//..........//-Yami
/.........../-Yuugi
*.............*-Private thoughts
'.............'-telepathic conversation between two people.

Yuugi wakes up and streches, accidently hitting Yami on his chest. A mutter startles Yuugi and he turns to see Yami. Smirking, Yuugi shakes his head. Glancing at the bedside clock, Yuugi sees it is nearly seven in the morning. Jumping out of bed, Yuugi runs into his bathroom, and takes his shower. Zooming out of the bathroom ten minutes later, Yuugi sees Yami is still asleep. Worried, Yuugi shakes Yami gently. Yami then says something in Ancient Egyptian.

/Yami! Wake up! I gotta get to school and Okaasan doesn't know of you!/ yells Yuugi telepathically. That jerks Yami awake enough that he disappears into the Millennuim Puzzle. Yuugi groans to himself as he runs out the door downstairs. Grabbing his sock and shoes, he hurriedlys ths them on, grabs a muffin and hurriedly says goodbye to his mom and Jiisan.

Meanwhile, in the Millennuim Puzzle, Yami is going through a journal, muttering to himself in Ancient Egyptian.

"Where the hell is it?! I know i had it here last night!" says Yami as he grabs a second and third journal, all with either the name 'Yuugi' or 'Yami' on it. Opening an old one, dating to around 92 BC, Yami jerks it open and sighs in relief. An velvet box in in the journal. The journal's pages are glued together and cut out. It is lined in velvet and the box is perfect, in mint condition. Opening the box, Yami sighs as the ring from when he proposed to Yuugi during the Silver Millennuim is still in there.

"Pharoah?" asks the Dark Magician walking in, his staff at his side.

"What?" barks Yami, not even looking toward the Dark Magician. (AN-Yes, I know, you are all screaming at me for adding a new character. Don't panic!! The Dark Magician is only in for a three or four chapters, that's it.)

"Has Pharoah Yuugi remembered yet?" asks the Dark Magician.

"Somewhat." snarls Yami as he turns around. His expression relaxes when he sees it is the Dark Magician.

"Going to give him the ring?" asks the Dark Magician leaning on his staff.

"Later!" says Yami. Suddenly, and for no reason at all, Yami falls to the floor, clutching his chest as if in pain. Dark Magician runs over as a bright light fortells the arrival of Yami's guardian animal, Latana. She runs over and her Moon Insignia glows, alevating the pain for now.

"What happened?" asks Latana as the Dark Magician places Yami on his huge bed.

"He just collapsed." says the Dark Magician. Yami's Sennen Eye and his Moon Insignia then appear, and Latana understands.

"It's too soon! How can this be happening now?!" says Latana.

"What?" asks the Dark Magician.

"Yami is the King of Games right?" asks Latana.

"Yes."

"Well he is also the Moon Prince, and his powers run on light energy like his shadow powers on don dark energy! The powers are fighting each other for control, and it's going to slowly destroy Yami!" says Latana.

"How do we save him?" asks Dark Magician.

"Only the Uranus Prince can save him and all of us guardian cats got our memories blocked of him!" says Latana.

Outside, as Yuugi enters his classroom, he falls to the ground, breathing hard and clutching at his chest where his heart is.

"Mouto-san!" screams the girls who have a crush on him. This causes Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Anzu, Bakura, Honda, and Jounouchi to look up. They see Yuugi and immediately run to his aid.

"Iguuy?" asks Usagi, reverting to Ancient Lunarian. (1)

"Imay sti!" says Yuugi in pain as he breathes hard. "Truh seh!" (2)

"Ysae ti ekat tsuj yako." says Usagi. "Enif eb lleh." (3)

"Please go see him." whispers Yuugi before fainting. Anzu catches him and the others hide Usagi as she disappears into the Millennuim Puzzle. Somehow, however, a hologram of her caring for Yuugi is in her place.

In the Puzzle, Usagi appears, and the Dark Magician nor Latana notice her. They are too busy trying to keep Yami from dying on them.

