I've finally gotten a plot down. Thanks to all you reviewers I've updated. If you've cared to read this far, please review! Enjoy! P.S. Here's another disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I have no association with Yugioh, and do not own, aint making money either, simple as that.
Yami looked up again at his body and stood up. "Well... at least my spirit looks better..." He said, trying to make himself smile but failing. "Let's cover it up... I don't want to look at my body anymore."
Joey nodded his head, his brain numbed by the sudden reactions. He just wordlessly covered it up and stood up for someone to say something.
"Yeah..." Tahirah stood, and then reached over to take hold of the lid again. She stared at the corpse and her eyes seemed to go distant for a second. "Seneb-ti, Nesoo Atemu,"she murmured in Egyptian, without really realizing she'd said it.
Joey decided it was his turn to do the cheering up. "Come on peeps, we got our good old Yami here, a new friend, would you rather be down there in that coffin?" he asked as he looked Yami straight in the eye. "Lighten up Yami." he said softer.
Yami looked up at Tahirah momentarily. "Wh-what did you say?"
Tahirah blinked, looking at Yami "Huh? I...wha?" She looked at the carvings on the sarcophagus. Something was weird; there was light coming from them!
Joey looked at Tahira, his mouth dropping to the floor. "Say that again?" he said as he looked right to left to check it was the same person. "What did you do with Terrah?"
Yami looked back at the sarcophagus. "Uhhhh..." was all he could manage to get out as he saw the Egyptian art glow a bright light.
Tahirah
didn't really reply to Joey, staring at the sarcophagus. The light
soon became bright enough that the three had to cover their eyes.
A
few moments later, after the three had somehow blacked out, Tahirah
felt warm sand under her. "...Wha?"
Yami shielded his eyes, only to uncover them as he felt the hot sun on his face, as well as the sand beneath him. "What the..." He looked down, seeing that his whole wardrobe had changed. "WHAAAAAAAAAAAT!" He screamed out.
Joey had second thoughts about this trip of being a normal vacation. He even thought he might see tap-dancing mummy's at this rate. He didn't like what he saw, but that didn't mean he would resent his friends for leading him here.
Tahirah shifted to a standing position, her dress relaxing around her--back up! Dress! She looked down, she was now wearing a fine linen dress, gold sash, gold jewelry, and her hair was more styled. She'd also lost her bandana, so the Eye of Horus was accented proudly unto her forehead. "HOLY SON OF A-!" Taken out due to not-suitable-for-children-ness.
Yami looked at Tahirah, who also had a change in wardrobe. Then he looked back at Joey... who was the same. "Well that figures." He said aloud.
Tahirah raised a hand to her forehead "Gack..!" She immediately feared that Yami and Joey would notice it. "What in the world's going /on/ here?" She looked around in total confusion; they were certainly outside the pyramid now.
Joey looked over to see-- the same clothes. He looked up to see yami and terra in a new wardrobe change. Lucky for them. He anime sweat-dropped. " So, you two ready for a toga party?" he said in sarcasm.
"I don't know but I'd rather not be in this outfit right now... I feel odd. And there's a breeze riding up my..." Yami stopped. "Damn Egyptian wear."
"At least you can move." Tahirah retorted. Neither seemed observant enough to notice her mark, okay that was good. She sighed "...On another note, how did we get out here?"
Joey burst out laughing from Yami's comment. He looked at his wrist to see his watch was still there. "I am the most modernized man in the world!" he said laughing. He then noticed that it had frozen. He shook his arm firmly, but it still remained the same. " Weird.." he murmured.
Yami looked around. The car that he and Joey had arrived in was no where to be seen... yet they were in the same place. "Well this sucks." Yami said, looking at a scorpion that was inches away from his feet on the ground.
"That's an understatement." Tahirah stated, tugging at a gold armband she was wearing. "And Joey, that just means you have a sign plastered to you that says 'kill me'."
Joey shrugged her warning off and continued to tap his watch. He eventually turned around and put his hand to his forehead, visor style. "Well, sure looks like Egypt. " he said plainly.
"Well of course it's still Egypt...and it looks just like where we were before." She paused. "...Except it was night before, we weren't in the pyramid for that long." She sighed, rubbing her temple "...Are things always this exciting around you guys?"
"Now, let's find out where are we. "He said as he pulled out the map of the desert. "Well, assuming we're in the same spot," he continued as he pointed at the third temple," we're here." he said as his fingered traveled to a town. "And that's were we'll probably find food." he finalized.
You really don't want to know all the psychos after us. "He said as he laughed nervously, mentally ticking them off.
Tahirah looked over Joey's shoulder "That's assuming the town is still there," she stated. Then she glanced around, and realized something. The pyramid they'd been in was nowhere to be seen.
"Perhaps, Joey. Considering that's where the town is." Yami said, and then turned his attention back at Tahirah. "Is your head ok?" He asked.
