A/N sorry about the delay guys! But I hope to make it up to you with one awesome chappy!

Chapter # 7

Forgotten Past

Everything was hazy, but everything soon came into focus.

"Wh…where am I?" I asked rubbing my eyes

Taking a good look around I saw nothing but a strange purple fog, and when I looked down it was as if I were floating in mid air. There was no ground that I could see.

Am I floating?

"You are at the border of the human and monster world" a strangely familiar voice said behind me.

Turning around I saw a women. She wore a pink and blue dress, with a blue cone headdress on. Wait! I recognized her! She was one of the monsters in Yugi's deck!

"I am here to help you" she said in a soft voice.

"Help me with what?"

"Help you recover your memory .As you recover your memories your ancient powers will grow. But I can only recover tiny bits at a time and my visits would not be very often. It takes a great amount of my power to come here and meet you so I can only do it every so often"

"Where is here?"

"This is the border of the monster and human world. Only few have the power to come here"

"How is it that I have the power to come here? I'm just a human, an ordinary human, I have no special powers"

At this she only smiled.

I figured this was the only answer I was going to get from her so I asked another question, hungry for information

"Who is this other part of me? The one that took control of my body the other day?"

"It is your ancient spirit and the key to unlocking your memories"

"Okay so I have an ancient past?"

"Yes"

"So what's with this whole 'worlds' thing?"

"Well first you need to know that there are two worlds. The human's world and the monster's world. But in the beginning there was only one world"

"One world?"

"Yes humans and monsters used to live in the same world in harmony, but then the humans forced us to leave, therefore we had to create a new world to become our new domain."

Hmm not that much information but that will do for now…I want to know…did she know him?...

"Sorry to change the subject but did you know Yami? Or actually the ancient pharaoh who shares a body with my friend Yugi?"

"Yes. I new him back when humans and monsters lived together peacefully. He called upon me often in his duels and we became very good friends"

"Did I know him?"

"Yes. You knew him very well. Better than anyone else in the world"

Arrrgggg this is so frustrating! I wish I could remember! So I could help him to remember. Even the tiniest detail would help. But I can't remember a thing!

"I must go now" she whispered breaking into my thoughts.

"What? Why?" I asked not wanting her to leave. Hundreds of questions where swirling around in my head. I needed them answered.

"You are about to wake up" she answered simply.

"Oh" I said stupidly, "what if this is all just a dream" I asked myself.

"Whether it's a dream or not is for you to decide. I'm so sorry about this. But the best way you can get through this is to live your life in the human world as normally as you can," then she muttered "while you can…"

It was as if someone had pressed a 'zoom out' button, because she suddenly started getting further and further away.

"Wait!" I called after her, and she paused for a moment. "What do you mean 'while I can'?"

She just smiled and murmured "goodbye Shelby, till next time"

The dense fog that had grown around us started to clear, and I opened my eyes…

Sun was pouring threw my windows. And I sat up in bed rubbing my eyes. I squeezed my eyes shut trying to remember every last detail. But there was something there that I did not remember even dreaming. It was like a clip of a movie, but I was in it.

People and monsters where running everywhere, the humans chasing the monsters telling them to leave this place. I was yelling at someone, but I couldn't see their face. It was too blurry.

"Please make them reconsider!" I demanded

"You know I can't do that!" the person yelled back "I can't go against my people!"

I was crying now

"Please you have to do something! If you don't I will have to open a portal to another world, and then we'd never see each other again. I can't bear a life without you! "I sobbed clinging to the man (I figured that much out) in a desperate embrace.

He hugged me fiercely back.

"No matter what and no matter where, I will always be with you. You will never be alone," he buried his face in my hair, and I could feel drops of water splashing on my face, he was crying, "I love you" he murmured.

"I love you too" I said having calmed down a bit by his words. "Maybe I could come visit you"

He grinned and held me at arms length taking in one final look at the appearance he may never see again, "I'd like that"

With that my figure ran off. I closed my eyes and held my palms out chanting words in a foreign language.

A glowing blue light appeared from my hands gradually growing larger and larger, until it looked like a giant circle.

"Come this way! Enter the portal" I called to the monsters. One by one they dashed into the portal.

Running back to him we shared one last searing kiss before I ran off into the portal following the others to a world were hopefully we would be accepted. The portal closed in a blinding flash of light.

I saw no more.

I blinked a couple times.

"It was a memory" I whispered to my empty room. "Not a dream"

Remembering what Yami told me last night about telling him if anything funny happened I leapt out of bed and ran out the door. I ran all the way downstairs nearly tripping on Disco, my pet cat. Wasting no time on telling my dad where I was going I ran threw the door and down the street to Yugi's house, seeming to everyone I passed a blur of colour.

When I got to his house I rang the doorbell several times hurriedly. After what seemed like a lifetime a very sleepy looking Yugi opened the door.

"Yugi! I need to talk to you and Yami right now!" I gasped.

Yami materialized beside him.

-What is it? Are you okay?-

"Something happened" I told them.

Yugi led me through his house to the living room. When we sat down I proceeded to tell them all about my dream and memory.

-So you have an ancient past but you've lost your memories?- Yami asked –but how come you look so young? I mean you must have lived hundreds of years and you aren't sharing a body with someone-

"I don't know. I've grown up like a normal person"

"Do you know the woman's name?" Yugi asked

"Oh um no I don't but I think…could I see your deck for a minute?"

"Sure" he replied and gave me his deck out of his back pocket.

I flipped through his deck quickly and spotted the card. "I was her" I showed the two.

"Dark magician girl?" Yugi asked

"Yup"

-Yugi and I have been to the Monster world. We got sent there by Dark magician girl to free a dragon and save both our worlds- Yami said softly

"She said she knew you when you were Pharaoh Yami" I said.

We all sat in thought for awhile. Finally Yugi got up.

"Well we've been talking pretty much all morning, so Shelby do you want to stay for lunch?"

"Sure!" I smiled glad to be thinking of something else.

Soon we were sitting around Yugi's kitchen table munching on turkey sandwiches.

"Well if she comes back what do you think you want to ask her?"

"Oh my gosh there are so many things!" I exclaimed "like what kind of monster was I? How powerful was I? What was my relationship with Yami and that mystery guy I told you about?" Yami looked a bit uncomfortable about the mystery guy part. Hm wonder why… I continued "How did I get here? What is my purpose here? Why did I leave?"

"Okay! Okay! Slow down" Yugi chuckled.

I blushed "sorry but I'm just so interested!"

For the rest of lunch we sat in silence.

A/N well I finished that in a hurry! LoL anyways if you have trouble understanding anything about the dream of what to find out about a particular part of Shelby's past let me know in a review and I explain it to you and put the part you want to see in her next 'dream'. Anyways …
