She nodded, though she had no idea what could have happened to cause this boy's loss, but it was dangerous, for both him and the spirit. Unfortunately, she didn't quite know which spirit had been tied to each item, making it harder for the canine. Staring in Yugi's eyes, she paused. The shadow needed help, but this wasn't quite the thing that some random person off the street could help with, but Max wasn't right anymore... Damn it... This girl was on her own...
Listen, hun... You have to tell me, everything you know about this... Or anything at all...
For now she'd gather the info, and attempt to piece it together. From there, then well... I guess that would mean they'd just have to wing it... The canine shook her head, yeah wing... Shifting slightly, the shadow let her dark gaze fall to the puzzle, studying it, trying to think of someway to...

Yugi blinked and was about to respond before a wave of pain hit him hard making him clutch his head and cry out in pain as flashes and images passed through his mind, as suddenly as it began it stopped. He panted lowly before his eyes closed and one word escaped his thoughts.
/Pharaoh....?/ he didn't know why that came to him, but it seemed so familier.

An expression of concerned curiosity reached the canine, as she saw the boy's pain. She reached up and nuzzled Yugi, having no other way to comfort him. max too, had stepped forward, after he had cried out. Mow she was completely confused, and there was nothing she could do... Shaking her head, the girl placed a firm hand on his shoulder, and stood with a silent loss of words. Grunting slightly, the shadow pushed closer, an urgency about her. She would address the boy's pain in a moment...
Pharaoh?! You mean... Atem... Pausing, the canine dropped her head, as she thought for a moment. How did he come up with 'pharaoh'? Unless... Turning her attention back up to Yugi, the creature sighed. Your puzzle there... it held the spirit of... the Egyptian pharaoh Atem...
No way... Well, this was helping, actually that simple word the boy had said, was bringing more and more back to her... Good, no, this was great... Sitting down slowly, the canine lifted a large paw and placed it on the boy. Waiting for a moment, she stared at the puzzle, there had to be a way to... help. In the least...
"Er..."
Max fidgeted a bit, this was really creepy, no one had said anything, and her companion had already made herself a good friend... Perhaps, the shadow was this boy's pet?

Yugi blinked as the shadow explained to him the meaning of the word, Atem? It was kinda familier and he was lost in thought and soon another thing came to him.
/Atem? ........Yami?/ as soon as he said it the memory was wiped away from his mind and his eyes grew sad.

Yes... the darkness which was once within your item... That is his title...
She paused. The canine so badly wished she remembered how to do this... What had Max done with the 'wings'? If only she had them, then all of this could be so much easier. Though that was out of the question, seeing as the last time Max even came in contact with the damned thing... Well, details were unnecessary at this point. The blood red, pelted canine, drew herself closer to Yugi.
Take it easy, kiddo... Don't try so hard, if you get hurt, then we'd all be in trouble. Just gimme a minute, I'm gonna help now...
The shadow spoke with a low tone, she was now much more confident. Now, there were a few choices; keep probing Yugi, which could bring him more pain; or search for the Pharaoh's spirit, which wouldn't be too easy, since this canine was no where near a blood-hound; and the last choice, find Max's millennium Item, which was dangerous not only for her master, but if she used it on the boy, she and Yugi would be in harms way... Great, just when things were looking up...

(Certainly! Here yugi and Malik are friends x3)
Yugi felt such pain, emotional pain, at not being able to remember this "Yami" persons face, he felt such sorrow when he could not grasp the man's face in his mind, he bit back tears. He would not cry, not here and not now. He had successfully forced them down and sighed
/Why would you all be in trouble if i got hurt?/ he asked slowly.

The canine paused, and sighed, before drawing her gaze back to Yugi's. Good question, but as most of her answers, this one wouldn't be straight on...
Well, it all really depends on what happens, but don't concern yourself of us, I've got things under control...
It was a bit of a stretch, but not a lie, things were as taken care of right now as the shadow could handle. Though his darkness was in trouble, and could also be dangerous to them if they interfered too much... Luckily this had been figured out, because the canine always tried to think ahead, but what else did you expect? That was her job, and been for as long as her memory could serve. Pausing, dark eyes moved slowly around them, wondering, and allowing so many possibilities and plans to move through her mind. It had been a while since she'd had to come up with strategies like this, and have her mind so jumbled up... The canine's gaze snapped back to the boy.
Do you mind doing me a favor? Could ya just let her know, she'll understand all of this soon, her name, and all...
'The shadow' asked, trying to hide her concern. After how much her master had been through, she'd be so lost, and that would just make things worse for later. And of course, the canine had nearly came to her decision, her plan...

Yugi looked to max with a slow blink before a small smile crept onto his face "I can...understand her." he spoke softly as he turned his gaze back to the dark eyes of the shadow, he didn't understand all this but he figured he would in time.

Max's eyes lit up and she stepped forward.
"For real? Can she tell me what happened?"
She asked, her voice high, and giddy like a child, but you couldn't blame her this was like a miracle! The shadow shook her head.
She must wait, until things are clearer... She has to be strong until then... As must you...
She spoke carefully, her eyes never once moving to Max. This was a plan, she really didn't want her master to be distracted during this, and though she'd be a little off, by not knowing yet, Max would really lose it if she knew it all...

Yugi looked to the shadow and nodded before looking to max with sad eyes "She said you'll have to wait...until things are clearer." he repeated as he looked upward, he knew this was just the beginging of a long and weird day.

Max nodded, hiding her disappointment, and allowing the fact that her dog had spoken to this boy...
Thank you... She paused and followed Yugi's gaze. The plan finally set in her mind, and she drew closer to the boy, licking his hand. You want to know, correct? Everything, not only what you have forgotten, but what I know as well?
She spoke carefully. The shadow had no though of doing anything if the young one was not up to it. With hope, they'd all benefit from finding the item, but on the off chance this didn't go down as well as 'the observer' had wanted, then...
[yes, I did in fact throw in another title for her, sorta a hint...]

Yugi's sorrowful violet eyes lit up at the mention of being told what he had forgotten and what the shadow knew, smiling softly he blinked slowly before nodding to her. Knowing would be nice....the one thing he wanted to remember was yami's face....oh how dearly he wanted to remember that.
/Yes../he replied softly

You must lend me all of your trust, for I must do the same. Max is a part of this as well...
The canine nodded and stood, tugging at Yugi's sleeve. Time for us to dig up an old.... friend... She thought to herself, still hoping everything would work out...
Pulling the boy for a moment, she released him, and started a steady path forward. Max paused, looking between the two, but remained silent and followed quickly after the shadow. She had no idea what was going on, and she wasn't even sure is she was to be part of it, but much like the shadow said, trust was most important...

Yugi blinked and stood as she tugged on his sleeve, without any heesitation he began to follow the shadow, he didn't know why he trusted the canine so easily but maybe that was just part of his nature.
