Recap:
Anzu stared into his compelling orbs called eyes before saying "Let's go" giving Yami the smile that made him melt. He grinned at her before turning, his hand still in hers, as he led the way down the street.
After ten minutes of walking they finally saw the museum up ahead. It was then that they noticed that there was a large crowd of parents with children there and a huge orange banner that had the words HAPPY HALLOWEEN in red paint made to look like blood on the top of the museum's entrance. They then saw workers dressed as people from the past. Pocahontas and John Smith were some of them. The teenage volunteers were dressed more…fictional…some dressed up as zombie mummy's(this greatly insulted Yami) and others dressed as gods and goddesses(which also insulted Yami since it would be forbidden to pretend to be a god)
"Hey Yami it looks like the museum is doing something. Why don't we go check it out? Who knows we might see Ishizu and maybe we'll find out more about your past." Anzu said releasing Yami's hand as she grasped her hands together gleefully as she gazed hopefully into Yami's eyes.
"Alright we will…but…What would a museum have about me? I was probably a commoner at the most" Yami stated looking away from Anzu.
"B-But maybe you weren't! Maybe you were high class or something…" Anzu argued.
Yami smiled fondly at her and ruffled her hair a bit before saying "Anzu…let's not argue about such trivial matters. So…shall we go?" Yami said sticking his hand out to her. Anzu looked at him curiously before a smile broke out on her face as she grasped her hand in his. They then made their way to the museum.
Turns out the museum was doing a Halloween scavenger hunt. People could still go into the museum even if they were not doing the scavenger hunt but they would have to pay. Anzu and Yami went to the semi-large line waiting for their turn to go in.
As they waited they had to deal with some hyper active Yami fans. But it was okay since the fans were children ranging from the age of 3 to 13. Yami tried to be a bit friendlier with them then since he was always very standoffish especially with fans. Anzu couldn't help but smile happily seeing Yami interact with all the children. Yami soon dragged her into the mess as well and pretty soon both Anzu and Yami were interacting with the children.
Everyone near Anzu and Yami noticed the change that overcame Yami once he got Anzu involved. He actually became friendlier and more carefree. He played with the children, and talked happily with the parents.
His face no longer looked uncomfortable and basked in the warmth and affection he was receiving from the children with the help of Anzu. She was really good with kids he noticed.
They all seemed to take an immediate liking to her but of course this did not surprise Yami since he could not comprehend how someone could not like Anzu. The children, the parents, and Yami himself dragged Anzu into the photos. As child after child sometimes the whole group would talk to Anzu and Yami animatedly about this or that Anzu would lean slightly against Yami and his arm was wrapped slightly around her waist his hand laying softly and comfortably on her hip, gripping Anzu's hand in his.
In photos Yami would pull Anzu closer and wrap his arm around her waist more tightly as the child/children would pile in front of them. These actions did not go unnoticed by everyone especially the children. The parents would whisper amongst themselves that they made such a cute couple.
The small children would grin upon seeing their "loving though unconsciously done actions" and the slightly older fans (especially the girls) would take a glance at them and just start giggling madly resulting in getting slightly confused looks from Anzu and Yami but those would only last for seconds since their attention would then be taken by another child or person.
Though it never crossed Yami's mind nor did he and Anzu noticed but they were acting like a Pharaoh and his Queen of the people. Treating their people kindly. Playing with the children, treating everyone correctly and showing everyone that they would be good, just leaders that had the intentions of doing what is best for their people in their heart and in their rule.
Anzu was having a blast playing with all these kids especially with Yami at her side. She loved children! She used to work as a babysitter before getting that job in Burger World…and then quitting it…A thought then crossed her mind…she had quit doing both jobs because of some creep.
Her babysitting job was going great until that day the older brother of one of the children she took care of tricked her saying that he and the parents were going to be out and they needed her to baby-sit the twins.
