A Puzzle's soul Chapter 2

Attack of the horsemen and Younger is better!

Kuru Eruna, Egypt 3095 BC. 11.01. A.m. 1 day after the timehop

The horseman with the scythe came charging up the hill. Yugi decides to wait it up since she had a better chance to evade them in an uneven ground.

/5,4,3,2..1! / Swish!!

She jumped away from the weapon and then rolled under the horse as it stopped, taking a hold of the guys robe with her and pulling it with her dropped him off the horse.

She took the horses reigns and tried to keep it as her cover. The others came up and surrounded her. The one she dropped rose slowly with the weapon in its hand.

/Eeep! Cornered! How am I supposed to keep an eye on all of them??! Gah! Heads up!/

The one behind her swinged at her and she barely kept her head. The Horse wasn't so lucky a bunch of black blood spattered on to them.

"Ehhee..." Yugi paled. /Ewww!/

The others neared her slowly.

/Are they playing cats and mouse with me or WHAT??!!/

Evading them she starts to run down the hill to the town dodging a swing again. Putting up speed down way the hill and they were still gaining up on her!

/Someone call the child and animal protection to get mute "Four Horsemen" off my back! I don't wanna die Grandpa! Oh, like I'm going to get any help in this seventh hell, I have to get to the offensive somehow! /

She runs towards some crushed up buildings and leaps on to them.

The Lead comes but as it attacks she jumps so that he scythe is now under her feet and breaks it against the stone with the force. Yugi jumps behind it on the horse and keeps a hold on him.

Whoosh! Yugi's body starts to glow light where she is touching it. It is bringing writhing pain to them and Yugi just holds on tighter.

"Raahh!" The last and only sound comes out of the horse mans non-existent mouth as it vanishes in a silver mist and Yugi drops to the ground.

The ones that are left run away.

Yugi stands up and looks at her hands.

/How did I do that? When I touched them it felt like my ...energy was repulsed by it. I wanted to destroy it./

She looks on and sees they are already out of sight.

/Wonder what was the point anyway, not that any o this has had a point. Oh, I'm hot. It's probably midday already I better get some shade if I don't want sunburn. I saw some cliffs on the other side of the village, maybe there is at least water. Hope I find something useful and non-dangerous. I should probably come up with a story why I can't speak Egyptian and to avoid the timehop-thing...what to do, what to do?/

A few hours later...In-between-rocks...

/ I, am dying, my feet hurt, I'm hungry and hot and somebody give me a break!! ...What's that noise?/

Runs around the corner and sees wagons, horses and people.

They stiffen and start to take out their weapons. A kind looking woman starts to berate them with a loud voice. Yugi doesn't understand a word and stays still.

The one who seems to be the leader and they argue a little then the man starts to sulk as she apparently won. The woman approaches Yugi with a smile. Yugi smiles too, a bit nervous. Starts to walk towards them.

/Well here goes nothing! /


                                                  

Near the Valley of the Kings, Egypt 3095 BC. 19.44. P.m. 7 days after the timehop.

/Well I'm not much closer getting back to the future, but at least I have the basics to the language! Understanding the locals is life saving considering they should probably burn me at the stake for my devils hair...maybe the wrong time period, but not much. At least they are approving people with magic with Duel Monsters running around. It's not have been as bad as I thought. They are actually pretty nice./

Yugi is now wearing the native dress for commoner's kids, a very simple shapeless dirty white dress and sandals, she is wearing the shorts under it and stuffed the boosterpack in her sandals. She is looking even younger as she has banded her chest before she met anyone.

Yugi has been doing chores with other kids as she is now considered to be a 10-year old foreigner, who doesn't have any idea how she landed in Egypt. /And that's what I'll stick up with, its safer./

Flashback

The first nights a few of the guards were drinking wine. She was walking by and they were getting a little drunk, one slapped her in the rear and tried to get her in his lap. Yugi yelled and tried to hit him and they just laughed.

Nefes, the leaders wife came storming to them and pulled Yugi off and yelled at them. Yugi got the idea and showed with counting sticks that she was supposedly only 10. The guard looked ashamed.

End flashback

/ I don't have much people rights as an adult, I' m pretty much as good as a slave. People are less suspicious of me if they think I'm a kid and I'm pretty much left alone and underestimated. /

She has just walked out of sight where they stopped for the night and she starts doing pushups.

"200,199,198..."

