A/N: Alrighty, here is my second chapter, which has always and forever been story format. I find this to be a funny chapter in many ways, so I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for all of you who reviewed my chapter again! It means a lot to me! Keep it up! Oh yeah, I don't own YuGiOh, but I do own Alexa and my story ideas.
Alexa and Yugi ran to where they thought Yami might be, the palace. They ran past bazaars, and people. What they didn't realize was the way they were dressed suggested royalty. Alexa was wearing a linen dress, and had a cape- like sheet of linen as well as some leather sandals. She had some silver anklets (just so you know, Egyptians valued silver more then gold because silver was rarer) and some silver bracelets, and silver ankhs dangled from her ears. To complete her look was a broad golden neckband, covered in several gemstones. Both she and Yugi had dark Egyptian skin, and Alexa's hair was black, while Yugi's stayed the same as always. There eyes remained the same purple color. Yugi was wearing a kilt-like thing, as well as t-shirt like top. He also had a linen cape, and leather sandals. Just like Alexa, he had a broad neckband with gemstones on it. Also, something they both had yet to notice was the fact that Yugi also had two silver ankh earrings, but his had several gems and gold inlaid in it, to make up for the value Alexa had in her bracelets and anklets. As they rushed by, people noticed there clothing and immediately considered them royalty.
They paused in front of a huge building, which was protected by guards who were watching the inner courtyard. Alexa caught one glimpse of the large and muscular guards and began to back away.
"Alexa, what's wrong? Where are you going?" Yugi asked questioningly.
"I'm not entering in a place where we can be captured as prisoners, and whipped to death by gi-hugey guards."
"Gi-hugey?"
"Yes, gi-hugey." Alexa replied as-a-matter-of-factly. (In case anyone's wondering, the "gi" is coming from "giant" and is pronounced like the "gi" in "giant.)
"Okay, well, see you then." Yugi answered and began to walk forward.
"Wha-but, Yugi! Please don't leave me! Hey, nice earrings!"
Yugi took a second to notice the earrings he now had. He shook his head as he realized Alexa's plan to distract him worked. "Alexa, look at me! I have earrings from being here! We're going in!" Yugi retorted angrily as he grabbed Alexa's arm and dragged her towards the tall door.
"Yugi!"
"We're going!"
"Not that! I like your earrings!"
Yugi stopped and turned towards Alexa, who smiled and shrugged. He shook his head as he sighed and continued forward.
When they reached the "gi-hugey" guards, Alexa was relieved as they did nothing to stop them. Instead, the two who were guarding the doors bowed deeply as they passed.
"That was weird…" Alexa noted as they passed. "I didn't think guards were supposed to bow like that to people."
"I didn't think so either." Yugi added, playing with one of his earrings, because he found the weight of them rather heavy to be dangling from ears.
"I wonder where the Pharaoh would be." Alexa asked to no one in particular.
"I hope it's Yami. I'm not sure what I'll be able to do if he won't be here."
"I'm sure he is, Yugi. Besides, that's the only thing that would make sense with the fact that your millennium puzzle is gone." Alexa added gently, knowing Yugi was probably twenty times more worried about it then she was.
They walked through what seemed to be a maze, when suddenly they noticed a rather large door. The two looked at each other, and nodded. Yugi gently pushed open the door to reveal a large thrown room. And the person sitting on the thrown was…
"Yami!" Yugi shouted and laughed as he ran towards the inhabitant of the millennium puzzle.
Alexa was happy, but she suddenly had a thought: What happened if Yami didn't remember her and Yugi? She thought towards Yugi, which strangely enough used none of her powers. Yugi, I just had a what if…She stopped when she noticed Yugi already talking to Yami. She ran after him, good or bad, she'd be there for Yugi.
"Yugi? Alexa? Do either of you know what happened that caused all of this?" Yami had stepped of the thrown. No one was in the room except for the three of them.
