Chapter 3: 3 Days to go.

Disclaimer: Must I again? Fine, fine. Look, I do not own Yugioh, just my own characters.so get over it.

The sun was bright and the city of Domino was basking in the sun's first light. Buildings seemed to look like gems from far away, a city of semi-precious stones and steel. This was the view one person had from standing just on the outskirts of the city. Ebony black hair swept over his bright blue eyes as the boy slipped his hands into the pockets of his grey trench coat. Around the boy's neck was the Millennium Necklace or Taulk, as it is sometimes known.

He stood outside a small temple that was decorated in Egyptian hieroglyphics and symbols and painted with a gold glaze over pinewood. This was perhaps the only Egyptian temple in all of Japan.

"Kaiba will be coming for the box soon, I expect that everything is ready Brood-chan?" The boy asked a person at his side. The girl had long blonde hair and emerald green eyes that sparkled in the sun's light. She wore a black tank top and a pair of loose tan cargo pants. In her hands was a long staff with an aunk at the end of it, the symbol of life. This girl was Brood Mayran.

"Of course Maruko.I am the Pharaoh's protector am I not? I have been waiting for this day nearly all my mortal life. Just think, three days and then we can go back to Egypt and finish this once and for all." Brood said to the boy, Maruko Matsumi. He turned to her and smiled as he ran a hand through his short black hair and nodded.

"Yes, I know that.but I can foresee some troubles ahead of us, for Yugami and her friends." Maruko commented and his smile dropped. Brood watched him and shook her head.

"Maruko.don't worry. I'll be with her and the Pharaoh the whole time, and so will you, right?" Brood asked and looked to him. Maruko shook his head.

"I am not sure. When I get the visions of the future, I can only see so far. In one of my visions.I saw something terrible.the fate of this world should we all fail in stopping HIM." Maruko started and looked to her. " I can only see up to where I do something.I forget what happened, but I might not be there for the entire journey."

"Don't say that Maruko.you will be with us the entire trip, you promised, I mean you care for Yugami right? So then." Brood started and looked at the millennium item holder and he shook his head.

" Brood.please. I know how I feel for her; I do not need you to tell me that. I have known her all her life. I knew when she would leave us in Egypt and I knew when we needed to leave to be here for the Pharaoh's second awakening. I know she misses me and all of us; You, Joshua, Truu, Kayo. Her body might be getting better and better, but her heart is breaking." Maruko said and turned away from her. Brood shook her head and set her staff aside and moved behind the boy and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, resting her head at his right shoulder.

" I know, I can feel it. But we have to wait. I know how badly you want to go see her Maruko, believe me, I want to as well, but we have to wait.if only for 3 more days, then so be it. Imagine what she would think if she saw us here now.she would question why we were here and why we didn't tell her we were coming. Knowing how you are around her, you could never tell her a lie and well I am sure as happy as she would be seeing us, she would be even more shocked by our real reasons for being here." Brood commented and shut her eyes. Maruko sighed softly and nodded a bit. In his heart he knew she was right.

A small breeze blew over the two of them and Maruko shut his eyes as well letting the wind hit him and Brood as they stood there, knowing that things would not stay this calm for long.after all in three day's time, things would change.

The school bell rang at Domino High School and students began to file out of the schools double doored entrance. Yugami Motto sighed softly as she pulled her shoes on and slipped off her school shoes. The sky had already gone to a light grey color, it appeared that a storm was coming in. Taking up her bag and slinging it over her shoulder she headed out the double doors and outside.

Her violet eyes dropped to the ground as she sighed softly. 'It's just like every other day.nothing too special, I walk home alone, do my homework and wait for Kaiba to come over and we have dinner.that is if she can get off work. If not, I have some ramen noodles and a few instant dinners left, so why should it bother me.' Yugami thought to herself as she reached the gate of the school only to be stopped by a hand on her shoulder.

She turned around and looked at the person who had stopped her. "You know, that is not the Yugami Motto I know.she was always smiling and happy, at least to see me she was." The person's voice was calm and smooth Yugami recognized it. Her eyes stared up at the person, tears nearly filling her eyes.

"K-Kayo! Kayo Isthar!?" She asked almost in unbelief. Before her stood a boy about an inch or two taller then her with tan skin that was kissed by the Egyptian sun. He had pale icy lilac eyes and dishwater blonde hair with platinum highlights. He wore a pair of blood red cargo pants that had so many various pockets and chains, it was hard to see where one ended and another chain began. He also had on a black tank top and a wine red longsleeve mesh top over that. Around his neck was a silver metal band and two more just like that one were at his wrists. The boy, Kayo, nodded and smiled brightly at her. "Of course.I mean last time I checked I am Kayo Isthar, that is unless you know me by any other name." Kayo said with a wink, and without warning the smaller violet haired girl wrapped her arms around his waist and her face fell against his chest. He blinked for a moment before placing a hand to her back and leaned down, resting his head on top of hers.

"The..the only other name I know you by is Azreal.my dark angel." Yugami said softly and Kayo nodded, his eyes slipping shut for a moment or so.

"I had hoped you hadn't forgotten me, I miss you so much, I had to come and see you, Egypt is just not the same since you left 'Gami." He said and pulled her closer. She smiled and pulled back, slipping her hands inside his as she nodded.

"Are you here alone? I mean did anyone else from Cairo come with you?" Yugami asked as she stared at her best friend. Kayo shrugged and sighed a bit.

"Yes, a few did, but I lost track of them.Joshua Bakura is here.along with Truu Fan and Brood and Maruko.but I can't seem to find them right now. I just got a taxi and found this school, I remember the name of the school from the e-mails you have written me. So I figured to grant you an early birthday present and show up." Kayo said and grinned a bit before slowly letting go of Yugami's hands and ran a hand through his hair. Yugami smiled and nodded a bit.

"Wow.you all came from Egypt just to see me? I didn't know I was missed that much." Yugami teased the taller Egyptian and grabbed his arm. "Come on.let's get out of here, there is so much I need to tell you about and show you." And with that the two walked down the street and away from the high school as the sun began to set in the background.
