I am sooo happy with all the new favorites and follows and a review that I received, it made two of my days. Anyway here we go, sorry for this chapter for being a lot smaller than usual, but you can only place what needs to be placed, I don't want to over kill it with unnecessary details.

Chapter 4

The Question

6:45 PM

Yugi watched Regan get off stage and waited for her to come back. 'What happened up there?' He asked her mentally.

'Nothing,' Came a response from her that almost made him believe except for the problem with the answer being a little shaky.

'You may be strong and have a good poker face when it comes to lying, but you should allow others to help you.'

Regan didn't respond.

"Man, what happened up there?" Mokuba asked beside him.

"I have no idea; she looked fine, but…" Yugi started as he scratched the back of his head in confusion. "Maybe she'll tell us when she gets back. Where is she anyway, she should have been back by now?"

"She might be stuck talking with some strangers."

Yugi agreed and then thought about what tipped him off that Regan wasn't doing so hot. To the bare eye everyone could see that she was normal, minus the fact that her eyes changed color announcing that her aura was in use, but most probably didn't even notice the change. Yugi sensed something else. He looked down at his puzzle as an answer came to mind. Maybe it was the link between them that told him, or it could have been him all along feeling the change in the space around her. Nothing came off of Devin though and he was sure about that. Kaiba grunted which took Yugi out of his thoughts.

"What?" Yugi and Mokuba asked at the same time.

"Regan is at the coffee table adding about three shots of espresso to a medium size cup." Kaiba answered with no expression and completely monotone.

"Are you serious?" Yugi exclaimed in shock.

"Why is she doing that, she can't stand coffee, let alone espressos." Mokuba added.

"Now she's chugging it down, cleaning her mouth with water and now wiping her lips with a napkin. Now she's taking a mint from the basket." Kaiba continued.

"Kaiba you are an excellent commentary." Yugi stated.

The CEO glared at him looking away from where he was looking. "You wanted to know where she was."

There was silence between the three of them for a few moments and then Regan appeared from the crowd.

"Back," Regan greeted with a smile, but her eyes were once again navy blue, but Yugi didn't ask about it.

"What happened up there?" Kaiba demanded.

She looked like she was going to answer with a simple answer, but then she took a look at the three of them and Yugi knew there was something more than a little stage fright. Regan sighed in defeat. "When Mr. Scape placed his hand on my shoulder, my energy started to feel drained as I saw strange images or something. I couldn't tell you what they were, they were too disorientated." She shuddered and hugged herself and looked away. "It was like I was reading his presence, only more."

"Maybe you could have been reading his memories, but because you aren't a pro at your ability, it was a lot more difficult and drained your energy." Mokuba suggested.

"Makes sense in a way, but I don't think reading aura allows you to read memories." Kaiba stated and then he shook his head. "Wait, you could because memories are imbedded in there like scars, but that would require a lot more practice and experience. Which would explain why you were using your aura and unintentionally."

Yugi placed his hand on her shoulder. She looked at him and he smiled. "Don't worry about it too much. Whatever it was I'm sure we can deal with it like we have dealt with other things over the last could of weeks."

She nodded and Yugi placed his hands in his pockets.

"If I were you I wouldn't trust that host of ours." A very familiar voice said behind him. Yugi turned around and saw the face that matched the voice, Pegasus. "Hello Yugi-buy, Kaiba-boy, Mokuba how have you three been?"

"What do you want Pegasus?" Kaiba growled.

"I just wanted to say hi and to give my warning. I was going to find Ms. Heartin and congratulate her for a job well done, but it seems I don't have to do that anymore." Pegasus stated looking at Regan and then he got a puzzling look on his face. "If you're a local here, what are you doing with these three?"

Yugi was about to answer, but Regan beat him to it. "Thank you for the compliment Mr. Pegasus and thank you for the warning. And please call me Regan, I don't like formalities, they seem unnatural."

"Wow, she has some manners." Pegasus exclaimed and his eyes landed on a gold and silver object. "Is this a millennium item? I've never seen this one in the scriptures before." He tried to touch the River's Puzzle, but Kaiba intervened by stepping in front of Regan.

"Tell us what you have and leave or just leave." The CEO ordered in anger.

"Seto, he wasn't going to do anything-"

"Don't be fooled by this man." Kaiba stated interrupting her. "He is dangerous and probably clinically insane."

