Chapter 13: An Alter Ego?
Do I have an alter ego?
It has been a question that I have asked myself over and over again, hoping an answer would come forth.
It hasn't worked…yet…
I have asked Shalina to describe what the Hunter did, and she, as a half-time fun writer, gave me this long but useful description. She also gave me a mental image and a drawing of the Hunter. I didn't change a bit!
All I did was wiggle my fingers a lot!

"What the heck are you two doing?" Seto asked. Atemu looked at him, and then looked away. He was lying on his stomach while Shalina gave him a massage. Just thinking about the Hunter made him tense.
"Go away, Seto," Shalina said, throwing a hard covered book at him. He closed the door to the bedroom just in time.
"The Hunter wiggles his fingers," Atemu said, bringing them back to the conversation they were having before Seto interrupted.
"No, he was creating signs with his hands…independently," Shalina answered.
Atemu tried making signs with one of his hands. "Can't do it," he said.
"Relax, Atemu," his wife responded, digging her palm into his back. A loud crack could be heard from where she hit him.
"Thanks," the Pharaoh said, grinning.
Ticked off, the Queen dug both of her palms into his back, making him cry out in pain.
There have been times that I tried to summon that unknown alter ego. I always made sure that I was alone before I did so, just in case. Who knew what side he was on?
Until I find control, he will be known as the Hunter.

"Searching for the Hunter again?" Akhenamkhenan asked from the doorway. Atemu only narrowed his crimson eyes at him. "Why are you being so serious about this business?"
"Don't you dare say that this is all a make-up story," Atemu growled.
"No, I believe you. I just don't see why you're so eager to meet the Hunter. Yugi has been the only one among us who has had an alter ego."
"And that was me," Atemu said, rolling his eyes. "I know. I was there."
"I sure hope so. Why don't you ask him about it?" With that, Atemu's father left him alone.
I did ask Yugi about it, and he had nothing to say. His situation is know to me, but my situation is unknown to him. It seems that only Shalina and I are the only one know the most about the Hunter; me having been him and Shalina having seen him in action.
To my horror, Blood attacked us before I found anything more about the Hunter…
