Chapter 6: Odd travels
Ann woke up early the next morning. She sat up groggily and looked around her now very beat up room. Her room was covered with posters and drawing of dragons and such things, besides the dents. Light streamed though two windows in the back f her room behind her bed. She glanced down at Bill, who was sleeping on the mattress below her bed; his arms & legs were sprawled out and his mouth wide open. Ann stood up and walked over him carefully wonder how he could sleep like that. She left the room silently, and started down the stairs with some noise. She still had her old clothes on and her sneakers curse her forgetfulness. She shook her head and entered the living room quietly and found Kaiba on the couch. He didn't look too good; big black bags under his eyes and looking totally dazed. Mokuba was sleep on Kaiba, his head in Kaiba's lap eyes closed and sleeping peacefully. Kaiba didn't see her standing there; he continued in his dream state. He looked absolutely pathetic. Ann shook her head; it was obvious his young mind had come to haunt him. She felt kind of sorry for him, she didn't mean for it to haunt him. She then walked into the kitchen and made an expresso; she figured it might lessen the blow. She made it in a flash and held it to Kaiba, who didn't looked at her. She sighed and with the other hand shook him a little; He jumped a wake and saw Ann. For a moment she thought he would have glared at her but surprisingly took the cup and sipped it a little, Ann smiled at him helplessly and left the room. Well… he wasn't too angry with her. She found some of her clothes and took a shower that morning. About a haft hour later she came out wearing blue jeans and a very long orange sweater, her hair in a soaking wet ponytail. Everyone was awake now, Joey and Tristin eating cereal, Yugi and Yami all dressed and gelling their hair and using a hand mirror. Bill was drinking an expresso yet again sitting next to Kaiba who still looked a bit dead. Mokuba was up and getting his brother some toast, trying to cheer him up a bit. Yami saw her looking and gave her a grave glance, but it turned into a smile in a few moments. This was confused Ann and after 10 minutes of pondering she shrugged it off and walked across the room and opened a door into the basement. She walked down the stairs quickly and found Bakura playing video games; Ann blinked but found her eyes did not lie. Bakura sat on the floor pushing away at the buttons intently eyes never leaving the screen. Ann rolled her eyes and continued to her computer. She surfed a few hours on the net, learning what she could about Egypt. Time passed quickly and before she knew it Bakura was shaking her shoulder, Ann snapped back to reality, or what was left of it, and looked at him.
"It's time to go…" Ann nodded and shut down the computer quickly and grabbed her coat off a near by chair and followed Bakura up the stairs. A while later they were all in the car again with Kaiba at the wheel. Bill sat in the seat next to him. Behind him was his brother, Joey, and Ann. Behind Mokuba sat Yami, Yugi, and Tristin. Bakura agreed to sit in the back with no seat belts, a very brave thing to do with Kaiba driving not only like a maniac but he was haft asleep as well. Ann looked at him nervously; he himself looked pale as well. Kaiba waited for everyone to settle and hit the gas; he drove out of the drive way quickly and started toward the airport, Bill directing.
" Turn here, Left… no right!"
It was a bumpy and nauseating ride to the airport. When they finally got there everyone but Kaiba got out a bit green in the face but alive; which was always a plus considering Kaiba drove them for 2 hours with out any police chasing them. They walked out of the parking lot at normal speed; they almost entered the building when something astonishing happened. A low flying plane flew right over their heads in a great deal of noise, but is was a breath taking sight. All their heads turned back at full walking it pass over head, except Kaiba who saw and flew helicopters on every day occurrence. When it finally disappeared into the clouds Ann noticed Yami's face had become very pale. She blinked and found the color return in his face as they walked in. It wasn't as crowded as usual, So the whole group of them walked up the counter quickly. Kaiba stood face to face with the waitress. She had fluffy blonde hair and blue eyes, she stopped looking at her nails.
" Can I help you?" Kaiba spoke clearly.
"8 tickets for Egypt." The lady blinked.
" You can't buy tickets here… you must-" Kaiba dug his hand in his trench coat pocket and pulled out a big wad of 20 dollar bills and slammed them on the desk. Ann looked up at him in shock with all the others except Yami who wasn't surprised at all.