She had agreed but when she got there no one answered and she had wiggled the door knob and the door opened. When she went in she found that indeed the parents had gone out…but they had gone out with the twins. The older brother was the only one home.
Turns out he wanted to hang out with her, have a couple of drinks with her…and well…let's just say that after she taught him a lesson by hitting him somewhere very painful and had rushed out of the house pissed beyond beliefs…she never did another babysitting job again.
She then chose to work as a waitress in Burger World but everyone knows how that turned out. She quit after getting blindfolded and being held at gunpoint by an escaped convict.
Yami had saved her though she didn't know it was him till later but if it wasn't for those two horrible job experiences chances are that she might have never met Yami…so in reality…she should be thankful that those things happened.
She was broken out of her thoughts when the group of children said bye to her and Yami giving them both big hugs before entering the museum. She and Yami smiled at each other and were going to head to the museum's entrance when they were stopped by a small voice. "W-wait!"
They turned around and saw a little boy…he must have been about 3 walking wobbly towards them. He was wearing khaki shorts and a dark blue tee along with black tennis shoes. Once he got to them he turned his head upward to stare at Anzu and Yami. They both smiled nicely at him and he allowed a toothy grin to cross his face.
"H-Hi!" He stated happily a bit of shyness in his voice.
"Hello" Yami said smiling lightly as he looked at the flushed shy 3 year old.
"Hello there cutie! What's your name?" Anzu stated crouching to have eye contact with the adorable little boy.
A slight blush of embarrassment rose to his face at Anzu's words and Yami couldn't help but chuckle slightly. "M-My n-name i-is J-J-Jason M-M-Mam!" Jason sputtered out face turning redder.
Anzu and Yami both smiled lightly at that. This little boy reminded them (especially Anzu) so much of Yugi. He had the same innocent baby eyes except they were a dark brown mixed with specs of gold. His hair even looked like Yugi's! It was spiked exactly like his except it wasn't as big as Yugi's and his hair was black…as in a beautiful dark midnight black but he also had hot red tips and small strands going through his hair here and there.
Anzu smiled what Yami found to be a beautiful and kind smile as she said "Well Jason. It's very nice to meet you. What can we do for you?" She questioned tilting her head cutely in plain curiosity. Yami felt a blush rise to his face at his thoughts. He then crouched down as well following Anzu's lead to be able to talk to the kid and let's face it he was closer to Anzu now.
"U-Um…well…I…I"
"It's alright…you can say it…go on…" Anzu urged softly.
Yami nodded his head agreeing with Anzu and he muttered out in a soft comforting voice "Go on Jason. Tell us."
"Um…I…I…I'm…I'm your biggest fan!" He yelled out face turning into a tomato with how red it got. "Yami! The King of Games! I recognized you from afar! You're an amazing duelist! And I hope to be just like you when I grow up!" He yelled flushing letting out everything in one breath.
"Oh really now? Why thank you." Yami said. "I really appreciate the support."
Jason just flushed with happiness his adorable baby eyes enlarging even more as they sparkled with happiness.
"You see! One day I'm gonna be just like you! I'll be a King of Games too!" Anzu and Yami smiled at that. The energy radiating off this kid could make anyone happy. He then added as an afterthought "And I hope to find a special girl to be the Queen of Games just like you have!" He said.
"Queen of Games?" Yami and Anzu questioned.
"Yeah! I mean that's what Anzu should technically be called since you and her are together and your title is KING of GAMES!" Jason said smartly nodding his head as confirmation of his words. Anzu and Yami blushed brightly at that. They shared a mutual look of agreement.
