PART 4 Field Trip
Yugi and the others wanted to congratulate you on your new job, so they decided to take you out to a local diner for dinner. During the meal, Yugi had been trying to get you to go to the museum, but you always dismissed it saying you were too busy. He seemed to like ancient Egypt A LOT, and it scared you a little, but you had seen scarier in the states. You decided to tell him you would go if he promised not to try to scare you around the mummies. He just snickered and smiled. That scared you a little, and you started to resent this choice, but you were going to have fun. Then Yugi started telling you how archaeologists found reason to believe duel Monsters was played in the past.
Right then and there, you became interested. As you waited for your meals, you all talked.
"Hea, now are you SURE you can trust Kaiba?" Tea asked.
"He's just nothing but one of those spoiled rich kids who think they're better than everyone." You responded.
"I know, but what if he tries something? Do you think you can take him?" Tea asked again.
"Tea's got a point. Kaiba is the type to play with your head." Joey added.
"Guys I'm fine. I'll be O.K. my spirit isn't broken easily. I mean, you don't know my life." you told them thinking about your father.
As you and the gang continued talking, you learned many things. You learned that Tea's dream was to attend Julliard in New York City as a dancing major. You learned Joey had a little sister, Serenity, who needed an operation for her eyes, so she wouldn't go blind. However, the words just seemed to flow through you. Nothing really caught your attention. You were in a daydream. Was all this real? Did you really start finding a niche here? You were broken out of your daze by the smell of burgers and Grilled Cheese. In the end, Joey picked up the tab, being the gentleman he was, and you all headed for the Museum.
After awhile, you all arrived at the colossal museum building. You made a mental note that it was almost like the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. The gang led you around and showed you the main exhibits that were on the way to the Ancient Egypt area. You were completely astonished. Who thought a trip to the museum could be so much fun? You, finally, arrived to the Ancient Egypt wing where ancient artifacts laid in glass cases all around. You saw swords, scepters, and jewelry everywhere. Somehow, you seemed to know what everything was, but you've never seen it before. The gang was surprised! Well, everyone but Yugi that is. He seemed to know more about you then you did at this point. Of course, you didn't notice this, because you were having fun. You looked and studied every artifact. You read each description board. There were so many interesting things about Ancient Egypt you never knew about. A woman entered the exhibit, but you didn't realize it until you heard her voice.
"Pharaoh, what are YOU doing here?" You turned to see a very tanned woman staring at the group. She had black hair that had the front ends of her hair wrapped by what seemed to be gold, and she wore a tiara tube thing around her head. Her cloths looked like those you saw in Egypt on movies.
"Wait a second," you spoke confused, "You must have him confused with someone else. His name is Yugi not Pharaoh"
"I beg your pardon," the woman asked.
"Ishizu, this is Nikki. She moved here from the states. She seems real interested in your exhibit."Yugi told her
"Hold on," you said throwing your hands up, "Her exhibit. So, she's the one who runs the exhibit?"
"Yes I am," she spoke looking towards you, "My name is Ishizu Ishtar. I collected these artifacts and put them on display here. Many duelists come here to see about duel Monsters in the past."
"Speaking of that," you asked, "I've looked around this whole wing, and I've found nothing that even resembled Duel Monsters."
"Ishizu, could you show her the tablet?" Yugi asked.
"Why would that be Pharaoh?" she asked. Yugi asked to speak to her alone for a minute. You started to wonder why he could not talk to her right here.
(Yugi's POV)
You asked Ishizu to talk to you privatively for a moment. The two of you walked to the next room and closed the door. "Ishizu, there's something different about Nikki. Yami says he senses an ancient prescience around her. It's not a Millennium item though," you told her.
"So you want to find out if there is another character in the ancient struggle other than Kaiba and yourself." Ishizu concluded.
"Yes, she has something to do with the past we just know it. You should have seen her in the exhibit. She knew what everything was and what it was used for before she read the boards. She told me History was not her subject. I know it somehow, I just do. She's connected to Yami somehow." you insisted.
"Alright Pharaoh We'll show her the relic tablets. If you find out she has ANY connection to the past, tell me right away. That kind of information could alter the path of your destiny." She told you. The two of you nodded in agreement and headed out the door...
