Chapter 22

Odd Arrival

Sam

"What?!?!" exclamied Joey.

"Yep. We need to go to Egypt," I said in a stronger tone.

"It does make sense Sam," Yugi said.

"Yeah it does," said Duke.

"But what do we do to get there?" asked Yami.

"I don't know," I said softly. We sat there silently once more.

"I have a way," a serious Impa spoke after a while. "Follow me," she said. We got up and followed her. She lead us to the basement door. She opened the door and we kept on following her. As we got closer to the basement floor I could feel fear rise inside all of my friends. Yami's hand took mine as we drew near to where Impa was taking us. When we reached the last step we found ourselves in Impa's magic room.

"I haven't been here in so long!" I said before thinking. I looked over to the others and explained. "Impa taught me Egyptian magic so I could defend mysleft without fighting."

"Yes...it's only because you reched my level of magic that I asked you to stop coming here," she said while pulling out a small cauldron. "This is the last bit of traveling potion that's left. You only have one try. It will take a long time until I can make another batch."

"Are you sure that it can go through the shadows?" asked Yami.

"Yes," I began. "This magic is slightly older than Shadow Magic. It might work," I finished.

"Right. Now all that's left is the most important ingredient of them all," Impa said.

"What would that be?" asked Yugi.

"Egyptian sand and I've got it right here," she said while pulling out a bowl from a cabinet. "For a chain but leave Sam with a free hand so she can take some of this," she said. Yugi took my hand, Ally took his, Duke took hers and so on. The only one that was left was Yami. I took some of the sand from the bowl, slightly nervous about what could happen. Yami palced his hand on mine and wrapped his free arm around me. I felt my cheeks turn pink. He gave me a quick kiss and nodded. That's when something hanging on the wall caught my eye.

"What's that Impa?" I asked while tilting my head to where I was referring to.

"Oh! I forgot about that. Your grandpa gave me this. It's your Christmas present. Put it on and take it with you. You might need it," she said while taking the garment of the wall. Yami took it and placed it on my shoulers and wrapped one arm around me while the other was placed on the hand that held the sand gently. "Good luck kids," Impa said. I took a deep breath and opened my hand, letting go of the sand and hoping that this would work.

Mokuba

"Big brother, why are we here in Egypt?" I asked as we walked towards a tent that surrounded one of the Egyptian pyramids.

"I'm coming to see something I was notified about," Seto replied angrily. It was about time he answered me that question. We walked inside the tent to see Yugi's grandfather and the Ishtars.

"Good day Mr. Kaiba," said Ishizu as we walked closer to them.

"Good day Ishizu. I hope this isn't about my supposed ancient past," my big brother said angrily once more.

"I really know that this disappoints you but yes it does. We found something that might interest you and Yami but unfortanely we couldn't contact him or Yugi," she replied.

"What would that be?" he asked.

"Come here," she said. We walked over to where they were and saw another tablet. This one looked really interesting. It showed a guy who looked a lot like Seto and there was a beautiful carving of a girl standing next to him. I examined the carving and she looked a bit familiar but I couldn't tell who. "We found this in to tomb next to this one. We can clearly tell that it belongs to your past life as a priest but that's about all we have," she explained.

"Oh please Ishizu. I have had enough of this story," he said while turning on his heel and walking away. "Let's go Mokuba. We need to get back home," he said. I followed after him. We heard these cries of surprise from outside and the others ran ahead from us to see what was going on. I walked ahead of Seto because I wanted to see what was going on to and that's when I saw it.

"Look at that Seto!" I said while pointing to the bright light that was hovering over the Pyramid. He looked at it and he seemed surprised and a bit ticked off. The light dissapeared as it entered the pyramid. He ran towards the pyramid. "Whatl's wrong big brother?" I asked as I ran after him.

"I have a feeling that Yugi and Yami have something to do with this," he said as he got close to the pyramid.

Sam

"Woah!" all of us said out loud when we landed as a large pile on a stone floor.

"Where's Sam?" asked Duke as he and the others got off the pile except the one that was on top of me.

"I'm right here!" I tried to cry out but my cries were muffled by the garment the Impa gave me.

"Yeah, where is she?" asked Joey.

"I'm right here!!" I tried to call out once more. My words were still muffled cries.

"My back hurts," Serenity said. "Where are we? Where's Sam?"

"I landed fine. It's really comfortable here," Tristan said. I felt that I was going to throw up. I began to kick and they finally figured it out.

"Tristan get off Sam! You're hurting her!" Ally said. I finally felt the weight off me and I sat up. Yami offered his hand and I took it. He pulled me up in a swift move and held me in a tight embrace. He let go of me and I straightened up. I fixed the dark blue coat that Impa gave me before the trip and admired it for a while. It was lovely and it seemed to suit me.

"Where are we Sam? This doesn't seem to be Egypt," Yugi said.

"We're inside a tomb, my best bet anyway," I replied.

"Which one?" asked Yami.

"No idea," I replied. That's when I noticed the we were in some sort of wide hallway. I walked to the south and we found ourselves in front of a stone wall.

"Dead end," said Joey.

