~Alternate Universe Twist~ By Saiyan Moon Goddess

~Chapter 1: Familiar, Yet It Is Not~

Yugi opened his eyes slowly and groaned. His head hurt like hell. He sat up and put
a hand on his forehead while the other held on to something. He waited for his head
to stop pounding and looked down to see he was still clutching the katana Marlene gave him.

"Hiei's katana." he whispered and took in his surroundings. He was sitting on a soft
bed, the room was dark, the walls were made of stone, and the room was decorated
with artifacts that looked from the Middle Ages.

'What is this place?' He then noticed he was dressed in a black and purple tunic.
This place, his new clothes, reminded him of when he went inside that virtual game
to help save Seto. (I don't have to explain, this happened in the series.)

'Is this really an alternated universe? Then...how will I go back?' His thoughts were
interrupted when he heard the room's door opening. A man stepped in.

"Ah, you're awake." he said. "I was starting to become impatient. You've been
sleeping for hours."

Yugi blinked, eyes widened. 'No way! Isn't that....Pegasus?!' "Pegasus?" he asked
uncertaintly.

"Pegasus?" the man said. "I never thought you were one for good humor. Don't you
remember me? It's me, Max."

"Uh, yeah." Yugi stared at him. The man looked exactly like Pegasus, except that
his hair was short and he didn't wore the Millenium Eye.

"Really, boy." Max said. "I thought you were a house person. You always stayed
isolated in your home and never came out. I mean, your brother hardly leaves the
place also." He sat beside Yugi.

'What is he talking about?' Yugi thought. 'I don't have a brother.'

Max stared at Yugi in the eyes. "So tell me, Nessuro, what were you doing unconscious
in my garden?"

(SMG: "I took names randomly from my japanese diccionary.")

"Nessuro? But my name is Yugi, not Nessuro." Yugi protested.

"Nessuro, if this is a joke is really lame." said Max looking bored.

"But I'm telling you the truth! I don't know anyone called Nessuro."

Max eyed Yugi up and down seriously and searched his eyes to see if he was lying.
But his eyes looked so sincere. "Well, Nessuro never looked at me like that anyway.
He despises me." said Max. "But then again, Nessuro...." He didn't finish the
sentence. "Now that I see you closely, you don't look exactly like him. Nessuro is a
bit taller, his eyes are dark, and his brother would die of shock if he had
your....innocent-looking eyes."

"Who is Nessuro? And his brother?"

"Nessuro owns mosts of the lands in this kingdom. He's the most rich and powerful
man next to the king. He and his little brother Neil have live together since their
parents died some years ago." Max explained.

"Gee, that's awful." said Yugi.

"But that's not all of it. Ever since their parents died, Nessuro and Neil hardly leave
their home, especially Nessuro. He became distant to everyone. Hardly everyone has
seen him."

"How old is he?"

"Eighteen, and his brother is sixteen."

Yugi stared at the katana. 'What kind of world did I end up in? I just learned I
have an alternate double, or something.'

"Yugi, since you're not Nessuro, then tell me what were you doing in my garden."

Yugi turned to Max. "I...I was lost."

Max glanced at his katana. "Are you a wandering warrior?"

Unconsciously, not knowing a good excuse to explain his situation, Yugi said: "Hai!"
'What else can I say? I'm came from another dimension? He'll never believe me!'

"Do you have anywhere else to go?"

"Iie." Yugi shook his head. 'Please don't ask me where I'm from.' he pleaded
mentally.

"I could use another bodyguard. The last one I had was too weak. What do you say?"

'He must be pretty powerful to have bodyguards. It's my best chance. I could stay
here until I find a way back to my dimension.' "Sounds great." He answered.

"Good, but first I would like to test just how good of a warrior you are." Max
said. "I want you to challenge my strongest soldier."

Yugi paled slightly. 'Challenge? I don't like the sound of that.' "Okay." 'Did
I just say that?!'

"Come along, then." Yugi and Max stood up and left the room. The walked through
a hallway. "Korosu must be in the training room."

Along the way, a girl dressed in drags passed by them, bomping into Yugi in the
process. "Oh, excuse me." Yugi said. But the girl didn't seem to hear him and
continued her way. He barely got a glimpse of her face because she walked so fast.

Max noticed the girl and the little incident. "Worthless slave." he muttered calmly.
"I'll have to deal with her later."

'That girl...' Yugi turned around to look at the girl once more. She was gone.

"Come Yugi. Were here." Yugi turned again and followed Max into a room. As soon as
he entered he wanted out. The training room had such a strong sweat smell, Yugi
felt nauseous.

"Korosu, I have a new challenge for you." Max called a huge man sitting in a corner
of the room, who was sharpening a sword. The man stopped what he was doing, stood
up, and approached them.

"Who wants to challenge me, my lord?" Korosu said.

Yugi stared wide-eyed. 'Bandit Keith?!' The guy did look like Keith, but his hair
was long to his shoulders, tied in a low ponytail, and he was bigger than the Keith
he knew. 'I'm suppossed to fight HIM? It's like asking for suicide. Besides, what
am I going to fight with? I don't have my Twin Sword with me. Wait.' He looked
down at the sword he held. 'Could I use Hiei's katana? Maybe. It's my only choice.'
He didn't notice that Max and Korosu were done talking until Max called him.

"Yugi, Korosu is ready. I must warn you that he won't go easy on you. So you can't
go soft on him either. Understand?"

Yugi gulped and nodded.

"You can make it a fight to the death if you want." Max declared and stepped
away from the danger zone.

'And he looks willing to kill me.' Yugi thought grimly as he saw the bloodlust
in Korosu's eyes. 'Unfortunately, there's no turning back. I just hope what
Marlene taught me was enough. Yugi and Korosu got into fighting positions. Yugi held
the sword in his left hand and got his right hand close to the hilt, ready to
unseath it. They stared at each other's eyes. Yugi's eyes were serious while
Korosu looked really to kill. They waited for a signal.

Max drank from a glass cup of wine. When he finished, he let it drop. It broke.

That was the signal.

insanely*

Yugi: "Please review! I want to know what happens too."