This kid was so full of life and happiness and belief…they didn't want to even have a chance to break his thoughts by telling him that they weren't together. Though it didn't stop them from wondering how a 3 year old kid could even think technically let alone even know how to say the word. They shrugged it off figuring he must be some really bright kid…maybe like Mokuba or Rebecca…maybe even Yugi…
"Can we take a photo?" Jason asked giving Yami and Anzu the "infamous" puppy dog eyes Mokuba was famously known for (Though Yugi sometimes used the trick too)
"Of course" Yami answered. Jason's mom they assume appeared literally out of nowhere camera in hand poised and ready to shoot picture after picture. She hustled Jason closer to Yami and Anzu who were crouching(she demanded that they stay crouching for a photo) Yami and Anzu's crouched forms were far closer than they had ever been(exceptions being all the times Yami saved her or what not) and Jason was standing in front of them.
Jason's mom frowned and said her eye already looking through the abnormally large old-styled camera "I don't like it! Anzu dear kneel on your knees oh and face your right fully! And Yami! Um…well…uh…why don't you…turn fully to the left…yes face Anzu alright now kneel on one leg…no! The right leg so the left one can be seen down. Alright now Jason step in between them yes alright now! It looks great but something's still missing…but what…"
Anzu, Yami, and Jason all shared desperate looks of "is this lady nuts?"
"MOM!" Jason whined! "Just take the photo!"
"Now now Jason! Don't rush me! I want to make sure that this photo comes out picture perfect! It's not every day you get to take a photo with the King of Games…and that girl you have a crush on…Anzu…I believe you called her the Queen of Dance & Games."
"MOM!" Jason yelled out flushing furiously. Anzu looked surprised before letting out a giggle and Yami let a chuckle leave him.
Normally he would go rigid if he knew that someone liked Anzu but since it was Jason and Yami liked this kid. He was his biggest fan after all…and he was also only 3 so Yami felt no threat what's so ever for Anzu's heart…wait…since when did he want her heart…oh who was he kidding! He loved her! And he knew it! And so did the whole world…except Anzu!
"Jason! Hush! I finally got it! Anzu I want you to put your arm around Jason's stomach and pull him towards you in a hug!" Anzu and Jason sent each other questioning looks before Anzu complied.
"Now…Yami I want you to put your right arm around Anzu's shoulder pulling her in for a hug! Good good! Very good! Now put your left arm around Jason's neck. Perfect! Now smile real big!" She said. Anzu, Yami, and Jason all smiled happily. She shot and shot and then shot again.
Three photos came out of the camera. The mom waited a bit before she nodded her head confirming that they came out good. She then gave one copy to Yami, one to Anzu, and the last one to Jason with a stern "Don't put your fingers on the photo) warning.
Jason smiled happily at how the photo came out, and Anzu and Yami both smiled respectively at their photo. Looking down at the photo each of them held they allowed a small flush appear on their cheeks as the same thought ran through their head. Is this how it will be if I have a family with Yami/Anzu.
Jason and his mom thanked them before continuing down the road. Anzu and Yami both noticed at the same moment as they turned around that Jason wasn't wearing a costume. They turned around quickly to ask why but saw that Jason and his mom were no longer on the road. They had disappeared. And that was impossible.
Anzu and Yami felt a shiver creep down their backs at the same exact moment as the same thought crossed their minds. Were they ghosts? Spirits? It's not like that would be impossible being that Yami had originally been a spirit and they were near the supposed "haunted" mansion Blue had told them about.
There musings were broken when the mummified teenage volunteer yelled at them that it was their turn to go in to the museum. They walked up the steps towards the door he was holding. Right when they passed the guy winked at Anzu making her shiver and get closer to Yami. Yami saw Anzu's shiver and the guy's wink and threw his arm over her shoulder having his hand grasp hers as she clung tightly to his side.
Once they got out of sight of the teenager they let go of each other but Yami never fully let her go. As he removed his arm he allowed it to travel down her arm up to her hand and grasped it. Anzu smiled shyly at him and they walked through the museum liked that. They got to the office and asked for Ishizu.
The 20-something year old secretary at the desk who's mouth had fallen open on seeing Yami, The King of Games, but had quickly gone back to normal upon seeing him and Anzu holding hands directed them towards the office.
