THE LINE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH

CH.4 GOING BACK TO EYGPT

It was early Sunday morning, 9:00 A.M to be exact. Yugi woke from his slumbers to take on the task he didn't want to. Go back to Egypt and face Isis and the others for help. He decided not to get his friends involved this time; he thought it out to be too dangerous for them. He wasn't even going to tell his grandpa, he was going to leave a note and sneak out of the house. By the time his grandpa read it he'd be at the airport.

He pulled out the suitcase he used the last time he went to Egypt. He packed as much clothes, he could fit, plus a toothbrush, toothpaste, and all sorts of things he'd need for a few days. He had no idea how long he'd be gone. After he was packed and ready he prepared the note he was going to leave.

Dear Grandpa,

I am going away for a few days. It's not important where or how long I'll be gone. Please don't get worried I'll be okay, just let me get away for a few days. I fear if I don't complete this thought I keep having I won't be able to bear it anymore.

Love your grandson,

Yugi

After he was satisfied with the letter, out came the tricky part, sneaking to the airport. He carefully opened his door, peeking his head out first to make sure the coast was clear. When he was it was he crept very quietly down the stairs, hiding behind the corner that was there looking out with his back against the wall, he peeked again to make sure his grandpa wasn't around. From the looks of it you'd say he's a spy trying to escape from his enemies clutches. Only one part of that was true, he was trying to escape.

He walked through the living room and slowly opened the swinging door to the kitchen. Everything was silent. Not a soul around making any noise. Yugi sighed with relief as he walked over to the refrigerator to tape his note clearly too where he knew his grandpa would see it. Smiling now Yugi walked back into the living room and out the door. Once he walked halfway down the street he knew he was safe. He was on his way to bringing his Yami back.

It was a long walk to the airport it was around 11:00 by the time he got there. He sat his suitcase down, sat on one of the many benches and rested for a while. As he took a break he watched everyone else scurrying to catch their flight and running to get back home. He wondered if they had to deal with the kinds of problems he had. 'Yeah, a lot of people are going to Egypt to bring back a dead pharaoh because they love him.' Yugi rolled his eyes at his own sarcastic thought as he leaned his head against the wall and shut his eyes.

"Where am I?" Yugi looked around, wondering how on earth he got to where he was standing. "Wasn't I at the airport?" He questioned out loud. Yugi was surrounded in a cold dark abyss. It was very dark and there seemed to be no ground or sky. He started walking not getting any change of scenery. "Is this the shadow realm?" Yugi asked dumbfounded, he knew that was something stupid to ask there's no way he could've gone to the shadow realm. Soon Yugi stopped when he saw a figure standing there. He was about a head taller then Yugi and had his same hair except it was spikier. He was wearing a long purple cape that fell down to the floor almost. You could see the back of what looked like a golden crown. He had his back turned to Yugi and had his arms crossed over his chest. Yugi rubbed his eyes, could it be? Could it really be Yami? "Yami?" He asked out trying to reassure himself. Yugi started running towards him but every step he took Yami went farther away. After what seemed like forever Yugi finely reached him. Yami turned around with his trade mark smile but he didn't say a word. Yugi smiled almost in tears from being so happy, "Yami is it really you?" He reached over to touch his face but as soon as he did over a thousand cracks appeared all over him and soon Yami shattered and fell into pieces all over the floor.

"Hey kid you okay?" Yugi shot up in a cold sweat, looking around seeing he was back into the airport. Yugi looked up and was face to face with an elderly woman that looked about in her 50's with red hair. "What time is it?" Yugi asked a little breathless from his nightmare. "It's around 7:00 P.M, I've been watching you, and you fell asleep around 9:00 this morning. You were worrying me with your yelling." Yugi couldn't believe he'd slept for so long. "I'm really sorry ma'am I didn't mean to worry you." She gave him a warm smile, "That's okay I didn't want you to miss your plane." Yugi stood up and grabbed his suitcase. "Thank you, I've got to go check with the information booth." She nodded and sat down where Yugi stood up.

The young lady behind the counter was absently filing her nails; she was unaware of Yugi's presence until he coughed. "Oh I'm sorry how can I help you?" Her voice was very ditsy and Yugi hoped she could give him information. "Um I need a plane ticket for Egypt, when's the soonest plane?" She lifted her legs that were propped up on the counter and started busily searching a computer. "Next flight leaves in the next 10 minutes." She said eyeing him; Yugi bowed showing his thanks as he ran off to buy a ticket. He was lucky enough to get the last ticket they were offering for the day.

After paying for the ticket he ran off to catch his plane. He got a decent seat for of course all he could afford was couch. He settled in for a long flight to Egypt, he was one step closer to getting Yami back.

It seemed like only seconds but it was well into the next day when Yugi awoke to the pilot announcing the arrival to Cairo Egypt.

(A/N: I have no idea actually where the whole ordeal happened in Egypt so I just named a city I knew in Egypt, sorry!!!)

Yugi stepped into the airport now knowing he was so far away from home alone he felt a little worried. He hoped his grandpa had read his letter. Yugi walked out of the airport and was on his way to a hotel where he could stay for a while. 'It's so warm here.' Yugi thought as he wiped some beads of sweat off his forehead. He reached the hotel and walked up to the desk guy. "Um excuse me; I'd like to rent room for a few days." Yugi said shyly. The young man smiled and nodded, he didn't speak Japanese but he knew what he wanted.

Yugi put his money on the counter and he walked him to his room. He gave him the key and left Yugi alone to unpack. "Well I've got the first part done. Now I've got to talk to Isis and the others." Yugi sighed; he knew this wouldn't be so easy.
