A Crazy Day

It was almost a week since Erika and Yami were alone. They wanted to be but never got a chance. It was a crazy time though. School let out for the summer break, Grandpa was getting the game shop summer-proof, and Yugi was always finding a way to get Erika in a Duel. Of course Yami didn't help them. Yugi would take off the Millenium Puzzle and have Yami watch their duels. Erika won quite a lot of their duels. Once in a while Yugi would win but for some strange reason Erika would always beat him.

"How do you always beat me? I mean I can beat just about anybody with or without Yami but not you," Yugi finally asked one day.

"I do what you and Grandpa told me. Believe in the Heart of the Cards and you will succeed," Erika smiled. "You know maybe you should use Yami just this one duel and see how you do," Erika suggested.

"Well if you really want to be beaten," said Yugi. He saw were this was going.

A few seconds later, Yugi was no longer himself, he was Yami.

"I really can't believe that you're that desperate to lose," Yami teased.

"Oh I won't lose," smiled Erika with a wink.

"Now your gonna get it," said Yami with his usual duel monsters fire in his eyes.

"Bring it on," yelled Erika as she and Yami put their decks in the duel systems.

"It's time to duel," the couple said.

"I'll start this duel of by playing the Celtic Guardian in attack mode," yelled Yami. "And I'll play one card face down."

Erika had the same exact deck as Yugi did so the knew each others' cards pretty well. "My first move will be to play Pot of Greed. This allows me to draw two new cards," said Erika. Of course she and Yugi had cards the other didn't. "Then I play three cards face down and summon The Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress."

This was an unexpected move. Yami spent the duels Yugi and Erika had studying their strategies, and never once did Erika start with the Winged Dragon. "I'll sacrifice the Celtic Guardian to summon Curse of Dragon. Curse of Dragon attach her Winged Dragon."

Curse of Dragon demolished Erika's dragon, leaving her at 3600 life points.

"Nice move Yami but you feel into my trap," smiled Erika.

"What?"

"That's right. You activated my trap card, Offering of the Graced. This card allows me to take your Curse of Dragon and one monster from my hand and sacrifice them to bring out a monster. And so I will summon Gia the Fierce Knight," explained Erika.

"Nice move Eri but I will beat you. I have never lost a duel as long as Yugi trusted me," smiled Yami as his life points went down to 1700.

"That's it. Now I have to be-"

"Erika telephone," yelled Grandpa from downstairs.

"I got it Grandpa," said Erika as she picked up the phone. It was going to be the first time she didn't know who it was since she now had a lot of friends. "Hello?"

"Hey Erika," it was Seto's husky voice.

"Oh Hey Seto what's up?" asked Erika with a glare of distaste as both Yami and Yugi sighed.

"Nothing really I just wanted to know what you were doing tomorrow."

"I'm not doing anything yet, but if you want to do something."

"Yes that's why I called. I'll pick you up and the game shop at 10:30?" asked Seto.

"Okay, but you don't mind if I wear the Millenium Puzzle again do you. It was kinda comfortable," said Erika with a wink to Yami. She had to know who she loved more and what better way then to be with the two men that she loved.

"Oh, alright," said Seto. He didn't like that puzzle but if it made Erika happy than he would be okay with it. "I'll see you tomorrow. Bye."

And with that Seto hung up the phone.

"What was that all about?" asked Yami with an unhappy look.

"Well I made plans with Seto and I want to have you, well in the Millenium come along because." Erika couldn't bring herself to say that she loved him and Seto. "Yami, can I talk to Yugi? Alone? I mean can you two like separate your minds for a second?"

"Yeah sure," said Yami. It looked like the duel was over as Erika had a very serious face one.

"Erika what's wrong?" asked Yugi. He and Yami did what Erika had asked.

Tears began to fill Erika's eyes. "Oh Yugi I have a terrible problem," she cried.

"What? What type of problem?" asked Yugi sitting down next to his sister. He put his arm around her.

"It's kinda hard to explain."

"Take your time."

"It's just that.what I mean is.what I'm trying to say is that.I guess.well.alright.I love.no.I really love two people," Erika had a hard time finding the right words.

"Who?" asked Yugi with concern. He was afraid that it was Duke and Bakura but hoped it wasn't.

"S-S-S-Seto Kabia and K-K-K-K-King Yami," Erika looked away from her brother.

"Erika why didn't you tell me before?" asked Yugi. He had no idea that history would repeat itself in this form.

"I guess I was afraid of what you would say. I mean you're not the best of friends with Seto and Yami is a 5 thousand year old pharaoh," Erika explained.

"Erika I know you're going to find this hard to believe but I have no choice but to accept the fact that you love these two men and if I can help you in any way I will always be there for you," smiled Yugi.

"Oh Yugi, you're the best brother anyone could ask for," cried Erika. She hugged her brother and cried in his arms. They sat there for awhile holding each other as though it was the end of the world.

About an hour later, however, Erika began to feel a little better. After promising to be more open with Yugi she went down to the Game Shop to rearrange some of the displays. Yugi said he would be down in a minute to help. He wanted to talk to Yami but couldn't think of a thing to describe what had just happened. How was he going to tell his counter part that Erika was in love with him and Kabia?

