Serena was leaning against the wall, telling Joey she was fine and to see to Yugi. Yugi looked up at Yami and smiled. "I'm alright, Yami. Just worn out. Are you okay? You've been asleep for a while" tea brought Yugi and steaming mug and handed one to Yami. "Serena said you would need some too..." Yugi pulled the pendent free and said "right. She needs this back...Serena?" They all looked around and saw she was gone. 

Serena slid the kitchen door closed to outside, breathing hard. She didn't want the others to see her in this much pain, they needed to focus on Yugi right now. She stumbled her way to the tree and grabbed it, her breathing labored and sweat poured down her face. "Just...bare it...you've been strong so far just..." Suddenly a different pain hit her hard, making her fall to her knees. 

She looked around and saw a young Yami in a courtyard, playing with a other boy and girl. Then two riders rode up on black horses, both wearing hoods. The other boy pulled Yami behind him then said "the Kings Shadow...if his here it means big trouble incoming..." 

Serena fell against the tree, her eyes clouded over. She couldn't take much more of this. She needed help badly. She heard steps behind her and she felt the world spin and she fell back, someone's arms catching her before she fell into black.
