The next few days passed quickly, and in the short amount of time Yugi was able to see one of these 'Akuma attacks'. Yugi had been helping Tom in the bakery, learning how to cook better in the process, when one almost crashed into the shop. For the first time during their visit, Yami took control and rushed out of the shop, Yugi projecting herself so that she could still watch.
Whenever Yami took control, the difference was hardly noticeable. Four bangs would move up a little, hinting at where they were on his spiritual body, and the tips of her hair and eyes would be like Yami's. The only other difference was that the body would be a little taller than normal. Back when this had first started, the changes were very obvious, but now Yami knew how to control them to a degree (though being in a girl's body was very uncomfortable and he didn't like doing it unless Yugi's life was in danger).
The Akuma was of a black, red, and white man called illusionist who was angry at a teenager who ruined his magic act. When he pointed his wand at a few kids across the street, they turned into Magician related items. The magician had just pointed his wand at Yami they saw Queen Bee and Cat Noir reach the scene first.
Yami explained to Yugi later that his shadow magic must have neutralized the Magic Illusionist had been using because it was a weaker form of Hawk Moth's magic that had been placed in him, as that was the only explanation he could give for why they weren't turned into a white rabbit.
They were able to observe all of their special powers and abilities, and both Yami and Yugi found it hard to not shout out Ladybug's identity. Though, Tom and Sabine couldn't even seem to recognize their daughter, and Yami and Yugi decided that it was safe to assume that it was magic that the other's hadn't recognized any of the other superheroes.
No one seemed to have questioned anything about the strange occurrence that had happened, and Marinette didn't seem to notice that Yugi knew, so she kept quiet about it.
"Are you ready?" Yugi was brought out of her thoughts to look at Marinette. They were actually early to school (for once, Marinette's father had commented), and waiting for Mari's friend Alya, who ran the Ladyblog (the name of the blog speaking for itself).
"Totally!" Yugi chirped, one of her hands absently resting on the chain of her Millennium Puzzle around her neck. "I'm so excited to meet your friend- she sounds amazing!"
"Ah- Marinette, Hello!" Marinette seemed to freeze, a blush gracing her face and continuing to turn it a deeper shade of red as the two girls turned to see a young man with Blonde hair and green eyes. While Yami recognized that he was Cat Noir, Yugi was more interested in the fact that this was the guy Marinette liked.
"Hi, A-Adrien, Morning good!" The bluenette paled. "I-I mean good morning!" Marinette turned and smiled at Yugi, who waved openly at Adrien when he turned to look at her. "This is Yugi Motou, she's an e-exchange student from J-Japan and w-will be staying with m-m-my family until the e-end of the school year." Adrien's jaw dropped, and Yugi was suddenly reminded of one big detail that she had forgotten.
"You mean Yugi Motou?!" He asked, looking at Yugi in awe. "You're the Queen of Games!" Her eyes widened when he stuck his hand out for her to shake. "It's an honor to meet you! Father would never let me buy any of the Duel cards, but I've watched all of your duels!"
"W-Wow!" Marinette stared at Yugi in surprise. "Queen of Games? Does that mean no one has ever defeated you?"
"No." Yugi admitted, shocked that people would think that. "I can be beaten, I'm just really good at games- my home is actually a Game shop, so I get lots of practice there. If anyone, you should meet Jii-chan, he's the one who taught me everything." Adrien nodded when the bell to tell the students that it was time to go to class. Marinette led Yugi to their class with Adrien, talking to the teacher with Yugi. Yugi ended up sitting behind Adrien and Marinette (who were sitting at the same table together) and with a young man named Nathaniel who reminded Yugi a lot of a mixture of Ryou and Hanasaki. He saw Alya and her boyfriend Nino who sat behind her come in late- Yami pointed out that Alya was Volpina- and the Chloe girl mentioned by Marinette earlier was Queen Bee.
It was lunchtime when Yugi finally got to talk to Alya and Nino, and found it cute how Alya kinda acted like a mixture of Seto and Anzu, and Nino of Jounochi and Honda. Chloe, however, reminded the two of them of Rebecca and Vivian.
Yugi was holding Yami back in her mind while both her and Adrien tried to desperately get Chloe to stop bothering them. As the day passed, she seemed to be more focused on Yugi and how she was 'unbeatable'.
'One shadow game!' Yami pleaded in Yugi's mind with a harsh glare on Chloe. 'Please, Aibou, it would only be one game- no one would suspect a thing and we'd be doing everyone a huge favor!'
