Chapter one
--
Kaiba Seto sat in his home office at his laptop, wasting what ever was left in his life to his work. He was in charge of the largest corporation in the whole world; Kaiba Corporation.
A very loud storm was going on outside as Kaiba's screen kept dimming and brightening over and over. He growled as he saved what he was working on and turned off his laptop so it would not get damaged. He left the room and entered his bed chambers.
He grabbed a pair of sweat pants and a black shirt and walked to his bathroom, turning on his CD player and it started to play Desert Rose by Sting. He loved the song for it reminded him of Egypt. He went there once as a child but was never allowed to go back again because his step-father didn't like his interest in wanting to study the ancient Egyptian culture.
No, he wanted him to be a CEO like himself.
Kaiba finished his shower and put on his lotion and continued with his night time bathroom activities, such as doing his hair and brushing his teeth. When he walked out, it was around one in the morning.
This was normal for him to sleep late. He walked over to his curtains and opened them, only to be blinded and have his ears ringing by a bright red light that sent out a loud shock wave that sounded like a high-pitch scream mixed with a police siren.
What ever it was, it landed softly in the muddy ground out in the front yard.
Kaiba tried to make out what it was, but the rain and the moisture on the windows blurred it for him. He slipped on some shoes and ran down the stairs until he stopped in front of the large double doors. He pushed them open and ran out into the rain.
He approached the thing that landed in this yard and gasped at what lay before him.
It was a boy.
He had tan skin, covered in wounds and blood, his hair was black tipped in red with blond bangs that reached out into the black. He was very thin and he was… naked. His breathing was slow, but he was alive. What was strange was that he was covered in gold jewelry, but no clothing and he had a strange pyramid shaped necklace made of gold.
Kaiba bent down and lightly touched his cheek. Then he saw them. The boy's eyes opened up to reveal a crimson-red. Kaiba stared into them as the boy smiled and opened his mouth.
"Neb-ih…" He spoke softly before passing out again.

The sun's light came in through the window, sparkling off of the last bits of rain left on the windows. There was movement in the large bed as a figure sat up.
The boy from the night before rubbed his left eye in a cute fashion as he yawned. He then noticed where he was, this caused him to panic. He was not in his own bedroom. The boy turned his head when he heard some shifting noise come from his left.
He looked down and saw a young man, a year or two older than himself, sleeping on the bed. He was a paler color in skin when compared to his caramel and he had brown hair. He was the boy from last night, the one that he saw before he passed out. He looked down and saw that he was covered in wrappings over his injuries.
He lightly brushed his fingers against the other's cheek. He smiled when the other man turned over to face him and he opened his eyes. Blue-eyes meet red-eyes.
"Ohayou gozamaisu." Kaiba said as he sat up. He noticed that the boy gave him a strange look, as if he did not know what he had said.
"Excuse me, but can you not understand me?" Kaiba shifted his hands, trying to see if the boy could understand a little. He nodded and spoke in a strange language. "Tayu."
The boy then reached out and took Kaiba's hand and had it rest on his chest. "Atemu." He spoke softly. Kaiba's brain racked for a second until he understood. He pulled the boy's hand and placed it on his chest. "Seto."
The boy's faces lightened up with joy. It was like a game to him, a name game. Atemu, the boy, jumped as he repeated 'Seto' over and over again. The man understood what he was trying to tell him. Atemu took his hand back and pointed to the strange tiara on his forehead with a gold eye and strange looking things that resembled wings.
"Per ahh Atemu." He bowed before Kaiba, he looked up and smiled. "Shukran Ned-ih." Atemu looked up, waiting for a response, but never got one because Kaiba was looking at him weird.
"I don't speak your language." Kaiba spoke. Atemu frowned. He thought that he understood him, but this strange person could not. Where was he anyway? This was not his country of Kemet in which he ruled. He turned to Kaiba. -/ Do you know where Kemet is/-
"Kemet?" Kaiba asked and Atemu nodded. Did he get where he was going at?
