Alright all, Sorry for the wait. Remember, this is ONLY Yugi's POV. I haven't done any from Atem's due to everything I had to say in Yugi's POV.

I understand that you guys were all wanting to know what mess Yugi caused and what exactly happened; so, without further ado, here it is! ^^


Yugi's POV

As the vision faded away, Yugi was left with fleeting images of what was coming next. So far, there was only one vision; he knew that more were going to come, he could feel it. As if on cue, a new scene appeared. To his astonishment, it was a vision of his past, and what he did. As his surroundings came into focus, it all made sense. He knew what this vision was; he knew what would unfold. The ugliness of what he did brought on a wave of nausea. Even so, he was still intrigued; the first time he ever met Mira, he went unconscious and on the same day a little later, he had awoken safe and sound on his bed. He remembered having a nightmare that involved screams and cries, but other than that, he was perfectly okay. Yugi was always curious as to what had taken place during his unconsciousness, but he was also curious as to how he ended up safely tucked up in his bed at his own house.


When his surroundings stopped morphing, he realized he was standing in the Game Shop back before everything had happened. Oh how he longed for this to be his reality instead of all the craziness, but he knew better than to start thinking that way. He had to focus on what was happening... How this had all began. As he looked around, he noticed that the shop had yet to open and his grandfather was still asleep in his bed. As the realization hit him as to what time it was, his mind told him this was the exact time it all went down. Then, the phone rang. This was it. The start. Yugi heard footsteps above his head, and then soft thumps of feet coming down the stairs. Then, his body appeared- or, his consciousness from this time in the past. He watched himself climb down the stairs; the back of one hand was rubbing one of his eyes sleepily. Yugi watched as he went behind the shop counter and pick up the phone. Yugi didn't need to hear this phone call, he knew it was Mira, but to Yugi's past self, she was a total stranger. He could remember exactly what was said by both people; Yugi's past self stood there for a moment, spoke, then argued. When Yugi's past self hung up the phone, Yugi could plainly see the annoyance and confusion on his own face. It was weird to see, but he didn't seem to care.

As Yugi watched himself creep back upstairs, he had remembered that Mira had asked him to come to the barn-like house, where Kaiba had disappeared, to discuss certain things... he couldn't remember what those things were though. After these thoughts, Yugi's past self clambered down the stairs as quietly as he could, fully dressed. Yugi had already known that his grandfather was a heavy sleeper; and no one would realize he was gone until much later. Yugi watched himself look around and then head towards the exit. Yugi turned to follow his past self, but he bumped into a shelf displaying a glass chess set. All of sets- pieces and all- fell to the ground with a loud crash. Yugi jumped out of the way at the last second, and sighed in relief. Then, when he heard quickened steps leading to the shop, his eyes widened with surprise. He had remembered this too. He could distinctly remember inspecting the area with the broken pieces and all through the shop, thinking there was some person trying to steal things. Yugi could only watch himself search around; Yugi's past self even brushed up against him; in the past, Yugi had thought he felt a chill in that area, and now Yugi understood why. It seemed he could actually touch and effect things in this time period. Then a horrible thought came to mind, when he was with Kaiba walking up the steps to that house, the people who had parted for Kaiba were staring at him.

It seemed that only certain people could see him. Yugi then grew a little nervous. Was it possible Mira could see him? He felt a chill go down his spine, this was really creepy. He shook his head of the thoughts and tried to focus on something else... Then, he thought it. Thought of changing the future; he knew he could do it, after all, he could effect the past. He wondered if he could write on a piece of paper, and set it in front of himself to read.

But then he thought of all the things that wouldn't happen. He would never have met Sora, for one thing. He couldn't remember who had told him this, but he remembered someone saying, "If you could change the past- prevent an event- it would still happen. Not in the same way, but it would still happen." If this were true, he'd just be wasting his time. If it were true it would happen a different way, he wouldn't know how to prepare for it, or get around it; besides, it was just too risky anyway. He decided to let things run it's course; he knew that somehow, he and Yami would reunite and defeat Mira. The Pharaoh and everyone else always found a way to defeat any evil.

Yugi's past self had given up searching and had headed out the door; Yugi followed this time, careful of not bumping into anything else. It was still dark outside, which made sense due to the time being around two o'clock in the morning. He was still amazed that he could navigate through the dark and find his way to a house he'd never been to before. Granted the house was big and unique, but who knew how many other big and unique houses there were?

When Yugi and his past self arrived at the barn-like house, Yugi crossed his fingers that Mira wouldn't be able to see him. When they both approached the steps, Yugi felt a sense of foreboding. He hadn't felt that before, but he was feeling it now. Yugi's past self approached the door, not hesitating like Yugi had. Keeping the thought of effecting the future out of his mind, Yugi followed. Before Yugi's past self could knock on the door, Mira had opened the door. He held his breath, then let it out a moment later when Mira had only focused on Yugi's past self. It was also interesting that she looked like an actual woman, not the ten year old she was... or was she really ten?