'No.' Was Yugi's simple answer. 'You know how I feel about those games, Mou Hitori No Boku.'
'But-'
'Only in extreme situations, such as threats to our and our family and friend's safety. Nothing else.'
'Aibou~!' Yugi rolled her eyes at no one and mumbled under her breath about something, though no one around them seemed to notice.
"Oh, come on, Yugi!" Chloe said. "You just won't go against me because you know I'll win."
"Chloe, I told you I can't play against you because I left my deck at home." Yugi reasoned, though it was a huge lie. She brought her deck with her everywhere- the God Cards were safer on her person than at home. Yugi wouldn't be able to hold Yami back much longer, they didn't want to start a scene.
"You know you'll loose to me- I bet you that you're nothing but a fake!"
'That's it! No one calls Aibou a fake!'
'Yami- No!' But it was too late, Yami had taken her place, and when 'Yugi' looked up and stared straight into Chloe's eyes, both her and Adrien, who she had been clinging too, seemed to freeze. 'Yugi' let a smirk fall onto her face almost naturally, though it was almost completely out of her character to do so.
"Well, if you insist." Her voice was slightly deeper now that a male spirit was in possession on Yugi's body, sounding like a darker imitation of Yugi's happy and carefree voice. "Does anyone have a deck of cards we could use?"
"I do." Nino said, handing the deck to 'Yugi' and only freezing in slight fear when he saw crimson eyes instead of Amethyst ones. Only those who seemed to notice her eyes would freeze, but 'Yugi' brushed it off, shuffling the cards on the table.
"Does anyone else wish to challenge me?" She said in a friendly voice, and Yugi relaxed. If others were playing, then it wouldn't be a shadow game.
"... Sure..." Adrien said after a short moment of waiting. "What are we playing?"
"BS." 'Yugi' said simply as Alya also sat down, Nino videotaping this 'once in a lifetime' moment of getting the chance to play against the Queen of Games.
"Sure!" It was only several turns later when 'Yugi' had won the game, only being called out on one lie while the others had been called out on several times in a row.
"I just got beaten by the Queen of Games..." Alya said happily as Nino stopped filming.
"Good game!" Adrien said happily, shaking 'Yugi''s hand, the other doing so happily.
"No way!" Chloe exclaimed. "You had to have cheated!" 'Yugi' raised an eyebrow at her, Alya and Nino face-palming.
"Yugi doesn't cheat." Marinette stated defensively, moving to defend her friend. "She's just a master of games, something that you could never compete with, Chloe."
"How can you even cheat on BS?" Adrien asked, placing his hands on both Marinette's and Yugi's shoulders, Marinette basically melting into a puddle of goo under the touch.
"There really is only one way." Yugi admitted, her soul back in her body now that Yami was satisfied with his victory. "And that's putting down more cards than you say you did, but that's a low blow and actually a quite obvious cheat that can't ever be hidden well." For a moment, Adrien and Chloe were shocked that Yugi's eyes were Amethyst. She could tell that they were confused beyond relief, but playing the innocent act, she asked if something was wrong.
"Nothing." Adrien said in reply. "It's just that I saw a few other models doing that exact same thing, though I think they were playing by their own rules."

Meanwhile, Trixx, Pollen, Tikki, and Plagg were conversing about Tikki's suspicions.
"You say the Millennium Puzzle?" Plagg asked as he munched on some Camembert.
"Yes, why?" Tikki asked.
"I think they were made when our Egyptian chosen were almost dead." He said. "Remember that day when you and I felt a disturbance?" Tikki nodded, and so he continued. "I'm not one hundred percent sure, but some of those items were made specifically to balance the dark and light part of the bearer. Then the guardian took us to Greece and I don't know anything else."
"And why do you remember this and not anything else?" Trixx asked, annoyed slightly as she ate some sort of desert.
"You know how Plagg is." Pollen interrupted, munching on a leaf of lettuce, and some flowers by her side to eat later. "Only remembers Egypt because he could have whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted it."
"She's right." Plagg said bluntly, and Tikki groaned.
"Okay, so what are we going to do about it? This could be a big threat!" She asked, probably the only one out of the four actually worried.
"Ask Wayzz." Was all Plagg said while the other Kwamis shrugged. "He was probably out long enough before his master moved to Greece. For all we know, old Master Fu probably has a book on it or something."
"Fine." Tikki sighed. "Let's hope this isn't anything bad."
"Oh, come on, what's the worse that can happen?" Trixx asked.
