(Hikari's pov)

I could hear someone shouting and saying things, but I couldn't understand them, nor could I open my eyes. I felt myself being picked up but nothing else. My eyes fluttered opened but all I could see was a dim, bleary room spinning. A loud ringing flooded my ears as well as my heart pounding. Slowly they died down till the only sounds I could hear were the dripping of a pipe and my own ragged breath.

"Who are you."

My head snapped up, causing a brief shock of pain. He was leaning against a wooden doorframe, arms folded And glare in place. His hair was star shaped, with crimson tips, golden spikes framed his face and shot into onyx. Purple-red eyes bore into mine from within a handsome, pale face. Why was this man so familiar? " The question is... Who are you?" I groaned.

" I askedyou first. Shall I repeat the question?" He growled.

What was my name? Why can't I remember anything? " Hikari." The name came to my lips easily. " I think my name us Hikari."

" You think? How do you not know your name?" He asked, eyebrows shooting up in confusion.

" Well I just can't remember. I don't believe I caught your name." I mumbled, rubbing my head. I looked around me, realizing I was seated, more like chained to, in a red velvet arm chair in a stone walled room filled to the brim with books. I think... That I liked books.

" It's Yami."

" Nice to meet you. Now, how exactly did I get here?" I rubbed my temples and took a couple of deep breaths, trying to mellow out my headache.

" You were passed out in the park, so I brought you here. Why do you have a millennium item? I thought there were only seven. Why is it silver?" Yami asked, voice full of suspicion. So that's his problem, he doesn't know if I'm a threat or not. Wait, Millennium item? A warmth spread across my neck and I remember something about a package...

" I think... I think someone gave it to me." My eyes travled around the room once more. " Ooo can you hand me that book right there to your left? I haven't read it yet." Yami looked bewildered and stared mouth slightly ajar.

" Hey Yami! Sorry I'm late, boss had me stay and-" in the , now open, doorway stood a man similar to Yami, except he was shorter, his eyes wider and his bangs didn't shoot upwards. He wore a maroon shirt with gray trim with a logo which, because my head was still spinning, I couldn't read And black pants. " Uh... Who is she and why is she chained up?"

" Found her In the park so I brought her hear till she woke up but then I saw what was around her neck... And brought her down here till I know what's going on. Her name is Hikari." Yami informed, never looking away from me. Little did he know that I was undoing the chains and would soon be free.

" We just don't do that! I-I'm sorry, miss. My friend here had some trouble recently and hasn't been all that friendly since. My name is Yugi, by the way, Yugi Moto." He said scowling at Yami. He looked like a little baby panda... Is that wierd? I think so...

" It's quite all right, Yugi, was it? Funny, your name sounds familiar." I said calmly, still trying to unlock these blasted chains.

" Oh... I forgot to mention she also lost her memories. Though I think aome words are triggering bits and pieces." Yami mumbled almost inaudibly. Yugi's eyes grew larger, if possible, and he blinked rapidly.

" I, er... See. Well, um..." I could tell he was at a loss for words and Yami was thinking about something. I could tell by the positioning of his eyebrows and the slight frown. At last I escaped the chains, but I won't reveal that just yet.

" My pharaoh, I trust you have been well." A new voice saidin the corner. Simutaniously, we all turned our heads to see a tanned man wearing flowing robes and a turban. His blue eyes held no signs of life, they were just dull. He continued with that monotone voice that sent shivers down my spine. " It appears we have a new person."

" Shadi!" Yugi cried happily " Oh, this is Hikari. She lost her memory and Yami here won't let her go untill he decides if she's friend or foe."

" I see... Would you allow me to look into your mind a moment, Hikari?" He asked, shifting his daunting blue eyes in my direction. I nod and close my eyes, figuring that would help. Something cold touched my forehead and I gasped in surprise. Suddenly my mind went blank and I saw...

Myself. I was walking around the room, which was free of other persons, freely, the chains coiled on the eyes flickered along the books, looking for something that caught my intrest. The scene changed. I was alone again but this time in a dimly lit room, sitting on a badly painted wooden chair. I was sharpening a knife and on the wall behind me, I saw countless weapons ranging from small knives to powerful bows. The next thing I saw were a series of corridors, like a maze. Except in this maze, things were a little more complicated and whenever a foor appeared, it was locked.

I snapped back into reality and blinked furiously, my mind replaying those images over and over again. " She is an ally, and she was telling the truth about her memory loss." Shadi said, his back to me. " but ahe is capable of intense destruction. I would advise staying on her good side." He went on for a few minutes and I quickly grew bored. While they were destracted I pulled of the chains grabbed a book and plopped down, swinging my legs over the arm rest.

" Oh and she isn't chained... It seems as if she has already made herself comfortable here." I felt eyes on me and I turned my head to discover both Yami and Yugi staring at me, mouth agape.

" What? I am just entertaining myself. Or is it you've never seen someone read. If that's the case, that is very pathetic." I said, smirking. That's when I saw it. That... Thing around Shadi's neck. The millennium key.

Images flashed through my mind. Someone who looked like him, except with more expression, was riding a horse a woman by his side. She touched her stomach and whispered that she loved him and to come home safely. I saw him die. I saw him writhing within shadows, crying out a single name. Isis. Then I saw a small cafè that was slightly busy. A feeling of dread washed over me as I shot up. The others circled me, confused and shocked expressions dominating their faces. Even Shadi's.

" y-you were secretly engaged to that woman and were going to have a child. But you never made it home. You watched as she brought up your son without you and you were alone for so long." I gasped, trying to regain my breath. " There was also a little cafè with a red roof and white walls, people were eating outside. Something has happened and I need to be there."

" I know that cafè! It's just three blocks down. Let me change and call Ryou and we'll go!" Yugi exclaimed, rushing off to goodness knows where. Yami scowled and followed him, clearly agitated about something. Only Shadi remained, and he stared at me with wide eyes.

" How did you know? Why... Why did you...?" His voice was full of sorrow.

" Shadi... I'm sorry. Forgive me." I whispered, standing up. He shook himself and regained that eerie demeanor of his.

" 'Tis not your fault. I will leave you know, good luck, Hikari." And with that the mysterious man disappeared into Shadows.

"All right let's go!" Yugi cried, bounding into the room a frowning Yami behind him."Hey, were did Shadi go?"