Back at this time, Yugi had thought Mira was only a kind woman who just needed some help and had an odd way of doing it, but he now knew that this was a lie. She wasn't any kind woman at all. How Mira could be that cruel for no reason, he wouldn't know, but he was thankful that Sora, Mira's sister, wasn't like that at all. In fact, he was glad that he had met her. He thought of his life before he'd met Sora, and then after; he honestly couldn't think about his future without her in it. He knew that she was a good friend, and would always help him if he had asked her. Maybe the first step to taking down Mira is through Sora. I know that if I asked, she wouldn't hesitate to help me.

Yugi had known that Mira was powerful, even now when they first met, he'd felt it. Her power. Though, he didn't think much of it, and dismissed it. He knew that was a mistake. He should have known better than to proceed as he did, and he should have easily seen what she would become... but it seemed he wasn't smart enough to think about that back then.

While Yugi was thinking these things, his past self went inside. When Yugi was brought from his thoughts, he realized he was alone, and immediately went inside; not a second later he saw Yugi and Mira in the doorway, they were frozen- the vision had paused. When Yugi had reached the two, they both unfroze and proceeded to walk down the hallway. He tried to calm his nerves. The sense of foreboding was growing stronger by the minute, and his pulse was racing. He quickly followed the two down the hallway to the room where he and Mira would sit down and 'civilly' talk. His interest grew when he realized that in the middle of the conversation, he would fall unconscious. He wondered if the vision would go further so he could experience everything leading up to him awaking in his own bed.

Before they had reached the room, he heard the beginning of the very unusual conversation that they had. "Hi, I'm Mira, how are you?" "I'm fine thanks; I'm Yugi by the way." "Yes, yes I know who you are, I was actually wondering if you could help me," and so on and so forth. When the two had entered the room, he noticed there was no door; it was an open space, much like a living room, but with a family sized table with wooden chairs. They had both sat down and conversed. Yugi didn't want to hear the repeated conversation, so he stood by the entry way.

As the conversation went on, Yugi saw something out of the corner of his eye. A person, a girl it looked like, snuck up to the entrance. She didn't enter, but stood off to the side, on the opposite side of Yugi. Yugi could see clearly now that it was in fact a girl. She was about his height, maybe even shorter, and she was a lot younger than he was. He guessed that she was probably around five or six years of age. She had a short, soft and shiny black head of hair that was pulled up into high pig tails with purple ribbons wrapped around them. Her eyes were a striking pair of green, bolder than he thought possible. He hadn't seen any person who had that kind of unique eyes before. She held all of his attention; he couldn't look away. She had leaned up against the wall, listening in to his past self and Mira's conversation.

When he saw the girl listening in, he turned to listen in as well; he knew what was being discussed, but he wanted to listen in again in case he had missed something important. While he was listening, he recognized the current topic as the Millennium Items. He wasn't sure how that came up, but he was pretty sure that he had brought them up. The girl with the black hair leaned in a little closer, apparently intrigued by the current topic of discussion, but... if he wasn't mistaken, the wholee conversation would end very soon.

As Yugi stood listening in the doorway, he was unaware of footsteps approaching, and judging by the girl's reaction, he knew she wasn't expecting them either. The girl's head whipped around and towards another figure. The figure was a woman. Yugi couldn't see what her face looked like, because she was wearing a tan robe with a rope tied around her waist; she was wearing a hood that cast a shadow upon her face.

The girl that was listening in to Mira's conversation took in a nervous breath and bowed her head in respect. "Sister, I'm sorry, I was just-" she was cut off, but there was no one speaking. This struck Yugi as odd, the woman seemed to have powers that allowed her to speak, but only to the person spoken to. The poor girl had straightened up and shook a little. "Yes, I promise I'll leave Sister Mira alone," she said in a hushed tone, then she walked away. She walked slowly at first, then started running down the hallway. Yugi didn't know why the girl was scared, but he guessed there was a certain reason for it. He didn't want to find out that reason. Wait... hold on a second, he thought, did that girl just call Mira Sister Mira? with each event that Yugi experienced, it all got weirder and weirder.

This time, he heard the woman; she had sighed. She then walked towards the entrance to the room where Mira and his past self were speaking. He hadn't realized it when the woman had came, but he and Mira were arguing at this time. When he listened in, it sounded familiar. "I won't allow it!" he had exclaimed,

"I must insist," Mira had said,

"No!" he shouted at Mira, but she merely laughed,

"You'll have a week to decide whether to give up the Items."