"Not really. Wrong way," I said as I turned around. I stopped due to the faint yelling I heard.

"I know they have something to do with this! It makes no sense of why I'm here and that happened!" a manly voice from outside yelled. It sounded a lot like the elder Kaiba brother.

"Quiet!" I hissed. They all calmed down and I listened.

"Big brother don't accuse them! How could you know if they were involved!" exclaimed another voice. This one seemed to belong to the littler Kaiba brother.

"It doesn't seem to be coincidence enough!" he yelled as something hit the wall.

"What was that?" asked Yugi. That's when I got an idea.

"Would you guys like to see?" I asked. They all nodded in respone. I waved my hand sideways, I had no idea why I was doing this. Then the wall slightly cleared and we could see through it. I have the feeling that they can't see us.

"The Kaiba brothers!" Yugi exclaimed. Seto seemed to be touching the wall, trying to get inside.

"There has to be a way in!" he said while slamming his fist on the wall once more.

"What are we going to do?" asked Joey.

"I have another idea. I think we might need his help too," I began.

"Help? From moneybags?" Joey asked while stuttering.

"Yes. Now stand back guys. Yami feel around for anything wierd," I said.

"Right," he said while touching the walls. Then he pulled out some sort of small tablet. "What is this?" he asked as he handed it to me.

"No clue," I said as I took it. He seemed confused.

"How..." he began.

"Do I know about it then?" I finished and he looked surprised. "I'm not sure. Insitinct probably," I said while reading the tablet. I placed my hand on the wall and read one of the inscriptions on it. "Let through what needs to be here and keep out those that want to be," I read from the text. Then the Kaiba brothers went through the wall and landed face down on the floor. The others helped them up, still surprised at what I just did. "It just came over me. I don't know who or what made me do it," I explained as Seto glared at the Muto boys.

"I knew it!" he yelled out. Then he glared at me and Yami dashed to my side. "How did you do that?" he screamed.

"I don't know but we need your help," I said simply.

"Me?!? Help you? Why should I anyway?" he began. I looked over to little Mokuba and he seemed estatic.

"What can I do?" he asked happily. I smiled and looked at his brother.

"We need all the help we can get and we need your brother due to his ancient past. I'll tell you what you can do in a bit," I explained.

"I am not going to help you and the pathetic friends of yours," he said, anger filling his icy blue eyes. I waved my hand once more, making the wall come back to normal and he still seemed angry. I muttered something Mana taught me and a spirit emerged at my side. A beautiful female from Seto's past, his lost love, Kisara. Mokuba's eyes opened wide as he seemed to recognize her.

"She's the one from the tablet Seto!" he excalimed.

"Know her? Does she seem familiar to you?" I asked. His icy blue eyes softened as he recognized her present life and slightly smiled. Then he remembered who he was near to and he regained his icy cold slef.

"Your point is?" he asked.

"I know who she is and I can tell her everything...and I mean everything," I said while glaring at him and vanishing the spirit. She waved goodbye as she did so. His eyes widened slightly, he seemed shocked.

"How..." he began.

"Do I know?" I asked while smiling. "It's a gift," I said while turning on my heel and walking north. The others followed and I just had to say this. "I know," I said while looking back for a moment.

"What do you know?" he asked angrily.

"That I'm good," I said simply. "I've learned to read people's faces and reactions since I was little. There I times that I know what's going to be said and usually I do get it right," I said while turning around once more. "Are you coming?" I asked. He nodded and began to follow us. We reached a large room and I heard footsteps. I pushed them all back into the hallway we had come in from.

"Well...at least she can't come and interrupt him," said a familiar voice. Could it be them?

"Yeah. But I think she might be able to find a way. She usually does," spoke another familiar voice.

"Sam...it's..." Yami began.

"I know, just be quiet," I said.

"This place is huge though," said the first voice.

"Yeah. I can't seem to find the name of this pharaoh anywhere," said the second guy.

"Sam is this..." Yami began.

"Your temple?" I asked as he nodded. "It seems so."

"Why does it have to be in this tomb anywhay?" asked the first guy.

"It's the one where the one who stopped the original Shadow Games was burried," explained the second guy.

"I still wonder if Samantha and the other kids will get out and come to this tomb."

"Nah. They're smart but there isn't really a way out from that Shaodw Magic."

"Let's trash the place," said the first one. I got out of our hiding place.

"What are you doing?" asked Seto. "They'll see you!"

"Stay here," I said while headng towards them.

"Did you forget the legend?" asked the second on! That isn't true! Let's just destroy the place," the first one spoke as he pulled out a hammer.

"Break anything and you'll seriously regret that," I said as anger boiled up inside of me. They boy dropped their things and just stared at me. The color drained from their faces and they left screaming.

"The legend is true!! The queen does guard the temple! Boss!!! We have to keep the sprit in a room before she ruins the ritual for you!" they screamed in usion as they headed through another hallway. Queen??? Me?? Nah. I didn't believe Mahado and Mana when they told me about it last night and I still don't believe it now. I looked around and I felt that the air was taken away from me in a shocked gasp when I saw it.

Yet another clifhanger...I'm getting real good at those lately...anyway...until the next chapter!
