A/N: Well here we are! I usually let my characters introduce the new chapter! But lately I have had a slight conflict. I was supposed to do something with Nemari, but I've had a few complaints about this being a Mary Sue story, so now I might not do it. Oh well...we'll see what happens.
Nemari: She really is disappointed...she was very hurt with the Mary Sue comment. In fact, the entire point of this story is ruined by that comment...shame...it was going to be really nice.
Kantura: You talk more than Gibson in my story. Just get on with it!
Nemari: Very well. Now to thank the reviewer(she cut out the reviewer who made the Mary Sue comment)
welsh-duel-champ: Thank you very much for the review! Yes there will be romance. But you to do it with is the question. I'm edging towards Joey. But I will have a poll at the end of this chapter.
Now on to the story!
"I'm glad you finally recognized me, Yami.", Nemari said with a slight smile. She slowly dropped her arm to her side. "I thought you had forgotten about me completely."
"I can hardly forget someone like you Nemari. You stand out like a well in a dessert to a thirsty traveler", Yami replied with a grin. Nemari's smile grew and she hugged Yami, who hugged her back.
"It's been so long, though I knew you were still here.", she said as they parted. Yami looked at the puzzle that hung at his chest.
"3,000 years is a long time, but how is it that you remember? And that you have your own body?", Yami asked as he looked up. "I saw you die, and the ring disappeared shortly after"
Nemari glanced at her ring. It glinted as she twisted her wrist. She looked confused and couldn't reply until she said, "I don't know. I can hardly remember any of the past. It's amazing really. When I turned twelve, I found the ring in a forest. I put it on and suddenly I remembered everything. Yugi probably is curious, who wants to tell him? You or me?"
She got that right, Yami. What is going on? How come you know Nemari? And I don't understand the ring on her hand. Please explain a little. Yugi said to Yami. Yami decided Nemari should do the talking.
"Well, I knew Yami in ancient Egypt. We were very close friends. Um...maybe closer than friends. Er...I'll get to that later. When Yami got one of the Millennium items, he was then pronounced the new pharaoh officially. At that time there were only seven items. But one day, Yami and I were exploring the tunnels beneath the palace. We found statues of our gods. But there was something about Baset's statue that was off. One of her cats was silver instead of gold. And instead of playing like the others, it's paw was raised and in a sitting position. And...um...Yami you can take it from here.", she said a little embarrassed.
Yugi gave a queer face as he asked his other soul. There was only silence for a long while. Finally, Yami spoke inside Yugi's mind.
The only reason she knew that it was wrong, was because she was being raised by priestesses of Baset. She had no family, so they raised her to be a priestess too. She was very devoted to Baset, but she didn't want to give her entire soul to Baset.
'Why? What was wrong with that? Surely there was no downside' Yugi asked
No downside, but she'll tell you later. Back to the story, she became curious with the silver cat, I didn't understand why. Soon, the eye that is found on almost all of the Millennium items, glowed on the cat's forehead when she pressed it's paw. The paw went down and it's mouth opened. Inside was the Ring. I pulled it out and a piece of parchment. On it said 'only those worthy to the Cat and to themselves all the same can wear the Millennium Ring' in hieroglyphics. It also said that Bakura's item was actually the Millennium Talisman.
We took the ring back to palace. A lot of men tried to wear it but it rejected them. So then we tried women, then the priests, then the priestesses. It came down to Nemari and she slipped it on and it chose her.
"But why did it choose you? How were you true to yourself as well as Baset?", Yugi asked Nemari who blushed furiously.
"Being a priestess doesn't always mean you're devoted to Baset. I was very devoted to her, but I also had something that no priestess did. Er...I was in love. Therefore I was still the most devoted to the Goddess, but yet still to my self." Nemari said with a bright red face. "You're probably wondering who I was in love with. I was to be the Pharaoh's queen."
Yugi's jaw dropped all the way to the USA. His other soul was supposed to have married her! When he pulled it back up and got back under control, he finally asked the last question.
"Yami said he saw you die. Were you already married at that time? How did you die?", Yugi couldn't help but ask. Nemari had a much sadder face.
"No, we never got the chance to get married. Shortly after he asked me to marry him, the last Egyptian war broke out. It's not in the records or history books, because the only two people who survived the actual war were Yami and Kaiba. But they both died shortly after because of their duel.
Yami saw me die in the war. It was the last battle, and I was helping out because I was able to. There was a man trying to kill Yami. Yami didn't see the man, but I did. I pushed Yami out of the way. I tried to move faster and not get hurt either, but I wasn't fast enough. The spear hit right in between two of my ribs. I died shortly after. So that's it. Really I'm tired so 'night boys." , Nemari said with a yawn.
Yugi stared at the wall for a while. Tomorrow he was supposed to introduce Nemari to his friends. Then they were going to the amusement park. Yugi wondered how his friends would react when they found out that "Nemy" was a girl. He dozed off into sleep.
A/N: I'm sorry but I can't go on. I got another Mary Sue review that just totally wrecked what few plans I had left. I'm sorry to those of you who were interested in my story. I have to get more good reviews in order to continue on. I feel bad, but first of all, I didn't know that the idea of a girl coming to Japan was a Mary Sue. I thought that the eighth Millennium item was original. I never read any of those stories. I will resign from this story for a long while. Please take a look at some of my other stories.