All of a sudden, he realized that he didn't remember the woman ever coming in, because that was when...

Right when Yugi thought it, it happened, Yugi's past self had gone unconscious and fell to the ground. Yugi still didn't know what had caused his unconscious state, but now he knew. That woman dressed in the tan robe, she had caused it. She had raised her hand towards his past self, and made a fist; almost like she wanted to squeeze his head. Yugi couldn't stop watching now, it seemed the vision would go beyond his unconsciousness after all. Come to think of it, Yugi thought, I don't remember everything that happened. The conversation between Mira and I went on a lot longer than I had thought. It's strange to not remember half of what was said...

"Sister Mira, it looks like you won't be getting any further with him," the woman said.

Mira scowled, "If I had just a little longer to try to persuade him, I-"

"No," came the womans flat reply. "Mira, no matter how hard you try, you'll never persuade him, besides," she added, "We're wasting valuable time."

Mira nodded, "I guess you're right, we need to gather the Items whether we have Yugi's help or not. For the plan to go forward, we need the Items as soon as possible."

Yugi watched intently as the two gathered the unconscious Yugi and carried him out, and down a separate hallway. Yugi saw that they really didn't need two people to carry him, in fact, he was so light that even Tea could probably pick him up.

Along the way, Yugi and the two women passed several doors that led to different rooms; only one was open though. Mira and the woman with the hood paused by the open door. The door led to a small bedroom, as far as Yugi could tell, it wasn't all that big.

When the woman moved around to fit Yugi's past self into the doorway, he only caught a glimpse of her face, he still couldn't see much, but what he did see was her eyes. They were green like that girls, but not as bold. They were a vivid green, but they were also calmer than the girls'.

When they both got into the room, the woman motioned to Mira to set Yugi's past self up against the wall. Yugi was a little surprised that there wasn't any furniture in the bedroom, but he figured that it might be remodeled soon; there was a hole on one of the walls that showed the sheet rock beneath, and the room was old looking, like it hadn't been used in years. Yugi also noticed there was only one window, but it wasn't very big; it looked like it was only meant for looking out of when there was a need to.

While he surveyed the room, the woman had moved to look at a wall. When Yugi's attention returned to the woman, he thought it very odd to be looking at a wall. It looked like she was expecting the wall to do something for her. But then, when the woman spoke only to that girl, it didn't come as much of a surprise to him. She probably had some sort of magic. Maybe it would bend to her will or something.

The woman made a gesture and spread her arms wide, but Yugi couldn't see her very well. He was behind her almost right next to the doorway. To Yugi's surprise, the wall didn't bend at all, in fact, it opened. It was like a mechanical door, both parts of the wall retreated to their own corners of the small room.

When the walls stopped moving, Yugi could see only darkness omitting from the new room. The woman stood still for a moment. Yugi would only allow himself to be so close to both the woman and Mira, even if this was a vision, the thought of manipulating the past kept surfacing and scaring him. He didn't want anything to happen, or cause any change in events.

The woman stepped forward one step, and he and Mira both watched with increased interest. It looked like this was something new for Mira because she sure acted like it was. Since he was a little more interested, he boldly slid across the wall towards the new room, and was able to see more of the new room. He no longer saw the back or the woman, but rather the side of her. He went a little further along the wall, and half way into the new room, so he could see her front and what she would do.

To Yugi's surprise, she didn't take anymore steps. Instead, she slowly untied the rope around her waist, and shed her tan cloak; the hood falling back as she did so.

Yugi's breath caught in his throat, and his heart almost stopped dead. He couldn't move, he couldn't blink. What he saw, was his worst nightmare. He desperately grabbed at the hopes that this was all just a twisted dream, but he couldn't recall ever falling asleep, and as far as he knew, all the events that he had experienced so far were true. This was a vision. This wasn't a dream. This was really happening, or rather, this was what really happened. No matter how hard he tried, no matter how much he grabbed at explanations, he knew deep down that this woman who stood before him was none other than Sora herself.

"Come, Mira, we must deal with the Three... now."

Mira still stood behind Sora, but she immediately nodded, "I agree, we should get it out of the way while we can." she answered.

Yugi's shock had ebbed some, but not by a whole lot. The Three? he thought confusedly.

-Sora's only reply was a wave and a, "Go fetch them." Mira nodded, then paused.
"despite her 'efforts' to stay out of trouble, Kali keeps on disobeying," Mira said, then added, "She was spying while Yugi and I were talking, wasn't she?" Sora only nodded, before she once again dismissed Mira.

"I can't believe those three still don't trust us enough," she had said to herself; she stood still for a brief moment, before she made her way into the dark room. She flicked on the lights.

