Modern Day Pharaoh

Authoress' Notes: Hey! Um… I would just like to point out that in Ancient Egypt/ Kemet, they only learned addition and subtraction, they didn't know about multiplication and division so um… [blinks] That's it… Here's the chapter!

Chapter 16: Meeting…Me?

¹: Kon'nichi wa – [Japanese] Good morning (Greeting)

²: name-san – [Japanese] added onto one's name as a sign of respect.

"Class, please return to your seats immediately! We have a new student."

There was a scuffle as everyone either packed away their items or hurried back to their regular seats. Murmurs went up through the class, "A new student? Again?"

"I wonder who it is?"

"Do you think it's a boy or girl?"

"I wonder if they're a girl… we need more in this class."

"Oh, if it's a guy, I hope he's really cute!" Aniba rolled her eyes at that comment as she took her seat.

"Big year for new student's huh?"

"Eh?" She turned in her seat to look over at Ryou. "I guess you could say that." She said, smiling.

"So, what do you think?"

"Huh?"

"Well… Guy? Girl?"

"Oh, it's a guy for sure." She said with a wave of her hand.

"How do you know?" He asked, his brown eyes wide in surprise.

"He's the one I was telling you about, my er… cousin."

"I see." He said nodding as both turned their attention to the front of the class in interest as the door opened.

All eyes turned to the front of the room as a tall boy with tri-coloured hair walked in. In his right hand he held a brown Domino High bag over his shoulder and in his left he had a note which he handed to the teacher. His blue school jacket was left open and underneath he had a white shirt with golden and black embroidery along the neckline and the edge. Surveying the class with crimson eyes, most of the girls melted in their seats.

Téa and Joey looked at each other, then Yugi, then back at the new boy, "He looks just like Yugi!" They exclaimed at once.

Yugi's amethyst-coloured eyes widened in shock, not only at the striking resemblance, but the item around his neck. Hanging on a brown leather cord was a golden pyramid, the pinnacle of which was pointed down. On the face the pointed outwards was an eye shape, or udjat.

Crimson eyes met with amethyst eyes widened in shock, 'I think…I just found my reincarnation.'

"Class, I'd like you to meet our newest student and fellow classmate, say hello to Resu Fal."

"Kon'nichi wa¹, Fal-san ²." The class coursed in one voice.

Resu sweat-dropped and tapped the teacher's shoulder, "Er, ma'am…I don't understand that language." The girl closest to him melted at the sound of his voice.

"Oh, sorry Mr. Fal." The teacher said smiling, "I didn't know. But, don't worry. We've had many student's here before who had never spoken Japanese before or weren't the best… Ryou Bakura, Aniba Ishtar, Pasenture Torhisy, Heq Rashta and Tristan Taylor. Please stand." There were a few grumbles heard, but all students complied. "All of these students have come from different countries, so I'm sure you'd all be able to relate."

"Miss, can I sit down now? My legs are killin' me!" Heq complained.

"Please be seated." At the word, 'seated' Heq slumped back into his chair gratefully while a few snickers were heard through the classroom, the others just sat back down without much fuss.

"Okay, Mr. Fal, would you care to tell the class a bit about yourself?"

"Alright." He said blinking, then turned to the class, looking over each student quickly, "My name is Resu Fal, as you already know…I'm from Ke-, sorry, I mean Egypt." He said smiling, "I've just turned 16 recently, and I'll be staying here in – Domino is it? – Domino, Japan. I have a passion for games, and also history." He looked at the teacher who smiled and nodded.

"Thank you Mr. Fal, you may now be sit." She pointed to a the row of desks closest to the window, "The fourth desk down."

"Thanks." He said as he walked over and took his seat, Aniba flash him a grin.

.

Once the teacher had marked the roll and the students had their first period class, the bell rang, signaling a double. "Class, be sure to read pages 8 to 10 for homework. I'll be quizzing you tomorrow, so I expect you to know it! Class dismissed." There was a rush as the students packed their bags and headed out the door.

Packing away all of her belongings Aniba picked up and bag and went over to Resu, "Hey." She said smiling.

"Back off girlie! He's mine!" The girl sitting in front of him growled, she had dark, blonde hair which was pulled back in a low pony-tail. She glared at Aniba with angry green eyes before attempting to shove her out of the way as she grabbed a hold of his arm.

