Authoress' notes: Thanks for all those who reviewed. Oh, and I'll double-check the Pharaohs' real name, but thanks for your help!
Chapter 2: Lets Go Shopping!
************************
Resu looked around him as he steadied himself. As many times as he has been transported, he knew that he'd never get used to the feeling. He lent against one of the curved golden walls to regain his balance. But then the wall disappeared and he fell backwards landing hard on his butt.
"Sorry about that. Just some advice, don't lean on the internal transportation walls."
"Thanks for the advanced warning." Resu said sarcastically as he got up rubbing his backside from his fall. He then widened his eyes in shock as he looked around him. He had never seen anything like it before.
"Resu, stay here. And DON'T touch anything!" Aniba said as she walked off down the hall.
Resu nodded then stood up. He walked over to the hall Aniba had disappeared down. Looking at the walls, he gasped in shock as he saw lifelike "paintings". (A/N. In other words photographs.) He walked up to one of them and saw a 17-year-old boy with light brown hair flecked with gold. He was wearing a blue jacket over a red shirt with blue pants (A/N. Domino High's school uniform.), and another boy wearing the same style of clothes except he was wearing a sandy coloured shirt. The boy looked like he was 13 or so with strangely multi-coloured hair, then there was Aniba wearing a long sleeved pink blouse with a blue bow and a short blue skirt. The older boy and Aniba looked like they were laughing at the younger boy. Aniba was on the floor with a big smile on her face; eyes closed in mid-laugh. The younger boy looked slightly angry and annoyed and was trying to get a multi-coloured cylinder can out of the older boy's hands. (A/N [Again!] Multi-colour hair spray. ) Resu looked closer at the picture and rose a hand to touch the image.
"Resu? What are you doing?"
Resu jumped slightly a turned around seeing Aniba there wearing strange blue material over a white sleeveless shirt, and the same blue material as pants. "Oh. Just…looking…"
"That was taken about three weeks ago, by Téa. She's in my class."
"You go to school?" Resu asked surprised. 'I thought that only royalty and the rich could go to school. Even though Aniba is finely dressed… How can this be?'
Aniba looked at Resu. 'How can this be? He's curious… hopefully… everything will work out…' "Come now. We mustn't be late. There are some people who would like to meet you."
"Okay."
Aniba walked to the door, then turned around in surprise. Resu was standing there, as if ready for the ground to fall beneath him, he also had his eyes closed. Aniba's laughter made Resu open his eyes and look up. "Resu, we're not being transported this time. We are walking."
"Oh. I knew that." He said following behind Aniba.
"For someone who rules a country, you can be a bit…"
"Just be quiet."
"Whatever. Hurry now." Aniba said looking back at him, gesturing with her hand for Resu to follow her down the stairs. Resu walked down, running his hand down the rail as he did so, careful to not step on his cloak. "Do you remember the first time you came to my…place?"
"Uh huh."
"Well, remember when you were kind of in the middle of the road?"
"Yeah. I remember. Those commoners have no idea how to keep control over their Kaa's."
Aniba sweat-dropped at that comment. "They aren't Kaa's, they are Cars."
"Why are you repeating yourself? You said they aren't Kaa's, but Kaa's. What's the difference?"
"Nevermind…. Well the point is that we are going to see lots, lots more as soon as we step outside."
Resu froze. "W-What?!"
Aniba stopped at the door, sighing, saying each word slowly and carefully. "As soon as I open this door, you will see high amounts of cars. We will be walking not to far away from them."
Resu grabbed the railing fairly tightly. "I am NOT going outside now."
"Yes you are." Aniba said grabbing the back of his cloak in an attempt to drag him outside.
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"NO." Resu said a little more firmly.
"You are going outside and that's final!" Aniba said giving a quick tug and pulling him out the door. She succeeded… but then he ran back inside. Aniba glared as the door slammed. Slightly annoyed.
//What's the matter Hikari?// Came a voice in Aniba's head.
/Nothing… Just-… Don't worry. It's not important. /
//Fine. If you need me, call okay?//
/Alright, Lynex./ With that Aniba closed the link and opened the door, and walked inside, the door closing behind her.
A passer-byer was out for his daily walk when he heard yelling from behind the door. He listened and all he could hear was, 'You are going' and 'No I'm not' repeated over and over again. Then he heard muttering and then a thud, he put his ear closer to the door then… BANG!
"Freaking hell. You act like a Ra damn child!" Aniba appeared stomping out the door.
Passer-byer: x_x
Aniba was dragging Resu along on the ground behind her by the back of his cloak-collar, muttering darkly while he kept whining. "I don't like those type of Kaa's. I almost got killed by them, remember?!"
"Well anyone would if you ran out onto the road and put your hand up yelling, 'I order all to stop!'. This isn't your Kingdom here, and no one would even care if you are the ruler of the galaxy…!"
Passer-byer: @_@
The man got up, hearing ranting in the distance, slightly wobbly and continued walking down the pathway, still with swirls for eyes and a bit off-balance.
Now a good distance away from the apartment building door, Aniba stopped dragging Resu along and turned around glaring. "Are you going to walk on your own now, or do I have to banish you?!"
"Uh…. No?… I mean. Yes. No. Wait." Resu stopped as he caught Aniba's dark glare. "I'll walk." He said quietly as he got up. Aniba's dark glare disappeared slightly as she walked on, Resu following behind her. "How long does it take till we get there?"
