The sunset blazed a bloody trail across the sky, the clouds that were slowly fading burned with crimson fire combined with the orange sun made the sky almost flame. Egypt was bright today and the large palace was busy celebrating, the pharaoh's heir had just been born. Currently, The pharaoh was sat comfortably in his golden throne, stood silently next to him was his twin brother, the fringe blonde and sharp edge, but instead of the magenta tips they were the dusty silver of his mother.

Emerald eyes shone with joy as the pharaoh smiled, the pharaoh's twin would become pharaoh if his twin was killed and would temporarily control everything if his twin was harmed. Darius, for that was the twins name, wasn't at all jealous of his brother, for one, he was older and had refused the throne and two, he was one of those people who liked to stay out of the spot light and silently support his twin. It just made him happy that Atem was happy and Darius would do anything to protect his twin.

"Darius." The pharaoh murmured, his eyes sparkling with joy, the kind of joy that lightened Darius' heart. "Later, wanna come out for a walk with me? I haven't seen Mana in a while."

Darius smiled and nodded. "Of course. We'll have to sneak away from the guards though. They do annoy me." The last bit was said with a deep chuckle that only his twin could pull from his throat. They would have fun running from the guards.

Scene change

"Darius. You don't have to do this. Please don't." The pharaoh choked out, hugging his brother fiercely. They were in the millenium tablet room, Darius was knelt by the tablet pressing a series of heiroglyphs, a secret compartment opened and a small golden ankh appeared, glimmering in the torchlight, the sennen eye on the front. "Please Dari!" He cried, tears making tracks down his golden skinned face, his voice soft and lost like a childs, even using Darius' old nickname

"Come on 'Tem. I asked for this, Don't make this hard for me!" Darius replied despairingly and with one last hug which seemed to end too soon, he threw his arms high into the air. The eye of Horus shone on his forehead and a dark gray substace was pulled from his body in streams, bleeding from all of his pores until blood bled out, leaving the teen screaming in pain. The pharaoh trembled hearing his twin's screams, he stroked the bronze skin with his thumb, humming an egyptian song to block it out, shaking with the force of his sobs.

Atem heard Darius gasp for breath as death reached out with icy fingers, with his last breath the twin to the pharaoh said. "I love you, Little bro." Atem cried out and clutched the body close to his heart, stroking the ankh with a forefinger. His cries echoed throughout the kingdom and the gods mourned with him, thunder rolling across the previously sunny day.

A week after the dinner
10 am

Yami shot up, his body shuddering as his body caught up with the cold, he was laying on the bed, the bronze skin on his naked body pimpling in goosebumps as the cold air from the open window brushed across him. Yuugi was rested against his abdomen, one hand curled possessively around his hip and a bit of white around his lips, Yami knew what that was. Yami groaned softly, rubbing his temple and his mind finally caught up with him and the dream flew through his mind once before the door slamming open banished his thoughts.

"Woah, I must say. I like you like this pharaoh." Bakura said, his eyes amused as he looked at the same stain on Yami's stomach

Yuugi shot up at this and gave a purely animalistic growl, his eyes half closed. "He's mine Bakura. Don't. You. Dare." As he was saying this the smaller boy stoodup with a sheet around his waist and a spare in his hand, which he threw to Yami, who caught it amusedly, and grabbed Bakura's collar, slamming him into the wall with suprising strength. Bakura nodded, looking cowed.

Ryou's darkness backed away as Yuugi let go and Yami gave a soft laugh at his Hikari's actions. Bakura gave a breath and murmured. "Breakfast is ready then were free to go wherever we want."

Yami nodded and got up with the white sheet around his waist, he went into the bathroom and used a flannel to wipe the stain off his stomach before he went to get dressed in his normal attire, a black leather shirt and pants as well as the dog collar, the millenium puzzle and a dark blue jacket. He came out from the adjoining bathroom and kissed Yuugi, his eyes dark with love. He shifted away and allowed Yuugi to change as he went downstairs with Bakura, he could hear the rest in the kitchen chatting quietly. He grinned as he entered and pulled some buttered toast from the rack, he had just taken a bite when a yell from next door echoed through the paperthin walls.

"HARRY JAMES POTTER." Yelled a female voice. "GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW AND GIVE ME A HUG. YOUR DUEL WITH ECHO IS STARTING SOON. "

Yami turned and blinked at his family, wrinkling his nose in confusion, he didn't get to ask anything as a deep, melodic voice answered. "Valery, the walls are paper thin and I'm in the shower." Harry's voice replied lowly.

"OOH! CAN I JOIN YOU?" The girl, Valery, mock-pleaded

"Of course." Harry's voice said in a seductive tone. Everyone believed him for a split second before he yelled. "NO. DAMMIT!"

Yami blinked silently, his eyes suprised as he glanced around. "Ooo..kay, what was that about?"

"I don't know." Yuugi's grandpa said bewilderedly. "Go have a look."

Yami nodded his head and went to the door, he pulled it open and peered out, glancing to next doors house. Standing in the doorway, was a brown haired girl and a hat on. She reminded him of Mana, bouncy and hyper.

A few seconds later, Harry exited the house, wearing a pair of dark jeans, some boots on his feet and a tight white shirt, a jacket slung across his arm, he gave Val' a one-armed hug and shut the door behind him, the ankh glinted in the light, bringing back his dream.

