CHAPTER 4-MILLENNIUM ITEMS
| TURTLE GAME SHOP |
Alumniera walked slowly up the steps of the bright Turtle Game Shop. Her thick hair fell in a braid in the small of her back. She entered the shop, the Millennium Scales in her hand. There was an old man behind the counter, slightly shorter than she was. Her face broke into a calm smile. " Hi," she said, " Could you tell me where Yugi Muto is?" The old man frowned. " Why are you looking for him?" " I've come to ask him something," she answered. " He's not accepting challenges to duels..." the man said sharply. " I'm not dueling," Alumniera replied. She paused. " I'm a friend of Mokuba Kaiba," she said, hoping that the acquaintance could help her meet Yugi. The man arched an eyebrow, then sighed. " Yugi! There's someone here to see you!" There was a clamber on the stairs, and boy with tri-colored hair emerged into the room. He had a good-natured look on his face, and it lighted up when he saw Alumniera. " Hello," and his friendly voice surprised the girl. "Konnichiwa," she responded, her own eyes bearing a kind resemblance. Yugi was having a hurried discussion with his Yami at the moment-
/ It's her! /
\ She's come. \
" Yugi, I need your help on some...things. Could you come with me?" It was a quick and direct question, completely unpredictable, but Alumniera knew it made clear what she wanted. Yugi was slightly taken aback, but he turned to the man behind the counter. " Grandpa, I'm going out for a while. I'll be back soon." The door was left swinging in their wake.
They cruised down the lane in the elongated white limo, Alumniera turned to Yugi with a faint smile on her lips. " I'm sorry if I interrupted you in anything," she said, " My name is Alumniera Sekai." She smiled, and held out a hand. " I know it might seem queer...I doubt you've ever seen me before. You see, I was visiting Mokuba Kaiba one day..." she hurriedly explained what Yugi already knew. She continued when they were seated on the cushions in her home. " The fact is, I need to learn more about this," she finished quietly, holding out the majestic pair of Millennium Scales. Yugi looked down at his Millennium Puzzle. There was so much mystery about the Millennium Items...his Yami knew little about his past as the Pharaoh who had locked the powers of the Shadow Games away. " There's a lot of power in the Millennium Items," he began hesitantly, " they originated from Egypt five millennia ago. I can't tell you much, because they're so complex..." Alumniera still looked on eagerly. " You have to master the powers...I'm not even really sure what some of them do." He stopped, thinking of Yami, then murmured, " I don't think I can tell anything more..."
\ Let me take over, Yugi. \
It was a moment after when it was Yami in the room instead of Yugi. " Alumniera, do you know Seto Kaiba from your childhood?" he asked, not revealing that he was in the room when she and Mokuba had been talking. She turned to him, and her smile was replaced with a frown. " Why Seto Kaiba...?" Even Yami was awkward when she asked the simple question. His answer was interrupted, when she suddenly lurched forward, clutching her heart. " I..." she gasped, " Something has happened."
