The other Yugi had a serious expression on, as well as Anzu. Akia knew that they had seen something similar to what she was shown. When the other Yugi saw Akia, he took her by the wrist and led her far from both Bakura and Anzu.

Bakura tried to follow them, but Anzu stopped him. "He wants to talk to her alone... Sorry, Bakura-kun."

When they were far enough from their two friends, the other Yugi stopped and looked Akia in the eyes. "You talked with Ishizu-san too, didn't you?"

Akia nodded.

"So you know... that I'm the spirit of the nameless pharaoh," Yugi confirmed with her.

"Among other things, yeah," Akia replied.

"Other things?"

"Actually, she also revealed to me who I was back then."

The other Yugi's eyes widened in surprise. "You're also involved into this? What did she tell you?"

"She told me that I was the daughter of some lunatic who worshipped the Dark Lord, whoever that is. Apparently I was granted the ability to read the Millennium Spellbook to summon that seemingly evil entity. Other than that, I think she told me what she told you. She also mentioned the Egyptian god cards."

"Yes... According to Ishizu-san's words, the three Egyptian god cards are the first step to recovering my lost memory."

"We definitely need to find them then. Let me guess! She also told you to participate in Kaiba's upcoming tournament."

The other Yugi smiled. "That's right. I guess that means we'll be competing together like last time. According to Ishizu, we should head to the town square this evening."

Akia grinned and gave the other Yugi a thumbs up. "That's pretty convenient, since it's right in front of the museum."

 "Oh! One more thing..." the pharaoh mentioned, "I must ask you not to speak of this to aibou. He doesn't know that I went to the museum today. I'd rather tell him myself when the time is right."

Akia blinked a few times. She didn't expect the other Yugi to want to keep what happened a secret from her brother. She actually thought that her brother knew about it already. She however agreed to the other Yugi's request, understanding that he had a valid reason for that. They both headed back to Anzu and Bakura. Bakura didn't look happy at all. Akia knew that the Spirit of the Ring was the one in control. She frowned back at him.

The group started walking together until they ended up in the town square. Akia was keeping her distance from Bakura. He acted as if he didn't care, but, deep down, he was furious. Furious that everyone was keeping secrets from him, which meant that they were relevant and important secrets, and furious that Akia was ignoring him.

The other Yugi then suddenly stopped and looked around, slightly frowning.

"What's wrong, Yugi?" Anzu asked him.

"...No, it's nothing." He had sensed a hostile aura, but he couldn't quite place it.

"Hey! Yugi! Akia-chan!" Everyone turned towards the familiar voice.

Akia's face lit up when she saw who it was. "Mai-san!"

Kujaku Mai was running towards them while smiling and waving happily. "Long time, no see! How are you guys doing?"

"Mai-san, you're doing as well as ever I see," Anzu said with a smile.

Akia was so happy to see Mai that she ran up to her and hugged her. "Mai-san! I missed you!"
