Here's the next one! I hope you like. Let's see what happens when Yugi is in control of the shadow game against Shadi. Right now, his name won't be revealed. Review please!

The Egyptian man entered inside Yugi's soul room and what he saw could not amaze him more, literally. It was really A-Mazing! There were many staircases and doors to the golden white walls that were zigzagging everywhere. Atem gasped and stared in disbelief. Yugi's mind really was a maze.

"This is a-mazing... literally," Atem said. Yugi gave his brother a smile while tightening his grip on Atem's hand.

"Among this room of maze is my true room. If you can find it, you win the game," Yugi told the man.

"You do know that if I do find your true room I can manipulate it into any shape or form, even destroy it like I almost did to your brother's room," the Egyptian man proclaimed. Yugi gave the man a glance. "I accept."

Yugi smirked as Atem stared at his brother with concern. He still remembered the pain he felt back in his soul room from this dangerous man. Yugi was willing to put his own life at risk. Atem prayed that this man, whoever he was, would never find Yugi's soul room. That soul room was starting to seem like a treasury room without piles of gold. Instead of gold, it was of life.

To Atem, Yugi was a life supply of gold left in the treasury room that would be Yugi's true soul room. Those violet eyes were pure diamonds glittering through the white light of the room. That smile was a big check that would never pay for any groceries or supplies. Yugi was, indeed, Atem's most precious treasure in his cold dark heart.

The man opened one of the doors slowly and carefully. Atem was too busy staring at Yugi with worry to notice a huge stone that came crashing into the room of the door this mysterious man opened. The crash made Atem jump from where he was standing. His focus was now on this man with the white robes.

Yugi chuckled, "did I mention you might run into traps?"

"Clever," the man grimaced as Yugi chuckled.

"Good luck. I'll be waiting in my Soul Room."

Yugi still had a hold of Atem's hand as they seeped through the wall. Atem found himself, as if on the other side of the wall, into a room with white walls and a stoned throne in the middle. Atem was surprised that this room was filled with nothingness.

"Why is there nothing in your true room?" Atem asked.

"Because, this isn't really my true room. It's my temporary one. The only one I know of," Yugi explained as Atem raised his eyebrows. "I don't know where my true soul room is. I don't know who I am or where I came from, so the only memories I have are from thousands of years of loneliness to being with you."

"Oh," Atem said, feeling pity that Yugi can never know his true soul room. The young boy sensed this in his brother and showed a smile.

"Brother, I want you to sit there," Yugi said while pointing to the throne.

"Why?"

"You'll see."

Atem scanned Yugi and found a hint of excitement as a little boy would get when they want to show their friends the most wonderful thing on the face of the earth. Atem nodded and sat on the throne in the middle of the room. As soon as he did, a bright light shown all around Atem and he was in his room, or what used to be his room almost six years ago.

There was a little Atem sitting on his bed. He seemed angry about something as tears leaked through his eyes. He was staring at a picture of a young girl with light brown hair and short bangs.

"Serenity! Why did you have to leave me?" Little Atem cried as tears poured down his cheeks before throwing it against the wall of the room. "IT'S NOT FAIR!" The young boy lied on the bed front side with his head buried in his pillow. Tears were streaming and a loud cry was muffled in the pillow.

Atem could not believe Yugi would have this memory. This was after Serenity left. It then came to him why Yugi would have this memory. There, in front of the unsolved puzzle, was a spirit form of Yugi. He walked over to little Atem and tried to comfort him by putting his arms around the little boy, but his hands fazed through.

"It's okay, brother. Don't cry," Yugi begged, but tears were flowing down his cheeks. "This is so unfair. No one can see me. Not even brother. I... why can't I be there for him? Why can't I protect him and love him? It's not fair!"

Atem had never seen Yugi weep bitterly as much as he did in this memory. Atem jumped off the throne and found himself in the room again. He slipped by Yugi's feet and cried.

"Yugi..." Atem wept. "I... had no idea... you... you loved me before... I knew you."

"I always have," Yugi said as he lifted his brother's chine. "When I first saw you, I thought you were the most beautiful child in the world. I loved you too, brother."

"That's why you're so touchy and snugly all the time. You still see me as the little seven-year-old who got his present from his grandfather," Atem muttered with a smile on his face.

"Sorta," Yugi chuckled. "I can't exactly play peek-a-boo, but I can love you as much as I can."

Atem smiled and gave a nod. He stood up and sat back down on the throne before the background changed again, this time to a different view. It was a dark room. Seemingly like a tomb or something. There, in the middle of the room, stood Yugi in some weird looking clothing. He was sitting on the cold ground with his legs clutched by his arms while looking down. A tear slowly rolled down his cheek.

"Yugi," Atem muttered. He watched as Yugi continued to stare at the ground filled with loneliness. Another tear came down and reached the tip of his nose.

The background changed and it was a memory after Atem had solved the puzzle. It was the middle of the night and Yugi was sleeping on top of Atem. He saw himself smiling, his lips being next to Yugi's ear.

"Brother, I'm glad we can finally see each other," Yugi whispered in his brother's ear. "I know you may not be used to it right now, but I know we'll be very close." He pecked a kiss on the sleepy Atem's cheek. "I love you always."

"I... love you too... Yugi," Atem's sleepy self whispered.

