"So you come in here every time there's a duel?" Dark Magician Girl asked, still a little confused.
"Yes. That's right." Yugi answered. "Most of the time."
"So it's like the Lord is protecting you from getting hurt!"
"Most of the time the pha… I mean… your Lord is in the room across the hall. And then I'm in control." He added, watching Dark Magician Girl nod slowly. "He just takes control when we duel."
"So… the Lord likes you? And you talk?"
"Just like I would with any of my friends." Yugi answered. Their bond had grown tremendously over the past few years, especially through the most difficult duels: Duelist Kingdom, Battle City, and the Kaiba Corp. Grand Prix. His friendship with the spirit of the millennium puzzle was one of his most precious treasures.
"Um… then… maybe you can help me." She whispered cautiously, again twirling her wand. It was a nervous habit.
"What do you need?" Yugi asked. The spellcaster seemed so frightened all of a sudden.
Dark Magician Girl swallowed loudly. This was probably the only chance she'd ever have. And given the circumstances, if she said nothing, it might very well be too late! But even if she did tell Yugi everything, there was a chance that he wouldn't believe her. Or worse, he would tell the Lord, and she would be punished for her lack of loyalty.

Yugi nodded.
"Yes…" he whispered back uneasily. Hopefully his partner wouldn't be too concerned if he sensed him gone.
"Then… please come with me. I need to show you. I need to show you everything. And then you can tell the Lord, and…" she leapt up, taking his hand in hers, pulling him forward.
"Wait, wait!" Yugi finally interrupted. "Please, slow down!"
Dark Magician Girl froze, dropping his arm.
"Where do you want me to go?" he asked again. "And just what do you want me to see?"
"The deck." She answered, opening the door that led back into the strange hallway. She wasn't exactly sure how to answer his second question. "And… You'll see enough when you get there…"
