~Alternate Universe Twist~ By Saiyan Moon Goddess

~Chapter 7: She Sees Double....And Something Else~

Yugi fell backwards toward the spikes.

"AAAAHHHH!!!"

And suddenly he stopped in mid air, his body a few inches from the spikes.

"Huh? What the-?" he said as he floated above the spikes. He glanced up and his eyes widened at
what he saw.

"Kage!" he called.

Kage knelt before the hole on the top, his arm stretched downward into the hole. His hand
shook a little and sweat went down his face. He seemed to be consentrating or something.

"Kage?" Yugi called again.

Koneko came into view and kneeled beside Kage.

"Yugi, hang on!" she yelled. "Kage will get you out!"

As if on cue, Yugi's body started floating upwards, to the hole's entrance.

'How is he doing this?' Yugi thought.

Yugi floated safely out of the hole and was placed on his feet beside Kage and Koneko. Kage
breathed a long sigh and relaxed a little. Yugi stared at him.

"How did you-?"

"Telekinesis." Koneko interrupted him. "He was born with mentals abilities such as telekinesis
and telepathy. But he has a hard time lifting people and heavy things."

"Oh."

Back in Yugi's dimension, Marlene, Ryou, and Bakura stared at Yami.

"What happened?" Marlene said. "Is Yugi okay?"

"He's okay now." said Yami. "Somebody is with him."

Marlene sighed in relief, then said, "This is frustrating. I'll have to use my Telepathy
Transfer."

"Your what?" said Ryou.

"Wait. Come here, Yami." Marlene went over to Yami and placed her hands on each side of his
head. Her hands and eyes glowed a soft blue for a minute. Then the glow was gone.

"Is that all?" said Bakura.

"Follow me to the living room." Marlene ran out the door with the guys behind her.

When they reached the living room, the group there was either shocked or relieved when they
saw Marlene and Yami. They bombered them with questions.

"Guys, wait a minute!" Marlene yelled and everyone was silent. "There's no time to explain, so
I'll make it brief." Marlene only explained about her Telepathy Transfer spell.

"It's a spell I perfected a few weeks ago. I can tranfer Yami's bond with Yugi into any object
and we can see what Yugi's doing. In this case, we need a tv."

"Excellent idea, Marlene-chan!" Ryou said.

"Sounds great!" Katsuya (I'm changing from surnames to first names) yelled excited. "Let's see
it!"

Yami and Bakura pulled the tv closer to the big couch and set in on front. Everyone sat on the
couch or the floor. Katsuya and Hiroto disappeared into the kitchen.

"Now." Marlene knelt in front of the tv. She placed both hands on either side of the machine.
They glowed blue. After a minute the glow was gone and Marlene turned on the tv. She then went
to the others and sat on the couch's arm. At first, everything was static, and they started
hearing voices.

"Are you okay, Yugi?" said a familiar female voice.

"How did you fall into that hole?" said a male voice.

The image cleared up on the screen. Everyone rejoyced when they saw Yugi while Katsuya and
Hiroto came back from the kitchen with pop corn and sodas. They sat down with the others.

A blonde girl and a black-haired boy stood in front of Yugi.

"I don't know." said Yugi inside the tv. Everything played like a movie. "I was walking around
and suddenly the ground gave up under me."

The blonde smirked. "You're heavier than you look, Yugi."

"Very funny, Koneko."

"Don't that girl look familiar?" Katsuya asked. He turned to Marlene. "Hey, Marlene, she looks
like you."

But Marlene didn't hear him. She was currently staring shocked at the screen.

'My GOD, I have a double!'She turned to the red-eyed boy beside her silver-eyed double and
gasped. Her eyes widened.

"It...can't...be." she whispered. She studied the boy's features. Same hair, same eye color, his
eyes were more refined, face more angular, a little more muscled than she last remembered him,
a little taller, and his third eye and headband were missing.

