YAY! I suddenly feel like updating this again! This is strange since I don't know how the rest of story will be after this chapter since I only thought up to this point so far. If you have suggestions, you can tell me. I love getting ideas.
Thank you all for the reviews by the way, I really appreciated it!
Okay, I would still love it if someone was nice and gave me a translation from English to Egyptian and vise versa please. I got to say, be ready for a game-crazed Atemu and an arcade. Also we will be seeing a few other characters in this chapter.
ON WITH THE FIC!

Chapter Three
-/ You want to take me to a what? /-
-/ An arcade. You told me you liked all kinds of games, so I think you should try out games from the future. /-
Atemu blinked, just looking at Kaiba and not getting what Kaiba was aiming for here. He had only been with Kaiba for almost a month now and was still trying to get use to technology.
-/ I don't know Neb-ih… I have never tried anything like that before, are the games painful? /-
"Nie Atemu."
-/ Are there shadow creatures? /-
"Nie."
-/ Any… /- He was stopped when Kaiba placed a finger to his lips. He smiled at the red-eyes boy and removed his finger before he spoke.
-/ Trust me, there is nothing bad. You'll love it. /-
Atemu had not sat down since he got into Kaiba's limo. He was fascinated by the 'chariot with out horses' and he kept moving from one area to the other with a huge smile on his face as he looked at the buildings that seemed to be moving and all the strange people with skin the same color as Kaiba and Mokuba and some with skin darker then his own.
Speaking of the Kaiba brothers, they sat there just watching the energetic Pharaoh. Mokuba turned to his brother. "Hey Seto, who put the quarter in Atemu?" Kaiba chuckled slightly and looked down at his brother and away from Atemu. "He's never ridden in a limo before; he thinks it's the chariot of the Gods because it is moving without horses."
Atemu turned to Kaiba and moved over to him, stumbling slightly as the car turned a corner. "Neb-ih!" Atemu called before he fell, but he was caught by Kaiba. -/ Neb-ih, are we almost there? /- He asked, looking up with large red-eyes. Kaiba nodded and placed Atemu in the seat next to him.
-/ Sit. /-
-/ But… /-
-/ Do you want to fall? You are not supposed to move while the limo is in drive. You could get hurt. /- Atemu pouted and crossed his arms as he sat back against the seat, still looking out the windows until the limo stopped in front of a large building with flashing lights and noises coming from the wide entrance.
Atemu blinked as he looked at it, thinking it was one of the strangest sights ever. "Neb-ih?" He pointed to the building once they stepped out. Kaiba nodded, taking Atemu's hand and walked up toward the building.
And this is where things went nuts.
Atemu's whole looked seemed to change as he looked at all the games. His normal smile turned into a smirk that could rival that of Kaiba's, his eyes turned sharp and held a deep fire in them, and he cracked his knuckles before running off and getting lost into a crowd of kids and teens. Kaiba was dumbfounded for a second before he realized that he created a game monster.
Atemu looked around at all the games and stopped when he saw some kids standing by a machine that they placed their paper money inside of and gained coins in return. Once they left, Atemu walked over to the black box and placed his hand on it, concentrating his energy on it until he heard a few noises and many coins came out. He smirked and picked them all up, placing them into his pockets and walked on until he came across a few tables where people were hitting disks with strange paddles.
Atemu walked up to one table where there was a blond guy playing a black-haired man.
The boy blinked and looked at the blond. "Jono?" He questioned out loud as he moved a little closer. The blond hit the disk into a slot and he cheered. "Alright! I win again Otogi!" He smirked as the other one frowned and left. The blond had a smug look on. "No one can beat Jounouchi! The king of air hockey!"
Atemu looked at him and walked over to the other side of the table and picked up the paddle. Jounouchi turned and saw him. "Hey Yugi! You want to play with me?" Atemu blinked and looked up to see the boy and he nodded, not understanding what he said and most likely guess that the other challenged him. Atemu took out a coin and placed it into a little slot in the table and the air came out of the table.
"Ready?" Jou smirked. Atemu nodded and placed the disk on the table before smacking it, and with out a second glance, the disk went into Jou's goal. Jou looked down and then at Atemu who only smiled and kept a game face. It was on.
After a while, and not making any goals, Jou sighed as he lost for the eighth time in a row to the boy he kept calling Yugi. "Damn Yug, I didn't think you were THAT good." He looked up and saw Atemu walk off. "Hey!" He tried going after him.
