Deal of the Phantom
Chapter 1- Chance of the Soul
It was a long long ride. A great distance to Egypt... Even if it was by plane...
My stomach felt like an empty pit. My hand tighted on my pants. Alot had changed over three years...
"Yuugi..." Jounouchi started, "Is something wrong?"
I shook my head, "Iie... No, I'm fine..."
I turned my head to look out the window but all I saw was an overly blurred sky.
Jounouchi looked at quite concerned and placed a hand on my shoulder, "Yuugi... I know when something's wrong so tell me"
I shook myself, "No, really Jou I'm fine"
"Lying again" I thought I heard a fimiular voice cox inside my head.
Atemu...
I was trying so hard to keep my tears from puching threw.
"Jou-Jounouchi...?" I cried, hiding my face from his, "Do you think he'd ever come back?"
"The other-Atemu? ...I don't know... I'm... Just not him, Yuugi"
I let the tears stream out of my eyes, "If he doesn't come back... Jou... Promise me to keep me from duelling ever again... Okay?"
"Nani!?" He yelled, "Yuugi! I know you miss him but its not something to almost give up your title for!"
"Hai... But... I don't think I can duel anymore without him... It's been three years, Jou! I've been hiding that fact for three years!"
"Yuugi..." He said, sounding a bit hurt by the same fact himself, "I miss him too... All off us do... Why don't you sleep... It seems like you could use a little..."
I sniffed, "O-okay..."
Shutting my eyes, trying to forget everything I slowly dozed off.
~Yami's POV~
Sleep...
I groaned to myself in my throne. I hadn't got much sleep lately with all the guests lately. I felt extremely restles...
"Pharaoh Atemu?" A priest asked.
"Yes Mahaado?" I asked.
"Is something troubling you?"
"Hai..."
"Beg your pardon?"
"I mean yes! Yes!"
"What is it?" He continued to question, "Not that I should be asking you of you personal-"
"My aibou..."
"Aibou?"
"My hikari, my light, my... other"
"Aibou?" Still confused, "Who or what would that be?"
"Uhh... No one!" I said realizing I said something I should not have, "Yup! No one at all! Just... Uhh... my dead pet cat!"
"I never knew you had a pet cat" Mahaado said still very confused, "My humblest apoligizes"
"Neither did I..." I mumbled quietly with an awkward smile.
His apprentice whispered into his ear, "If you ask me it seems like pharaoh is lying... I think his "other" is something else. Maybe he's in love!"
"Mana!" Mahaado said, trying to act serious as my face burned red.
Blushing, boy was I blushing. I could see my reflection in my bracelet as I tried to hide it from them.
Did I really like my hikari? My... Yuugi?
"Err... I don't feel so good right now" I said, trying to sound a bit perky, "I'll be going to my room! Tell me if anything come up!"
"Uhh... Okay" Mahaado said staring dumbfounded,
~
"Yuugi..." I mumbled staring at the stone roof, "Do I really miss you?"
I can feel you coming... Coming here to Egypt in you own time... Yearning... Yearning to see me at least one more time.
"Yuugi..." I felt tears silently roll, "I miss you... I wish... I could be with you again..."
Staring silently at the ceiling feeling quite tired now I began closing my eyes. But as always... Questions that I never had answers to popped into my head.
'Do I really love Yuugi?' 'Do I just miss him?' 'What ever happened to Bakura? That tomb robber?' 'Is he in the past now too?' 'Is he dead?' 'Is he still trying to gain control of the world?'
All these questions and more plowed into my mind as it began feeling more and more complex. One of the strangest questions was if I should commit 'sepukku'!
"Sepukku... Is that a wise choice?" I whispered to myself, "Yuugi... You'd be able to help me right now..."
"Pharaoh! Thief apon the premises!" A guard shouted.
"Keep him in the same spot! I'll be there to deal with him emedately!"
"Okay!"
I threw on some of my jewelery and ran out to get rid of the outlaw.
"Fimiular..." I thought to myself, "I wonder if this theif is..."
"Bakura!" I shouted coming to a stop just a ways from the hall which I emerged, "What do you what!?"
The infamous Tomb Robber chuckled.
"Pharaoh-sama..." He smirked, "You haven't forgotten either... Hm?"
"Forgotten what!?"
"The future... So much more of a better place then here, ne?"
I stared at the floor ignore his question, "How did you get back here?"
He laughed, "You sure seem clueless! It's simple! I followed you here! And... I'm willing to follow you back"
"What!?" I jolted, "How?"
He grinned and swung his arm towards the Eye of Ra, "Just say the name pharaoh! And I promise you! It will open just like the other eye"
Should I trust him? I really did want to see Yuugi again but... It could be a trap... What if it wasn't though?
"I'll be the first to walk threw the eye pharaoh if you don't believe me! And if anything goes wrong? We'll be stuck... I'll be brought down with you. And you'll be brought down with me"
"Hai..."
He smirked again, "Then let it begin once again! Let the former King of Games return!"
"Pharaoh! What are you-" Mahaado shouted just as the name was spoken.

"Atemu..." I whispered.
