Daylight: okay, I forgot this in the earlier chapters so here it is now:

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh. On a brighter note though...

It's November 14 today and it's my birthday! So as a present from me to you, here's chapter 4 of the story. Enjoy!

Chapter 4 Evil Makes Its Appearance

Soraya: 8000

Kaiba: 8000

"I play one monster in defense mode and end my turn." Soraya said.

"I summon Spear Dragon!" Kaiba said. "Its effect allows it to deal damage even when the monster is in defense mode. Attack!"

"That was Fire Sorcerer." Soraya discarded two cards.

Kaiba growled. "My Spear Dragon automatically goes to defense mode and I end my turn."

"I summon my own Spear Dragon." Soraya grinned as Kaiba scowled. "I believe you know what it does, Spear Dragon, attack!"

Soraya: 7600

Kaiba: 5300

Soraya grinned. "Two cards facedown and end my turn."

Kaiba drew, rather pissed off that his opponent had gotten such an early lead. Well, that would change. Soon. He looked at the cards at his hand. He smirked."One card facedown and I summon Battle Ox in attack mode to get rid of your Spear Dragon and play Ultimate Offering to set this monster. End turn."

Wary, Soraya drew her next card. "I play Maha Vailo in attack mode and equip him with Book of Secret Arts. Attack Battle Ox. Another card facedown and I end my turn."

"I summon Lord of D. in defense mode and play Flute of Summoning Dragon to summon two Blue Eyes White Dragons!" Kaiba gave his confident smirk. "But I'm not finished, I flip my facedown monster to reveal Trap Master to destroy one of your trap cards. Since none are face up, I'll choose the one on the left."

Soraya's eyes narrowed as she revealed the facedown card to be Mirror Force. It disintegrated.

Kaiba still had more. "I sacrifice Trap Master to activate Crush Card. Its virus rampages through your deck, making all your monsters with over 1500 attack points useless. Which means, say goodbye to your pitiful spellcaster," Kaiba's grin widened as Maha Vailo vanished. "Now my dragons, attack her life points!"

"No! I activate Swords of Revealing Light, which means I'm still in the game. Sorry to disappoint you Kaiba," Soraya said, as the golden swords rained down around her, shielding her from the attacks.

Soraya: 7600

Kaiba: 4150

Soraya drew. Neo the Magic Swordsman. She watched as it disappeared. Damn Crush card. "I put this card face down and end my turn."

Kaiba looked at the facedown card in contempt. "Is that all? I expected better. I'll get rid of your swords with the Seven Tools of the Bandit, costing me 1000 life points. Now I play Cost Down and sacrifice my Lord of D. for my final Blue Eyes, more than enough to take you out. Attack, my dragons!"

All three dragons attacked. Soraya shielded her face with her arm as the attacks hit.

Two of them anyway.

Kaiba's eyes narrowed as he scanned her side of the field. One of her magic or trap cards was gone. "What did you do." He did not say this as a question.

"Waboku works wonders." Soraya said brightly.

"It doesn't matter, you're gone on the next turn."

Soraya: 1600

Kaiba: 3150

Soraya looked at the formidable Blue Eyes White Dragons, then at the cards in her hand. He's right she thought. There's no monster that can take down all three dragons in one turn without help. Her hand hovered over of her deck, her eyes narrowed in determination.

I have only one more chance she thought and drew her card.

She smiled as she looked at what she had drawn. Matt was right, I do have better luck with these.

Kaiba laughed. "What are you smiling for, no one can beat my dragons."

Soraya smirked. "Oh really, Yugi beat your dragons."

"Yugi had Exodia," Kaiba muttered, grimacing at the memory

Soraya held up her cards for everyone to see. Kaiba took a step back.

"I summon the unstoppable Exodia the Forbidden One."

Kaiba: 0

"Well said Kaiba," Soraya said, grinning. "You're gone on the next turn. I win."

"You just got lucky," Kaiba grumbled, glowering.

The crowd had started to mutter excitedly. "…did you see that?…she actually beat Kaiba!…wow, she's really good…" They shut up quickly under Kaiba's death glare.

Soraya walked over to Yugi and the others and they began to walk to the Yugi's house.

"You have Exodia." Joey stated the obvious.

"Seeing as it has just helped me win against Kaiba, I have to say I do." Soraya replied.

"How many duels have you won with Exodia?" Yugi asked.

"One."

"Just one?" Joey asked.

"I only got them yesterday." Soraya replied.

