Kaiba: let's just get on with the story, shall we?
He's back
Chapter 1
Atem sighed and looked out the second floor window, wondering how Yugi was doing. It had been over a year since their duel, and now all the Egyptian wanted was to see his hikari again. But, for now, he was with one of Tea's friends in her home, waiting until the time was right to reveal him again.
"Come on, Pharaoh, I was trying to cheer you up!" the girl said with a huff. She fingered the small braid in her hair that came over her shoulder and was resting on her right breast. The rest of her dark brown hair was pulled back into a high ponytail. Her piercing green eyes glared at Atem, making him wince slightly.
"Sorry, Nala, I'm just not in the mood for card games right now," Atem said, looking back out the window. "I have a feeling that the time is upon us…"
"Well, it's about time if you ask me," Nala said, turning back to her computer. "You're here nearly all year while I'm at Duel Academy and now a week after school lets out for the summer, it's time to go? Man, do you have good timing!"
"That's not funny," Atem snapped, making the girl stop her laughter in its tracks.
"It's even better timing cause I heard a rumor going around about Yugi…" Nala said in a sing-songy voice, making Atem's ears prick up.
"Rumor?" Atem asked, his curiosity piqued. He and Nala never really got along, but if she had information about how Yugi was doing, he wanted to hear it.
"I heard that he's engaged…" Nala said flippantly, clicking on a video that a friend sent her from DA's summer programs. "And before you ask…" Atem closed her mouth and waited. "I heard that he's engaged to Seto Kaiba…"
"Kaiba?" Atem cried, jolting up. "Why Kaiba? What happened after I left?"
"No clue, Atem," Nala said with a sigh. "But I guess they put their rivalry behind them and hooked up. That's the tabloid's guess anyway…"
"That's crazy…" Atem said, looking back out the window. He sighed and lifted the window pane up and slipped out of the room and onto the roof.
"Yeah, I know it—HEY! Atem, we're not supposed to be out on the roof!" Nala cried, running over to the open window.
"I know… I just need the fresh air…" Atem said, watching as the run dipped below the horizon.
"If you need air, then let's walk into town, eh?" Nala asked, logging off the computer and pushing her chair back. "Let me grab my blazer and we'll go, alright?"
"Sounds good," Atem said, slipping back inside the house.