Alexa tool a moment to look at Yami's new outfit. He had leather sandals, a linen kilt, and a t-shirt like top, just like Yugi. However, unlike Yugi, he had a belt like band around his waist. He too, had a golden plated neckband, but it had obviously more valuable jewels. He had several silver rings on his fingers, and a maroon colored cape. He had a golden headpiece encircling his head, but the only part that could be seen was a part that appeared on his forehead, which had the millennium symbol on it. He also had silver ankh earrings, and his were almost completely covered with the finest of rarest gems, and were very skillfully inlaid. Alexa struggled to keep from laughing at the though of the two wearing such large earrings. She was used to them, but those two?
"I'm not sure; all I know is that both my puzzle and Alexa's powers did it." Yugi answered Yami's question, taking Alexa back into reality.
"So you two have no better luck knowing what happened then I did." Yami sighed.
"At least we're all together, I mean, do you know how much more worse this could be?" Alexa added.
"Wait! Alexa, couldn't you just use your powers to get us all back?"
"My powers? Oh yeah, my powers…" Alexa laughed "I forgot about those!"
Yugi did an anime fall. "You're supposed to forget about them!"
"But Alexa, can you get us back?" Yami asked, not liking this situation at all.
"One back to our time, coming up!" Alexa said very chipper. Her forehead lit up, all in brilliant colors. She concentrated all her energy to this one task. She kept focusing her energy, but it was taking more then what should have been needed. She through in the last of her energy, but it still felt like something was missing. She stopped, and collapsed to the floor. She'd never attempted to use all that energy before. She never should have had too, and besides that, she had yet to grow used to them.
"Alexa!" Both Yugi and Yami caught her fall to make sure she was ok.
"Alexa, are you alright?" Yugi asked worriedly.
"What happened?" Yami asked. He sounded more concerned then he really was.
"To answer your questions in order…" Alexa said while she tried to get up, but failed. "I will be alright in a few minute, and I'm not sure what happened. It's like I needed another piece of a puzzle…that's it! I answered my own question!" Yugi and Yami both shot her an identical look, there heads were slightly cocked to one side, each with an eyebrow raised at her.
"What question and what answer?" Yugi asked, wondering why the word "puzzle" had aided her answer.
Alexa rose to her feet, feeling a lot better. "There was something keeping me from being able to take us all back. My question was what it was. The answer is that it took both of our M.P's…"
"M.P's?" Yugi and Yami asked in unison.
"Sorry, that was something I made up: It stands for Millennium Puzzle, and also the Millennium Powers. So instead of saying Millennium Puzzle and Millennium Powers, I just figured M.P. was a shorter abbreviation.
"Oh…" Yugi and Yami once again replied together."
"Would you stop doing that?"
"Stop doing what?" They replied identically.
"That! Saying the same thing at the same time! It's more annoying then when Yugi complains about his earrings!"
"It's not my fault they weigh two pounds!" Yugi argued, getting to be a very rare anger in his voice.
"Anyway, to make a long story short, we need both the puzzle and the powers to get back." Alexa finished.
"Are you sure your okay Alexa? That looked like it took a lot out of you…" Yugi asked, he had already forgiven Alexa from what she had said.
"I'm not so sure. However, I'm not about to try using my powers until I need to, I mean, what happens if I drain them completely? We'll be stuck here forever!"
"And that won't be good. So, what are we going to do in the mean time?" Yugi asked, still letting the whole situation sink in.
"Why don't you two explore the palace some more? I can't really leave here in case something happens."
"Yami, will you be okay doing this?" Alexa asked, curiously, a hint of what seemed to be nervousness in her voice. "I mean, the whole running a country thing, can you handle it?"
"I've done it before, and I'll be able to do it again." Yami answered with a smile.
Yugi and Alexa were about to leave when suddenly someone ran in.
"It's one of those gi-hugey guards we saw before!" Alexa said, as she stated the obvious.
"Gi-hugey?" Yami questioned. He hardly knew any of Alexa's words; she seemed to be constantly making up new ones.