Once Anzu and Yami disappeared down the hall the secretary let out a breath and slumped down in her chair not believing how many important people that she never thought she would ever see she saw in just an hour.
Yami and Anzu made it to Ishizu's office and saw that the big oak wooden door was closed. Yami knocked on it, the loud sound of his knocking echoing across the hall. But there was no answer. Yami and Anzu shared a glance as he tried the knob but the door was locked.
He pounded slightly harder as he yelled "Ishizu! Ishizu!"
With Ishizu an hour before:
Ishizu was checking through some files trying to figure out what artifacts she would like to have come in for the museum. More dinosaur bones? Ancient Egyptian jewelry? Stone tools from the first humans? Or should she ask for that solar system monitor and make a new section of the museum called The System. OH! So many decisions! She leaned her elbows against the table and massaged her forehead feeling the beginnings of a migraine settling on her.
A knock on the door broke her out of her "Why did I want to have a job! Thanks to my families Tomb keeping heritage we get taken care of by the people! But no! I had to go open my big mouth saying I wanted to earn the money myself! And where is her brother! He said he would be here over an hour ago!" rant in her mind.
She figured that it must be her brother so she said "Enter!" In her gruff angry voice. The door opened and someone came barreling in dragging someone else by the arm. It was not her brother like she thought.
"P-Princess!" Ishizu stated immediately getting up rushing to be in front of her desk before falling on the floor kneeling.
"Oh Psh Posh! I thought I told you not to call me that!"
"Y-Yes of course Protector!"
"Or Protector" The voice responded.
"I am sorry my Savior!" Ishizu yelled out.
"ISHIZU!" The girl's voice ranged out annoyed. "Don't call me by any of my old titles! Just call me by my actual name!"
"Why did she call you all of that? What's going on?" The person the girl was dragging asked ripping themselves out of her grip to rub their sore arm.
The girl sighed and said "let me explain" as she started walking to the desk…or more precisely the desk's seat. "Ishizu get the door" she stated. Ishizu immediately got up and closed the door locking it. The girl then threw herself into the chair sideways to have her legs dangle from the armrest.
Ishizu turned around to stare at the person the girl brought. "Why did you…"
"Because I had to. If not I wouldn't have brought him. Trust me. But that's not the point. I came here because I need your help in making Yami remember his past…and also to set Anzu and him up. I figured he can help with that" The girl said shrugging her shoulders.
"But before that." She said straightening up. Her attitude immediately changed from aloofness to dead serious business (imagine how serious Kaiba is) "We've got to tell him a couple of things." Ishizu nodded her head knowing how serious the matter at hand was.
With Ishizu a couple of minutes before Yami knocked:
"I'm sorry but I cannot tell them about there past. It is written that he must remember himself. Surely the gods would punish me for interfering in their plans."
The girl huffed in annoyance knowing that what Ishizu said was true. She had to hold back a snicker though when Ishizu said that it was the god's plans. It was not there plan. They don't know where there standing half of the time and they don't know what's going on in the world. It was Destiny and Times plan or more so game. Everything that happened Time and Destiny had caused it. Everything was just a step or a chess piece in there game…a never-ending game that would continue purely for their amusement.
Though she refrained from saying anything because she knew that it was not time to let even Ishizu know about the whole truth. Better to play it safe.
"What you say is true Ishizu. Though I do not think the "gods" would punish you for giving them a bit of a push in the right direction. I mean how can they expect him to find out if he has no clue for what he's searching for."
"I also see your point. But still…I do not know if it would be wise…" Ishizu stated.
"I know Ishizu I know…but I'm just trying to help…"
"I know that is why you hold the titles of Princess, Protector, and Savior."
"Ishizu…" the friend of the girl said. "From what I've just been informed of…shouldn't you be willing to do what she asks."
"Well yes but she's asking me to speed up a process that was already set in stone."
"Merely because the time it is needed in has sped up." The friend said.