"Move." says Usagi with an authority she's never used. Latana immediately moves, recognizing Usagi's voice. The Dark Magician, however, doesn't and points his staff at Usagi. Usagi waves her hand and the Staff flies out of his hands. The Dark Magician scrambles for it but as he points it at Usagi, he stops. Usagi is holding out a small crystal object that is glowing white light. It seems to be helping Yami instead of hurting him.

"Who are you?" asks the Dark Magician. Usagi turns and smiles at him.

"I am Princess Serenity, Yami's sister. I thank you for trying to protect him." says Usagi.

"You're the person he calls Serene?" asks Dark Magician surprised. Usagi starts
laughing, causing Latana to look at her in surprise.

"I see my brother has a friend. Yes, I am that Serene." says Usagi. "And for right now, Yami will be asleep until I can come back later with Yuugi and Setsuna. Dark Magician, the second Yami seems to start being in pain, get me. I don't care if school is going and i'm in the middle of class, you get me. Yami's wellbeing in more important than my secret about being Sailor Moon, or the Moon Princess."

"Yes, hime." says the Dark Magician. Usagi nods and disappears. She reappears and the hologram disappears. Yuugi wakes up, pain down to a dull ache which he can stand.

"He'll be fine." says Usagi. Yuugi stands and the dull ache lessens enough that Yuugi doesn't have to concentrate on it for it to hurt less.

"Thanks Usagi." says Yuugi.

"No prob, now, let's go to second hour!" says Usagi. The whole group leaves for Gym.

"What happened?" asks Jounouchi.

"Something is wrong with Yami. I used the Silver Imperium Crystal to halt whatever is hurting Yami, but it will wear off sometime today." says Usagi.

"Will he be allright?" asks Yuugi.

"If we can cure him, he'll be fine." says Usagi. "And we will cure him."

"I hope so. I do not want to lose him." says Yuugi.

"And you won't." says Usagi as they enter gym. "mih evol uoy sa gnol sa." (4)

"Woh?!" asks Yuugi. (5)

"I remeber your past." says Usagi.

"You aren't lying are you?" asks Yuugi, despite the fact he doesn't truely believe her.

"Nope." says Usagi.

"Look out!" yells Rei as she and Makoto push Usagi and Yuugi out of the way as Poppers appear.

"Get those two!" snarls a popper. Everyone else in the gym is speechless.

"Protect hime!" yells Setsuna running into the room with Haruka and Michiru. Haruka and Michiru go to protect Usagi.

"Protect Yuugi! He's the one they want!" says Usagi standing up and roundhouse kicka poa popper into the ceiling.

"DIE!!" says Haruka as she picks up a Popper and throws it toward Rei, who is using her Aku Ryo Tai San things to stop them in their tracks. Yuugi is frightened and trying to stay as close as possible to Michiru, who is beating up Poppers if they near him. The other pupils watch in shock as Usagi, mind you Usagi, the unathletic one to them, runs around the gym, disposing of Poppers as if they were bugs you kill because you didn't like them. UsagUsagi! Duck!" yells Minako. Usagi ducks and a Popper flies over her head and into the wall.

"AKU RYO TAI SAN!" yells Rei throwing her parchment on the Popper. It freezes. Throughout all this, no one noticed Anzu, Bakura, Honda, or Jounouchi leaving the room.

"Mars Flame Ribbons Fireburn!"

"Jupiter Lightning Storm Strike!"

"Venus Lovelight Abrade Lightstorm!"

"Mercury Ice Tsunami Slam!"
The four attacks disintergrates four poppers.

"Silver Senshi!" snarls a popper as Anzu, Bakura, Jounouchi, and Honda appear in the doorway, Anzu's skirt blowing in the wind and Bakura, Jounouchi, and Honda's cloaks blowing in the wind. However, there is no wind at all.

"With the Bless ofs of Mars, I am the guardian sworn to protect the Prince, I am Sailor North Mars, Guardian of the Flames!" yells Anzu.

"With the Blessings of Mercury, I am the guardian sworn to protect the Prince, I am Mercury Warrior, Guardian of the Seas!" yells Honda.

"With the Blessings of Jupiter, I am the guardian sworn to protect the Prince, I am Jupiter Warrior, Guardian of Storms!" yells Bakura.