"I've never seen you so protective over a girl let alone anyone other than your brother, is she your girlfriend?" Pegasus asked looking directly at Kaiba ignoring his last comment.

"Why would you care, or are you trying to find a way to steal my company again?"

Yugi felt the tension rise as Pegasus started his playing act and he wanted to intervene and one look from Mokuba told him that he did also, but both knew it was nearly impossible.

"So are uptight about your little company Kaiba-boy, you poor paranoid soul." Pegasus continued smoothly. "How you still have no white or gray hair is beyond me, unless you dye it."

"For your information, I never have dyed my hair and I'm just that skilled that my body doesn't reflect the stress to run a company properly." Kaiba retorted. "And at least I'm not the one who runs around looking for fairy tales to bring back the dead."

"If you had a heart you would-"

"Enough! You two are acting like to teenaged girls fighting over a guy on a drama series!" Regan exclaimed pushing the two males apart. "And Seto does have a heart; he just doesn't show it often."

Both were silent as her puzzle was shining a bit which Yugi thought was due to her feeling both of their anger.

"Regan calm down, you might hurt yourself or someone else." Yugi pleaded.

"Fine," She sighed and her puzzle stopped glowing, but Yugi still felt her aura creating some sort of energy field around the five of them. "Can you two get along for one night please? I don't know any back stories between you and Mr. Pegasus, but I think everyone would appreciate a happy, fun and enjoyable night for once." She asked as looked back and forth between the two CEOs.

Yugi watched Pegasus' reaction and couldn't decide if he was scared of her or concerned for her.

Kaiba took a deep breath and took a step back. "I guess if it's for one night."

"Yay, we're friends for the night." Pegasus cheered happily. "Should we celebrate with champagne?"

"No."

Yugi blinked at the spontaneous changes in Pegasus' mood. "Okay, I guess now that that is settled, Regan you were saying."

"Right, I use to live just outside of Ottawa and now I live in Domino City. I go to school with Yugi and two nights ago I found out I am Seto's and Mokuba's sister." Regan stated and Yugi saw Kaiba face palm himself after she told Pegasus the last detail.

Pegasus took a moment to soak it in. "I guess that explains a lot. You do have the same eye color and just by standing here talking to you the three of you have the same stubbornness and pride. So I guess that means you're Yugi's girlfriend, oh Kaiba-boy you must be furious!"

Yugi felt his eyes go wide and his hear skip a beat as Pegasus said his piece. He did like Regan a lot, but he never felt like he wasn't her league, especially after he found out she was related to Kaiba. Yugi felt the energy field disappear and took a look at Regan's face and was stunned to find her blushing. 'She lost her hold on the energy field because of her emotions? She really does like me!' Yugi happily cheered to himself.

"What's with the blushing? Wait a minute, why did you eye color change?" Pegasus asked in confusion as his playing attitude left completely.

"Her ability changes her eye color when she uses it." Yugi stated. "Normally her eyes are green."

"Hmm, interesting, interesting indeed. Then can you explain what this Millennium Item is?"

"Let's just say it's like the Millennium Puzzle and just like before, brought good, but also not so good events."

"So I should be expecting you to either call me or me to call you in the near future."

"Can you please tell us what information you have? They look like there are ready to start the music for the dance to end the ceremony." Mokuba asked impatiently.

Pegasus shrugged. "Fine, fine. That man actually just appeared out of the blue no more than three weeks ago-"

"Hey, that's when Diabound showed up at the superstore." Regan stated.

Question marks started to fly around Pegasus' head. "Now I'm the one who doesn't know the back story. Anyway, he called me about the same time he appeared and asked if I wanted to help create this tournament. I agreed and as soon as I hung up the phone, I tried to look up this Devin Scape. But he didn't exist anyway,"

"That's a bit strange."

"Yes it is. A week later I met him and even now he doesn't seem quite human or at least human enough to the average human's standards, minus Kaiba-boy."

"What do you mean by that?" Yugi questioned ignoring Regan's feelings of anger that had a signature of Kaiba and Mokuba attached in his brain from their connection link.

"Well you know that I had the Millennium Eye and even now I can sense different beings and different abilities. Like Regan has the ability to use her aura and use shadow magic, like you, Kaiba and by the looks of it Mokuba a little. Anyhow, he seemed like he had evil intentions and as you saw him tonight, looks a little too perfect."

"I'm better looking than him and I'm positive I'm human." Kaiba retorted.