"Please Ishizu…Help me…help everyone…All I'm asking is that you push him in the right direction…push him to the tablets that hold his past…and his destiny…they are in this museum for that purpose are they not?"
"Well yes…but…"
"And he shall surely be able to read the hieroglyphics if he truly is from Ancient Egypt" The friend's voice spoke putting in his two cents.
"I really wish to help but the repercussions are too dangerous…"
"Ishizu…if something was to happen… and the "gods" like you say get angry I will take full blame and full responsibility. I will intervene against them on your behalf."
"Yeah! That's right! She can take them!" The boy cried.
"Remember even though you are truly powerful and have gained great favor with them you can still not fully go against them. They are far too powerful for you."
"I know but either way I will take responsibility. I promise you. And you know that a promise I make…is a promise I keep…always" the girl said getting up from the chair smoothly as she looked into Ishizu's eyes with intense and determined eyes.
Ishizu looked at the girl for a couple of seconds and then at the boy and then at the girl again. She sighed. "V-Very well. I shall help you. But only because of who you are and nothing else. And even though I wish that Yami and Anzu would get together soon I can not help you in your matchmaking scheme if I help you with this. Nor will I be much of help for anything else until the time has come. You shall be on your own from here on. Understood."
"Thank You Ishizu" the girl said smiling gratefully at her.
The boy smiled and nodded his head saying "We can handle the rest! Don't worry!"
"You will not be able to handle everything. There are some things far too dangerous for you to do. There are things that only I can do. You understand that" The girl said.
"Of course. But don't worry. I'll do everything I can to help." The boy smiled brightly at her his face showing pure excitement contrasting greatly with his dark outfit.
A knock was heard on the door silencing all possible talk. They froze. A knock was heard again and Yami's voice rang out loudly.
"Ishizu! Ishizu!"
"G-Go!" Ishizu whispered. "Do not worry. I will do it. Just go! Behind the bookcase! It's a secret passage! It leads back to the secretary! Go!" The girl and boy nodded before dashing behind the bookcase where Ishizu had already pressed the button that would open the secret passage. Once the bookcase closed Ishizu opened the door.
"Yami! Anzu!" She stated surprised. "What brings you two here?"
As Ishizu chatted with Yami and Anzu the girl and boy were going through the secret passage till they got to a part where it went off in darkness. Either the light bulbs ran out of electricity or Ishizu never put light there.
"How are we gonna find the exit if we can't even see?" The boy questioned looking at the girl perplexed as he tripped on his cape and tripped on the girl's cape.
The girl stayed silent thinking.
"Like this I suppose" she said taking out her deck.
"With cards?" The boy asked confused.
"Give me a sec." She said looking through her cards. "Aha! Here we go!" She said smiling. She grabbed two cards out of her deck and holding them both separately in her fingers held them out as if they were in attack mode in her hands.
"Axe Raider! Baby Dragon!" The girl shouted. "Come forth!" A sudden white silvery wind came out of nowhere and formed two miniature tornados in front of them. "I need your assistance!"
There were two loud cries and once the tornados died down in there place was Axe Raider and Baby Dragon.
"What! How!" The boy cried shocked.
The girl smiled and said "Don't be so shocked. I told you that I had some powers."
"Is it safe to assume that summoning your duel monsters without your dueling disk is one of them?" The boy questioned rhetorically.
The girl knowing that it was a rhetorical question still answered "yep"
"So how are they gonna help?" the boy questioned since what they needed was light…and these two monsters didn't give light.
The girl ignored him and turned to look at her two monsters. "Can you two help us out here?"
They nodded waiting for instructions.
"Okay Axe Raider…I know that the club is like your life but I need you to let Baby Dragon put it on fire…" Axe Raider started yelling shocked. "I know I know! But Axe I need it so we have light! I'll get you a new club!" It seems that the girl could understand them.
Oh boy if he told his brother about this he could just imagine his face of disbelief especially since it had to do with this girl who's suppose to be babysitting him. It looks like the girl finally convinced Axe to let Baby B burn his club. A second later a great light filled the area lightning up the darkness in front of them enough that they could see.