"It's straight up ahead. See that building?" Aniba said pointing. Resu nodded. "Come on. We'll have to cross the road, BUT you'll be safe, if you walk in a certain area of the road, the cars won't 'attack' you." Aniba added quickly as she saw the shocked look on the young Pharaoh's face. Resu followed Aniba looking around the street as he walked then, not looking where he was going, he ran into the back of Aniba.
"Careful. Just wait here like everyone else, when I say go, we cross the road okay?"
"Alright."
Aniba watched the traffic light, and when she saw the little red man changed to green, she said, "Go! And no running. You'll be fine."
As they crossed the road Resu smiled happily, seeing that the Kaa's weren't on the attack anymore. But when he saw one of them inch forward, his smile faltered and he ran quickly to the other side of the road, Aniba trying to keep up with him.
"What was that for?!"
"One of the Kaa's moved."
Aniba sighed. 'This is gonna be one long day…' "Well, we're here!"
"At the 'shops'?"
"Yup." Aniba added smiling and she grabbed Resu's arm and pulled him into the shopping center.
"What in Osiris' name is this place?"
"Domino Shopping Complex. It's the biggest shopping center in this area I know of."
"So what do you do here?"
"You know markets?"
"Mmm." He said nodding.
"Well. Its just like a market, 'cept its inside a building, and there are more 'stalls'. C'mon, this way." Aniba said pointing forward to a nearby escalator, Resu following closely behind. "Hold on to the railings, and step here." Aniba said indication the moving railing and the ever changing bottom step.
"B-But, it keeps moving."
"Just jump on. It will be fine." Aniba said as she stood on the bottom step and began to go up. Resu hesitated, then scrunched his eyes shut, not used to the sensation of being 'lifted up'. "Its fine to open your eyes you know." Aniba said as she tapped Resu on the shoulder, smiling as she joined him near his step. Resu opened one eye, then the other. After gaining confidence in himself (not far from the top) he decided he'd look over the edge. Gripping the railing tightly, he saw all the shops and other customers below, he leaned over a little bit more, when suddenly he was tugged back.
"Woh. Take it easy there. We don't want you falling over the edge." Came a male voice from behind Resu. Aniba however was muttering to herself and wasn't paying any attention. Resu looked behind him and recognized the boy he saw from the 'painting'.
"I've seen you before… though your hair is different..." Resu said looking at him.
A laugh, "I see Aniba's taught you to speak English, that's good. Well, see ya round!" And with that the boy disappeared. Resu shook his head, and then rubbed his eyes, looking at the same spot the boy was in before. He heard someone call his name, but he ignored it.
"Resu? Resu! Hello? You're gonna trip next…"
Still ignoring the voice he tried to focus when… WACK! Resu tripped over something, he was falling face forward when someone grabbed the back of his cloak. Halting his fall.
"You okay? I called you like five times and you were off day dreaming." It was Aniba.
"Really? I'm fine. Sorry about that…" Resu said snapping back into reality.
"You sure?"
"Yes."
"Okay. Now lets go, we have to get you some suitable clothes." Aniba said pushing him from behind into a clothing store.
"Gods!" Was Resu response when he saw every kind of fabric imaginable all paced into one place.
"Well? What do you want to get? You're a Pharaoh after all. My treat..." 'Hope he doesn't blow my money!' Aniba silently pleaded.
"Uh. I'll have a look round first if you don't mind."
"No, not at all. That's why we got here early anyway, you'll have more time to choose something out. Follow me, I'll show you the clothes for guys, you don't want to be dressing up as a girl now do ya?" Aniba said winking.
Resu blushed. "Guess not…" He murmured.

A/N's
Millie: Sorry. I had to cut it short there, otherwise this would end up being over three pages long…. Anyway…Hello everyone! I decided to bring my muses in today, seeing as I'm in a good mood. Alright, we have Aniba and Lynex-
Aniba: Lynex isn't coming.
Millie: Why not?
Other person: Cause she doesn't like you.
Aniba: No. She was busy.
Millie: (Glaring at other person) Shut up Nympthsis. Well seeing as we don't have Lynex here… we got-
Nympthsis: *Is sugar high* Me! Anywayz… I was reading the first chapter… just a quick question, what's wrong with evil growing?
Millie and Aniba: -_-'
Millie: Why did you have to come along?
Nympthsis: To… read the fanfic and compliment it?
Aniba: *Cough*liar*Cough*
Millie: *sigh* Ah wells. Ignore them, and review! Oh.. and before I forget, does anyone know the names of the original Millennium item holders? I know Akunamukanon had the puzzle before Yami, but I need to know who had the Scales, Ankh (Key), Ring, Tauk (Necklace), and any other items before Karimu, Shada, Mahado, Isis and so on… I need it for my fanfic! I'm writing the very beginning of this fanfic (and I mean waay back), so I need those who served while Akunamukanon was still ruling, and not Yami…
Notes:
[These notes will help out with the next few chapters]
Heq: Egyptian [Kemetic] word for Ruler. The name has importance, but I won't explain it now as I may spoil the fanfic.
Pasenture: Past Present Future Just take out one 's' and one 't', and there you have it, Pasenture! And, just a note, he's one year and a half older than Aniba but because of …[A/N Not telling!] he looks younger than what he really is.
Lynex: Don't ask. You'll find out more about her later.
And for those who were wondering 'What's the deal with the 2 '~'; well, anything in between those, (eg. "~ This is an example. ~"), Is when they are speaking Ancient Egyptian/ Kemetic where English is present.
Please Read and Review! R&R