"Guys, we're here." Yugi said as they arrived at the Card Shop.

Soraya looked up at the shop in surprise. "You live here?"

Yugi looked at her. "Yes, is something wrong?"

Soraya shook her head. "No, there isn't." she said smiling.

Later, at night…

Yugi was lounging in his room, doing whatever he needed to be doing. He could sense Yami was in deep thought about something.

Is something wrong Yami?

No answer.

Yami?

No answer.

Yami!

Hmm, did you say something Yugi?

Okay, spit it out. What are you thinking about Yami?

That new girl we met today, Soraya. She seems so familiar, and yet I have no idea who she is. Don't worry too much Yami, we may find out soon enough. Yugi turned to look out the window. His jaw dropped.

He saw a figure open a window next door and climb up. In one fluid movement, the figure flipped up onto the roof. The person looked very familiar.

Yugi walked over to his window and opened it. "Soraya?" he called, looking up at the figure settled down on the roof.

Soraya looked down at the surprised teen. "Hi Yugi."

"What are you doing there?"

"I live here."

Yami, can you get up on that roof? The Puzzle glowed, and Yami was on the roof in moments.

"You live next door to me?" Yugi asked as he settled down next to Soraya.

"Yep."

"Wow." Yugi looked up at the stars. "You're a good duelist," he said after a while.

"Arigatou."

"Hey, you know that thing you did in our duel, where you kept avoiding Celtic Guardian's attacks?" Yugi asked as Soraya nodded. "When did you start doing that?"

"That was the first time I ever tried that. You asked if I had anything else to do, I wondered what would happen if I avoided the attack, so I tried it."

"OK, now we know."

"Yugi, I have a question. Do we really look that much alike?"

Yugi grinned. "You keep having people saying if we're related?"

"I keep having people asking me how's it like to be the sister of the King of Games, if I had gotten my dueling skills from you, and why it took me so damn long to come to Domino."

"I got the same type of questions throughout the day. I don't think we look that much alike."

"What does the other part of you think?"

Yugi stiffened. "What do you mean?" he stammered.

Soraya turned to face him. "I think you know very well what I mean. It was not only you I was dueling this afternoon."

Yami, she…she…

She knows, Yugi. She noticed. Let me talk to her.

"You switched." Soraya said.

"Yes, we did. How did you know?" Yami crossed his arms as he considered the girl.

"In a number of ways. You seemed more confident and a lot more cocky, it was kind of obvious," Yami remained quiet as Yugi smirked at Soraya's description of Yami.

Cocky. Good word for you Yami.

Oh be quiet.

"Why do you share a body with Yugi?" Soraya asked.

"I am Yami, the spirit of the Millennium Puzzle. I was an Egyptian pharaoh 5000 years ago. Yugi is my reincarnation and is my hikari, my light side. I became his dark, and became his spirit protector, when his solved the Millennium Puzzle."

"Wow, what is it like in Ancient Egypt?" Soraya asked.

Yami surveyed the girl. How much should I tell her Yugi?

She knows you exist, tell her as much as you think is necessary.

Yami sighed and closed his eyes. "I do not remember much about Ancient Egypt. I lost my memory when I was trapped in the Puzzle. I do not even remember my real name. I remember very few things about my past."

Soraya stood up and walked around the roof, making sense of all of what she had just heard. "Wow." She finally said.

"But maybe you could help me." Yami said, opening his eyes.

Soraya looked at the spirit in confusion. "What do you mean?"

Yami stood up.

And was knocked back by a blast of dark energy to leave him teetering on the roof edge.

"Why don't you mind your own business Pharaoh." A new female voice said.

Yami regained his balance and got a closer look at his attacker. The woman was dressed in dark robes and a gold belt snaked around her waist. She had long pitch-black hair with dark green highlights, her hard gray eyes flashed coldly as the black obsidian star glowed dimly atop the long blood red staff she held pointed directly at the Pharaoh's heart.

"Who are you?" Yami asked as his eyes narrowed.

The woman smirked. "My name is Akiro and that is all you need to know. Your Millennium power will soon be mine." She turned to Soraya. "Have fun with your little spirit friend while you can. If you will not help me, you will die as well." She disappeared.

Yami looked at an angry Soraya, observing her actions as she glared at the spot Akiro disappeared with her hands clenched into fists.

Soraya shook her head and turned to face Yami. "I think I owe you an explanation now." She said, her eyes flashing angrily.

Daylight: Hope you liked it!
