Yugi's POV
Yugi however didn't know that the Pharaoh was hiding something…
The next day went pretty slowly, there wasn't much to do except run errands. Yugi found himself looking forward to a school day. On Monday Yugi walked in to his first class for the day, computer studies and sat down at the computer alongside Joey's. He logged in as the teacher told them what they had to do,
"You must use the USB holosticks to generate a hologram of a duel monster; I will come around near the end of the lesson to check that the monster is identifiable."
He heard someone mutter from the other side of the room,
"As if he doesn't set hard enough assignments."
This was followed by hushed giggles which were drowned out by the quick typing of the few computer wizards in the class, so he started his attempt at making a Kuribo hologram. He wasn't sure about what Joey was doing but from the colour it looked like a red eyes, he started up the holostick and just saw a blob of brown and green. It was getting close to the end of the lesson and it had only improved a little; he felt a pang of nerves when he heard someone behind him,
"If you want a clear holo, you need to tweak the focus a bit."
A slender hand reached over the mouse and turned one of the dials on the screen and the Kuribo hologram became clearer, it was able to be identified by anyone now. He looked over at the person who was now helping Joey, who seemed to have the same problem as he did and there was Ariana,
"Just next time remember the focus."
She went back to her own computer; she had made a Red-brown dragon that looked a lot like Tomaius. The teacher came around and everyone got fairly good marks, the bell went and they all filed out the door and that funnily enough was the only trace he saw of Ariana until lunch. He was looking through the library for any info on the Advisor Amaya when he walked into someone carrying a large stack of books, sending the books toppling along with a fairly large and heavy one hitting him squarely on the head. When he got his senses back he realised he was lying on the ground and Ariana was leaning over him,
"I am so sorry! I couldn't see you coming around the corner, are you okay?"
He groaned as he gripped his head, "I think so, were you the one carrying those books?"
"Yeah, I'm really sorry! Do you need a hand?"
"Actually I do, I'm looking for a specific book that's on the advisors of the Pharaoh Atemu."
"Ah… I think I might be able to help you there but why do you need that sort of information?"
"Err…" Yugi looked for an answer, "Just out of interest."
"Oh, okay. This way then," she waved him in the direction of the books he sought.
"The most accurate, I think is the book by an Egyptian seer, who apparently painted the most accurate paintings of all the advisors. Ah! Here it is. That what you were looking for?"
"Yes, thanks."
"Good, now I'd better get moving. I'm so sorry!"
She ran down the isle of books and disappeared, she was very apologetic for accidentally hurting him. He liked her, he had to admit that but as such only as a friend. Now he had to focus on the book he now held in his hands, he walked to the desk to check out the book and walked slowly to get his stuff to leave as he looked through the book. It was old and dusty, some pages had rips and the pages looked like they were all coffee stained. He found the page he was looking for, the first picture of the section on Amaya was that of a 45 degree angle painting of a beautiful young woman with gentle lavender eyes, sleek brown hair, a light tan and the Millennium Armband. He took out a scrap piece of paper and used it to mark the page, he stuffed the book in to his bag and went and found Joey, Tristan and Tea and caught the bus home. When he got home he ran up stairs and tossed his bag onto the floor and dragged out the book, Yami stopped him from turning straight to Amaya's part of the book,
"Perhaps you should look at the information on my other advisors first."
Yugi did as he was told, he found out a lot of interesting things about the other advisors such as Seth and Isis and before he could read the section on Amaya, he was called down for dinner,
"Wow, it's been that long!"
"Yes you seemed very absorbed in the book."
"Well it was fascinating."
He ate quickly and jumped up the stairs, he sat down on his bed picked up the book and turned to Amaya. It seemed that she had done much for Egypt but it said nothing of her taking part in the War, beyond the third year of the war the book said she was killed protecting the Pharaoh as he had said but not by an assassin, after the word assassin the text was smudged and he couldn't read any of it. Her part of the book was long, by the time he finished it, it was 10:00 and he was tired but he still wanted to know how Amaya was really killed,
"Yami?"
"Yes, Yugi?"
"The book said that Amaya wasn't killed by assassins, is it true?"
"Yes…"
"Then how did she die?"
Yami sighed, "Honourably…"
Yugi went to sleep still wondering who or what killed Amaya.
Yami's POV
His heart stung with old memories, why did she have to die? He loved her dearly but she sacrificed her life for his, afterwards he died inside, physically dying was a relief somewhat. Yugi seemed to have taken on a quest to find out as much as he can about Ariana's counterpart. Should he have told Yugi the truth about Amaya's death? He groaned again as another invisible dagger was stabbed in to his heart, to think about her, even after 5,000 years, after she died in his arms, was painful. Perhaps he would tell Yugi tomorrow about who killed her and why tomorrow.
