Chapter 10: Let the Learning Begin!

Aniba stared in shock as various deliverers started pouring into the room with just as various take-away's and similar food.

"Put it on the table!" Heq ordered, pointing to the dining room located near the kitchen.

Pasenture just stood there with a large sweat drop on the bag of his head and went to put the cat-carrier down, but immediately scooped it up as it was almost knocked over by the continued procession of deliverers and their food.

"Okay, thanks everyone!" Heq yelled, and ushered them out the door.

Resu looked from Heq and to the now closed door, "Wow. Good service." He commented. "Just like back home." He said, nodding approvingly, now more awake.

"Thanks." He said running his hand through the gentle spikes in his hair. "So? What do you think?" He asked, grinning at the shocked Aniba.

"Heq!" She whined. "You don't have to go to all this trouble!"

"I know. But I love ta anywayz." He said, walking over and giving her a quick hug. "Well…you can be picky if you want! I think I covered pretty much everything."

"Think?" Pasenture asked in disbelief as he set the cat-carrier back down. He eyed the table which was now sagging under the weight of food.

"Well…fine, I didn't!" He protested, pouting.

"What I mean is," Pasenture said rolling his eyes, "is that you're about right to cover everything."

"Oh, in that case, dig in!"

"I'll get some plates." Aniba said, going into the kitchen.

When she came back she had four plates; one bowl and a handful of cutlery all piled upon one another. She set them in the one corner of the table which was not currently covered with food. Heq frowned when he realized that there was no room on the table.

"I guess I did go over board." He said taking several of the take-away containers and putting them on the breakfast bar. "There. More room." He said happily and took a seat.

"Resu, Pasenture?" Aniba asked, gesturing towards the other seats and setting down the plates. "We might as well eat seeing as Heq's gone to all the trouble."

Resu nodded and Pasenture looked and the clock, "A bit early ain't it?"

"Nope!" Heq said laughing as he started piling the food on his plate.

Aniba and the others sat down and too began getting food, Resu and Aniba going slower because he kept asking 'What's that?' and Aniba would have to explain. Once everyone had started eating it was easy to distinguish the different eating habits; Pasenture ate practically everything with an knife and fork, Heq rarely touching his cutlery, Resu eating slowly, holding himself much like a King, and Aniba kept on stabbing her food, glaring at it before putting it in her mouth.

Heq munched on his food in silence, his eyes following her moves, stab, inspect, and eat. "Geez, woman." He said, sighing in exasperation, "No one has poisoned the food! You don't need to inspect it!"

Aniba just stabbed another meatball, looked at it from all angles, before popping it in her mouth, grinning. She knew this was a trademark habit of hers' that could only be blamed on her over-protective Yami. She also knew that it annoyed the hell out of Heq. "Habit." She said, then repeated the same procedure, except with the spaghetti.

Resu ate his food in silence, though upon his features was a very big grin as he consumed the various foods.

"Aniba," Pasenture spoke up after swallowing his food, "Ms. Kitsune gave out another assignment."

"Again?" She whined. "Typical."

"I finished it this morning." Heq stated happily.

"I finished it after school." Pasenture said back in mock-tone, the poked his tongue out before eating another bit of steak.

"Damn. What's the answer to question six?" Heq asked, hopefully.

"I thought you finished it."

"Finishing something, and doing it correctly are two entirely different things."

"Too bad. You're not getting the answer that quickly."

"I'll probably get the assignment tomorrow then." Aniba said in thought.

"Most likely." Heq shrugged.

"Assignment? What's with that?" Resu piped up.

"Oh, has to do with school and work. Just like regular school work, 'cept you have to put more effort in it and its often done at home." Aniba explained as she finished her food.

"Hey! There's still desert!" Heq said, getting up and grabbing the containers on the breakfast table. "I got chocolate mud cake, and um…some weird desert, Bavarian I think."

"Mud cake?" Resu asked in a worried tone, having too finished his food. "Please tell me it's not what I think it is…" He said as mental images of children playing in the mud ran through his head.