Atemu walked on until he heard music pumping and saw a stage where people were dancing in front of a strange screen with many colors and arrows moving in different directions. He saw that the two people dancing were a girl with short brown hair and blue-eyes and a man with dread locks. The girl lost to the gloating man who turned to the audience.
"Who here has the guts to challenge Johnny Steps?" He laughed. Atemu blinked and got onto the stage, causing the other to raise an eyebrow. "So, you think you can beat me?" Atemu only blinked, not understanding him at all.
"Hey dork! Can't you understand what I'm saying?" Now Atemu could tell he was just insulted by this man's voice and smug look.
"Yah himar!" He barked back, making Johnny raise an eyebrow. "Fine if you think you are so tough, then you pick out a song." Atemu did just that, using his feet, he scrolled down the list of songs and came to a stop on a song called 'Dance, Dance' by Fall Out Boy. He learned of this song from Mokuba.
Johnny laughed slightly. "Fine, and I'll put the level on easy, just so it's easier for a dork like… huh?!" He stepped back when Atemu pushed him out of the way and stepped on his pad and scrolled up so that the dance level was on the hardest. "You want that one…?" He only got a shrug and Atemu stepped back over to his side.
After a short countdown, the music went off and the arrows went off in a flash of ever changing color. Atemu moved quickly getting perfects and goods as he moved his feet in time with the music, never once taking his eyes off the screen. Johnny took small glances and was freaking out because of how good this guy was. The song finished and the score came up, Atemu won while Johnny failed, making the older man walk off in shame.
But before he left, Atemu called him a 'himar' for kicks. Atemu kept a smug look on his face as he walked off, but came face to face with…
A smaller version of himself.
"Yuga…" Before Atemu could say anything else, the boy's purple eyes widened as he looked at the Pharaoh in surprise and delight.
"WOW! Jou was right, you do look like me!" The boy exclaimed. Atemu just looked at him, tilting his head to the side. "Huh?" Atemu blinked as the boy got right up into his face and pulled back. "Hmm… I don't see how he got us mixed up though; you have different features then me. My name's Yugi, what's your name?" He stuck out his hand for Atemu to shake.
Atemu took his hand. "Per aah Atemu." He bowed slightly. Yugi blinked and thought for a second. -/ Uhh… you're a Pharaoh? /- Atemu's eyes lit up as he nodded.
-/ You speak my language? Then that means I can talk to someone other then Seto! /-
Yugi looked at him. -/ Seto? As in Seto Kaiba? /- Atemu nodded and Yugi started to laugh. Atemu tilted his head as Yugi stopped laughing but still had a smile on his face. -/ I'm sorry, but I didn't think Kaiba would have a friend that looks like me, he hates my guts. /-
-/ Why? He's a really nice person, he likes me, that is why he took me here and he got me these clothes that you people wear in this time period. /- He pointed out his blank tank top and leather pants.
-/ Time period? What do you mean? /-
After a while, Atemu explained to Yugi who he was and how he ended up with Kaiba. Yugi wasn't sure about this whole thing, but he liked Atemu so he believed him. When Atemu asked how Yugi could speak his language, the boy explained that his Grandfather was a master of Egyptology and taught Yugi.
But when they finished talking they heard a voice.
"MOUTO!"
Yugi gulped and turned to see Kaiba looking down at him. "Kaiba, how do you do?"
"Don't 'how do you do' me Mouto, what are you doing with Atemu?" Kaiba crossed his arms, Yugi was right, Kaiba did hate Yugi.
-/ Neb-ih please Yugi is a really nice boy. He can speak to me and he was just telling me about how Kemet is now. We were not doing anything bad. /- Yami spoke softly with sad eyes as he held Kaiba's arm, making the CEO's eyes soften for a moment before they turned hard when someone came up to them.
"Hey Kaiba! Don't yell at Yugi like that!" Jounouchi, as Atemu remembered it from the table game, looked down at the red-eyed time traveler. "WHOA! You're that guy who didn't talk and who kicked my butt at air hockey! I'm sorry for thinking you were my friend Yugi. What's your name?" He asked, but Atemu just looked at him strangely.
But Kaiba stepped in to help Atemu. "Listen Mutt, his name is Atemu and he is a three thousand year old Pharaoh who came here with out any memory of how he did so, and he does not speak Japanese so don't even try to understand him you'll only hurt yourself." Jounouchi just looked at him and then to Atemu and then back at Kaiba. "I knew you had problems but this is too much Kaiba. How the hell is that kid a three thousand year old Pharaoh?"
"Because he is and I have proof."
Everyone turned and Atemu gasped at who spoke.
