Chapter Three
Rules


"Dude, look at that!" Tristan exclaimed when he woke up. Joey snorted in his sleep and rolled over. Everyone else who was awake looked out their window. Coming into view was a large stone wall.

"Can you shut him up!?" A passenger yelled to Tristan. "He's been snoring since we left the airport! If I hear anymore my head's going to explode!" Several other people shouted their agreements. Tristan smiled nervously and held Joey nose and closed his mouth. Joey tossed and turned, struggling to breath. Finally his eyes popped open and Tristan let go. Joey glared at him will gasping for air.

"What was dat for?" He shouted.

"Hey, he's awake!" Someone shouted. The people who where complaining about his snoring began cheering.

"What's goin on?" Joey whispered to Tristan.

"Ladies and Gentlemen" The bus driver announced. "We are now entering the city. Please do not stand until the bus comes to a complete stop. Thank you and have a nice day." The walls around the city come closer and a wooden door appeared. The bus slowed down and two men, who had muscles bulging out his their arms, twisted a wheel. The door opened and the bus drove in. Yugi couldn't help stop his pounding heart. This was it; the tournament was going to start.

The bus slowed down and everyone grabbed there bags. Exiting the bus they walked towards a mob of people. They seemed to be a heading towards a large building...

((A palace...)) Yami said through the mental link.

(You sure?) Yugi asked.

((Yes, I'm positive))

"Come on Yugi!" Tristan shouted. Yugi quickly snapped out of the mental link and ran to catch up with the others. The mob of people, along with Yugi and the gang, entered the palace. Inside was a large hall, six long wooden tables where stacked on each side. An old man, halfway bald, strolled in. Three large big screen TVs lowered from the ceiling. Everyone quite down. The image of the man was on each TV.

"Welcome to Wolf Corp's Tournament!" he declared. The crowed roared. He held up his hands to quiet them down. "I am here to explain the rules, but first I like to thank Mr. Seto Kaiba for the technology we will be using in the tournament. Now, Rumors have been circulating that Duel Monsters began in Egypt. That is where I got this idea."

Men in suits spilled out of the doors, handing each participant an envelope.

"Please do not open them!" he shouted while they were handing them out. "This is a tournament to show your skill and love for duel monsters. Everyone in this city will be acting like the Egyptians." Whispers erupted from the crowds. The man ignored them. "You will look like a Egyptian and walk like a Egyptian." He chuckled at the joke he made. "You will live like the Egyptians. There is no plumbing, electricity, or heat in this whole city. You can not leave the city unless you want to be disqualified or you lost the eight items you need to get in order to get into the finals. There are houses in this town, each can hold ten people. After this meeting you will find one house to stay at. If that house is full, you have to find another. Every dinner you will come here to eat. Street Vendors outside will sell food for Breakfast and Lunch. At dinner, I will announce those who are going home. In this envelope is the social status you will be. Tomorrow morning, when the tournament officially begins, you will be visited by one of my suits. They will hand out clothes you have to wear. You may open your envelope now."

The room was filled with the ripping of paper and the shouts or joy/anger at what they received. Yugi bit his lip and tarred open his envelope. He raised an eyebrow at what he got.

"Priest of Osiris?" he said. He looked over to Joey and Tristan, who were beaming. "What do you get?" he asked.

"We got Royal Guards, how about you guys?" Tristan asked Tea, Isis, Malik, and Ryou.

"High Priestess of Isis..." Isis said. Joey snorted.

"I'm a slave trader" Malik muttered, sullenly. However, Tea was beaming.

"I'm a court dancer!" Tea said cheerfully.

"That's great!" Yugi said. Tea nodded. Everyone shifted their attention to Ryou, who was staring at his letter in disbelief.

"So Ryou, what are you?" Tea asked. Ryou looked up.

(Later)

Mai sighed, looking at the building they lived in. She had met Yugi and the others out side the palace. They had to rush to find a house. Sadly the only house available was a small house away from the others. Luckily there was a food vendor next door.

"I dink I found de rooms..." Joey said, across the living room. The house seemed smaller then most It had only two rooms, a living/dinning area and the bedroom. In the living room they had a shrine to the Goddess Hathor.
'This man really went to the extremes...' Mai thought. After Battle City Mai had taken out any books about Ancient Egypt that the library near her house had.

"What is this?" Mai asked. The room was about the same size of the living/dinning room. It also had ten mattresses on the floor.

"Well, at least its mattresses and not hay." Joey said, throwing his bag on the bed. Mai said, picking one near a window.

"Hello?" someone called from the entrance of the house. Yugi, who was checking out the shrine, walked over. There two teens, one a female and one a male stood.

"Hi" Yugi said cheerfully. The male grinned.

"Hey, uh, do you have any room? The rest of the houses are full..."

"Let me see..." Yugi said. "Joey!"

"Wha?" Joey shouted from the bedroom.

"Do we have any more beds?"

"...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...We have two more beds!" Joey shouted, after counting them all.

Yugi turned back to the newcomers. "Yep, come in!" he said, moving out of the way. The male grinned and nodded thanks. The girl however looked bored. The first thing she did was walk over to the shrine.

"That's the goddess-" Yugi began but was cut off by the girl.

"Hathor, I know" she snapped, turning back to Yugi.

"Sorry 'bout her..." the male said apologetically. "She's not people friendly" The girl snorted walking into the bedroom. Yugi could hear Joey say hi but the girl walked out house with no answer. Joey walked out.

"She's nice" he said sarcastically. Yugi grinned.

"So what's your name?" Yugi asked the male.

"Tom and that girl was my sister, Sam. Don't worry; she won't be around here often. She doesn't like groups."

"It's okay, I'm Yugi, that's Joey, that's Tristan, then Mai, Tea, Isis, and Ryou" Yugi said, pointing them all out. Each person either waved or said hello. "There's also Malik, but he went somewhere..." There was silence then someone's stomach began growling.

"When's dinner?" Joey asked.

(Meanwhile)
Malik stood leaning against a wall. The sun had set a few hours ago so it was dark. He saw men in wearing Egyptian attire go to each house, saying it was dinner. Malik glared at them. Half of them didn't look Egyptian. He turned starting to walk back to the house. He really didn't want to go back. If he didn't Isis would worry then get the pharaoh and his servants to look for him. Malik took a short cut through an ally. It was pitch black. Malik smirked. He liked the dark.

Marik sat in the deepest, darkest parts of Malik's mind. He chuckled darkly. Malik was starting to welcome the darkness again. He knew soon he would be able to take control. This time, however, the pharaoh wouldn't be able to save his weaker half. The Millennium items and the god cards will be his.