Joey looked over to terrah. He hadn't noticed how often she had put her hand to her head until now. "Did something bite you or something?" he asked as he hovered around her.
"Huh?" Tahirah looked at Yami. She'd sort of forgotten that her bandana was no longer there, so the 'third eye' was staring, figuratively, right at Yami. "...It's fine."
"... You have a third eye as well I see." Yami said upon discovering the eye.
Joey nearly poked it, as he brought his finger up to it.. " That. DOn't. Look. natural." he said emphasizing each word, as he stared at it. "What is that?" he said, even though it was clearly an eye.
"Joey.. It's like how when I get mad or fed up the glowing millennium eye appears in the middle of my forehead, only hers doesn't disappear I assume." Yami informed.
Tahirah rolled her eyes at Joey "I'm not entirely sure." She nodded to Yami's Millennium Puzzle. "But it weirds me out...at the fact that it's identical to the one on your pendant." "No, it doesn't...hence the bandana I always-er/was, wearing."
"I see..." Yami said. "Well, we're not getting anything accomplished by just standing here. We might as well go into town."
Tahirah shrugged "Might as well..." She paused, glancing at Joey. "I'm not sure what's going to attract attention, our outfits, or his."
Joey then decided to take it as another weird thing that happened around his friends but never to him. "Well, we know she definitely belongs in the Egyptian category." he said. Joey shrugged. "Well, we could always go find some" regular "clothes." he said as he poked at Yami's earrings.
"Don't touch my bling-bling." Yami swiped Joey's hand away. ( ROFL I couldn't resist XD )
Tahirah stared at Yami as if he was completely insane. Then she raised one hand with a sigh "...Oh boy..."
Yami began to walk toward the inferred direction of the town. "It might take a while to get there, seeing as we're surrounded by sand right now."
Joey stood back and decided that it was getting hot again. And he didn't have a water bottle! He then reached into his sack. He still had it! Joey took the bottle drinking his heart out, when he saw Yami and terra glaring at him madly, tapping their foot.
Tahirah eyed Joey "Are you deaf? Save that if it takes us longer," she commented, shaking her head. Joey was a great guy, sure, but honestly, if he was totally in charge, the three of them would've been dead a while ago.
Joey immediately stopped. " Oh..yeah..hehe." he said in embarrassment. "Hey Yami! I've got some water left! "he said as he shook the water bottle around. Joey passed the water bottle to Yami. "Well, we won't. I think. "He said the second sentence uncertainly. He then walked ahead toward the direction, map spread out before him, when he tripped on a rock when he wasn't looking. "Rock. " he said lamely and got up.
Yami sighed, placing a hand on his forehead... only to find his head resting on his forehead. "Huh." Then he turned his attention back at Joey. "Joey, if we die of dehydration... it's your fault." "Joey, I really want to know how you made it this far in life." Yami snorted. "I wonder where Solomon is..."
Tahirah blinked at Yami "...Er...who?"she asked a bit clueless. Man did she ever hate not knowing these kinds of things, there were enough question marks in her life, she meets these guys and suddenly there's a whole lot more.
"Yuugi's grandfather. Speaking of which.. Did Yuugi get lost in his own mind again?" Yami hadn't heard a peep from him since Yami took over.
"How should we know?" Tahirah gave off a 'he's your alter-ego' sort of look, how she pulled it off we'll never know. She did wonder what it was like having two souls, though.
By the time they reached the town, the place was nearing noon. Joey shook the last drops from the water bottle and sighed. "Well, any idea what a tailor looks around here? " he said as he walked past a fruit stall.
"Not a one," Tahirah stated. She did notice that she and Yami were getting the /weirdest/ looks from the people they passed...Joey too, but in a different manner.
Yami looked around at the various stalls in the town. "Well, I don't really remember THESE when we were in town last." Yami said, looking back at the people that were staring at them. "I wonder if these people are friendly..."
Joey bobbed his head. "Probably all the heat got to their brains." he said as he scratched his head. "Think they got any food?" he said as his stomach rumbled.
Tahirah glanced at the expressions they were getting. "...Joey, quit thinking with your stomach," she grumbled, sighing.
"Probably, seeing as people actually live here. I'm just not sure where the food will be." Yami responded, looking for a possible ... restaurant looking stall.
Joey laughed nervously. "Think we can sell that gold you freeloaded, and get a bite to eat then? "he said as he peered at the stalls. He handed a $20 dollar bill to the stall owner, but it was immediately rejected. "What's wrong with the money?" Joey shouted in English to the Egyptian. The Egyptian shook his head and once again tried to relay the message in Egyptian.
"Let me handle this, Joey," Tahirah stated. She walked up beside him and spoke calmly...but in Egyptian. She didn't really understand why the stall owner was looking at her like she was going to hurt him, but he answered her easily enough.
Yami watched as Joey tried to give the Egyptian man the 20 dollar bill and shook his head. He then turned to look in front of him, only to stare into a face of a girl. She quickly knelt down before him; her head lowered and in a quite voice said 'My apologies Pharaoh.' and quickly got up and ran off. Yami stared back at the girl, with a confused look on his face.
