Hi guys! Lillymansfield here! I'm happy to be back and all, yet I have A LOT of work to do. Any way, enjoy this chapter as things get tricky... I think.

Meanwhile at Yugi's house, Yugi plans to have a party with his friends and grandpa. He already sent the invitations and Nines already cooked the meal for the party before she left. Happily finished decorating his house for the holidays. Yami fade in sight to speak to Yugi.

" You seem very happy Yugi."

" Why not? I'm spending time with my friends peacefully."

" Yes, that is true…"

" You don't seem very excited. Is everything O.K?"

"…"

" Hey, Pharaoh!" Yami came to from thought.

" Huh? Did you say something?"

" Are you worried about something?"

"Hmmm"

" Or you're worried about someone?"

" What do you mean by that?" Yami said denying it.

" Ah-ha! You are worried about someone!"

" I have no Idea what are you talking about." Yami said denying again.

" Are you worried about Lilly again?"

" No, I'm not I know fully well that Lilly is just fine." Yami lied.

He knows that if he said so, than Yugi will worry about him and wouldn't focus about having a good time with his friends. Yugi was about to say something, but someone was knocking on the door.

" I'll get it!" Yugi said to his grandpa as Yami faded out. He opened the door to find his friends who got his invitations.

" Hey, guys!" Yugi greeted them.

"Hey back at you! Um, where's Nines?" Asked Tea.

" Long story." Answered Yugi.

" Why don't we get this party started!" Joey said excited.

" Yeah!" Tristan said agreeing with Joey. Yugi let his invites inside and so the party began. As Joey and Tristan are having a chug fight, Tea and Joey's sister, Serenity are talking about school, grandpa lecturing Bakura about his archeological life, and Yugi's having fun too as he watch his friends enjoy their party. Yami faded visible again to witness.

" You're not happy?" Yugi asked concerned.

" Don't worry about me Yugi. Have fun with your friends."

" I bet you'll do anything to spend this time with Lilly." Yami faded out blushing. Yugi giggled.

" Hey Yuge! What are you doing there? Come over here and have some fun!" said Joey

Not noticing the bad weather outside. Just then the lights blew out.

" Hey, what's the big Idea?" asked Joey.

" Yeah, who turned out the lights?" Asked Tristan.

" Everybody just stay calm." Yugi assured. Just as sudden the lights came back on.

" That was weird." Said Tea. Just then a shadowy hooded figure entered the room.

" Who are you?" Duke asked. The hooded figure reached out his hand pointing towards Yugi's puzzle and a dark aura came from his sleeves. It entered the puzzle and Yami came out of it trapped in a purple bubble.

" Pharaoh!" Yugi shouted when he saw him.

" What's going on?" asked Bakura. The hooded man motioned his hand in a circle. Yami's clothes are burning bit by bit. He chuckled as he motioned his hands upward and the bubble sent Yami away.

" Pharaoh!" everyone shouted as he disappeared through the ceiling. Yugi ran outside and saw the bubble floated away. Yugi entered the room and sat in the couch looking at his puzzle wondering what to do. The mystery man is gone and so is his friend
