Sorry about not updating lately it is currently midterm time of college again (BOO) and also a few weeks ago, while I was at college, someone managed to hack my computer and put very unpleasant things on my computer along with 5,725 viruses and Trojans. Needless to say my computer was shit faced high and in operable for the last couple of weeks. Also during this time my friends have introduced me to the following animes, Sukisho (a light yaoi), Please Teacher, Please Twins, and also a OVA series called Sex Pistols (a not light yaoi needless to say that one I didn't want to watch at first but since one episode is out and nothing happened….I liked it lol) and also when the hacker got my computer, I had this chapter finished but when I got a hold of my laptop after it was fixed and made secure, it was gone so I had to type it all over again and I stopped writing this story out so I could produce it faster and well…I didn't want to do it and I wanted to write a fanfic for Sukisho after I had an interesting dream so I put this off even further. But I'm getting back to writing this so I'm going to stop putting it off and let's get going.

Returning to Life

So I was at the final stage of what I assumed was the trials because I saw giant golden gates that were said to be the golden gates of heaven. I wondered what happened next in order to return to the land of the living but I guess I'll find out myself when I get to the apparition or entity who is in charge of the trial.

I approached the gates and when they opened I decided to go inside and see who was waiting on the other side where I was in the presence of the almighty god Osiris. So I was starting to panic slightly because I had no idea what was going to happen seeing as I never met Osiris when I died the first time because Anubis refused to bring me up to heaven.

"Who are you?" Osiris' voice boomed.

"I am Yugi almighty god Osiris." I replied not looking up at him and I automatically dropped to the ground in respect.

"You are Egyptain? I somehow doubt this due to your skin color." Osiris replied.

"I understand Osiris. I am one of Anubis' rejects." I replied.

"Anubis' rejects? Are the people of Egypt still going on about that? I wish they don't do that because it's not true. So many innocents die because of it." Osiris sighed.

"So…I'm not cursed?" I asked shocked.

"No, you mearly have a skin condition. You're just unable to tan like most Egyptains. However you're hair is also throwing me off because I doubt that's your natural hair color."

"It is almighty Osiris." I said.

"Really? So let's get to business why are you here in front of me."

"I am undergoing the trail of life. I wish to return to the land of the living after being bitten by a cobra and becoming very ill because of it. I'm almost dead in the land of the living I assume because I passed out during the last trail and I was told that I had passed in the land of the living."

"Well, you have made it this far. And I know that you are a troubled being but I must ask. Why are you trying so hard in order to return to the land of the living? What's waiting for you there?"

"My family."

"Family? You're parents and grandfather were killed long ago."

"I consider my master and his friends my family." I replied. "I serve Prince Yami and I consider his brother, cousins, and their slaves my family. They protect me and care for me as if I wasn't a slave but an equal. It's been so long since I had that feeling and no matter what I face I'm not ready to give that up just quite yet."

"When do you feel like giving it up?"

"When they're gone and I'm all alone." I said honestly. "Either that or when it's really my time. Until then, I will fight to stay alive and protect them as they protect me. With everything they can do and have."

"You are very brave and honorable. I like that in people, so many of our people have lost that ability during the hard times. Especially when they think that the pharaoh had betrayed them so."

"Betrayed them? You mean Yami and Atemu's father? What did he do that seems to be so bad?"

"That is not my place to say. The only thing you need to worry about is finding your body. You never know where it could be when I release you from here and back into the world of the living." Osiris replied.

"Really? I get to go back?" I asked happily.

"Yes but your return won't be easy by any means. The condition of your body is a huge factor in what happens when your soul returns. Your body without its soul is normally pretty unresponsive and therefore your body could be starving and weak. You'll have a battle on your hands."

"That's fine by me as long as I can be with my friends and in my country where I belong for now."

"I like you kid. Alright, I'll be sending you back to your body. You'll have to find it but I'm sure you'll be able to. When you do a line yourself with your body and just lay down into it and your body will slowly restore itself within a day or two. Maybe sooner depending on how sick you are." Osiris replied before he turned and pointed to a different set of golden gates. "Go through those gates there and you will end up somewhere near Egypt. However don't dilly dally for you won't have that much time to find your body. A few hours at best. The upside is that you will be able to move fairly fast since you'll be able to fly through the air being a spirit. I'd advise that you don't fly through mortals in order to get to your body because you might end up being stuck in the mortal's body."

"Thank you soo much." I smiled and I walked over to the gate.

"Oh and Yugi." Osiris spoke up again and I looked over to the almighty god.

"Yes?"