Yugi's mouth fell open, it was the biggest room he had seen by far. There were rows upon rows of machines. They were all different, and they looked like if you got too close to it while it was running, you could be seriously hurt. In the far corner, He saw a row of military tanks; they were covered in dirt, and they were beat up. There was a room in the far back, it was really small from where he was standing, but he guessed it was just because of distance. Other than machines, there wasn't much else. There were metal tables spaced out in rows in the middle of the room, and when he got a closer look, he noticed leather straps in all four corners of each table. He was curious about them, but he had a feeling he already knew what they were- restraints. He wasn't sure why there would be restraints, but then he thought, is it possible that this is a torture room? that single thought gave him the chills.

Sora had walked straight for the nearest table, which wasn't too far into the room. She picked up a white lab coat that was laying on the floor, then left for a quick second and came back with a metal tray filled with... tools. He wasn't sure where this was going exactly, but he had a feeling he would find out soon enough.

As Sora had finished putting everything in place, she quickly threw her hair up in a messy bun just as Mira had walked in. With her were three kids. One girl, who looked like she was the oldest, had shoulder length hair and soft green eyes. She looked to be about eleven or twelve years of age; clutching onto her short skirt, was a small boy. Yugi guessed he was about five. He had the same features of the girl he was holding onto, but they were softer than hers. He had an orange pilot hat on, and he clutched a brown teddy bear in one hand. Then, there was that girl again. The girl that he'd seen trying to listen in on Mira and his conversation.

"Kali, Miki, Shiro, you know why you're here don't you?" Sora asked calmly.

"No," came the reply from the girl with the ribbons in her hair.

Mira quickly walked up from behind, and slapped her across the face. It didn't look like it was hard enough to hurt too much, but he understood when he had heard her react. He remembered being bullied, he was punched, kicked, slapped, anything a bully could do, it was done to him.

"You should know, I know you aren't deaf," came Mira's harsh reply.

The girl with the ribbons looked down at the floor, and the oldest girl had walked over to her, the boy still clutching her skirt.

"It's okay, Kali, everything will be fine," she comforted.

Kali looked up into the oldest girl's eyes, "Will it really?" she said in a small whisper; it was so soft that only Yugi and the older sibling seemed to have heard. The girl hesitated briefly, and then gave a small sigh, "I'm sure it will," she replied.

Kali looked away.

Sora had sighed in the background, "I think we all know why we're here," she began, "Kali, you sneak around, and you lie. It isn't something that anyone here likes, and on top of that..." Sora stopped. Kali looked up in alarm. "Kali," Sora began again, "You repeatedly steal and sneak away from your home and duties..." suddenly Sora's tone darkened, "You have become a thief, and you know this. You also knew that this is punishable by-"

"No! You cant!" the oldest girl cried out, "I won't let you take her, you bitch!" she screamed out in anger.

Sora shook her head, "Kali, the way you dragged your siblings into this isn't fair. They must be punished as well, but," Sora paused, "We need them for a while yet, so they'll have to deal with watching."

"No, I won't let you. She didn't do anything wrong." The oldest girl's voice was a little more than a whisper. The boy clutching her skirt twisted around nervously. "Miki, Kali isn't leaving... is she?" he asked.

The girl, Miki, didn't respond, she just shook her head over and over again, while tears welled in her eyes and fell. Soon, Yugi could see she couldn't hold back any longer. Miki's tears began to flow down her face more freely than before, one drop after the other, flowing down her face like a waterfall. She lurched forward and enveloped Kali in a fierce hug. By the confused look on Kali's face, she wasn't sure what the punishment was to be, Miki seemed to know, but Yugi had absolutely no idea.

The boy, Shiro he'd guess, was flung away from Miki when she had hugged Kali. Yugi could tell the little boy didn't know what was going on, but he walked up to both of his sisters and joined them in their hug.

"I love you so much, don't you forget that Kali." Miki had said, knowing that those would be the last thing she'd ever get to tell Kali.

"Miki, I don't know what's going on, why are you telling me this? Miki, I'm confused..." Kali trailed off.

"Get her ready, Mira. Now." Sora commanded; Miki opened her mouth to reply, but she didn't get the chance as Mira had ripped Kali from her arms.

"I love you Kali!" Miki screamed. Shiro yelled the same, his voice squeaking a little as he shouted it in his highest voice. Sora walked over to Miki and Shiro and ushered them over to a machine. From what Yugi could see from his spot, it looked like Sora had hand-cuffed them both to the deadly machine. At this point, Yugi started to realize what was about to take place. The words spoken, the commands, the room, everything just screamed at him. He knew, with a sinking heart, that Kali was being punished by death.

Unfair was the only word that crossed his mind; Kali was only about six, she didn't really know any better...

"This is to teach you a lesson, Miki, you and Shiro must watch. If you don't, I can always record it and remind you every once in a while," Sora said in an evil voice.

