"Those carvings resemble duel monster cards!" he said as they walked closer to the tablet so that they can examine it.

"See that Sorcerer looks like big brother, The Pharaoh looks like you, and the Queen looks like. . ." started Lilly as she began to blush in embarrassment.

"Like you," finished Yami. He smiled. "Just when I think I've found one answer, a thousand new questions arise."

"My Pharaoh, I've been expecting you," said a female voice from behind the two. They turned around to see Ishizu.

"Who are you?" asked Yami.

"I am Ishizu, and I have uncovered many mysteries about you and these ancient carvings using the magic of my Millennium Necklace," she said.

"Another Millennium item."

"Like your Millennium Puzzle, and Lilly's Millennium Bracelet, this necklace affords me certain powers. With it, I have gazed 5,000 years into the past, to a time when evil sorcerers threatened to destroy the entire world. However, there was a King and Queen who possessed magic powerful enough to stop this evil threat."

"Who was this King and Queen?" asked Yami, intrigued and in shock.

"And what do you mean my bracelet? I got it in the mail the other day!"

"The Pharaoh and his Queen that saved the world were you, Yami, and Lilly, or, to be more accurate, her past self. And now the time has come for you both to rescue mankind once again. And your bracelet has the power to do many things, in which you must figure out on your own. One thing I will tell you, though, is that it helps you harness the power to protect those that you hold dear to your heart."

"Rescue mankind? From what? How do you know that mankind needs rescuing?" asked Lilly as she tried to process everything.

"My Millennium Necklace also shows me visions of the future," she said. "Oh, my Pharaoh. The events of the past will occur once again, and that same great evil will return to threaten us."

"How will we recognize this evil?" he asked.

"I know that your memory has faded, my Pharaoh, and that you seek many answers. I also know a duel monsters tournament is beginning. If you win it, you will find your answers," said Ishizu as she turned and started to walk away.

'She means Seto's tournament?' Lilly thought.

"When you return home, you'll discover an invitation waiting for you," Ishizu said to Yami. "Farewell, King Yami."

And with that, both decided to end the day and go home.

"Well, I got to go meet up with big brother. Sorry for leaving you so soon," said Lilly as they walked up the stairs. An apologetic smile on her face.

"No problem. I just hope you're in the tournament too, whatever it is," said Yami with a small smile of his own.

"Oh, trust me, I'm in it all right!" she said as she gave him a wink. They opened the door and saw Tea waiting there for them. She looked so mad.

"Well I got to go! Bye, my Pharaoh!" said Lilly as she gave him a quick peck on the cheek and ran for the door so that she could meet up with her brother on time. He blushed.

"Bye, Lilly," he said. What nobody knew was that Tea had seen this and was furious.

'How dare she!' she thought as she went to Yami to talk to him. Much to his annoyance.

~Some Time Later~

When Lilly finally reached the Kaiba Corporation building, she ran inside. As she went up to the front desk, the security man looked at her.
