One month after the battle with Aigami.

Yugi was in his bed a sleep tossing and turning having flash back like nightmares.

He saw the Atem when he was younger without the puzzle crying holding a still little Egyptian girl with her hair down in a white dress with a golden tiara around her head. He was crying and as he cried.

He ran with the girl to a statue of Slifer and said, "Osiris god of life and death please hear my cry, please bring back my little sister! She doesn't deserve to die because I failed to keep her safe please give her back!" He was in tears as the god showed up crying. "please give her back to me!"

Slifer or Osiris as he was known back then spoke first with his main mouth, "I'm sorry young prince but there is a set limit of years before a soul can return to this land." The second mouth then said, "But we can do the next best thing, you grant us part of your soul and well store it away so it will return to life alongside your sister's"

Atem cried," why not just take it all!"

Osiris then got closer and used his tail tip to whip a tear form Atem's eye, "because if I take it all you'll die leaving Egypt without a future ruler. And if you die past this day it'll be impossible for you to be reborn with her. This is the only way!"

Atem cried as he asked, " why can I live with this pain?"

Osiris then said, "I'll take it away from the half of your soul that remains I'll erase all trace of her so you won't remember till your souls are ready, you will remember her and gain her back, I can even promise you revenge on the demon that end her so young."

Atem cried and said, "then do it rip out half my soul! Take this pain from me!" he held the body and said, "little sister! I'm sorry! I'm sorry I failed you I hope you can forgive me in the next life!" he cried till Slifer moved his hand the body vanished and Atem looked confused as white energy left him.

Atem then fainted and Osiris said with both his mouths, "I am sorry this had to happen to you both, I'm also sorry I can't promise you'll be born into the same families again, but you will become brother and sister again."

Osiris then waved his hand sending Atem to his room on his bed to rest, he then held the ball and vanished with him and said, "Rest for now princess and rest for now half the future king. You'll be together again!"

In moments Yugi jumped up crying and panting he was pale and holding his head, "what was what!" he picked up his neck and looked till he found slifer's card the picture changed he looked to be in tears. Yugi cried, "What haven't you all told me!"

He then heard slifer's voice saying, "you will know when you are truly complete once more! Watch over your little sister this is your only second chance!"

Yugi shock his head and put his deck up and shock his head and looked out the window the sun was up. He saw a van pulling up he then check his calendar to day was marked, "Right mom and dad are sending over that orphaned ten girls they adopted over. Wait that's that makes her my little sister!"

Yugi's eyes widen the dream they would become brother and sister again. He held his heart missing the puzzle at that moment, "and here I thought my days of ancient mystery's was over for real!"

He quickly got changed and ran down stars to See her she, brown hair in pigtails, big brown eyes, dressed in a pink sweater with a pink skirt and white stockings and brown shoes.

Yugi blinked as the image of Atem's little sister appeared over her's a perfect match, His eyes widen and he got down and held his hand out to her, she was holding a bag nervously, "Hi I'm Yugi muto I guess I'm your big brother now!"

Chiyo shock it and said, "Chiyo, and were to I know you form."

Grandpa muto then walked " you probably saw him on tv he is the duel monsters champion."

Chiyo then blinked, "you mean that nerdy game?" Yugi and grandpa then fell over.

Later that night Yugi was in this room looking in the mirror shaking his head, "ok you dreamed about the pharaoh giving up part of his soul so he could be with his sister again and a girl matching said sister shows up. Does that mean I'm the part he gave up?"

Yugi held his heart, "am I truly a fragment of the pharaoh?" while he was wondering he heard a scream coming from across the hall and ran over to Chiyo's room to see the bed empty and the window opened.

A message was carved into the wall that said, "looks like I snatched your sister out from under you again! What's it like to fail at being a big brother for the second time? You want her back meet me at the dock."

Yugi then quickly ran to his room grabbed his deck and duel disk and ran outside, "No I won't fail again!"

Once to the docks Yugi he saw a boat giving off a dark fog and walked in to it once on the boat he found himself in a copy of an Egyptian throne room on the thorn sat a man with blue skin.

He had horns and bat wings he was dressed in just leather pants he walked up to what looked like a stone duel area plat form. "remember me Pharaoh? Oh I'm sorry half of the pharaoh? "

Yugi blinked as his head hurt the memories came memories of being Atem happily playing with the past life of Chiyo til lone night he ran to her room after hearing a scream to see this man standing over her body holding a bloodied knife and he flow off saying "How can you be king you can't even protect your little sister!"

The memories then end and Yugi was crying at the past life memories, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER!?"

He snapped his finger and Chiyo was brought in shaking and wide eyed by the monster humanoid slime, "the monsters are real! How are they real?"

The demon said, "here let me remind you both!" a gate then opened a a white orb flow in and hit yugi!

In mometns Yugi turned to look just like the pharaoh the memories became clear. Chiyo then held her head in pain, "what's going on!?

The demon, "Simple little girl your remembering your past life one I end now that I've put your brother back together again!"

Yugi pant as he held his head he remembered now, "I was the pharaoh's hope and joy, the things you took form him that day!" He growled as the eye of Anubis appeared on his forehead followed by the puzzle magically appearing.

