~Chapter Thirty-Five~

Shana's P.O.V

I hold on to my sister with all of my strength. But I can feel our grasp slowly slipping. "C'mon, hang in there!" I shout. Suddenly, I get pulled back, tugging my sister along. We both land on the ground hard. "Oof!"

I look up to find Noah standing there. "Noah?! You saved us?" I ask in shock. He sneers.

"Don't think because of that we're friends now. You're still part of the game girls, I only saved you because I need you alive…that reckless Mr. Odin really needs to know how to plan out his strategies. Well, until another time." With that said, Noah materializes into the air.

"Ugh, really, Noah of all people saves us!" Shaina cries out in disgust.

"Hey, at least you weren't skewered to your death." I say, helping her up.

"Whatever…Shana, we need to find the others and tell them the truth when we find one of them." She says. I look down in shame.

"I don't think…I don't think I'll be ready to face the anger. How will we explain it to them?" I ask.

Shaina sighs. "It's only fitting I should explain to them the whole truth. Besides, there were chances where I could've told them everything. But, I was afraid."

I shake my head. "No way. We're sisters, we're in this together, and we're the ones who caused this whole mess. We'll tell them together."

She smiles. "Right. Now where would we find—"

"AAAAHHHHHHHH!" we suddenly hear someone shout out in fear.

We both run over to the sound, and find Atem, Tea, Joey, and Ryou backed up against the wall in fear, cornered by huge dinosaurs. "Oh crap, what are we supposed to do?!" I ask in panic. Shaina looks around quickly.

"Simple. What solves every problem around here. Card games!" She takes off her duel disk, and throws it at the dinosaurs. It bounces right off them, but that catches their attention. They turn to us and snarl. "Okay, we got their attention off them. But what about us?" I ask fearfully.

"Oh that's simple too. RUN!" she yells. The dinosaurs start charging at us. I immediately move out of the way, but Shaina doesn't. "Shaina look out—" I exclaim. However, I shortly get cut off, by her tackling the thing, and she rides it. No actually, the dinosaur more likely riding her.

"Woaaah! Slow down theeerrrre!" she shouts, the dinosaur jumping attempting to shake her off. The other dinosaurs look at them confusingly at first, then growl. They jump at the dinosaur, and bash into it. It rocks back and forth, afflicted by the blow. Shaina quickly jumps on another dinosaur, and sticks her tongue out mockingly at the others.

They hiss at her menacingly, and charge at her. But, they just collided into each other clumsily. Defeated, they stumble up and go away. Our friends run up to us. "Haha, that was nice Shaina, you totally rode them!" Joey says, laughing. We both feel slightly better, thinking maybe they're not mad at us.

But his face quickly clouded, remembering his anger. "Yeah, so here's your duel disk." He mutters, handing it to Shaina. She takes it, crestfallen. I notice that the rest look equally as disappointed as Joey is.

Atem turns away from us. "Come, we need to find the others." He says. My sister and I can easily tell that there's disappointment in his deep voice. We all start walking quietly, to wherever we're going. The first ten minutes are excruciating minutes of silence. Finally, I spoke up.

"You can't blame us." The group turns to me.

"What do you mean by that?" Tea asks, with accusation tinted in her voice. I sigh in frustration.

"Look, the both of us may have lied to you—but that doesn't change anything between us, right? We're still all friends, so even though it's the fact that Shaina and I come from—somewhere else, way out there, it shouldn't taint our bonds with each other."

Our friends are quiet. "Explain to us. Tell us everything." Atem says. Actually, that was more of an order. Shaina and I glance at each other.

"To start it off, we come from another world, or dimension in terms. We come from a world where this world is shown as an anime and manga called Yu-Gi-Oh. It has everything, from Duelist Kingdom to the Pharaoh's past and memories." Shaina explains.

"By everything, you mean that you can tell what can happened in our future, because you already know?" Ryou says, quickly catching on. We both nod.

"Yu-Gi-Oh has all of it's events. Though now, we can't exactly tell what will happen now, because we kind of jacked up the events." I admit.

"If you truly know everything…does that mean you can tell me my past?" Atem asks hopefully, looking at us. I suck in my breath sharply. Ooh.

Shaina shakes her head. "I'm sorry Pharaoh…we can't. One, you're not ready for it, and two, it isn't the time."

"What do you mean by that? I have so much questions and things I want to know about myself. I don't know anything! I should at least have the decency to find out who I truly am!" Atem demands, slightly upset.

"We're sorry…we just can't." I say. His face becomes closed off, and he turns away.

"Don't be like that Pharaoh!" Shaina protests. He simply lets Yugi takes over. Shaina gives a frustrated grunt, and takes her distance away from him. I sigh. This is a nice friendly reunion.

A/N: For you peeps who like Yami/Shaina moments, I'm sorry that this isn't the scene you'd like it to be, all warm, fluffy, and cute. It's a bit harsh now that Atem's giving the twins the cold shoulder. :(