"Yes well, just as good as you look you place spears with your personality and sometimes certainly don't make human choices, hence why I said minus you."

Regan giggled earning her a glare. "Sorry Seto, but he does have a point."

Kaiba didn't look impressed. "Is that everything?"

"That is not all; I had a weird dream afterwards. You four were in it; there was darkness and a voice that seemed to come from the void, it's been a while, but I think it might have been the Shadow Realm."

Yugi shivered. 'Seems like my dreams recently, except it didn't feel like the Shadow Realm.'

"There was a coin being flipped between you, Yugi and a girl that I didn't know at the time, which is you Regan. There was a horrendous battle of duel monsters between Devin and Regan. And finally, when Regan was attacked by a ball of light, the scene switched to her as she knelt down beside a mutilated body."

Everyone was quiet as the guests in the ballroom were talking to their favorite celebrities and friends.

"That sounds like a future event." Yugi stated breaking the silence.

"That's ridiculous." Kaiba retorted.

"Well either way I still wouldn't trust him. Have fun with the Gamer's Trials, I'll be watching and cheering you on." Pegasus said and then started to walk away.

"Wait!"

Pegasus turned back around to look at who called him. "Yes Regan?"

"Do you prefer to be called Mr. Pegasus, Pegasus or Maximillion?" Regan asked.

Pegasus smiled. "You are pretty different from your brothers."

"Not really," Yugi muttered under his breath.

The man chuckled lightly. "I prefer Pegasus, thank you and Yugi?"

"Yes?"

"Take care of her." And with that he walked away making Yugi feel like he was given a very important task on top of what he already needed to do.

"Okay ladies and gentlemen, I hope you are ready to dance and be mindful we're watching you partying to match you in your band groups. So have fun and DJs start the music." Devin announced from the stage.

The DJ Adam and DJ Rena nodded and turned the lights off and flicked on the dance lights. Devin walked off the stage and the four of them moved towards the side wall to avoid the dancing bunches. The music came on and it began as a bunch of different game sound effects such as Pac-man, Mario, Pokémon, and Sonic and mixed in with techno music. After about three minutes of it, a slow song came around slowly. Yugi thought it was around the late nineties or early two-thousands, but he didn't he know. He was Japanese. He felt someone turn his head towards Regan who was standing on the wall looking out the dance floor and then they turned his head towards the crowd. He watched Mai and Joey along with Téa and Atem and Tristan and some random red haired girl dancing.

"You see what they are doing?" A voice asked him.

Yugi nodded, but he didn't recognize the voice. His head was turned towards Regan again and then he was pushed in her direction a little.

"Go make her night, or else." Yugi turned around to see Kaiba. "I know you two have some sort of thing so before this song actually starts, I suggest you don't let her down and be a real man."

"You must be killing yourself to say that." Yugi stated.

Kaiba didn't answer right away and turned him back towards Regan. "Fuck off and go already."

Yugi's heart started to race with each step. When he final reached Regan the DJs were done messing with the transition and the lyrics started to come on and he thought he would have a heart attack, "Regan?"

She turned to him with a calm expression which made him fluster.

"Would you like to dance with me?" He asked as he succeeded in control his blushing and held out his hand.

Regan smiled with joy, "I would love too."

Regan took his hand and he led them to the dance floor. Yugi had actually never slowed dance with anyone, but he had seen enough movies to know where the positions were.

'I'm such a loser.' He sighed to himself as Regan locked her arms around his neck.

As they danced Regan got closer and closer to him until her chest was touching his. Yugi's heart skipped a beat when she placed her head against his shoulder. He never felt anything like it before, he felt alienated, but at the same time completely comfortable with the feeling.

"You know what's weird?" He asked her.

"What?"

"I never thought that this was even possible, dancing with you."

He felt her giggle against his chest. "You know I never actually thought I was good enough for you."

Yugi was in confusion and asked her mentally, 'How can you not be good enough for me? You surpass me in many things.'

'Remember yesterday at my house before you left?' Regan asked.

'Yes,'

'That was my first kiss.'

His heartbeat staggered again and he became annoyed at his body's irrational behavior. 'Really, someone like me gave someone like you their first kiss?'

'No,' she answered confusing him to a maximum. 'An amazing man who has a heart of gold, who stands up against things that are usually way too big to handle, but steps up anyway, named Yugi Muto gave me my first kiss.'

