The next day a very nervous and excited Sehrazat waited for Yugi to pick her up on the crossroad which partet their two homes.
In her sweaty palms, she holds a Bento-Box, wrapped in a cute cloth with little Kuribohs on it.
"I hope he likes it.", mumbled Sehrzat unsure. "I hope he doesn't think I'm weird."
Yesterday evening she had called Kihana, to not only tell her how she found another Milliunium Item (Even THE Puzzle!) but also in regards to Yugi.
Sehrazat was...inexperienced in this kind of feeling.
When your stomach was full of butterflies, your knees so weak and you just want to be close to another person, in any way possible.
Yeah, she realised...she had a crush on Yugi.
Kihana had said this was love at first sight and had cooed at her, saying how grown up Sehrazat was now.
In answer, Sehrazat had mumbled some embarrassed words.
Anyway, Kihana had already a relationship behind her, so she was prepared to help Sehrazat with her love life.
Her best friend told her, she should make Yugi a Bento, like in anime!
It seemed also to be a custom in the normal world here in Japan.
Sehrazat had worried that she would come on too strong, but Kihana said from what she told of Yugi and how he reacted towards her, it would go well.
Sehrazat could only hope.
She doesn't want to miss this chance with Yugi!
Never in her life did she want someone like she wanted Yugi!
It was so crazy!
They only met a day ago and talked a bit, however, the dark blue-haired beauty had a feeling she had known Yugi for an eternity.
Love was really crazy.
Signing she looked at her wristwatch.
Yugi would be here any second.
Under no circumstances she would make a complete idiot out of herself.
She could do it!
SHE COULD DO IT!
"Good Morning, Sehrazat-Chan."
"Gaaah!"
Not expecting Yugi to just pop up during her own pep-talk the poor girl jumped nearly two meters in the air and with love made Bento-Box slipped from her hands!
Before she could cry out in sadness and anger, Yugi caught it.
Puh!
Thank Isis!
"I'm sorry Sehrazat-Chan.", whinend Yugi. Awesome, he scared his crush! Way to go Yugi! "I didn't mean to startle you."
After taking a deep breath to calm herself, the girl answered: "No, no, don't worry Yugi-Kun. I was in thought. It was not your fault."
"If you are sure...I'm again sorry...Here!"
The tri-coloured-haired teen holds the Bento-Box out to her.
"I'm sorry I nearly made you drop your lunch."
Oh, dear Hathor...Sehrazat felt how her ears got hot from embarrassment.
She coughed and shuffled with her feet.
"It's...it's for you..."
"Erm, what Sehrazat-Chan?"
Oh, damn it!
"I-I made this for you!", said Sehrazat loud and clear, feeling her ears burning hotter. "I hope you enjoy it!"
Stupified Yugi looked from this girl goddess to the bento in his hands and then back to her.
An enormous blush formed on his cheeks.
Did...did he hear right?
"Y-You made this for me?!", he stuttered in disbelief.
The beautiful girl just nodded rapidly.
Yugi's brain formally short-circuited.
A girl, a beautiful and kind girl, made him a bento?
Made HIM a Bento?!
What?!
He was...speechless.
This made Sehrazat in turn unsure, seeing Yugi imitating a statue.
"I'm sorry! This was stupid. I will take it back."
"No, please don't!"
Now Sehrazat was looking at Yugi stupified.
Yugi with flaming red cheeks, who was sweating buckets, formally hugged the Bento-Box to himself.
"I was just surprised...I'm really thankful for this Bento-Box. Thank you Sehrazat-Chan!", declared Yugi with a bow.
Relieved the girl said: "Please Yugi-Kun, it was my pleasure you don't have to bow."
"No, I have to. No one ever made me a Bento-Box, I feel honoured."
Both their eyes found each other and suddenly they felt calmer.
Yes, the butterflies were still there, but looking at the other's beautiful, familiar eyes, helped them.
They chuckled and made their way to school.
"Wait...that's Kuriboh on the cloth?! Do you like Duel Monsters, Sehrazat-Chan?!"
"Like it? I adore it! I have my own Deck!"
"No way, me too!"
For the rest of their walk, they talked about Duel Monsters and strategies.
Both of them felt how they grew closer.
It was an amazing feeling.
When they arrived at school, Ushio was waiting for them.
What did he want?
"Yugi-Kun and Sehrazat-Chan, may I have a moment?", asked the big buff guy.
"What do you want us to see, Ushio-San?", wondered Yugi, as they followed him behind the school.
"Just come with me. I bet you two will be delighted."
There were certainly not.
Shocked Yugi and Sehrazat stared at a beat-up Jonouchi and Honda!
Yugi tried to run up to them, while Sehrazat stayed frozen in place scared.
She knew Ushio was bad news.
Where was Kihana?
She needed her best friend!
Ushio stopped Yugi.
"What do you think, Yugi-Kun?"
