Chapter 1: Where am I?
Yami's eyes snapped open. He was lying on the cold concrete floor, not knowing where he was. He sat up, looked around and wondered.
"Where am I?" He asked himself. While looking around, he spotted a couple, running, holding what looked like weapons. Yami got up and went to follow them. It was very dark, which made following them difficult. He continued in their direction until they stopped and had ducked behind a rather large dustbin. He quietly approached them until…
"Wait, I think someone's behind us," the male one whispered. Yami panicked and hid behind the building wall. The female turned to see who was there. With a sigh, she turned to face whatever they were facing. Yami peeked round. He didn't know whether or not to approach them or stay hidden. But he made his decision and slowly walked up to them.
"There she is," the female spoke. As they both got up, they saw Yami and froze. There was an awkward silence. No one spoke up.
"Um… hi," Yami said, breaking the tension. "Could you please tell me where the heck I am and how I got here?"
"Well, I guess you died, and now your in this world," the female answered. Yami blinked.
"Wait a sec, I died?"
"Yep, that's the only way you could of gotten here," the female answered again. There was another awkward silence as a small bird nearby tweeted with glee.
"But how?" Yami said.
"We don't know, and what the hell is wrong with your hair?" the male said. Yami tried to think. How did he die? Did he die, or is this a dream? He thought hard until he remembered what happened. He was in Egypt, trying to recover his memories, when he stood before a large stone and how there was a bright light before appearing here. Is this where he recovers his memories?
Then, a explosion knocked the three off their feet and a small, white haired girl emerged form the smoke.
"Crap, she's seen us!" The male said. He stood up and fired at her, but the bullets rebounded and the girl started walking to them.
"What the hell is going on?" Yami asked, watching the male continue to fire at the girl.
"We're fighting our enemy!" The female next to him said. "Her name is Angel, she's one of god's minions. She's trying to obliterate us so we won't be able to get to god!"
"Wait, get to god?" Yami was puzzled. What was going? Who are these people? So many questions circled around in his mind, making him feel dizzy in confusion.
"We need to get away from here," the female said and started running in the direction they came from, followed by Yami and the male. They ran until they reached the entrance of the building and hid inside, away from the other girl. Yami was still confused, but felt to tired to ask.
"Who are you anyway?" the female said, panting.
"I don't really know my actual name, but call me Yami," he answered. He straightened up and wiped the sweat of his forehead.
"Yami? Well I'm Yuri Nakaruma, but people sometimes call me Yurippe," She said in a proud tone.
"And I'm Otonashi Yusuru," the male said and walked up to Yami to shake his hand.
"We're both part of the Afterlife Battle Front., with me being the leader," Yuri said.
"Afterlife Battle Front?" Yami said, puzzled again.
"You ask too many questions," Yuri said. She folded her arms as if to seem serious. "So, do you know how you died?"
"Well I don't think I did," Yami said, thinking about what happened in Egypt.
"What do you mean?" Yuri tilted her head with a puzzled look.
"Well, I remember I was in Egypt, about to recover my memories from my past when there was this light and then the next thing I knew, I was here."
"Recover your memories?" Otonashi asked.
"My memories from Ancient Egypt, when I was a Pharoah." There was a third awkward silence. Then Yuri and Otonashi busted into giggles.
"What?" Yami said, alarmed at there state.
"Yeah right, a Pharoah," laughed Yuri, "shouldn't you be dead, or at least tanned or something!"
"Well, that's because I came back as a spirit inside the millennium puzzle, look," He pointed to where a upside down triangle pendent should be, but nothing was there.
"Hey wait where is it? And what the hell am I wearing!" He wasn't wearing the usual clothes, instead he wore a black jacket, similar to Yugi's blue school one and black trousers. He started to panic slightly and started looking around him.
"Um, are you OK?" Otonashi sounded a little worried, as he watched the supposed Pharoah spin round and touching himself. Both Yuri and Otonashi looked at each other.
"OK seriously, what the frigging hell is going!" Yami exclaimed.
Meanwhile, in Egypt…
"Pharaoh, where are you!" Yugi shouted at his puzzle, while the others looked around the room wondering what happened.
"What's wrong, Yug?" asked Jounochi.
"I can't feel his presents, he's gone," Yugi said, his voice trembled towards the end.
"Has he gone back to his time?" Anzu asked with a worried tone. She approached the small teenager and placed her hand on his trembling shoulder.
"I don't know, I feel like he's stuck somewhere," his voice trembled even more.
"Hey, don't get worked up 'bout it, I'm sure he's fine," Jounouchi reassured him, patting him the back.
"There's another problem, I'm still here," came the sound of Fergie's British like voice. "I've should of gone with the Pharaoh, yet I'm standing here." Everyone looked at each other as they exchanged puzzled expressions. Yugi still starting at his puzzle.
"This is most certainly not good," said Marik, crossing his arms and shaking his head. "I'm sure someone must be behind this."
"But who?" asked Ishizu, "who could of done this?"
Soon after, they all headed back to their transport and stopped at a hotal to stay until they figure out what to do next. Yugi said nothing for the rest of the day. He was still worried for Yami's safety, and not knowing where he was made him afraid if he was somewhere dangerous. This made Sophie very anxious, as she too cared for the Pharaoh, but she was more bothered about Yugi's emotional state than anything else. Yugi and the Pharaoh were like brothers. They were always with each other, that is until now.
It was getting late so the gang decided to call it a day. Sophie stayed up late, talking to Fergie. She felt really scared about what's going on.
"There's nothing to be afraid of, your just thinking about it to much," Said Fergie.
"What about you, aren't you worried, since you do have feelings for him," Sophie retorted. Fergie blushed a little and stared out of the window, thinking. Where was he? Is he hurt? Is he trapped somewhere? She kept repeating these questions in her mind over and over. Until she got tired of it and went into her room inside the millennium bracelet.
