Inu: "I don't like the title for this story... it really sucks and so does my summary."
Yugi: "well it's better than your other ideas 'Alternate universe' 'Yamis world' 'Worlds of Dark and Light'"
Inu: "Don't know i still like Yamis world... If anyone has a better name for this story and better summary I'm all ears!"
Chapter 2- Alternate Universe
When they reached the other side, Yugi looked around and saw his and Heba's, doppelgangers. Their looks alike's were also twins like him and his brother but they have red eyes and blond bangs spiked up into their hair. He again looked around and saw Malik staring at his look alike like he was seeing a ghost but Malik's look alike's hair was spikier. Then he turned his attention to Ryou. Like Malik, Ryou was also staring his look alike but his look alike has crazier hair than him.
Yugi took a deep breath. "Heba, Malik, come over here. NOW!" Yugi said while staring at his dumbass brother.
The said boys walked back to Yugi and Yugi automatically smacked his brother on the arm. "Are you a mo-mo-mo-" Yugi stuttered not liking to swear.
Yami raised an eyebrow.
"Moron?" Malik's look alike said.
"Thank you." Yugi said then turned back to his brother. "Running into an alternate dimension, full of Ra knows what! Our grandfather does not even know where we are!" He yelled not caring that the others were staring at him.
Heba sighed. "I'm sorry for worrying you."
Yugi sighed and hugged his brother, then turned to the others "Um… well… I am Yugi this is my dum-dum-
"Dumbass?" Ryou's look alike offered.
"Thank you… brother Heba and my friends, Ryou and Malik." Yugi said pointing to each one of them.
Yami stepped forward and smiled at Yugi's innocence.
"Well, I am Yami. This is my brother Atemu and our friends Marik and Bakura." Yami said pointing to each one of them.
Yugi smiled and nodded then turned to Heba. "Can we go home now before Jii-Chan worries, please?"
Heba sulked. "Come on Yugi! We just got here. I wanna' meet my dark half."
Yugi glared at him. "I told you before that this was a bad idea and now I'm telling you again. You know the legends as well as I do. They tried to kill the Hikaris, Heba. That means us. We might seriously get into trouble here! And we brought the items with us!"
Malik nodded. "Yugi is right. We need to go, Heba."
"You can stay you know." Atemu said as he approached them.
"A lot has changed since the attack on the Hikaris. If you stay we, can tell you what happened that day and the aftermath."
"No." Yugi, Ryou and Malik said at the same time.
"Come on! Don't be such a chicken! I bet you don't even know what those items you carry can do. Well… we do KNOW and we can tell you if you will just stay here for a while and listen." Marik said.
"Yugi?" Yugi turned to Yami.
"Stay for one day. If you still want to go home tomorrow, we will assist you in getting back." Yami offered.
Yugi thought for a moment and looked at the others who just shrugged. Yugi sighed and nodded. "Alright. I agree with your terms."
Yami smirked and led them down stairs.
"Jii-Chan!" Yami called.
An old man that looked like Yugi and Heba's grandfather Solomon walked in and smiled. "I see we have guests."
He inspected them closer. "And not just any guest."
Yugi was obviously gaping at the man and Heba smirked and turned to Malik. "Told ya' he was real."
"Okay, Okay. I'm a believer now!" Malik growled.
"Sugoroku Moto?" Yugi asked in disbelief.
The man nodded.
"Oh. My. Ra!" Yugi said slowly.
"So who are your Hikaris and why they are here?" Sugoroku asked his grandchildren.
"Mine is called Yugi." Yami answered pointing to Yugi who was deep in thought.
"Mine is called Heba." Atemu said pointing to the boy who was staring back.
"Malik." Marik said.
"Ryou." Bakura answered.
"And the reason why they are here, we really don't know." Atemu said.
"We wanted to solve the puzzle." Heba answered entranced by Atemu's deep red eyes.
Yugi pulled out of his thoughts and shook his head. "This is so unreal."
Yami smirked. "Come sit. We will tell you the half of the legend that your world does not know."
Yugi looked confused but none the less sat down with the others across from their Yamis.
Atemu sighed. "What your world does not know was not all of us wanted to attack the Hikaris. Some of us were fighting against Dartz."
"Really! There were no reports about this." Malik asked suspiciously.
Marik growled. "Yes. It was a team of rebellions. After the attack, they got Dartz over thrown and executed."
"So the rumors were true." Yugi whispered and all eyes turned to him.
"Yugi?" Heba asked. "What rumors?"
Yugi turned to Yami. "You're my Yami right?"
He nodded.
"So do you also have the book of legends? Jii-Chan gave us one for our 10th birthday." Yugi said.
Yami nodded again and went to get it. When he returned, he handed it to Yugi who began to flip through it.
"I never actually read the book. What's in it?" Yami asked.
"Proof." Yugi answered and showed Heba a passage.
"The aftermath of the battle of darkness and light?" Heba raised an eyebrow at Yugi.
"Read it… out loud." Yugi said handing the book to Heba.
Heba sighed. "After the battle between the darkness and light, the Bridge of Ties was destroyed…"
"Scroll down to the third paragraph." Yugi interrupted.