Yugi's eyes grew wide in horror, Sora was sick. She was willing to record torture and make others watch it over and over again. Yugi couldn't believe this was the same person he'd met and become friend with. It made him sick. All of it. Yugi walked over to Miki and Shiro, and fell to his knees next to them. He couldn't stand it anymore. This was over his line, past his limits.

Yugi began crying, racking sobs escaped his mouth. He didn't want any of this to happen. Miki was still crying her eyes out, and Shiro's eyes began to well up too, seeing his sister so upset seemed to make him upset as well.

Yugi had already seen Mira viciously strap Kali down to the metal table, all the while she was kicking and screaming out for help, and he didn't want to watch anything more. He knew he'd have to be present though, the vision would only freeze until he returned, until then, he'd be stuck here.

"Please," Miki pleaded, "Let our sister go," she paused for a moment, "We promise we won't lie and we'll try and keep everyone in check- just please please let Kali go!" she begged.

Sora shook her head, "No,"

Miki screamed and shouted and pleaded over and over again, and Shiro seemed to slowly began to understand what was happening, for he too pleaded. Each time words left Miki's lips, it only seemed that both Sora and Mira began to grow angrier, until finally they both could take it no longer.

"You've said you're goodbyes," Mira began, and Sora added, "Its time for it to end for good."

Sora and Mira both reached for the tools in the metal tray, and inspected them for a moment. Kali watched them in pure horror, it seemed they weren't going to put her to sleep first. Yugi couldn't, wouldn't, watch what was going to take place. He had no intention of witnessing with his eyes the brutal murder. He quickly spun around; "This will not be a slow death for you, Kali. You deserve to suffer before you die." Sora had said. Yugi couldn't help but cry more at the statement, it was too harsh, even for an evil person to say. The last words Yugi had heard Kali say before he covered his ears were directed towards her siblings; "I'm sorry for all of this, and I love you. Don't forget me; I'll wait for you." and with a sinking in his heart, he realized that these would be her final words to ever be spoken from her.

After that, Yugi fell to his knees; he was facing the small room that they had entered before. He squeezed his eyes tightly shut, and pressed even harder against his ears as the screaming began. No amount of pressure on his ears could fully drown out the sounds coming from behind him. The screams of pain, the pleading, the racking sobs, they would never leave his mind. Yet another realization had hit him, all of these sounds that were muffled by his hands, they sounded...familiar. Yugi didn't want to admit it, but it had sounded exactly like the nightmare he had before he woke up safely in his bed. As Yugi racked his brain as to why the sounds were familiar to him, despite the nightmare, he popped open his eyes for a brief moment; what he saw was the answer he was looking for. Still laying by the wall was his unconscious past self, ears unblocked from the terrifying screams. Yes, now he knew; he was hearing, and witnessing, all of this a second time. It was horror for him, it was all too much for him, he felt like passing out just like his past self, but he knew he wouldn't get anywhere if that had happened.


At last, the screaming finally stopped; the crying and sobbing hadn't though. Yugi wasn't about to turn around, but he did, however, drop his hands from his ears. The first words he heard this time came from Miki, but she was crying, so she paused between each word.

"You... Merciless... Bitch,"

Yugi felt sorry for Miki, and even more sorry for Shiro. He was young, and he was already forced to do something that literally scarred him. He wouldn't be surprised if the little guy's brain shut that memory out for as long as it could. The trama of this event could have easily made any four or five year old pass out, but from the voices and sobs that were coming from behind him, he knew that Shiro was anything but unconsious. In fact, he was upset; as any little brother should be after witnessing the murder of one of his sisters. Yugi didn't want a visual on what Sora and Mira did, or how. He felt weak as it was, and he didn't want to proceed any further. He needed a break, but the sooner this vision was done, the sooner he'd be able to forget.

Yugi got to his feet slowly, and shakily, but he still didn't turn around. He decided to join his past self by the wall for a while.

"Mira, find someone to clean this mess up; and take the body with you. Throw it in the incinerator."

Yugi squeezed out the rest of his tears as best as he could, he'd already cried so much today, and it was a miracle he hadn't passed out yet.

"Of course," was the reply. Mira's footsteps retreated, and Yugi heard Sora and the two kids shuffling around. He wasn't sure what was going on at this point. Then, Mira entered the room. With her was someone he would have never expected.

It was Kaiba. He was wasn't wearing his usual clothing. Following Kaiba, was Bakura and Ryou carrying buckets full of water, and sponges. Yugi couldn't believe his eyes. It seemed that they were captured before Mira and Sora had ever met him. Then that means they must have known about the Items! he thought. Then he just about face palmed. Of course they would know! They're from the future!