"Marlene, are you alright?" Yami asked her. When she didn't respond, he waved a hand in front
of her face. "Hello?" She sat there like a statue. The pharaoh pressed one finger against her
shoulder, and the princess fell off the couch to the floor like a wooden board. Her eyes stayed
open.

"Did she just fainted with her eyes open?" Mokuba asked.

"Yes, Mokuba, she did." said Seto.

Yami and Bakura lifted the blonde up and lay her down on another big couch. Yami closed her
eyes.

All other eyes were on the screen of the tv.

Back in the AU, Yuke, Jin, and Jono joined up with the little group. Kage stood in the middle.

"We should get going." he said. "It's a ten-day walk to Kotao."

"Everyone, move on!" Yugi commanded. The group nodded and continued on their path toward the
far country. Yugi, as the leader, walked in the front. Kage beside him. Koneko decided to stay
behind the group. She seemed to want to keep distance from a certain someone.

"Is the forest that big?" Yugi asked Kage.

Kage shook his head. "We should get out of the forest by tomorrow afternoon."

Yugi nodded, determined and serious. "Good."

Kage glanced at the boy. 'This is strange. After Koneko and I found Yugi, the whispering voices
of the forest were no longer heard. And the monster that tried to hurt Koneko disappeared.
Not one appeared after that. Yugi is the one. I definately have no doubts about it anymore.'

Yugi was thinking his own thoughts, but they we're interrupted by a voice in his head.

//Yugi?// Yami whispered so he wouldn't startle him.

Yugi's head snapped up in surprise. He took a quick nervous glance at Kage. Since he was a
telepath, he could sense Yugi's mental conversations. He hoped his mental defences were strong
enough so he wouldn't notice.

/Yami?/

//Yugi, I felt you being in danger earlier-//

/Don't worry, Yami. I'm fine./

//I know....Aibou, who those people with you?//

Yugi almost froze in place. His eyes widened a bit. /What are you talking about?/

//I'm talking about that girl that looks like Marlene, the soldier that looks like Katsuya, and
the other three soldiers.//

/But...how can you see them?!/

//Actually, we're all watching from a tv set.//

/WHAT?!/ Yugi thought about it, then something came up. /Uh, Yami? Did Marlene use a spell
called Telepathy Transfer, by any chance?/

//Why yes.//

Yugi mentally groaned. ¬__¬ /I'm going to kill her./

//Why?//

Opps. He forgot he was still talking to Yami. /It's not fair./ he whined /You can't just watch
my every move like this! This isn't a movie, you know!/

//Sorry, it's already done. Katsuya and Hiroto brought the pop corn.//

Yugi tensed. /Who else is watching?/

//All of our friends.//

Yugi mentally groaned again. /What is Marlene doing?/

//She fainted.//

/What? Why?/

//It appears she saw something in the screen that was familiar to her. I could've sworn she
stared at one of the soldiers who's accompaning you, then fainted.//

Yugi had an idea of who it was. Maybe this could confirm his suspicions a little more. /Who did
she stare at?/

//That boy with the spicky hair and almond-shaped blue eyes.//

'Kage.' Yugi thought. Then he noticed said person was staring at him with a weird look. /Yami,
give me a moment./

Yugi turned to Hiei's lookalike. "What is it, Kage?"

"You spaced out for while there." Kage said, frowning in worry. "Your eyes were blank and you
looked like a doll. Are you alright?"

Yugi smiled. "Yes, everything's okay."

Kage nodded and looked foward. 'I couldn't read his mind to find out what was wrong. How can
his mental defenses be that strong? What is he hidding?' he thought.

