Xantcha: Oi....didn't know I'd be at Gram's that long...

Bakura: Bout time you came back!

Xantcha: Oh, happy to see me?

Bakura: No...I'm outta ammunition...

Ryou: o.o He's been at it with everything he had for a week without sleep, you think he'd be tired out by now....

Xantcha & Bakura: No, not really...^_^

Xantcha: Anyways, I was told I should get my bazooka back, so...GIMME MY BAZOOKA!!.

Bakura: NO! You know how hard I tried to break it in?!

Ryou: ....Uhhh....Xantcha does not own any characters mentioned in here, except for herself, Tiamut (Does not own name) and Arokh(Another name she doesn't own...*Xantcha cries*)...

Xantcha: OH! Before the story starts! *stops chasing 'Kura* I want to give a shout to:

~*Chapter 2: The Egyptian Wanderer*~

~*Xantcha POV, at her house*~

Xantcha began thinking to herself about the exhausting day as soon as she sat in her living room.

'Boy, that was a long day...You think that being a star would be easier than this, but having to sign autographs...I have writer's cramp....'

I look over at my corner table to see an envelope...'Why didn't they tell me as soon as I got back?'

"Arokh! Tiamut!"

As much as I hate to admit it, they are quick to react, because as soon as I called them, they came flying, literally down the stairs.

I guess I had better tell you readers a bit about them. Arokh, the male dragon, is only up to my knee, is red with green eyes, and can take the form of a cat top go out in public. His cat form is a mainly orange and red tabby. He'd rather stay in dragon form. Tiamut the female guardian of mine, on the other hand, likes staying in her cat form, which is black, with two tails and white markings. (Like Kirara in Inuyasha, only black with white.) In her dragon form, she is completely black, up to my knee and has amethyst eyes. Although I do get weird looks for the two tails, I usually shrug them off. Anyways, the two came up to me to ask what I wanted.

"What did you call us for?" Arokh snapped. 'I'm really going to kick his ass for being such a know-it-all...

I sigh as I reply. "I just wanted to ask why you guys didn't let me know that there was a letter from America."

I hear Tiamut sigh as she jumps onto me lap. "I am really sorry we forgot, but something had come up."

I mumble 'oh' as I open the envelope....A letter from Hilary?

I hear Arokh shuffle around to get something to drink in the kitchen in the next room. "Open it already!"

Tiamut looks up at me with a odd stare... 'Hn, I will have to ask what just 'came up' all of a sudden...'

When I opened the letter to read it, I couldn't help but smile. One of my best friends is coming to Domino!

'But, how is she going to get here? I know! I'll lend her my jet for the trip! I only have one, unlike a certain CEO who has quite a few, but it will do.'

I smile as I put down the envelope and pick up my cell. "I'm going to make a few calls, ok?" I see my two friends nod as I call up my Pilot. "Hello? I need you to go to America for me..."



~*Hilary POV, at her house 2 days later*~

'I've been waiting for a reply for two days, now...Usually she replies faster than this...'

I sigh as I open my mailbox... 'A letter from Xantcha! It's about time!...So, the pilot is coming here December 16th? Uh...THAT'S TODAY! O.o'







~*Xantcha POV at the Airport *~

I giggle as I hear my friend call out to me at the airport. My ears hurt slightly as I hear a 'WAI!' when Hilary sees me waiting.

Hilary looked as if she had raided the sugar bin, because she was as insanely hyper as ever. Well, I guess I'm pretty much like that right now, too...

"Hey Xantcha! How's it going? Thanks for the ride! Oh, by the way, you will never believe this..."

I grin to myself as my friend starts talking about how things are in America.

'Wait a minute...Where is she gonna stay?' I decided to question her.

"Where are you going to stay?"

Hilary smiled as she told me that a hotel was near by, but I don't think that is good enough!

"Why don't you stay with me? Plus, you could enroll in Domino High!" I smile as I think about all the new friends I had made.

I see Hilary give me a sly grin. "Soooo...^_^...Have ya met him? What's he like? Is he still the same from when you remember him? Can I meet him? Does he remember you? Does he-"

I laugh as I explained to her that no, I don't think he remembers me, and yes, he is quite the same as that time long ago when the stubborn baka used to be pharaoh..

"Well, I guess you'll haveta introduce me to everyone! By the way, how is Kurry-chan..."

"She is doing quite fine, and is actually doing quite well with a certain Egyptian sisters bro.."

I see Hilary get puzzled for a moment, and then her face lit up.

"You mean the sister of Isis Ishtar, don't you?! You mean Malik, right! Oh my goodness!"

We both laugh as we head to my Beamer (BMW). I can't wait to see Kurry's face...



~*Normal POV, at Xantcha's*~

Hilary and Xantcha got to Xantcha's place 15 minutes later, and Hilary smiled when she saw the two cats.

"So, Arokh, how have ya been? Doing good Tiamut?"

