ch.3

Over the next little while yami and his brother got to know each other again and sortof became friends, well except in class where they were fierce rivals most of the time. Yami came over to visit Ryou once in a while as well as Bakura. Since Ryou had moved in with Bakura he noticed that Bakura's parents began to treat him as they would if he was their own son. He began to feel more and more at home than he had even with his own family. At school the teacher had learned to call on Ryou for certain parts about egyptian history. As Ryou had been the older child he knew more about the history of Egypt, his brother knew more about the myths and legends. One thing that the teacher noticed was that neither boy knew anything past a certain period of time. On september the 23rd Ryou didn't show up for school. He couldn't as he was busy planning a trip to egypt for himself, his brother and Bakura. Bakura's parents had said that it was alright for them to go and Royu planned to make this his final trip home, he wanted to see exactly what had happened after he was trapped. He decided that the trip would take three months at most because he planned on using old egyptian methods of traveling once they got there. Ryou's teacher phoned early in the morning to ask where he was but was shocked when Ryou answered the phone.

"Hello?" Ryou asked when he picked up the reciever.

"Ryou? why aren't you in school today?"

"Oh sorry i forgot to tell you. I'm planning a trip to egypt for Bakura, Yami and myself it's probably going to take at least three months but our parents already said that it was alright,I took the day off to make the plans and book our flights."

"Oh. well then should i tell the class about your trip?"

"Well Yami and Bakura know of course but if you want you could tell the rest of the class, oh and could you give my homework to Bakura? And also could you give Yami, and Bakura their homework for the next three months or at least what we have to know because the next flight is tomorrow and the one after that doesn't leave until January."

"Uhh sure. I'll tell Yami and Bakura to call you at lunch as well."

"Thank you now i need to get back to work. This is going to take some time."

"Alright, I'll see you in three months then."

Ryou and the teacher hung up and the teacher went back to class.

"Alright students,I just called Ryou and he's told me that Bakura, Yami and himself are going to Egypt. Yami, Bakura you two should probably call him at lunch, he said that the flight to Egypt leaves tomorrow."

Bakura and Yami stared at their teacher then ran out of the room to the office. When they got there they stood to catch their breath. Then they walked into the office.

"Oh hello boys what can i do for you?" The secretary asked.

"Could we please use the phone for a minute? it's immportant."

"Of course."

The secretary passed the phone to the two boys. Bakura quickly dialed his home phone number. He waited until some one picked up and said hello. it was his mother.

"Hello?"

"Hi mom. uhh is Ryou around?"

"Yes he is hold on a moment."

Bakura's mom called Ryou and he picked up the phone.

"What is it Bakura?"

"The flight is leaving tomorrow? What time?I needto know for Yami's sake."

"Unfortunately it leaves at six a.m so i've made arrangements with your mother for Yami to stay at our house for the night. Were flying to Egypt then were getting three camelsI already booked our flight and our transportation. Once we get out of Cairo were traveling on our own no modern transportation at all."

"You really planned this out didn't you?"

"Yeah now i need to go have a long nap, because i still need to pick up my passport which i had created last week the twoof you also have to come get them, but were picking them up at lunch so you should be fine."

"Alright i'll tell Yami, we kindof rushed out of class as soon as we heard."

"I noticed now if you don't mind i need some sleep i was up half the night making preparations."

"See ya later."

"Whatever."

They both hung up and on the way back to class Bakura told Yami everything.

"So i guess that htis means that I'll have to say goodbye o my other friends......I think i'll take Tristan's style of saying goodbye.....at least to Joey......"

"You must really like playing practical jokes on him i guess."

"Who doesn't?"

The two laughed as they walked down the hall. While his brother and friend were laughing Ryou was trying to sleep with a complete migrain, his skull felt like it was being slit open and it was being hammered at the same time. Bakura's mom opened the bedroom door and noticed Ryou lying on the bed head facing the pillow.

"Ryou are you alright?"

"No. I have a pounding headache."

"Don't worry i'll get you some tylenol for your head. For now just lay here and don't move much."

"Alright."

Bakura's mother went downstairs.

'She reminds me of my own mother before my father......what amI thinking she would never be here, it's immposible.'

Bakura's mother came back upsairs with a small pill bottle and a glass of water. She made Ryou sit up and take the pills then layed him back down.

"Ryou what exacly happened to your parents?"

Ryou sighed. "Nothing really,I never really knew my mother and my father disowned me and made my younger brother take my place."

"What was your mothers name?" she asked carefully dreading his answer, if he said someone that she didn't know then it would be immpossible to know who he really was.

"Her name was Kiyame,I saw pictures of her thoughI slightly remember what she looked like from whenI was young."

"K-kiyame? Ryou tell me, what was your fathers name?"

"His name was Shinoku."

"Oh ra....."

"What did you just say?"

Ryou sat bolt upright and stared at Bakura's mother. Her face had gone white and she looked like she was going to faint.

"Are you alright?"

"I believe so Ryou but if i'm correct Shinoku lived 5000 years ago in ancient egypt and was the pharoh!"

"H-how did you know that? You can't have known that!"

"I could, Ryou my name is Maira now but along time ago in a past life my name was Kiyame Isemaru."

"No, no way! This is immpossible! But what about Bakura?"

"The thing is whenI came hereI still had my memories from the past but also of another life here.I had thought thatI would never see anyone form my past life again. But it was strange. When Bakura was born i had thought that he was my first son from that life. Though i now know that i was mistaken."

"So you are my mother then. It's strange.I have no memory of a life here as i was trapped in the shadow realm andI just woke up here all of a sudden."

"Why were you trapped in the shadow realm?"

"Well when father disowned me,I began to steal stuff from the palace then one dayI believe three days laterI snuck into the palace and killed father but then Yami caught me and trapped me in the shadow realm."

"Well that makes sense....."

--Well i'm done this chapter so there now i will update soon i promise, though it may be a while......--