The demon laughed, "those are the things love to take away, now then Pharaoh, Atem yugi, whatever you want to be called I've opened the gates and unite your souls! This brakes the rules so now something grater has to go to the afterlife to make things event again! what's grater then part a soul, a whole one!"

Yugi turned on his duel disk, "you made this into a shadow game!"

Chiyo then screamed as the monster let her go and a cage of bone appeared and made her hang form the celling she was screaming a crying. "HELP!"

Yugi tried to reach her but couldn't bone shackles were around his legs.

The demon said, "yes it's a shadow game and unlike last time I'm giving you a chance to save your sister! You win my soul is ripped out forever dead, I win and your sister goes in my place!"

Chiyo screamed and cried, "SAY WHAT!"

The demon then pulled out a deck and shuffled, "Now let's see if you can finally live up to your promise to never let anything hurt her!"

The demon then starts as life point counters appeared over him and Yugi. They were at four thousand.

The demon started by playing a spell making a giant copy of it appear before him "I play Samsara now this spell sends monsters that go to the graveyard for ritual summons back to the deck"

He then played a spell card, "Now contract with the Abyss this spell summons any dark attribute ritual monster!" he then sent two monsters to the graveyard which were. then sent back to his deck which shuffled its self. "Come on out Chakra!"

The fiend then appeared it's button making a whole in the ground (Chakra atk 2450 ) " Now I'll set a card and as I have no more cards in my hand that ends my turn!"

Yugi then drew he looked to the crying Chiyo and he teared up, "I'm sorry you got involved in this Chiyo, I won't let anything hurt you again! I won't' fail!"

Chiyo cried as more memories came to her.

Yugi then summoned out skilled dark magician In attack mode (skilled dark magician atk 1900 ) he then played the spell card pot of greed and drew two cards as his monster's chest light lit up.

Form his hand Watapon jumped to the field in defense mode (def 300) Yugi then played mark of the dragon destroyer adding buster blader to his hand.

Yugi growled as he set a card so he only had two cards in his hand, "My turn is over!" he growled!

The demon then starts his turn by playing a spell card, "enemy number draw!" the card had a man drawing three cards because three monsters were on the other side of the field, "It's what it says I draw a card for ever monster you have! So that's too!"

He then drew and smiled as he played a spell, "Advanced ritual arts now I send normal monsters to the graveyard who's level is equal a ritual monster in my hand, but thanks to Samsara they'll just go back to the deck, so I get a ritual monster for nothing!"

The demon then summoned a monster " Come on out Garlandolf king of destruction! The ritual monster then appeared and his effect kicked in as he said, "when I appear all other monsters are destroyed and I gain 100 attack points for each one!" Yugi's monsters then explode and the king of destruction grow stronger. ( Garlandolf atk 2500-2700) the ritual monster then punched Yugi in the gut making his eyes widen as he felt no pain, but then Chiyo screamed bloody murder in pain His eyes widen, "When I lose life points she feels it!" (Yugi life points 4000-1300)

The demon laughed, "yes how does it feel pharaoh to have your sister take your pain!"

Chiyo was screaming a crying and Yugi was in tears as he growled, "I would call you a monster but that would be an insult to the cards! Why are you doing this!?"

The demon then said, "because it's fun!"

Yugi or the pharaoh's true reincarnation growled as he drew, "DEMON!" he looked at the card and said, "I'm sorry about this Chiyo!" he then cried as he played premature burial! ( Yugi life points 1300-500)

Yugi then set his last two cards face down and hit a button making emergence previsions pop up, " I sent this two cards to the graveyard to boost my life points! Please let this work!" the cards exploded ( Yugi life points 500-2500)

Chiyo then cried a little less as she felt less pain, and Yugi smiled and said, "I'm sorry!" He held his head crying!

The demon drew as he said, "Well now aren't you something!" he drew and set a card face down in defense mode

Yugi then drew and order his monsters to attack! When they struck the monster popped up to be penguin solider and as he died his effect send both of Yugi's monsters to his hand leaving him or Chiyo defenseless.

The demon laughed, "what's it life to be standing before your sister and being unable to protect her to be unable to stop me from hurting her!"

Yugi drew while crying, "you demon!" he looked at his hand and played a spell, "Card of destruction sent your hand to the graveyard and draw that many!" both players sent their hands to the graveyard and Yugi drew three cards and the demon drew one.

Yugi smiled as he said, "You won't hurt my sister anymore! I send one card form my hand to the graveyard to summon forth the tricky!" as he sent a card to the graveyard the Trick jumped to the field in attack mode (trick atk 2000)

Chiyo's cage then vanished as Yugi dove to catch her! As he grabbed her he said, "I'm sorry!"

The throne room then became a normal boat hall as Yugi held Chiyo while crying, the shadow game was over. Chiyo passed out alive but sleeping he cried as he held her close, "Twice! Twice I let the same beast hurt you! I'm sorry! I'm sorry for both life times!"

He then ran off to the dock and saw a work and yelled, "sir please my little sister is hurt call an ambulance!"

The worker pulled out his phone.

The next morning Chiyo woke up to see a sleep Yugi. Yugi was crying as he said, "I'm sorry I could protect you Chiyo!"

Chiyo then sat up and notice the puzzle and touched it making it glow, "It wasn't a dream!" She then jumped out of bed and hugged him, "It's ok! I'm still alive! And he's gone!"

Yugi held her while crying!