As Bakura, Ryou and Kaiba all passed Yugi, he wondered how they could all be so quiet. From knowing how Bakura was, he wouldn't listen to anybody; neither would Kaiba. Ryou, on the other hand, would help someone any way he can, but he normally just did what he was told to do if someone told him to do something. For a while, nothing had happened; Bakura, Ryou and Kaiba, from Yugi's guess, were scrubbing. Yugi shuddered, if he were any of those three, he'd be scarred for life. After the scrubbing stopped, Yugi tentatively turned his head to look back at the room. To his amazement, it looked exactly as it had when he'd first seen it. Nothing was out of place, even Miki and Shiro were no longer there. As Bakura, Ryou and Kaiba all left carrying buckets of red water, Mira and Sora turned to each other, speaking softly. Yugi didn't hear what they said, but Mira had nodded at what Sora had said, and left the room again.

Sora then closed her eyes with a sigh, and walked over to Yugi and his past self. It felt weird though, to see Sora coming at him. By the amount of time that had passed, he'd grown close to her, or at least, he'd like to have thought he did. This was a whole new side of Sora, and quite frankly, he was scared of her. He didn't want to be, but he was.

Sora kneeled before Yugi's unconscious self, and rolled him over to face her. His past self's eyes were closed, but his face was twitching a little. This was something the Pharaoh had told him that he'd always done when he was sleeping; apparently passing out the way he did was an exception.

Sora's next action confused him, though. She smiled softly at him, and brushed his bangs away from his face. Yugi thought he must be seeing things, because it looked like she was about to cry. He didn't know why, because he didn't even meet Sora at this time. Yugi was startled when he saw a lone tear drip from one of her eyes. "I..." she began, "I don't want to do it..." she squeezed her eyes shut and she placed her head on top of his unconscious self's chest. "Mira, she... I sent her away for a moment.." she murmured through his clothing. Yugi wasn't sure now whether she was talking to herself, Yugi's past self, or him. It seemed like all three to him, but Yugi doubted she was talking to him. If she were honestly evil, she'd never show weakness in front of anybody.

"Wake up," she whispered desperately. "You're the one, I know it. You can free me from her." she hesitated momentarily, "Please, get up. I need you, Yugi." she whispered again, tears spilling down her cheeks.

Now Yugi was definitely confused. He wasn't sure now if she was evil, or if she was just trapped. Wait a second! he remembered, Before I had passed out, there was that other me! could it be that, perhaps, Sora has an evil side too? Could it be that they aren't two separate beings? then another thought came to him, I see now why Sora didn't want to be too far away from me, now. If she was really trapped, and if I'm the only one who can 'free' her, she probably didn't want me too far from her in case her darker half came out!

now it was clear why Sora was acting the way she did, she wasn't evil at all. Yugi knew that everyone had a dark half, and hers was conscious inside her own body. He guessed that this was what made it hard for her to control herself. When he was around her, she didn't have to control herself, she was able to freely think and act the way she wanted to; and when he was away, she wouldn't be able to control her dark half, and it would surface. He knew now that it wasn't Sora who had killed that innocent girl, it was in fact, her darker half that she can't control.

This new situation gave him a whole new perspective on things. When Sora and Mira had both carried his past self into the room in the first place, she just acted like her darker half in order to protect herself, and then when she moved away from him, her other self surfaced and took over. Now that he knew this, it seemed so obvious. If he just hadn't forgotten about his own counterpart, he would have realized it right away. As Yugi looked at Sora's face, he noticed that she was younger looking, like she was a little older than Miki.

Then Yugi wondered, When he first talked to Mira on the phone, she'd sounded older than she was, and when they had met by the front door before they had even entered this house, Yugi hadn't realized it then, but immediately Mira's facial features went from older, to younger. It seemed that both Mira and Sora weren't the ones that were evil. It seemed they were being used by their darker halfs. But how did their darker half's become conscious? he asked, then, Wait, if she pretended so as to protect herself in front of Mira, then that means... She doesn't know that Mira has a dark half too! She must think that Mira's actually evil. Same for Mira, she probably thinks that Sora is evil, so she pretends to protect herself as well!

With each passing second, new thoughts entered Yugi's mind, new realizations. It was all like water was being poured into a glass from a faucet. In other words, it was way too much at one time. Yugi felt a little dizzy, but his thoughts stopped when Mira entered to room once again, and Sora's head immediately went from Yugi's past self's chest to an alert, somewhat older looking, look pointed directly at Mira.

"What were you doing, Sora?" she questioned,

"I was uncertain if he was breathing." She stated in that calm, collected voice. Yugi had seen her cry only moments ago, but her face showed no sign of tear shed.

"Alright then," Mira began, "Let's get it over with,"

Yugi saw Sora hesitate for a brief second, then, "Of course,"

What are they going to do to me? Yugi thought, then with sudden horror, he thought of Kali. Would they do to him what they did to her?