"And With the Blessings of Venus, I am the guardian sworn to protect the Prince, I am Venus Warrior, Guardian of the Light!" yells Jounouchi.

"We are the Silver North Senshi!" they yell.

"Die!" yells Poppers.

"Mars Flame Ri-" starts Anzu but Rei jumps on a Popper. The Popper grins and disappears with Rei.

"Rei!" yells Usagi as Rei disappears. Minako, Makoto, Ami, Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna each grab a Popper, to throw them at the Silver North Senshi, bomehomehow, the Poppers disappear with them.

"MINNA!" shrieks Usagi, not noticing the Popper behind her.

"MARS FLAME RIBBONS FIREBURN!" yells Anzu. Her ribbons surround the Popper and disintergrating it, leaving only one Popper left, and that Popper is ten feet away from Yuugi.

"Yuugi!" yells Honda. Yuugi sees the Popper but before he can do anything, a bright purple light appears, and the Dark Magician reintergrates in the light.

"The Dark Magician!" says everyone in the gym that knows Duel Monsters cards.

"Dark Magic Attack!" yells the Dark Magician, turning the popper into dust. He then turns to Usagi.

"Hime, Yami is in pain." says the Dark Magician.

"How come I don't feel it?" asks Yuugi.

"Latana is keeping you from feeling Yami's pain." says Usagi standing. Anzu, Honda, Bakura, and Jounouchi walk to heheirheir new mission to protect her.

"Take me to him, now!" says Yuugi.

"Come with me. North Mars, your mission right now is to protect the Millennuim Puzzle." says Usagi before she, the Dark Magician, and Yuugi disappear into the Puzzle. The Puzzle clunks to the ground and Anzu grabs it.

"What about them?" asks Jounouchi pointing to the kids.

"Mars Stardust!" says Anzu. Red dust floats over the kids and they forget everything that has happened as Anzu, Honda, Bakura, and Jounouchi leave.

In the Puzzle, Yuugi, Usagi, and the Dark Magician appear.

"Yami!" says Yuugi running to Yami's side. Yami is wincing in extreme pain, however, it lessens as Yuugi nears him.

"Aibou." says Yami softly before becoming unconsious.

"What's happening?" asks Yuugi as he climbs onto the bed and pulls Yami onto his lap.

"Yami is dying." says Usagi. "His Shadow Realm powers and his Moon powers are fighting each other for dominance. This war is tearing his body apart. The only cure is for you to awake as the Uranus Prince and heal him, but it might be too late before you do."

"No.." says Yuugi as he starts to cry.

"Hime, wouldn't the Planet Crystal help?" asks Latana.

"No, Latana, it wouldn't, because it's not real." says Usagi.

"I thought it was." says Latana.

"The Planet Crystal was a rumor, started back when King Apollo built the Moon Kingdom with his husband, King Horus. It is not real." says Usagi.

"Then is there another crystal?" asks Latana.

"Yes, the Egyptian Crystal." says Usagi. "It was made by King Horus when Apollo
built the Silver Imperium Crystal. However, as only females can wield the Silver Crystal, only males can wield the Egyptian Crys"
"

"Will it save Yami?" asks Yuugi, eyes blurred with tears.

"No." says Usagi. "And I don't know what can."

"This sucks." says Yuugi. "It really, really sucks!"

"I agree. I agree." says Usagi. Yuugi starts crying, and Usagi's heart breaks.

"I must leave, watch over those two. Get me if Yami starts to get worse." says Usagi to the Dark Magician. He nods and Usagi disappears and reappears outside the Puzzle. She blinks in surprise as she is in Mamoru Chiba's house. Anzu, Bakura, Honda, and Jounouchi are asleep on his couch, and they are detransformed. Walking softly into Mamoru's bedroom, Usagi sees that he is sitting on the balcony, moonlight falling on him. Walking out to him, Usagi climbs into his lap and starts crying. Mamoru just wraps his arms around her as she cries.

"Shh, Usako." says Mamoru comfortingly.

"I can't do anything Mamo-chan!" sobs Usagi. "Minna was taken by the enemy, my brother, Yami, is dying and neither myself nor Yuugi can do anything!"