Heba glared but did as told. "There were rumors that started to spread throughout the realm of the Hikaris. They started when some of the Hikaris disappeared through the water or mirrors. Then it spread to the dethroning and execution of… Dartz."
After reading it, he looked up. "So you were telling the truth."
They nodded and Malik looked at Marik. "Were the water and mirror disappearances, true?"
"In a point."
The Hikaris raised their eyebrows.
"It wasn't against their will. They begged to be with their lovers and the Yamis asked their new ruler to allow them to come." Bakura cleared it up.
Yugi was still looking through the book and Yami was watching him.
"Yugi, you ok?" Ryou asked.
"It's weird." He whispered.
"What's weird?" Malik asked.
"The book it's… different for some reason. There are things in this book that aren't in mine and vice versa."
"Like?" Bakura asked.
"In my book, it explains what happened in our world during the attack and in his book it's the opposite. It's like it's flipped." Yugi said.
"Understandable. We are in parallel universe or did you forget that small detail?" Malik asked only to get the book smacked on the back of his head by Heba.
"Be nice to my brother!"
"What happened next?" Ryou asked Bakura.
"Well… we tried to make amends with your world but your ruler doesn't want to trust us anymore." Bakura said.
"So we have no choice but to leave the Bridge of Ties destroyed." Atemu said.
"That's sad." Yugi whispered looking through the book again.
All eyes turned to him again.
"Why are you like a mouse?" Marik asked.
"Probably because Yami's a loud mouth." Bakura snickered and Yami shot him a glare.
"No it's because he is engrossed in that book." Ryou said taking the book away.
"Hey! I was reading that Ryou!" Yugi shouted and the Yamis' eyes went wide.
"Huh! He was right. It was the book." Bakura said.
Yugi looked around. "What?"
"Never mind. Let's move on to our next topic… the millennium items." Yami said.
Protectively, Yugi wrapped his hands around his puzzle.
"What do you guys know about them?" Marik asked.
"Only what Ishizu told us." Ryou said.
"Who is Ishizu?" Atemu asked.
"My sister." Malik answered showing them a picture.
"She looks like my sister, Isis; she must be my sister's Hikari." Marik said.
"She told us that the items hold a power. We don't understand and can't control it; only the Yamis' can. She also said that the millennium items choose their masters and without us the power won't respond to you." Yugi said.
"That's true but the reasons… we don't know. The items were created to keep peace between the two worlds so that's maybe the reason." Yami said thinking.
"Makes sense to me." Yugi agreed.
Sugoroku came upstairs from closing the shop and smiled at them. "So what happens now?"
"We stay the night and go home tomorrow." Yugi said standing.
Heba sighed. "Still on that?"
"Yes!" Yugi, Ryou and Malik yelled.
"Why?" Bakura, Atemu and Marik asked.
"Because it's not safe for us or the millennium items to stay here. A lot of people could come after them, and some people still want the Hikaris dead." Malik answered.
"We can protect you. That's part of our job." Atemu answered.
"My answer is no and I am not changing it. If you need me I'll be in m- Yami's room." Yugi walked away and the others sighed.
"Are you sure you're the Yami?" Bakura asked Yami.
"Sorry about that. Yugi can be really stubborn when he wants to be." Heba said looking the direction where Yugi ran away to. "Maybe I should talk to him?"
"No. I will go." Yami said standing up and headed to where Yugi ran away to.
Atemu turned to Heba. "You guys can stay you know. Hikaris are still allowed to live here."
Heba looked shocked. "How? I thought the bridge was destroyed?"
"The Bridge of Ties is still destroyed but not the new bridge." Bakura said and the Hikaris raised an eyebrow.
"Look… this is what happened after a few years later. Our new ruler, Seto created a new bridge using the mirrors and the infinity symbol like you guys just did. There are several people in the world of the Hikaris who can open the portals with millennium items just like you did. They work with their Yamis to open the portals because as you know the Hikaris can't use their power." Marik said.
"The Hikaris can get permission to enter these portals from the guardians and enter. They can evenly register to live here." Atemu finished.
"How do they know this place exists? We have never even heard of these portals." Ryou asked.
"Ever heard of the internet? There is a site that advertises the legend and if you register in the said site, you can send an email to one of the guardians explaining why you want to go. If the reason is real and good enough, then you'll be given permission to enter here." Bakura said.
"Who are the guardians?" Heba asked.
"I don't know. I think anyone who holds a millennium item. You four do, but you're probably too young to be trusted with the responsibility yet." Atemu answered.
Malik's eyes went wide "That means Ishizu is one of them. She has the Millennium Necklace."
Heba nodded. "And Shadi because he's the keeper of the Millennium Scales."
"Pegasus has the Millennium Eye." Ryou said.
"And the leader of our world, Seto has the Millennium Key, the last of the eight Millennium items." Bakura said.
"Interesting. I wonder why Ishizu never told us." Heba said.
"Probably because she knew how you guys were obsessed with the legend." Malik pointed out.
"So where do we sleep?" Heba asked Atemu.
"You can sleep with me; Ryou with Bakura and Malik with Marik since Bakura and Marik live here as well." Atemu said leading Heba to his room.
Bakura and Marik sighed. "Well… come on." They said as they leading there respective Hikaris to their rooms.
