==========================================

You felt his hands stroke your hair as reassurance you were actually here. His body was trembling as he embraced you, but after a minute or so, he seemed to finally calm down. Silence was tense in the room until he spoke,

"Are you alright? Where is Nymphi? Are you both safe? Nothing bad happened, right?"

Feeling overwhelmed by the number of questions already up in the air, you pulled away from the hug and cupped his cheeks,

"First off, calm down. Too many questions up in the air." You assured, "First off, I'm fine...just...this new setting is a lot to take in." You looked around the massive room then realized how different Yami looked in contrast to how he looked before; Yami's skin was tanned, and he wore a sleeveless white dress with a golden belt that had a blue sash up to his knees. Around one of his shoulders is a golden wing that held back part of his dark violet cape that was elegantly wrapped around his torso. His crown was the Millenium Eye that comfortably rested on his head with golden wings blending in with his hair. Noticing the golden arm braces on his arms and legs, you took a step back and realized something new about Yami.

Yami....looks even hotter than how he looked before.

It seemed he had taken notice of his, and he rose an eyebrow with a smirk,

"What's wrong? Enjoying the view~?"

"Ju...Just a little bit..." You automatically responded without thinking straight. He chuckled in response and crossed his arms,

"It's alright, I am as well." He admitted with his eyes also checking you out, "I knew you'd look good in a dress."

"Wh-" Your eyes finally locked with Yami's crimson eyes, "I always thought dresses wouldn't suit me."

"You're lying." Yami gasped, shocked at your response, "You look amazing!"

"I liked the leather on you though." You mumbled with narrowed eyes.

He laughed, "I don't think Egypt at our actual time has leather."

"It suited you though." You nodded,

"Tell that to Yugi, it was his choice. Speaking of, I wonder how he's doing in the tournament...I did leave mid-duel."

"Wait..hold on-" Shocked, you stared at Yami, "You just....left?"

"Yes," Yami nodded, "Think of it like you barged in my room and stayed in there. That's the best way I can explain it. Without hesitation, I felt my spirit leave the puzzle and sped over to...suddenly this time." Yami vaguely explained, "Speaking of....I....I can't describe it...but I knew something was wrong long prior I sensed you." Yami responded, "...I felt like something went wrong. (Y/n), how did you get here? Especially before me?"

"Well....uh..." you gritted your teeth, "...don't uh....get mad or anything."

"Why would I?" Yami's eyebrows furrowed and his hand rested on his hip,

"Well...uh...." You chuckled nervously, "See...uh....Nymphi and I...were....uh....forced here."

"How?" Yami tensed up and intensely stared at you,

"Uh...Ya see...Bakura - well, it was more of the spirit in the Millenium Ring, kinda snatched us before the tournament and made us come here." You answered and watched his face fall. From intense, you could feel his soul tremble in anger yet his face showed a blank expression with fierce crimson eyes. His soul was trembling that caught a few sparks of pure anger which caused his body to tremble. It seemed like he was trying his absolute best to keep himself calm, his fists clenched and his crimson eyes locked to the ground. His breaths were staggered with rage,