"It's not." Aniba assured, a meow was heard then suddenly Mafdet jumped up on Aniba's lap looking at her plate hopefully. "Sorry girl, I've finished. But I saved you some." Aniba said, as she petted her, picked her up and set her on the floor with the bowl from earlier, except this time it had various meats and vegetables. Within seconds, Mafdet was happily eating from the bowl and munching on a bone.

.

After desert was served, Resu had somehow managed to get a hold of the soft drink bottles and was now embracing them with a big grin on his face and a starry look in his eyes…

"Resu, give bac-"

"No."

"Resu…"

"No."

"BY RA! Is that High Priest Set flirting with your arranged bride?!" Aniba suddenly said pointing behind him. Resu immediately fell for the trick and turned, relinquishing his hold on the drinks.

"Where? You mean I get to see my arranged bride? Where is she?" Resu asked, looking around.

"Yoink!" Aniba yelled and grabbed all five bottles of the sugary drink. Resu turned and pouted.

"But we don't have drinks like that in my Kingdom! The sweetest we can get is honey! Honey is nothing compared to the red one!"

"It's called Red Fanta and I think you shouldn't drink it." Aniba said as she stalked off with the drinks and putting them in her fridge.

It was now six o'clock and the young Pharaoh was officially sugar-high singing songs of the Nile, Pasenture had pulled out some homework, materializing it from his own house and was now working on it, and Heq was watching Aniba and Resu's antics in amusement.

" And they rejoice in the name of Ra! " Resu sang in Kemetic whilst jumping up and down on the chair. " They mocked him, they called him names! Then Ra left the mortal realm and joined his fellow gods! " He sang again, this time he jumped off the couch but immediately stopped singing when he almost spilt his cup of Coke and Fanta mix. "Ahh! My precious, Sweet-Drink That Reverses Reality!" He yelled.

Aniba rolled her eyes. Ever since he had drunk the Red Fanta, he had gone off naming everything…including things that didn't exist, like the 'little winged people'. "Fairies!" She had exclaimed trying to explain, but soon gave up after the fiftieth attempt.

"Well…seeing as he's on a sugar high and seeing fairies, I think we should start teaching him about this modern world, then." Heq suggested.

"Yup." Aniba agreed then snatched away the cup of Red Fanta and pillow that Resu was currently trying to 'resurrect'. "You're just as bad as Lynex!" Aniba yelled.

"Lynex? Who Lynex?" She just sighed, shaking her head before pouring the rest of the drink down the sink. It wasn't long before Resu caught on.

"NOOOO!!! My precious Sweet-Drink That Reverses Reality!" He then fell to the floor with his arms crossed and pouted when he realized that it was all gone, acting exactly like a young child. "You killed it!" He cried.

"I didn't 'kill it', I got rid of it." Aniba muttered in annoyance.

Heq placed his hands on Aniba's shoulders and whispered into her ear, "I think I've leave the educating to you then!" He then winked and left, but not before calling out to Pasenture who followed soon after. The door closed and Aniba groaned in annoyance when she realized it was her who had to deal with the sugar-high Pharaoh who was currently singing a drinking song in Kemetic.

"Resu…" She called in a deflated tone. "We're gonna start learning about things in Modern Life."

"Ooh! Really?! Cool!" He then jumped up and ran to the fridge, "What's that?"

"Fridge."

"What does it do?"

"You keep food in it."

"Wow…" He opened the grabbed the handle then asked, "What does this do?" But, discovered it's use soon after, "By the great Gods and Goddesses! It's the Goddess of Food!" He exclaimed in awe.

Aniba shut the fridge door, "No, it's a fridge and it is used to keep food cold. Next item."

Resu nodded gleefully, his golden bangs flopping wildly as he pointed to the microwave, "Wot dat?" He asked, then pressed a button, jumping in shock as it turned on.

"Microwave, it warms food up." She said as the microwave beeped.

"You have lots of things to change the temperature of food!" He exclaimed.

He then skipped off in a sugar-high manner to the lounge, looking at the TV, he shrugged, assuming it was a coloured box, then pointed to the standing lamp. "What's this weird palm tree thing?"

