chapter one: guess who's back!
A/N:okay so this is my first fanfic and it's based on my favorite anime Yu-Gi-Oh!, I hope you enjoy the pharaohs
It was a cold day, even though it was was the middle of August. The sky was dark fogged, the wind blew sharply and it was in all, the worst type of day. Yugi Moto, a young boy with tall red black hair and golden locks, looked out his window to the unforgiving sky, an empty chain around his neck, he fingered it, missing the rather large golden pendant that hung from it, and the warmth of the soul that used to live within it.
It had almost been a month since he had it, and him. And life just wasn't as fun, or as fulfilling as when he had possessed it. As he stared, tears began to form in his huge lavender and childlike eyes. Yugi missed him, the Pharaoh, he missed his voice, silent whispering from within the puzzle, he missed having someone to be there for him always, someone who knew him even more than he knew hisself. It hurt him deeply, but he couldn't stay up all night grieving, and sulking. So he went to bed, and dreamt about the times they were able to share.
It was dark, and the spiky tri-color haired man with dark skin and amethyst eyes couldn't make out anything around him, it hadn't always been this way, for his spirit had traveled through the many layers of the ma'at to reach the edge of a barrier that he didn't know existed, he had spent some blurred stretched amount of time in the world of afterlife, it was a very pleasurable place, it was beautiful, but though his souls wished to rest, his heart tugged him toward it's desire, the young boy with with light, and the young woman with deep eyes of blue.
he floated in dead space for a moment letting his heart guide his BA through the nothing, like wind on a rutter-less boat. When suddenly, he heard a voice,
"Pharaoh"
The voice called out in a serene wave, like ripples in water. "who's there?"
Said the Pharaoh calmly in an almost transe like state.
"Pharaoh, it's me, the goddess of the afterlife,"
She said, in a voice like fingers going over the mouth of a wine glass.
"yes goddess, why have you spoken to me?"
"because your soul has drifted away from the after life, through the ma'at , and now floats at the edge of the boundaries."
The Pharaoh slowly opened his eyes to look into the eyes of a goddess in the form of a mass of light. "i, don't want to stay here, in the after,i do, one day, my soul wishes to rest, but, my heart is still filled with a desire to... Go back to them."
The goddess looked into his, sympathetically, he continued, "i want to go back one more time, to stay this time maybe. To be with them is my only desire, it's all I want. "
The goddess blinked, then backed away, as if thinking about what he wanted so badly.
"young man,... You have gone through so much as just a life force drifting through time, and as man living and breathing, and as a spirit guiding all who follow.
You have saved the earth three times, and have given all you had to those you care about most.
For this reason, and the others,i will Grant you life once more, you will live amongst all those of witch you love so dearly."
The Pharaoh sprang awake, "y-you can do that? Really?"
The goddess nodded.
"yes Pharaoh, you may go live once more, with a choice, when ever you wish to return to the after life, perhaps before your new body grow decrepit, you will say a sacred chant, (she whispered it into her ear ) this will bring you back here."
The Pharaoh nodded. A look of joy and determination on his face.
"i hope not to see you to soon once more, good bye atem and good luck."
And with that the goddess wrapped her energy around him surrounding him with light, she swirled like the wind, Atem's soul became an inferno ball of energy, tight and dense, then "SHHCHOOOOMMM!" His BA was thrown, as if being hurtled from the mouth of a blue eyes thousands of miles a seconds! Then faster then the speed of light, through dark matter and lost energy screaming through the void, then it came to a small place, like a continent, it zoomed in, into the city of domino to a town square,... To...it was it,... The game shop...
it was late, or very early. 2:55am. Yugi slept in his warm bed peacefully , he had a dreamless slumber, except for random memory flashes of atem. Everything was quiet, except for the ticking of a clock and water dripping from the sink in his master bathroom. when an indistinct came, instantly, but just milliseconds before, the he opened his eyes as the hair on his neck stood on end with static
Then, "FHOOOOOOHM!" like a rippling ball of fire, followed by a huge "CRAASHH!" Yugi sat strait up he turned around his window was shattered and little spots of flame burned on his carpet. 'i must be dreaming' he thought to himself, rubbing his eyes in Disbelief. When all of a sudden.
"DEAR RA! I'M NAKED !? "
Yugi blinked , did someone just say dear "RA?" Because he only knew one person who used that name, Yugi whipped his head towards the bathroom, he heard coughing like he was spatting blood .
He got out of his bed, and crept to the sounds, he knew who's they were but, he needed to know, he tried to avoid burning himself on hot spots, the floor boards creaked slightly with each step, .he came around and slowly peeked inside the bathroom. His eyes grew wide and he gasped.
"i-is that,...you?" He said timidly.
The man was leaning on the sink trying to support his own weight, his kuriboh bath towel was around his waist, he was cursing in a language he identified as Egyptian. Ancient Egyptian.
He then turned around his amethyst eyes looking very thankful that he had woken up.
"hello aibou!" He said in a formal baritone voice.
Yugi's eyes got even wider, "ATEM!, IT'S YOU! IT REALLY IS! " he ran in, and tackled the former king, they both fell to the ground. Yugi hugged atem fiercely .
Atem just chuckeled "ha ha ha ha! Hello my friend! You're glad to see me?" Yugi just nodded, but them a thought hit him, he let go,.
"wait, how are your here? How did you get here? ... you can't be real,i must be dreaming, your gone, you're dead. You left me. "
Yugi cried softly into his shirt sleeve, he felt a warm hand on his shoulder.
"well you're wrong, because i'm back, i'm back for good, and am in dire need of clothing "
Yugi looked at him and giggled at how akward he looked as he tried to keep the towel wrapped around hisself.
"alright atem, it's still late so you'll have to settle for pajamas", he tossed him pale blue set. as he rummaged, he noticed atem looking at him as if he were some type of painting or water after being the Sahara desert for a month.
Atem noticed Yugi becoming mire aware of his staring, he smiled and rubbed the back of his head with embarassment.
"did you miss me atem? While you were away?" Asked Yugi.
the Pharaoh snapped our of it,"i did,i really did. I wanted to come back so badly that they finally diss it for me, gosh,i can't wait to see everyone, tomorrow I want to see, Mai, and Joey ; those two lovers, and that idiot.
And Tristan and duke, watching them fight over dear little Serenity is hysterical.
And pegasus,i admit I actually missed that fruit cake.
And ooh! Mako tsunami ! That freaky fish guy.
And those two rats Rex and weevle so I can't beat in their skulls.
And, my dear tea, oh beautiful tea,i missed her so much, those blue eyes of hers.
And last but not least at all,... Seto Kiaba, in fact I missed him almost as much add I missed you and tea, the stupid jerk, always being a douche and being so...tall. I can't wait to step on his pride once more!"
Yugi laughed, "Pharaoh,i don't think we'll be able to see everyone, tomorrow, and i'm sorry but its really late i'm still not sure if i'm still sane yet, and i'm really tired,i don't care if you talk to me as I fall asleep, I wanna know about how you came back, and what the after was like."
The Pharaoh slept on a small recliner in the corner of the room and as Yugi closed his eyes, he told the young one about what he seen and what it felt like, and how being turned into a ball of
fire hurt like hell. He talked well into the night, until he to fell asleep under the foggy clouds..
