Attara: Not many people gave me suggestions for what Seto saw!

Aria: Except for one person, who thought it was his millennium rod…

Attara: Yeah! That was a great guess, but that's not it…

Aria: Uh-huh, yeah, well, back to me!

Attara: That's right! This chapter is in Aria's point of view once again.

Aria: And I have another job!! I'm the disclaimer in Penny's story!

Attara: And I'm the co-writer! Don't forget to read it! The other authoress is Penny: Angel of Darkness, so just look her up and find her story! It's about a girl named Mihu Lluadd. It's a very interesting fic…and we just started it! Well, back to my fic! I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh and last time we left off where Seto saw something…weird!

Changes of Life

I laughed when I saw Seto stare at all of the Mornedraian servants in awe. Magic dominated the kitchen as silverware levitated around the dining room table, trying to find its correct position. After Devi had lost her magic from Mornedra, the only magic that supported her for now was my ring, so she had to eat and sleep. Last night, I heard her grumble about how stupid it was that humans made themselves unconscious just by closing their eyes for a long time. I also heard her complain about how fast it was that mortals would need to refuel themselves with dead organisms. Even more, she did not like the way Earth-food tasted, so that was when I suggested on bringing the servants from Mornedra to serve her. Of course they came immediately to the queen's service…

"What is this?!" Seto asked us.

"I'm sorry…" Devi apologized.

"How dare you come and take over my mansion!"

"I said I was sorry…"

"I will not allow this on my property!"

"Whoa, wait a second!" I took over Liana's body.

"Half of this is ours!" I grinned, remembering my studies in Mornedra about modern Earth.

"I forgot about that… Stupid marriage vows…" Seto muttered.

It wasn't as if I was happy to be married to Seto! After all, I was Yami's wife, not his… But I had no choice right now, besides, I had already told Devi that I would stay with her to provide support of a suitable amount of magic. So did this mean I was more powerful than my creator? That's a pretty strange–and scary–fact to know since all this time Devi had protected me from any danger…and now I had to carry that burden for her. Before, I only had to take care of myself, since Devi didn't need anyone to watch her, but now, I couldn't do all the things I wanted to do… I had been planning to meet with Yami for some time, but now I realize that I must protect my protector. She didn't want me to…but Devi doesn't have any emotions, so what am I supposed to do? All she does is copy my personality…nothing more.

Mokuba was a much more outgoing boy than his aloof brother. He was actually happy to see some magic in the house and seemed pretty excited that he could eat some foreign food. Mornedraian food does not look strange at all…except for the fact that it doesn't look like food…just a white blob on a plate. Although you couldn't see the texture, the moment a person bites into it, the taste of the food he or she is thinking of will be sampled. If the person isn't thinking of any specific food, it will just be tasteless, like eating melted ice…also known as water, but no one can eat water…just drink (no matter how hard they chew)!

Devi had informed Mokuba of me, so I had told Mokuba about the Mornedraian food already, but I wanted to see what would happen once Seto tried it. It was hilarious! Mokuba praised the food greatly when he tasted the flavor of hamburgers as Seto spit out the food in disgust when I found he was thinking of something…not as edible…

"What is this?!" He gagged.

"What did you think it was?" Devi asked.

"Vomit."

"Then that's what you get."

"What is this, some kind of joke?"

"No, you taste what you want."

"Mokuba, did you know this?!"

"Yeah, Aria told me!" Mokuba smiled at me. I watched him suppress some giggles.

"Why wasn't I informed of this?"

"You should've asked!" I muffled my laughter.

"This is disgusting!"

"Just think happy thoughts!" I replied through Liana's mouth for a second.

If I were to pinpoint the moment Seto had somewhat hated me, this would be the moment because Mornedraian food has a lasting taste for quite a while. This was conjured for the delicacies one would enjoy, but also for punishments for criminals in prison. Don't ask me how they do that, but there are some people who have the power to make others have distinct thoughts of various subjects, including not-so-good food.

After Mokuba had told Seto of the method to consume this food, he enjoyed it as well, but of course he didn't admit it. When an hour had passed with the interrogations for the Mornedraian servants, Seto left to go somewhere… Mokuba just stayed in his room.

Two hours later, I found Seto's limousine pull up in the driveway. Interestingly enough, he had brought his suitcase to wherever he had gone.

"You're going to Egypt." He ordered us once he opened the door.

"There's no need for me to go…" Devi said timidly.

"Wait…Egypt?!" I regained control.