"Lamp." Aniba sighed, flopping on the couch.

"What does it do?"

"Touch it and find out for yourself."

Resu did so and the lamp emitted a dim light, he let out a sound of amazement, then touched it again, the light got brighter, then again, and the light got brighter still. "It's Ra! The Sun God!" He exclaimed, and bowed before the lamp, however doing this motion caused his head to connect with the metal stand and the light turned out. "AHH!!!" He screamed, "Ra has died!"

"No he hasn't…wait! What am I saying?! That's a touch lamp, touch it again and it'll turn on."

"It's not a lamp! Show respect to the Great God Ra!" He glared then touched the lamp again in amusement. Aniba rolled her eyes, Resu just kept on playing with the touch lamp as if it were the most amazing thing in the world.

Sighing she left Resu and his 'God' together and went off in search of her schoolbooks. Finding them in the shelf near her laptop table, she grabbed two of them and skipped over a few pages until she got to a spare page. Taking out the pen in the drawer she began writing down the maths questions and answers from the other book, which was her Math Textbook. She had been working quietly for about fifteen minutes when Resu finally noticed she was missing.

Abandoning Ra, (as he called the lamp) he looked around the lounge but couldn't see her anywhere. His sugar-rush having died down, he walked around and went through an open doorway. There was a small closed off area, on the wall was a large bookcase which actually took up two walls, and in the corner was a large desk and at it working away was Aniba.

Scribbling down some quick calculations, she added the numbers in her head before writing the answer down. She felt a change in the air meaning that someone had entered the room, writing down another answer, she looked up. "Resu! What are you doing here?" She asked in mild-surprise.

"I came looking for you because you went missing." He said then walked over to table, resting his elbows on it. "What are you doing?" He asked, looking at the open book.

"Homework." She said, then noticing the blank look on his face she added, "Mathematics. Y'know adding and subtracting?"

"Yeh." He said nodding. Looking at the book he frowned, "What are all these weird symbols and shapes?" He asked in confusment.

"Oh, that's the writing form of English and Numbers, there are also some Japanese characters, Kanji I think, there as well, but I'm not the best in it. I do English better." She explained.

"Okay then. Why are you doing this?"

"I got school tomorrow." She then groaned, "Oh, crap! I forgot! Because you aren't a student at Domino High, I'll have to leave you at here alone tomorrow!"

Authoress' Notes: Well that's it for this chapter! Next chapter 'Showers'….and a little history lesson…

Oh, and that song that Resu was singing... is actually one, but after translations and everything... it doesn't make as much sense... [pouts]

Thanks to the reviewers:

Yami Tangela, Pharaohs Angel: Hey! [waves] Don't worry, you spelt Resu right! ;) Yeh, Resu will find out about computers and everything…thought he finds out about it from Heq and Kaiba…hehe… Holograms. Anyway, I'm glad you like it!

Ente: "Weird vision dreamy flash-back", yeh, I think that about summaries it! Hehe… Um, explanation on the soul room, well, from what I've gathered about soul rooms, that they reflect your mind/emotions/feelings/etc. (Yami's soul room is a big…big…maze, the 'complexity' of his mind and unanswered questions.) Anyway, when Aniba was little she lost her memory of herself, even her full name, so that's why her soul room was just filled with darkness, the truth about herself was "shadowed" so to speak. When she does get some of her memories back, her soul room is still not completed, as seen (read) in Chapter 1, where Atem/Resu was wondering about the half-hieroglyph walls… Yeh, my muses have been locked away for too long without their sugar sources… [whispers] it does things to them [normal] I'm glad you liked the chapter! Thanks!

Ain-Siti-Naunet: Thanks for the review! I didn't notice that my double " / " were missing… so I'll try to fix 'em up. Thanks!

Everyone: 0.o [blink, blink]

Nympthsis: Who are you mortal?!

???: I'm Y.M.! Better known as Yami Millennium!

Aniba: [gasps] Why…you're the one who comes up with the evil scenes! [thinks] Like me getting hurt aren't you?!