Yugi mentally sighed in relief. His eyes were blank again as he continued to talk with his
yami. /Yami./

//Yes, Aibou?//

/I can't talk right now. But I'll make it brief. The girl who looks like Marlene is her
alternate self from this dimension. Her name is Koneko./

//The name suits her.//

/Yeah, well, the boy next to me is Kage. Maybe Marlene met his alternate self in our dimension.
The readhead soldier is Jin, the blonde is Jono, Katsuya's alternate self, and the other boy
with black hair is Yuke. We're on a mission to rescue a kidnapped prince. That's all I can say
right now./

//You're leading this group?//

/Sort of. I'm surprised they chose me to be the leader since they barely know me. But Kage is
leading the way to our destination since I have no idea where it is./

//Okay. Just be careful, Aibou.//

/Yami, please, I can take care of myself. I've told you that before./

//Sorry.//

Yugi rolled his eyes and continued his way. 'Great. I'm going on a dangerous mission and Marlene,
Yami, and the others are watching my every move. This is JUST GREAT!' He then remembered about
the cards the Black Magician Girl gave him. 'I'll read their inscripcions later. In private.'

Kage turned to Yugi. "It's already late, Yugi. We can camp here and rest until morning."

Yugi nodded to him. He turned to the others. "We're camping here!" he annouced.

Everyone took out their respective sleeping bag and slept on the ground. Yugi couldn't fall
asleep.

'How can I sleep when I feel like someone is watching me? And I'm not talking about Marlene and
the others. Someone is out there. He's watching. I just know it. And I feel his evil presence
through this whole area. I hope nothing bad happens.' He closed his eyes. Eventually he managed
to fall asleep.

Unknown to him, Koneko couldn't sleep either. She was all tense up, like she was expecting
something to come out of nowhere and attack. 'Damn. It's him. He's watching me again. Why won't
he leave me alone? Why does he treat me this way? It's not fair. I don't remember doing anything
wrong. What could I've done to deserve such treatment from him? I thought he was my friend. He
proved me wrong, 8 years ago.' A tear escaped her eye and she stayed awake for another hour
before going to sleep.

They were both right, someone was watching them.

Inside a dark room, a young man sat in his throne and a boy sat beside him on the floor with his
head bowed in submission. The man's elbow supported his head as he stared at the big circle
in front of him. This circle showed Koneko's image, sleeping restlessly. He smirked, the shadows
covering his face, but not his spicky hair. He waved his free hand and the image changed to
Yugi's sleeping figure.

"So, The Prophecy of Light is coming true." he said. "I won't let that runt stand in my way."

The boy beside him lifted his head to look at Yugi's image. He gasped. He looked to the one on
the throne as he waved his hand again and the circle split in two. One circle had Yugi's image
and the other had Koneko's.

"No, please..." he whispered. His voice hoarse and filled with pain. The bruises and blood on
his body didn't help.

The man turned to him and glared. The dark one was an exact duplicate of the boy. Except that
their hair was a bit different and the dark one's eyes were much darker and evil. other than
that, they looked the same age. "Please what?" he hissed.

The teenager shuddered in fear. "P-Please, m-master, d-don't hurt them." he said softly.

The dark one growled and raised a hand to backhand him. The boy flinched immediately, bowed
his head, and placed both arms over it, whimpering in fear and shutting his eyes tight, waiting
for the pain to come.

The dark one smirked down at him and lowered his hand. "I already did you the favor of going
easy on you even after you disobeyed me like that. You know I would've done more than just beat
you up. Do you want me to go back on my word?"

The boy backed away, still on the floor, and shook his head.

"Good then." he turned back to the images. "I'll just get rid of the runt. And I'll take blondie
back. Don't you want to see your dear friend again?"

"If you're going to treat her like you did last time, I'd rather not." The teen bowed his head
in sadness.

"You don't want me to hurt her or the others, right?"

The boy hugged his legs. "Yes."

"Then, fine, I won't hurt them. In fact, I'll even give you back my little pet."

The boy raised his head and stared at his master in desbelief.

The man raised his index finger, silencing him before he could talk. "BUT, you'll have to do
something for me."

The boy bowed his head again. "Anything, to keep them safe."

The dark one smirked again. "Excellent choice. I'll tell you what you have to do."
