Attara: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh and…never will. Last time we left off where Liana died! By the way, this is in Aria's point of view.
I was finally back to Earth, but it seemed all too strange to me. I guess civilization does progress quickly when warranted, since it definitely did not look like my homeland to me. I laughed as I heard Devi grumbling about how early these humans committed to marriage. Aria! I'm married again! It's like I can't get into the mortal realm without being married to someone first. Devi said as she realized Liana's age. It sure does look like it, doesn't it? I answered. Devi looked up to see a boy with blue eyes and brown hair watching us suspiciously.
"And your name is…?" Devi asked.
"Seto Kaiba."
Oh great. Now there's another question added to the list, Aria! Do you know whom Seto Kaiba is? Devi complained. I don't know… I wasn't really paying attention when we were between dimensions. I replied sheepishly. That makes two of us. Devi sighed. I think we shouldn't do that anymore… She continued. Me neither. I agreed.
"So…how was your day?" I could tell Devi was trying to get as much information as needed from this "Seto Kaiba."
"Fine."
"Hmmm…"
Do you think he will die soon? Devi wondered. Devi! That's a mean thing to ask! I scolded playfully. I just want to know whether or not I should tell him about us. Devi explained. He looks like a healthy teenager, so I think that he might live longer than Yami… I whispered.
"Seto, how old are you?"
"Fifteen, why?"
"I just wanted to know that for my present for you…" I almost laughed out loud when I heard that poor excuse for an excuse.
"Our marriage isn't a big deal."
So he's our husband, eh Devi? I teased. Be quiet. Devi grinned.
"What do you think of our relationship?" Devi interrogated further.
"I don't know you that well." This wasn't going very well. None of us knew who Devi and I were.
"I see."
Do you by any chance know where we live? Devi asked. I think that we are rich. I guessed, not entirely sure whose soul we had removed. We definitely need to pay more attention to our substitute lives. Devi commented. Definitely. I said.
"Can you walk me home?" Devi asked desperately.
"I don't know where you live."
This is getting really pathetic. Devi commented. Maybe we should tell him about us? I suggested.
"I have something to tell you, Seto." Devi decided.
"What is it?"
"I have…" Why was she stalling?
"What?"
"Uh…"
"Yes?"
"Um…amnesia." WHAT?! That's not what she has!
"That might explain why you asked so many questions. But how could you know that?" Yeah, how could she know that?
"I don't know, dumb luck, I guess. Well, I better go find who I am, okay?" Another poor excuse for an excuse.
"Uh…yeah…whatever."
"Bye!"
"Look, you're welcome to use the phone book or whatever you want in this house."
"Thank you."
What happened?! I thought that you were going to tell him about us! I blurted. I'm just not too sure about revealing that right now, okay? Devi said. Fine then, but I'm not staying cooped up here forever, you know. I warned. I know, I know. Devi looked in the phone book to find the name "Liana." Uh…Devi? I asked. Yeah? She answered, absorbed in the book. Can't you just sense the address? I wondered. Yes, but I have to pretend like I'm normal, or he'll probably get suspicious. She reasoned. O…kay. We finally found the address, but it wasn't easy considering that these letters are really weird with the organization and all. Although we did teleport to the address, within the hour!
Liana was apparently a very wealthy person, as far as I could tell. She had a huge mansion, bigger than the temple I used to live in when I was in Egypt! Well, anyway, as soon as we entered the house, a butler greeted us and told us that our secretary had left several messages from the company. She works. I noted. At least she does something. Devi reasoned. What is that supposed to mean?! I demanded. Nothing! Devi eluded. What kind of a job do we have? I changed the subject. I think we're the president of some company. Devi imagined. That's cool. I remarked. Yes, yes, I know, Egyptians don't talk like that, but in Mornedra, I had to study the languages of Earth and its progress for "basic" knowledge. How is that basic?!
"Where is my chauffeur?" Asked Devi.