"Yes, I have a jet that will take us there immediately."

"Why do you want to go to Egypt?" I asked suspiciously.

"You, Queen Anat, are the former ruler of Egypt, and there are some ruins that I want you to translate."

"Can't you ask someone else to do it…like an archaeologist?"

"If I were to find a Japanese person who did not speak English very well, but I did find an American, would I ask the Japanese person to translate the Declaration of Independence?"

"Yeah, considering your IQ…" I trailed off with a smirk.

At that moment, Mokuba came downstairs, he probably heard Seto's booming voice on the second floor.

"Hey, Mokuba, do you want to go to Egypt?" Seto asked him.

"Sure! When can we go?" He answered.

"Now."

"Can Devi and Aria come?"

"Yes."

"All right! Hey, I didn't know Yu-Gi and everyone else were coming too!"

"They're not…"

"Then why are they coming to our house?"

"They are?!"

I looked out, and the group of teenagers were trudging up the long walkway…including that sickening girl…Tori! Seto stormed out of the house and confronted them. I quickly stood next to the door to see what was going on.

"What are you doing on my property?" Seto started.

"We heard you were going to Egypt…"

"And what's it to you?"

"Someone invited us here!"

"Who?"

"I don't know…some girl…"

Seto looked over at me. I waved back with a grin. I could tell on Seto's face that he had an expression of bewilderment. I winked at Mokuba.

"If they're not going, we're not going!" I yelled.

"They're not going!" Seto responded quickly.

"Looks like you're going to have to find that Japanese person…"

"Fine then." He grumbled.

Everybody entered the Kaiba mansion. Many were in awe of its size. I rolled my eyes. They're pathetic, too. I said. That's what you say about everybody. Devi replied. Because it's true.

"Aren't you Devi?" Joey asked.

"Er…yes." I forced Devi into control.

"Hi, Devi!" Yu-Gi greeted.

"Uh…hi."

"Devi, this is Tèa Gardner." Yu-Gi pointed to a brown-haired girl.

"Hi, Tèa, I'm Devi." Inside my mind room, I was shaking my head with the repetitive greetings.

"Hi, Devi." Tèa answered. Okay, is it me, or is her voice just plain annoying?

"This is Ryou Bakura." Yu-Gi pointed out a white-haired boy.

"Hi, Bakura, I'm Devi." She said.

"Hi, Devi."

"Oh yeah, and this is Tristan Taylor." Yu-Gi pointed to a pointy, brown-haired boy.

"Hi, Tristan, I'm Devi." She repeated.

"Hey, Devi." He answered. They are definitely wearing out her name.

"And you already know me, Yu-Gi Moto, and him, Joey Wheeler, right?"

"Yeah…from that dance…"

How did you manage to get them here? Devi asked when she was finally through with the introductions. I signaled for one of the servants to get them… You know, the one that can disguise his voice. But I didn't tell him to get Tori… I answered. Why did you invite them? She asked me. Because Seto doesn't seem to like them that much! I answered while laughing.

"Well…?" I asked after taking control of the body once again.

"Let's get a move on!" Mokuba hurried.

"The jet is outside." Seto mumbled.

All of us moved to the "jet." How was that going to make us get to Egypt? Suddenly, after a man told us to buckle out seat belts, the "jet" started to move… We were flying! Was this the same kind of magic that caused the mortals to create that elevator? When I was wondering about this, I felt Devi smile. Aria? Earth has advanced greatly since your leave. You should have paid attention to those lessons on modern times… She thought. But they were so boring! I muttered. Still…

We finally arrived at the place in about ten hours. It all seemed familiar, but I couldn't pinpoint where it was exactly, so I just followed Seto… We came upon a man who gestured to us to follow him. We did, and he led us to a couple of ancient pyramids. Yu-Gi started to fidget uncomfortably, as did Tori. I saw my ring glow brightly, but I shoved my hands into my pockets. Before we could actually get close enough, the man disappeared with a bright light.

"Annoying magic." I heard Seto mumble.

We entered the pyramid dubiously. The moment Yu-Gi stepped inside, his millennium item suddenly glowed and Yami appeared. I kept quiet, even in his presence, but he seemed to sense me near him. Well, he approached a wall that had some inscriptions on it. Somehow, he was able to read the writing instantly. Just then, the spirits concealed in the millennium items came out, including me. Everyone was surprised at the separations, but they were mostly astonished when they watched Devi and Tori duplicate.

"You have a millennium item?" Yu-Gi asked.

"Yes…" Tori answered.

