I won't ask for nothing more

Sand blew with the wind in the hot desert sunset. The sun shone over a base. Many people walked around, some of them caring something, some of them reading or writing something down. The tall mountain gave shadow to exhausted workers. Professor Yami Motou just came out of a new tomb he and his team found. He had a good right to believe this could be one of his greatest discoveries and yet he was concerned over something. Over the past 6 years he passed threw many tombs, found many things thought to be lost, and became one of the worlds best Egyptologists know to the world. When he separated from Yugi he found it hard to deal that the woman he loved went with another one so he just left without a word. He was known as a cynic and he rarely smiled. He sat in his tent and took a look at his books. Most of them he knew like he knew the back of his hand and now he was truly confused. Some strange feeling told him to lock the tomb together with its secrets. He never got the chance to see that kind of hieroglyphs he found in the tomb. They talked about some prophecy and the end of the world.
-Like usual... -He thought. -Name one prophecy that doesn't speak about the destruction of the world.
-Actually, I know quite a few. - Came a voice behind him and he turned facing his guest.
-Jean Gray. It is really a surprise to see you here. I thought you hated deserts. - The two of them shared a friendly hug and sat on the improvised bed Yami made for himself.
-So what brings you so fare away from Scotland? – He asked her.
-Don't think it's because of you. I am happily married and I have a right to believe I will be a mother soon. – Yami smiled one of his rare smiles he saved only for his close friend.
-Those are great news! I'm really happy for you. But why are you here? I'm sure it's not just because you wanted a change of the scenery. Something must be really wrong if you came here just to see me. – Jean nodded her head and stood up taking the suitcase she brought with her. She took out photos and profiles. Yami took a look over her shoulder and his eyes went wide. She turned to him and gave him the pictures.
-These were taken not too long ago. Those disasters happened one after another. I'm sure you heard for some things that happened near Egypt but what I heard you were cut off from the world for almost 2 months. - Yami took a look at every photo. Horrors passed before his eyes. His eyebrows narrowed and he bit at his bottom lip. When he finished he placed the photos on the desk and looked at Jean.
-Why are you here?
-Yami please don't tell me you can't pull 2 and 2 together! You send me a message you had a great discovery. You, and I pinpoint that; YOU can't properly read what is written on the walls. Everything starts to happen right after you opened that God damned tomb! You can't tell me, after all those, insane, stories you said to me, that you don't get it! - She said showing at the pictures. Yami stood aside listening to her. She was right. He had a hunch something was wrong and he knew he couldn't just deny the facts. Everything was happening because he opened the tomb. Something was hidden inside and now it roamed free.
-You're right. - He said. Jean let out the breath she was holding and sat on the bed.
-What will you do about it? - He shook his head walking to the entrance and taking a look at the setting sun.
-I don't know. I can't do it alone and I can't just go to the authorities and tell them my story. They wouldn't believe me.
-Is there anything you could do? – He sighed and nodded his head.
-There is one thing...

