"How do you suppose we go about solving this riddle?"Yugi asked. "I don't know yet, but I'm sure we'll figure it out and we'll do it together",Yami replied, smiling down at Yugi.

"Right."Yugi added,"And nothing is going to stop us.",He said returning a smile to his darker half. Yami leaned down to give his little light a hug. His hug was quickly returned and they nuzzled each other, sighing happily and scattering butterfly kisses across each other's faces.

"I can't wait until we find your body Yami. I can't wait for us to be together in the real world.",Yugi said. "Me too love, me too.",The pharaoh answered.

Yugi leaned in to kiss Yami on the cheek, but to his surprise, Yami withdrew from him.

/Yami, what's wrong?/he mind linked to the other looking up at him, beginning to worry for his dark.

/Something's wrong Yugi. I can sense it./he said looking up at the ceiling.

/Yami, are you okay?/

/Yes, but i feel that something's terribly wrong../

/What is it?/

/I don't know Yugi/

/Yami…./

"I've finally made it inside the pharaoh's mind, hehe..",evil Bakura chuckled to himself opening one of the doors to Yugi and Yami's mind.

"This is the pharaoh's soul room? A room with a bunch of toys?!",The spirit inquired.

/The pharaoh's such a child./he thought as he exited the room and went back out to the hallway. He saw another door on the opposite side. Then he finally put one and two together.

/Wait a are two minds in this body. I must've taken a peek into that brat, Yugi's room./

He went to the other door across from Yugi's, opened it, and went inside. The room looked like the chamber of an ancient pharaoh, exactly what the tomb robber was looking for.

/Aha! So this is the pharaoh's mind. I wonder where he is. Probably sitting on his lazy bum, making Yugi feed him grapes../he thought.

The presence of the evil spirit set off and alarm ion Yami's mind.

/Yugi/

/Yes Yami?/

/You must find somewhere to hide!/

/What?! But I want to stay here with you./

/Yugi, please just trust me. Something just isn't right. Ia can sense a dark presence approaching./

/but../

/Yugi please/

/Ok, but promise me you're okay./

/I promise, love/

Yami snapped his fingers and two doors appeared.

"I'm going to go search for this dark presence, while you hide somewhere safe.",he said."Yami, please be careful.",Yugi whispered.

/I promise. I'll be back for you after I take care of this./ Yami mind linked before going through the second door, while Yugi went through the first.

"How many bloody stairs does the pharaoh need to feel important? I mean, come on! Fifty flights of steps?!",the evil Bakura grumbled to himself as he made himself to the top of the landing and walked down the hallway of doors.

/And all these rooms. What does he put in them? Why would someone need all these rooms?!/his mind screamed.

The evil spirit entered a room at the end of the hall. It was empty except for a chair found at the center.

/This had got to be some kind of joke.../,he hissed before leaving the room to enter another, this one having something special for intruders. Upon opening the door a net was dropped over the tomb robber, pinning him to the ground.

/What are you doing in my puzzle?/,a voice mind linked to Bakura.

/Pharaoh?!/, Bakura exclaimed.

/Who else were you expecting? The Dark Magician Girl?/ Yami answered back.

/Of course not. Show yourself!/

"As you wish, thief",Yami responded, emerging out of the dark side of the room into the light."Like I said, what are you doing in my puzzle?!",he asked, this time in a more serious tone.

"Answer this pharaoh", the spirit spat back,"What was your host's body doing passes out in the middle of nowhere, where anyone could get at him?"

/Shit, the park../ Yami's mind cursed.

"That's none of your business",Yami firmly said.

The spirit of the ring cackled evilly at hearing that last thought."Oh yeah? Something tells me you're responsible for that."

"You don't belong here, so I suggest that you stop playing mind games Bakura?", Yami raised his voice.

"Me, play mind games? I'm just saying that brat of yours could've gotten hurt. Who knows, he could be hurt right now. I mean how else did I get here? It's all your fault pharaoh.", Bakura taunted, cackling evilly.

"That's a lie thief!", Yami shouted at the spirit. "Then how did I get in? If you protected Yugi more then I wouldn't be here…",evil Bakura went on. "And when he finds out he'll hate you",he finally said.

"Grrr… MIND CRUSH!",Yami shouted, attempting to banish the spirit from the corridors of his mind.

"You fool. I have my ring to protect me. Despite the fact that my pansy host of mine has it, I can still control it!",the tomb robber chuckled using the ring to deflect the effect of Yami's shadow magic, negating its power.

"Grr.."

"You won't get rid me that easily pharaoh",evil Bakura, finally said disappearing off to another part of the puzzle.

/Yami/

/Yugi?/

/What's going on. Are you okay?/

/Bakura got in./

/You don't mean../

/Yes Yugi, its the spirit of the millennium ring.

/How did he get in?!/

/He must've taken over our body after we descended into the puzzle. Now that we are here, there's no telling what's going on out there. We've started the trials and riddles and there's no leaving now, which means I can't get Bakura out of the puzzle until we complete the trials/,Yami stared.

/You mean we're stuck in here with Bakura until we find your body?/

/Unfortunately, but we can do this Yugi. Together we can do it./

/Where are you?/

/I'm in the intruder trapping room with the net. I'll find you. Just stay where you are/

/The sooner we get back together in here, the sooner we can get together in the real world./

Yami used his shadow magic to make himself vanish from the room he was in and appear in the room Yugi was in.

"Yami!",Yugi exclaimed out loud.

"Yugi!",Yami called back embracing his little one in a warm hug. "You ready to continue our trial?"

"Yes, I'm ready Yami."

/Ok, so I was right. The pharaoh does have a secret. He's in love with his host, an inferior human! This should be nice./Bakura thought. He had been eavesdropping on the two since he escaped Yami.

/It appears that they're trying to use Ancient Restoration to restore the pharaoh's body so they can love each other in the real world. I'll make sure these two fail and and use the Restoration on me so I can abuse the pansy host of mine that I've be forced to give control over our body. Can't wait to have control of my own body. It's been five thousand years since I had my own/,he cackled evilly in the room he was in.

"Yami can you read the riddle again?",Yugi asked."Yeah hold on",Yami responded, taking the scroll out of the tote bag to read it once more."

/Read the fucking scroll pharaoh hehe… So I can get to it first!/ Bakura chuckled evilly to himself.
