Sorry about the wait. We had chappie six ready to upload before, but then evile ff.n decided to be mean and tell us we didn't exist so we deleted our files off our disk for some strange reasons… Grr. Where did we leave off again?… *goes back and reads chapter 5* Ah. That's where. Now what did we write before?… Gah. Stupid ff.n… And just for the note, we've started the sequel to this already, tentatively titled "The Trials of Rebeckah Zion". Hence this story probably will have a few more REALLY long chapters and a cliff-hanger ending. But exams are keeping us busy too, so a bit of a short chapter now to convince you we haven't forgotten all about the story. And then a really long chapter 7, promise!
DISCLAIMER: Don't own anything. Yeesh.
CHAPTER 6: A Trip To Ancient Egypt
[Why would being Egyptian make a difference in how you were treated?] Reva asked stupidly.
[Why are you denying all this?] Blake asked her point-blank.
[Because I don't believe them.] Reva responded.
[Hello?] Kali snapped. [Do you not recall that I was the slave here in the Ancient? I should know how I was treated!]
[Maybe we should just go back and show you,] Son said irritably.
[NO!] came the voices of Kali and a new voice.
[Bakura?] Kali asked. [When did you join our lovely little conversation?]
[When you decided to make a huge racket in my head.] Bakura answered crisply.
[Why can't we?] Son demanded. [Reva isn't going to believe any other way.]
[Because it doesn't work that way.] Loella said in exasperation. [A high-class teenage girl can't just go walking around Phineas Bazaar, you know.]
[Yeah, because you never know who might be lurking in the shadows.] Kali muttered darkly. [There were plenty of guys looking for more than just your money.]
[Hey, I never did nothing like that!] Blake, Son and Bakura argued.
[I never said you were those guys!] Kali snapped. [Blake, you're from a respectable family.]
[Hey!!!!] Son whined.
[You don't count, Son.]
[Hey!!!!]
[Would you quit taking offense at everything I say, you dim-witted clod?]
[Who're you calling a dim-witted clod?]
[You!]
[Guys, please.] Loella interceded. [Are we going to go back or not?]
[No!] Kali and Bakura insisted stubbornly.
[I don't see why we shouldn't,] Reva announced decisively. [I'll get Caryn to—]
[You will leave the hikaris out of this.] Kali said calmly. [If you absolutely must go back, the hikaris stay here.]
[Kali,] Son began tentatively.
[What?!]
[That may not exactly be possible.] Blake agreed. [We're kinda sorta bound.]
Kali gave a great sigh of exasperation. [Well, thank you oh mighty Blake, for reminding me.]
[You're welcome.] Blake answered cheerily.
[You are entirely too cheerful for a yami,] Bakura told him blatantly. (A/N: Eee!!! A variant of a spelling word!)
[I know,] Blake acknowledged. [It'll be the death of me yet!]
It was only two short hours later that they, along with Yugi, Yami, Ryou and Bakura, were gathered in Hoshi Park, trying to explain the course of action to the clueless hikaris.
"So if we didn't exist, why are we going back?" Yugi asked.
"Because we decided you ought to know some stuff about the Ancient." Kali answered. 'And because we're hoping that you'll find out that arrogant bully's true nature before it becomes too late for you.' She added silently.
Nodding at Reva and Caryn, the two closed their eyes and the air around them began to hum and the ground whirl beneath them…