"Don't think you're totally in the clear. You still have trials ahead of you and if you fail, you will return here. And you won't be able to go back. But I believe in you and you'll have your friends to help you and support you during those trails."

"I figured I wouldn't be free of the trails. It seemed a little easy since all that really happened was my heart was tried minus the duel against Prince Yami's magic guardian. I wonder why it was said not many people make it back to life."

"Not a lot of people are given the option. Those who are usually have a shred of darkness or hate in their hearts that will soon overwhelm them. There are very few pure ones like you in the world, even outside of Egypt."

"I see."

"Now get going. If what you believe is true, you have a lot of people hoping for your recovery." Osiris replied with a smirk and I bowed quickly before running threw the gates.

The moment I went through the gates I was in a desert in the middle of a sandstorm. I looked around confused for a minute before I realized I was really back in the land of the living…well half way in the land of the living. I knew I had to get back to my body however…I had no idea where in the desert I was, and which way was the palace where my body would more than likely be in Yami or my room. Luckily my room was in his room just a smaller room to the far side next to his bathroom.

"Let's see, where is the palace?" I wondered before I started to fly in a random direction hoping to the Gods and goddesses I was going in the right direction.

Eventually I came to a very populated town however I realized that the down was near the Nile and it was actually my old home town before I was run out of it. I then knew where I had to go but before I did I decided to quickly visit where my family used to live before they were killed.

I went to a space of land that was chared and completely destroyed and there were talismans and sutras all over the land as if my family was cursed. Which because of my skin color and what people assumed was I guess we were. It was if the village didn't want us to harm their land or crops since this town was a major trading town to the town that held that palace in it as well as some of the other countries in the world since my town was located at the largest part of the Nile so ships could navigate it easier than anywhere else in the Nile and had a reputation to uphold.

An invisible tear went down my face as I thought about my family who died in this inferno, their bodies still probably in the wreakage and if they weren't they were buried deep in the earth, probably with nothing but sutras covering them in order to allow them to not be reincarnated. I was now kind of wishing I got to see my family for a little while, while I was up in heaven with Osiris but I didn't have time to reimenise for the moment. I had to get back to the palace and find my bloody body so I could return to it and get back to living my life serving Prince Yami and the rest of his friends and family and being happy again.

I went back to the entrance of the town and I flew south, knowing that that's where the town the palace resided in was. Or at least, I believed it was since I wondered around the desert for so many years I probably lost track of what was up and which way was down. Also being unconscious when I was found and rescued by Seth probably didn't help me out any either.

But it was a start so I flew off, going damn near the speed of light. It was actually pretty fun but I was excited to get back to my body so I needed to focus and fly myself over to the palace.

Finally, I found the Nile and remembered that there was an osais that Yami brought me to near by and I knew where I was going now. I flew straight ahead and I finally made it to the palace with a grin on my face. I was almost home.

Soon the giant palace walls appeared and I could see them in the distance and even the guards who were so cruel and mean they took pleasure out of beating the prisoners as they were brought in to be placed into the dungeons until they were tried against the millennium items Yami, Atemu and the priests held. I approached the palace walls and I was feeling a little adventurous and played a trick on the guards, knowing that only I would know I was the one who caused it. And the guards said some things to some really nice people while I was there that made me upset and no one else knew about it. So I decided to create april fools day and I rushed over to the tall, fat, guard and pulled down his leather tight like pants and all you could see was his underwear underneath and he flipped out and pulled his pants up and his fellow guard mate was laughing like mad while he watched his comrade jump around like a fish out of water looking for the one who pants him.

I held back a laugh and I flew into the palace through the giant gold brick walls and I eventually found Yami's room and my body was laying in Yami's bed and it was covered in sweat, and very pale and I looked like a mummy without all the bandages and Yami's bed was my sarcophicious. I didn't even like the way my body looked but I decided I wasn't going to deal with it any longer and I went over to my body and I aligned myself just like Osiris said and I felt myself going back into my body and I returned. I was extremely weak now but I wanted to try and open my eyes when I heard the door open and Jonouchi walked in to visit me but I was just so tired and weak.

"I can't believe that he only has two days left until Isis puts him down." Jonouchi replied.

"He's not able to survive in his condition Joe." Seth replied as he joined his boyfriend.

"I think he can make it though. Maybe Isis will give another extension."

"Unless Yugi starts to turn around or wakes up that's not going to happen. She'll inject Yugi with the medicine that will quickly shut his body down and let him go peacefully."