He was in awe with her words. He never knew that Regan had thought so deeply about him. He listened to the music again and figured it was almost over and he never did figure out what song it was. "What is this song called?"

"This is No Place That Far by Sara Evans."

Suddenly a really stupid idea, that he wasn't really against popped into his head and his mouth started to speak before he could stop himself. "Can I ask you something?"

She looked up at him as they stopped dancing.

"Will you be my girl?"

The song came to an end with another hyped up song, but neither of them seemed to notice. Regan formed a smile that even Mokuba probably couldn't pull off if his brother ever beat Yugi.

"Yes, yes I will gladly be yours." She answered and gave him a hug.

He returned the hug with compassion. Yugi made sure Kaiba was still behind him when they had stopped. When Regan looked back at him, he kissed her and she returned the kiss.

'Seto is going to kill you.' She told him through their link when he finally let her go.

'No he won't, he didn't even see a thing.' He thought back intelligently and Regan laughed. 'He will probably- no he is going to be worse than an overprotective father with his daughter. How do I always end up in these situations?' He thought to himself with a shiver. 'Oh well, I'll handle everything he dishes out and it will be worth it all in the end.'

"I have an idea." Regan said interrupting his thoughts before they could wander farther.

"What?"

Regan grinned with that friendly evil grin of hers. "Let's grab my brothers and make them dance with the rest of us 'ladies and gentleman'."

Yugi nodded. They walked over to them and eventually with the help of Atem and Téa they got them off the wall to party with the rest of them. Mokuba was more into it then Kaiba as he was dancing like he didn't care while Kaiba was nagged and took turns with fun dances between Regan, Téa and several of the celebrity guests. There was one type of dance that everyone did complete and they were the ones that had simple moves that everyone knew or the song told what the moves were, like the Cha, Cha slide. Yugi enjoyed them the most as it was almost impossible to look like a fool, unless he was Joey who moved right instead of left.

After the dance the host came back on the stage. "I hope everyone had an excellent four hours of dancing."

There was a loud cheer as the audience showed that they enjoyed themselves.

"The bands will be posted tomorrow on the TV set along with who will be dancing with who in DDR or if they are creating strategies to defeat their opponents in Duel Monsters. The other games will be played and placed up on the timetable once the first round is over. Bands will not be played right away as you will need to practice your song selection. Tomorrow the tournament will begin with two games a day and eventually it will be singled down to a game a day and a song. Best of luck, oh and a reminder, if you lose one game, you are eliminated from the tournament." Devin paused to let the arrangements sink in. "I fare you all goodnight and be ready for anything."

The audience got excited again as he took a bow and left the stage. The lights came back on and people started to head out. Everyone wandered back to their hotel rooms and Yugi got separated from the group. Yugi walked into the hotel room and found Joey sitting on the couch surfing the channels. He started to head back to his room and saw Regan walk out of Kaiba's room. He waved and she smiled.

"Hey Yugi, can I change in your bathroom? Mai, Téa, or Atem aren't back yet and Mokuba and Seto are in their room."

"Sure," Yugi answered and led her to his dark room that was only lit by the bathroom light. He thought about turning on the light, but it was comforting to leave it off and Regan wandered to the bathroom with her bag and box. Yugi sat on the bed and she closed the door leaving the room in darkness and waited for Regan to come out again.

"So Yugi could you tell me what the rules for the tournament are, because that last little bit made no sense."

Yugi looked towards the bathroom and saw her shadow under the door. "Well there are seven rules.

Each participate must have an ID card on them before entering the gaming area.

Participates must show up at the arranged time with a five minute late time. If the participate doesn't show after the five minutes are up they are eliminated from the tournament.

Bands are set before the tournament begins. The bands are created by the communication at the opening ceremony dance.

If a gamer losers a game then they are eliminated from the tournament.

Band members that have been eliminated will still play in their assigned bands as each member is marked individually, but must play their best because there may be a another time when a loser match will happen to get back into the tournament.

Bands will be given five days to practice then play their three songs. If a band gets to the finals then they will have a battle against another finalist band which will be based off of how well each member plays each instrument in a four song battle.

There will be one male and one female winner at the end of the tournament and then there will be a final game between them with a compromised choice between the two. The winner of the game wins the prize and plays the host in a game of the winner's choice for a two out of three win.

And that's it."

"They do sound simple and it would be difficult for intruders to get into the game wouldn't it." Regan answered.

"I hope so." He responded lying back on the bed.

