood and looked him straight in the eye.

"Yugi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. I just feel useless...that you're hurting and I can't do anything about it. There are many secrets I bet you keep, like Yami, but this one I'm not concerned about mind you."

Yugi couldn't help but smile at that statemeant.

"But what I do mind is that I don't know if the secret is something dangerous to you. If it is, I want to help you. Don't push me away, please."

Yugi nodded, and wipped his eyes.

"I"m sorry, it's just...I don't want to be a burden to you, Jijian. You already do so much for me. I just don't want to trouble you with anything else."

"That is what I'm here for Yugi. To help you."

"And I," added Yami.

Yugi smiled as he jumped into his Jijians arms, and felt someone hugging him from behind. It actually felt...nice. For some reason, deep inside, he felt...happy. But wasn't he already happy? He shrugged it off and just slipped into the comfort of the embraces.

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

Mijikai: -_- Not very exciting but it will improve when I have more time to think. ^_^ Promise!

Yami: That's a finally. I bet they thought you abandoned it.

Mijikai: (looking shocked) Of course not! I would never abandone a fic...

Yami: How about all those binder full that are incomplete?

Mijikai: They suck.

Yami: Ha! You admitted it.

Mijikai: Shut up!

Yugi: (sweatdrop) Well until next time! And we apologize again for the long wait.
