W00t A chapter on time, I know you are all surprised! Even though I didn't get any reviews...:-(


"What the...?" Alyssa squealed in surprise as she opened her eyes. This was most defiantly NOT the honeymoon sweet her and Yami had been enjoying for the last week and a half. The marble walls, ceiling, and floors gave it away. Not to mention the numerous hieroglyphs decorating the place as well as telling stories of old. Peering around, Alyssa spotted Yami laying next to her on the bed and prodded him awake.

"Honey, wake up. Where are we?"

Groaning, Yami rolled over and muttered something incomprehensible.

"WAKE UP!"

Yami just groaned again and rolled over- right off the bed. He popped up.

"Alisa, what are you doing here?" he murmured. "Be quiet or the priests will know that you aren't in the harem. Were you not staying there tonight, if I recall correctly?"

/Yami mispronouncing my name? And what's this about a harem?/ Alyssa frantically thought. /Come to think of it, he's not speaking in English, that's the language of old, Egyptian. And he's tanner too.../

Yami scrutinized her. "Are you OK? You look lost and confused." He sat up, grabbed her, and pulled Alyssa onto his lap, snuggling her and kissing her head.

"Just go back to sleep. When Ra rises, I'm sure we will be able to sort what ever the matter is out."

Eyes widening, Alyssa just nodded and allowed 'Yami' to pull her down under the blanket.

Though Alyssa was wide awake, the male lying next to her was near asleep when the knock resounded from the door. Quiet and persistent, it sounded as if the knocker was urgent but didn't want to be heard by anyone else.

'Yami stumbled out fo bed onto the marble floor to answer the knock, grumbling the whole way.

The door opened before he got there to reveal a copy of both Alyssa and himself standing there. His copy looking confused while Alyssa's clone seemed to be mildly annoyed.

Alyssa's copy, apparently not seeing the darker version of Yami standing there, threw the lighter version in the room by the arm which she had apparently dragged him there by.

"I need to sleep some night, you know! Just because you have stamina beyond belief doesn't mean we all do- oh," the other Alyssa stopped short, spotting the other two people in the room. She looked from one Yami to the other, confusion dawning on her face.

"What...?" she voiced. "Atemu, what's going on?"

"Precisely what I was wondering," Yami said, speaking for the first time.

"Who are you? You are going to harm neither Alisa or I!" Atemu demanded.

"We're, um... How do you say this? Uh-"Alyssa stuttered. "We're you're, uh... sort of you're reincarnations, um, uh... from the future."

"You are liars! I could have you put to death for th-"Atemu raged, but silenced when he felt Alisa's hand on his shoulder.

"They may be telling the truth. Unless you know of a spell that they could have used to mirror our appearances so closely." Alisa said quietly, falling into the role of a humble palace slave that she used when others were around her and Atemu. "Perhaps we should test them?"

"But... he...they...fine, ask her something only you would know," Atemu agreed, still suspicious.

"Who is my best friend, after Atemu?"

Alyssa replied quickly. "Harry-"

"But that's a male's name-"

"Shh," Alisa silenced Atemu, motioning for Alyssa to explain.

"Harry is a nickname. Carolyn was her real name and I knew her until I came to Egypt. After I got here my best friend was Bekhura-"

Atemu cut in once again. "The thief?!"

"Yes, him and his red coat." Alisa laughed at Atemu and Yami's identical shocked and outraged faces. Alisa turned to Alyssa. "I believe you two."

"How did we get here?" Yami asked the other three.

"Probably Marik." Alyssa frowned.

"The assassin?! I would have thought I would have wiped out his chances at reincarnation when I finally catch him. The number of times he's tried to murder me..." Atemu finished, inviting the others to sit on his bed with him.

"You did." Alyssa said.

"But the mean of his rebirth were, shall we say, unusual..." Yami supplied.

"Go on," Atemu urged, curiosity perked.

"He was born of another's hate and want for revenge on me...us. Ironically, it was won of the tomb keepers assigned to guard my, er.., our tomb."

"That is ironic."

The four lapsed into silence, staring uncomfortably at one another.

Alisa yawned. Everyone looked at her. "What? I am tired." She shot a look at Atemu, who grinned.

Alyssa rolled her eyes, looking at Yami. "I know what you mean, Yami's the same way. Shall we continue this in the morning?"

Nods.

"Um, where do Alyssa and I sleep?"

"In here of course." Atemu laughed. "We can't have two of my running around the palace."


"Harry?" Alisa asked sleepily, still not fully awake.

"Huh? Uh, Alyssa, I think we're a bit lost..." Carly said, bewildered. She had just woken up what looked like Alyssa but now she wasn't so sure she'd gotten the right one. There was another pair of what looked to be Yami and alyssa lying not five feet away. She and Bakura had suddenly awoken to find themselves surrounded by marble instead of their apartment room. A surprising fact, but thankfully Bakura had figured out where and when they were quickly, all while escaping the guards and finding Atemu's sleeping chambers. Not sure when in Atemu's rule they were, Bakura sent Carly to wake them up while he hid in the shadowy corner, lest Carly accidently woke up Atemu instead of Yami.

Alisa blinked herself awake. She wrapped Carly in a firm, friendly hug.

"Harry! I missed you so much! How did you manage to get here? I was so sure my father-"Alisa had pulled back and was looking at Carly. "You're not Carolyn are you?"

Carly shook her head. "Nope, sorry, can't help you there." Alisa suddenly looked terribly sad. "But don't worry! You'll see her again, soon I think."

"But who are you? How can I trust your word?"

"I'm her reincarnation. I trust you've already met Alyssa and Yami."

"Yes I have... What are you doing here also?"

"No idea. Do you know where Bakura and I could sleep for the night?"

"Bekhura's here too! Oh, I haven't seen him for ages!"

"No, Bakura my husband, not Bekhura. So where can we sleep?"

"I can't wait to tell Harry this when I see her! She and Bekhura will be so cute together. Um, you can just sleep in here I guess. If Atemu wakes up before me and starts yelling at Bekhura, sorry, Bakura, wake me up, OK?"

Carly nodded a thank you, motioning for Bakura to step out of the shadows. They all happily collapsed into the bed.


Not too many hours later...

"GUARDS!"

Alisa popped awake, clamping her hand over her love's mouth. "Silence! They will hear you."

"That would be the point, with most wanted tomb robber sleeping in my own bed!"

"Hush, that isn't Bekhura. More from the future come last nigh while you were sleeping.

Atemu looked as if he were fighting a migraine. "This is going to be so confusing..."


The long awaited...Review Replys!

HieiJaganshiAlways- I always thought squirrels were cute and cuddly, just the opposite of Marik.

ylrack- U rock my socks. Enough said.

yamijennimoto- They won't die, that would make me sad. Has a guy proposed to you in a bathroom? Is that why you say that? Yeah! You like Harry Potter too! U Rock!(see Cassandra Pegasus' review reply for more) And Yami was severely grossed out the whole time he was a girl. I mean, what guy wouldn't be.

Cassandra Pegasus- I luv u! You read my notes, so they aren't useless. That makes me so happy. I'm glad you like Harry Potter too. It's going to be in the sequel, but shh! Don't tell anyone. Try writing the he/she thing, that was so confusing, I almost pulled my hair out.

sylvyrfyre- The Triple Crown is horse racing right? I'm not really into that.

Anime-Freak-1337- Thank you, I'm glad to know that you like it so much.

shadowstalker666- In November she did. The 16th to be exact. But I thought that I explained it was destiny in the story...

SarnaKiro-"LOL much better than some others they just jump a year then go on" What does this mean, I'm so confused.
