Chapter 48- To Heaven!
Location: Somewhere in the Fields of Peace
Time: Is an Illusion
Deceased Pharaoh Atem was concentrating. Though it didn't look like much, the wooden board in front of him, with its little, oddly-shaped game pieces, was of utmost importance to him. Brow furrowed in concentration, he picked up a single piece and moved it forward, trapping a differently shaped piece against the edge of the playing board. His opponent smiled.
"That's the third time you've beaten me. I thought Tait was tough."
"Pharaoh!"
Atem's opponent, a young boy with red and blond hair, turned around as he himself looked up. There, standing a few feet away, was a strange girl, the Thief, and Yugi. The munchkin duelist squeaked. "Other me!"
"Aibou!"
Nessert rolled her eyes as Memnon laughed. "Playing messenger for the team again?"
"Unfortunately, yes."
Bakura raised an eyebrow at Memnon. "My gods, the Pharaohs are all so short!"
Atem's head jerked up. "THIEF! What are you doing here!"
Bakura shrugged, gesturing to Nessert. "She brought us here, I'm just along for the ride."
Atem turned to the strange, confused. Memnon laughed. "Atem, this is Sekhmet-Hekau! She helped me save Egypt!"
"Hey! Who helped who?"
Atem blinked, turning back to Yugi. "Why are you here in the land of the dead?"
"The Millennium Items have been reawakened! Something's going to happen, and we need you."
Nessert snorted. "Aww, that's sweet."
Memnon poked her. "Quiet, you."
"Don't tell me to be quiet!"
"I'm the Pharaoh! I can do anything!"
"Well, I'm a goddess!"
"Quiet, both of you."
Nessert twitched at Atem, cursing beneath her breath. Bakura laughed spitefully.
"You know, we should probably be going back before they send someone after us."
"Like me?"
Bakura jumped, spinning around. Andro had somehow snuck up behind the thief and simply stood there, about 6 inches behind him. The giant laughed.
"I told you, Oser owes me. The others are getting worried, I think Jonouchi thinks we took Yugi somewhere and murdered him."
"Not a bad idea…"
"Quiet, you."