Yugi didn't know so he just went down to help.


"Ishizu come here," yelled Marik.

"What is it my brother?" Ishizu asked with concern. For the past week, she, Marik, Odeon, and Shadi had been studying the scriptures about Erika.

"We think we found something out about the bottom one," said Odeon.

"What? But that's impossible, we have been having so much trouble with it," said Ishizu in shock.

"What we found out is that Erika is the only one who can bring back the Pharaoh from his entrapment in the Millenium Puzzle," said Shadi.

"How?" asked Ishizu.

"We're still not sure Sister, but you have to call Yami. He told us to call them if we learned anything," Marik reminded.

"I have a better idea, we shall lead Erika and Kabia here. They have a date tomorrow and Erika shall be wearing the Millenium Puzzle which will allow us to prove to Kabia that his past is most certainly real," replied Ishizu as she lightly touched her Millenium Necklace.

"That's pure genius," said Marik.

"A great plan," commented Odeon.

"And I shall take the honor of making sure they eventually find their way here, with the help of my Millenium Key," suggested Shadi.

"Then it's settled," said Ishizu.


Erika and Yugi worked late into the evening working on the displays. Most of the time they would argue but that was to make up for those lost years. However, the two enjoyed themselves. After the displays were done they ate dinner with Grandpa. During dinner they three talked about Duel Monsters. The conversation continued for a few hours, until, Yugi reminded Erika that she had a date with Kabia tomorrow.

As soon as Erika got into her bed she feel asleep, which for Yugi was good because he wanted to talk to Yami.

"Yami? Yami?" Yugi asked uncertainly.

"Hello Yugi. What's wrong?" asked Yami knowing that look in Yugi's eyes.

"It's nothing," said Yugi. He couldn't bring himself to tell Yami that Erika loved him and Seto.

"Aibou I know something is." Yami didn't finish what he was saying. He saw Erika sleeping in a tank top pajama set and his face flushed.

"Yami? Yami what's wrong?" asked Yugi with concern.

"Yugi, I'll tell you but you might not believe me and you can't tell anyone," said Yami in a threatening voice.

"I promise Yami. You can trust me."

"Alright.Yugi.I'm in love," said the pharaoh looking away from Yugi.

"Really, with who?" Yugi asked with interest.

Yami didn't know how to say it. He looked over to Erika and back at Yugi.

"OH," said Yugi as though he understood what Yami was trying to say. Yugi knew that Seto loved Erika, but he had no idea that Yami loved her too.

"I wish I could tell her, but she might think it's weird that a 5 thousand year old pharaoh loves her," said Yami as he walked over to Erika's bed.

"You would be surprised," replied Yugi remembering what Erika told him this morning.

"Do you think that she might love someone like me?" asked Yami now sitting on Erika's bed, stroking her hair, and looking at Yugi.

"You know, I'm sure of it. Good-night Yami," said Yugi as he laid down to sleep.

"Good-night Yugi," said Yami as he laid down next to Erika, still stroking her hair.


~*~*~*~*DREAM*~*~*~*~

"My dear what's wrong?" asked a strange yet familiar voice.

"Yami, I don't know," said a soft voice.

"Erika you must tell me, I can sense something is wrong just by looking in you eyes," said Yami. He knew that his queen could not hide anything from him.

"My pharaoh, I fear that the world one day will come close to destruction again," she said holding her Millenium Necklace.

"How can you tell?" asked the Pharaoh.

"My Necklace has showed me the future. I'm going to regret saying this but we must entrap you spirit inside your Millenium Puzzle, for you are the only one who can save the world again," Erika explained through a horde of tears.

And with that the Pharaoh took his queen in his arms and they shared a very passionate, very slow, very important kiss.

~*~*~*~*DREAM*~*~*~*~

Erika awoke with a jolt from her slumber. She saw Yami did the same. And it was still night.

"Yami what just happened?" Erika asked.

"I'm not sure, but were you dreaming the same thing that I was dreaming?" asked the pharaoh.

"Ancient Egypt, You as the Pharaoh, me as your queen wearing the Millenium Necklace?" asked Erika. "Yeah, sounds familiar," she said with concern and panic.

"But it felt so familiar as though it really happened," replied Yami.

"It did but it felt so weird."

"Agreed. Do you think we should tell Yugi?"

"No, we shouldn't worry him until we know more about you past and this dream."

"Don't forget your past as well," reminded Yami.

Erika didn't know what to say. She knew Yami was right, but how was she going to tell Yugi. And to top things off she had a date with Seto tomorrow.

"Okay Eri, take one step at a time," she said to herself.

Erika saw that Yami and fallen back to sleep and decided to do the same. She laid her head on his bare chest and put her hand on his heart. Erika hoped that when she awoke, Yami would have pushed her off in disgust, as Erika wasn't thinking strait right now. Of course, little did Erika know, Yami was enjoying this as much as Erik was. He put one hand on her shoulder and with the other stroked and played around with her hair.

(A/N) Ooo tension. Will Erika pick Yami or Seto? Or maybe she'll fall in love with Marik. If you review you'll find out what happens.
