@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami walked down the street next to Anzu. Anzu arched an eyebrow and noticed the two small pendants that she had given Yami for Christmas on a thin gold chain around his neck.
Yami noticed her looking at him out of the corner of his eye and smiled (just a little bit, this is Yami after all).
"I told you that I liked them, Anzu."
Anzu blushed and looked down as she walked along side of him.
"I'd like to go to the library first, if that's alright, Anzu.," he began, "I'd like to research the pendants that you gave me."
She looked up at him at first puzzled. "Well, they are Egyptian, perhaps they may help you to remember something more."
"Hai, Anzu, that's what I'm hoping for."
"I hope that you know how much I want to help you, Yami."
He looked at her out of the corner of his eye once more. "Hai, Anzu. You're friendship means a great deal to me."
Anzu couldn't help but sigh; she was glad that he valued her as a friend, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel a little hurt. "....Thanks....," she sighed and continued to walk along side of him. 'It's not like it's a big deal or anything. Why am I suddenly feeling so down all of a sudden?'
Yami would have noticed Anzu's newly found depression if something hadn't caught his attention, out of the corner of his eye. The Eye of Horus appeared on his forehead for a moment, causing him to stop.
Anzu who had been so deep in her thoughts had continued walking. 'So what if he doesn't like me as anything more than a friend. Wait...where did that come from? ....Do I want him to----'
She stopped short when she looked over to her side to find him no longer there. "Yami?," she asked outloud as she looked all around.
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami had taken off down an alley way after seeing a figure that had caught his eye. The Eye of Horus shown brightly on his forehead now.
"Wait!," he yelled as he climbed the fence in the alley way and leaped down landing on the other side in a crouching position. 'Well, whoever it was they're gone now.' He stood up and sighed. 'Anzu must think I just left her for no reason.'
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Was it something I said?,' wondered Anzu as she walked towards the library. 'He said he wanted to go to the library. I just hope he'll be there. He really does mean a lot to me, and---' She blinked from her thoughts. '...What am I thinking? Yami's my friend and nothing more, not now and not....'
She sighed and continued walking down the street...
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Yami had finally made it back to where he had left Anzu so suddenly, he saw her no where in sight.
'Dammit. I didn't mean to leave her like that. I sensed a presence and then I saw someone.'
He sighed and headed toward the library.
'I have a feeling that she's gone to the library to look for me.'
He took the two Egyptian pendants that were around his neck and clutched them in his left hand.
'I cannot be sure if these pendants have anything to do with my past, but I feel that whatever I do learn from them will be beneficial to find some of the answers to my questions.'
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anzu slowly walked up the steps to the library...
'Even if Yami isn't here maybe I could still do some research of my own to try and help him....I really don't know what could have happened.'
As she opened the door to the library, she sweatdropped hearing two familiar voices, and the voice of the librarian. She peeked around the corner to find Jou and Honda sitting at a table with books covering most of the table top, and the librarian trying to keep them quiet.
'...What a bunch of bakas...' She sighed and walked up to them...
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami walked into the library and looked around. He was interested to know if Anzu was there already and he wished to apologize to her. Just as he was about to go into the study room he was snagged by the librarian.
"May I help you sir?," she asked.
"Hai, I am looking for...," Yami began and then sweatdropped. '...The hell is she doing?'
The librarian was giving Yami the once over.
"...For a book on Egyptian symbols and their meanings." He continued to sweatdrop as the woman walked around him with a finger up to her chin.
"A book on Egyptian symbols...hai, I do believe we have a whole section in our library dedicated to the Ancient Egyptian culture."
"...Great...um...miss?" Yami started turning around trying to keep the librarian in his sight. "...Would you please show me where the section is?"
"...Of course.," she replied with a wink. "You're so polite, no one is ever polite anymore."
Yami kept right on sweatdropping and followed the librarian to the section of the library that held the information that he needed.
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anzu was busy trying to help Jou and Honda with their research papers. Neither knew how to use a card catalogue, or had even heard of a lovely thing called the "index", which could be found at the back of the book, a novel concept.
"I've got better things to do with my time then write a paper about some dead guy for history class."
"Guy?! Joan of Arc was NOT a guy, Jou." Anzu sighed and shook her head. '....Hopeless....'
"Even I knew that.," Honda chimmed in, "I've got to research Nepolian."
Anzu looked around her at the mess of papers, books, snacks that Jou and Honda had snuck in, and other assorted things that had been sucked into the disaster area.
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami took off the gold chain (that held the pendants), from around his neck. He opened a book that had been translated and started searching for the symbols that matched his pendants.
The librarian looked on in curiousity. She couldn't understand what could have sparked his facination for Ancient Egypt. "Kids today," she started, "they always surprise you."
Yami was too intent on finding the meaning to the pendants that he completely blocked the woman out. 'No...not this one either. They have to be here somewhere.'
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, Anzu, you never told us why you were here. Do you have a research project to do for the old bat as well?," asked Jou.
Anzu had completely forgotten why she had come to the library in the first place; that was until Jou had asked her.
