Sister of the Pharaoh: Hey there! Happy halloween all! Here's Chapter 12 as a treat! Please enjoy!

Disclamer: I own nothing!


Yuki kept getting one surprized after another when she woke up the next day. The first thing she did was go with Maria to the spare closet to get some new clothes. Yuki took off her dirty white dress and bow and changed into a bule shirt with double zero's like a sport jersey. Along with white shorts, pink sneakers and a red headband to keep her bangs out of her face.

After some new clothes, Maria took Yuki outside to introduce her to everyone. Yuki was shocked at seeing all the kids playing outside. They seemed so innocent and at peace. From what Kaimiya told her, all humans including children were all responible for the world becoming as bad as it is. Yet Yuki couldn't see how they were at fault, they didn't seem to be doing anything wrong.

Yuki was shook from her thoughts when a ball rolled up to her feet. She looked down at the object and picked it up as a boy who seemed about 12 years old run up her. He had spikey brown hair with orange eyes. He wore a bule and white shirt with red shorts and black sneakers. The boy had a warm smile on his face as he apperoached Yuki.

"Hey, can I have that back, please?" The boy asked, holding out his hand for the ball.

"Sure." Yuki said with a straight face as she handed the ball back to him.

"Thanks, hey are you new here? I don't think I've seen you before." The boy asked.

"This is Yuki. She came here last night. Yuki, this is Kai. He's kinda like the leader here." Maria said, giving the introducions.

"Nice to meet ya! " Kai said, holding out a hand in greeting.

Yuki reached out slowly, but didn't take Kai's hand. She wasn't sure if getting close to people would be a good idea. Before she could think anymore on it, Kai took Yuki's hand and shook it. Surprizing her with his greeting and a goofy smile. Maria and Kai then took Yuki around play ground. They showed her kick ball, dodge ball, hopscotch and other games.

Then they showed the huge jungle gym, where kids could hang on the bars, slide, swing and other things.

"You want to try the monkey bars, Yuki?" Maria asked.

"How do they work?" Yuki asked.

"It's not hard, you just go from one bar to the other using your hands." Maria said, imateing a climbing motion.

Yuki walked up the front and climbed up to the first bar. After putting both hands on the bar, Yuki let her feet drop. She then hung there, having no idea what to do next. She looked down at Maria and kai who looked up at Yuki with consern.

"What's wrong Yuki?" Maria asked.

"Did ya get stuck?" Kai asked.

"What do I do now?" Yuki asked.

Making Maria and Kai laughed. Not to be mean, it was just funny and surprizing at how she wasn't scared. Yuki looked at them confussed until Kai spoke.

"You have climb across the bars with your hands. From one bar to the other. First your left hand, then your right. Either or, doesn't matter." Kai explained.

Yuki nodded and tried to go across. She let go of the bar she was holding with one hand and used it to reach for the next bar. Her other hand followed and soon she made it all the way across without falling. As Yuki climbed down from the other side, Maria and Kai ran up to her. Maria hugged Yuki while Kai placed a hand on her shoulder. Yuki was confussed as to why til she looked at the smiles on their faces.

"That was great!" Maria said pulling back.

"Yeah, I've never seen anybody make it all the way across. Those monkey bar's stretch really far, and it's even cooler cause it was your first time." Kai complamented.

Yuki suddenly felt strange. She never felt this kind of warmth before from anyone. It seemed the same as when Yusei and Mizuki were together, but different. It was as if something was filling up inside her. Like a hole inside her was no longer there. Something about the feeling was strange, yet it seemed right somehow. Suddenly Yuki wanted to try more. To try things she hadn't done yet.

"Yuki, you want to try a game of Basket Ball next?" Maria asked.

"Alright." Yuki answered with a true smile on her face as her eyes lost the cold look they had once before.

"Yeah!" Kai cheered.

"Then come on! Let's go!" Maria said, pulling Yuki along with them.

Never had Yuki felt the way she did on that day before. She played, laughed and talked with the other kids. All the while, enjoying herself greatly. It was as if something had bloomed in Yuki's heart. Like meeting these people and seeing this experince had given her a sence of freedom. Along with a sence of hope.

At the end of the day after dinner, Maria, Kai and Yuki went to get ice cream. The strawberry flavor was cold and sweet, and Yuki had never eaten something so wonderful before. The three of them sat on the river bank to enjoy their treat while watching the sunset. Eating in silence until Kai spoke up.

"Hey, Yuki. Your gonna stay for while right?"

"What do you mean?" Yuki asked.

"Well, the three of us seem to make a good team. So I was hoping that you'll be sticking around, at least for a while. I think we'd be great friends." Kai said.

"Yeah! Then maybe the three of us could travel together when we grow up!" Maria suggested.

"Now your talking!" Kai agreed.

"Friends?" Yuki asked.

Not because she was confussed, but because she was so surprized that they trusted her so quickly. Both Kai and Maria look at Yuki with unsure faces.

"You mean, we're friends? Even though you don't know who I am or where I come from?" Yuki asked.

"Why should that matter? Your here now, and your stuck with us! Cause once Maria and I decided your our friend, there's no returns!" Kai said while placing an arm around Yuki's shoulder.

"That's right, and besides the teachers looking for us we're on our own. So we gotta stick together, cause we're all family." Maria said, placing an arm around Yuki's shoulders as well.

Yuki smiled and cried tears of happiness. She now knew what was missing before and why it was gone. Because she finally understood the feelings of love and friendship.

Along with how wonderful they both can be.