Kaiba knew that Kemet was the ancient name for the country of Egypt. He learned that it meant 'The land of black soil' because of the soil of the river Nile. This boy was from ancient Egypt! Kaiba thought hard, he learned some words from his many books and thought of something.
-/ Are you from Kemet/-
"Tayu."
-/ I'm sorry, but you are far from there. This is Japan. /-
Atemu blinked. He had never heard of Japan, he had heard of a place called China, they would trade with his country, but never of this Japan.
"Em hotep?" Kaiba asked as he waved his hand in front of Atemu's red eyes.
-/ Sorry. I must return to Kemet. My people need their per ahh. /- Kaiba shook his head.
-/ Kemet is no longer the name of your country, it is now called Egypt and it is no longer ruled by Pharaohs. /-
Atemu looked like he wanted to cry. He was not from here; he was not even in the right time. Was he in another time?
-/ Look, I'm sorry if you are upset Atemu, but some how you ended up in the year 2007. /-
-/ But, that does not make any sense. What happened to the kingdoms? We are… were the most powerful people in the known world/-
-/ Times have changed. Your kingdom is over six thousand years old, but people have changed their customs and the last Pharaohs were not Egyptians, they were Greeks after Alexander the Great invaded in the one hundreds or so. Now the country is a huge tourist attraction and is ruled by Arabs. /-
Atemu tilted his head, trying to understand this new information. "Greeks? Alexander? Tourist? Arabs?" -/ What are all these/- As Atemu asked this, his stomach growled. He was hungry and Kaiba heard him.
Kaiba stood up and pointed to Atemu. "Im-shi." Atemu, a once great Pharaoh, never obeyed others, but since he was no longer a king he had to obey his Neb-ih. He followed him out of the room; taking note that he was walking on some strange, soft, green floor and that he was only wearing a strange looking piece of cloth that was red and looked much like Seto's only longer because he was shorter and his accessories had been removed except for his crown and puzzle.
He blinked as he looked around. The walls were not stone, and there were pictures in strange wooden frames on them. The floor was now a dark red fuzz with a much longer tan one with strange patters on top of it.
They turned to the left and went down a long staircase where Atemu gasped at the large chandelier in the center on the ceiling. Kaiba rolled his eyes; he forgot Atemu was not use to this.
They entered the kitchen and sitting at the counter was Kaiba's little brother with long black hair. "Ohayou gozamaisu Mokuba." Kaiba spoke as he walked over to the fridge. Mokuba turned to say good morning as well but almost fell out of his chair in fright by a pair of huge, curious, red-eyes.
"Im hotep."
"AHHHHH!!!!"
"AHHH!" Atemu screamed back, thinking that this was some form of communication for saying hello. Mokuba looked at the Egyptian, wondering who he was and what he was doing here. Atemu tilted his head and looked at the other and then at Seto. "Neb-ih hmt?" He asked pointing to Mokuba.
"Nie, Atemu."
Mokuba looked at his brother and then at the other who might be named Atemu. "What is going on here?! And who is this weirdo?!" Atemu blinked at Mokuba and went straight into to his face, glaring at him.
-/ Do not raise your voice in the presence of Per ahh/- Atemu hissed at the boy. Mokuba just blinked, trying his best not to look into Atemu's blood-red eyes. Kaiba grabbed Atemu's shirt and started to talk to him extremely fast in the strange language that Atemu had used. Atemu yelled back and slammed his fist into the wall causing a strange black mark and dent from where it was.
Kaiba stepped back and Atemu pointed at him with strange black magic on his fingers. He started to speak in a low voice as his eyes became blank and his voice was monotone. His skin became a darker tan and strange red lines appeared on his arms and legs.
Kaiba felt like a bunch of needles had gone into his skin and he screamed. Atemu snapped out of his trance and fell to the floor, but Kaiba was quick and caught him. The pain was gone, as if in a flash. The markings, magic and darker skin disappeared.
What did Atemu do?
