nyc-pwyncess: I'm back!! Don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, on with the ficcie-goodness!!

~*~

The group are all inside now, sitting in the living room, crezating a circle around Amethyst who is sitting in the center of a couch, with Bakura on her left and Yami on her right.

bakura:*glaring at amethyst*Now, tell us how you know about the Millenium Items.

amethyst:*smiles weakly*Ummm...What about the people at the storefront?? How about I watch it for a bit, and tell you later??

She makes a motion to get up, but Yami's and Bakura's arms dart out, grab each of her arms, and pull her back into the seat.

amethyst:*looking down*Guess not...

yugi: C'mon Amethyst, just tell us how you know of the Items and the Yami's.

amethyst: Well, remember that ring I told you about, the one my Mother left with the doctor before she died?? That's how I know.

joey: And??

bakura:*looking like he's about to burst*And how did this help you?!

amethyst:*glaring back at bakura*I could show you, but I have to stand up, dumba**!!

bakura:*shouting now*Why in the seven hells should I trust you?!

amethyst:*yelling right back*And why the hell shouldn't you?!

bakura:*still shouting*You want the f***in' list?!

Without realizing it, the two had stood up during the argument, Bakura with his arms crossed, and Amethyst with her fists clenched on her hips. Bakura is looking down, considering the height difference, as Amethyst still manages to look menacing enough looking up at him. Just before Amethyst could yell back, Ryou spoke up.

ryou: Eh...Excuse me??

amethyst & bakura: WHAT?!

ryou: You're already standing, why not let Amethyst explain further??

yami: Then you can go back to your yelling match.

bakura:*glare x 10*Fine, but get a damned move on.

amethyst:*a bit calmer than before*Well, the orphanage gave me the ring on my tenth birthday. I had been researching Ancient Egypt, since I had recently learned that it was my parents line of archaeology, and was surprised when I found minute hieroglyphs around the outside of the ring.

I looked at the hieroglyphs under magnification, and worked translating them. Whenever I wasn't doing schoolwork, I was working on translating the hieroglyphs. They turned out to be a mini-recollection of the past of Duel Monsters. It spoke of the rules of the game, and the beginning of it. It told of how it was played, and some rules, and then began speaking of how it was used for bad.

Then it went into the ending of the final tournament, but the last quarter of the ring had been rubbed out with age. Luckily though, it told of some places where tournaments were held. I connected an old family friend who was usually in Egypt, and they got a team to go to some of the places.

They found artifacts that were groundbreaking, but I asked for him not to tell that it was me who told him of the places. As gratitude though, he visited New York for a day, and gave me an artifact he had found. It was a dagger, and I've kept it since.

I put two and two together, when I saw Yugi dueling, and Ryou as well, how they both wore things that my ring had described as Millennium Items and how they tended to change appearance in the middle of a duel that had high stakes. And then the way Pegasus hid his eye, led me to believe he had the one called the Millennium Eye.

joey: So, ya figured all this??

amethyst: Yes, and I'm sorry for keeping it a secret from you all, except Bakura.

But before Bakura could say anything, Yami had stood up with a never-before-seen quizzical look on his face.

yami: But where is the ring now?? Would I be able to see it??

amethyst: Oh yeah, sure!! I keep the ring with me at all times, just in case anyone tried to come after it.

yugi: But where do you keep it then?? You don't have rings on your fingers.

amethyst: Oh no, I never wear it on my finger, just in case it slipped off without my noticing. I got myself pierced.

tristan: Oh, so it's now an earring??

Amethyst then pushed back her hair so that her ears were visible. The right one had three earrings where they usually are and one at the very top of the ear. Her left one was the same, but only had the three on the bottom. They were all plain silver studs, no gold.

amethyst: No gold here, I prefer to keep the ring not to in the open. Nope, instead I keep it here.*lifts up shirt, to just below her belly button when joey called out*

joey: Ya got pierced there?!*points to his chest*

amethyst: NO!! Get your mind outta the gutter!! It's called a belly ring!!

And sure enough, she did have a belly ring, and it was pure gold that glistened in the light. She undid the clasp, removed it, and handed it to Yami.

amethyst: Like I said this section*points*has been rubbed out through time. And if the "Egyptian Inquisition" is through with the 'interrogation', I am going to take a shower.

As Amethyst stomped up the stairs towards the said bathroom, Yugi, Tristan, Ryou, and Joey went out to work the store, praying nobody had stolen anything. And Yami went off to another room to study the ring, as Bakura followed him, not wanting the 'pharaoh' to get the upper hand on forgotten memories.