"I know Seth but just look at him. Look at his eye movement, he's dreaming. He's actually dreaming he just isn't laying there anymore. Maybe now his body is recovering and he'll wake up." Jonouchi replied

"I hope you're right. I don't want to see Yami the way he is anymore. It's starting to get pathetic."

"Seth! That's your cousin."

"I haven't seen Yami like this since Aunty died."

"Yami loves Yugi as if he was his younger brother he lost when his mother passed. I think Yami's trying to fill the void of his mother since Pharaoh Akhankanon is always busy with being the pharaoh of Egypt and Atemu is always in training in order to become the next pharaoh when he finally passes. It's not as absurd as you think. If something like this happened to me, Yami, or Atemu I'm sure you'd probably be the same way. More me than anyone else I believe but still."

"Yugi's been here for a few weeks before he got sick by that cobra. I don't see how he couldn't gotten so attached to this kid."

"You fell in love with me within a month and admitted it to me within that month." Jonouchi said which caused Seth to blush.

"Shut up puppy." He mumbled and it almost made me want to laugh if I could.

Jonouchi and Seth sat and visited me for a little while longer before they left for the day in order to attend to their duties so they could retire for the day sooner than they normally would.

I slept for the rest of that day and most of the next day before my eyes fluttered open. When they did I was to weak to sit up but I looked around the room and no one was there but I heard a commotion out in the hall way.

"Isis you can't! you said that Yugi still had a few days left!" Yami shouted.

"That was a few days ago Yami. I'm sorry, it's time." Isis replied and she opened the door to the room.

"Please, I know that Yugi will recover! You can't kill him!" Yami shouted, neither one of them noticing that I was actually awake and I decided to try and see if I could control my voice but I ended up coughing causing the two of them to look over at me.

"Yugi?" Yami asked, tears in his eyes.

I looked over to them and Yami ran over to me and he tackeled me into a hug, causing the breath I had just taken in to be knocked out of me, sending me into a coughing fit.

"Yami?" I asked, my voice litterally shot.

"I was so worried about you." Yami replied happily. "Would you like something to drink Yugi?" He asked and I nodded and he went over to a pitcher of water and poured me a glass of water and he helped me slowly drink the water and It relieved the burning in my throat from being so sore.

"Yugi, are you feeling alright?" Isis asked, stepping in for the first time.

"I'm a little weak." I admitted.

"Can you see, hear, and breath alright?"

"My nose is a little stuffy but in a head cold kind of way." I responded, my voice cracking so Yami gave me a little more water.

"Yami, can you please give me a few minutes with Yugi? I want to do a medical exam on him." Isis replied. "Why don't you go and tell the others that Yugi woke up and he'll be alright."

"But."

"I'm fine now Yami. Go ahead." I replied with a smile and Yami quickly wiped his eyes and he ran out of the room as if he was a five year old on their birthday or Christmas morning rushing to get to his presents.

"That teen sometimes is a real pain in the behind." Isis laughed before she turned her attention back onto me. "He was really worried about you Yugi. Almost never left your side while you were out. He stayed up and made sure to take care of you and made sure you had everything you would need in order to make sure your body was supplemented right and able to stay as healthy as it could be."

"Really?"

"Yeah, it was really sweet. Yami really does care about you Yugi, you're the brother he lost."

"He lost his brother? He and Atemu had another brother?"

"When their mother got ill and passed on she was carrying. They don't like to talk about it. They were beyond grief stricken when the queen passed on." Isis said sadly. "There was nothing I could do to save either one of them."

"Don't blame yourself, it was just time for the queen to pass on. Unfortunately it just means that the princess wasn't meant to exist in this world. But I'm sure she would've been beautiful. I'll have to ask Yami to tell me some stories one of these days."

"That you would. You would've loved the queen. Now get some rest, I'm sure you're going to have a lot of company later on and I'm sure your exhausted. As soon as you wake up again we'll see if we can get some soup or stew into your stomach."

"Sounds good. Thanks Isis." I replied. "Can you do one thing for me please before you leave?"

"What's that Yugi?" She asked.

"Can you bring me to my bed?"

"You're to stay here until you're a well enough to be moved. Honestly Yami's bed is better for your weak body right now than the slaves bedding." Isis replied. "Just worry about getting some rest for now." Isis replied before she left the room and I curled up underneath Yami's thick blankets and I fell asleep for some much needed rest for both my body and my soul.

Well, that's it for this chapter. Hope everyone liked it. It's still midterm time so I'm not gonna be able to update again soon plus writers block is hitting strong. I was lucky I managed to get this one done. Well see you guys next chapter.