"But, Miss Liana, you don't work today!"
"I left some work at the office; I need to get it." Yeah…sure you did. I whispered to her. Shush!
"Right away, miss."
In a few moments, a man dressed in a tuxedo appeared at the door. He opened the door to the limousine and drove us to a huge, majestic building, a lot bigger than the mansion. How did they do that? Earth doesn't have magic…or at least not from humans…regular humans, not the kinds where they have those millennium items.
"We're here!" the chauffeur announced as we arrived at the entrance.
"Thank you."
We entered the building quickly. At least we know where we work! I said. But isn't Liana a bit young to be working? Devi speculated. Not from where I'm seeing. I watched as everyone greeted us cordially, many of them nervously eyed us. Suddenly, a girl came up and started talking about the business. She must be our secretary. Devi assumed. Probably. I stared at the woman in disbelief with a hundred words coming out of her in a second. Can she repeat that? Devi asked. Just nod and run as fast as your legs can carry you. I forced our body to move.
I don't even know what our products are. She muttered as I felt her slowly translating the words on our way to the elevator (And what's up with that? Can humans make objects levitate? After all, that is what elevator means, isn't it?). I'll remind you not to ignore the vessel's life ever again. I said. Devi approached the floaty object (a.k.a. elevator) and went to the top floor. We went into a room that had the word President on the door. Should we be coming here? I asked when I remembered how the guards in Egypt would kill anybody who trespassed onto the royal property. Don't worry about it. Besides, the only way we're going to know what we do in this world is if we find Liana's records. Devi mumbled. She read the papers on the desk and found out that we were the owner of a company that manufactured Duel Monsters accessories. Hey! That looks familiar! I think it's the modern version of the Shadow Game. I wonder if it would inflict pain, too… I wondered. Yeah, they do resemble it closely. Devi observed.
"Miss…uh…secretary? I would like the updates of the company." Devi called.
"Yes, madam."
Miss Secretary? I questioned. What? I didn't know her name! Devi defended. It would be a very good idea to use your powers to read minds or something, you know. I reminded. Fine, then. Devi murmured. I could tell she didn't want our cover to be blown, but she scanned the secretary's brain anyway.
"Miss Trent, I would like to leave now." Did she really have to ask?
"Yes, madam."
If we have something to do with Duel Monsters, should Seto Kaiba know about Liana? Devi asked me. What does he have to do with Duel Monsters? I questioned. His name appeared several times on the papers I just saw. Devi informed. Well, then, yes! We entered the elevator, but Devi didn't use it since she teleported out, after making sure that there were no cameras. We arrived at the Kaiba mansion and sought out Seto. Devi discovered him in the library, reading some technological book. How predictable.
"Seto?"
"Yes?"
"Do you know anything about me?" Now she asks?
"You're uncle had died and you inherited everything from him." Now he answers?
"Oh, I have to go now."
I thought I was supposed to keep a low profile in this world. Devi thought. Well, at least you have money to burn, right? Besides, I was the queen of Egypt, so we're supposed to come into this world with a bang! I joked. Devi teleported out of the mansion and onto our property. As we entered the door, the butler greeted us once again. For several weeks, Devi and I lived by ourselves, continuing on our daily, if not normal, lives. That is, until one time the butler handed us some mail, which obviously wasn't unusual. One of the letters included an invitation to a dance, a duelist's dance. It was from the creator of Dungeon Dice Monsters, Duke Devlin. Do you want to go? Asked Devi. Sure, why not? I said, even though I didn't see the point. I wish I had never agreed to go…
Aria: You're just full of cliffhangers, aren't you?
Attara: But it was your point of view!
Aria: And I'm glad I commented on the conversations!
Attara: Well, is sort of explains stuff…minimally.
Aria: Who cares?
Attara: I think I do.
Aria: Sure…that what you want us to think…
Attara: Right…
Aria: By the way, don't forget to review!