Arokh returned to dragon form, but Tiamut decided to stay in her cat form. Arokh preferred Hilary to Xantcha and Kurry, but no one really knew why. "How have you been doing, mistress Hilary?"

Xantcha stepped in at that remark. "Whoa, whoa just a second here...why her and not me?"

Arokh smirked as he walked up to Hilary. "I have more respect for her, and less for you, is that not obvious?"

Xantcha sighed as she glared at the crimson dragon. Hilary smiled sadly. "I have no idea why, though, Xantcha."

Xantcha smiled at Hilary and told her not to worry. The phone rang, and Xantcha picked it up.

"Hello?" Kurry's face appeared on the Video Phone.

"HEYS!" Xantcha jumped back from the video phone at that reply and smiled to see her friend waving wildly.

"Hey, Kurry...So, what do ya want?" Xantcha ushered Hilary to hide while Kurry and her talked.

"We've all been 'summoned', including you, to the Game Shop! By Yami, of course!"

Xantcha froze. Why would he want to talk to her? "All right, and I have a surprise for you when I get there!"

"Kawaii! Then hurry up!"

"Alright, I'll be there!"

Kurry giggled as she hanged up. "Byes!!!"

Xantcha sighed as she put down the phone. Hilary saw this and walked up to her.

"What's wrong?"

Xantcha frowned as she began to explain.

"Yami has told us all to get to the game shop, and I have no idea why...It might have to do with me, and my avoiding him through the weekend..."

Hilary gasped. "Why would you want to do that?! I thought you guys were..."

Xantcha shook her head. "No, we aren't like that...I...Don't want to say anything until he gets all of his memories back...otherwise, I don't want to be interrogated."

Hilary shook her head at Xantcha. "You know what? I bet he still cares for you after all this time, and that he finds you familiar...You should talk to him, Xantcha..."

Xantcha sighed. "I know, I know...let's just get to the Game Shop, ok?"





~*Yami POV at the Game Shop*~

I finally get off the phone from Kurry after telling her to get everyone over here. 'I really hope that Xantcha will come...There are so many questions I have for her..'

//Aibou?//

/Yeah, Yami?/

//What do you think I should ask her?//

/You mean Xantcha, right?...Well, first we should ask for her help with the monsters...You know, the elements in

Egypt./

//Hai, aibou, but what if she won't listen to me? She has been avoiding me...//

/Probably because she doesn't trust us yet...Don't worry, she will, you'll see!/

//Hn, well...I feel her aura..I never though she would be here first! Aibou, could you?//

/Hai, Yami, I can open the door for you...Lighten up, ok? You can't talk if you are too tense.../

//Alright, aibou. Arigato.//

~*Yugi POV at the Game Shop*~



Yugi sighed as he walked to the door. 'Yami can't talk to her if he is so uptight. He has to loosen up, first!'

Yugi slowly opened the door.

~*Xantcha POV at the Game Shop*~

I let a slow sigh go under my breath... 'What will he want? Ra, I'm so nervous...'

I walk into the Game Shop as Yugi opens the door. "Ohayou Yugi, how are you?"

Yugi smiles at me as he ushers me in. "I've been fine, Xantcha...Long time no see, ne?"

I sigh as I cut off the conversation. "Yes, it has been awhile. One thing, I."

I cut myself short as I look forward. The dark's and my eyes lock and I swallow trying to regain my composure as he nods walks towards me.

He starts the talk smoothly. "Hello." What, that's it?

"Why did you call us all here?" I always get straight to the point.

"I wished to talk to you all about something, but first things first." He explained as he holds his hand out to me slowly. I sigh and take it as he leads me out to the back door's patio.

Looking out to the sunset, I sigh and try to figure out what he is going to say.

"I've wished to talk to you, but could not contact you."

"Gomen ne, I was busy..." I look up only to look into his eyes, and immediately I look away.

"Why can you not look at me?" He looks just as tense as I am....

I am bout ready to snap. "Well, have you figured me out yet?" Why did I just say that?

"Iie, although I wish to know who you really are." He takes my hand as I sigh and skip talking around it. I've had enough.

"I am Xantcha Mirri Ojanen, Egyptian Warrior and Empress of Egypt 5000 years ago, once sealed in the Millennium Crystal, now owner and controller of it." I stop as I look into his eyes, only to see him close those crimson orbs, fall to his knees and black out.

Xantcha: Well, I guess it wasn't too bad...

Ryou: You're finally getting some confidence in yourself!

Bakura: Whatever, I just want my Bazooka back.

Xantcha: YOUR BAZOOKA!? Why I oughta-

Ryou: ...*sighs* I guess I had better just say this: Review please!

Xantcha: *yells while chasing Bakura with Bazooka.* I've got ONE more shot, and guess who is my target?! *looks at Ryou* Oh, right! Flames are accepted, but not appreciated! R&R!

Bakura: ....*looks behind him* REVIEW! ONEGAI, SHE IS GETTING CLOSER!!!! O.o