Tahirah got a similar response from the stall owner as he feverishly apologized for 'offending the great Pharaoh', then retreated into the stall. Tahirah turned to face Yami and Joey "...This is ridiculous- we can't be in ancient times, can we?"
That was weird... how could that girl have possibly known that I was a pharaoh? Yami thought. He then looked back at Tahirah and Joey, "Well... maybe we are. But how the hell did we get here?"
Joey poked Yami in the shoulder until he turned to him. "Why didn't you tell me you could speak Egyptian!" he yelled as he waved his arms. "We really could've used it at the airport y'know. " he said as he laughed.
Tahirah scratched her head "..Yami...what did I say? Back in the tomb just before the sarcophagus started glowing?" she asked curiously. She didn't have a clue.
Senebti.. Pharoah Atemu." Yami responded. "Why?"
Joey strode over to the bakery. "Yami! Got any Egyptian cash? "he said as he sniffed the air. " I found something that looks like a donut!" he said jumping.
"I'm afraid I don't. I wasn't exactly prepared to pay for anything in ancient Egyptian money." Yami responded, going up to the bakery. The man seen them walk over and smiled pleasantly, pulling out different bread types and saying "Take anything you want, for you and your friends, Pharaoh!"
"...Ah well." Tahirah sighed, looking at Yami. They could be stuck in Ancient Egypt..and Joey thought about food, somehow that didn't surprise her.
He practically drooled when he handed him the loafs. " Arigato! " he said as he started munching on one. He passed one to terrah. "They're sandy!" he said as he chewed.
Yami looked at Joey, giving him the – huh?- face. "Sandy?"
"See, what I think is all this sand gets into the dough, and then they bake em for that whole grain goodness. " he said as he passed Yami one.
"No duh." Tahirah bowed and stated a thank-you to the man. She blinked at the loaf Joey handed her, then shrugged and munched on it. It didn't do much difference..eating was just a pleasure to her, not a necessity.
"Since when did you know this?" Yami asked taking the bread from Joey. "Funny how you can't remember your math homework... but you can remember any little detail about food."
"I find no surprise in that one." Tahirah stated to Yami. She glanced around "On another note...all these stares are creeping me out. How're we going to get back to our own..er...millennium?"
Joey laughed with his mouth full, choked for a few seconds, then swallowed. " Yup, (hic) that's me!" he said then covered his mouth. (hic) ( hic ) he said while hopping. "Got the (hic) hic-ups. " he said as he hopped again.
"The only thing that seems logical enough to do is go back to where we started. Maybe there's something around the pyramid that could help us, though the pyramid itself isn't complete yet. It wouldn't hurt to look around. Hopefully we'll find something because these stares are freaking me out as well." As he said this a random girl went up to him, giving him a ring, but then got dragged away.
Yami watched the man drag the girl away and looked down on the ring, which clearly had the word "love" engraved in it in Egyptian. "Huh." He simply said.
"Well...in that case we got to walk again." Tahirah sighed. She eyed a few men that were staring at her, and threw them an 'evil eye', which caused them to bow and rush off. "..."
Joey looked around for his fan girls. He then shrugged and sighed. Oh well, it was worth a try.
"Yeah, I think we should get going as well." Yami said, walked towards the middle of the desert street.
Tahirah sighed and followed Yami. She glanced at Joey "You want to be left behind?"
"He's blonde remember? He's naturally slow." Yami snorted.
"..." Tahirah walked back, and grabbed Joey by the wrist. "Let's go." She walked after Yami. "Naturally slow? Pfft...any slower and he'd be going backwards."
Joey swallowed the rest of his loaf and hurried after the two. "What's the rush? " he said as he grabbed YET another loaf. "We got all day. "He said.
"Yes.. true, true." Yami responded, looking at a camel standing to the left of him. "Hey Joey..." Yami started, still looking at the camel.
" Yhmf yhamih?" he said as he finished off the last of the bread. " A camel?" he said as he hovered around it. " I'm not getting on one of those." he stated. A random camel suddenly spit at him, as if saying " I don't want you riding me either".
"Oh c'mon Joey... it'll be fun I promise!" Yami joked. Then going into a full laugh at the sight of the camel spitting on him.
Tahirah blinked, then snickered, then all-out laughed. "Looks like the camel doesn't like you either, Joey," she commented through her laughter.
"C'mon Joey! Take the camel!" Yami said, still laughing.
Joey twisted his face into something that represented a pretzel. " I'm not taking dat one then." he said as he edged away from it, and wiped off the spit from his face.
Tahirah managed to stand straight again, smirking. "Ah come on, he likes you," she joked, trying not to giggle again.
"It would be a good match for you Joey. Match made in heaven. HEY! Maybe it's your secret fangirl!" Yami cracked, proceeding his way through the road.