Axe Raider gave the burning club to the girl. "Thank You" she said before Axe Raider and Baby Dragon disappeared going back into their cards. She then pocketed her cards and started making her way through the passage. "Come on!" She shouted. The boy ran after her.
The passage led them to a dead end…or so it seems. At one glance it indeed looks like a dead end but the wall was actually another hidden door. The thing is that it's a bit heavy,
"HEAVE! HO!" The girl shouted as she and the boy pushed and pushed the door. After the 5th Heave! Ho! She shouted the wall door opened without a thought sending the girl and boy tumbling out into the open. The club almost landing on the ground but the girl caught it luckily.
They were right in front of the secretary desk and the secretary was looking at them oddly wondering where they came from and why the girl was holding a burning club. They hastily got up and the girl blew out the fire throwing the burned club into would you look at that a fireplace.
They looked over to the secretary, and smiled innocently before they both made a run for it.
The secretary continued to look in the direction they ran off blinking confused and filled with bewilderment. Today's a weird day. First I get the Princess of Games Blue here with Seto Kaiba's little brother Mokuba. Then I get the King of Games here with his Queen of Games. Then I see Blue and Mokuba seemingly come out of nowhere and run off…I need a vacation… The secretary thought before going back to typing in the computer.
Blue and Mokuba ran out of the back door of the museum and were going to go through the front of the museum again with a big group of trick or treaters so Yami and Anzu wouldn't see them. As they made their way down the street a 3 year old boy and his mother were walking towards them. Once they got closer Blue stopped frigidly.
"What's wrong?" Mokuba asked noticing that Blue stopped and got tense all of a sudden.
The boy and the mother stopped as well once they caught sight of Blue. The boy's eyes seemed to water and his mouth broke out into the happiest smile of life. The mother looked shocked but smiled nodding at Blue. Blue couldn't take her eyes off the little boy. Her little boy.
What is he doing here? And with the nurse? She couldn't believe it. It had been so long since she had seen him…he…had never been reincarnated…nor did the nurse…Time and Destiny did not feel like they were necessary to be reincarnated before their true time. So why were they here?
Blue's heart panged with seeing her child…lost from the past…unborn in the present…and shall be born in the future…that is…if there is a future…Yami has to remember his past though for there to even be a chance for the future.
The child and the nurse passed and the nurse whispered in her ear "Your son wished to see you. Good luck with helping Atem" Blue nodded and the nurse and boy disappeared down the block but not before the boy grasped Blue's hand in his for a split second and Blue gave it a light squeeze.
"That was weird." Mokuba stated.
"No not weird…it just was…" Blue said holding back her tears. I have to make Yami remember…remember about his past as Pharaoh along with Anzu…His Queen…She shook her head to get her thoughts and emotions back together and said "Come on. Let's go" as she continued heading to the museum.
M: DONE! What did you think! If you're horribly confused then good! That was my intention! I can only imagine how many questions you all must be having!
Like why was Blue referred to as the Princess, the Protector, and the Savior? What does she, Ishizu, and Mokuba now know? How is it that this kid Jason is Blue's child and that his "mom" is the nurse? And since we've discovered this odd thing of Blue having a child that has never been reincarnated again like the others who do you think would be the child's father? I have a feeling none of you will ever guess it…but try yes they really were Spirits and no Jason is not the Jason from the Yu-Gi-Oh GX. And remember that Anzu, Joey, Tristan, Kaiba, etc. were all reincarnated from there Ancient Egypt forms so Blue was also reincarnated from Ancient Egypt except she seems to know something just like Ishizu. That's all I'm giving you so you can be less confused…some what.
And this is just plain curiosity but how many of you knew that the girl and boy were Blue and Mokuba before I stated it? So if you want to find out what happens next (and I really hope you do) then REVIEW PLEASE!