/ I'm going to need every advantage I can get, so I have to be in the best possible condition. We'll be soon at the mines where they are going to leave me since they are travelling away from Egypt. /

The people Yugi met up with are selling and exchanging fabrics and spices. They are going to Far East.

"110,109,108..."

/The magic thing ... too bad I never knew that I had any would have been useful. Extra training to now my limits would be good, at least there are trained magic users here, and they might have a clue about mine. I haven't managed to do much else than healing and repelling dark magic. It does little to my offensive, though, I have to be up close if I want to do damage. /

Flashback A few days ago...

Zazu, one of the kids is carrying wood to the fire when he drips over a rock and hurts his knee and starts to cry. People come around him to see.

Nefes comes and snaps "Out of the way and give him some breathing room! Lea get some water and a cloth and Zazu calm down there isn't any need to scream, it's not that bad. Ah, thanks dear. Yugi could you press the wound after I clean it? We have to cut the bandages."

"Sure" Yugi chirps, she has taken a liking to Zazu, he taught her some Egyptian games rules so she could "play" with the others.

Yugi holding the gash, Zazu calms down.

"Come on it will be alright", Yugi smiles and her hands start to glow warm and the gash heals.

Everybody near them save Yugi gasps.

End flashback

Yugi starts stretching.

/The Valley has some sort of healing place and I'm supposedly old enough to become an apprentice-trainee. These people have weird schooling systems./

Yugi starts doing back flips.

/I'm going to the wrong direction if I want to go to Kemt but I didn't have much of a choice! The only clue I have is that the new Pharaoh inherited a magical puzzle and Kemt supposedly has a lot of these Monster attacks. So I should do the smart thing and train my magic before I go into the lions den./

Yugi stands up as she hears someone coming.

Zazu runs to her and shouts; "Hebu, on we want to start playing, what are you doing here anyway?"

"Hebu" (Game in English) as her name translates (some have trouble with her name) shrugs and smiles, "just thinking how I'm going to miss you all".

Zazu mock scowl's, "well we aren't going to miss you, none of us has manage to win against you, come to think of it maybe you should stay here..."

Yugi grins and puts an arm over his shoulder and kisses his cheek and says,

" Nah, you would miss me too much."

Zazu turns red and starts to walk away from his same height and supposedly same aged crush.

"Come on then", he squeaks and runs off.

Yugi still grinning follows.

/That's fun but a little evil of me. But he is so cute about it!/

Then she frowns, /My new name might be a good idea to use, it avoids the "foreign name issue" and aren't people capable of cursing someone by knowing their true name!??/

Stops. And slaps her head.

/I've watched too much TV. The stress is getting to me, I've been unnaturally calm about this anyway. But it's not enough reason to become more paranoid than Mad-Eye -Moody !!!/

She shakes her head and goes to join the games.


                                   

Egypt 3095 BC. 12.34.A.m. 8 days after the timehop. Valley of the Kings, inside a mountain.

Clink

Crunch.

Slap.

Shackled men in loin cloths and sweat are hitting the cave walls and rocks with large hammers. Soldiers are guarding them with spears and whips.

One of them has white spiky hair, light violet pupiless eyes, dark skin and a scar runs over his eye.

He has a rather maniacal grin on his face suddenly as he violently hits the walls.

Akunadin, Akuhamnon you will pay for murdering my town and family! Soon is the time! Soon you will face demon you created!!!

"Hey calm down there!" One of the guards shouts. Suddenly he has the hammer thrown in his chest and he is dead.

"Whahaahahaa! You will pay Pharaoh! And your little dogs too! Soon the blood will flow!" Khalid or self proclaimed Ba-Khu-Ra shouts as the guards come to restrain him.

One of the guard manages to hit him unconscious.

End of chapter 2.

Thank you for the reviews!

Answering your questions;

1. When are Yami and Yugi going to meet?

At least a few more chapters but she is going to meet YB very soon.

2. Bakura better not be lurking around any corners...

Not in the sense that he would want to kill her, Yugi and Bakura are actually going to be pretty close. A sort of similar to Mokuba and Seto...

3.The updates?

It comes when it comes, but the sooner they come the shorter the chapters are.

4. The Bad dudes?

The Pharaohs memory arc showed them, they were looming around.

P.S. I know Yugi shouldn't know about Mad-Eye yet, but I couldn't think of another reference. No I don't own Harry Potter either.

Next: More to Atem, a God arises and Yugi and Bakura meet.