Aniba just sidestepped towards Heq's direction. "What is your problem?" She asked in disbelief, "I just said, 'Hey'." She rolled her eyes.

"I don't care!" The girl said, tightening her grip on Resu's arm, "He's not your type!"

"Uh, excuse me?" Heq placed a hand on her shoulder, she looked at Heq then at the girl and burst into laughter.

"What's so funny?" The girl demanded, her eyes narrowing.

"I- it, just-" She shook her head and walked away, "Resu!" She called, "Your problem, not mine. I'll meet you in maths!" She walked out of the class with Ryou behind her.

"Get back here, Ishtar!" The girl yelled, "And tell me what the hell is your problem!"

"Look," Heq interrupted, "They're cousins." The girl looked at him in disbelief.

"She doesn't even go for me." Resu added then pulled his arm away, glaring, "Besides. I don't like clingy girls like you." Straightening his jacket, he picked up his bag and left with Heq, leaving behind a very confused girl.

The girl's eyes narrowed as she stomped off to her English class muttering, "I'll get that cute guy, and Ishtar's going down…I swear, if my name isn't Clara Castillo!"

.

Resu and Heq met up with Aniba who was talking with Yugi and Téa. Turning she smiled, "Hey Resu, Heq."

"You know him?" Téa asked, surprise.

"Yeah." She said smiling, "Oh, how rude of me… Um, Resu, this is Téa Gardener and Yugi Muto." She gestured to a girl with bright, blue eyes and shoulder length brown hair and also to a short boy with purple coloured eyes and hair that was three colours, he had blonde bangs, black hair with red tips – his hair was shaped much like a star. "Téa, Yugi, this is my cousin, Resu."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Yugi." He said, putting his hand out to shake the boy's hand.

"I'm Resu Fal, nice to meet you too." He said, accepting the shake.

'He sound's just like Yami…' Yugi broke the handshake and nudged Téa.

"Hi. I'm Téa." She said waving.

"Hello, Téa." He greeted, his gaze flickered over to the smaller look-alike who was currently gazing at his Millennium Puzzle, his eye's widened as he saw that the boy had the exact same item, except Yugi's was on a chain. He quickly adverted his gaze as Aniba poked him in the arm and whispered.

"I'll explain later." Afterwards the teacher came out and instructed them to enter the classroom.

Later, after introductions were made to the class once more, Resu found himself to be seated next to Aniba who was beside Yugi; Heq and Téa both behind them. Resu was extremely grateful for being seated next to her, for he was great at addition and subtraction, but had never heard of division and multiplication before. With some help from Aniba, he was able to complete the questions, though he grumbled when he realized that he had to do more of the 'Osiris-be-damned-number-questions'.

"Oh, c'mon! They're not that bad." Aniba said, nudging him.

"Yes they are!" he huffed. He looked at the sheet and his eyes widened, "What in the duat is Algebra?!"

"Look," Aniba sighed, "Tell you what. How about, instead of going home straight after school, we go exploring around the town – besides," she pointed out, "This sheet isn't due till next lesson, which is Wednesday."

After weighing his choices, Resu agreed, "Alright, but where to?"

"How about the Arcade." Yugi piped up. "I remember you saying you like games, well they have tons there." Turning in his seat he looked over at Téa and Heq, "What do you think? Should we get everyone together and go to the Arcade?"

"Sure."

"Yeah! I want to play on Dance, Dance, Revolution again."

"Great. I'll tell everyone else at lunch." Yugi said, as he turned back to face the front.

.

BRIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!

The school bell, which was right outside their class, therefore louder, went off, causing Resu to jump in shock, "What in Ra's name was that?"

"School Bell." Aniba said as she packed away her books.

"But it wasn't that loud before." He insisted.

"It's just outside the class, that may be why it's louder." She said, shrugging her shoulders. She looked around the classroom, "Did anyone see where Ryou went? I could've sworn I saw him putting his stuff away before…"

"Don't worry about it." Heq said, slinging his arm around her shoulder, "We can meet him in the Cafeteria."

"Uh huh." She said, pulling away to go after Yugi, Resu following her.

Authoress' Notes: Just for the Clara girl, well, it's a name I chose outta a book. It's supposed to mean 'famous' and I'm going with the nasty, popular girl stereotype here, so if your name is Clara, please don't take offense! Also, the last name (Castillo) is a last name that people had in the old days if they lived near a castle.
