Hello everyone
I'm back again with chapter 3 \/
Thank you for all the wonderful reviews
They make me very happy
I forgot a very small detail about Yugi before. He has a half moon in his forehead, colored silver, in both his forms. In the middle there's a small circle, or dot, also colored silver. I had completely forgotten about it, 'til I was going to scan the pictures of Yugi to the computer, but now you know ;
Oh, well, better let the chapter start

Chapter 3 Yugi's past and only hope
"Hello, I'm Yugi Shinzui. It's good to finally be able to talk to you" he said smiling sweetly.
Yami stared wide-eyed at the boy before him and the others. He just couldn't believe it. One second Hikari had been on that rock, then that bright light, and the next second this boy was there instead of Hikari. Even Bakura, Marik and Anna looked completely shocked.
"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" Yugi asked. Yoh was the first one to say anything, on second thought he hadn't looked hocked at all.
"What just happened? What are you?" he asked Yugi. Yugi smiled sadly, the smile was almost sorrowful. "I'm sorry" Yugi shook his head.
"It's alright. You have the very right to ask me those questions, Yoh Asakura" he replied. "But I'd rather explain this at the camp, and when the others' come out of their shock" Yugi said with a slight giggle. Yoh looked at the others and nodded. Yugi walked over to Yami and looked at him very curiously. Yami stared back at his look a like. The silver half moon was almost hidden under his blonde bang that hangs down in his face. Yami swallowed hard, and he felt heat come to his face. Yugi drew back and walked over to Yoh.
"Should we go back to the camp now?" Yoh asked, as the others were back to normal. Yugi nodded, and began to walk. The others didn't know what else to do then follow him, it was after all their camp. Yami was right behind Yugi and Yoh. He watched every move Yugi made, his movements elegant, he didn't make any sound as he walked. He looked around, listening and looking for any danger.
Back at the camp, they sat down around the fire. Yugi sat on the ground, as did Yoh. The others looked at Yugi, their eyes said everything Yugi wanted to know. They wanted to know the truth about him, why he was like he was and what he was….with other things….
"Well, as I told you before I'm Yugi Shinzui. I think I'm 17 years old, but I'm not sure. I'm here from Japan. As for what I am…I guess you could call me cursed…" he started.
"WHAT?!" Amidamaru and Yoh yelled at the same time. Yugi smiled sadly again.
"Yeah, I've been like this every since I was born. It's hard for me to know what I really am sometimes" Yugi said with a sad laugh.
"Who did this to you?" Yami asked, so silent it was close to a whisper. Yugi heard it though.
"My mother…" he admitted, pain obvious in his voice. Everybody gasped, save for Anna, Bakura and Marik.
"Why? I mean you're her child" Ryou asked horrified.
"I know… My father died before I was born, or so I've heard…My mother married a man named Rau. He already had a daughter named Fei"
"Rau?" Bakura asked, before he burst into a fit of laugher.
"Did you just say Rau? Where've I heard that name before?" Anna asked.
"Probably from your friends. He's from a very powerful Shaman family, and a very cruel Shaman. My mother wanted more power, so she married him. As soon as I was born, she did this to me. I'm not a Shaman and she couldn't stand the thought of me being her child. She told my Grandpa that I died during labour, and had me as a pet" Yugi spat the last part out. "During nights she made me do all kinds of slave duties, as well as Rau and his family. I'm lucky I've survived this long"
"You've lost me. Didn't she make you into that animal?" Malik asked.
"Yes, when I was younger I couldn't change back at all. My power, or energy, was too weak. As I grew older I was able to become human when the darkness of the night came. I ran away some days ago, those puppets were after me. My mother probably sent them as soon as she discovered that I was gone. She'll probably send more of those or other Shamans after me"
"Shamans?" Malik asked. "You've said that word a couple of times now, but what is it?" Yugi looked at him stunned, then he looked at Yoh.
"They don't know what a Shaman is. Should we tell them, Yoh? Or would that put them in further danger?" Yugi asked.