"Wow, I really do talk in my sleep," Atem said aloud. "And that was my first night with Yugi after Trudge got pawned." He smirked at the thought. "I wish I could've told him that without sleep talking."

The background changed and Atem found himself at a park, but it was very bright. What took Atem off on a loop was the fact that he saw himself and Yugi in separate bodies. It then dawned on him that this was one of Yugi's dreams. Atem saw himself and Yugi running across the grass laughing and and playing. Yugi jumped on his brother's back and they both fell on the ground while laughing their heads off.

Atem smiled at this dream. It was sweet and innocent. Him and Yugi were wrestling each other and having tickle fights. Atem chuckled while watching himself and Yugi playing so innocently without a trace of negative emotions or thoughts in the two. It was so beautiful to watch and Atem couldn't help, but treasure this dream. He wished this dream could come true, but Yugi had to share a body with his brother so this couldn't work at all.

The two boys were then by the lake sitting down next to each other. They were leaned up against a tree, fingers laced a firm hold on each other's hand, and leaning against each other with a warm soft smile. A soft breeze blew against the boys as they stared into each other's eyes.

"Atem, let's hang out like this everyday," Yugi said.

"Of coarse, brother," the other Atem grinned before putting an arm around his brother. "We'll be together forever."

"Promise?"

"I promise. We're brothers aren't we?" Atem smirked before holding Yugi close to his chest from behind and snugging his face in his brother's hair.

"Yugi," Atem muttered as the background turned back to Yugi's temporary soul room.

"He's coming," Yugi warned as Atem got up from the throne. "go over to the shadows."

Atem hid in the shadows of the room as the Egyptian man entered Yugi's temporary soul room. Yugi sat on his throne with his arms folded. He held a childish smile.

"Heya!" Yugi grinned as the man stepped forward before the stones under him started to fall.

Atem gasped as the man fell into the hole where a piece of the stone floor once was and hung onto the edge of the hole. Yugi chuckled as Atem looked at the man hanging at the edge of the hole. Yugi continued to chuckle at that and gave his his brother a glance. Atem nodded his head and swept down to help this man up out of the hole.

The man gasped at this sight. The boy, whose room was filled with pure darkness and no hint of innocents, was trying to save him. The man didn't know whether to trust him or not, but he didn't have much of a choice in the matter. The man grabbed the boy's hand as Atem pulled the man out. They both panted as the man stared at Atem with such shock.

"Y... you saved me. I am forever in your debt," the Egyptian man declared.

"Maybe that'll teach you to not mess or peek into someone else's soul room. A very poor hobby from your standpoint," Yugi replied.

"Hm," the man nodded before standing on his own two feet. "I have other stuff to do. Others to judge: the ones that trespassed into the Valley of the Kings. I will deal with you two later." He turned around and was about to leave the room, but stopped for a moment. "When coming here to test you, it was me who was tested. We shall meet again."

"One question you never answered," Atem mentioned. "Who are you?"

"My name is Shadi," Shadi replied before the world disappeared.

Atem opened his eyes and found himself standing in front of Shadi who held the Millennium Key in front of the boy. He placed it around his neck.

"Atem, your soul room is filled with darkness. The type I've mistaken for pure evil. Compared to most I've seen, you contain the darkness, but keep goodness in your soul room. Not many can do that. Perhaps that's why the puzzle chose you," Shadi explained before turning around to leave. "As I said, I will return and I will see if you truly are worthy of carrying such a powerful item. Yugi is a part of the puzzle you carry. You are responsible for him as he is to you."

Shadi left it at that before walking away mysteriously. Atem knew he would meet this man again in later time. He looked down at the puzzle around his neck and smiled. It then dawned on him that a chunk amount of time had passed since he had been drugged. Atem ran from the director's office and downstairs where his friends were looking for him. They gasped when they found Atem running down the steps.

"Atem! Where were you? We were worried sick!" Solomon asked in outrage.

"It's... a long story," Atem replied while rubbing the back of his neck. "To make it short, the director tried to steal my puzzle and drugged me in the process." He showed the tissue that the director covered his mouth with. "Though, when I woke up, I found his corps and another one that belonged to a stranger. I think the director wanted to sell my puzzle to a buyer and someone happened to have killed him. Don't know how."

Everyone stared at the young boy with blinking eyes. Professor Hawkins ran downstairs in pure horror with sweat pouring from his face.

"The director... is dead and murdered," the professor said.

"Oh my, this is awful," Solomon gasped. "My grandson mentioned that he tried to steal his puzzle."

"I also saw an Egyptian with a Millennium Key and a Millennium Scale. I don't know who he is, but he seemed to be on business. I suspect he murdered the director. I called the police and they said they're going to investigate the matters," Professor Hawkins explained.

"Professor, were you at the Valley of the Kings when the archeologists discovered the treasure?" Atem asked.

"Yes, why?" Professor Hawkins asked.

"I think you might be in danger," Atem warned the professor as he looked at the boy blankly. "That man you saw is very powerful. He used that key to try to destroy my mind or... my soul room. If it wasn't for my puzzle, I would've died as well."

"WHAT?" Joey snapped. "That son of a bitch! When I get to him I'll..."

"No Joey. This man is dangerous. You're vulnerable against him. He can take control of your mind easily," Atem said with narrowed eyes. He looked at his puzzle. "There's still more to these millennium items that not even I know about. Something tells me this won't be the last visit we'll get from that man."