"I'm going to unlock the door to that room, Sora. Will you grab him?" she asked.

"Yes," was the immediate reply. Yugi was surprised at this; he didn't think she'd be too keen on carrying him.

Sora scooped Yugi's past self up off of the floor with surprising tenderness in her eyes; Yugi could see that she definitely looked younger now, and definitely not strong enough to hold someone all on her own. He'd go help her, except that this was a vision, he didn't want to effect anything, and his past self was the one being carried in the first place.

Sora stumbled every few steps, but Yugi was surprised that she had managed to hold him up in the first place. He wasn't exactly light. Sora headed deeper into the big machine room, and eventually they reached yet another door. The door was open a crack, and Mira had opened it up the rest of the way. Once she saw Sora struggling, she raced to her side, and began helping her. Together they got Yugi into the room. The room wasn't like anything he'd seen yet so far. In fact, this room was quite familiar to him. He'd never been in the room before, but it felt like one of the rooms in a doctors office. It had the table, the one desk with the chair in a corner, cabinets on the walls, and posters about health hung around it. It was also small like those rooms. While Mira and Sora where carrying him, he saw the features of both women change into those of little girls; they seemed so innocent and honest, but when they both set Yugi on the table, their features grew hard again, and they both looked older. Mira moved away and reached for something behind the table.

"I got the Mirror while I was waiting," she said while she pulled the item up onto the table.

"Oh," was Sora's reply.

Now that Mira and Sora were all closer to Yugi due to lack of space, they didn't display those evil glints in their eyes. It seemed they were pretty much both in control, only a little of their darker selves were showing in their features, but that was about it.

"You want to do it?" Mira asked,

"No, you do it." she stated,

"Right," and Mira proceeded to stand in front of him, and hold the Mirror close to his face. However, just then, Yugi's past self awoke. "W-what are you doing?" he said drowsily. He bumped Mira's arms away from him, The mirror clattered to the ground.

Mira sighed, "Don't do that," was her reply. "We're kinda busy, and we don't need you knocking things out of our hands,"

Yugi's past self's eyes widened, "What are you going to do to me?!" he exclaimed as he struggled to get off the table. Mira flung herself over top of him, and held him down,

"Quick, Sora!" she exclaimed, Sora hesitated for a few seconds, it seemed she didn't want to do what she was told, but then her mind was made up. She quickly grabbed the Mirror that had fallen, and quickly stood in front of Yugi's past self. She stood there a moment longer before Yugi's past self's eyes rolled into the back of his head. Mira then let go, and stepped back.

Yugi looked at Sora, but she closed her eyes and looked away from everyone. He could only guess that she was starting to cry a little because her shoulders shook as she drew in ragged breaths. When Yugi looked back at his past self, he most definitely didn't remember any of this. He wondered why, but concern took over when his past self jerked from side to side violently, then grew faster like he was having a seizure.

Yugi waited for something to happen, he knew things wouldn't end badly because he had woken up in his own bed. Was someone going to save him? Someone had to, he knew that Sora and Mira wouldn't dare to. As Yugi hoped for something to happen, his past self's spasms began to grow weaker and weaker, like he was dying, and then his movements stopped all together. Yugi drew in a shaky breath. Maybe the vision was still going, maybe nothing would happen yet.

Darkness then began to spew from his body, nothing like he'd ever seen before. He wondered what it could have been, but then Sora and Mira's auras suddenly changed. They weren't like they were before. They were much denser and ominous.

"He's seen and heard too much already," Sora stated; she said it in a deep voice, deeper than before. When he turned to look at her, she was taller and older. Mira was the same, no sign of any soft expression, it was pure evil. He felt it in his heart; he was surrounded by evil and it felt like the devil himself came up to live inside these two women.

"Inject him with that Memory stuff," Sora said, "He needs to have his mind erased of most of what has taken place, but," she paused, "Don't let him forget what you said earlier. He needs to remember that he has to hand over all the Items before the week ends,"

"Of course, Sora," Mira replied, and she proceeded to grab a needle and vile, and extract a clear liquid. She then walked over, jammed the needle into his skin, and squeezed the clear liquid into him.

"Done," was the reply.

Yugi's past self began to shake again, not like before. He looked like he was having a seizure then, but now it just look like he was full of energy and bouncing. Yugi knew this wasn't good. Sora exhaled angrily.

"He gets on my nerves," she said to Mira, then, "Forget it, just kill him." she commanded.

Mira nodded, and went over to one of the cabinets on the walls. She then grabbed a small knife. It seemed they were both serious.

