Back to the World (aka Second Chance)

CHAPTER THREE-THE PHARAOH HAS RETURNED

Yami had just been released from the puzzle and was very surprised with

his new surroundings, 'Domino' as Yugi called it was very different from

Egypt. Yugi had been very confused with the yami-hikari business,

Yami had to patiently go over the same information over and over like a

broken record. After a long and very stressful lesson about Egypt (Yugi

called it a lecture), Yugi eager to take Yami on a tour of Domino City begged

Yami to let them learn each others personalities by taking a nice walk in the city.

Yami had reluctantly agreed (A/N: Good thing too, I would have died of

boredom!).

As Yugi took Yami around town people often gave the two boys peculiar

looks. "Umm, Yugi, why are those mortals giving us such a weird stare?"

Yami was clearly oblivious to that in the modern world people didn't have their

past lives walking around with them like nothing's out of the ordinary. "Uh, no

reason!" Yugi replied hesitantly. 'How am I supposed to tell anyone about this

Yami character?' Yugi wondered nervously, it would be hard to keep this a

secret, especially if he was walking around with him!

Yugi finally took Yami to his school. "See Yami? This is called a 'school',

it's a giant learning company AND the best place to hang around with your

friends!" Yugi said with much vigor. Yami raised an eyebrow "school? Friends?

What are those?" Yugi was speechless. "Hey Yugi!" A blond boy was yelling at

the top of his lungs, beside him was an exceptionally nervous dark haired boy

who was trying to shush him up and an equally nervous albino boy with

chocolate eyes. 'Bakura.' Yami thought with a clouded expression on his face.

"Yami? You in there? Let's go introduce you to Jounochi, Honda, and Ryou!"

Yugi said cheerfully. "Okay." Yami said with an uneasy feeling in his stomach, if

that was the tomb robber they could all be in grave danger. Yami looked

uneasily at Yugi as the smaller one dragged him over to the hyper active

Jounochi and his two accomplices. "Hiya Yug'! " Jounochi bellowed in an

extremely loud voice. His obnoxious eyes where honey colored and reminded

Yami of someone; it was someone important, but remembering was painful.

Honda was a tall fellow with an unusually tall hair-do. Ryou was the character

that struck Yami with the hardest surprise. He was a good-hearted person with

soft understanding eyes. Quite unlike the tomb robber's. "So, Yugi. Who's the

new guy?" Honda asked eyeing Yami suspiciously. "Yeah, and would you mind

explaining why he looks errrrr..." Ryou's voice trailed away as he looked at Yami

as if remembering something that he'd known. "Umm. Yeah about that, you

see." Yugi began, but he was cut off by an annoying high pitched squeal; "Hi

everybody!" Yugi gulped and turned around to see Anzu running towards them

with a happy look on her face.

"Hello Anzu!" Yugi called out as the dark haired girl came running. "Hey

guys, I heard there's a bunch of new students coming today!" Anzu exclaimed

not paying much attention to Yugi. "Neat!" Said Honda, Yami looked at Yugi and

asked; "Errrrr, what are 'students'?" Yugi sighed and whispered to Yami; "I'll

explain later".

Yugi went to the attendance office and enrolled Yami for his classes. Yami

was rather disgusted, but agreed. "Hello class!" Nakamura-sensei called to the

children. "Good morning Nakamura-Sensei." The class replied with out much

vigor. Nakamura-sensei looked at her class and announced; "today we have

several new students, please make them feel welcome and comfortable in our

school!" The children were listening now. Three people walked in the classroom,

Yami and two other people that Yugi had never seen before. There were the two
boys (Yami included), and a girl who was almost Yugi's height. "This is Ishtar

Marik, Rakuen Yukai, and uh. Ou Yami." Nakamura-sensei said stumbling on

Yami's name. "Hey! The new kid looks like Yugi-san!" Anzu shouted, finally

noticing the uncanny resemblance. The students heard Anzu's loud voice and

instinctively looked up at the front of the classroom and then back at Yugi. 'Oh

no.' Yugi thought as he slumped in his seat. Yami looked at Yugi

sympathetically. 'Poor boy, the children must not be familiar with their darker

sides.' The girl named Yukai smirked as she looked at 'little Yugi'. 'He will

adjust.' a voice inside her head said in a quiet voice.

"Ahem. Why don't you each tell us something about yourselves?"

Nakamura-sensei suggested breaking the uncomfortable silence. The boy

named Marik nodded and stepped forward. He had dark lavender eyes, tanned

skin, and blond hair. "I'm Marik Ishtar, I'm from Egypt. I enjoy anything that has to

do with astral-projection or ancient Egypt." He gave the class a sinister look, as if

to say; 'don't mess with me'. Marik smirked at Yami as he approached an empty

desk; everyone inched out of his way. "Thank you Marik, why don't you say

something Yukai?" Nakamura-sensei said. Yukai had black hair with golden

bangs that where in danger of engulfing her emerald eyes, and ruby red heart

shaped buns. Yami could have sworn her presence was familiar as he watched

her walk up to the front and began to speak in a cheery musical voice. "My name

is Yukai, I am very interested in destiny and enjoy reading manga." She paused;

"I'm also deeply absorbed in-" She gave a noticeable glance at Yami. "The

pharaohs of Egypt." She silently crept to her seat like a shadow, and when her

emerald eyes where hidden by a mass of golden bangs she muttered; "So,

they've all come to the same area." She mused as she fingered a charm that was

in an oval shape that was hanging on a thin chain. It glowed as she whispered;

"The pharaoh has returned." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