"Who are you?!" Yu-Gi's spirit asked me suspiciously.

"The same thing as you!" I snapped.

This was bad, really bad. Now the job to protect Devi had become extremely difficult. I know that it seems that we could perform a spell to bind us together again, but Egyptian magic is Mornedraian magic, therefore, you can't reverse it. This definitely was bad. Devi had been dependent on me ever since her loss of magic. I glared at Yami. Yes, I had married him, but that was then and this is now. And now, my duty is to defend her, and it was all of his fault! He put her life in danger…twice! But the duplications weren't over yet. I watched Tori and Bakura each gain a twin, too. I knew quite well that they would not be able to remember their pasts clearly, and I had no intention of refreshing their memories. Instead, I acted on my anger.

"Look what you've done!" I yelled

"What?" Yami asked.

"You've parted our souls! This is terrible!"

"This is a good thing."

"No it's not! Devi now has no protection!"

"Is she not the queen of Mornedra?"

"What is that supposed to imply? She had lost all of her power trying to save some pathetic mortals!"

"Devi seems too much of a passive character isn't she?"

I growled at Yami.

"Go away!" I yelled at him.

And in all of my rage, I tapped into that small bit of power that I had gained from being in the same body as Devi for so long. Before I knew it, I teleported both Devi and I from the pyramid. We were back at the Kaiba residence.

"Very good, Aria!" Devi congratulated me.

"He shouldn't have done that." I muttered.

"That's okay, Aria. At least now, you can go visit Yami!" She said optimistically.

"No, I will not."

"Why not?"

"You're vulnerable… Besides, didn't Clef say that magic was a part of you?"

"Yes…"

"So you should be able to have at least a small amount of magic."

"I'm still alive?"

"No, something more…"

"We'll figure it out sooner or later. For now, I need to sit down. Flying is not the best way for me to travel."

That was pretty ironic considering that teleporting seemed much more uncomfortable than flying.

"Aria, what millennium item do you think that Tori has?" Devi asked suddenly.

"I don't know, but she did duplicate with us, so it must be some important one…"

"Whatever she has, you have the same power too, right?"

"Yup."

"Okay. Just to make sure she won't be able to annihilate us if she wanted to."

"I just don't want to be weaker than a snob."

"Aria, although I have tried to imitate your emotions, I still can't understand this reaction to Tori. Why don't you like her?"

"Devi, you're too naïve, even if you are the renowned innocent queen of the Mornedra. Everybody can clearly see that she is trying to show off for Seto Kaiba."

"I don't really care about that."

"You don't care about anything, but it's truly demeaning to have someone take your husband away from you."

"Oh. But if Seto Kaiba wanted to be married to Tori, I would let him. It was Liana's uncle who wanted a guardian for her, but now, she's…gone…"

"Trust me, you wouldn't like Tori if you had the ability to."

"If you say so…"

Did I mention that technology is a very interesting thing on earth? There was a huge box in this room made of some material unknown to me, but when you pressed a button, an image would appear on the so-called "screen!" This would provide entertainment for all of the viewers. Also, I watched Mokuba take a long wire, connected to a different box, and plug it into a hole in this box. Then, he had taken another wire, which was also connected to the same box, and plugged that one into the wall. With this arrangement, he could use a controller that would move the character on the screen to whatever he willed. He continually called it a "T. V." Later, Devi informed me that the full name was "television" (of course, she scolded me again for not keeping up with modern times). Well, right now, she used a much smaller, different box…more in a shape of a prism with many more buttons on it, and she pressed the one at the top. WOW! It was pure magic! The screen turned on once again, without even making contact!

"How did you do that?" I asked in amazement.

Devi looked at me oddly.

"Don't you know? This is called a 'remote control!'"

"Remote control?" I repeated.

"Yes, there's a signal that comes from this."

She pointed to the top of the "remote control."

"And it goes to the television set."

She pointed to the small, black spot at the bottom.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Aria, you have to start paying a lot of attention to the current events tutor in Mornedra, or you'll destroy something sooner or later…"

Well, after watching several hours of a show that I didn't exactly catch the meaning of, I heard a plane overhead. Minutes later, the group that we had left had returned to the mansion.

"Aria?" Yami asked.

"What do you want?" I shot back.

"Aren't we…?"

"Who cares? I don't!"

"But…"

"Didn't I tell you to go away?!"

I grabbed Devi's hand and stormed out of the mansion.

Attara: And that's the end of that chapter!

Aria: Don't forget to review!