He heard the bathroom door click open and saw the light flood the room for a moment and then it was gone as it went off. He felt extremely light vibrations as Regan walked and he caught a scent of her shampoo.

"So do you want to go for a swim?" She asked in front of him.

He sat up again and looked at her. "I thought you were heading to bed?" He asked.

"No, I had three espressos shots in a coffee, which was disgusting, but now I have tons of energy."

"Oh, well if you put it that way, I do want to go swimming." Regan moved out of his way as he stood up and walked over to his bag. Even if it was dark, his senses were used to it and could see almost as good as he could see in the light, minus color, he couldn't see that very well. He grabbed his swim trunks that he bought earlier today. "You go ahead out to the pool. I'll meet you out there."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I need to do a few things before I go out anyway." He answered heading towards the bathroom.

"Okay then, see you later Yugi." Regan responded and he turned to watch her leave. He smiled to himself and went into the bathroom.

Regan walked out of Yugi's room to find Tristan and Joey passed out on the floor and Atem, Téa, Emily, which was a red head girl with pale skin and blue eyes that Tristan found, and Mai were sitting on the couch watching TV.

"What are ya watching?" She asked.

"Criminal Minds," Emily answered without looking away from the TV.

"Where are Seto and Mokuba?" She asked.

"Mokuba is sleeping and Kaiba went to the hotel lobby to do business." Mai replied also not looking away from the TV.

The four couch buddies laughed at Morgan's joke to Ried.

"Well if I'm needed, I'm in the pool and if Yugi starts to ask questions just tell him I have the answers." Regan told them.

"Ok." Atem and Téa stated in union.

Regan walked over to the door and saw her green towel material bathing suit cover that came to her knees reflect in the door. She opened the patio door and walked onto the deep green floor tiles. She grabbed a towel off of the shelving unit and set it onto one of the patio chairs far away from the pool just in case more company other than Yugi arrived along with her bag. She took off her cover to reveal her white bikini. She walked over to the other side of the pool and climbed up onto the diving board that was about four feet off the ground and four and a little feet off the water so what she figured it was so nobody would hit their head by accident. She looked at the clear water and then she dove in. She swam underwater to the other side of the warm pool. When she came up, it was smooth and quiet just like the room around her. She continued to swim around in the middle of the pool as she tried to figure out what the weird vision she saw was about and it didn't seem like Nile was popping up which was only natural because Regan didn't have her item on.

She thought back to what Seto had said earlier. That what she saw could have been memories, which would make no sense because she was not a full user yet. Unless it was because they all wanted to know what was up with their host and too see whether if he was a good guy, or if he was a bad guy and if he was, was he coming from the Dragon Slayers, Them, or one of Dark Matter's and Zorc's minions and that made her aura act up in order to fulfill their wishes, except she wasn't ready for such a task. She turned back to start another lap when she noticed something shiny at the bottom of the pool. She went under water and noticed it was near the deep end.

'I wonder what that is.' She thought to herself and came back up for air. She swam to just above it and then went under. She swam to the bottom which she had noted was fifteen feet deep and felt the pressure build, but she carried on anyway. When Regan got to the location the shiny object was a lot bigger than what it had seemed from above the surface. It had a diameter of four feet and it glowed with a white light which made it seem less metallic then what she thought it was. 'What is this thing doing here?'

She felt her oxygen level getting lower so she decided to touch it. The shiny circle glowed even more and scared Regan so she swam backwards. She watched the shiny thing like a television in horror as it gave its image but it wasn't the vision she wanted to see. It was the vision Pegasus had talked about and as it played she realized more and more this tournament may have a different ending. There was a coin toss flipped between Yugi and her, and then the scene changed to a bloody duel monsters battle that seemed like it was real in a dark void that matched the Shadow Realm. Then she saw herself brace for a ball of energy that was flying towards her and then the final picture was not what she expected. In it was her kneeling down beside a mutilated body that she vaguely recognized. When she took a closer look, she recognized it was Jade.

She kicked off the floor of the pool in a panic and reached the surface as fast as she could. "That body, it can't be her. There is no way she could be here." Regan shook her head to clear it and placed on a fighting face and clenched her fists in front of her. 'The future won't be like that, because it can't put in stone! Even if it could be, I certainly won't allow something like that to happen! I will make my own path and will make sure that woman, whether or not she truly deserves it, will not fall to such a terrible death!'
