Thank you guys for reading my chapters! So sorry I didn't update sooner, because I was busy with, life, and other crazy things, so I again Apologize. In this chapter, Yugi builds his relationship with Ichigo, and his friends, but little does he know that someone is watching his actions, and it's one of the captains of the Gotei 13.

"Yeah, these millennium items were created 5,000 years ago, or so I've learned from an old legend. They were originally used to protect Egypt from all foreign attackers, but somehow, they also made another disastrous problem among themselves. They had the power, at its best, the ability to wipe out the entire world…. a lifeless world" Yugi was trembling with fear once he spoke that phrase. Ichigo then noticed his fear, and tried to comfort him, by patting his head

"There, there. It's okay if you're afraid of something." Ichigo remarked, while trying to calm Yugi down.

"I…...I…..had no idea that they could do this kind of horrible thing…" Yugi stammered.

Ichigo was thinking to himself, while comforting him, "Man, this wasn't compared to that other guy that I was facing the other day. This Yugi looks… unconfident, and easy to beat, just by looking tough. The other version of Yugi was all brave, and even showed no fear while facing a hollow. Just who is he? Does he have the same powers as me? Is he another soul reaper? I have so many questions to ask his other half, but more importantly….."

During that time, a mysterious foreshadow appeared after Yugi, standing tall and proud. He then saw Yugi in distress, and was pretty worried about what was happening.

"Hmmm? What happened, Yugi?" Yami Yugi trying to reason with him.

"Hey. You're that Yugi that I saw earlier." Ichigo exclaimed. "How?"

"Why, hello there, stranger. I didn't expect to see you again." Yami remarked, despite the fact that he existed only as an image.

"Ok, bub. I need you to answer some questions. Just who are you?" Ichigo demanded, looking a bit uneasy.

"Well… let's just say that I'm Yugi's other half, or partner, if you will." Yami said.

"Partner?" What are you talking about?" Ichigo wondered.

"I am Yami Yugi. I am, what you might call, a wandering spirit within Yugi. I am his partner in duels and battles that we face together. Today, I see Yugi, and I now wonder to myself, what's gone wrong?" Yami Yugi wondered.

Just then, a hollow appeared out of nowhere, roaring loudly and violently as ever. Yugi then came to his senses, and noticed the threat that appeared before them. Yes, it was a hollow, but it looked more of a bigger threat than the "other" hollow that he was facing before.

"Damn….. how did that get here?" Ichigo then reached out to get his combat pass, ready to transform into soul reaper form. He tried, until he was stopped by Yugi.

"I'll take care of this." Yugi said bravely.

"Yugi! It's too dangerous to fight-" Ichigo said, but he thought to himself before taking initiative " If he's going to change into his other self, then…. I need to observe what would happen next."

Yugi's Millenium Puzzle began to glow. Soon afterwards, he was engulfed with bright yellow light, until a braver, more inspirational person emerged, which was Yami Yugi.

"Alright. Time to see what he's capable of." Ichigo thought to himself.

"Away with you, foul creature!" Yami Yugi spoke heroically towards the hollow, but it did nothing but just stand there, just for a while, and then charged towards him at full force. The hollow was moving so quick, it caused little gusts of winds when it dashed towards Yami Yugi

"So, I see you won't surrender anytime. Very well." Yami Yugi then pulled out his deck, got the top card from his deck, and faced it towards the hollow. Soon after, that card summoned his Dark Magician, his most trusted card to be worthy of his Ace.

"It's that same guy from earlier. He helped me destroy one of those hollows. Is this his real power? The ability to summon monsters? But…..." Ichigo wondered to himself.

Meanwhile in the soul society…

"Captain! Another hollow has been spotted, and it's targeting the same boy as before." A shinigami reported.

Captain Ukitake was then more aware of this boy, Yugi. Currently, he's thinking up a way of how to approach him without getting hurt. He then walks towards the senkaimon. While walking, he spotted one of his old friends, Shunsui Kyoraku.

"So… out for another quest?" Shunsui asked.

So, that brings me to the end of this chapter. Thank you for read, and I hoped you enjoyed it. If you did, remember to leave a review, and stay tuned for more chapters that may come.
