before we begin I want to say thanks to all the favorites,followers, and reviewers out there. I know there aren't that many, but Hikari and I appreciate it just the same. on with the show.

(Hikari's pov)

These past few days have been so peaceful. Well, not really. Joey and Tristan aren't the quietest people, especially when placed in the same room. But the afternoons were nice. I would go on the rooftop with a beverage and watch the sun go down, Yami would join me as well. He didn't say anything, which I'm grateful for. One day when we were sitting up there, shoulders bumping, we heard the soft sounds of a car. Moments later, a sleek white limo pulled up and out stepped the high and mighty Seto Kaiba and all his snobby glory. "Hey you, I demand a rematch. This time, I won't go easy."

Farewell peaceful, hello annoyance.

I leap off the roof and scale down the face of the building, landing in front of him, glaring. Yami, being not as... able as I am, went back to the ladder to make his way down. I turned back to face Seto, a growl sprung to my throat. Who does he think he is? Just because he's rich does not mean we all have to bow down to him. Or that the world revolves around him. I'm so fed up with people like him. "You wanna dance? Let's dance". I barely registered I was moving. All I could feel was my rage and adrenaline coursing through my body, driving me forward. It wasn't until Yami's voice touched my ears did I stop. Seto lay there, barely conscience and I stood above him, fists clenched in anger.

"Hikari..." But I never heard the rest of the sentence. My mind went blank and soon, I was lost in darkness.

A blinding light flashed briefly before receding. In Hikari's place stood a woman who looked remarkably like her. Well, sort of. Instead of her normal combat boots, jeans and black t-shirt, she wore white armor with red highlight. Her hair was longer and was no longer sepia, but a glistening white with crimson tips. She also wore a helmet that covered her eye. 'It couldn't be...' Yami thought, taking a step forward.

"Don't come any closer, My Pharaoh. Seth is still present." her voice proved it. She was not Hikari. Not the one he knew. She turned to Seto, who was clutching his body and groaning. "My apologies, Seth. My lighter half does not like you. I'm afraid I am not fond of you either. So I suggest you leave before you suffer worse." To emphasize her point, she drew her knife and pressed the tip into his neck, not enough to draw blood, but enough so he got the message. He took off to lick his wounds and to protect whatever dignity he had left.

"Take off your helmet." Yami said, eyes narrowed and a slight frown graced his lips.

"Pharaoh, I do not think-"

"I said to take it off." she couldn't refuse, he was her Pharaoh after all. Off came the helmet, to reveal a closed eye with a long scar running down her face."Ahku... is that you?" he took a step closer, eyes wide in disbelief.

"So you remember my name, what an honor." Ahku replied, bitterness in her voice.

"I haven't seen you in 5000 years... I missed you..." his eyes looked so hopeful, it was a new look for him.

"Pharaoh, you know as well as I do that we can no longer be together. I made that clear a long time ago. However, there is a certain brunette in your life. I have been paying attention. You have feelings for her, I can tell. It is time to let me go and make your move." she replied, voice monotone and facial expression non existent. Now a brunette was listening to this conversation, and upon hearing some of that conversation, squealed and ran back inside, to go and tell Serenity.

"...Why? Why did you-"

"I was sworn into the light." At this point, Yami was totally shocked, his jaw hung open. "I must go. By the way, my other half... tends to freak out when I switch back. I had to switch back last time, walk here, and knock myself out. I could barely switch back. Be careful, Pharaoh." the blinding light decided to drop by again, but left just as quickly as it came. Rude. Hikari was back, but her eyes were clouded and afraid. 'Right, Hikari is a brunette as well.' he thought, walking forward. At the sight of movement, she screamed and attacked him, driven by fear.

"Hikari! calm down! It's just me!" He shouted, but she still kept went on for awhile. Yami caught her wrists and brought her closer. "Stop! Calm down!" yet she continued to thrash. He only had one chance. He had to shock her out of this state. Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and did the thing he has been wanting to for a while. He kissed her. Hey, it worked! she immediately froze up and her eyes widened. As soon as he saw she was calm he backed away, a slight blush on his face. "Sorry, it was the only way to calm you down."

Hikari snapped out of her dazed and looked at the ground.'It's fine.."

"Really?" he asked, surprised. Was it possible that she had feelings for the leather clad 5000 year old male?

"Heck no!" she growled, smacking him upside the head before walking back inside, growling to herself.

"She is a lot like you, Ahku... this won't be easy."

Short but effective. So we now know about Ahku. Hey Hikari, I totally forgot the game plan for the next two chapters, can you text it to me? And readers, you can make fanart!