Yugi Motou just finished his daily shift at the Kame Game shop and was getting ready to meet with his friends. They would meet every Saturday for a night of fun and games. This was their way of keeping their friendship going for past 10 years. They all stayed good friends and when Tea left her first husband after suffering abuse from him she joined them with her daughter Annie. After constant beating for almost 5 years she got the courage and left that bastard no one will name. He was behind bars and she lived happily in a small apartment in town. Yugi took the newspapers. They wrote about terrible things happening all around the world. For the past 2 months there have been different natural disasters all over the globe. Thank God nothing terrible happened in Domino. The river grew really to its maximum but they are keeping it on a short leash and everything's all right. The bell rang and Duke, Joey and Tristen walked in.
-Hey Yug! What's up! - Joey ran to Yugi and soon had him in a head lock. Yugi winced but smiled.
-Hey back at ya! Where's Tea? I thought you would pick her up on your way?
-We're here! - Tea came in holding her 5 years old daughter on her hands.
-Uncle Yugi! - Annie jumped of Tea's hands and ran to Yugi smiling. He took her on his hands. The little girl started to play with his hair as everyone went to the living room. Soon they were all drinking hot chocolate and laughing to each other. Suddenly the phone rang.
-Who could it be in this time of night? – Asked Joey. Yugi shrugged his shoulders and went to answer the phone.
-Yugi Motou here? – In the next moment Yugi's face held and expression of pure surprise and shock.
-What's wrong? – Tea asked. The conversation continued:
-I am familiar with the disasters, yes... Egypt... I know but... I understand... You can count on us... Just... Yami... Why did you leave? All right... We will be on the airport tomorrow at 7, 45... – Joey and the others stood up.
-Was that who I think it was? – Asked Joey.
-That was Yami. He didn't explain anything just said that he might know what cased all the disasters and he said he needs our help. He'll send us a jet tomorrow and we have to be at the airport 15 min. till 8. He will meet us there. – He finished. Tea was shocked.
-After ten years of nothingness Yami just calls and asks for help. It must be something really big when he asked us to come...-She thought. Annie sat in her lap.
-What's wrong mommy? You look sad?
-Nothing's wrong, love. We have to get home and get ready. Tomorrow we'll go on a journey and we have to be prepared. - They all left and tomorrow morning they were all on the airport. They didn't take too many things because they didn't know how long they would be staying or what awaits them there. They were there at 15 till 8 and there was no sigh of Yami anywhere near. 5 minutes till 8 they heard footsteps in the almost empty waiting room and when they turned they saw a familiar hairstyle. He wore a long black coat on a white shirt and black trousers and glasses. He was taller and stronger, the ages in the desert taking their credit. His ten was darker and he looked as if he had something heavy pressing his back. Behind him walked a woman with long red hair and glasses. In her hands she had some files and she wore something like a lab coat. She smiled when she saw them and everyone stood up. Yami stopped and nodded hello to them.
-Yugi, guys I want you to meet Jean Gray, my associate. Jean these are the ones I talked to you about. Yugi Motou my former host, then this is Tea Gardner, Joey Wheeler, Tristen Taylor and Duke Devlin. – He stopped for a second. - And who is this? – He asked softly when he saw Annie hiding behind Tea. Tea took her up and smiled to Yami.
-Annie is my daughter. Annie say hello to uncle Yami. You haven't met him yet but I told you stories about how mommy had great adventures with him and your other uncles. – The little girl smiled. Yami looked at the girl. She was the same as Tea. She had her hair, her eyes her everything. He could bet Tea looked just like Annie when she was little. He started to wonder why isn't Tea's husband here with her but that didn't bother him that much. That meant less pain for him. At leased he won't have to watch the other man kiss the love of his life. He nodded his head.
-Let's go. We have a long trip before us and we have a lot to discus.
-Starting with why you left. – Said Joey. He was still angry with him for leaving and not even calling for over ten years. Yami sighed heavily and Jean placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. The two of them exchanged looks and the gang looked at them suspiciously.
-Come, we have to go. – Yami said. He started walking and everyone else followed. They made their way out and the scene was wonderful. A great white jet was there and the pilot waited for them.
-Good day Mr. Motou. These are the travelers?
-Yes. Do you know how long it will be until we reach Cairo? – He asked.
-At least 13 hours. We don't want to end in one of the storms. – Yami nodded. Someone took their bags and they went in. The jet was beautiful on the outside but on the inside indeed it was even more beautiful. It had a dining room, a bathroom, a bedroom with at least 7 beds, and a room for meetings. It was beautiful.
-You have half an hour to settle. You will meet me in the meeting room. There we will talk. - Yami said and left to the cockpit. They were left in the living room. Jean sighed and smiled to them.
-Do you want something to eat? Yami and I haven't had breakfast and I really don't want to miss the food on the jet. It's marvelous. – Everyone agreed to have breakfast. Jean nodded her head but before she was gone she stopped and turned. Her face was serious and it seamed as if it was hard for her to say what she meant to say.
-I just wanted to ask you to go easy on Yami. He passed threw many things and I assure you he's not the man you knew. He suffered because he left you all, but over the years it became hard for him to even call you and tell you he was all right. He was concerned about you and he still sees you as his closest friends. So please don't ask too much questions.
-It seams you know him well? - Tea asked. She still felt something for Yami and something in her moved when she saw the closeness the two shared. Jean smiled melancholically.
-Yes... I know him all to well. – She said and left.
-She meant what with that? – Asked Joey.
-Maybe that they are very close, you dork! – Yelled Tristen. – Use your head!
-Or better not. He might hurt himself while thinking. – Said Duke.
-After all those years you are still the same children. – They heard Yami's voice coming from the doors.
-And you have many things to explain, Yami, so stop the chitchat and let's get to work. – Said Joey. Yami nodded his head and looked at Tea.
-It would be a good idea if you would put Annie to bed. We have much to talk about and she seams very tired. – He said when he looked at Annie. He had a small smile on his lips. They haven't seen him smile from the moment they met him again on the airport. Tea nodded her head and left to put Annie to bed.
-Let's sit in the meeting room. Jean will bring breakfast to everyone there. – Said Yami and led them to a closed room. He left the doors opened and maybe a second later Jean came in with their food. Everyone took what he or she wanted but Yami just stared out the window where the clouds danced their dance.
-Yami, why don't you eat something, dear? – Jean asked. He looked at her and threw her a small smile.
-I'm not really hungry, Jean. Don't worry. – He said. Everyone finished very fast and when Yami wanted to help Jean bring everything out she stopped him.
-We will take it out later. You have to talk with your friends and make some things clear. I'll be right here if you miss something. – She said and took her place beside him. He took a deep breath and nodded his head to himself.
-Where should I start...

Dear reader,
I hope you liked the first chapter of this story. This is my second story alongside with another one called "Sapphires and Emeralds" it's a Sailor moon x Harry Potter x-over. I'm planning to do one fan fiction based on series of books I red. It's called the "Broken sky" by Chris Wooding and I really liked the books so I sincerely recommend you to read them. There are 9 parts of the story and I will continue where it was finished. I hope you'll like where this story will go and I'm begging you to review. I will be posting one chapter on the beginning of each month. If I don't that means I am busy with school or that something's wrong with my computer. I really hope nothing bad will happen because I have some stories I write for another page called Quizilla. You can go there and look for me. I go by the penname cinderella15. Thank you for reading this chapter.
Yours truly,
Izida
