Chapter 6

The sun was starting to set as Yuriko hurriedly walked along the path to the old clubhouse. It actually resembled a small wooden cottage more than just some old child's clubhouse. Her parents built it for her and Yugi when they were both very young. It had one small room with a couple of cabinets on one side of the wall and a small window near the door. It was built large enough that even through the years her and Yugi used it, mainly, as a means of getting away from it all. When Yugi was ever upset she knew she would always find him there. It was there own special place.

She wrapped her sweater around her tighter. It had gotten a lot cooler these past couple of days. Fall was finally on its way. She smiled, approaching the door of the small house. She took a deep breath and opened the door.

"Hello. Yugi are you here?"

Glancing around the room, Yuriko couldn't believe her eyes. In the middle of the room was a small round table made for two and two white candles were lit, sitting in the middle of the table. The table was set with porcelain white plates and two champagne flutes that looked ready to be filled. There was another small square table against the wall and more candles were lit, giving the room a warm glow. She could smell the faint musky fragrance of the candles in the air, mingled with the alluring aroma of the food that had been prepared. But she didn't see Yugi in the room.

Stepping toward the table, she suddenly heard the door open behind her. She turned; her pale blue eyes met a pair of beautiful slanted eyes of amethyst. She gasped when she realized it wasn't quite Yugi who stood before her.

"Where's Yugi?"

"He let me have use of his body for this evening." He replied, walking closer to her.

She took a small step back, her eyes still fixated on him. He looked similar to Yugi but more mature and carried himself with such an air of confidence. He conveyed a unique coolness and moved with such fluidity.

His face leveled with hers. Looking straight into his eyes, she could see so many emotions emerge from deep within them. He stared intensely into her two round blue pools and she could hear his steady breath escaping his lips.

"What do you mean have use of his body?" she questioned, trying to understand what was happening.

"My name is Yami and I have been waiting for you."

"Waiting for me." She whispered, feeling more confused.

"We knew each other long ago in ancient Egypt. I know you are beginning to regain some of your past life memories. I can sense it through my millennium puzzle." He glanced down at the golden item hanging from its chain around his neck.

Yuriko never really looked at the item before, even though she had been around Yugi for several days. She remembered in one of his letters he wrote to her, he was working on solving some sort of puzzle. This must have been it. It had the same symbol as the item Bakura wore too. They must be connected.

Now that Yami made his presence known, she did feel certain comfort toward him. But some of the memories were still unclear. More than just mere images, feelings that had been locked far away were being remembered within her heart.

"I think I understand."

It was all she could say for the moment. His gaze bore into her and a flood of emotions fell in waves over her body. Feelings of protectiveness and tenderness overflowed her heart. An image of a comforting hand reaching for her flickered through her mind. Realizing it was because of him, because of Yami, she drew him close to her.

Yami gasped when he felt her body against him. He tenderly wrapped his arms around her and stroked her hair. Closing his eyes, he held her closer.

"I never thought I would be able to feel you in my arms again." He happily whispered into her ear.

He tilted his head back and a small smile formed his lips. Her fingers caressed the side of his cheek and it soothed him.

" Dinner will get cold if we don't go ahead and enjoy it. I'd hate for this thoughtful dinner to waste." She said.

He pulled out her chair and she sat down. Walking to the square table, he picked up the chilled bottle of champagne and popped it open. He filled both their glasses and sat down himself.

"Where did you get the champagne?" she asked, giving him a playful smile.

"Actually, Sugoroku was saving this for a special occasion."

"Then do you think it is a good idea for us to drink it?" She said.

"Well, it is a special occasion, princess," he smiled, "Reuniting of two old souls."

The candlelight in the room wavered and Yami's breath hastened. The warm candlelight softened her exquisite features and yearning grew within him. It had been so long since he had been with a woman. But he was glad, now that he had found her and was with her once again.