Yami slipped back inside the house and rubbed his head, finishing up the toast and looking to his feet in thought. 'It can't be. No. No. It's not. Its just my imagination.' and that was that. All thought was banished from his mind and the maze that was his took the memory with ease.

Harry placed down The Rock Spirit in attack mode, Molten Zombie and a face down card. He looked at Echo and grinned before saying. "Your turn."

Echo looked at his hand and hmmed in his throat. "Okay, I play Rogue Doll in attack mode and place down two face down. I end my turn."

Harry drew a card and flicked through his hand. "I'll attack with The Rock Spirit and that defeats your Rouge doll. That takes 100 life points, leaving you with 2900 then I attack with Molten zombie. Leaving you with 1300."

Echo glared good naturedly and drew a card. "I play Mask of Darkness and Meda Bat and show my face down card, Fissure. It destorys 1 opponeny's face-up monster with the lowest attack, Thats your Molten Zombie. Then I sacrifice both cards to summon the red eyes black dragon. then I attack The Rock Spirit and that leaves you with 700 life points."

Harry worried his lip and drew a card as his duel monster spirit appeared, Black Luster Soldier. The red haired warrior pulled off the helmet and the face of a guy appeared, red-on-black eyes sparkling. "My Master, perhaps you should play those cards then sacrifice them to summon that and then.."

Harry flashed a smile to his duel monster spirit, eyes sparkling. "Oh.. Right, I get it."

Harry spoke then. "I play Liquid beast and Griggle before sacrificing them to play Gaia the Fierce Knight then I play Reinforcements, which gives Gaia 500 more attack points. I attack Red eyes with Gaia, destorying him and taking 400 life points. I lay down Three-headed Geedo and attack your life points directly. I win."

Echo smiled in an annoyed manner before huffing and collecting his cards. "Good game, Potter." He said before disappearing. Harry turned to Black Luster Soldier and smiled.

"Thank you and please don't call me master." Harry murmured to the spirit, going over to the cafe and ordering a coffee. Harry sat at a table in the corner and sipped the hot coffee slowly.

"What would you wish for me to call you?" Black Luster Soldier spoke, his voice deep and rumbling.

"Just Harry, What should I call you?" Harry spoke, pretending to sip his coffee.

"Back in my home dimension I was named Lucas." He said gently.

"Okay, Lucas it is." Harry said, finishing his coffee and walking slowly back to his house.

"Harry, how is it you allow your uncle to harm you?" Lucas said carefully, his eyes focused on a new bruise at Harry's wrist.

"Allow? I don't allow him to harm me, it's complicated." Harry growled indignantly then wrinkled his nose in confusion as he realized. "Anyway, how did you.."

"I am your duel monster spirit. I am you in a sense, I know what you do and you know what I do, you just have to tap into it." Lucas said not unkindly. "Try it."

Harry closed his eyes for a second, drifting through his mental defenses and searching through the doors in his mind, somehow his mind had turned into a labyrinth of stone walls, each door full of traps and defenses, only three doors had stuff in, one locked one with a weird horus' eye that he couldn't get in it but it showed signs of opening everytime he touched the handle, because little gold lines - like veins - moved up the door and it rattled. Another was his soul room, the room edged with weapons, music and the floor littered with duel monster's cards. The last one was a purple and gold door with sparks of red on the door, Harry went up to it and pushed it open. Stood in the middle with sword in hand was Lucas.

"Here." Lucas said, pushing Harry lightly towards another door, the door slammed open and Harry fell in it. Knowledge flooded his system, foreign knowledge, ancient knowledge, forbidden knowledge. He felt himself being ejected from the door and put infront of the locked door, he felt and impulse to touch the golden door knob and as he did the door pushed itself opened and an egyptian styled room, decorated with gold and white with heiroglyphs littering the walls. Two throne-like chairs were in the middle and at the edge was an opening with the same eye on it. Harry looked at it with calculating eyes before something in his mind broke, like a wall or something. Memories came flooding back and a voice whispered 'Darius'

Darius that was his name now, he wasn't Harry any longer. He didn't feel like a Harry, Harry was a golden boy, a little weapon, an abused guy and an angst-ridden, angry teenage boy. Darius was a 5,000 year old twin to the pharaoh, a powerful shadow mage, a strong and powerful guy all around with some serious skills in duelling, even though that was shared by both.

he withdrew from his own mind and found Lucas gone and him sat on a swing in the park. He glanced around, everything was weird now. He saw everything different and felt so ancient. Darius's eyes caught something and he turned towards it, a memory floated foward and he murmured. "Little brother." It took a second but rationality came back to him and he decided that it wasn't a good idea just to come up to someone and say 'Hi, I'm your big brother' not in those exact words of course, but either way, doing that would be a bad idea.

Lucas appeared, his helmet in his arms. He lifted up a hand and pointed out in the distance, Darius followed the arm with his eyes and saw the Order stalking towards him, Darius smiled thankfully and slipped from the swing, Lucas glanced around swiftly before speaking. "There is a hiding place there, I'll use a Kuriboh to distract them." As soon as Lucas finished speaking, Kuriboh appeared and bounced off, it multiplied until there was three on each leg of every person. Darius slipped from the shadows and went to the edge of the park, leaning on the bars and he pushed himself over it, he managed to get out of sight before he was cornered by his new neighbours, of course, they didn't look very friendly at the moment.