"Who's Yuugi?" asks Mamoru.

"The Uranus Prince." says Usagi, tears drying up. "And Yami's lover."

"Remember us?" asks Mamoru. "How our love conquered everything?"

"Yes." says Usagi.

"If Yuugi and Yami love each other like you and I do, then we have nothing to worry about. Remember, Love Conquers All." says Mamoru.

"I know, but Yuugi doesn't remember he loves Yami, and that is the only thing that can save Yami!" says Usagi.

"Usako, he still loves Yami, even though he doesn't remember. I bet you that Yuugi is refalling in love with Yami and Yami him." says Mamoru.

"I hope so." says Usagi before falling asleep in Mamoru's arms.

In the Puzzle, Yuugi is dreaming. Dreaming of the Silver Millennuim.
(Dream)
Yuugi is in a soft bed, that has navy blue and silver designs on it. His head is resting on a chest and two arms are around his waist. Glancing up, he looks loving upon Yami's sleeping face. They are both naked and covered by the covers.

"Yuugi?" yawns a sleepy Yami as he awakens.

"Morning koi." whispers Yuugi as he kisses Yami. Yami kisses back and Yuugi melts into the kiss. They break and look into each other's eyes lovingly.

"Love you." says Yuugi.

"I love you too." says Yami yawning. Yuugi smiles and rests his head on Yami's chest.

"Yami?" asks Yuugi.

"Hmm?" asks Yami.

"Do you think i'll ever come into my powers? I mean, I know I have them." says Yuugi.

"Yuugi, your powers will surface when they are needed. Like mine. However, my powers are different than yours." says Yami.

"I know, yours are light and dark." says Yuugi.

"Yes, and that works, for me. That means I can use my powers when I need too, in light and in dark. However, for you, your powers are selective. Yours only works in light, which means if you are ever in a place ruled by darkness, you can't survive, yet." says Yami.

"What do you mean, yet?" asks Yuugi climbing ontop of Yami and looking into his eyes.

"Koi, you and me are different. You know how Usagi can use her powers and recieve the powers of her senshi?" asks Yami.

"Yes." says Yuugi.

"You can do the same, and so can I, but only with you and you can share you powers only with me." says Yami.

"I'm confused." says Yuugi. (AN-and I bet some of you are too. Hell, i'm confused and i'm writing the fic!)

"Koi, you can use my dark powers or my light powers and I can use yours. However, this can also work the opposite way. I can give you all of my light powers and only use dark or I can give you all of my dark powers and only use light." says Yami.

"Yami, you are a Moon Prince, so how can you use Dark?" asks Yuugi.

"I don't know koi, but I do know that you are the only reason I can control it. Remember yesterday?" asks Yami.

"I remember. Your mother said you were dying and I ran to your room and told you not to leave me because I love you." says Yuugi.

"That saved me. Your love for me and mine for you somehow stopped my powers from destroying me. I believe that when you did, and I said I love you too, that put an unbreakable barrier between them, allowing me to survive." says Yami.
(AN-Get it now? Or have I totally and completely lost you? Basically, Yuugi's love for Yami and Yami's love for Yuugi saved Yami from complete annilation.)
(end)

Yuugi shoots up, the dream vivid in his mind, along with his other dreams.

"These are too vivid to be dreams, as I remember them after I have them and I don't remr mor most of my dreams. Could these be memories?" asks Yuugi to himself. He glances at Yami and his eyes widen. Yami's body is flickering with light and dark. It's almost like Yuugi can see the war between them. He sniffs, tears falling, and hugs Yami's body. Yuugi then gasps in surprise as the realization that he can't feel Yami's pulse hits him.

"YAMI!!" screams Yuugi awakening Latana, The Dark Magician, and outside the puzzle, Usagi, Mamoru, Anzu, Honda, Jounouchi, and Bakura.

2-It's Yami! He's Hurt

3-Okay, just take it easy. He'll be fine.

4-As long as you love him. (AN-No, it's not a reference to the Backstreet Boys song, As Long As You Love Me, though that does fit Yami and Yuugi, doesn't it?)

5-How?!