"What's the meaning of this...?", answered Yugi back with his own question.
"I told you and Sehrazat-Chan. I, Ushio, have become your bodyguard. So I decided to teach these little bullies here a lesson!"
"No way!", shouted Yugi in disbelief. "Ushio-San! This is too much! Are you alright, Jonouchi-Kun?! Honda-Kun?!"
Sehrazat heard how Jonouchi under pain mumbled to Yugi if he was satisfied now and Yugi answered that he never asked for something this cruel.
Then Ushio came between them and showed Yugi away, so he could kick Jonouchi in the stomach.
The only girl whined and started to cry.
This was too much for her.
She wanted to help, but couldn't.
Why was she so such a coward?
Without Kihana she couldn't do anything!
Other than Sehrazat who was paralyzed by her own fears and self-doubts, Yugi courageously stepped before Jonouchi and Honda, spreading his arms.
"Stop this already!", demanded Yugi from Ushio.
"Hey now, Yugi-Kun. Are you protecting them? What a weird guy you are.", stated Ushio. "It's a good chance to pay them back for everything they've done. Punch them! Kick them!"
"There's no way I can do that to my friends!"
Not only was Ushio surprised about this statement, but also Sehrazat and the poor beat-up boys stared in disbelief at Yugi.
Ushio laughed.
"You're a special case, alright...Friends, you call them? These two have been freakin' bullying and using you as an errand boy for a long time, you know!"
"They weren't bullying me...", disagreed Yugi. "Jonouchi-Kun was just teaching me to be a man!"
"God, you're weird, alright. Forget it. By the way, Yugi-Kun and Sehrazat-Chan it's time for you to pay up. My bodyguard fee of 400000 yen!"
What the?!
"400000 Yen?!", gasped Yugi shocked.
With the words, he would wait that they paid him Ushio left them.
Finally, Sehrazat could move again.
"Y-Yugi-Kun, let's help Jonouchi-Kun and Honda-Kun!"
Her crush nodded in agreement, while the two beat-up guys looked at them in disbelief.
The most Jonouchi.
"Why?", he asked. "Why are you helping us?"
"You are my friends."
"I rather have friends than enemies.", added Sehrazat.
Somehow the two short teens managed to help the two taller boys up, so they could walk to the Nurse's Office.
Yugi and Sehrazat wanted to still help them, but Jonouchi said it was okay.
So the two stayed behind and watched them go.
(*)
Later, when they were walking back home, Yugi and Sehrazat talked.
"You can't be serious.", said Yugi and shook his head. "You can't pay Ushio alone."
"Yugi, my family is well I can pay him. I don't want him near us again."
They stopped at their crossroad.
"Sehrazat-Chan, please don't pay him...I will think of something.", promised Yugi.
The girl frowned.
"I will still take the money with me, only just in case."
Since both felt the other wouldn't give up, they waved goodbye to each other and got to their homes.
Sehrazat was doing her homework when she saw Yugi running towards school again.
She got a bad feeling in her stomach.
Ready to follow him, she stopped in her tracks as she felt a pull.
The Milliunuim Fragment...like this, she couldn't help him, this showed today...even if she didn't believe the magic powers behind the Milliunium Items...maybe it could still give her courage.
So she took the teardrop-formed amulet with the eye of Horus out of the box and put it on.
At the same time, Yugi put the final piece of the Millennium Puzzle in it.
And both know no more.
(*)
She had slept for so long, the world was not what it once was, however thanks to the memory of the girl who awoke her she found HIM.
He was standing proudly, the Eye of Horus, shining on his forehead, ready to punish this Ushio who had tormented their young hosts.
"You wouldn't start without me, would you?", she purred.
He greeted her with a sexy smirk.
"I knew I felt a familiar presence. Welcome my queen."
"My Pharaoh."
The Spirit of the Puzzle took her hand and kissed it, while with her free hand, she caressed his cheek.
Both smiled devilishly and proclaimed: "Now...it's time for a game...!"
Suddenly Ushio found himself bonded on a rope, hanging from a water tower.
"What in the hell?!"
He looked up and saw Yugi and Sehrazat standing side by side on the water tower.
But something was strange about them.
Not only did they wear jewellery he never saw, but both were taller and seemed older.
Yugi's hair was wilder, and his eyes were blood red.
Sehrazat hair reached her bottom and she was more curved than before.
However, both had in common the evil sadistic look they sent him.
"Hey Ushio-San.", greeted Yugi.
"The money you're after is right here.", told Sehrazat, holding an envelope up.
"What?! You mean the money?!", asked Ushio. "Then Yugi really didn't need to go through all that! Now hurry yo and give it to me!"
Sehrazat tutted him and with tape fixed the envelope on the highest point of the Water Tower.
"That' wouldn't be fun.", she proclaimed, wrapping her arms around Yugi's shoulders, while Yugi had an arm around her waist and nodded in agreement.
"What did you say?!"