"I don't think they'll be in more danger, then they already are. We can tell them" he said, looking at Anna.
"Whatever, just do as you please, but don't come to me later and ask for help" she said.
"Okay a shaman is a person who combines this world with the other. We can fuse with ghosts or fuse them with an object" Yoh explained.
"'We'?" Yami asked. Yoh nodded.
"Yes. I'm a Shaman. Amidamaru here is my ghost partner. Anna is an Itako, she can summon spirits from everywhere, even from the other side" Yoh explained.
"I see. So what did you do before when that dog was about to bite us?" Yami asked.
"Me? I didn't do anything" Yoh admitted. Yami blinked confused, and kinda freaked out.
"Then who did? Where did that black light come from?" he asked. He looked at Yugi, who shook his head.
"It was the great Dark God himself" Yugi stated. Everybody stared at him.
"'The great Dark God'?" Anna asked.
"Don't worry. I' m talking about the Great Pharaoh of Khemet. The only one that can all kinds of magic, the only one to control Shadow magic, and summon the almighty gods. And the only one that can save me" Yugi said lovingly. Yami felt a bit of pain in his chest. Was this jealousy? He couldn't have fallen for this boy, or could he?
"Why can only he save you?" Ryou asked curiously.
"'Cuz he's my soul mate…" Yugi said. "I was on my way to find a ship or a jet that was going to Egypt, when I ran into you"
"Egypt was called Khemet before, when the Pharaohs ruled, but there hasn't been any Pharaohs in Egypt for thousands of years" Anna stated.
"I am well aware of that" Yugi said, smiling. "I just have to find his tomb, and find him, the rest should fix itself. My Pharaoh's spirit should still be there" Yugi said, again lovingly. Yami felt that pain in his heart again.
'Dear lord, I've fallen in love with him' Yami thought.
"How are you gonna find the tomb? I don't think that you find it, even if you're partly a Spirit beast" Anna said.
"Oh, that's easy. All I have to do is to get there, then Shadi will take me there"
"Shadi?" Yoh asked.
"He's the protector of the Pharaoh's tomb and the god himself" Yugi explained.
"I see. So all we have to do is to get you to Egypt and find that Pharaoh's tomb" Yami said. Yugi's eyes widened.
"No! I can't let you get into this much of danger. This is my problem, I won't let you take that risk, I just won't" Yugi protested.
"Listen, I don't care about the risk or danger, you need our help" Yami said sternly. Yugi's smile finally showed happiness instead of sorrow and sadness.
"Thank you. I really appreciate it. You don't know how much this means to me" he said, a silver tear falling to the ground, hitting a leaf. The leaf suddenly made a noise and was engulfed in a white light.
"Oh dear…" was Ryou's reaction. Yugi sighed.
"This is nothing. That intense light I emit when I change is furioku. It's the energy Shaman's use to fuse the ghost with himself or herself or an item. If a Shaman is within that light I can give them plenty of more furioku, this is one of the reasons Hanako made me into a Spirit beast, instead of some other animal or killed me…" Yugi gave a small, startled 'eep' as Yami put his arms around him. Yugi's face turned as red as a chilli fruit.
"I won't let anything happen to you, little one. I promise I won't…"
"Do you really need to go to his tomb? I can summon his spirit you know" Anna said. Yugi shook his head.
"You can't…He's too powerful for mortals to summon. He is a god after all. By the way if he was able to summon, don't you think that Hanako, Rau and his family would have done it already and done something to him?" Yugi asked, with an eyebrow raised.
" I guess" Anna replied.
"We should try and get some sleep. It's morning soon and I won't be in this form for long" Yugi said. The others nodded. They went to their tents and said 'good-night'. Yugi looked for a comfy place to sleep at the fire. Yami looked at him.
"Why don't you sleep with me in my tent? It's enough place for us" he said. Yugi blushed, but nodded never the less. He liked Yami, he couldn't deny it. "My friends should come tomorrow. One of them should be able to take us to Egypt" Yugi's face lit up and he smiled cutely.