Yugi waited for his rescuer; Mira advanced on Yugi's past self's shaking body, and still Yugi waited. It wasn't until Mira had lowered the knife to his chest that Yugi realized no one would be coming. If he didn't do something quick, he would die, and the everything would fall apart.

As quick as he could, Yugi raced forward and knocked the knife from Mira's hand. Sora was standing next to Mira when this happened, and she caught the knife; she looked squarely at Yugi now, and Mira had a brief intake of breath. There was no doubt in his mind now that the two of them could see him. He quickly scooped up his past self in his arms, he turned and as he did so, Sora made a swipe with the knife to hit him. She missed, and Yugi raced out of the small room as fast as he could. He raced past the rows of machines and tables, into the small room they first entered. He exited that room and raced down the hallway. He saw Miki and Shiro along the way, they were leaning up against the wall. It seemed that he was visible to everyone now, because both of their heads shot up in alarm. When they had seen Yugi race past, they were both shocked and confused. Miki had raced out after him, and Shiro trailed behind. Yugi realized how odd it may look to everyone he passed to be carrying the very image of himself. Miki had fast legs, Yugi realized, for she was running along side him. She seemed to know that he was carrying himself.

"You're from the future, aren't you?" she puffed.

"Yes, but-"

"I need to know if anything changes!" she yelled, "I need to know if Mira and Sora will ever be defeated!" she said desperately.

As quickly as he could, he explained to her that Mira and Sora weren't themselves, but were merely being controlled by their darker halves. "And," Yugi added on, "There may be someone out there who looks like me, but he'd be older looking," he took a quick breath before adding on, "His name's Yami, he's a powerful Pharaoh that lived a long time ago, it's hard to explain everything at the moment, but he can help you." then, "In fact, he's probably the only one who'd be able to help you. You can tell him I said that," he said and took in a deep breath.

Miki didn't say anything for a moment as they raced down the hallway. Just then, Shiro caught up,

"What's your name, Mister?" he asked, "And you're friend that's the only one who can help?"

"My name's Yugi," he replied to him, "And that would be Yami," he repeated.

They both nodded, "If we see you in the future, we'll do our best to help you as best as we can; we promise we won't tell you that we already know you in case something happens!" she shouted as Miki and Shiro began to slow down.

"Alright, but you can explain everything to Yami, he'd understand!" Yugi shouted to them.

"Look out! Mira and Sora!" Shiro called suddenly, and when he looked back, he saw the two kids disappear into the nearest room, and seconds later, Mira and Sora appeared; they were racing after him.

He squeezed his eyes shut and drew in a long breath, he was getting tired, and a stitch was developing in his side, he wouldn't be able to hold on all that long, but he could still try to out run them.

And out run them he did. He raced even faster down the hallway, twisting with the curves of the house, and soon he burst through the exit of the house. He glided down the steps, his past self bouncing in his arms. He then proceeded to run home. Along the way he realized that Mira and Sora had given up his pursuit and he took his fast pace run, into a fast pace walk.

When Yugi did reach the house, it was about five o'clock. He stared in amazement at the clock. He'd witnessed so much and done so much; he thought it might be well close to about eight or nine o'clock in the morning. He quickly cleared the surprise from his head, and made his way up the stairs to his room. Grandpa would be getting up soon, and if it were true that people could see him now, he didn't want his grandpa to freak out when he saw two separate Yugis.

Yugi quietly crept into his bedroom, and kicked the door softly closed. He made his way to his own bed, and lay his past self down. He drew the covers over him, and patted his head. He then left in a hurry, and headed down the stairs and out the door. He now had time to think things through. While he thought, he now understood what happened. He did have an effect on the past after all. He had woken up in bed because his future self had saved him and brought him home. He was glad though that he wasn't hurt too bad. Then, Yugi thought of Yami. He hadn't been through all of this- he was in the Puzzle still. The Puzzle he had passed twice only seconds ago. It was still on Yugi's desk, and he had to pass it in order to get himself to the bed, and to leave. He wondered if Yami had sensed anything about this night, or if he had seen anything. Yugi gave a small sigh, he'd never fully understand how time worked. He had the general idea down now, but he knew if anyone who knew time better than him, it would be Yami.


As the vision faded around him, he felt a sense of peace creep over him. He was still worried, but he didn't have to creep around or run any longer. The vision was gone, and he could finally get some peace... hopefully.

Little did Yugi realize that he had witnessed his darker half's birth- how he came to come into this world and was able to bump into him later on. The very mirror that he had bumped from Mira and Sora's hand was the key. It seemed the darker half of both Mira and Sora had gotten what they wanted from the mirror. The minute Yugi gave the final bump to that mirror, was when his darker half formed, it reflected an image of Yugi and that was what gave it it's form. If only Yugi knew that his darker half had already been waiting for the command from his master, things might have been different...