"Well? Feel up to playing a little game with me?", answered him Yugi with a question.
"A game?!"
"But this will be no ordinary game."
Together the pair grinned even more sadistic and declared together: "It's a Shadow Game."
"Ha! Interesting! I, Ushio, have never lost a game in my life! I accept"
"That's our Ushio-San for you.", said Yugi to Sehrazat, kissing her throat.
She laughed sinfully and showed him a bit away.
"You can later get your prize from me after you defeat him."
With a last cheek kiss to Sehrazat, Yugi jumped down to Ushio, he was tied by the rope as well and put cards in a straight line on the water tower.
The game was simple, they moved up paces by the number of the cards they drew, who reached first Sehrazat, would get the money.
Ushio and Yugi played for a while, till Yugi was nearly beside Sehrazat.
The last draw would proclaim the winner.
Sadly for Ushio, he got the Joker, which was zero points.
He didn't like it one bit and started to move paces without drawing cards anymore.
"Someone is being naughty.", said Sehrazat to Yugi, being back in his embrace.
"If you do that, the consequences will be fierce.", reminded Yugi, gripping Sehrazat's curvy waist tight.
"Shut the hell up, both of you!", shouted Ushio back.
He didn't care anymore for their stupid little game.
He wanted the money!
Ushio reached Yugi and Sehrazat, hitting them, so they fell down together.
"As we thought, it seems you just can't follow rules.", called the two while falling.
"Now fall!", laughed Ushio as he broke the robe.
It seemed like Yugi and Sehrazat fell to their doom.
What did Ushio care?
He had the money!
However, as he opened the envelope he found only a letter with the words 'Cheater' on it.
From under him, Ushio could hear Yugi and Sehrazat calling: "The Door of Darkness has been opened."
Ushio didn't understand how he lost grip, but now he was falling down the water tower.
As he fell, Ushio saw, that Yugi had pierced with his upside-down pyramid the water tower and he and Sehrazat were hanging from it without problems, still in an embrace.
"The Shadow Gamnes bring out a person's true characteristics.", explained Yugi. "You shall be swallowed in darkness by the form of your own greed."
Laughing in triumph Sehrazat and Yugi saw how Ushio was 'eaten' by giant worms.
Of course, it was an illusion, but this scumbag didn't deserve it better.
"My Pharoah, if you don't mind.", began Sehrazat taking her Milliunium Fragment off.
"As you please my queen.", he answered back.
The Milliunuim Fragment turned into a golden whip and Sehrazat swung them both to safety.
"So about my price?", purred Yugi, kissing along her throat.
"My pharaoh you will get it, alright, but we should bring our hosts home."
With a sign, Yugi let go of her.
"Indeed you are right, my queen, let's go."
They took each other hands and walked Yugi and Sehrazat's body to their homes.
"Mmh."
"What is it my pharaoh?"
"We need names...can you remember our names, my dear?"
"Sadly not."
"Then how about Yami for me and...-"
"I will be Afya."
"Sounds perfect."
(*)
The next day Yugi and Sehrazat walked together to school, none the wiser that they now shared bodies with ancient Egyptian spirits.
No, both wore their Milliunim Items happy.
They didn't know what exactly happened, but Ushio wasn't in school anymore.
Smiling Sehrzat looked at how Jonouchi declared himself a friend of Yugi before he ran off and Yugi after him, with the shoe Jonouchi lost.
The young girl couldn't help but giggle, following after them.
Maybe she could be happy in Domino with such friends!
(*)
Meanwhile, in the deeps of the souls of Yugi and Sehrazat, four rooms had formed.
On the left side were two childish, innocent and pure rooms and on the right two dark and mysterious doors with the eye of Horus.
This showed how the Puzzle and Fragment as their host were now connected.
Which was perfect for the two Yami's.
They were in Afya's soul room, a giant Egyptian palace, in her Sleeping Chambers, getting reaccounted with each other.
Naked and spent they lay in each other embrace.
"I missed your warmth.", mumbled Yami into Afya's shoulder kissing it.
Afya, who was buried under him, turned her head so she could kiss him on the mouth.
"We forgot so much...but I'm glad we didn't forget each other."
"I could never forget you.", Yami growled and started to move again.
"You are mine for eternity as I am yours!"
"Ah! Yes, my love!"
Afya let out a soft moan, as she moved with him.
Their physical connection was incredible, they still remember how to pleasure the other.
And they had the whole day to do so.
(*)
In the outside world, Yugi and Sehrazat had no idea why they suddenly felt so hot and bothered.
They couldn't even look each other in the eye.
It was so weird.
From somewhere deep in their minds, both swore to hear amused laughter.
(*)
So I gave the Millium Fragment a new power. It's not a shield anymore, but it can turn in any weapon. Atem's Mother preferred a shield to protect her, but our Yanara was a warrior queen and used the Fragment in any weapon form she knew about.