" 8 tickets for Egypt." Kaiba repeated clearly. The waitress looked at him and then the bills in total shock; after a few seconds she turned around slowly and made 8 tickets. She gave them to Kaiba.
" Have a nice day…" Kaiba walked away with everyone following him quickly. Ann tried very hard to keep up with his pace put was struggling to succeeds. She opened her mouth.
" Kaiba, What didn't you just rent a hotel or something instead of staying at my house?" She looked over to Ann who was practically running to keep up. He said quiet plainly.
" It was cheaper." Ann would have done an anime fall if this were a cartoon; instead she rolled her eyes and didn't press the subject. They got on the plane; which was basically disserted, a few people reading the paper here or there. They found their seats. Kaiba, Mokuba, and Bill sat in one row, with Bill in the seat next to the walk way, Yami, Yugi, Ann sat in the seat across with Yami at the window seat, and Bakura Tristin, and Joey in the row of seats in front of them, Bakura at the window. Joey and Tristin where talking loudly or arguing one of the two. Bakura looked at them just watching in some amusement. Kaiba was sleeping; Mokuba was taken some headphones with him and listening to them. Bill was reading some fan fics that Ann had found a few days ago to read. Yugi and Ann where looking at Yami in concerned; his face was white and pale. Suddenly the waitress started the safety speech and ended it quickly; after a few moments the plane started to move. One thing; Pharaohs are not ment to fly. Yami was extremely pale was he watched out his window, watching the ground disappear below him. Yami closed his eyes and started taking deep breaths; Ann could feel the plane's altitude climbing. It was very clear that Yami was afraid of flying. This would have been humorous if he didn't look so sick. Yugi patted Yami's hand and said some soothing things Ann couldn't make out; Yami nodded but still looked somewhat ill. Ann placed her head back knowing one thing; this was going to be the longest 12 hours of her life.
12 hours later
Ann woke up to Yugi shaking her.
" The plane is landing." Ann looked around to Bill; he was asleep with the papers on his face. Ann elbowed him painfully.
"OW!" He yelped waking up Kaiba, who looked much better. He opened an eye lazily and looked at Bill and Ann.
" The plane is landing…" Ann told Bill a little louder than expected, Mokuba and Bakura woke up. Bakura looked at Joey and Tristin who were still asleep and started shaking them. Joey continued to snore and say something about a big doughnut and Tristin slept peacefully. Ann looked over the seat at Bakura's failing attempts. She leaned over and yells very loudly.
" HEY GUYS THE PLANE IS LANDING!" This made everyone jump and Joey and Tristin jumped awake wide-eyed. Ann laughed at their reaction; she leaned back laughing very hard. The plane landed and everyone got off the stuffy plane quickly, some more relieved than others. They left quickly for they had brought no luggage. Yami was the first out the door; he placed his feet on the ground and took a deep breath of air with a grin appearing on his face feeling at home. Ann walked out next and nearly choked from the heat. It was unbearable; Her body started to sweat immediately. Bill followed her out and looked at her.
" Hey are you okay?" Ann was now pale and ill looking but she nodded yes. She took off her orange sweater; which under it was an orange tank top. She tied the sweater around her waist loosely. It was a bit better than before; well… heat did affect her greatly. When she shook her head and looked up everyone was looking at her. She ignored their stares and started walking in a direction. When she turned to see if they were following some one ran into her at full force knocking her clean off her feet. She fell pain fully to the ground.
"OW!" She yelped. She stayed on the ground a few moments recovering from the shock when some ones hand was placed in her direction, she took it and looked into the person's face.
" BRAIN?!?!?" The boy's head swung up; He had brown eyes and hair, surprised huh? He wore a black t-shirt that said some weird saying he was famous for. He looked at her in surprise.
" ANN what the HELL are you doing HERE?"
" It's a long story… What the HELL are YOU doing here?"
" Well… Let's just say you missed the field trip yesterday and…" He dug his sneakers in the ground and continued.
" I guess I kind of screwed up…" Ann started laughing at him. One of her good friends from school had taken the wrong flight and ended up in Egypt… poor Brain. Brain's eyes suddenly widened; he was staring at someone at her shoulder, Yami. Ann looked at Yami who looked curious at her friend; she looked back at Brain who wore a plain expression on his face.
"When I say a long story I mean a long story…"
Book Dragon: "Well… there in Egypt now…"
