Chapter 2

Soon the light died down, Yugi still had his eyes covered, when he heard Bakura shouted and he heard a deep voice saying, "You're not the innocence one that had awaked me." Yugi uncovered his eyes to see a young man, holding Bakura up in the air by his shirt. The young man's crimson eyes glared at Bakura. Yugi then notice that form the neck down, the man was cover with the mummy's wrappings. Hanging around the young man's neck was a golden upside down pyramid. What surprise Yugi the most was the young man had that same hair as him expect more blond was jetting up into the mess of black and red. But also, for a 5 thousand year old mummy, the Pharaoh looked like he had just woken up for one night sleep, and still looks to be around 17 years of age.

Yugi walked slowly up next to the young man and gently tug on the Egyptian-type pants he was wearing. "P-Pharaoh Yu-Gi-Oh?" Yugi asked with a gulp.

The Pharaoh looked down at him with his crimson eyes. At first he was glaring at Yugi with them, but then they turn soft as he let go of Bakura. Bakura dropped on the floor hard on his rear. "Ow!" Bakura said "That hurt."

"So," the Pharaoh started with a smile "It is you with the innocence soul that has awaken me." Yugi at first couldn't say anything, but blushed. For some odd reason he liked the ancient Pharaoh. The Pharaoh, still smiling, patted Yugi on the head and then started to look around the room slowly and quite confused. "Where am I?" he asked.

"Y-You're at Domingo's History Museum," Yugi started "Domingo, Japan."

The Pharaoh looked at Yugi with confused questioning eyes. "Japan?" he asked.

Suddenly a young woman wearing some Egyptian clothing walked into the room with some guards. She spies Bakura on the ground, then looked at the guards. "Arrest that young man." She said calmly as she pointed to Bakura "And take him out of here."

"Yes Miss Iris." Said one of the guards as he and other guard grabbed Bakura.

"Hey!" Bakura shouted, "Let me go!"

Yugi and the Pharaoh looked and saw them. Pharaoh Yu-Gi-Oh pulled Yugi protectly be hind him as he glares at the woman and the guards. The woman who was called Iris smiled at them. "Don't worry, Pharaoh Yu-Gi-Oh," she said as she slowly near them as the guards took Bakura out of the room "I'm in no danger of you or your young friend there."

Yu-Gi-Oh glared at her still. "Who are you?" he asked.

"My name is Iris Ishtar," she said "I'm the curator of this exhibit. My family, the Ishtars, have been waiting for the time for you to awaken."

"How long I was asleep?" Yu-Gi-Oh asked.

"For five thousand years, you highness." Iris said.

"Five thousand years…." Yugi said softly in aw, still behind the Pharaoh.

Iris came over and kneed in front of Yugi. "What your name little one?" she asked.

"Y-Yugi Mouto."

Yugi Mouto, Yu-Gi-Oh thought, as he looked down at the little teen what a nice name for someone as cute as him.

Iris smiled at Yugi. "You were properly wondering what all this about, huh?" she asked. Yugi nodded slowly, and Iris smiled again. "Lets all head to my place and I will tell all." She said, she notices the uncertain look Yu-Gi-Oh was giving her "Don't worry, your highness. Nothing will happen to you or to little Yugi here, I promise."

Yu-Gi-Oh sighed. "Very well." He said. Iris smiled and started to walk off. Yu-Gi-Oh sighed and slowly started to fallow with Yugi fallowing behind him.

Soon they arrived at Iris' place, and once they had gotten in a teenage boy with long blond hair, and a deep tan greeted them. He stared at Pharaoh Yu-Gi-Oh wide eyed, then looked at Iris. "Wow sis!" he said excited "He's awake now!"

Iris laughed a bit. "Yes Malik," she said then looked at Yu-Gi-Oh and Yugi, she had notice Yu-Gi-Oh giving the other boy a look "Your highness, Yugi, this is my little brother Malik."

"Hi." Yugi said with a smile. Yu-Gi-Oh just nodded a hello.

"Malik," Iris started "Go get the cloths."

The boy, Malik, nodded. "Yes sis." He said as he left to get what his sister asked him. Yu-Gi-Oh raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Yu-Gi-Oh sat near the window, just looking at the dark starry sky. He was now wearing an outfit made out of black leather, his Millennium Puzzle hung around his neck now on a chain instead of the rope. Yugi sat on the couch looking up at Iris. "So," Yugi started "You were going to explain all this."

Iris, who sat on the chair across him, smiled. "Yes," she said, "I did say that didn't I." She clears her trough. "Five thousand years ago," she started "there was a special density in Egypt called the Yu-Gi-Oh Density. In this density had powerful and kind hearted pharaohs all named Yu-Gi-Oh."

"All of them?" Yugi asked "But how, why?" He looked over at Yu-Gi-Oh, who was still looking up at the night sky. He looked back at Iris. "If that so, then what of…?"

"Oh," Iris said, knowing what Yugi was going to asked, as she looked over at Yu-Gi-Oh "You highness?" Yu-Gi-Oh looked over at her with this questioning look on his face. "Yugi wants to know of your true name, before you became pharaoh." She said.

Yu-Gi-Oh got this deep look of thought on his face. "It had been so long," he started slowly "I've so use to be called Yu-Gi-Oh…" He then smiled. "Yami," he said, "My true name was Yami."

Iris smiled and gave a nod. "Thank you your highness." She said as she looked at Yugi "Shall I go on?" Yugi nodded slowly, Iris smiled. "Very well," she said "As I was saying all the pharaohs were called Yu-Gi-Oh because of the special power they had."

"Special power?" Yugi asked.

Iris nodded. "Shadow magic," she said, "they had to know that knowledge in order to by the Shadow Games."

"Shadow magic? Shadow Games?" Yugi asked confused.

"Shadow Games…" Iris started, trying the right way to explain to Yugi, then she knew "Well the Shadow Games are kind of like the card game Duel Monsters, but using real monsters, magic, and traps. Back in ancient Egypt, not many people knew how to play cause the game was quite dangerous, cause who ever loses would die. The pharaohs of this density were quite good at the games, that why all of them were called Yu-Gi-Oh, the King of Games."

"But if so why did Yu… I mean Yami, was mummified?" Yugi asked.

Iris just sighed. "No one really knows," she started, "And I don't he doesn't even remember."

"But what I don't get, if he's was mummified, why isn't he…?" Yugi asked.

Iris smiled. "It's his Millennium Puzzle, it protected and preserving his body until someone with an innocence soul to awaken him." she said.

"The Millennium Puzzle?" Yugi asked confused "What's that?"

Iris pointed to the puzzle hanging around Yami's neck. "See that up side down golden pyramid?" she asked, Yugi nodded, "That's the Millennium Puzzle."