"That's right. I came to help, Yami."
"Is Yami alright, Anzu?," questioned Honda.
"Is he in some sort of trouble or something? Because no one messed with one of my pals."
"...No, it's nothing like that, you guys. Yami doesn't know much about his past, so we were going to come here together and research the pendants I gave him for Christmas. He thinks that they might somehow be linked to his past, their meaning anyways."
"OOOOOOOO," came two obviously confused replies.
"You know that's really gotta suck. Yami's done so much for all of us and there isn't really anything we can do for him."
Anzu sighed, looking down at her hands which were now in her lap.
"Thank you, Captain Obvious," stated Honda, "...or maybe oblivious fits you better. Cheer up, Anzu, I'm sure everything will be fine. Hey, wait a minute, didn't you say you were going to come to the library with Yami?"
"...Hai, I was..."
"Where is he?," asked Jou, looking around.
"I don't know. One minute he was with me, the next he was gone. IT was like he just disappeared."
". . . . . . ." Jou and Honda both sweatdropped.
"Yami doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would just run out on you."
"Jou's right, Anzu. Something much have come up, and it must have been pretty quick."
"...I just wish I knew what it was."
"Well, we'll help you find some information, won't we Honda?"
"Sure we will; Yami's our friend too."
"Arigato...oh...and guys?"
"Yes?," both replied waiting for her question.
"What's this I hear about Santa's little "helpers"?"
". . . . . . . . ."
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami continued searching until he found both of the symbols in the book.
'....So this is what they are?' He arched an eye brow looking down at the pendants and comparing them to the pictures in the book. "Excuse me, miss, but you please find me a book that would contain information about these two symbols?"
The librarian gave him the once over again, and then took the book from his hand and went off to find more information.
Yami continued to sit on the floor when a certain book caught his attention. He took the book from the shelf and read its title out loud. "...Bel..Um...Fal..." '...Why does it feel like I should know about this book?'
He opened the book to find it all in heiroglyphs. He ran his fingers along the ancient writing and pictures that were on one of the pages. '....This symbol represents Egypt itself...and this one...the pharaoh....the bird represents the people and how they adore the pharaoh...' He blinked. '....How did I?....'
The librarian came back and set down a few books in front of him with book marked pages. She smiled. "I wouldn't be too surprised, young man, no one can understand that book. I'll put it back on the shelf for you and you can look over some of the books that I found."
"...No...wait...I'd like to continue reading it...."
The librarian blinked. "Reading it???? You can honestly tell me that you understand it????" She laughed quite amuzed. "...Oh, that was a good one, but if you want to look through it be my guest." With that she walked off leaving Yami to his reading.
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"....So you're telling me that you used,Yami?"
"Used is such a harsh word, Anzu."
"...Jou's right we just stretched the truth a little..."
"...God you should have seen him, Anzu! We were like....DUCK...and he was like....WHERE?...and we were like INCOMING...and he was like KA-SPLAT! And it was SO sweet!"
"..............." Anzu sweatdropped. "....I....see...."
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Eye of Horus shown lightly on his forehead as he sat on the floor with the book in his lap, his back to the rest of the library.
'.....The Egyptian book of the dead....here are all the pharaoh's who ruled Egypt...at one time....'
He flipped the page in the book and continued to read on.
'....Could I be in this book? ....Dammit...I don't even know my real name, how in hell am I supposed to know if any of these pharaoh's could be me?' He sighed at first in defeat and then shook his head. '...I can't give up hope...someday I'll remember who I truly am.'
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anzu, Jou,and Honda stood in the doorway of the room that Yami was in.
"...What's he doing?," whispered Jou.
"...What's it look like he's doing, baka? Reading the book...," replied Honda with a whisper.
"Hey!"
Anzu covered Jou's mouth and sighed. "...Quiet, we don't want to disturb him." '....I wonder if he's been able to find anything yet.' She noticed how Yami's posture gave evidence of frustration. '....I know that all I ever say is how sorry I am for you, Yami, but I don't know what else to say. I want to help you so much, but I don't know how...'
"You think Yami would help us with our projects?"
"....I think he's a little busy right now, Jou."
"...Damn...guess you're right, Honda...back to the drawing board...catch ya later, Anzu."
"....You guys, I thought you were going to HELP..."
"...Well we WOULD but...this project is kind of due....tomorrow..."
"....Why does this NOT surprise me?" Anzu sighed and turned her attention back to Yami. She took a deep breath and slowly started toward him. '...Maybe he doesn't want to see me? Maybe that's why he left in the first place...'
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami continued to read the Egyptian book. As Anzu looked over his shoulder she heard him whisper.
"....And there was a pharaoh....so powerful....that he sacrificed himself to save the world....his name..." He hung his head and sighed heavily. "....unknown for it was never found...."
Anzu stepped back, feeling her heart sink along with Yami's. A tear rolled down her cheek.
Yami heard something and turned around to find Anzu drop to her knees and wrap her arms around him.
"Gomen Nasai, Yami...gomen nasai..."
Yami was startled at first and then hugged her back, just sitting there with her on the library floor....