"Yes, gi-hugey." Alexa said with a sweat drop.
The guard ran up to the three of them, bowed low, and muttered something in Arabic, the language of Egypt. Alexa and Yugi both raised a brow, while Yami answered the man back in the same tongue. Yami seemed to be shocked and angry at whatever the guard had said, and the guard cowered in fear, stammering as he spoke. Alexa also felt nervous as Yami yelled, but she wouldn't dare show it. Yugi seemed calm enough; she figured she should be too. But what she was really afraid of was what was being discussed. Yami told the guard something, then the guard bowed and left. Yami sighed, and turned back to the two.
"He said that the thief, Bokura, has stolen the Millennium Puzzle." Yami said, sounding a bit dazed, as if he was still thinking about what had been said.
"He what?!" Alexa and Yugi shouted in unison. This situation wasn't getting any easier.
"He used the power of his Millennium Ring to break into the chamber. It's probably only a matter of time, that is, before he comes here requesting to battle me." Yami said, this time more sure of himself.
"Battle with the items? But, if that's the case, you don't have anything to battle with!" Alexa cried, immediately resenting what she had said.
"I know." Yami said, as he turned away from them.
"I'll help," Alexa said flatly, turning towards Yami "I'm not sure what I can do, but I promise that I'll go down trying." Alexa added, more fear in her voice then she wanted to let out.
"He'll come when we are least expecting it, you two should go find a room to spend the night." Yami said, forcing a smile.
"Will we be able to find one?" Yugi asked, knowing that normally there weren't two extra nobles around.
"You forget, Yugi. Here, I am Pharaoh." Yami said, reassuringly.
"Come on, Yugi! This place is huge! Anything could be here!" Alexa successfully cheerful, trying to keep Yugi from worrying. He was being quiet, a sign he wasn't alright.
"Oh, alright…" Yugi answered. He was no good at hiding how he felt. Alexa could relate. But, around him, she felt like she had to help him out, to be strong for him. They left the throne room, to look around.
"Gi-hugey?" Yami said to himself as they left.
Yugi gradually got back to himself, and eventually, they found the kitchen, which was a good thing, because they were both getting hungry.
"I wonder why there's no one around…" Alexa said. It was true. The whole time they had been here, they saw no one, but it hardly concerned Yugi or Alexa. Alexa walked over to a large jar. It had a straw-like piece of wood in it. There was some kind of liquid in it, and it gave off a familiar smell. Alexa looked at it for a minute, but couldn't figure out what it reminded her of.
"Hey Yugi, what does this smell like?" Alexa asked. Yugi was over by a few loaves of bread, wondering if he should eat it. He put it down and came over.
"I'm not sure…I know what it is…but I just can't put my finger on it…Alexa! What are you doing?!" Yugi yelled as Alexa took a sip of it.
"What ever it is, it's good!" Alexa said, drinking some more.
Yugi sighed. He wasn't sure if it was something he had ever actually had before. He knew he'd heard of it, but still, what was it?
"Mm, you gotta try some of this stuff…it's absolutely delish!" Alexa said, right when Yugi remembered what it was.
He knew Alexa didn't say "delish", now he knew why she said it.
"Alexa! Don't drink that! It's beer!" Yugi said, as it hit him. I should have known! I read that somewhere; beer is a staple to Ancient Egyptians diet! Yugi thought to himself.
"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts! All stacked up in a row!" Alexa sang, drunk. "Big ones, small ones! Some as big as your head!" Alexa began to walk in a very wobbly fashion. Yugi ran over to steady her.
"We're finding a room for you, before you do something really stupid!" Yugi sighed as Alexa continued acting drunk.
"And since I don't know the rest of the words, I'll sing it again instead! Oh, I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts!" She sang, surprisingly she wasn't completely off key.
"As Alexa says, Oh goody and a couple of Ode to joys!" Yugi muttered as he dragged Alexa off down the hall.
"Peace to the coconuts!"
